ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the ethics and existing problems of experimental animals in medical experiments and experimental teaching, and to formulate countermeasures so that animal ethics and animal welfare can be truly reflected in medical experiments.Methods:In this study, a "Basic Function Experiment Center Animal Experiment Questionnaire" with 25 questions was formulated from three aspects: the ethical cognition of experimental animals, whether animal experiments are ethical or not, how to view the problems of animal ethics and experimental teaching and the cognition of virtual simulation experiment teaching. Questionnaire was sent to Hubei University of Medicine to investigate the international students of Batch 2017 (5-year program), undergraduates of Batch 2017 (5-year program) and nursing students of Batch 2018 (4-year program) as well as teachers, researchers and employees of laboratory animal center (all with bachelor degree or above). The survey results were expressed as percentage.Results:The recovery rate of the questionnaire in this study was 98.04%(2 451/2 500), among which the practitioners, teachers and researchers in the laboratory animal center clearly understood the ethics of experimental animals, but there was a widespread phenomenon of lagging ethics among the students. For example, 16.24% (398/2 451) students had not received animal experiment ethics education and training, 29.46% (722/2 451) were not clear about animal protection laws and regulations, 7.14% (175/2 451) thought animal experiments were immoral; 29.54% (724/2 451) had vague cognition of animal welfare and ethical knowledge; 25.91% (635/2 451) were not familiar with the operation steps; 9.38% (230/2 451) were indifferent to the extra treatment of animals due to operation errors, 7.83% (192/2 451) chose to give up the experiment in the treatment of animals after massive bleeding, only 5.43% (133/2 451) chose to continue the experiment after timely hemostasis and infusion, and 9.26% (227/2 451) chose to do operations unrelated to the experiment. After the experiment, 2.28% (56/2 451) chose to kill the animals by bloodletting, only 5.51% (135/2 451) chose excessive anesthesia euthanasia, and 1.96% (48/2 451) chose to kill the animals by cervical dislocation and violence. Only 15.79% (387/2 451) chose to remember the dead animal for 2 minutes. Only 32.56%(798/2 451) of the respondents understood virtual simulation experiment, 34.92% (856/2 451) of the respondents thought that virtual simulation experiment or experimental teaching video could be used to replace the existing live animal experiment, 77.56% (1 901/2 451) believed that the construction of virtual simulation laboratory should be strengthened.Conclusion:It is imperative to strengthen the education of students' ethics of experimental animals, which is conducive to the establishment of correct ethics of experimental animals for medical students, so that the "3R" principle and animal welfare can be truly implemented in experimental teaching and scientific research experiments.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo observe the effect ofShenmai injection on isolated cardiac systolic and diastolic function in myocardial infarction rats.Methods32 rats were randomly divided into a control group, a propranolol group, aShenmai + propranolol group and aShenmai group. The myocardial infarction models were made by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery of rats .The heart was taken from myocardial infarction rat after 3 days. The indexes of Isometric tension (IT), Diastolic tension (DT), heart rate (HR), the maximum pressure ascending and descending rate of left ventricle (± LVdp/dtmax) (mmHg/s) were recorded by using Langendorff isolated heart perfusion technique at 5min before and 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h after perfusion.ResultsCompared with the control group, the IT (2.01 ± 0.02 g, 1.52 ± 0.01 g, 1.53 ± 0.02 g), the HR (326 ± 32 time/min, 331 ± 41 time/min, 307 ± 37 time/min) and the ±LVdp/dtmax (4 012 ± 193 mmHg/s, 3 729 ± 174 mmHg/s, 3 631 ± 123 mmHg/s; 3 565 ± 202 mmHg/s, 3 632 ± 154 mmHg/s, 3 601 ± 129 mmHg/s) were apparently decreased in the propranolol group at 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h after perfusion, and the differences were statistically significant (P 0.05).ConclusionsShenmaiinjection can improve myocardial contractility in isolated heart of myocardial infarction rats, however, propranolol can completely block the strong heart effect ofShenmaiinjection. This suggests thatShenmai injection has a beta receptor agonist effect.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of Shenmai injection on cardiac hemodynamics of isolated heart in rats of myocardial infarction model. Methods 30 myocardial infarction rat models created by ligation of left anterior descending coronary artery were randomly divided into a model group, a captopril group and a Shenmai group. 