    2011, 39 (5):  454-457 . 
    Abstract ( 1488 )   PDF (2090KB) ( 2265 )  
    OBJECTIVE: To observe the protective effects on endothelium- dependent relaxation (EDR) damage induced by nicotine in the isolated rat mesenteric arteries. METHODS: An organ culture system and artery ring tension recording method were used. The mesenteric artery rings (1mm) of adult Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured with different concentration of valsartan (0.1, 1, 10μmol?L-1) for 24 hours in presence or absence of nitric oxide synthase inhibitor Nω-nitro-L-arginine(L-NAME) and prostacyclin synthase inhibitor indomethacin. The cultured-artery rings were precontracted with noradrenalin (NE, 1μmol?L-1) and subsequently relaxed by a commulative addition of ACh (10-9-10-6mol?L-1). RESULTS: Valsartan attenuated the inhibition induced by nicotine in concentration-dependent manner. There was no significant difference between valsartan (0.1μmol?L-1) group and nicotine group (P>0.05). But the EDR of the middle, high concentration (1, 10μmol?L-1) groups were significantly potentiated compared to the arteries cultured only with nicotine (P<0.01). Furthermore, the protetive effect of valsartan was blocked by L-NAME and indomethacin. CONCLUSION: Valsartan prevents the vascular endothelium-dependent relaxation against elcited-nicotine injury with a mechanism related to the activation of nitric oxide and prostacyclin.

Methods:Fifty-four SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: Control group (group A), severe acute pancreatitis group (group B) and treatment group with Sivelestat (group C). Each group was divided into 3h, 6h and 12h subgroups (n=6 in each subgroup). SAP was induced by retrograde injection of 3.5% sodium taurocholate into biliopancreatic duct. The level of serum IL-6, NE and ALT were measured. The levels of SOD, MDA ,MPOin hepatic tissue bomogenate were measured. Part of hepatic and pancreatic tissue were changed by HE staining. Results: ①In the SAP group serum levels of IL-6, NE, AMY, ALT increased significantly(P<0.05)and the pancreas and liver showed obvious pathologic changes. ②In the SAP group, the level of liver tissue bomogenate MDA and MPO increased significantly, and SOD significantly reduced. ③The treatment with Sivelestat, the levels of IL-6, NE, ALT, MDA and MPO decreased significantly and that of SOD increased, the liver and pancreatic pathologic damages score improved. Conclusion: The treatment with Sivelestat, a elastase inhibitor, could markedly atteneuate hepatic injury in SAP by effectively enhance the oxygen free radical scavenging capacity and inhibit neutrophil elastase and inflammatory reaction.

    Anticonvulsant action of propofol against convulsion induced by long-acting amide local anesthetics in rats
    2011, 39 (5):  461-463 . 
    Abstract ( 1578 )   PDF (2103KB) ( 2108 )  
    Abstract Objective: To compare the effect of propofol on the convulsion induced by levobupivacaine, ropivacaine and bupivacaine. Methods: Sixty-four male Wistar rats were randomly divided into Control group (group C), Levobupivacaine group (group L), Ropivacaine group (group R), Bupivacaine group (group B). Each group was divided into two sub-groups (n=8): experimental group (EG) and propofol treatment group (PG). Group EG of Group L, group R and group B were infused with 0.75% levobupivacaine, 0.75%ropivacain or 0.75% bupivacaine at a same rate of 2mg?kg-1? min-1 respectively. Normal saline was infused in Group EG of Group C, propofol was infused in Group PG. Two hours after convulsion developed, the expression of c-fos, the concentration of NO and NOS activity were measured. Results:Convulsion appeared in every group except group C. The emergency time of convulsion was 10.63±4.809min, 12.63±7.836min and 7.75±3.919min in sub-group EG of group L, R and B respectively. Rats which developed convulsion could quickly be suppressed mostly within 15 seconds in group PG after rats were given an i.v. bolous of propofol, From the overall performance and the duration of convulsion, there were not significantly differences of propofol against convulsion among group PG .Compared with group C, the expression of c-fos, the concentration of NO and the activity of NOS in hippocampus was significantly higher in group EG of group L, group R and groupB (P<0.05). Compared with group EG, the expression of c-fos, the concentration of NO and the activity of NOS in hippocampus was significantly higher in group EG group L, group R and groupB (P<0.05). The K-value of the expression of c-fos, the concentration of NO and the activity of NOS in group L and group R was less than group B(P<0.05), and whereas the K-value of group L was not much bigger than that in group B(P>0.05). Conclusions: Propofol may inhibit the convulsion induced by levobupivacaine, ropivacaine and bupivacaine to a certain degree. From the change of the expression of c-fos, the concentration of NO and the activity of NOS, propofol may more effective to inhibit convulsion induced by bupivacaine than levobupivacaine and ropivacaine.

