杭白菊总黄酮的舒血管作用

目的观察杭白菊总黄酮(TFCM)的舒血管作用并探讨其作用机制。方法大鼠胸主动脉环张力测定法。结果在内皮完整及去内皮血管上,TFCM均浓度依赖性地降低苯肾上腺素(PE)预收缩血管的张力,拮抗高钾引起的血管收缩;TFCM使PE收缩曲线非平行右移,且使最大张力减小;L-NAME、亚甲蓝和吲哚美辛能显著减弱TFCM的血管舒张作用;TFCM可以显著对抗无钙环境下以及无钙环境下渐加钙由PE引起的血管收缩。结论TFCM对血管的舒张作用表现为内皮依赖性,其舒张作用与其直接抑制电压依从性钙通道、受体操纵性钙通道、细胞内钙释放有关。

Assessment of tissue viability by polarization spectroscopy

A new and versatile method for tissue viability imaging based on polarization spectroscopy of blood in superficial tissue structures such as the skin is presented in this paper. Linearly polarized light in the visible wavelength region is partly reflected directly by the skin surface and partly diffusely backscattered from the dermal tissue matrix. Most of the directly reflected light preserves its polarization state while the light returning from the deeper tissue layers is depolarized. By the use of a polarization filter positioned in front of a sensitive CCD-array, the light directly reflected from the tissue surface is blocked, while the depolarized light returning from the deeper tissue layers reaches the detector array. By separating the colour planes of the detected image, spectroscopic information about the amount of red blood cells (RBCs) in the microvascular network of the tissue under investigation can be derived. A theory that utilizes the differences in light absorption of RBCs and bloodless tissue in the red and green wavelength region forms the basis of an algorithm for displaying a colour coded map of the RBC distribution in a tissue. Using a fluid model, a linear relationship (cc. = 0.99) between RBC concentration and the output signal was demonstrated within the physiological range 0–4%. In-vivo evaluation using transepidermal application of acetylcholine by the way of iontophoresis displayed the heterogeneity pattern of the vasodilatation produced by the vasoactive agent. Applications of this novel technology are likely to be found in drug and skin care product development as well as in the assessment of skin irritation and tissue repair processes and even ultimately in a clinic case situation.
