Fluctuations in Tumor Blood Flow under Normotension and the Effect of Angiotensin II-induced Hypertension

To elucidate the significance of angiotensin II (AID-induced hypertension chemotherapy, changes of tissue blood flow both in normal subcutis and in tumors (AH109A, LY80) were measured with the hydrogen gas clearance method. A newly-developed anesthetic machine was used to keep the animals' condition constant. Tissue blood flow in normal subcutis and tumors always fluctuated with time under normotension. The nature and the rate of fluctuation in tumor Wood flow were almost identical in two different types of tumors. However, the fluctuation of blood flow in tumor and that in normal subcutis were almost always inversely related when blood flows in these different tissues were measured simultaneously, i.e., when tissue blood flow in normal subcutis decreased, tumor blood flow increased, and vice versa. The findings supported the idea that the connection mode between the tumor vascular bed and normal vascular bed is a parallel circuit. Vascular resistance in the normal vascular bed under All-induced hypertension seemed to be greater than that under normotension, because the All-increased tumor blood flow always exceeded the maximum tumor blood flow under normotension. Due to the fluctuations of tumor blood flow, no-flow or low-flow areas, resistant to delivery of anti-cancer drugs, moved sporadically within the tumor under the normotensive condition. However, good conditions for drug delivery to tumor tissue were induced by All-induced hypertension.     

Cough and converting enzyme inhibitors

Persisting cough developed in three children treated with converting enzyme inhibitors. The symptoms disappeared within 3–7 days after withdrawing medication. These observations in children complement previous reports in adults and indicate that cough may be induced by treatment with these agents.     

中枢和外周脑钠素(BNP)调节醛固酮分泌的不同作用

将BNP和AT-Ⅱ、ACTH AVP单独或BNP与这3种肽分别合并在大鼠icv或iv注入后观察血Ald浓度的变化。实验结果表明:①iv给予AVP(5μg/3ml·h~(-1))、ACTH(5μg/3ml·h~(-1))和AT-Ⅱ(5 v.g/3 ml·h(-1)),1h后均能增加血Ald的浓度。iv给予BNP(5μg/3ml·h(-1))能明显抑制AVP和ACTH的刺激作用,而不影响AT-Ⅱ的刺激作用。②icv给予BNP(2 Vg/10 pl NS)能降低血Aid浓度。icv给予AVP(2μg/10μl NS)能增加血Aid浓度,但ACTH(2μg/10μl NS)和AT-Ⅱ(2μg/10μl NS)无此种作用。但如脑室同时给予BNP(2μg/10μlNS)却可明显刺激Aid分泌。③icv注入BNP对外周注入的3种多肽的刺激作用无任何影响。从上述的实验结果可看出:脑内BNP可“反常”地增加AT-Ⅱ、ACTH和AVP对Ald分泌的刺激作用,与外周抑制AVP,ACTH的刺激作用不同。而脑内BNP不影响这3种多肽的外周刺激作用。结论是脑内BNP以其独特的方式调节Ald的分泌,控制水盐代谢。     

牛磺酸对高血压和血管活性物质的影响

在原发性高血压(EH)患者、大鼠腹主动脉狭窄和高盐摄入引起高血压模型上,观察到口服牛磺酸治疗4周后均明显降低平均动脉压和收缩压,42.2%的患者血压恢复正常,并能抑制EH患者和高血压大鼠血浆内皮素(ET)、血管紧张素II(AII)水平的升高,增加高血压大鼠血浆降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)和主动脉组织中的牛磺酸含量.以上结果表明,牛磺酸在降压作用同时伴有缩血管物质的降低和舒血管物质的增加,为以牛磺酸作为降血压辅助药物提供了依据.     

