The present study compared effects of sodium selenite(Se), hyaluronidase (Hy) and anisodamine(An) on infarction size(IS), left ventricular myocardial contractility (LVMC) and relaxation(LVMR) on the third day after the ligation of left coronary artery in rats. The results showed that Se, with the dose of 30?g/kg/day either before or after the ligation, has a same effect on reducing IS as Hy and An. However, Se, at the same time, can significantly improve LVMC and LVMR, which were evalued by indexes of LVSP, ?dp/dtmax and T value, while Hy and An can not. It is suggested that Se is superior to Hy and An when they are used in treatment of acute myocardial infarction.

Effects of sex hormones on infarction size(IS) and left ventricular myocardial contractility and relaxation (LVMC, LVMR) in rats after left coronary occlusion in order to make a model of myocardial infarction(MI) were studied. Male adult rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, and pre-treated respectively with testosterone propionate(10mg/kg), oestradioli benzoatis(500?g/kg), or vehicle (0.sml/kg) for 3 weeks (3 times per week) before MI. The injection was continued after MI, on 9th of MI indexes of LVMC and LVMR, IS and the levels of sex hormones were measured. The results showed that: (1) IS were nor affected by both testosterone and oestradiol. (2) Indexes of LVMC and LVMR, i. e. dp/dtmax, LVSP and -dp/dtmax, were lightly inhibited by hyperoestrogencmia(HE), the increasing rate of body weight (IRBW) before and after MI were significantly inhibited by HE. However, indexes of LVMC and LVMR were significantly improved by hypertestosteronemia(HT), but IRBW were not affected by HT. (3) It is interested to note that there was a significant positve correlation between the level of plasma testosterone and indexes of LVMC and LVMR, and an inversive correlation between the level of oestradiol and indexes of LVMC and LVMR, suggesting sex hormones really pay a rolein the pathophysiological process of MI.

Objective To study the relationship between hyperhomocysteic acid(HHcy) and artherosclerosis.Methods 20 male rabbits were randomly divided into control and experiment groups(n=10).HHcy models were made by hypodermical injection of DL-methionine for 7 weeks.After 7 weeks homocysteic acid(Hcy),IL-1?,IL-6,and IL-8 in serum of rabbits in two groups were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).And the pathomorphological changes of aorta were observed with HE staining.The number of NF-?B positive cells in the aorta were counted by immunohistochemical method.Results The levels of Hcy,IL-1?,IL-6 and IL-8 in experiment group were higher than those in control group(P

The resection can be performed in about 20 percent of patients with primary hepatocellular carcinoma(PHC) in clinic. However, with the development of interventional treatment such as transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE), better therapeutic effect has been achieved by two-stage resection such as TACE in patients with unresectable PHC. At present, surgical resection is still regarded as the first choice of PHC, and the principle of comprehensive therapeutic solutions around surgical operation has been established. The pretreatment of TACE is an important measure to improve the therapeutic effect in PHC.This paper discussed the mechanism, effect and value of TACE in pretreatment of unresectable PHC. The selection of operative opportunity, sign, and ways after TACE and the factors affecting prognosis of two-stage resection were also reviewed.

Objective To study the pathogenesis of lower limb motor disorder in vascular parkinsonism(VP)using diffusion tensor image(DTI). Methods A case?control study was performed in a cohort of 16 VP patients and 32 PD patients. Patients were all recruited from the first affiliated hospital of China Medical University from Dec. 2011 to Dec. 2012. The lower limb motor function of those patients was assessed using measurement scales. All patients received magnetic resonance image(MRI)and diffusion tensor image(DTI). Results Patients in VP group showed more seri?ous movement disorders such as freezing of gait(gait ignition failure)than these in PD group,and the movement disorders of their lower limbs prog?ress more rapidly in VP group than the PD group. Movement disorders of their lower limbs in VP group were related to fibers in bilateral frontal lobes (P=0.008). Movement disorder of their lower limbs in PD group were related to fibers in substantia nigra(P=0.030). There are statistically signifi?cant differences in both the FA values of substantia nigra,bilateral frontal lobes and the ADC values of frontal lobes,and the pars compacta and pars reticulata of substantia nigra between these two groups(all P<0.05). Conclusion Movement disorders of bilateral lower limbs are more seriously manifested in VP patients than in PD patients. The onset movement dysfunction of bilateral lower limbs is closely related to fibers in the frontal lobe.

AIM and MEfTHODS: To clarify the role of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the regula- tion of blood pressure, in the present study, we examined the effect of aminoguanidine (AG), a selective inhibitor of iNOS on the hemodinamical response of Dahl salt - sensitive (DS) and Dahl salt - resistant (DR) rats to low (0. 3% ) or high (8%) sodium chloride (Nacl) infusion by chronical in vivo hemodynamic experiment, and the effect of NaCl or NaCl plus AG infusion on urinary nitrate (NO3)/nitrite (NO2), the end product of nitric oxide (NO),ex- cretion by Greiss Reaction. Furthermore, NOS activity assay was the dried out to probe the effect of NaCl and AG on calcium - dependent or independent NOS activity in renal tissue. RESULTS:1. High or low NaCl - infused DR rats and low NaCl - infused DS rats have no hemodinamical response to AG, however, the hpertensive effect of high NaCl (8% ) infusion on DS rats were gnatly amplified by co - infusion of AG. 2. Administration of high NaCl signif- icantly elevated the iNOS activity of renal tissue, and greatly increased urinary NO3/NO2 excretion. CONCLUSION: Ihducthle NOS is an important modulator of arterial pressure, especially in case of higher blood pressure.
