LONG-TERM OUABAIN ADMINISTRATION DOES NOT ALTER BLOOD PRESSURE IN CONSCIOUS SPRAGUE-DAWLEY RATS

1. We tested the ability of ouabain to cause chronic hyper tension by continuously infusing ouabain for 28 days (mini-osmotic pump implantation; i.p.). The blood pressure and metabolic effects of sham (150 mmol/L NaCI; n= 12) or ouabain infusion (10 μg/kg per day; n= 14; 100 μg/kg per day; n = 14) were examined in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats. 2. Plasma ouabain concentrations measured after 28 days of ouabain infusion were as follows: sham, not detectable (n= 11); ouabain 10 μg/kg per day, 0.60 ± 0.07 nmol/L (n= 14); and ouabain 100 μg/kg per day, 7.17 ± 0.57 nmol/L (n= 14; P < 0.001). 3. Sham or ouabain infusion did not alter food intake, bodyweight, water intake or urine output in conscious rats. 4. Blood pressure was not altered by sham treatment. Ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day or 100 μg/kg per day did not produce consistent rises in blood pressure. Ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day increased blood pressure on treatment day 12 only (+ 6mmHg; P < 0.05), while at 100μg/kg per day blood pres sure increased on treatment days 16 (+ 9 mmHg; P < 0.05) and day 18 (+ 8mmHg; P < 0.05) only. There was no significant difference in blood pressure between sham and ouabain groups. 5. Renal blood flow was decreased in rats infused with ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day (2.0 ± 0.3 mL/min per 100 g body-weight; n= 5; P < 0.01) and 100 μg/kg per day (2.2 ± 0.4 mL/ min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 7; P < 0.05) compared with sham treatment (3.5 ± 0.2 mL/min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 6). Renal vascular resistance was increased in rats treated with ouabain at 10 μg/kg per day (65.5 ± 12.6 mmHg/mL per min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 5; P < 0.01) and 100 μg/kg per day (66.0 ± 15.6 mmHg/mL per min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 7; P < 0.05) compared with sham treatment (32.6 ± 2.5 mmHg/mL per min per 100 g bodyweight; n= 6). 6. High plasma concentrations of ouabain do not cause consistent increases in blood pressure in conscious Sprague-Dawley rats.     

后颅窝转移瘤

Twenty-seven cases of metastatic tumor of posterior fossa were presented in this paper. Of the patients, 20 were males and 7 females; their age ranged from 20 to 68, and 89% of them were over 40 years of age. The primary foci found were bronchopulmonary carcinomas (7 cases), rhinopharyngeal carcinomas (3 cases), and cancer of the liver (1 case), but in 16 cases the primary foci were not found. All of these patients presented symptoms and signs of obviously increased intracranial pressure, and most of them had the signs of cerebellar and cranial nerves' lesions. Ventriculorgraphy and brain CT scanning were important procedures in the diagnosis, and MRI was most valuable in establishing the diagnosis and localization of posterior fossa metastatic tumors. Twenty-six patients underwent operation. The short-term follow-up study showed an improvement in 25 cases. There was one death. The surgical treatment of posterior fossa metastatic tumor was emphasized. Radiotherapy and chemotherapy were discussed.     

Hepatitis C virus infection in hemodialysis patients]

To study whether HCV infection is present in dialysis patients and the status of antibody responses to HCV viremia, 16 patients undergoing hemodialysis were assayed for anti-HCV by ELISA and RIBA. A high incidence of anti-HCV (13/16) was found. All the 16 patients were studied for HCV viremia by 'nested' PCR and 10 were HCV RNA positive. Altogether 14 were anti-HCV and/or HCV RNA positive, which indicates that the incidence of HCV infection is high in hemodialysis patients, at least in some units. Cloning, sequencing of the PCR products showed high homology among isolates, with 91% homology to that of Japanese strains. It is important to study anti-HCV/HCV RNA in dialysis patients.     

自制与进口氯化十六烷基吡啶抑菌作用的比较研究

以液体稀释法比较了自制与进口十六烷基吡啶作用于4种口腔常见微生物的最低抑菌浓度和最低杀菌浓度的实验结果,经t检验证明两者间无显著差异,提示自制氯化十六烷基吡啶的药效质量可靠。并就控制接种菌量及杀菌机理等问题作了初步探讨。     

绿脓杆菌MSHA菌毛株菌苗与白血病免疫应答反应

绿脓杆菌(MSHA)菌苗是一种具有广谱抗感染效果的免疫调节剂。我们观察了20例白血病患者多次疫苗主动免疫的免疫应答反应,14例病人血中广谱抗体效价升高,临床上有很好的治疗反应,6例抗体效价无变化,而临床症状加重,最后均死于败血症。上述结果提示白血病病人对疫苗的免疫应答反应,在白血病缓解中起着重要作用,对临床早期准确判断白血病患者的预后很有意义。     

甘草甜素和甘草酸单铵促进IL-2增强NK活性的研究

本实验采用乳酸脱氢酶释放法研究甘草甜素和甘草酸单铵对人外周血NK细胞活性的影响。结果表明,甘草甜素和甘草酸单铵本身无增强NK细胞活性的作用,但可明显促进IL-2增强NK活性,这种增强作用与甘草甜素和甘草酸单铵的浓度有关。