    Treatment of Acute Abdominal Arota Saddle Embolism
    2011, 39 (5):  464-466 . 
    Abstract ( 1681 )   PDF (1374KB) ( 2265 )  
    Objective To summarize our experience in diagnosis and treatments of abdominal aorta saddle embolism (ASE). Method we analysised the clinical datas of the 19 patients and explored the Fogarty catheter thrombolectomy and the perioprative treatments. Results Ten patients were completely cured and two patients received amputations of one limb. Six patients died in the postoperative stage, of two died of sudden cardiac asystole; two died of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS); one died of acute heart failure; and one died of hernia secondary from sever infarction. Conclusion The key points for reducing mortality and amputative rate of ASE are the sufficient evaluation of preoperative, early thrombolectomy and accurate curing of postoperative.

    Abstract ( 1356 )   PDF (1377KB) ( 1971 )  
    Abstract:Objective observe influence of atrial fibrillation on serum BNP levels of patients whit chronic heart failure. Method 120consecutive patients with signs and symptoms of heart failure who were referred to the heart failure at the between Jan 2009 and Mar 2010 were included on the study. atrial fibrillation group(52) and(68) were divided according to ECG,All subject were divided three groups according to New York Heart Association(NYHA). The plasma concentration of BNP was determined with ELISA assay.Results Plasma concentration of BNP in AF was significantly higher than that in si?nus rhythm group with the same heart fuction.Conclusion Atrial fibrillation is an independent determinant of increased BNP levels. This asso?ciation should be taken into account when BNP levels are used in the diagnosis of heart failure in pa?tients with atrial fibrillation.

    Analysia of coronary lesion of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in primary hypertensive patients
    2011, 39 (5):  468-469 . 
    Abstract ( 1481 )   PDF (1385KB) ( 2007 )  
    Abstract Objective: To study the coronary lesion of Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in primary hypertensive patients. Methods: Five hundred and fifty-three patients with primary hypertensive patients were divided into the left ventricular hypertrophy group(LVH), the non- left ventricular hypertrophy group(N-LVH). They were undergone diagnostic coronary angiography. The risk factors included type2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking, etc. Uric acid, Sugar, TC, TG, HDL, LDL were measured. The comparison and analyses was done between the LVH group and the N-LVH group. Results: The hypertensive time and the hypertensive degree of the LVH group are longer and higher than those of the N-LVH group(P<0.01). The occurent rate of coronary stenosis in the LVH group is higher than that of N-LVH group. The ratio of the double-branch group and the three-branch group of LVH group is higher than that of N-LVH group, the ratio of the single-branch group is on the contrary(P<0.01). The prevalence of type2 diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking is similar between them. Conclusion: The occurrent rate of coronary heart disease and the degree of coronary stenosis in the hypertensive patients with LVH are higher and more complicated.

    The change of cyclooxygenase-2 expression in gastric antral mucosa before and after eradication of Helicobacter pylori
    2011, 39 (5):  470-471 . 
    Abstract ( 1439 )   PDF (1400KB) ( 1901 )  
    Abstract Aim To discuss the expression of COX-2 in the antral mucosa of pations before and after eradication of Hp infection. And the relation of this expression with chronic infectionMethod Tissues were obtained from chronic gastritis patients with Hp infection and subsequent eradication were studied. Three biopsies of antral mucosa were evaluated before and after Hp eradication. Immumohistochemical staining for COX一2 was expressed as a percentage of the total number of cells and correlated with the degree of chronic inflammation. Result C0X -2 expression could be detected before and after eradication of Hp.The expression of COX-2 was significantly higher in Hp infected mucosa compared with that Hp has been successfully eradicated(P<0.005).The positive immunostaining of COX-2 correlated closely with the chronic inflammation score(r=0.59,P<0.05). Conclusion The overexpression of COX-2 may be one of the crucial mechanisms of Hp induced gastritis.
