Reduction in LBNP tolerance following prolonged endurance exercise training.

Eight young men underwent an 8-month endurance exercise training program. Prior to and following the training program, the subjects' maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), total blood volume (TBV) and plasma volume (PV), tolerance to lower body negative pressure (LBNP) assessed by the cumulative stress index (CSI) to presyncope, and their hemodynamic responses to 0 to -45 torr LBNP was determined. Hemodynamic measures included rebreathe carbon dioxide cardiac output (Qc), heart rate (HR), directly measured arterial blood pressures (ABP), and strain gauge determination of forearm blood flow (FBF) and leg volume changes (delta LgV). Calculated values of stroke volume (SV), forearm, vascular resistance (FVR), and peripheral vascular resistance (PVR) were made. Following training, each subject had an increased VO2max (mean = +27.4%, P < 0.001), TBV (mean = +15.8%, P < 0.02), and PV (mean = +16.5%, P < 0.02) and each subject had a decreased tolerance to LBNP (mean CSI = -24%, P < 0.001). Stepwise linear regression identified that the major factors to significantly predict the decreased CSI pre- to post-training were a reduced response of PVR to LBNP from -15 to -45 torr (Model R2 = 0.853), the delta TBV (model R2 = 0.981), and the greater post-training reduction in SBP to LBNP of 0 to -45 torr (model R2 = 1.0). These data suggest that physiologic adaptations associated with the increased VO2max and TBV resulting from a prolonged endurance exercise training program can alter the reflex control of vasomotion and cardiac output during LBNP and reduce the LBNP tolerance.

骨骼肌最大收缩力与最适初长度及其参数的研究

本实验以免载体股直肌为实验模型,研究了该肌在一定脉冲电流刺激下其初长度与收缩力、肌张力及肌力变化的相互关系。同时测定了正常生理状态下兔伸屈膝时股直肌拉长度的变化。结果表明:兔股直肌延长在1.0cm内时,肌力随初长度的延长而增大,超过1.0cm时增大已不明显(p<0.0 1),1.0cm与股直肌的生理最大延长度1.1cm相似。说明兔股直肌的初长度变化不应超过生理最大延长度。而人的骨骼肌与哺乳动物的骨骼肌没有本质的区别,因此,人骨骼肌的初长度变化也不应超过生理最大延长度。肌腱转位后的活动范围应在原位的生理活动范围内,才能发挥最佳收缩效应。     

健脾止泻饮治疗糖尿病腹泻32例观察

目的:观察自拟健脾止泻饮治疗糖尿病腹泻的临床疗效。方法:治疗组32例用健脾止泻饮治疗,对照组30例用维生素B1、复方苯乙呱啶、盐酸黄连素治疗。结果:治疗组总有效率93.8%,对照组总有效率56.7%,两组比较有极显著性差异(P<0.01)。结论:健脾止泻饮治疗糖尿病腹泻有较好疗效,且无不良反应和毒副作用。     

长沙地区孕妇CMV感染状况及其临床追踪观察

研究了７７例长沙地区孕、产妇的宫颈排毒（ＣＭＶ）情况及母、婴的免疫状态，并对宫颈排毒及ＣＭＶ一ＩｇＭ阳性的母亲所生小孩进行临床追踪。结果显示：孕妇宫颈排毒率为４．５％，抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＧ和抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＭ阳性率分别为７７％和１３％，５９例脐血ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＭ阴性。宫颈排毒的３例其抗体检测抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＧ均阳性，抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＭ仅一例阳性。作者认为，对妊娠期活动性ＣＭＶ感染的诊断，仅检测抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＧ和抗ＣＭＶ－ＩｇＭ抗体滴度仍不足，尚须结合病毒分离和其它检测手段。

胃癌高发区酸煎饼汁真菌菌相,致突变性及亚硝胺含量

Sour corn-soybean cake is the main food of the inhabitants in high incidence area of stomach cancer in Linqu county Shandong province. In the extract of the sour corn-soybean cakes, twelve mycotoxin-producing fungi and 3 N-nitrosamines (NDMA, NDEA, NMEA) were detected and the finding rates of the fungi and the N-nitrosamines were 93.3% and 92.3%, respectively; the concentration of NDMA was 0.4-3.8 ng/ml, NDEA 0.2-8.1 ng/ml, and NMEA 0.3-1.4 ng/ml. The positivity rate of the Ames test (most positive materials were direct mutagens) was 44.12%. The experimental results showed that the extract of the sour corn-soybean cakes containing carcinogenic and mutagenic subjects could have some causal relationship with the incidence of stomach cancer.
