针刺对变应性鼻炎患者血浆内皮素及鼻粘膜微血管的影响

目的对３３例常年性变应性鼻炎患者进行针刺治疗,以观察其对血浆内皮素（ｅｎｄｏｔｈｅｌｉｎ,ＥＴ）及鼻粘膜微血管的影响。方法①血浆ＥＴ测定：采用特异性放射免疫法（均相竞争法）直接测定血浆ＥＴ含量。②鼻粘膜微血管的观察：主要观察鼻粘膜微血管管径、管袢数及鼻粘膜微血管的形态。③针刺治疗：选择曲池、血海两穴进行针刺。结果变应性鼻炎患者鼻粘膜微血管管径针刺后较针刺前增粗;针刺后变应性鼻炎患者鼻粘膜微血管形态变化以灯丝状微血管增多、网络状微血管减少为特征;变应性鼻炎患者鼻粘膜微血管管袢数针刺后较针刺前增多;变应性鼻炎患者针刺后血浆ＥＴ含量明显降低。结论变应性鼻炎针刺后鼻粘膜微循环明显改善,表现为鼻粘膜微血管管径增粗,灯丝状微血管增多、网络状微血管减少,管拌数增加,并与血浆ＥＴ存在密切关系,其机理可能是通过降低血浆ＥＴ的水平而起作用的。

自发性高血压大鼠血中内皮素、一氧化氮、丙二醛水平及其意义

为探讨内皮素(ET)、一氧化氮(NO)在高血压发病中的作用及相互关系。选用自发性高血压大鼠(SHR)和对照WKY大鼠各10只,分别测定血浆中NO(?)/NO (?),MDA及ET水平,分析血压与ET、NO及MDA与NO的关系。结果SHR血浆中的NO(?)/N0(?)、ET、MDA水平明显高于对照组(P<0.01),同时SHR血压与ET水平独立相关,偏相关系数为0.8855(P<0.01),MDA与NO(?)/NO(?)正相关(r=0.8714,P<0.01)。结果提示,ET水平升高在高血压发病中起重要作用,血浆NO升高是一种代偿反应,但NO过度升高参与高血压的发展,并可能与高血压的并发症有关。

Trophic effect of angiotensin II in neonatal rat cardiomyocytes: role of endothelin-1 and non-myocyte cells

1. Angiotensin II (AII) and the endothelins (ET) are known to be potent trophic stimuli in various cells including cardiomyocytes. In order to characterize further these effects we studied, in neonatal rat ventricular cardiomyocytes, the effects of several endothelin-receptor antagonists and the AT₁-receptor antagonist losartan on AII- and endothelin-induced inositol phosphate (IP)-formation (assessed as accumulation of total [³H]-IPs in myo-[³H]-inositol prelabelled cells) and increase in rate of protein synthesis (assessed as [³H]-phenylalanine incorporation).
2. Endothelin (10 pM–1 μM) concentration-dependently increased IP-formation (max. increase at 100 nM ET-1: 130±14% above basal, n=25) and [³H]-phenylalanine incorporation (max. increase at 1 μM: 52±4% above basal, n=16) with an order of potency: ET-1>>ET-3. Both effects were antagonized by the ET_A/ET_B-receptor antagonist bosentan and the ET_A-receptor antagonist BQ-123, but not affected by the ET_B-receptor antagonist IRL 1038 and the AT₁-receptor antagonist losartan.
3. Pretreatment of the cells with 500 ng ml⁻¹ pertussis toxin (PTX) overnight that completely inactivated PTX-sensitive G-proteins did not attenuate but rather enhance ET-1-induced IP-formation. On the other hand, in PTX-pretreated cardiomyocytes ET-1-induced [³H]-phenylalanine incorporation was decreased by 39±5% (n=5).
4. AII (1 nM–1 μM) concentration-dependently increased IP-formation (max. increase at 1 μM: 42±7% above basal, n=16) and [³H]-phenylalanine incorporation (max. increase at 1 μM: 29±2%, n=9). These effects were antagonized by losartan, but they were also antagonized by bosentan and BQ-123.
5. In well-defined cultures of cardiomyocytes (not contaminated with non-myocyte cells) AII failed to increase [³H]-phenylalanine incorporation; addition of non-myocyte cells to the cardiomyocytes restored AII-induced increase in [³H]-phenylalanine incorporation.
6. We conclude that, in rat neonatal ventricular cardiomyocytes, (a) the ET-1-induced increase in rate of protein synthesis (through ET_A-receptor stimulation) involves at least two signalling pathways: one via a PTX-insensitive G-protein coupled to IP-formation, and the other one via a PTX-sensitive G-protein, and (b) the trophic effects of AII are brought about via local ET-1 secretion upon AT₁-receptor stimulation in neonatal rat ventricular non-myocyte cells.

     

Venous plasma levels of endothelin-1 are not altered immediately after nitroglycerin infusion in healthy subjects

Endothelin-1 and nitric oxide play an important regulatory role in the control of vascular smooth muscle tone. Nitroglycerin (NTG), a nitric oxide donating drug, may inhibit endothelin production. In this double-blind placebo-controlled crossover study, plasma levels of endothelin-1 were measured before and immediately (5–30 s) after 80 min infusion of NTG (glyceryl trinitrate) or saline in 12 healthy subjects. On two different days separated by at least 1 week, NTG in four different doses, 0.015, 0.25, 1.0, and 2.0 g·kg^–1·min^–1, or placebo (isotonic saline) was infused successively for 20 min each dose. During the infusion blood pressure and heart rate were measured. NTG infusion significantly decreased systolic blood pressure from 112.4 to 103.4 mmHg and pulse pressure from 39.3 to 29.5 mmHg. Heart rate increased from 62.7 to 73.1 beats·min^–1. No changes in endothelin-1 plasma levels were induced by NTG infusion (2.4 pg·ml^–1 before NTG vs. 2.7 pg·ml^–1 after NTG) and placebo infusion also did not affect plasma endothelin-1. It is concluded that venous plasma levels of endothelin-1 are not altered immediately after NTG infusion.
