ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine on calcium release in isolated adult rat cardiac myocytes.MethodsThe left ventricular cardiac myocytes isolated from adult Sprague-Dawley rats were perfused withacnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 0.3 μmol/L, 1μmol/L, 3 μmol/L for 12 min. The spontaneous calcium release (SCR) rate, the end-diastolic[Ca2+](F0) and the calcium transient amplitude (ΔF) were detected 4 min, 8 min and 12 min after the perfusion. 12 min after the perfusion with acnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 0.3 μmol/L, the changes of systolic dynamics and calcium transient were detected for the positive inotropic effect. Results Any of aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine induced SCR, mesconitine-induced SCR rate was highest at low concentration (0.3 μmol/L), and aconitine-induced SCR rate highest at high concentration (3 μmol/L). Compared with the control, 12 min after the perfusion with acnitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine at 3 μmol/L elevated F0 (1.459 ± 0.379, 1.585 ± 0.493, 1.213 ± 0.254vs.1.079 ± 0.108, allP<0.05) and ΔF(1.615 ± 0.455, 2.210 ± 0.756, 1.528 ± 0.422vs. 1.036 ± 0.125, allP<0.05), mesaconitine with ΔF higher than aconitine and hypaconitine. At low concentration (0.3 μmol/L), compared with control, aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine increased ΔF (0.409 ± 0.127, 0.423 ± 0.107, 0.414 ± 0.118vs.0.260 ± 0.065;P<0.05 orP<0.01) and contraction amplitudes (5.464% ± 2.239%, 7.449% ± 2.548%, 5.524% ± 1.645%vs.3.428% ± 0.911%;P<0.05 orP<0.01), prolonged the time to peak of calcium transient (0.041 ± 0.016 s, 0.039 ± 0.009 s, 0.038 ± 0.011 svs.0.032 ± 0.007 s;P<0.05 or P<0.01); compared with aconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine decreased calcium transient time constant (0.301 ± 0.054 s, 0.324 ± 0.064 svs.0.361 ± 0.076 s;P<0.05 orP<0.01) and diastolic t50 (0.124 ± 0.035 s, 0.126 ± 0.040 svs.0.157 ± 0.056 s;P<0.05 orP<0.01).ConclusionsAconitine, mesaconitine and hypaconitine reveal the positive inotropic effects couple with the toxic effects. Increased[Ca2+]in cardiac myocytes is the key factor for the positive inotropic effects, but also the risk factor for SCR.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have demonstrated that surgical trauma leads to lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes.However,injured erythrocytes play an important role in thrombosis following replacement.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the influence of artificial total knee replacement on the lipid peroxdation in erythrocytes,and the prophylactic treatment of vitamin E and fructose 1,6 diphosphate(FDP)on it.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Contrast clinical study,which was carried out in the Department of Otthopaedics,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2003 to June 2006.PARTICIPANTS:Sixty patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent artificial total knee replacement by anesthesia of epidural block were divided into four groups,including control group,vitamin E group,FDP group and vitamin E+FDP group,with 15 cases in each group.METHODS:Vitamin E was orally taken in the vitamin E group three days before replacement,three times a day,100 mg for each.The administration was performed until the surgical morning.Thirty minutes after the operation,FDP(10 g)was intravenously dripped in the FDP group.Additionally.vitamin E was also orally taken in the vitamin E+FDP group three days before replacement,three times a day,100 mg for each;on the surgical morning,FDP(10 g)was intravenously dripped on the first 30minutes.Blood samples were taken for biochemical determination before and after the operation at 1,3,5,and 7 days.MAIN OUTCOME M[EASURES:Corltents of malonaldehyde(MDA)and cuprum/zincum/superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD)in the erythrocytes.RESULTS:MDA level in the vitamin E group and FDP group was significantly higher than that in the vitamin E+FDP group before and 5 and 7 days after replacement(P<0.05);while,Cu-Zn-SOD level was significantly lower(P<0.05).Otherwise,there were no significant differences in vitamin E+FDP group before and after replacement(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The artificial total knee replacement can enhance lipid peroxidation and decrease antioxygen capability.However,the combination of vitamin E and FDP can prevent and relieve lipid peroxidation and antioxygen capability after replacement.

