Brain natriuretic peptide enhances the endothelium-independent cAMP and vasorelaxant responses of calcitonin gene-related peptide in rat aorta

Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) causes vasorelaxation in rat aorta involving endothelium/nitric oxide (NO)-dependent elevations of both cAMP and cGMP levels. When endothelium is removed, preincubation with exogenous NO uncovers and potentiates direct (endothelium-independent) cAMP elevations and vasorelaxations caused by CGRP. This enhancing effect of NO potentially involves elevation of cGMP and inhibition of Type III (cGMPinhibitable) phosphodiesterase, causing accumulation of cAMP. However, NO may have other actions. The aim of the present study was to determine if brain natriuretic peptide (BNP), which elevates cGMP levels independent of NO, could enhance cAMP accumulations and vasorelaxations induced by CGRP in rat aortic rings denuded of endothelium. When added separately, neither CGRP (100 nM) nor BNP (10 nM) altered cAMP levels. When added in combination, CGRP (100 nM) and BNP (10 nM) significantly elevated cAMP levels (from control of 0.95 ± 0.08 to 1.53 ± 0.09 pmol/mg protein) at 2 min. BNP (10 nM) elevated cGMP levels 10-fold at 2 min and this response was not altered by co-administration of CGRP (100 nM).Pretreatment with BNP at concentrations as low as 1 nM in endothelium-denuded aortic rings greatly enhanced the direct vasorelaxant effects of CGRP (100 nM) (from control of 0% to 57.6 ± 6.8% relaxation of phenylephrineprecontractions). Our findings indicate that BNP enhances direct (endothelium-independent) cAMP elevations and vasorelaxations caused by CGRP in rat aorta, thus supporting the concept that cGMP inhibits cAMP metabolism and enhances CGRP-induced responses in aortic smooth muscle cells.

蓖麻油引产餐对妊娠大鼠分娩的影响

目的蓖麻油引产餐用于妊娠晚期引产效果明显，但其作用机制不清楚。本研究通过引产餐灌服妊娠大鼠建立动物引产模型，以期了解引产餐对妊娠大鼠分娩启动和产程的影响，并初步探讨蓖麻油引产餐活性成份。方法于大鼠妊娠第１８～２０天灌服引产餐，观察大鼠分娩启动和分娩产程变化。利用高压液相分析蓖麻油和蓖麻油引产餐中脂肪酸成份。结果引产餐可提前妊娠大鼠分娩启动时间，缩短分娩产程。蓖麻油引产餐和蓖麻油两者脂肪酸对比结果显示，成份相同，蓖麻酸均占９０％，未见花生四烯酸成份。结论引产餐对妊娠晚期大鼠具有引产、催产作用，可以利用引产餐灌服妊娠大鼠建立动物引产模型。推测蓖麻酸是引产餐启动分娩和缩短产程的活性物质。     

动脉灌注灭活再植治疗骨肉瘤的体会

本组１２例骨肉瘤均采用动脉区域灌注灭活再植及术后化疗方法，术后２年存活率平均为７５％，１例因经验不足致局部复发，仅占８．３％，表明在化疗保障下，采用此种方法即能保肢，又能获得与截肢治疗相同的手术效果，优于单纯行灭活再植术后中方法。     

Effect of hepatitis C antibody screening in blood donors on post-transfusion hepatitis in Taiwan

A national screening programme for antibody to hepatitis C virus (HCV) in blood donors in Taiwan began in July 1992 using a second-generation immunoassay. To study the impact of this screening on post-transfusion hepatitis in Taiwan, a prospective study on post-transfusion hepatitis, that was started in 1987, was continued. As of June 1994, 245 patients who received a blood transfusion after July 1992 had completed a follow-up period for more than 6 months post-transfusion. Of them, seven (2.8%) recipients developed acute post-transfusion hepatitis. The hepatitis in six cases could not be attributed to infection by hepatitis A, B, C, D, E viruses or cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The remaining patient seroconverted to both IgG and IgM anti-CMV. All seven patients recovered in 6 months without development of chronicity, and the mean peak alanine aminotransferase level was lower compared with that of the cases before anti-HCV screening (i.e. pre-July 1992). These results indicate that the current anti-HCV screening has effectively interrupted HCV transmission through blood transfusion in Taiwan.

肝动脉化疗栓塞术治疗肝癌的临床与病理的联系

作者将9例肝动脉化疗栓塞术(HAE)后二期切除的肝癌标本,多处切片作病理检查,结合病人的临床过程分析HAE的治疗作用,肝癌包膜对HAE的影响,HAE的效果及HAE后手术的时机等。作者认为,HAE对肝癌的治疗效果是姑息性的,故HAE后应争取在30～60天内再手三术探查,争取切除肿瘤。否则,HAE后肝癌复发的可能性极大。
