The effects on rat’s liver preservation using HX solation with high potassium and low sodium or HXm solution with high sodium and low potassium were studied with isolated perfusion of rat livers (IPRL). Sixty inbred Wistar rats were randomly divided into group HX (preserved with HX solution, n=30) and group HXm (preserved with HXm solution,n=30). The preservation effects of the storage solutions were assessed by measuring the sinunoidal lining cell mortality (SLCM), the Krebs-hense-leit perfusate ketone bidy ratio (PKBR), the hepatic sugar release (SL), and the hepatic tissue water content (HTWC). The results showed that there no significant differences between the two storage solutions after 6 hours preservation. If the preserved time was prolonged to 12 hours or more, the effect of rat’s liver preservation using HX solution were much superior to those using HXmsolutin.
Objective To investigate the effects of docosahexenoic acid (DHA) on large conductance Ca2+-activated K+ (BK) channels in normal retinal artery smooth muscle cells (RASMCs). Methods Cultured human RASMCs (6 th-8 th generations) were used to patch clamp experiment. The open probabihties (NP0) in BK channels with different concentrations (0.0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 μmol/L) of DHA were recorded by patch clamp technique in single channel configuration. RASMCs were intervened by different concentrations (0.0, 1.0, 5.0 μmol/L) of DHA as control group, low and high doses of DHA groups, respectively. The protein expressions of β subunit of BK channels in RASMCs from three groups were measured by Western blot. Results The NP0 of BK channels were 0.044 4±0.001 2, 0.081 2±0.004 2, 0.209 0±0.006 1, 0.310 5±0.005 3, 0.465 0±0.007 8 and 0.497 7±0.014 5 with perfusate of 0.0, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0 μmol/L DHA. DHA activated BK channels in a dose-dependent manner (F=2.621,P＜0.05). There was no significant difference in the protein expression of control group, low and high doses of DHA groups (F=11.657,P＞0.05). Conclusion DHA can directly activate BK channels, no increasing in subunit expression of BK channels.
As a noninvasive neuromodulation technique, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is widely used in the clinical treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases, but the mechanism of its action is still unclear. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of different frequencies of magnetic stimulation (MS) on neuronal excitability and voltage-gated potassium channels in the in vitro brain slices from the electrophysiological perspective of neurons. The experiment was divided into stimulus groups and control group, and acute isolated mice brain slices were applied to MS with the same intensity (0.3 T) at different frequencies (20 Hz and 0.5 Hz, 500 pulses) respectively in the stimulus groups. The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the resting membrane potential (RMP), action potential (AP), voltage-gated potassium channels current of hippocampal dentate gyrus (DG) granule cells. The results showed that 20 Hz MS significantly increased the number of APs released and the maximum slope of a single AP, reduced the threshold of AP, half width and time to AP peak amplitude, and improved the excitability of hippocampal neurons. The peak currents of potassium channels were decreased, the inactivation curve of transient outward potassium channels shifted to the left significantly, and the time constant of recovery after inactivation increased significantly. 0.5 Hz MS significantly inhibited neuronal excitability and increased the peak currents of potassium channels, but the dynamic characteristics of potassium channels had little change. The results suggest that the dynamic characteristics of voltage-gated potassium channels and the excitability of hippocampal DG granule neurons may be one of the potential mechanisms of neuromodulation by MS.

Objective To observe the effects of high concentr at ion glucose on the calcium-activated potassium channel of rabbits′ retinal Müller cells. Methods The rabbits′retinal Müller cells were cultured in vitro under the condition of high concentration glucose, and identified by immunohistochemical staining and transmission electron microscopy. Patch-clamp technique was used to observe the changes of the calcium-activated potassium channel of retinal Müller cells caused by high concentration glucose at different time.Results High concentration glucose could inhibit the calcium-activated potassium channel of cultured retinal Müller cells in a time-dependent manner. Conclusion High concentration glucose may reduce the biological functions of Müller cells by inhibiting calcium-activated potassium channel. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：164-167)
Objective To investigate whether sodium tanshinone ⅡA sulphonate ( STS) treatment attenuates pulmonary edema of seawater drowning ( PE-SWD) , and examine the effects of STS on Na-KATPase(NKA) in PE-SWD. Methods Thirty-six rats were randomly divided into there groups, ie. a normal group ( NG) , a seawater group ( SG) , and a STS treatment group ( TG) . The rat model of PE-SWD was established by seawater instillation. PaO2 , histological changes of lungs, lung wet /dry weight ratio ( W/D) ,pulmonary microvascular permeability ( PMVP) , and NKA activity were detected. Western blot were used to test the effects of STS on NKA-α1 expression. Results Seawater instillation decreased PaO2 and the expression of NKA, while increased W/D ratio and PMVP. At 2 h after seawater instillation, the PaO2 in the TG group were significantly higher than those in the SG group, and peaked at 4 h after seawater instillation.Histological examination showed that there were hemorrhage, edema, markedly thickened alveolar wall, and infiltration of inflammatory cells in alveolar spaces in the SG group, but lung injury was significantly alleviated in the TG group. W/D ratio and PMVP in the TG group were significantly lower than those in the SG group. Additionally, NKA activity and NKA-α1 expression were significantly higher in the TG group than those in the SG group. Conclusion STS treatment can attenuate pulmonary edema of seawater drowning which may be related with up-regulating Na-K-ATPase activity and expression.
ObjectiveTo summarize the perioperative management experience and the treatment strategy of hyperkalemia after simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplantation (SPK).MethodThe clinical data of patients with diabetes combined with end-stage renal disease who accepted SPK in the Organ Transplantation Center of West China Hospital of Sichuan University from November 2017 to November 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsA total of 6 patients accepted SPK totally. The cold ischemia time of all allografts was less than 8 h. The levels of fasting blood glucose and serum creatinine were normal in the 5 surviving patients, and the diabetic complications were relieved or improved, except for 1 patient who died of cardiac arrest due to acute left heart failure. There were 1 case of delayed primary renal function recovery, 2 cases of bleeding in the surgical area of pancreas transplantation, 1 case of gastrointestinal bleeding, 3 cases of microthrombosis in the blood vessels of pancreas transplantation, 2 cases of perirenal effusion infection, 2 cases of pulmonary infection, and 1 case of ureterobladder anastomotic leakage, all of which were cured after symptomatic treatment. Only 2 patients occurred hyperkalemia after SPK (the highest level was 6.49 mmol/L and 6.67 mmol/L respectively), and transfusion of 10% glucose injection contain insulin, emergency dialysis and oral fludrocortisone were successively performed on them to restore the potassium density in 1 month and 2 months after surgery. There were no complications of perioperative surgical technical hemorrhage, intestinal leakage, large arteriovenous thrombosis, necrotizing pancreatitis, etc.ConclusionsSPK is the most effective treatment for patients with diabetes combined with end-stage renal disease. Transfusion of 10% glucose injection contain insulin, emergency dialysis, and oral fludrocortisone are effective strategies in treating hyperkalemia after SPK.
