Therapeutic effect of Shenfu Injection on secondary aplastic anemia of tumor patients after chemotherapy

Objective: To explore the effect of Shenfu Injection, SFI) on the secondary aplastic anemia (AA) of tumor patients after chemotherapy (CT).Methods: The 15 cases of SFI treated group, 10 cases of control group, 25 cases of SFI + granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GMCSF) treated group and the group of 23 GM-CSF-treated tumor cases of secondary AA after CT were compared, with their increasing rate and the rebound speed of neutrophil, platelet, bone marrow nucleated RBC, granulocyte, and megakaryocyte all being investigated.Results: The increasing rate and rebound speed of granulocyte, platelet, and the increasing rate of bone marrow nucleated RBC, granulocyte, megakaryocyte were obviously higher than those of the control, and the clinical manifestations were also obviously improved. The increasing rate of platelet, bone marrow nucleated RBC, megakaryocyte of the SFI + GM-CSF group were higher than those of the group which used GM-CSF alone, while the increasing rate of granulocyte in blood and bone marrow in both groups was similar.Conclusion: Significant efficacy was shown in SFI for the treatment of secondary AA of tumor patients after CT.     

Sparing of perceptual implicit memory despite suppression of the electrophysiological word repetition effect: a study with general anesthetic isoflurane.

OBJECTIVE: Much effort has been devoted to the search for the neurophysiological correlates of implicit memory. A commonly held view is that the early portion (250-500 ms) of the event-related potential (ERP) word repetition effect reflects processes important for perceptual implicit memory whereas the latter portion reflects processes implicated in explicit memory. It is, however, difficult to disentangle with certainty the relative contributions of each form of memory on ERPs since both forms co-exist in normal subjects. To dissociate ERP effect related to implicit and explicit memory, we used isoflurane sedation in normal subjects to suppress explicit remembering while sparing implicit memory. These ERPs were compared with those of non-medicated control subjects. METHODS: Thirteen subjects performed an incidental encoding task for words presented auditorily during the inhalation of a subanesthetic dose of isoflurane. After termination of isoflurane administration, we assessed free recall and recorded ERPs during a syllable completion task (implicit memory) and during a passive listening task (ERP repetition effect). Eleven non-medicated control subjects were tested in a similar manner. RESULTS: The controls showed robust early and late ERP repetition effect. The isoflurane group had implicit memory without free recall and showed no ERP repetition effect. CONCLUSIONS: These findings failed to show an association between any part of the repetition effect and perceptual implicit memory. The results are consistent with the view that processes linked to explicit memory contribute to the ERP repetition effect since there was a marked difference in free recall between the control and isoflurane groups. SIGNIFICANCE: The present study shows that the reversible alterations of memory by general anesthetics can be used to study the neurophysiological correlates of memory processes.

Characterization of the effects of histamine on the transmembrane electrical activity of guinea-pig and rabbit SA- and AV-node cells

Summary The effects of histamine on the transmembrane electrical activity of cells of small preparations (0.5 × 0.5 mm) of guinea-pig and rabbit sinoatrial- and atrioventricular-nodes were studied. Histamine at concentrations above 10^–7 mol/l increased the firing rate, the rate of diastolic depolarization, the maximum diastolic potential, the amplitude and the maximum rate of depolarization of the action potential of pacemaker cells of rabbit and guineapig sinoatrial cells and rabbit atrioventricular cells. These effects were antagonized by the HZ-receptor blocker cimetidine (2.5 × 10^–6 mol/1) but they were not modified by the H₁-receptor blocker chlorphenamine (2.5 and 5×10^–6 mol/1). Small preparations of guinea-pig atrioventricular node did not exhibit spontaneous activity, but it was induced by histamine and blocked by cimetidine. Histamine increased the maximum upstroke velocity of propagated action potential of cells of the central part of complete atrioventricular node in both species studied. These effects were blocked by cimetidine, but not by chlorphenamine. It is concluded that the increase in automaticity induced by histamine in guinea-pig and rabbit sinoatrial and atrioventricular nodes was due to stimulation of H₂receptors. Histamine did not depress electrical activity of atrioventricular node cells, but rather increased it. This effect was due to H₂-receptor stimulation. Send offprint requests to: J.

Modifying Effects of Various Chemicals on Preneoplastic and Neoplastic Lesion Development in a Wide-spectrum Organ Carcinogenesis Model Using F344 Rats

Modifying potentials of various chemicals on tumor development were investigated in a wide-spectrum organ carcinogenesis model using male F344/DuCrj rats. The animals were treated with N-nitroso-diethylamine (100 mg/kg body weight, ip, single injection at the commencement of the study), N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (20 mg/kg body weight, ip, 4 times during weeks 1 and 2) and N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine (0.1% in drinking water, during weeks 3 and 4) for multi-organ initiation and then were given one of 14 test chemicals including 6 hepatocarcinogens, 7 non-hepatocarcinogens and 1 non-carcinogen, or basal diet for 16 weeks. All rats were killed at the end of week 20, and the major organs were carefully examined for preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions. Immunohistochemical demonstration of glutathione S -transferase-positivc foci was also used for quantitative assessment of liver preneoplastic lesion development. Modifying effects were shown for 11 out of 14 test agents in the liver, forestomach, glandular stomach, lung, urinary bladder or thyroid, 7 of them targeting more than two organs. This was the first demonstration to our knowledge that cloflbrate possesses enhancing potential for urinary bladder carcinogenesis and an inhibiting effect on thyroid carcinogenesis. Caprolactam showed no effect in any organ, in agreement with its established inactivity. The results indicated that the system could be reliably applied as a medium-term multiple organ bioassay for assessment of the modification potential of test agents in unknown target sites.
