Urotensin Ⅱ,a cycle peptide originally found from the fish,is the most potent vasoconstrictor.Urotensin Ⅱand its receptor have been found in central nerve system,cardiovascular system and other organs and tissues.It has been suggested that urotensin Ⅱplays important roles in the physiological and pathological procedures.Based on the evidences obtained from experiments,urotensin Ⅱmay become a new target for treating many diseases,particularly for cardiovascular diseases.

It is no doubt that obstetrics and gynecology contains profound philosophic thinking.To integrate the philosophical thinking of materialistic dialectics and dialectical unity in obstetrics and gynecology teaching is helpful to reveal the essence from obstetrics and gynecology phenomena.Application and cultivation of philosophical thinking may be useful to further explore students'comprehensive thinking potential and effectively improve the quality of obstetrics and gynecology teaching.

Introducing the current challenges of library of Institute of Information Research, China Rehabilitation Research Center,the paper puts forward the establishment of effective literature resources construction and reader service mechanism. Construction of library collection should be developed from two aspects, namely, the acquisition and integration parts, so as to develop characteristic,compound collections with both printed literatures and digital literatures. Reader service is not only including the traditional service but also covering deep-rooted professional information analysis and multiple types of services.

BACKGROUND:Researchers suggest that thermal damage happens when the temperature of biological tissues is over 44℃. Accurate analysis of burn range wil facilitate diagnosis and therapy of skin burns. OBJECTIVE: To establish the mathematical model of the skin tissues subjected to high temperature and to analyze heat transfer process, and then to predict the burn range of the skin. METHODS:A finite element method was used to simulate the temperature field when the skin tissue was burned. And the relevant animal experiment was conducted to identify the mathematical model. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The temperature field was obtained by using the finite element method and the variation tendency between the theoretical data and the experimental data were agreed, but they did not fuly coincide. The scope of skin burn can be predicted by the present finite element method, and help to research the process of heat transfer.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of whole body hyperthermia(WBH) in the treatment of advanced hepatic carcinoma and its effect on liver function.Methods From 2001 to 2004,39 cases of advanced hepatic carcinoma were treated with WBH.The effect of WBH on liver function was assessed by liver function test before and after treatment.Results ①The effective rate of WBH was 61.5%(24/39) in the treatment of advanced hepatic carcinoma with declined AFP in 60.0%(9/15) of patient and 100% of patients had pain relieve.The survival rates of 6 months,1 year and 2 years were 76.9%(30/39),59.0%(23/39) and 12.8%(5/39),respectively.②Alanine aminotransferase(ALT) elevated obviously in 1-3 d after treatment(P

Objective: To evaluate the effect of propofol on coronary circulation of acute myocardial ischemia-reperfusion inury. Metbod: 18 hybrid dogs (11-14kg) were divided randomly into three groups:NS group (normal saline, 2ml?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)), HP group (high-dose propofol, 11.2mg?kg~(-1)?h~(-1)), LP group (low-dose propofol, 5.6mg?kg~(-1) ?b~(-1)). These dogs were subjected to 90 min left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) occlusions followed by 200 min of reperfusions. Before administration, 60 min after administration, 60min, 120min, 180min following reperfusion,coronary circulation was assessed by measurement of coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) and blood flow of LAD. Result: The values of CPP in HP and LP groups 60 minafter administration were significantly lower than those in NS group before LAD occlusion (P

AIM: To study the effect of partial liquid ventilation on the ultrastructure of pulmonary surfactant(PS) system in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury METHODS: The effect of partial liquid ventilation on the ultrastructure of PS system in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury was observed with electronmicroscope histochemistry. RESULTS: There was ultrastructure impairment of PS system in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury, the pulmonary surfactant layer was discontinuous, lamellar bodies and plasmosomes in type Ⅱ pneumonocytes vacuolated, and a few of them were even necrotized and disrupted into the alveolar space. The pulmonary surfactant layer was still continuous, the vacuolation of lamellar bodies and plasmosomes in type Ⅱ pneumonocytes was little with partial liquid ventilation. CONCLUSION: Partial liquid ventilation can lessen the impairment of PS system in endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in rats.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of isoflurane on baroreflex sensitivity ( BRS ) during induced hypotension and to illucidate the mechanism of isoflurane-induced hypotension. Methods Fifteen female ASA I or II patients aged 13-16 yrs undergoing scoliosis surgery were studied. The patients were unpremedicated. Radial artery and internal jugular vein were cannulated for BP and CVP monitoring. EGG, BP and SpO2 were continuously monitored before and during anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.04 mg? kg-1 , fentanyl 2 ?g? kg-1 and propofol 2 mg? kg-1 . Tracheal intubation was facilitated with rocuronium 1 mg?kg-1 . Anesthesia was maintained with isoflurane inhalation and fentanyl infusion (0.4?g?kg-1?h-1). Nitroglycerin (NTG) was infused at 1 ?g?kg-1 ?min-1 at the beginning of surgery to control MAP at 55-65 mm Hg and esmolol 20 mg was given i. v. to control HR 0.8. BRS was measured before induction of anesthesia (T1), immediately after intubation (T2), when end-tidal concentration of isoflurane reached 0.7% (T3 , supine) (T4 , prone), when end-tidal concentration of isoflurane reached 1.3% (T5) , at 30 min after NTG infusion and esmolal bolus injection were stopped (T6) when end-tidal concentration of isoflurane was decreased to 0.7 % (prone, T7 ) and immediately after the patients were turned supine (T8 ) . Results When end-tidal isoflurane concentration reached 1.6%, the desired level of hypotension could be maintained without NTG infusion and esmolol injection. BRS gradually decreased with increasing end-tidal isoflurane concentration. BRS was the lowest at 30 min after termination of NTG infusion and esmolol bolus injection. Conclusion Isoflurane depresses BRS and BRS depression may be involved in the mechanism of isoflurane-induced hypotension.

Objective To investigate the effect of midazolam on expression of adhesion molecules on the platelet membrane surface in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods Blood samples were taken from 10 healthy volunteers and 40 patients with CHD and anticoagulated with 3.8% sodium citrate. Platelet rich plasma (PRP) was obtained by centrifugation at 800 r/min for 8 min at room temperature. Ten volunteers served as control group (group E). The 40 patients with CHD were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 10 each) : group A, B, C and D. In group E and group A PRP was incubated without midazolam while in group B, C and D PRP was incubated with midazolam 100 (B) , 200 (C) and 400 ng?ml-1 (D) for 3 min. The inhibitory effect of midazolam on expression of CD154, CD41/61 and CD26p on the platelet membrane surface was determined by flow cytometry. Results The five groups were comparable with respect to age, sex (M/F ratio) , body weight, platelet count, bleeding and coagulation time. The expression of CD154, CD41/61 and CD62p on the platelet surface was significantly increased in patients with CHD. Midazolam 200 and 400 ng?ml-1 inhibited the expression of CD154, CD41/61 and CD62p on the platelet membrane surface in patients with CHD, whereas midazolam 100 ?g?ml-1 had no significant effect on CD154, CD41/61 and CD62p. Conclusion The expression of adhesion molecules on the platelet membrane surface is greater in patients with CHD than in healthy adults. Midazolam 200 and 400 ng?ml-1 can inhibit the expression of CD154, CD41/61 and CD62p on the platelet membrane surface.
