Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(01):-
In present study, the injury induced by oxygen free radical in cultured cardiac cells was observed by adding xanthine and xanthine oxidase into the medium The effects of zinc on the injury of cells were also observed, taking the electro physiological changes and threshold concentration of BaCl_2 which induces cell stop beating as index. The results showed that the electric parameters of action potential (the amplitude, overshoot, maximum diastolic potential, threshold, maximum rate of depolarization and duration of action potential ) were decreased in XOD group, compared with the control. The threshold concentration of BaCl_2 was decreased too. However, there were no significant differences between Zn group and control group except the TP value. The electric parameters of action potential was increased notab(?)y in Zn group, compared with XOD group. Furthermore, the threshold concentration of BaCl_2 in Zn group was increased too. It is suggested that Zn possessed the protective effects on cultured cardiac cells from the injury induced by oxygen free radical.

Objective:To evaluate the nasal safety of gastrodin nasal temperature-sensitive in situ gel through the studies on cilia toxicity in toads and mucosal irritation in rats. Methods:The toads were randomly divided into four groups, saline group, gastrodin in situ gel group, blank gel matrix group and sodium deoxycholate group, and the cilia toxicity was observed in vivo by a toad palate meth-od. The rats were randomly divided into three groups, saline group, gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group, and the mucosal irritation was studied in rats through the observation of nasal mucosal pathological changes and behavioral indices. Results:Compared with the saline group, gastrodin in situ and blank gel matrix showed no notable effect on the cilia movement function in toads, and the effect on cilia movement of sodium deoxycholate showed statistically significant difference when compared with that of sa-line, gastrodin in situ gel and blank gel matrix (P<0. 01). During and after the treatment, no sneezing appeared in the rats. Com-pared with that in the saline group, the number of scratching nose in the gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group in-creased (P<0. 05) without difference between the groups (P>0. 05), and after the 2-day withdrawal, that in the gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group decreased significantly when compared with that at the last administration (P<0. 05) and showed no notable difference when compared with that in the saline group (P>0. 05). The number of inflammatory cells in the nasal mucosa in the gastrodin in situ gel group and blank gel matrix group increased complicated with congestion and cilia falling off, and after the with-drawal, the mucosal morphology in the three groups showed no significant difference. Conclusion:The local application of gastrodin in situ gel has high security, which is valuable to be studied further.

Objective To investigate the effect of nifedipine on renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (I/R) in rats and the possible mechanism. Methods Forty-two male SD rats weighing 220-250 g were randomly divided into 3 groups with 14 animals in each group: sham operation group (group S); I/R group and I/R + nifedipine group (group N). The renal ischemia was induced by occlusion of bilateral renal arteries and veins for 45 min followed by reperfusion. In group S the renal arteries and veins were only exposed but not occluded. In group N, nifedipine 0.1 mg/kg was injected via the tail vein 15 min before ischemia and 15 min before reperfusion, while the equal volume of solvent was given in group I/R. The urine was collected to detect the N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminide (NAG) activities at 6 and 24 h of reperfusion. Arterial blood samples were taken at 6 and 24 h reperfusion for determination of concentrations of serum creatinine (Cr), malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO. The rats were then sacrificed and the kidney was removed to detect the apoptotic cells in renal cortex and expression of heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) and endothelin- 1 (ET-1). Results The concentrations of serum Cr and MDA, NAG activity, expression of HSP70 and ET-1 and apoptosis rate were significantly increased in group I/R compared with group S (P <0.05). The concentrations of serum Cr and MDA, NAG activity, ET-1 expression and apoptosis rate were significantly decreased, while the serum NO concentration was significantly increased in group N compared with group I/R (P < 0.05). Conclusion Nifedipine can attenuate renal I/R injury and the underlying mechanism may be related to the inhibition of ET-1 expression.

