The results showed:NO contents in gastric ulcer rats were increased, especially the contents of NO in gastric mucosa werehigher than that of the normal control group, P< 0. 05. After moxibustion the NO level was decreased,tending to the normal level, among them the changes of NO in serum had statistical significance, P< 0.05. By injection of L-NNA the NO contents in gastric ulcer rats showed a tendency to decrease. Aftermoxibustion no was more decressed. It suggested that NO participating in the treatment of moxibustiongastric ulcer might be due to a protection against the damage of gastric mucosa caused by the propertiesof vascular relaxation. Moreover, moxibustion could strengthen L-NNA inhibition on the synthesis展开更多

Materials & Methods: Ethical approval and informed consent were obtained for this Phase I clinical study. Patients with advanced solid tumours refractory to conventional therapy were recruited and given L-NNA intravenously at two different dose levels. Volumetric perfusion CT scans were carried out at 1, 24, 48 & 72 hours post L-NNA. Blood pressures were taken at regular interval for 6 hours after LNNA. Results: L-NNA was well tolerated by the four patients who received it. Blood flow (BF) and blood volume (BV) in both tumour and kidney were reduced post L-NNA administration (renal BF—20%;renal BV—19.7%;tumour BF—16.9%;tumour BV—18.6%), though the effect was more sustained in tumour vasculature. A negative correlation was found between the change in systemic blood pressure and vascular supply to the tumour within 1 hour following L-NNA (p 0.0001). Differences in response to L-NNA by separate target lesions in the same patient were observed. Conclusion: The differential effect of L-NNA on tumour and renal blood flow, and the absence of any significant toxicity in this small cohort of patients permit further dose escalation of L-NNA in future early phase trials. The predictive value of blood pressure change in relation to the acute effect of L-NNA on tumour vasculature deserves further evaluation.展开更多
