The medical records of 191 AD patients who were admitted to Tongji Hospital, China, from Jan. 1998 to Feb. 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 140 cases of hypertension (73.3%) and 13 cases of Marfan syndrome (6.8%) among the 191 AD patients. A total of 157 patients were given SNP treatment. The toxic reactions of CNS occurred in 18 subjects (11.5%). Most of the adverse reactions occurred on the fifth day following SNP injection. SNP infusion rate was significantly higher in patients who developed CNS toxicity. It was suggested that systemic hypertension is the most common predisposing factor for AD. The combination of SNP with a β-receptor blocker is a medical therapy commonly used in patients with AD. Cyanide and thio-cyanate toxicity from SNP treatment is always the consequence of prolonged drug infusion or relatively high dose administration.展开更多

Methods: Forty-two patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) were randomly assigned to receive SNP 300μg or the control drugs (papaverine 30mg+phentolamine 1mg) intracavemously crosswise one week apart. The penile length, circumference and hardness after the administration of the experimental and control drugs were assessed and compared statistically. Results: (1)There was no significant difference between the changes in penile length and circumference in the two occasions; (2)In 25 SNP and 28 control cases, the hardness of the penis was scored above 100 as evaluated by the Virag method (P>0.05);(3)The duration of erection in the controls was longer than that in the SNP, but there were three priapism in the controls and not a single one in the SNP; (4)there was no apparent change in the heart rate and blood pressure in both occasions; other side effects were minimal except slight local pain in a few controls. Conclusion: SNP facilitates relaxation of the penile smooth muscle and penile erection without significant side effects. SNP may be used in ED patients that experience pain and priapism with papaverine/phentolamine.(Asian J Androl 2000 Dec;2:301-303)展开更多

Methods: Patients with acute coronary syndrome who underwent PCI and had no reflow in Gong'an County People's Hospital in Hubei Province between August 2014 and July 2017 were selected as the research subjects and randomly divided into two groups, combined group accepted intracoronary sodium nitroprusside and tirofiban injection during PCI, and control group accepted intracoronary tirofiban injection during PCI. The serum levels of myocardial injury indexes, oxidative stress indexes and inflammatory mediators of the two groups were measured before treatment and 1 d after treatment. Results: 1 d after treatment, serum CK-MB, H-FABP, sFas, cMyBP-C, MPO, MDA, Caspase-3, MCP-1, IL-1β, IL-18, MMP2 and MMP9 levels of both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment whereas SOD and NQO-1 levels were higher than those before treatment, and serum CK-MB, H-FABP, sFas, cMyBP-C, MPO, MDA, Caspase-3, MCP-1, IL-1β, IL-18, MMP2 and MMP9 levels of combined group were significantly lower than those of control group whereas SOD and NQO-1 levels were higher than those control group. Conclusion: Intracoronary sodium nitroprusside and tirofiban injection can reduce the myocardial injury in patients with no reflow in PCI.展开更多

[Method] Exogenous sodium nitroprusside was used to in the experiment. Under the condition of 20 ℃ and RH 95%, the optimal SNP concentration of broccoli was determined. [Result] The exogenous SNP could effectively maintain the quality of broccoli, inhabited the yellowing of broccoli and the increasing of cell membrane permeability, and maintain the soluble solids content, decreased the degradation rate of chlorophyll and delayed the loss of VC. [Conclusion] Exogenous sodium nitroprusside can effectively maintain the quality of broccoli to keep it fresh.展开更多

METHODS: Relaxation responses of ISDN, and electrical fi eld stimulation (EFS) were obtained before and after tolerance induction by ISDN incubation. RESULTS: ISDN (10-7-10-4 mol/L) and SNP (10-8-10-4 mol/L) caused a concentration-dependent relaxation on the basal tonus of the isolated rabbit IAS strips. After a period of 2 h incubation of the 6 x 10-4 mol/L ISDN the relaxation effects of ISDN and SNP did not change compared to control strips. EFS evoked frequency-dependent relaxation in internal anal sphincter smooth muscle and Emax obtained from control strips were not changed in ISDN tolerance-inducing condition. In this study nitrate tolerance was not observed in rabbit IAS smooth muscle. CONCLUSION: This result shows that nitric oxide donating drugs relaxes the internal anal sphincter of the rabbits without the development of tolerance.展开更多
