Arrhythmias induced by coronary artery ligation in cats, by CaCl2 and epinephrine in rats, and by ouabain in guinea-pigs were used as experimental models for studying the effects of a new calcium antagonist AR-1 ([1,2,5-trimethyl-4-phenyl-4-beta-(N-cyanoethyl-N-4'-methoxybenzyl) -ethylamino]piperidine, calcium channel blocker and calmodulin antagonist) on ventricular arrhythmias. Coronary ligation caused 90% lethality (ventricular fibrillation) with 12.5 min in untreated control cats, which was prevented by administration of AR-1 (4 mg/kg body weight (b.w.) before or after arrhythmia induction. Pretreatment with AR-1 afforded protection in a dose-related fashion. A dose of 1.5 mg/KG b.w. increased survival to 45%, and all cats dosed with 3 to 5 mg/Kg b.w. survived. CaCl2 (180 mg/Kg b.w., i.v.) induced ventricular fibrillation and 100% lethality. These effects were completely prevented by an anti-arrhythmic dose of AR-1 (3 mg/kg b.w.). Epinephrine-induced ventricular arrhythmias were also prevented by the same dose of AR-1. AR-1 (5 mg/kg b.w.) did not prevent ouabain (0.5 mg/kg b.w.)-induced arrhythmias that caused death within 17 +/- 3.7 min, but displayed protective effects during 67 +/- 7.7 min. The results from these animal studies, in conjunction with previously studies demonstrating coronarodilatory and anti-platelet efficacy of this compound, collectively suggest that AR-1 has a potential to become a useful antianginal and antiarrhythmic therapeutic agent. 相似文献

PURPOSE: To assess prospectively the role of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the staging of patients with a solitary bone plasmacytoma (SBP). PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twelve consecutive patients with an apparent SBP underwent MR imaging of both the primary tumor and the thoracic and lumbosacral spine to seek additional foci of marrow involvement that might have been undetected by standard skeletal survey. All patients received megavoltage irradiation (total dose, 40 Gy) to the primary lesion. RESULTS: MR imaging of the thoracic and lumbosacral spine showed additional foci of marrow replacement in four of 12 patients, with signal characteristics identical to those of the primary tumor. In all four patients, the abnormal protein persisted at greater than 50% of the pretreatment value following radiation treatment. In contrast, the myeloma protein disappeared or was reduced by greater than 50% in five of the six patients with secretory disease and without additional marrow abnormalities. One of four patients progressed to multiple myeloma 10 months after diagnosis with new lesions on conventional radiographs in the same areas as detected previously by MR imaging. CONCLUSION: Four of 12 patients considered to have a SBP by standard criteria may have been understaged, because MR imaging showed additional marrow abnormalities consistent with myeloma. MR imaging of the spine may contribute to the initial staging of SBP, especially since some patients may be cured with radiotherapy. 相似文献

Two-photon and three-photon Raman scattering processes are considered. Analytical expressions are derived for the non-linear susceptibility, gain coefficient and generation threshold. It is shown that the resonant fluorescence accompanies the Raman scattering and the hot luminescence processes when the finite population of states is taken into account. Numerical evaluations show that the specification of the medium leads to low generation thresholds and high magnitudes of gain coefficients. 相似文献

Design for manufacturability (DFM) has thus far been the focus of extensive study in the semiconductor industry. Although deep-submicron processes enable the manufacture of area-efficient, high-performance chips, navigating the nanometer landscape presents enormous manufacturability challenges. 相似文献

Erythrokinetic studies were conducted in 60 patients with chronic anemia due to bone marrow involvement by cancer and other diseases. Fifty-seven percent had evidence of ineffective erythropoiesis contributing to the severity of their anemia. Enhanced bone marrow activity in the extremities was detected in 14% of patients. Maximal doses of several oral androgens were given to 31 patients for at least 3 months. Only 26% of the patients increased their red cell mass by at least 20%. All who benefitted had a minimum level of effective erythropoiesis and showed a decline in serum iron concentration at least 30 mug/100 ml after 1 month of treatment. Erythropoietin values were not helpful in identifying responding patients. These findings indicated the value of erythrokinetic studies in defining the bone marrow capacity of patients with cancer who are considered for androgen treatment trials. 相似文献

We describe a multioctave power-combiner structure using finline arrays in an oversized coaxial waveguide. The spectral-domain method (SDM) is used to compute the propagation constant in this structure, and is verified with HFSS simulations. The SDM method is then employed to synthesize broad-band tapered impedance transformers in finline for coupling energy to and from a set of monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) amplifiers. A modular assembly is described using a sectoral tray architecture. The concept is demonstrated for a 32-MMIC system using low-power traveling-wave amplifier MMICs, providing a 3-dB bandwidth of 13 GHz (3-16 GHz). An output combining loss of 1 dB is estimated from the small-signal measurements, suggestion a combining efficiency of ~75% for 32 MMICs 相似文献
