Chinese Journal of Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics 2002;0(05):-
AIM: To investigate the effects of iptakalim hydrohloride on K_(ATP) mRNA expression in renal tissues of spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS: SHRs at the age of 12-week-old were treated with Ipt 1, 3, and 9 (mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)), benazepril 3 (mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) once a day for 12 weeks, respectively. The same aged WKY rats were used as normal control. The effects of Ipt on BP and renal K_(ATP) mRNA expression were detected by RT-PCR. RESULTS: mRNA expression level of SUR2?Kir6.1 and Kir1.1 increased in SHR. After administration of 1, 3, and 9 (mg?kg~(-1)?d~(-1)) Ipt,the levels of BP were decreased,and the mRNA expression of Kir6.1 and Kir1.1 were decreased. But there was no change in mRNA expression of SUR2. In addition, there was no significantly difference of mRNA expression of Kir6.2 among the SHR groups and the WKY group. CONCLUSION: The renal protective effects of Ipt may be related to regulation of genes expression of Kir6.1 and Kir1.1.
2.Diagnosis and treatment of appendicitis in pregnancy
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2016;23(13):2065-2067,2068
Acute appendicitis is the most common general surgical problem encountered during pregnancy, which may be associated with serious maternal and /or fetal complications such as appendiceal perforation or premature delivery.Clinical presentation and imaging remains vital in the diagnosis of appendicitis.As a general rule,the clinical suspicion of acute appendicitis during pregnancy is an indication for an urgent surgical intervention.Appendectomy is the preferred treatment.Laparoscopic appendicectomy(LA)can also be performed safely and effectively in pregnant patients without bringing additional maternal complications.

ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) on blocking the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by acid aspiration. MethodsTwenty new Zealand rabbits were used. Dilute HCl was instilled into right bronchus of the rabbits. The rabbits were then divided randomly into two groups: injury group and treatment group. In injury group ( n = 10) rabbits received no treatment except mechanical ventilation. In treatment group ( n = 10) immediately after acid instillation the rabbits received an intravenous bolus of PGE1 followed by a continuous infusion. Blood gas, airway pressure and dynamic and static compliance were measured before and after acid instillation. Blood samples were taken from artery for determination of 6-k-PGF1α, TXB2, NO2-/NO3- and ET-1. The animals were killed and the wet/dry lung weight (W/D) ratio and total protein of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) of right lung were measured. Microscopic examination of the lung was done. ResultsIn treatment group PaO2 was significantly higher than that in injury group after acid instillation. Plasma 6-k-PGF1α and NO2-/NO3- levels were significantly higher in treatment group while plasma TXB2 and ET-1 levels were significantly lower. W/D ratio and TP of BALF of right lung were significantly lower in treatment group. The inflammatory changes were diffuse in injury group while in treatment group they were localized and less severe. Conclusions PGE1 can lessen severity of ARDS induced by acid aspiration. It may protect pulmonary vascular endothelial cells through maintaining the balance between PGI2 and TXA2 and that between NO and ET-1 .

Objective To investigate the effect of isoflurane administered before ischemia on polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltration and expression of adhesion molecules in the lung injured by ischemia-reperfusion.Methods One-hundred and twenty male SD rats weighing 250-350 g were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 30 each) :Ⅰ sham operation group (S) ;Ⅱ I/R group in which hilum of left lung was clamped for 45 min and then undamped for reperfusion; Ⅲ Iso + I/R in which 1 MAC isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min before ischemia and Ⅳ Iso + S in which 1 MAC isoflurane was inhaled for 30 min without I/R. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 50 mg?kg-1 then tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated with 100% O2(VT= 10-15 ml?kg-1) . PaCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Right jugular vein and left carotid artery were cannulated for BP monitoring, blood sampling and fluid and drug administration. Anesthesia was maintained with ketamine 10 mg?kg-1?h-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1?h-1. 1 MAC isoflurane (1.38% in rats) was inhaled for 30 min before hilum of left lung was clamped with an atraumatic clamp. Left lung ischemia was maintained for 45 min then the left lung was released for reperfusion. MAP was monitored and blood gases were analyzed during experiment. The animals were killed at the end of 45 minute ischemia and at 30, 60 and 120 min reperfusion and left lung was removed for: (1) determination of W/D lung weight ratio, myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and expression of ICAM-1 mRNA; (2) light and electron microscopic examination; (3) broncho-alveolar lavage (BAL). BAL fluid (BALF) was collected and the number of cells, percentage of PMN and total protein concentration in BALF and the expression of CD18 on PMN surface were determined. Results The W/D lung weight ratio, MPO activity and expression of ICAM-1 mRNA in the lung tissue, the percentage of PMN and TP concentration in BALF and the expression of CD18 on PMN surface were all significantly increased during reperfusion in I/R group but isoflurane pretreatment significantly attenuated the I/R induced increases. Histological examination showed that the I/R induced lung injury was also ameliorated by isoflurane pretreatment. Conclusion Inhalation of isoflurane before ischemia could protect the lungs against I/R injury by inhibiting the PMN infiltration and expression of ICAM-1 mRNA and CD-18.

