Normal defecography was found in 82 cases and abnormal one in 28. The normal features of defecography in 82 patients were as follows;1.There was an increase of anorectal angle during defecation. The increase was 21. 27 degrees measured-with precise axis method and 36. 72 degrees with approximate axis method.2. Reduction or obliteration of the impression of the puborectal muscle.3. There was a shortening of the anal canal by 1. 20 cm and a widening of the caliber of the anal canal to an average of 2. 23 cm.4. The resistance of the pelvic floor was good and the decending of the perineum was smaller than 3 cm during straining. The rectovaginal septum of female subjects was not deformed during straining.5. The barium paste in the distal rectum was largely or totally evacuated with an average e-vacuation rate of 90. 55%.

An endogenous element-label plus exogenous element-tag strategy was proposed for inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ( ICP-MS) to screen and discriminate a family of ultratrace but biological important biomolecules. The feasibility of this novel idea has been demonstrated when setting seleno ( SeCys) and Se-containing ( SeMet) proteins ( peptides) as an example. Se-label naturally occurring in the biomole-cules acts an identifier for picking them up out of large amount of various coexisting proteins ( peptides) , and CH3 Hg-tag that can bind to SeCys but not SeMet fulfills the task of discriminating seleno and Se-containing ones based on the Se and Hg signals on ICP-MS. After confirmed using SeCys and GPx1, the Se-Hg dual-element labeling strategy together with ICP-MS was applied to screen and discriminate seleno and Se-contai-ning proteins ( peptides) in the water-soluble extracts of Se-enriched yeast, and seven selenoproteins ( pep-tides) were detected with both 202 Hg and 82 Se signals out of fifteen Se-containing species using RPLC/ICP-MS, providing valuable information for further identification using a high-resolution structure-selective mass spectrometer. This endogenous element-label plus exogenous element-tag dual-element approach implies that ICP-MS is not only able to quantify targeted proteins ( peptides) but also helpful to recognize targeted proteins during a discovery-based proteomic study.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of milrinone micropump in treatment of chronic heart failure(CHF),and the influence to the level of amino-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide precursor(NT-proBNP) in serum.Methods 120 cases with CHF were selected,they were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group according to a random number table.The patients of the control group were treated with standardized anti -conventional treatment of heart failure according to their heart function,the patients of the observation group were given milrinone micropump on the basis of the standardized anti-conventional treatment of heart failure.The efficacy of clinical conditions 1 week after treatment and NT-proBNP levels in serum before and after treatment were compared between two groups.Results The clinical efficacy of the observation group was 95.00%,which was higher than 76.67% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(x2 =8.67,P < 0.05).The serum level of NT-proBNP of the observation group was (38.9 ± 9.2) ng/L,which was significantly lower than (86.3 ± 32.4) ng/L of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =9.86,P < 0.05).Conclusion Milrinone micro pump used in the treatment of CHF can significantly improve the clinical efficacy,and lower the serum level of NT-proBNP,improve heart function,it is safe and reliable and worth to application in the clinical.

In order to study the status of cell apoptosis in psoriatic epidermis, we have investigated the changes of the lesions in various stages in patients with psoriasis vulgaris by using terminal deoxynueleotidyl transferase-mediation dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (TUNEL). The results showed that the highest frequency of apoptotic keratinocytes was observed in the early scaling papular lesions, and the frequency was reduced in the progressive maculo-papular lesions and the coalescent plaques successively. The frequency of hyperproliferation of epidermis was in the reverse order in comparison with the above results. These results suggest that increased apoptosis of keratinocytes is the initial change of psoriatic epidermis, then hyperproliferation of keratinoeytes follows.

Objective To evaluate accurately the cardiac output, an early post-operative indicator for the cardiac function, after cardiac surgery in the neonates with congenital heart diseases and assess the risk factors for surgery, with an aim at exploring the early strategy for decressing the mortality. Methods From January 2007 to November 2007, forty-seven consec-utive neonates with complex congenital heart diseases underwent surgical correction at Shanghai Children's medical center.There were 38 boys and 9 girls with age from 3 days to 29 days [mean age (21.98 +8.15) days] and weight from 2.6 kg to 4.2 kg [ mean (3.49±0.51 ) kg]. 15 patients had delayed sternal clousure. The operations were performed with hypothermia, deep hypothermia low flow, or deep hypothermia circulatory arrest techniques. Cardiac index (CI) was derived from pulse contour analysis and calculated with the PiCCO plus system. Meanwhile, serum cardiac troponin I ( cTnl), mixed venous oxygen saturation ( SvO_2 ) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time were measured. Finally, the risk factors for surgical treatment in survivors and that associated with an increased mortality were analyzed. The association between post-operative cardiac output and the death after surgery was examined. Results Four neonates died after surgery, with a surgical mortality of 8.5%. CIvalue in the neonates [ (2.0±0.3 ) liters per minute per square meter of body surface was less than normal 2.5±0. 3. CI was associated inversely with CPB time but had a positive correlation with SvO_2. No significant difference association between CI and cTnI was observed. The value of cTnl was associated with the type of surgical procedures. Cases for which DHCA and low flow cerebral pefusion technique were used were free from neurological complications, ischemia in the lower extremities and oli-guria. The duration of cardiopulmonary bypass, urgent state of the operation and the abnormal coronary artery were associated with high mortality in the neonates after cardiac surgery. Conclusion The cardiac output of the neonates in whom cardiac pro-cedures were performed is adequate for the the oxygen supply required by the whole body though it is slightly lower than nomad after cardiac surgery. Higher mortality in the neonates during early postoperative period may be due to the complexity of the primary diseases, prolonged cardiopulmonary bypass time, residual abnormalities and severe acidosis before operation. Various techniques for CPB and that for the myocardial protection are safe and can provide an appropriate operative field.

Objective To evaluate the effect of lidocaine and tramadol on remifentanil combined general anesthesia. Methods Eighty patients undergoing abdominal hysterectomy were divided into group LT,L,T and C by random digits table,each with 20 cases .In group LT,during induction,the patients were intravenously. In group L,only used lidocaine as introduced in group LT. In group T,only used tramadol as shown in group LT. In group C,used the same volume of saline solution. The changes of mean arterial pressure (M A P) and heart rate during the operation, dysphoria grade (RS), Ramsay score (RSS), pain score (VAS),extubation time(ET),medication and dose,complications were recorded. Results In group LT,the dosage of propofol [(450 ± 178) mg] was less (P < 0.05), ET [(15.0 ± 4.8) min] was shorter (P < 0.05),during recovery time, RS was lower, RSS was higher,the cases needad fentanyl (1 case), 48 h after operation, only 1 case needed pethidine to relieve pain was less than those in other groups (P < 0.05). In group L there was a tend that its RS and the cases needed fentanyl and fentanyl dosage were more, RSS was less than those in group T during recovery time,but 48 h after operation,the cases needed pethidine was less than that in group T. Conclusions Using lidocaine during operation may relieve pain after operation, reduce the dosage of analgesic;giving tramadol may alleviate the acute pain and lower dysphoria incidence rate after remifentanil anesthesia. Combining them will get a better effect.
