The effects of naphthylmethyl isoquinoline (NI) and verapamil (Ver) on contractile tension and volume of oxygen consumption were compared on isolated guinea pig left atrips and cat papillary muscles. The results showed that NI and Ver diminished the Ca++-dependent contractile tension and volume of oxygen consumption by electrically driven preparations. Under the influence of increasing doses of NI (10 ~100?mol/L)and Ver(0.72~3.6?mol/L) linear reduction of contractile tension and volume of oxygen consumption were seen. These effects were reversed by increasing the extracellular Ca++ concentration. These results indicate that NI may be an effective calcium-antagonist very similar to Ver.

Aim To establish primary cultured rat hip-pocampal neuron damage model induced by aluminum maltolate and study the effect of intervention for DP2 on primary cultured rat hippocampal neuron treated with aluminum overload. Methods The hippocampus was dissected out from fetal rat ( embryonic 18 d ) . After being cultured for 7 d, the hippocampal neuron was treated with Al( malt) 3 to establish the model of prima-ry cultured rat hippocampal neuron damage and mean-while treated with DP2 agonist DK-PGD2 and DP2 an-tagonist CAY10471, respectively. After treatment for 24 h, the cell viability was measured by MTT and LDH, Ca2+ fluorescence intensity. Neuronal pathomor-phology was observed by HE staining. Results The purity of hippocampal neuron was more than 95%. Compared with the control group, the number of hipp-ocampal neurons was reduced and neurons became chromatic agglutination and karyopyknosis in aluminum overload group. Treatment of aluminum caused a sig-nificant decrease in MTT value ( P<0. 01 ) and an in-crease in the LDH leakage rate (P<0. 01). The Ca2+fluorescence intensity significantly increased ( P <0. 01 ) in aluminum overload group. Compared with that of the aluminum overload group, treatment of DK-PGD2 , a selective DP2 agonist, significantly aggravated the primary cultured rat hippocampal neuron injury caused by aluminum overload accompanied with the significant decrease of MTT value ( P <0. 01 , P <0. 05 ) and an increase of the LDH leakage rate ( P<0. 01), significant increase of Ca2+ fluorescence inten-sity of neuron. Treatment of CAY10471, a selective DP2 antagonist, had opposite effects of DK-PGD2 . Conclusion The activation of DP2 can increase hipp-ocampal neural susceptibility to aluminum overload.

Investigation on the plant origin and Pharmacognosy of Aiye grown in Gansu revealed that 12 species of the Artemisia genus were used either as or adultered with Aiye, instead of the genuine drug. Morphological and histological indentifications were presented to distinguish the faked drug.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of electrochemical therapy (EchT) on hemangiomas of liver.Method 186 cases of hemangiomas of liver with,male 97 and female 89 were selected for the study.The age ranged from 31～55 years old.The electrochemical therapy instrument of model ZAY-B and the electrode made of platinum were used.Suitable manipulating technique and treating quantity of electricity were investigated for the patients.Electrodes were inserted into the tumor through a tracer directly by opening the abdominal cavity.Normal tissue of liver was protected by the spaghetti and the electrodes were connected to EchT device,then the treatment began.The therapeutic voltage was 6～8V,electic current 120～160mA.The quantity of electricity was 100～150 Coulombs per 1.0cm diameter of the tumor.The treatment could be terminated when the tumor became from soft to stiff.Result The therapeutic efficacy was evaluated 6 months after EchT.Through the follow-up of 1～5 years,103 of total 186 cases of hemangiomas of liver completely disappeared(72.5%);31 cases partially relieved (21.8%) and 8 cases were ineffective (5.6%).Conclusion EchT to treat hemangiomas of liver is safe and efficacy,with less traumatic and a quick recovery.It can be served as a new method for treating hemangiomas of liver.

Objective To evaluate the effects of simulated family nursing on the cognitive function and activity of daily living in patients with Alzheimer's disease.Methods Sixty-eight patients with Alzheimer's disease were assigned to routine nursing condition and simulated family nursing condition.The patients were assessed with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL) before intervention,and 3 months and 6 months after intervention.Results Compared with the control group,the patients' cognitive function (t=2.31,P=0.026) and activity of daily living (t=2.59,P=0.012) were improved significantly in the experimental group.Conclusion The simulated family nursing can improve the cognitive function and activity of daily living in patients with Alzheimer's disease.

BACKGROUND:The hyperpoladzation-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated cation channel (HCN) gene is not increase the risk of induced cardiac arrhythmia,and can accept the modulation function of autonomic nervous system.Therefore,it is the first candidate gene for biological pacemakers.OBJECTIVE:To construct recombinant adenovirus vector containing human HCN4 gene and evaluate its transfection efficency in rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The in vitro cytology-gene experiment was performed at the Lin Bai-xin Experimental Center,Second Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from February to September 2008.MATERIALS:Ten SD rats were supplied by the experimental animal center of Sun Yat-sen University.Rlasmid pcDNA3.1-HCN4 containing target gene human HCN4,human embryo kidney 293 cells and Escherichia coll DH5α were preserved by our experimental center;Shuttle plasmid pShuttle-CMV containing green fluorescent protein gene and adenoviral backbone plasmid pAdxsi were bought from SinoGenoMax Co.,Ltd.METHODS:HCN4 cDNA segment was liberated from the cloning vector of pcDNA3.1-HCN4 via Hind Ⅲ+Xba Ⅰ,and subcloned into pShuttle-CMV,which was digested by I-Ceu Ⅰ +I-Sce Ⅰ double enzyme and subcloned into adenoviral plasmid to form recombinant adenovirus plasmid.Recombinant adenovirus plasmid was transfected into 293 cell lines by liposome,and the recombinant adenovirus AdHCN4 was packaged and transfected into rat MSCs.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The identification of recombinant adenovirus plasmid vector,identification of recombinant adenovirus and its titration test;the transfection efficiency of recombinant adenovirus.RESULTS:Cloned sequence about 3.6kbp was obtained by Hind Ⅲ+Xho Ⅰ digestion after HCN4 cDNA segment was cloned into pShuttle-CMV.DNA sequencing results indicated that the clone location was correct.Recombinant adenovirus plasmid was cut into seven fragments while empty vector gained only six fragments after digested by Xho Ⅰ.The recombinant adenovirus was pathogenic to 293 cells after recombinant adenovirus plasmid was packaged in it.HCN4 cDNA (657bp) was amplified by PCR with virus titer of 2.5×10~(11) PFU/mL after transfected 293 cells with supematant.The efficiency of recombinant adenovirus infecting rat MSCs was about 90% when multiplicity of infection was 800.Rat MSCs expressed green fluorescence after transfection.CONCLUSION:The adenovirus vector with human HCN4 cDNA was established successfully,which can effectively transfect rat MSCs.