Objective To manage calcaneal fractures with an U-shaped external fixator combined with close manipulative reduction. Methods From February 1997 to November 2002, 31 patients with 34 calcaneal fractures were treated with self-designed U-shaped external fixator combined with close manipulative reduction. All patients were males aging from 7 to 50 years with an average of 32 years. The external fixation device consisted of two partial rings, three modular connecting rods and several pins. According to Essex-Lopresti classification, there were 10 extra-articular fractures without involving the subtalar joint, and 24 intra-articular fractures involving the subtalar joint. Two upper pins were inserted in cross through the distal tibia, and one of two lower pins was inserted laterally through the anterior part of calcaneus, the other was posterior into the calcaneous tuberosity or larger fragment connecting with Achilles tendon. After the manipulative reduction, the frames were applied. Results 31 calcaneal fractures were found with satisfactory reductions after manipulation. The widths of the heels were restored in certain extent; the heights of foot arch and calcaneus were resumed to normal; the B hler angle increased from 15? to 40? (mean, 25?). The duration of hospitalization was on an average of 7 days. The duration of external fixation was averagely 8 weeks. All patients were followed up with a mean period of 8 months (range, 6 to 12 months). All of the fractures healed well. No nonunion, delayed healing of bone or other complications was found. All patients resumed to walk on foot after 2 to 4.5 months. According to Fernandez scoring system, results were graded as excellent and good in 31(91%). Conclusion Using U-shaped external fixator combined with close manipulative reduction is a satisfying technique to treat calcaneal fractures. By ankle joint spanned traction and fixation, this technique overcomes displacement of fragments caused by contracture of tendo calcaneus, maintains width of heel and biodynamic anatomy of foot, avoids complications of wound caused by open reduction and internal fixation.

120 g?L-1. The estimated intraoperative blood loss was 1 000-1 500 ml. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 16 each): group Ⅰ lactated Ringer's solution (LR); group Ⅱ LR-6% HES and group Ⅲ colloid (6% HES). Blood was removed from radial artery after induction of anesthesia. The target Hct was 28% . The volume of blood removed = body weight (kg)?7.5 ? (preop Hct -target Hct) / 0.5?(preop Hct + target Hct). The removed whole blood was replaced with lactated Ringer's solution in a three to one ratio in group Ⅰ or with 6% HES in a one to one ratio in group Ⅲ. In group Ⅱ half of the removed whole blood was replaced with LR and the other half with 6% HES. The EVLW, HR, BP, Cardiac index (CI) and dp/dtmax were monitored by PiCCO and recorded before induction of anesthesia (T0), immediately after induction of anesthesia (T1), immediately after and 15 min after ANH (T2,3), immediately before and after reinfusion (T4,5) . Hct, colloid osmotic pressure and blood gases were also measured and recorded. Results The 3 groups were comparable with respect to M/F ratio, age, body weight and the volume of whole blood removed. MAP, HR, SpO2 and CVP were stable during operation in all 3 groups. Hct was significantly decreased after ANH as compared with the baseline at T0 in all 3 groups. The osmotic pressure was significantly decreased after ANH in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ and was significantly higher in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ than in group Ⅰ after ANH. CI and dp/dtmax were significantly decreased after ANH as compared to the baseline at T0 in all 3 groups. There was no significant difference in EVLW, PaO2 and [ HCO3- ] among the 3 groups. Conclusion Moderate ANH with crystalloid or colloid has little effect on EVLW and oxygenation in patients with normal cardio-pulmonary function.

Objective To analyze the risk factors associated with postoperative respiratory failure (PRF) in elderly patients undergoing noncardiac surgery. Methods In a prospective randomized joint study, 582 patients conforming to the criteria established by the four medical centers were enrolled for analysis. Univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to examine the relations between perioperative risk factors and PRF. PRF was defined as mechanical ventilation after operation lasting for more than 48h or reintubation and mechanical ventilation within 6h after extubation.Results Fifty-one patients developed PRF (8.8%) . Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified that the type of surgery, ASA physical status classification, history of COPD and plasma albumin upper abdominal surgery and peripheral vascular surgery. The reason that neurosurgery topped the list was that most neurosurgical patients suffered from severe head injury and postoperative mechanical ventilation was prolonged because of coma. Our study showed that physical status was also a significant predictor of PRF. According to ASA classification, one class higher increased the risk by 6.325 time s. Conclusion Based on these predictors of PRF, in high risk elderly patients necessary measures can be taken to decrease the development of PRF.
