理气类中药对大鼠离体胃平滑肌条的作用

目的：观察理气类中药对大鼠离体胃平滑肌条运动的影响。方法：将肌条放置在灌流肌槽中，用生理记录仪记录肌条的收缩活动。结果：陈皮、枳实对胃各部位平滑肌条均为抑制效应，香附、薤白、木香、柿蒂、乌药对胃底肌条为兴奋效应，但对其他部位肌条则表现为兴奋或抑制不同的效应，沉香仅降低胃窦环行肌收缩波平均振幅，对其他肌条无影响。结论：理气类中药对大鼠离体胃平滑肌条既有兴奋作用，也有抑制作用。

胰岛素对大鼠血管平滑肌细胞表型转化的影响

目的:探讨胰岛素对体外培养的血管平滑肌细胞(vascular smooth muscle cell,VSMC)表型转化的影响.方法:用酶消化法分离大鼠VSMC,采用免疫组织化学法检测胰岛素作用后VSMC肌动蛋白(α-SM actin),RT-PCR 检测胰岛素作用后VSMC中bFGF、TGF-β、PDGF、matrix Gla和OPN各目的基因mRNA相对表达水平.结果:胰岛素组VSMC的3H-TdR掺入值比对照组升高47％(P<0.01), VSMC α- SM actin免疫组化结果显示对照组的α-SM actin比胰岛素组染色深.而matrix Gla和OPN在培养的VSMC中mRNA的表达量,胰岛素组明显高于对照组(P<0.05),同时bFGF、TGF-β、PDGF的表达胰岛素组也明显高于对照组(P<0.05).并可明显见到细胞骨架F-actin、G-actin重新分布.结论:在合成表型的matrix Gla和OPN表达量明显高于收缩表型,而合成表型的α- SM actin表达量明显低于收缩表型.提示胰岛素对VSMC的表型转化起了一定作用.胰岛素在促进了VSMC增殖的同时,伴有VSMC由收缩型转变为合成型及细胞骨架F-actin、G-actin重新分布.     

Pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents after a priming dose of vecuronium

A case is presented of a 16-year-old girl with ectodermal dysplasia for whom dental surgery under general anaesthesia was planned. Following a priming dose of vecuronium, and immediately after injection of sodium thiopentone (5 mg·kg⁻¹) pulmonary aspiration of gastric contents occurred. It is hypothesized that, because of the rapid speed of onset of neuromuscular blocking agents on the laryngeal muscles, that partial laryngeal paralysis was present at the time of induction of anaesthesia and that this was responsible in part for the episode of pulmonary aspiration.

大鼠自体平滑肌细胞移植对心肌梗死后心功能恢复的作用

目的:研究自体平滑肌细胞移植到心肌梗死区后对心功能恢复的作用.方法:用酶消化法从SD大鼠的输精管中分离、提取自体平滑肌细胞,进行体外培养、扩增.移植组(n=12)将BrdU标记后的自体平滑肌细胞直接注射移植到左冠脉前降支结扎后2周形成的心肌梗死区瘢痕组织中;对照组(n=12)注射同等剂量的DMEM培养液.超声检查评估移植前和移植后4周的心功能状况.用免疫组化染色的方法,检测心肌瘢痕组织中是否有植入的平滑肌细胞存活以及促血管新生的情况.结果:移植的自体平滑肌细胞能在心肌梗死区内存活并形成肌样组织.与对照组比较,移植组左心室舒张末容积(LVEDV)明显减小[(0.78±0.16) vs (0.92±0.15) ml, P<0.01],左心室射血分数(LVEF)显著提高[(47.6±7.2)％ vs (29.3±6.1)％, P<0.01],心肌瘢痕组织血管新生明显[血管密度:(1.9±0.4)/(0.8 mm2) vs (0.4±0.2)/(0.8 mm2), P<0.01].结论:自体平滑肌细胞移植能防止心肌梗死后的心室腔扩大,促进梗死区血管新生,改善心功能.

Inflammation and the Aging Process: Devil or Angel

Inflammation is often viewed as a pathologic mechanism leading to tissue damage and interference with function, such as the process of chronic tissue scarring or fibrosis. However, it is important to note that inflammation is a crucial component of normal tissue repair as well as being fundamental to the body's defense against infection. Considering inflammation as a "causative agent in aging" belies the underlying mechanisms whereby the acute inflammatory response is necessary for survival, and efforts to reduce and control the inflammatory response leave the host susceptible to infectious agents and improper healing. Chronic inflammation inevitably has initiating mechanisms that include immune, autoimmune, and metabolic pathways, leading to the activation and presence of the host-protective response. It is more appropriate to target the underlying initiating conditions than the inflammatory process that ensues and treat the basic mechanisms of disease rather than interfere in a very important protective mechanism of the host.
