AIM To study the calcium antagonistic effects of Magnesium salicylate in central nervous system. MTEHODS Using calcium sensitive fluorescence indicator Fura-2 technique. RESULTS Resting [Ca 2+ ] i in brain cells under different extracellular calcium concentration(0,0 01,0 1,1 0,1 3 mmol?L -1 )were 41?5,59?6,84 7?2 5,104?7,(126?5)nmol?L -1 respectively( n =8~47).MgS 0 2 mmol?L -1 had no significant effects on resting [Ca 2+ ] i.At the same time, MgS (0 05~0 4 mmol?L -1 ) concentration dependently inhibited the [Ca 2+ ] i elevation induced by high extracellular potassium or L -glutamate in the presence of extracellular [Ca 2+ ] i 1 3 mmol?L -1 . The IC 50 values were 0 323 mmol?L -1 (95% CI 0 122~0 854 mmol?L -1 ) and 0 124 mmol?L -1 (95% CI 0 073~0 210 mmol?L -1 ) separately. CONCLUSION MgS possesses inhibitory effects on voltage-activated calcium channel and receptor-operated calcium chanel in CNS.

AIM To investigate the effects of taurine(TAU) and propafenone(PRO) combination on experimental arrhythmias and its influence on haemodynamics of anesthesized rats' heart. METHODS Rats were pretreated respectively with intravenous administration of saline, TAU, PRO, or TAU and PRO combination. Afterwards, the rats were intravenously administrated with BaCl 2 or aconitine to induce arrhythmia. The arrhythmia lasting time and incidence were observed and recorded on the lead Ⅱ ECG. The cumulative aconitine dosage to induce premature ventricular contraction(PVC), ventricular tachycardia(VT) and ventricular fibrillation(VF) were calculated respectively. The haemodynamic parameters such as LVSP, HR, +d p /d t max were recorded continuously in anesthetized rats pretreated with iv TAU, PRO or TAU and PRO combination. RESULT In BaCl 2 arrhythmia, the arrhythmia duration was shortened significantly; and the arrhythmia incidence was decreased in the combination group, as compared with the single same dosage drug groups. In aconitine arrhythmia, the cumulative aconitine dosages to induce PVC, VT and VF were increased significantly in the combination group. Haemodynamics parameters showed that PRO(2mg?kg -1 iv) significantly decreased LVSP and +LVd p /d t max , while these parameters were not significantly changed in the combination group with same dose of PRO. CONCLUSION TAU and PRO have synergism in antiarrhythmia in both BaCl 2 and aconitine induced arrhythmia; TAU may alleviate cardiac depression exerted by PRO.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational drug use in pediatric department. METHODS:The utilization of pe-diatric prescription drugs in inpatient department of our hospital during 2008 to 2014 was analyzed in respects of number,consump-tion sum,DDDs,etc. RESULTS:The consumption sum of antimicrobial drugs increased from 657 000 yuan in 2008 to 1 453 000 yuan in 2014. The consumption sum of creatine phosphate sodium increased from 384 000 yuan in 2012 to 889 000 yuan in 2014. The consumption sum of Lysine hydrochloride and sodium chloride injection entered the top 5 in 2014,reaching 205 000 yuan. The consumption sum of essential medicines changed greatly due to varieties. Top 5 antimicrobial drugs in the list of DDDs mainly wereβ-lactam,showing a descreasing trend on the whole. CONCLUSIONS:There are some problems in use of part drugs. It is need to strengthen propaganda and intervention of rational drug use.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling plus acupoint sticking therapy for primary dysmenorrhea.
Methods:A total of 60 eligible cases were randomly allocated into a treatment group (n=30) and a control group (n=30) according to their sequence of consultation. Patients in the treatment group were treated with warm needling combined with acupoint sticking therapy, whereas patients in the control group were treated with oral Ibuprofen (Fenbid) capsules. After two menstrual cycles, the visual analogue scale (VAS) score, COX menstrual symptom scale (CMSS) and clinical efficacy were compared between the two groups.
Results:After treatment, the VAS and CMSS scores were significantly reduced in both groups, indicating that both treatment protocols can remarkably alleviate pain. There was a between-group statistical difference in comparing the CMSS score (P<0.05), but no between-group statistical difference in the VAS score (P>0.05). However, the follow-up visit showed between-group statistical differences in comparing VOA and CMSS scores (bothP<0.01). The clinical effect, relapse rate and long-term efficacy in the treatment group were better than those in the control group.
Conclusion:Warm needling plus acupoint sticking therapy is a simple but effective therapy for primary dysmenorrhea. In addition, it causes fewer cases with relapse.