24 hours after successfully setup the models, all rat models were executed and their hearts were taken. Langendorff isolated heart perfusion method was adopted, and each group was perfused with 0.05mol/L amount of corresponding medicine, the model group was perfused with KH nutritive medium. left ventricular peak pressure(LVSP)and left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF), left ventricular pressure increase/decrease rate(dp/dtmax±LV)(mmHg/s)and left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVESD)(%)and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD)(%) was observed 5 min before the perfusion and 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h after the perfusion. Results LVSP(9.47%± 0.15%vs. 3.34%± 0.05%),(11.25%± 1.31%vs. 3.79%± 0.04%) and LVEF reducing rate (7.44%± 0.10%vs. 4.94%± 0.04%), (10.24%± 0.31%vs. 5.34%± 0.05%) were elevated, and ±dp/dtmax(5 011 ± 253 mmHg/s vs. 5 827 ± 227 mmHg/s), (4 732 ± 212 mmHg/s vs. 5 837 ± 254 mmHg/s);(3 139 ± 127 mmHg/s vs. 4 722 ± 231 mmHg/s), (2 997 ± 125 mmHg/s vs. 4 793 ± 241 mmHg/s) was reduced in the Shenmai group 1 and 2 hours after the administration, which showed statistical difference compared to the model group (P<0.05). Conclusions Shenmai injection reduce myocardial contractility and intraventricular pressure of isolated heart o myocardial infarction rat models.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of Salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine combined with vinpocetine in patients with cerebral infarction.MethodsAtotal of 206 patients with cerebral infarction were randomly divided into a controlgroup and a combined treatment group according to the random number table, 103 in each group. The control group was treated with aspirin and vinpocetine, the combined treatment group received Salvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine injection on the basis of the control group. The serum contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO), as well as the serum levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) were detected before and after the treatment. The electroencephalography (EEG) amplitudes and the regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were recorded before and after the treatment .ResultsIn the combined treatment group, the serum content of MDA was significantly decreased (151.36 ± 11.36 mmol/Lvs.62.23 ± 4.11 mmol/L;t=74.878,P<0.01), while the serum content of NO (110.31 ± 9.51 mmol/Lvs.154.23 ± 12.21 mmol/L;t=28.801,P<0.05) and the serum levels of SOD (55.52 ± 4.47 U/mlvs.85.39 ± 7.21 U/ml;t=35.735,P<0.05) and NOS (115.21 ± 8.39 mmol/Lvs.190.12 ± 11.29 mmol/L;t=54.049,P<0.01) were significantly increased than before the treatment. The rCBF (39.39 ± 2.45 ml/100 g?minvs. 69.95 ± 4.25 ml/100 g?min;t=32.385,P<0.05) and EEG (62.41% ± 4.58%vs.97.02% ± 9.67%;t=31.012,P<0.05) in the combined treatment group were significantly increased than before the treatment. The total efficiency rate in the combined treatment group was significant higher than that in the control group (88.3% vs. 66.9%;χ2=12.343, P=0.004).ConclusionsSalvia miltiorrhiza and ligustrazine combined with vinpocetine has a beneficial therapeutic effect in patients with cerebral infarction, and it is probably associated withincreasing cerebral blood flow and enhancing antioxidant activity.
ABSTRACT
An auto-retractable self-disable safety syringe is introduced. The product mainly consists of barrel, plunger hander, needle holder, spring and needle cap. After injection, the clasp on top of plunger hander will be jammed with the outshoot of needle holder, meanwhile, the plunger hander tip expands the stop structure and consequently the compression spring pulls the needle and needle holder back into plunger hander. The technical parameters of present syringe such as break force, needle holder push out force and plunger hander lock force are very stable while working. With simple structure, reasonable design, easy manufacture and assemble, this product can been widely used in relevant area.

This paper is to report the study of the microscopic and macroscopic he-morrheological changes and the conditions of the nail-fold microcirculation in 30 patients with severe viral hepatitis. Normal 'individuals, patients with acute icteric hepatitis, and those with chronic active hepatitis were employed as the controls.The changes observed in the patients with severe viral hepatitis were as follows: The reduced viscosity of the whole blood and the plasma viscosity increased markedly, the dispersion rate of the blood viscosity values increased as the clinical state of the patient became more severe, and the factors increasing the blood viscosity (namely, increase of the amount of immune globulin, pro-longation of the electrophoretic time of RBC, increase of RBC sedimentation rate), and the factors decreasing the blood viscosity (namely, decreases of he-matocrit reading, fibrinogen, and the aggregation ratio of platelets) existed simultaneously. The changes of the flow condition and velocity of the nail-fold microcirculation were in close correlation with the increase of blood viscosity and the severity of the disease.The causes and the mechanism of the above-mentioned changes were discussed.
