Allelopathic effect of Acorus tatarinowii upon algae.

Besides competing with algae for light and mineral nutrients (i.e. N, P, etc.), the root system of Acorus tatarinowii excretes some chemical substances, which injure and eliminate alga cells, to inhibit the growth of the algae. When the algae cells were treated in "A. tatarinowii water", some of the chlorophyll a were destroyed and the photosynthetic rate of algae decreased markedly and the ability of alga cells to deoxidize triphenyltetrazolium chloride (TTC) reduced greatly. Then alga cells turned from bright red to bluish green under fluorescence microscope. These showed that the allelopathic effects of A. tatarinowii on algae were obvious and planting A. tatarinowii can control some green algae. The experiment on the extractions of the secretions of the root system showed that the inhibitory effect had a concentration effect. If the concentration of the root secretion was below 30 microliters/disc, the inhibitory rate was negative; if it was over 45 microliters/disc, the inhibitory rate was positive. This proved that the influence of the root secretion on the same acceptor was a kind of concentration effect. When the concentration of the root secretion was low, it promoted the growth of algae; when the concentration reached a definite threshold value, it restrained the growth of algae. In present case, the threshold value was between 30 microliters/disc and 45 microliters/disc.

[Reconstruction of elbow flexion and shoulder abduction with transfer of pectoralis major].

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical application of primary transfer of pectoralis major to reconstruct the elbow flexion and shoulder abduction. METHODS: 12 cases of old injury of branchial plexus with dysfunction of both elbow and shoulder joints were received surgical operation to reconstruct the palsy joints by primary transfer of pectoralis major, shoulder abduction was reconstructed by clavicular head and elbow flexion by sternal head respectively. All cases were followed up for 5 to 18 months. RESULTS: The function of both joints recovered obviously, the total superior rate is 91.7%. CONCLUSION: Only if the palsy joints, shoulder or elbow, remained normal or almost normal passive motion, and the muscle power of pectoralis major over 4 degrees, the primary transfer of pectoralis major should be a simple, reliable and convenient technique to reconstruct the palsy joints.

[Pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of nikethamide after endotracheal administration in dogs].

Five dogs were anaesthetized by using i.v. 30 mg.kg-1 Na-pentobarbiturate. For each dog, the tracheostomy was done and a sterized rubber tube was inserted into the tracheal tract. Through the rubber tube, 10 ml sterized nikethamide (Nik) solution was rapidly injected into the tract via 10 ml syringe and 5 forceful ventilations were performed immediately with the aid of a balloon in 30 s. Following tracheal administration (ET) of Nik 8.3 or 25 mg.kg-1 in dogs the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics were studied. Blood Nik concentrations were determined by phosphorimetric method. It was shown that the absorption of Nik via tracheal tract was very quick. The blood Nik levels were 7.9 and 10.6 micrograms.ml-1 at 0.5 min and reached the maxima of 12.8 and 31.9 micrograms.ml-1, at 2.5 min, respectively, which was higher than that of i.v. Nik 8.3 mg.kg-1. Time course of Nik concentrations in plasma after ET 8.3 and 25 mg.kg-1 were fitted to a 2-compartment open model with T1/2Ka 0.48 and 0.85 min, T1/2 alpha 2.37 and 1.68 min, T 1/2 beta 114 and 130 min, AUC 1201 and 2790 micrograms.min.ml-1, bioavailability 84.7% and 65.5%, respectively. One minute after i.v. or ET Nik (8.3 or 25 mg.kg-1), respiration rate and tidal volume were increased and reached the maxima after 5 min. The recovery of respiration rate and tidal volume were proportional to the blood Nik concentration after 5-45 min with a linear regression coefficient of 0.9. The results indicated that ET Nik may be used instead of i.v. in resuscitation.

Homotransplantation of testis. A report of 11 cases.

Testis homotransplantation has been carried out in 11 patients since 1986. Of them, 8 suffered from congenital testicular dysplasia and the other 3 from orchiatrophy as a result of orchitis. Preoperatively, manifestations were a small penis, small testes, sexual dysfunction, indistinct secondary sex characteristics and low serum testosterone (1.7-7.35 mmol/L). Three cases had cadaver transplants and 8 had living relatives' transplants. The patients were followed up for 7 months to 4 years. The secondary sex characteristics and sexual function were improved remarkably after transplantation. Serum testosterone increased up to 12.8-18.2 mmol/L. All of 5 married patients resumed sexual intercourse satisfactorily. Three others got married after transplantation and have enjoyed normal sexual functions. Spermatozoa have been found in the semen in 3 of the cases.

Endotracheal administration of epinephrine during cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

A hypoxia-induced canine cardiac model was used to study the effectiveness hemodynamic response, arterial blood gas and pulmonary pathologic changes after endotracheal (ET) epinephrine administration in comparison with those from intravenous (IV) administration. The results indicated that the survival rate was the same with the drug given by either route. The increase of hemodynamic indices was lower in the group after ET administration than that after IV administration. No significant influence was exerted on the drug effects whether the drug is diluted in normal saline or in distilled water and no serious detrimental effects occurred on the lung tissues following ET epinephrine administration.
