AIM:To study the effect of caffeine on the large conductance calcium activated potassium (KCa) channels by patch-clamp technique on smooth muscle cells enzymatically isolated from the porcine coronary artery (PCASMC),and to investigate the effect of ryanodine on KCa being activated by caffeine.METHODS:Using the single channel patch-clamp technique,single PCASMC was isolated by collagenase,the activity of single KCa channel was recorded in porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells.RESULTS:Caffeine (0.1-10 mmol/L) enhanced the open probability (Po) of KCa channels in a dose-dependent manner in the intracellular side of inside-out patches and its effect was almost completely abolished by washout. Caffeine decreased the mean close time markedly,but had no effect on the amplitude of KCa channels. However,ryanodine (10-40 ?mol/L) decreased Po of KCa channels activated by caffeine in a dose-dependent manner in cell-attached patches. The mean open time also decreased.CONCLUSION:Caffeine directly activates KCa channels of porcine coronary artery smooth muscle cells in inside-out patches,the activity of single KCa channel is inhibited by ryanodine indirectly in cell-attached patches.

AIM:To compare the efficacy and safety of intravitreal ranibizumab to those of triamcinolone acetonide ( TA ) injection for the treatment of macular edema secondary to central retinal vein occlusion ( CRVO) .
METHODS:This retrospective study included 40 eyes of 40 patients with macular edema associated with CRVO. Twenty patients 20 eyes were treated with intravitreal injection of triamcinolone acetonide (1mg, 0. 1mL), the other 20 patients 20 eyes accepted intravitreal ranibizumab (0. 5mg, 0. 05mL). The change of best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , central macular thickness ( CMT ) , and intraocular pressure ( IOP ) before treatment and at 1, 2wk, 1, 2,3,6mo post-injection in the two groups were observed.
RESULTS:BCVA was improved at 1, 2wk, 1, 2,3,6mo post-injection in the TA group (P<0.05) and ranibizumab group ( P<0. 05 ). No significant difference was found between the two groups ( P > 0. 05 ). CMT decreased significantly within each group ( P < 0. 05 ), and no significant difference between groups was found ( P >0.05). In the TA group, the IOP was significantly higher at 2wk and 4wk than before treatment (P<0. 05). In the ranibizumab group, no elevated IOP was observed at 1, 2wk, 1, 2,3,6mo (P>0. 05). However, the IOP at 1mo was significantly higher in the TA group than that in the ranibizumb group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION:Intravitreal ranibizumab is an effective and safe treatment method for macular edema secondary to CRVO. It can effectively improve BCVA and reduce CMT without ocular and systemic complications compared with intravitreal TA.

Objective To investigate the effects of ischemic postconditioning on apoptosis, structural and functional changes of mitochondria induced by myocardial isehemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of rabbits and potential mechanism. Methods Eighty healthy rabbits were divided randomly into five groups: sham operation group ( Group Sham) , ischemic reperfusion group (Group IR) , ischemic preconditioning group (Group IP) , ischemic postconditioning group (Group PC) and 5-HD plus ischemic postconditioning group (Group PC +5-HD). All rabbits in the five groups were killed 4 h after reperfusion. The hearts were quickly collected for microscopy by TUNEL. We observed ultrastructural changes of myocardium under electron microscope and examined mitochondrial membrane potential and Ca~(2+) concentration, MDA content and SOD activity of myocardial mitochondria. Results Compared with group IR, the damage of mitoehondrial ultrastrueture was milder, the apoptosis rate decreased and Ca concentration and MDA content were much lower in group IP and group PC ( P < 0. 05 ). Mitochondrial membrane potential and SOD activity of myocardial mitochondria in group IP and group PC was significantly higher than that in group IR(P<0.05). The protective effect of PC against I/R injury was partially counteracted by 5-HD .Conclusion Ischemic posteonditioning can protect the heart from I/R injury, this is supported by improvement mitochondrial ultrastructure and by decreasing apoptosis, increasing mitochondrial membrane potential and SOD activity, alleviating Ca~(2+) overload and decreasing MDA content in myocardial mitochondria. The cardio protective effects may be explained by mitochondrial ATP sensitive potassium channel.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the impact of hemocoagulase on coagulatory function and deep venous thrombosis after abdominal surgery.
METHODSFrom June 2008 to January 2009, 60 cases (gastric cancer 20 cases, colonic cancer 40 cases) undergoing gastrointestinal surgery at the Union Hospital of Fujian Medical University were randomized to the hemocoagulase group and the control group(n=30 in each group). Intravenous hemocoagulase at a daily dose of 2U was used on the same day and the next day postoperatively in the hemocoagulase group. D-dimer(D-D), tissue plasminogen activator(t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1), PT, APTT, TT, platelet count were measured before and after operation. Doppler ultrasound examination was carried out to exclude deep venous thrombosis on the 5th to 7th days after operation.
RESULTSSignificant increased D-D, t-PA, PAI-1, prolonged PT, APTT, shortened TT and lower platelet count after surgery were noticed as compared to the baseline in both groups(P<0.05, P<0.01). PT, APTT, D-D, t-PA, and PAI-1 significantly increased, and TT significantly shortened in the hemocoagulase group as compared to the control group after surgery(P<0.05, P<0.01). Deep venous thrombosis in the left lower limbs was noticed in 7 patients(23.3%) in the hemocoagulase group and 3 cases(10.0%) in the control group, however the difference was not statistically significant(P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONSHypercoagulable state usually appears after abdominal surgery and use of hemocoagulase may aggravate hypercoagulability and increase the incidence of deep venous thrombosis in lower limbs after abdominal surgery. Preventative use of hemocoagulase must be administered with caution.