AIM: To investigate the effects of the sera from the rats after limb ischemic preconditioning (LIPC) on human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) injured by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2).METHODS:The HUVECs were divided into 5 groups:the cells in control group were cultured without any intervention;the cells in model group (M) were damaged by 1 mmol/L H2O2 for 2 h;the cells in early preconditioning serum (EPS) group, delayed pre-conditioning serum (DPS) group or sham limb ischemic preconditioning serum (SPS) group were treated with the corre-sponding serum at 5%for 12 h, respectively , and then treaed with H 2 O2 for 2 h.The viability of the HUVECs was ana-lyzed by flow cytometry .The lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) in the culture media was detected .The cell adhesion molecules in the HUVECs were detected by real-time PCR.The mRNA and protein expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) was also determined .RESULTS:The viability of HUVECs incubated with 1 mmol/L H2 O2 for 2 h significantly decreased compared with the control cells , which was accompanied with the augmentations of LDH in the medium and the cell adhesion mole -cules in cells , such as vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 ( VCAM-1 ) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 ( ICAM-1 ) . Preincubation with EPS and DPS derived from the rats subjected LIPC attenuated these injuries .Furthermore, pretreatment with EPS and DPS increased the expression of HO-1 at mRNA and protein levels .CONCLUSION:LIPC protects the HU-VECs from H2O2-induced injury.

Aim To observe the effects of pituitrin ad- ministrated intravenously on electrocardiogram (ECG), and the effects of taurine on the ECG changes induced by pituitrin in conscious unrestrained rats. Methods ECG(leadⅡ)was recorded telemetrically and analyzed with Data Science International (DSI, USA); the changes of the ECG T wave and the heart rate at different times after the intravenous(iv) injection of pituitrin with or without intraperitoneal (ip) pre-administration of taurine were observed and calculated. Results ① Pituitrin 0.25~4.0 U?kg -1 dose-dependently elevated the ECG T wave; the T wave values were increased 0.75~3.42 times over the values before pituitrin, and the maximal effect appeared at 15 s after the injection. ② TAU 100, 200 or 400 mg?kg -1,injected intraperitoneally 30 min before the pituitrin, inhibited the T wave elevation and heart rate decrease induced by intravenous injection of pituitrin; compared with NS+pituitrin group, T wave elevation(mV) was decreased from 1.77?0.165 to 1.60?0.13(P

Objective:To evaluate the safety of the combination of cefotiam sodium and furosemide and to provide the reference for clinical medication. Methods:Three groups were established, including the blank control group, cefotiam sodium group at the dosage of 500 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 , cefotiam sodium combined with furosemide group at the respective dosage of 500 mg·kg-1 ·d-1 and 15 mg ·kg-1 ·d-1 . After the continuous administration for 12 days, the renal structure, serum uric acid, creatinine and urea nitrogen, u-rine of α1 microglobulin and β2 microglobulin in the rats were detected. Results:Cefotiam sodium at the dosage of 500 mg·kg-1 · d-1 showed no significant effects on the renal structure, serum uric acid, creatinine and urea nitrogen,urineα1 microglobulin andβ2 microglobulin in the rats. The combination group showed significantly increased urine β2 microglobulin (P<0. 05) and significantly decreased serum uric acid (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Short time use of cefotiam sodium exhibits no significant effect on the renal struc-ture and function in rats, while the combination of cefotiam sodium and furosemide has significant effects on urineβ2 microglobulin and serum uric acid in rats.