OBJECTIVE: Some studies have documented that living donor kidney transplantation has a better clinical results than cadaveric donors, however, it is poorly understood whether different living-related donors has different effects on kidney transplantation. The aim of this study is to discuss the clinical results of different living-related donors on kidney transplantation, in addition, to analyze the related problems including the donor selection, and relation of type matching with transplantation results. METHODS: Donors comprise 36 males and 58 females, aged (42.6±8.8) years. There were 72 males and 22 females received kidney transplantation, aged (33.9±8.7) years. Except for 6 cases being donated by spouse, 35 cases were donated by parents and 53 cases were donated by brothers and sisters. As to human leucocyte antigen (HLA) matching, 18 cases were full matched, 2 cases shared one-haplotype mismatched, 5 cases with 2-haplotype mismatched, 2 cases with 3-haplotype mismatched, 2 cases with 4-haplotype mismatched, and 1 case with 5-haplotype mismatched, 10 cases with full mismatched. Totally 85 cases had identical blood type, 9 cases had blood type compatibility. All recipients were negative for panel reaction antibody with smaller than 10% of lymphocytotoxicity tests prior to transplantation. RESULTS: All donors recovered well. Acute rejection episodes occurred in 8 patients, 4 cases donated by parents, 3 cases donated by siblings and 1 case donated by spouse. One recipient donated by spouse suffered accelerated rejection and delayed graft function recovery occurred. The renal function recovered in 5 weeks post-operation. All cases were reversed successfully by high intravenous dose of methyl-prednisolone or polyclonal anti-T-cell antibodies. A 6 month to 10 years follow-up showed all the donors kept normal kidney function without impairment of life quality, and 92 recipients with 92 grafts survived yet. Two recipients were dead: one due to serious pulmonary infection, and the other due to heart failure. 2 recipients underwent chronic allograft nephropathy. CONCLUSION: Living-related donor kidney transplantation has optimal HLA matches, low incidence of acute rejection and long-term surviving ratio and blood relative, which is better for renal transplantation.

Objective:To study the change rule of rats'pulse waves after kidney resection.Methods:To collect the pulse waves of femoral artery in each side of rats in Drugged state.Then do one-side kidney resection operation,after fully recover from it,collect the pulse waves again.To average the pulse waves in the same cycle length and then do the LSQ regression by 6 harmonics which are correspond with the cycle lengths,analyze the phase and the amplitude of vibration of fundamental wave and harmonics by statistical method.Results:The amplitude of vibration of the 3rd harmonics of pulse waves of femoral artery in the same side with operation and the amplitude of vibration of the 1st to 5th harmonics of pulse waves of femoral artery in the other side with operation has reinforced, the phase of the 1st and 2nd harmonics also have changed regularly.Conclusion:There're some regular changes in the pulse waves of rats after one-side kidney resection operation,which shows that the pulse waves of artery on the body surface can reflect the splanchnic changes.This research can offer some scientific foundation to the pulse-diagnosis in TCM.

Objective To explore risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in patients undergoing craniocerebral operation,and provide guidance for the prevention of HAI in patients in department of neurosurgery. Methods 200 patients who underwent craniocerebral operation in a department of neurosurgery from November 2013 to November 2014 were surveyed,risk factors for HAI were analyzed.Results Among 200 patients undergo-ing craniocerebral operation,81 patients developed 99 cases of HAI,HAI rate was 40.50%,HAI case rate was 49.50%;the top five HAI sites were lower respiratory tract,urinary tract,intracranial site,bloodstream,and in-testinal tract.Univariate analysis showed that patients’age ≥60,Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS)<15,intraoperative blood loss ≥800 mL,staying in intensive care unit(ICU),indwelling gastric tube,ventricular drainage,using ventilator,tracheotomy,and using H2 receptor antagonists were important risk factors for HAI in patients undergo-ing craniocerebral operation (all P <0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that patients’age ≥60, GCS<15,staying in ICU,and using H2 receptor antagonists were independent risk factors for HAI in patients un-dergoing craniocerebral operation.Conclusion Strengthening the surveillance of HAI patients undergoing cranioce-rebral operation and realizing risk factors for HAI are helpful for taking comprehensive prevention measures and re-ducing the incidence of HAI.

OBJECTIVETo explore the therapeutic effect of grain-sized moxibustion at "Xinshu" (BL 15) and "Shenshu" (BL 23) on early-stage Alzheimer's disease (AD) in transgenosis AD mice.

