Fifteen min after adding nimodipine 50 ?mol/L, the contractility of the left atrial muscle decreased from 100 % of control to 55.5 +4.2 o/o and its inhibitory effect was equal to the effect of verapamil (25 ?mol/L ) . Nim at the same concentration inhibited strongly the positive staircase phenomenon but could not reverse it into the negative staircase phenomenon as verapamil 25 ?mol/L did. The same concentration of Nim suppressed significantly the post rest contraction. On the contrary, the post rest contraction was not affected by verapamil at 25 ?mol/L. In addition, Nim 50 ?mol/L reversed or prevented significantly the ouabain-induced arrhythmias in isolated left atria. These results suggest that the negative ino-trbpism of Nim may be related not only to the inhibition of Ca2 + influx to the cells and also to the decrease of the intercellular Ca2+ release and that Nim might present the possibility in treating arrhythmias or other heart disease

To study the affection of blood on protein determining in urine, different volumes of blood from healthy volunteers was added to urine samples of varied osmolatites. Specimens were analyzed for protein concentration by the method of 3% sulfosalicylic acid. Microscopic hematuria was not associated proteinuria. In hypertonic urines, the protein of gross hematuria is low (30mg/100ml for the urine with 3% RBC, 32. 4mg/100ml for the urine with 1% blood), while in iso and hypotonic urines gross hematuria produced marked proteinuria (225—1090mg/100ml). Urine protein electrophoreses identified hemoglobin as the responsible protein. The protein concentration in urine may he used to distinguish glomerular hematuria from nonglomerular hematuria.

Objective To investigate the volume of hippocampal formation in normal adult using coronal magnetic resonance imaging. Methods 3D-fSPGR sequence was used to depict the brain in 68 healthy adult. The volume of hippocampus was calculated by drawing the outline of 10 coronal hippocampal formation images acquired equally form posterior border of rostrum corpus callosum to anterior border of the splenium. Data were analysed using the SPSS 17.0 software. Results In the coronal plane images of normal adult brain, the absolute volume of left and right hippocampal formation were 2 319.63-2 610.73 mm3 and 2 447.52-2 749.50 mm3 respectively . The relative volume of left and right hippocampal formation were 2 319 . 87-2 602 . 47 mm 3 and 2 443.96-2 755.89 mm3. There were no correlation between hippocampal volume and age (r = 0.084, P = 0.549. Significant gender differences (t=2.500, P=0.029) were observed between absolute volume of right hippocampal formation in the youth group. There were significant differences in the absolute volume (t = -2.571, P = 0.022), relative volume (t = 2.600, P = 0.021) among the right and left hippocampal formation. Significant absolute volume differences (P = 0.038) were observed between the middle-aged group and the youth group among the hippocampal formation of women. Conclusion No significant differences were observed in age, gender among the hippocampal volume of normal adult, and there was a significant difference between the left and right hippocampal formation volume.

Objective To explore the differential proteins between livers of control and brain dead grups,and to provide an experimental basis for the assessment of liver quality in brain dead rabbits.Methods 60 healthy male New Zealand rabbits were divided into two groups.The brain dead group (n=30) contained rabbits 2 hours (B1),6 hours (B2),and 8 hours(B3) after brain death.The sham group (n=30) contained groups of 2 hours (C1),6 hours (C2),and 8 hours (C3).At the end of the relevant experiments,blood samples and liver tissues were collected.The level of ALT and AST were determined by an automatic biochemistry analyzer and the morphologic changes of the livers were detected by HE staining.The differentially expressed proteins were screened and identified by two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,PDQuest software,matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry,and the NCBI database.Results In 8 hour brain dead group,the level of ALT increased comparing with 6 h (P＜0.05),but there was no significant statistical difference in the other groups.Under real time observation with the light microscope,the livers of the brain dead groups had increased edema and infiltration of lymphocytes in the portal area,especially in the 8 hour group.However,infiltration of neutrophils also appeared in the 8 hour control group and all groups had no damage in the liver cell.There were 10 kinds of differentially expressed proteins through the two-dimensional gel electrophoresis,mass spectrometry analysis,and database query.One protein of interest was ALDH2,which showed a gradually decreasing expression in the liver when the braid dead time increased.Conclusion Brain death could lead to no damage of liver function and little damage to liver morphology.The identified protein ALDH2 may be related with liver injury after brain death and could be a new indicator in the assessment of liver quality in brain dead rabbits.