AIM: To evaluate the effect of cardiac pacing with a His bundle lead on cardiac electrophysiological and haemodynamical action in dogs and the experience of location technique with His bundle pacing lead. METHODS: With opening chest operation in general-anesthetized dogs, a special lead was located at His bundle based on a typical "H" wave and narrow duration of the QRS wave recorded in ECG; Platinum leads were fixed at the epicardium of the right ventricular apex (RVA) respectively, forming HisB- VVI pacing,RVA- VVI pacing. Cardiac electrophysiological and haemodynamical parameters were compared in sinus rhythm and the different pacing models. RESULTS: The threshold of HisB pacing is similar to that of RVA pacing. Cardiac output(CO)is increased about 18.81% in HisB- VVI pacing than self. It is decreased about 5.41% in RVA- VVI pacing. SV is similar to self,but it is 25.59% higher in HisB- VVI than RVA- VVI . LVSW and RVSW in His B- VVI pacing is superior to that in RVA- VVI . CONCLUSION: His bundle pacing significantly improves cardiac function compared with the RVA- VVI pacing because it can maintain normal physiological electronic activation sequence and systolic synchrony and have a better haemodynamics effect.neral-anesthetizeddogs,as

Objective To study the clinical application effect of X-ray computed tomography (DR) and spiral CT in the diagnosis of emergency thoracic and abdominal trauma. Methods A total of 174 patients with emergency thoracic and abdominal trauma admitted in our hospital from November 19, 2016 to November 19, 2017 were enrolled in this study. All patients underwent DR and spiral CT examinations. The pathological diagnosis coincidence rate between the two diagnostic methods and the satisfaction with the diagnostic methods between the two groups was compared. Results In terms of pathological diagnosis, the coincidence rate of spiral CT in subcutaneous emphysema, rib fractures, scapular fractures, clavicle fractures, pulmonary contusion, pleural effusion, pneumothorax, atelectasis, mediastinal emphysema, liver injury, spleen injury, kidney injury, pancreas injury, celiac hemorrhage, mesentery laceration and diaphragmatic injury was 100. 00%. Except for pulmonary contusion, mediastinal emphysema, hematoma and kidney injury and pancreatic injury, the pathological diagnosis coincidence rate of spiral CT in the other chest trauma was higher than that of DR diagnosis, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The patients' satisfaction score of spiral CT diag nosis was significantly higher than that of DR diagnosis(P<0. 05). Conclusion The spiral CT in the diagnosis of emer gency thoracic and abdomen trauma is better, which can improve the clinical diagnosis of coincidence rate, and is worthy of further recommendation.

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of multi-slice spiral CTin patients with emergency chest pain. Methods 81 patients with chest pain admitted in the Department of Emergency in our hospital from October 27, 2016 to October 27, 2017 were investigated. All patients underwent multi-slice spiral CTexamination. The examination results of multi-slice spiral CTexamination were compared with those of conventional coronary angiography. At the same time, the patient's heart rate and satisfaction during different examinations was compared. Results There were 64 patients with coronary artery stenosis, 9 patients with aortic dissection, 8 patients with pulmonary embolism were detected by multi-slice spiral CT, accounting for 79. 01%, 11. 11% and 9. 88% respectively. There were 64 cases of coronary artery stenosis, 10 cases of aortic dissection and 7 cases of pulmonary embolism detected by routine coronary angiography examination, accounting for 79. 01%, 12. 35% and 8. 64%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the results of the two examination methods (P>0. 05). There was no significant difference in the level of heart rate between patients with multi-slice spiral CTand those with conventional coronary angiography(P>0. 05). The patient's satisfaction with multi-slice spiral CTwas 96. 30%, which was significantly higher (P<0. 05). Conclusion For patients with emergency chest pain, the detection of multi-slice spiral CTis similar to that of routine coronary angiography in the cause of the disease, and has little influence on the patient's heart rate, which is an ideal method for clinical diagnosis of chest pain.
