ABSTRACT
AIM: To investigate the mechanisms underlying the protective effect of kidney ischemic preconditioning on rabbit myocardium in case of ischemia-reperfusion and the possible role of oxygen free radicals in the process. METHODS: Animals were divided into four groups: ischemia/reperfusion(I/R), classical ischemic preconditioning(CIPC), kidney ischemic preconditioning (KIPC) and superoxide dismutase in combination with kidney ischemic preconditioning(SOD+KIPC). The endo genous myocardial pretective material, nitric oxide(NO) and 5'-nucleotidase(5'-NT) were checked in four groups. RESULTS: As compared with I/R group, both CIPC and KIPC could ameliorate left ventricular function, reduce plasma PLA 2 activity and arrhythogenic rate also, the myocardial 5'-NT and NO production were significantly higher than that of the rabbit of I/R group. However, the protective effect on rabbit myocardium was significantly weakened by the SOD administration before the ischemic preconditioning. CONCLUSION: Protective effect of KIPC on myocardium may be due to increase in endo genous myocardial protective materials, oxygen free radicals may play an important role in the endo genous myocardial protective material release.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To explore psychomotor ability of children wit h behavior problems Method: 133 children with behavior problems were screened out from a sample of 1225 pupils by tests with CBCL and CRT-C2 T he control group was selected from the other pupils matched by age and sex, the rate of case/control was 1:2 Jinyi Psychomotor test Battery (JPB) was applied to both groups Result: There were 93 valid pairs in all The study group was more impaired in selecting reaction time, digit symbol, trail ma king and JPB total score They had also larger standard deviation of selecting reaction time and higher rate of JPB abnormality than control Trail making was a protective factor for internalizing and externalizing problems Standard dev iation of selecting reaction time was a risk factor of externalizing problems Selecting reaction time, cancellation digit, digit symbol and JPB total score we re protective factors of mixed problems and JPB abnormality was the risk factor The rate of JPB abnormality of mixed problem group was significantly higher t han that of single problem groups There was significant negative correlation b etween CBCL total score and,digit symbol trail making T score and JPB total T sc ore Conclusion: Children with behavior problems perform poor i n psychomotor test, which suggests they have brain dysfunction, especially those with mixed problems
