METHODS: Patients were allocated into 4 groups: mild-to-moderate liver disease (MLD), advanced liver disease (ALD), patients undergoing liver transplantation, and healthy controls. Blood was collected to determine plasma renin activity (PRA), angiotensin (Ang) Ⅰ, Ang Ⅱ, and Ang-(1-7) levels using radioimmunoassays. During liver transplantation, hemodynamic parameters were determined and blood was simultaneously obtained from the portal vein and radial artery in order to measure RAS components. RESULTS: PRA and angiotensins were elevated in ALD when compared to MLD and controls (P 〈 0.05). In contrast, Ang Ⅱ was significantly reduced in MLD. Ang-(1-7)/Ang Ⅱ ratios were increased in MLD when compared to controls and ALD. During transplantation, Ang Ⅱ levels were lower and Ang-(1-7)/Ang Ⅱ ratios were higher in the splanchnic circulation than in the peripheral circulation (0.52 ± 0.08 vs 0.38 ±0.04, P 〈 0.02), whereas the peripheral circulating Ang Ⅱ/Ang Ⅰ ratio was elevated in comparison to splanchnic levels (0.18 ±0.02 vs 0.13 ±0.02, P 〈 0.04). Ang-(1-7)/ Ang Ⅱ ratios positively correlated with cardiac output (r = 0.66) and negatively correlated with systemic vascular resistance (r = -0.70). CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that the relationship between Ang-(1-7) and Ang Ⅱ may play a role in the hemodynamic changes of human cirrhosis.展开更多

Methods: Fifty-four new airborne were randomly divided into control group,experiment gro up one and experiment group two.10ml blood of median were col lect ed.The ANP,AngⅡand ET level were tested with RIA,and the level of emotion arous al was estimated with questionnaire.R esults : (1)There was a significant increase of plasma ANP,AngⅡ,ET durin g parachute jumping stress. (2) The score of anxiety 24 hour before jumpingwas significantly different from that of immediately after landing.Conclusion: Some kinds of psychological intervene was needed in preventing psychosomatic desease and neuroses during parachute jumping.展开更多
