Regional pulse wave velocities in hypertensive and normotensive humans (1990)

Ting, C T, Chang, M S, Wang, S P, Chiang, B N, Yin, Frank C P

Study objective – The aim was to compare regional wave transmission and reflection properties along the aorta in age matched normotensive and hypertensive subjects. Design – Simultaneous upstream...

Arterial hemodynamics in human hypertension.

Ting, C T, Brin, K P, Lin, S J, Wang, S P, Chang, M S, Chiang, B N, ...

Differences in aortic impedance between normotensives and hypertensives are not well characterized. We examined impedance in 8 normotensive and 11 hypertensive (mean 96.7 vs. 122.2 mmHg) age-matched,...

Variable diastolic rumbling murmur caused by floating left atrial thrombus.

Chen, C C, Hsiung, M C, Chiang, B N

A 53 year old man with a history of rheumatic mitral stenosis was admitted to hospital because of recurrent fainting spells. Auscultation showed a variable diastolic rumbling murmur. Simultaneous...

The mechanisms of inhibitory effects of liver extract on lymphocyte proliferation: II. Inhibition of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis and their relationship to the effects of metabolic inhibitors.

Su, H L, Huang, M H, Yu, C L, Han, S H, Chiang, B N, Wang, S R

The inhibitory effects of liver extract (LEx) on DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis in phytohaemagglutinin (PHA)-stimulated lymphocytes were studied by measuring the incorporation of labelled...

Mitochondrial respiration inhibitors and human sperm motility: implication in the development of spermicides.

Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N, Wei, Y H

Three inhibitors of the mitochondrial respiratory chain, rotenone, antimycin A, potassium cyanide and the uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation, 2,4-dinitrophenol, were tested for their sperm...

Local anaesthetic effect of antiarrhythmic drugs and human sperm immobilization: mechanism and application of the interrelationship.

Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N

Sperm immobilizing activity of three class I antiarrhythmic drugs, quinidine, procainamide, mexiletine, one adrenoceptor blocking drug, labetalol and one calcium channel blocking drug, diltiazem was...

Calcium antagonists stimulate sperm motility in ejaculated human semen.

Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N, Ku, J, Wei, Y H, Fong, J C

Three calcium antagonists, diltiazem, flunarizine and verapamil stimulated human sperm motility in vitro. Among them, diltiazem induced the largest amplitude of motility increase. The...

Involvement of calcium in the caffeine stimulation of human sperm motility.

Hong, C Y, Chiang, B N, Wu, P, Wei, Y H, Fong, J C

The shape of the concentration-response curve and the amplitude of maximal motility increase for the stimulatory effect of caffeine on human sperm motility were similar to those of EGTA, a calcium...

Termination of digitalis-induced ventricular tachycardias by clonidine involves central alpha 2-adrenoceptors in cats.

Chen, S. A., Liu, R. H., Ting, T. H., Chang, M. S., Chiang, B. N., Kuo, J. S.

1. Effects of intravenous (i.v.) and intravertebral arterial (i.a.) administration of the alpha 2-adrenoceptor agonist, clonidine (Clon) and its antagonist, yohimbine (Yoh, 0.5 mg kg-1, i.v.; 0.05 mg...