Objective To explore the way to establish the brain death model for rabbits and pathophysiological changes before and after brain death.Methods 80 healthy male New Zealand rabbits were divided into brain death group (n =60) and sham operation group (n =20),The 60 brain death rabbits were established by increasing intracranial pressure in a modified,slow,and intermittent way.The sham operation rabbits were only maintained with anesthesia.Results The 56 brain death rabbits were established successfully and maintained for 10 h with the respiration and circulation supports.2 rabbits died due to anesthetic accident,the other 2 died because of improper pressure.The surgical success rate is 93.3％ (56/60).The changes of mean artery pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in brain death group were more significant than in sham operation group:MAP and HR fluctuated and showed the increased tendency.The mean MAP and HR during increasing intracranial pressure were (400.24±18.36) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa) and (258.00 ± 25.70) beats/min respectively,which was significantly higher than before and after increasing intracranial pressure (P＜0.05).Conclusions The brain death model for rabbits could be established by increasing intracranial pressure in a modified,slow,and intermittent way successfully and maintained 10 h.the MAP and HR before and after brain death showed characteristic changes.The model is helpful to the further observation of organ changes in brain dead state.

Objective To investigate the the clinical effect and immune regulatory mechanism of red-blue light combined with Niuhuang Shangqing capsules for the moderate-severe acne.Methods A total of 180 patients with moderate to severe acne treated in People's Hospital of Nanhai District in Foshan City from June 2014 to June 2016 were randomly divided into 2 groups with each group 90 patients. The control group was treated with red and blue light, and observation group was treated with the combination of red and blue light andNiuhuang-Shangqingcapsules. The levels of SP(Substance P), IL-1 and IL-6 in peripheral blood were observed and analyzed. The recurrence rates and adverse events were observed.Results After treatment, the SP (657.4 ± 36.6 pg/mlvs.799.9 ± 60.2 pg/ml,t=19.188), IL-1(61.8 ± 24.7pg/L vs.92.1 ± 23.5 pg/L,t=8.431), IL-6 (38.7 ± 10.3pg/mlvs.66.7 ± 14.1pg/ml, t=12.421) of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group (allPs<0.01). The total effect rate of the observation group were 91.11% (82/90), which were significantly higher than 70.00% (63/90) of control group (χ2=12.804,P<0.01). Conclusions The Red-blue light combined withNiuhuang-Shangqing capsules for treating moderate-severe acne, has significant effect and can reduce the serum levels of SP, IL-1 and IL-6, with fewer adverse events and lower recurrence rates. They can be used as a safe and effective treatment of acne.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of photodynamic therapy with red and blue light in the treatment of facial acne. Methods Ninety-two cases of facial acne in dermatology outpatient hospital were randomly divided into the test group and the control group, with 46 cases in each group. Patients in the test group received the photodynamic therapy, and patients in the control group received red plus blue light treatment for eight weeks, respectively. Results Before treatment, patients in the test group and the control group had no significant differences in acne, papules, pustules, nodules, cysts and gags score. After 8-week treatment, the comedones, papules, pustules, nodules cyst number, gags score of patients in the test group were significantly less than or lower than those of patients in the control group (P < 0.05, respectively). The healing rate was 84.78% in the test group, which was higher than that of 65.22%in the control group of (P<0.05). The total efficiency was 97.83%in the test group and 93.48% in the control group, with no significant difference. The adverse reaction rate was 10.87% in the test group and was 23.91% in the control group, with no significant difference. Conclusion The effect of photodynamic therapy for facial acne is better than red plus blue light treatment ,with a less incidence of adverse reactions.

Objective To investigate the surgical treatment and clinical outcome of patients with intracranial posterior circulation poor-grade aneurysms. Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with intracranial posterior circulation poor-grade aneurysms were collected. Seventeen patients were World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies (WFNS) grade IV and 18 patients were WFNS grade V. Twenty- nine patients were definitively treated with open microsurgery treatment(2 patients) and endovascular treatment (27 patients). Six patients received conservative treatment, including 4 patients only receiving external ventricular drainage to decrease intracranial pressure and 2 patients only receiving medical treatment. The nerve function were evaluated by Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) at discharge from hospital and 1 and 12 months after operation. Results In the patients who received conservative treatment, 5 patients were dead in hospital, and 1 patient got good outcome after 12 months. In the patients who received surgical treatment, at discharge from hospital good outcome were achieved in 15 patients (51.7%), poor outcome in 9 patients (31.0%), and death happened in 5 patients (17.2%). At 1 month after operation, good outcomes were achieved in 14 patients (48.3%), poor outcome in 9 patients (31.0%), and death happened in 6 patients (20.7%). At 12 months after operation, good outcome were achieved in 18 patients (62.1%), poor outcome in 5 patients (17.2%), and death happened in 6 patients (20.7%). Conclusions Patients with posterior circulation poor-grade aneurysms have better prognosis after positive surgical treatment.