心理支持疗法对机械通气患者应激反应的影响

目的 观察心理支持疗法(PST)对ICU患者机械通气应激反应的影响。方法 将34例连续机械通气时间在20h的清醒患者，随机分为采用标准的PST方法进行治疗的观察组和对照组，观察焦虑抑郁程度和应激反应改变情况。结果 对照组患者的焦虑抑郁程度明显高于观察组，部分应激反应激素水平升高幅度也明显大于观察组。结论 PST可通过缓解机械通气患者的焦虑抑郁等不良情绪状态减轻机械通气带来的各种心身应激反应，有利于提高机械通气治疗的有效性和安全性。     

依那普利治疗高血压病的临床观察

本文报告应用新的转换酶抑制剂依那普利(enalapril)治疗59例原发性高血压的临床疗效。采甩随机单盲及双盲法进行,对照药为巯甲丙脯酸。结果表明:依那普利使收缩压及舒张压均降低10％以上(由21.5±1.6/13.8±0.9kPa降至19.2±2.2/12.3±1.0kPa),总有效率为74.2％,与巯甲丙脯酸相仿,但前者作用持续时间显著延长。半数患者的有效剂量为10mg/d,80％在20mg/d以下。本药对血像、肝肾功能、血电解质及糖、脂类代谢未见明显影响。

Acute and chronic losartan administration: effect on angiotensin II content and modulation of [3H]norepinephrine release from rat interscapular brown adipose tissue

Summary To determine if acute or chronic (21 days) losartan (10mg/kg, s.c.) regulates the renin-angiotensin system in interscapular brown adipose tissue, angiotensin II (AII) content and [³H]overflow from slices preloaded with [³H]norepinephrine were examined. Acute or chronic losartan administration had no effect on AII content. AII increased evoked [³H]overflow from slices from control rats. Losartan administration did not alter basal [³H]outflow or evoked [³H]overflow. Acute losartan administration inhibited AII-induced enhancement of evoked [³H]overflow. Tolerance developed to the inhibitory effect of losartan following chronic administration.Supported by a grant from the American Heart Association (Local Kentucky Affiliate) and by a gift from DuPont Merck Pharmaceuticals.

人参二醇组皂甙对精索静脉曲张大鼠的保护作用及其机制

把56只成年Wistar大鼠分为如下3组:①精索静脉曲张组(VG)30只;②精索静脉曲张人参二醇组皂甙组(VPG)8只;③假手术组(SOG)18只。实验结果表明,人参二醇组皂甙可显著提高精索静脉曲张大鼠睾丸ACE活力并降低睾丸LPO含量,但3组动物睾丸的SOD水平无明显差异。作者认为人参二醇组皂甙可能是通过减少LPO产生以提高ACE活力,从而实现对精索静脉曲张大鼠的保护作用。     

卡托普利对血管成形术后再狭窄作用的实验研究

目的探讨卡托普利对血管成形术后再狭窄的干预作用。方法SD雄性大鼠60只,分单损组、干预组和对照组。单损组采用改良导丝法制作大鼠颈动脉再狭窄模型。干预组将卡托普利研磨成粉状,生理盐水稀释配制成5mg/ml溶液,分别于制模前6 d开始按10 mg/(kg.d)剂量经灌胃针给予大鼠至术后各时间点。对侧颈总动脉作为假手术对照组。每组各时间点6只大鼠,于制模后1天、4天、7天、14天及28天原位灌注固定取材。根据HE染色标本情况,选血管形态结构完整的50个标本,进行HE染色,采用病理图像分析系统染色片进行形态计量分析。结果损伤后从第7天起新生内膜厚度和面积逐渐增加,到28天达峰值;与单损组比较,干预组血管壁三层厚度无显著差别,干预组第14、28天新生内膜面积显著减低。狭窄率于血管损伤后逐渐增加,到28天达峰值,与单损组比较,干预组在14天和28天狭窄率明显变小,各时间点内弹力板面积、外弹力板面积及重塑指数两组之间无显著差别。结论卡托普利减小大鼠颈动脉损伤后新生内膜面积及狭窄率,抑制新生内膜形成,但不改变内、外弹力板面积及重塑指数,不影响血管收缩性重塑。
