Famotidine ( Fam ) antagonized the effects of histamine on guinea pig atria and rat uteri MI vitro non-competitively,however the antagonisms of Ranitidine(Ran) and Cimetidine (Cim ) on hoistamine were competitive, their pA2 were 6. 24, 5. 16 and 4. 08 for guinea pig atria , 8. 26, 7. 22 and 6. 17 for rat uteri respectively. They reduced gastric secretion of acid and pepsin of pylorus ligated rats in dose-related manner, inhibited gastric secretion stimulated byhistamine, prevented the acute gastric lesion from stress, indomethacin and histamine, and enhanced the healing process of chronic gastirc ulcerinduced by acetic acid in rats. Moreover, Fam was much more potent than Ran (6~8 times) and Cim(30 - 40 times). Besides,Cim increased hypnotic effect of phenobartal, but Ran and Fam had no or Ittile such effects.

Objective To evaluate left atrial(LA)function in patients with prophase essential hypertension (EH)by left atrial volume tracking(LAVT)method.Methods Thirty prophase EH patients and 35 healthy subjects(control group)were enrolled in this study.Ultrasound LAVT(Hitachi EUB-6500)was applied to display and analyze the LA volume loop imaging on the standard LV apical two and four chamber views.The maximal LA volume at end-systole(LAVmax),LA volume at the onset of ECG-P wave(LAVP),the minimal LA volume at end-diastole(LAVmin)from the LA volume loop were recorded,and body surface area was used to revise these volume indexs(LAVImax,LAVIp,LAVImin).LA pass,act and total empting volume(LAVIpass,LAVIact,LAVItotal)and empting rate(%LAVIpass,%LAVIact,%LAVItotal),effective pass and act erupting rate(%eLAVIpass,%eLAVIaet),and the proportionality of pass empting volume and act empting volume were caculated.Results The LAVIp,LAVIact,LAVItotal,%LAVIact,%LAVItotal,%eLAVIact in the prophase EH group were significantly higher than those in the control group,wheras the LAVIpass,%LAVIpass,%eLAVIpass,LAVIpass/act were lower(all P＜0.05,or P＜0.01).Conclusions The LA volume change in prophase EH is the act empting volume increased at end-diastole in main,LAVT is a potientially useful tool to evaluate the function of LA.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of OLV anesthesia about infant lung resection of CCAM by video-assisted thoracicscopy. Methods Endo-tracheal intubation was performed after 43 CCAM infants had undergone rapid intravenous induction. One side of lungs was ventilated by injecting 4 ~ 6 mmHg CO2 for the construction of artificial pneumothorax, and the side lung was compressed forming OLV. SpO2, ECG, MAP, PETCO2, T, PaO2, PaCO2, bleeding volume and urine volume were monitored. The numerical value of SpO2, PaO2, HR, MAP, PETCO2, and PaCO2 were recorded at scheduled intervals. Results Compared with 5min after induction,the PaO2,HR and MAP of the infants significantly reduced; the PETCO2 and PaCO2 significantly increased at OLV at 10 min and 60 min. Compared with OLV at 10 min, the PaO2, PETCO2 significantly increased at OLV 60 min. Conclusion Appropriate respiratory management and drug usage are feasible and safe for infant surgery of CCAM by video-assisted thoracicscopy.

Objective To investigate the effect on bioeffects such as sonoporation and cell killing that induced by domestic ultrasound contrast agent(perfluoropropane-albumin microsphere)and diagnostic ultrasound by microbubble concentration.Methods Suspensions of hepatocyte with microbubbules in different concentrations were exposed to diagnostic ultrasound.The study included blank contrast group(no microbubble,no ultrasound),exposed group(no microbubble,exposed to ultrasound)and 6 microbubble groups in different concentration(with different microbubbule/cell ratios for 1,5,10,50,100 and 200,exposed to ultrasound for 10min).The uptake of fluorescein isothiocyanatedextran(FD500)by hepatocyte was observed and the percentages of sonoporation cells were counted,the cell viability was determined by trypan blue stain immediately after exposure,and apoptosis of ceils were detected by flow cytometry,with double staining of fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-labeled Annexin V/propidium iodide(PI).Results Fluorescence stain results:compared with blank contrast group or exposed group,the sonoporatin of groups with microbubble/cell ratio of 5 to 200 increased significantly(P＜0.05).Cell killing effects:compared with the blank contrast group,only the cell death percentages of microbubble groups with microbubble/cell ratio of 50,100 and 200 increased significantly(P＜0.05).Compared with the exposed group,only that of groups with microbubble/cell ratio of 100 and 200 increased significantly(P＜0.05).There was no significant different between blank contrast group and exposed group for all these results.Conclusions Sonoporation and cell killing effect can be induced by diagnostic ultrasound in HL-7702 with domestic ultrasound contrast agent(perfluoropropane-albumin microsphere).For diagnosis,the ratio of microbubbule/cell should better be under 10.While for gene transfection,the ratio should better be 50 and could be 100 if it is necessary.

