Effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza on the left ventricular diastolic function in coronary artery stenosis

In 24 open-chest mongrel dogs, coronary artery critical stenosis were produced by a micrometer constriction on left circumflex coronary artery. It was reduction about 87% in lumen area. CBF, -Vce, -dp/dt max were decreased, T was increased (P less than 0.01). 15 minutes after stenosis, the Salvia miltiorrhiza injection was injected into left atrium. CBF, -dp/dt max, -Vce were increased and T was decreased after the injection of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Moreover, the change of CBF was the earliest. The results proved that the Salvia miltiorrhiza could improve the left ventricular diastolic function in coronary artery stenosis.     

Inhibition of host-versus-graft and graft-versus-host responses after small bowel transplantation in rats by rapamycin.

The effect of rapamycin (RAPA) on both host-versus-graft (HVG) and graft-versus-host (GVH) immune responses was examined in small bowel transplant models using strongly histoincompatible donor-recipient combinations. Normal Wistar Furth (WFu; RT-1u) recipients rejected Buffalo (BUF; RT-1b) small bowel allografts within a mean survival time (MST) of 10.5 +/- 0.5 days. Administration of RAPA (0.8 mg/kg) by continuous intravenous infusion for 14 days via an osmotic pump prolonged graft survival to 25.0 +/- 4.6 days (P = 0.01). In a second strain combination, the 12.5 +/- 2.2 day survival of Brown Norway (BN; RT-1n) small bowel allografts in Lewis (RT-1l) recipients was prolonged to 21.6 +/- 2.0 and 28.5 +/- 2.8 days by 14 days of i.v. RAPA at doses of 0.8 and 1.6 mg/kg, respectively. In this model RAPA is five times more effective than cyclosporine, which at 4.0 mg/kg prolongs BN small bowel allografts in Lewis recipients to 21.6 +/- 6.3. To isolate HVG and GVH immune responses, (BN x Lewis)F1 hybrid rats served as the graft donor or host, respectively. In the HVG model, (BN x Lewis)F1 small bowel allografts, which were rejected by normal Lewis recipients at 12.2 +/- 3.6 days, were prolonged to 40.8 +/- 5.8 days (P = 0.001) by RAPA (0.8 mg/kg x 14 days). In the GVH model, the ability of Lewis small bowel allografts to produce severe GVH disease in untreated (BN x Lewis)F1 recipients at 12.3 +/- 2.8 days was delayed to 21.3 +/- 5.2 days by 0.8 mg/kg RAPA (P = 0.025). Thus, RAPA protects small bowel allografts more effectively against HVG than GVH immune responses.     

乙型肝炎甲胎蛋白检测与重型肝炎预后指数评估的意义

给慢性活动肝炎患者输注人胎肝细胞悬液引起血清甲胎蛋白增高反应的初浓度为２０２±３８．３μｇ／Ｌ，其半衰期为１．７天；分布池为６．９一１０．２升。重型肝炎生存组血清甲胎蛋白显著高于死亡组，生存组甲胎蛋白与血清总胆红素呈非常显著相关，而死亡组两者无相关性。重型肝炎患者输注胎肝悬液后其血清甲胎蛋白进一步升高者，预后较好。取重型肝炎预后指数０．１为重型肝炎生死的截断点，判断预后的灵敏度、特异度、准确度和阳性预告值分别为７９．５％、８９．６％、８４．８％和８７．５％。重型肝炎预后指数的计算可作为判断预后与新疗法疗效的指标。     

Relationship among dosages of aminophylline, plasma levels of theophylline and variation of pulmonary arterial pressure]

The relationship among the dosages of aminophylline, plasma levels of theophylline and variations of mean pulmonary arterial pressure (mPAP) in 72 patients with COPD was investigated. The results showed that after a different loading dosage of aminophylline (6 mg/kg, 5 mg/kg and 4 mg/kg) was administered by intravenous injection, mPAP in the 6 mg/kg group was decreased more significantly (P less than 0.01) than that in the 4 mg/kg group. In the 6 mg/kg group, the decreased mPAP period sustained for 120 min, which was longer than that in the other 2 groups. The plasma levels of theophylline in the 6 mg/kg group of patients 30 to 120 min after loading dose injected were 115.54-79.04 mumol/L, which were higher than that in the others. Within the 120 min period of observation after the drug was administered no patients in any of these groups showed severe untoward effects. According to the results of this experiment, we suggest that the 6 mg/kg as a loading dose should be advised for the treatment of pulmonary hypertension in COPD. The optimum time to give the maintenance dosage should be set within 2 h after the loading dose. It is necessary to monitor the plasma levels of theophylline while aminophylline is administered, so that optimal therapeutic effects could be achieved without side effects.

不同饮水类型的若干癌症发病率研究

应用回顾前瞻性方法，在海宁市随机选择了８个乡（镇）作为研究区。１９７７至１９８８年间，研究区共有癌症病例１９８８人。研究结果示，饮用池塘水的肝、肺、胃、食道及结直肠的癌症平均发病率男女均为最高；而饮用井水的上述５种癌症的平均发病率最低。在各饮水类型问对各种癌症的平均发病率作了Ｐｏｉｓｓｏｎ检验，结果差异有统计学意义。将饮用井水作为非暴露，作相对危险度分析。表明饮用河水的ＲＲ值高达７．７９～１４．２５；饮用池塘水的ＲＲ则更高（２．５５～３６．９９）。本文揭示了不同饮水类型癌症发病率的差异及其联系。

Malignant melanoma metastatic to the stomach: upper G-I endoscopic finding--report of a case

a 54-year-old male was presented with huge, black, ulcerative and painless tumor of the sole of left foot. Malignant melanoma was proved by biopsy, but patient refused any treatment. He visited our hospital again when bloody vomitus was noted two months later. Chest P-A revealed multiple lung metastases, and marked liver metastasis was also found by abdominal echo. Upper gastrointestinal (UGI) panendoscopy revealed multiple melanotic nodules with ulcerations at the tip, scattering diffusely on the fundus and upper body of the stomach. Metastatic malignant melanoma was proved by endoscopic biopsy. Metastatic tumor of the stomach was rare, and the endoscopic finding of the malignant melanoma with gastric metastasis was more rarer in the literature in Taiwan. So we would like to present the very rare finding of the endoscopy.
