ABSTRACT
@#To explore the effect of Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) on anticoagulation of 4 new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), dabigatran, apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban in vitro, thrombin time (TT), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT) and the activity of coagulation factor Xa (FXa) of rat plasma were measured at different concentrations of NOACs, GBE or NOACs combined with GBE, respectively. The results showed that TT, PT and APTT were prolonged with the increase of NOACs concentration in the range of 0-500 ng/mL; that except for TT of rivaroxaban, other results showed a good linear correlation with NOACs concentration (r2= 0.78-0.98); and that FXa activity decreased with increased concentration of FXa inhibitors (apixaban, rivaroxaban and edoxaban), with a good linear correlation with concentration of FXa inhibitors in the range of 0-250 ng/mL (r2= 0.85-0.94). GBE had no significant effect on TT, PT and APTT (P>0.05) in the concentration range of 0-500 μg/mL, but FXa activity had a positive linear correlation with GBE concentration (r2= 0.840 4). TT was prolonged with increasing GBE concentration when dabigatran was combined with GBE. When the above FXa inhibitors were combined with GBE, TT shortened and FXa activity increased with rising GBE concentration. There were no significant changes in PT and APTT (P>0.05) when NOACs were combined with GBE. The study results suggest that GBE may synergize with the anticoagulant activity of dabigatran and antagonize the anticoagulant activity of FXa inhibitors, possibly due to its role in increasing FXa activity.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effect of comprehensive schistosomiasis control measures based on infection source control in Hanchuan City marshland and lake endemic regions . Methods The data of comprehensive schistosomiasis control in Hanchuan City from 2004 to 2013 were collected and the change trends of the Oncomelania hupensis snail status and the in?fection situation of human and livestock were analyzed to evaluate the control effect. Results After the implementation of the comprehensive measures the infection rates of residents and cattle decreased from 6.38%and 8.11%in 2004 to 0.16%and 0 in 2013 respectively. There were no acute schistosomiasis patients since 2007 no new infection cases since 2011 and no infected snails since 2012. Compared with 2004 the occurrence rate of frames with living snails and the average density of living snails decreased by 56.78%and 68.35% respectively but the snail area and susceptible area increased by 0.62%and 7.10% respec?tively. In 2013 all the 367 endemic villages in 26 townships reached the criteria of transmission controlled. Conclusions The comprehensive schistosomiasis control measures based on infection source control can control the schistosomiasis transmission effectively in marshland and lake endemic regions. When consolidating the achievement the snail area in inner embankment should be compressed to prevent the schistosome re?infection in human and livestock.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the effects of adrenaline on pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of bupivacaine for interscalene plexus block. Method:Sixteen ASA gradeⅠ-Ⅱadult patients undergoing shoulder or upper limbs operation were randomly divided into two groups (n=8)). The plexus block was induced with 0.75％ bupivacaine 2 mg/kg or 0.75％ bupivacaine 2mg/kg plus 1:200 000 adrenaline. Clinical effects and plasma concentration,the Cmax and Tmax were compared between two groups. Result:The time to reach peak analgesia and the duration of analgesia were longer in adrenaline group than in control group(P
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate the effects of lotensin on sympathetic responses following cervical plexus block and to explore the mechanism of cardiovascular responses and sympathetic nervous system activity according to plasma catecholamine concentration. Method: Sixty adult patients were randomly divided into two groups (n = 30):Group A and group B. In group B lotensin 0.15mg/kg was taken orally at night before surgery and 2h before anesthesia separately. Hemodynamics was determined before anesthesia(T_1), 5min(T_2), 10min(T_3), 15-20min(T_4)and 30min (T_5) after cervical plexus block. For measurement of plasma catecholamine concentration, blood was collected at T_1,T_3,T_4 and T_5. The study was finished before beginning of surgery and infusion. Result: In group A after anesthesia SP,DP, MAP,HR,RPP and plasma noradrenalinc level rose markedly(P0.05). All parameters were lower in group B compared with group A(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effects of captopril on intubation response and the mechanism. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients aged 25-60 yr, weighing 45-70 kg, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into 2 groups: captopril group ( n = 15) and control group ( n = 13) . Premedication consisted of intramuscular phenobarbital 0.2 g and atropine 0.5 mg. In captopril group, captopril 0.3-0.35 mg?kg-1 was injected intravenously 10 min before induction while in control group normal saline 10 ml was given instead. Anesthesia was induced with droperidol 0.05 mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 1 ?g?kg-1 , thiopentone 5-6 mg?kg-1 . Intubation was facilitated with succinylcholine 1.5 mg ? kg-1 . Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation was successfully performed within 30 seconds. Mechanical ventilation was started and enflurane inhalation was begun and maintained at 2.1 % , SBP, DBF, HR, EGG and SpO2 were continuously monitored. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein before induction (T0 ) , at intubation (T1 ), 1-1.5 min (T2) and 5 min (T3) after intubation for determination of plasma concentrations of angiotensin- Ⅰ (A 1 ), angiotensin- Ⅱ (A Ⅱ ), aldosterone (ALD), noradrenaline (NE), adrenaline (E), atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) and thromboxane B2(TXB2) .Results (1) In captopril group SBP, DBF, HR, and heart rate-systolic BP product (RPP) remained unchanged at intubation, while in control group the parameters were significantly increased at T1 or T2 as compared with the baseline values ( P