Objective To investigate the expression levels of DNA methyltransferases 1, 3A and 3B in CD4+ T cells of MRL/lpr mice, and explore their relationship with the expression levels of methylation-sensitive genes (ITGAL, CD70). Methods CD4+ T ceils were isolated from spleens of 16-week-old MRL/lpr and BALB/c control mice by anti-CIM antibody labeled magnetic beads. Transcription levels of DNA methyhransferases 1, 3A and 3B and methylation-sensitive genes(ITGAL, CD70) were measured by real-time mice when compared with BALB/c control mice and the difference was significant (P<0.05), while the expression of DNMTI and DNMT3A showed a tendency of decrease (P>0.05). The mRNA expression of CD70 was significantly higher (P<0.01), but the expression of ITGAL had no significant difference between the two P<0.01 ). Conclusion Decreased expression of DNMT3B may attribute to the elevated expression of methylation-seusitive gene CD70, thus lead to the dysfunction of CD4+ T cell and play an important role in the pathogenesis of SLE.

Objective To observe hemodynamic changes in patients with primary hypertension with wave intensity (WI). Methods Carotid arteries of 36 patients with primary hypertension and 30 age-matched normal controls were examined with imaging technique of WI. The following parameters were measured: the first wave peak in early ejection (W1), the second wave peak in late ejection (W2), the negative area during the mid-ejection (NA), the interval between the R wave of the ECG and the first peak of W1 (R-1st), the interval between the first peak and the second peak (1~(st)-2~(nd)), the ratio of R-1st and a cardiac cycle time R-1_(HR)~(st)) and the ratio of 1~(st)-2~(nd) , as well as one cardiac cycle time (1~(st)-2(_(HR)~(nd)). Results ①W1 in primary hypertension group increased compared with those of normal controls (P＜0.01), while no significant difference of W2, NA, R-1st, 1~(st)-2~(nd), R-1_(HR)~(st), 1~(st)-2_(nd)~(HR) was detected (P＞0.05). ②Both W1 and W2 correlated positively with pulse pressure (PP) and systolic blood pressure (SBP) (r=0.66, 0.55, P＜0.01;r=0.62, 0.44, P＜0.01). W1, W2 and age, DBP were not related significantly (P＞0.05). Conclusion The hemodynamic parameters of WI technology provide a new way to evaluate the dynamics of the heart and vascular system and their interaction.

Transthoracic echocardiographic characteristics of 17 cases of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), a rare disease in China, were analyzed in order to improve the understanding of the disease. Seventeen cases of biopsy-proven CA, admitted to Wuhan Union Hospital from June 1994 to September 2008 were retrospectively reviewed. Twenty normal volunteers served as control group. Left atrial and ventricular functions and mitral inflow velocity were measured by two-dimensional, and Doppler echocardiography, and tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-derived peak systolic wall motion velocities (Sv), peak early diastolic wall motion velocities (Ev), and peak late diastolic wall motion (Av) were measured at the septum, lateral, inferior and anterior corners of mitral annulus from the apical 4- and 2 chamber views. Compared with the control group, the interventricular septal thickness (IVSd), the left ventricular posterior wall (LVPWd), right ventricular transverse diameter (RVTDd) near the end of diastole and the interauricular septum thickness (IASs), left atrial anteroposterior diameter (LAADs), right atrial transverse diameter (RATDs) near the end of systole were increased significantly (all P<0.05) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) decreased (P<0.05) in the CA group. Compared with the control group, Sv, Ev at each wall and Av at almost all walls were significantly decreased in the CA group. In the CA group, Myocardial echoes of interventricular septum and free wall of left ventricle were enhanced evidently and distributed unevenly. The echoes presented as ground glass-like images, with some spotty hyper echoes. Both atria were enlarged, and LVEF decreased, with diastolic function impaired, and mild-moderate hydropericardium found in the CA group. It was concluded that echocardiography was a relatively sensitive and highly specific non-invasive method for the diagnosis of CA.
