A double-blind cross-over study of nifedipine retard in patients with Raynaud's phenomenon

Summary The effectiveness of nifedipine retard as a treatment for Raynaud's phenomenon was assessed in 15 patients in a placebo controlled double blind study. An associated connective tissue disease was evident in 7 patients. Changes in finger and forearm blood flow (venous occlusion plethysmography), digital skin temperature and digital systolic pressure were measured acutely before and after a 2-week treatment period. Subjective assessment of efficacy was based on patient diary data. In addition alpha₂-adrenoceptor density on platelets was measured before and after chronic nifedipine therapy in both the patient group and in an age-and-sex-matched control group. No significant haemodynamic changes were observed. Nifedipine retard significantly reduced the frequency (p<0.05) with no change in either the duration or severity of vasospastic attacks. Side effects were commono following nifedipine retard. A reduction in alpha₂-adrenoceptor density on platelets was observed in patients compared to a control group (p<0.05). Alpha₂-adrenoceptor density was unchanged following a 2-week treatment period with nifedipine retard. This study concludes that nifedipine retard is not effective in the treatment of Raynaud's phenomenon over a short time course. Patients with Raynaud's phenomenon have reduced alpha₂-adrenoceptor densities on their platelets.     

低强度激光照射诱导大鼠胸主动脉金属硫蛋白的生成

目的：观察低强度红激光照射对大鼠脑主动脉金属硫蛋白（metallothionein,MT)生成的影响，探讨激光照射的细胞保护机制。方法：取24只大鼠的胸主动脉，将其制成厚度为0．5mm的薄片，置于含10％胎牛血清Krebs-Henseleit液6孔培养板，经95％O2－5％CO2、37℃孵育。设对照组及3个实验组，对照组不照射激光，3个实验组分别以功率密度为3、6和12J／cm^2的632nm波长的激光照射。采用竞争性RT－PCR法测定胸主动脉内MT的mRNA水平变化，以^109Cd牛血红蛋白饱和法测定MT的含量。结果：3个实验组MT1 mRNA水平分别比对照组增加175％（P＞0.05)、418．6％（P＜0．05）和668．2％（P＜0．01）；MT2 mRNA水平分别比对照组增加163．9（P＞0．05）、615％、（P＜0．01）和1087％（P＜0．01）；相应的MT蛋白含量分别比对照组增加142．8％（P＜0．05）、170．8％（P＜0．05）和142．1％（P＜0．05）。     

Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 modulation by tumor necrosis factor in experimental allergic encephalomyelitis

Anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) antibodies inhibit passively transferred experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) in SJL mice. The possibility that this occurs through interference in TNF's upregulation of endothelial cell adhesion molecules was investigated. Expression of both vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) on spinal cord vessels increased during EAE. The upregulation of VCAM-1 was markedly reduced or prevented by anti-TNF treatment. Leukocytic infiltration was 15-fold lower in anti-TNF-treated than diseased animals. Spinal cord endothelial expression of VCAM-1, though not ICAM-1 or fibronectin, positively correlated with the extent of T cell, B cell or monocyte infiltration in each animal.     

糖皮质激素受体阻断对烫伤大鼠肺、肾血管壁通透性变化的影响

我们以糖皮质激素受体（ＧＲ）的竞争性拮抗剂ＲＵ３８４８６（简称ＲＵ４８６）阻断大鼠体内的ＧＲ，并通过检测肺、肾组织匀浆中荧光标记白蛋白的含量，观察了烫伤后１２ｈ大鼠肺、肾血管壁通透性的变化以及阻断ＧＲ对这种变化的影响。结果显示：烫伤后１２ｈ，大鼠肺、肾组织匀浆中荧光标记白蛋白含量明显高于对照组（肺：Ｐ＜０．０５；肾：Ｐ＜０．００１）；阻断ＧＲ后再烫伤大鼠，其肺、肾组织匀浆中的荧光白蛋白含量又显著高于烫伤组（Ｐ＜０．０５）。提示：①烫伤后１２ｈ，大鼠肺、肾血管壁通透性明显升高。②ＧＲ减少可加重烫伤所致的血管壁通透性升高，并可逆转内源性糖皮质激素（ＧＣ）稳定血管壁通透性的作用。