METHODSThe genotyping of amyloid precursor protein/presenilin 1(APP/PS1I) double-transgenic AD mice were detected by PCR method. Seventeen 1.5-month female transgenic (Tg 6799) mice were randomly divided into a model group (9 cases) and a treatment group (8 cases). Nine female C57BL/6J wild-type mice with identical age and background were selected into a normal group. The treatment group was treated with grain-sized moxibustion at bilateral "Xinshu" (BI. 15) and "Shenshu" (BL 23), once a day, ten treatments were considered as one course, and total 9 courses were given. The model group and normal group were treated with stimulus such as grabbing, immobilization and non-ignited moxa cone. Morris water maze (escape latency, crossing times and dwell time in the target quadrant) was applied to evaluate the learning and memory ability. Hematoxylin-Eosin (HE) staining was used to observe morphology changes in the brains of AD mice. beta-amyloid protein 1-42 (Abeta(1-42)) in the area of prefrontal cortex and hippocampus was detected by immunohistochemical method.

RESULTSAfter the treatment of grain-sized moxibustion, learning and memory ability in the treatment group was increased; compared with the model group, the escape latency was shorten, crossing times was increased, and dwell time in the target quadrant was prolonged (all P<0. 05). The crossing times and dwell time in the target quadrant in the treatment group were not significantly different from those in the normal group (both P>0.05). Compared with the normal group, the positive area and integral optical density of Abeta(1-42) in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the model group were increased (all P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the positive area and integral optical density of Abeta(1-42) in prefrontal cortex and hippocampus in the treatment group were reduced (P<0.01, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe grain-sized moxibustion at "Xinshu" (BL 15) and "Shenshu" (BL 23) could significantly improve the learning and memory ability in APP/PS1 double- transgenic AD mice, and inhibit the over expression and accumulation of Abeta(1-42).

BACKGROUND:Fol ow-up researches have shown that there is no statistical y difference in safety between kidney donor and healthy person after kidney transplantation, even the donors wil have better life quality. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the safety of living-related kidney transplantation in living kidney donors. METHODS:Ninety-four cases of kidney donors received 1-10 years fol ow-up through regular clinical fol ow-up, telephone fol ow-up and regular renal patients self-help groups to compare the changes of serum creatinine, hematuria, proteinuria and blood pressure and lipid level in the donors before and after kidney transplantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The serum creatinine was significantly increased after nephrectomy (P<0.01), but al the donors had normal serum creatinine levels and remained stable. There was no significant difference in serum creatinine level between the latest fol ow-up and discharge (P>0.05). After nephrectomy, three cases (3.2%) suffered from hematuria, two cases (2.1%) had proteinuria, and improved after rest;six cases (6.4%) were subject to hypertension and six cases (6.4%) to hyperlipidemia. Al of the donors were alive. The living donor nephrectomy is feasible and safe. Preoperative assessment and long-term postoperative fol ow-up can guarantee the safety of the donors.

ObjectiveTo verify the efficacy and safety of conversion from cyclosporine (CsA) to tacrolimus (Tac) in renal transplant recipients. MethodsThe clinical data of conversion from CsA to Tac in renal transplant recipients were retrospectively analyzed. In 97 patients undergoing kidney transplantation, there were 62 cases of chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN), 21 cases of refractory renal allograft rejection, 8 cases of hepatic impairment, and 6 cases of gingival overgrowth and hirsutism. The patients were followed up with renal function, hepatic function, blood fat, pressure,glucose,acute rejection incidence, patients/kidney survival rate,and adverse drug reaction for 3 years.ResultsThe renal function of patients with CAN and refractory acute rejection was greatly improved after conversion from CsA to Tac treatment at the first year (P＜0. 05) ,and steady at the 2nd or 3rd year. The conversion treatment could greatly improve the hepatic function of patients with dysfunction of liver, improve the gum hypertrophy and hypertrichosis results from CsA. The 1- and 3-year patients/kidney survival rate after conversion from CsA to Tac was 100 ％/97. 9 ％ and 100 ％/92. 8 ％, respectively. The conversion treatment showed a significantly lower degree of plasma cholesterol, low density lipoprotein, triglyceride, and blood pressure (P ＜ 0.05). Incidence of pathoglycemia, diarrhea or anepithymia,and tremor after conversion treatment was 13.4 ％ (13/97),2. 1％ (2/97) and 5. 2 ％ (5/97),respectively. There were no serious pulmonary infection and tumor during the observation period. ConclusionThe mid-long term effect of conversion from CsA to Tac in patients with kidney transplantation is safe and effective.
