胺碘酮抑制缺血浦肯野纤维起搏离子流

目的观察正常及模拟“缺血”时胺碘酮对绵羊心室浦肯野纤维起搏离子流（Ｉｆ）的影响。方法双微电极电压钳制术,使膜电位过度极化以激活Ｉｆ。结果胺碘酮１×１０－５ｍｏｌ／Ｌ在正常台氏液中显著降低浦肯野纤维Ｉｆ幅值;模拟“缺血”也使Ｉｆ幅值降低,在此基础上,胺碘酮使Ｉｆ幅值进一步减小,加剧了“缺血”对Ｉｆ离子流的抑制作用。结论提示胺碘酮能抑制心肌缺血时心室正常自律性活动。     

Dietary intake of alpha-linolenic acid and risk of fatal ischemic heart disease among women

BACKGROUND: Experimental studies in laboratory animals and humans suggest that alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) may reduce the risk of arrhythmia. OBJECTIVE: The objective was to examine the association between dietary intake of alpha-linolenic acid and risk of fatal ischemic heart disease (IHD). DESIGN: This was a prospective cohort study. The intake of alpha-linolenic acid was derived from a 116-item food-frequency questionnaire completed in 1984 by 76283 women without previously diagnosed cancer or cardiovascular disease. RESULTS: During 10 y of follow-up, we documented 232 cases of fatal IHD and 597 cases of nonfatal myocardial infarction. After adjustment for age, standard coronary risk factors, and dietary intake of linoleic acid and other nutrients, a higher intake of alpha-linolenic acid was associated with a lower relative risk (RR) of fatal IHD; the RRs from the lowest to highest quintiles were 1.0, 0.99, 0.90, 0.67, and 0.55 (95% CI: 0.32, 0.94; P for trend = 0.01). For nonfatal myocardial infarction there was only a modest, nonsignificant trend toward a reduced risk when extreme quintiles were compared (RR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.61, 1.19; P for trend = 0.50). A higher intake of oil and vinegar salad dressing, an important source of alpha-linolenic acid, was associated with reduced risk of fatal IHD when women who consumed this food > or =5-6 times/wk were compared with those who rarely consumed this food (RR: 0.46; 95% CI: 0.27, 0.76; P for trend = 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: This study supports the hypothesis that a higher intake of alpha-linolenic acid is protective against fatal IHD. Higher consumption of foods such as oil-based salad dressing that provide polyunsaturated fats, including alpha-linolenic acid, may reduce the risk of fatal IHD.     

Mutational analysis of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene in primary oesophageal squamous cell carcinomas.

AIM: To investigate whether PTEN/MMAC1 mutations play a role in the carcinogenesis of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS: A panel of 33 primary oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma tumour samples and 20 corresponding morphologically normal tissues was examined for mutations in all nine exons of the PTEN/MMAC1 gene by means of polymerase chain reaction single strand conformational polymorphism analysis (PCR-SSCP) and direct DNA sequencing methods. RESULTS: Only one of 33 oesophageal squamous cell carcinomas showed an aberrant SSCP band. Further sequencing analysis of this sample revealed an 802 -29 T-->C substitution in intron 7. PTEN/MMAC1 mutations were not found in the mutational "hot spot" in exon 5, even after direct sequencing of six oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma samples and three normal tissues. However, a deletion of one nucleotide T at position 492 +8 in intron 5 was seen in all samples. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that PTEN/MMAC1 mutations do not play a major role in the carcinogenesis of oesophageal squamous cell carcinoma.     

Development of inflammation after application of mustard oil or glutamate to the rat temporomandibular joint

Application of the small-fibre excitant and inflammatory irritant mustard oil or the excitatory amino-acid receptor agonist glutamate to the rat temporomandibular joint (TMJ) region evokes similar changes in jaw-muscle activity, suggesting that peripheral application of glutamate may be nociceptive. Application of mustard oil to the TMJ region is also inflammatory, but, it is not clear if application of glutamate is equally inflammatory. In this study the extent of plasma-protein extravasation and oedema induced by mustard oil application to the TMJ region was compared with that induced by glutamate. Application of mustard oil resulted in plasma-protein extravasation into the TMJ tissues and oedema of the TMJ region. In contrast, glutamate did not cause plasma-protein extravasation or oedema.

宽叶缬草对高脂血症家兔血脂代谢的影响

目的：观察宽叶缬草（ValerianaofficinalisLvarlatifoliaMiq,VOL）油调节血脂代谢的作用。方法：用24只健康雄性白兔（体重2.0－2.5kg）造成免疫损伤并以高胆固醇食料喂饲45d,复制高脂血症模型。随机分为4组（每组6只）：（1）高脂对照组（A组）,（2）小剂量VOL组（B组）,（3）大剂量VOL组（C组）,（4）Simvastatin组（D组）。于实验前、实验第45、75、105天分别测定TC、TC、LDL-C、HDL-C、MDA和SOD。结果：（1）VOL油能显著降低TC、TC、LDL-C,升高HDL-C、C组及D组与A组之间比较均有显著性差异（P＜0.05）;C组和D组之间比较无显著性差异（P＞0.05）。（2）VOL油与Simvastatin均能降低MDA,升高SOD（与A组比较P＜0.05）。＃枪：实验提示,VOL油具有显著调节血脂作用及抗脂质过氧化作用。
