Objective To investigate effects and safety of dexmedetomidine on the prevention of abnormal mental in patients after liver transplantation.Methods 160 patients after liver transplantation were randomly divided into the two groups using the drawing method:midazolam group(n =80),dexmedetomidine group(n =80),compared the two groups of patients with general,mental abnormality and the occurrence of adverse reactions.Results There were no significant differences in the general situation (gender,age,postoperative ventilator time,ICU stay time,oper-ation time,blood FK506 concentration,APACHEII score 24 hours after operation)of the two groups of patients (P >0.05),the spirit of the abnormal rate of the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P =0.009), incidence of hypotension and hypertension in the observation group was higher than that in the control group (P =0.035,0.029).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can effectively reduce the postoperative mental disorders in patients in the early stage after liver transplantation.

Objective To discuss the clinical significance of anomalous origination of right gastric artery in interventional treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods The dynamic enhanced CT scanning of the liver with a 64-slice spiral CT unit was performed in 72 HCC patients.In arterial phase,maximum intensity projection(MIP) and volume reconstruction technique(VRT) were used to observe the origin of the right gastric artery and its relationship with the hepatic artery.The findings were compared with the angiographic results.Results Of the total 72 cases,the anomalous origin of the right gastric artery was found in 43(59.8%).The anomalous origins of the right gastric artery included proper hepatic artery(n=19),left hepatic artery(n=17),gastroduodenal artery(n=4),right hepatic artery(n=2) and common hepatic artery(n=1).The results obtained from three-dimensional reconstruction were in good accordance with angiographic findings.Conclusion The anomalously originated right gastric artery most commonly originates from the left hepatic artery.Three-dimensional reconstruction obtained from the 64-slice spiral CT scans can provide the clear and reliable images of the right gastric artery,which is very helpful for the interventional procedure.

Objective To discuss the feasibility of displaying the extrahepatic feeding arteries in hepatocellular carcinoma with the help of multi-slice spiral CT 3D reconstruction and to assess the clinical value of this technique. Methods Triple-phase enhanced CT scanning with a 64-slice spiral CT scanner was performed in 89 patients with advanced primary hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Three-dimensional reconstruction techniques,including maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR),with arterial phase images,were used to display the origination and course of both the intrahepatic and extrahepatic supplying arteries of HCC. The results were compared with the angiographic findings. Results Of 59 cases with massive type HCC,extrahepatic supplying arteries were found in 33. In 21 cases of diffuse type HCC four showed extrahepatic supplying arteries,and in nine cases of nodular type HCC only one had extra-hepatic supplying arteries. The HCC could get their extrahepatic blood supply via eight pathways. A total of 44 extrahepatic supplying arteries were detected,and 19 anomalously originated hepatic arteries were found. Conclusion The extrahepatic supplying arteries in hepatocellular carcinoma are common findings and their supplying pattern are extremely varied,which may be associated with the type and location of the tumors. Three-dimensional reconstruction technique with the help of triple-phase enhanced CT scanning on a 64-slice spiral CT scanner can provide excellent images as vivid and ideal as angiography can afford. Therefore,the times of angiography examination,the use of contrast media as well as the dose of radiation to both the patients and the physicians can be reduced as far as possible. The detailed information about extrahepatic blood supply is very useful for improving the therapeutic result of HCC.

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common diseases in critical ill patients, which is an acute-onset hypoxic condition with radiographic bilateral lung infiltration. And it can be divided into two phases in pathophysiology: an acute exudative phase combining diffuse alveolar damage and lung edema followed by a later fibro proliferative phase. The early prediction and risk assessment of patients with ARDS is still very poor in the clinical. In recent years, researchers gradually focus their research on exploration of biomarkers of ARDS. The article mainly aims to sum up the development of biomarkers exploration.

Starch a natural polymer that is characterized by cheap, regenerative, and good biodegradation is generally mixed with low density polyethylene, high density polyethylene, polypropylene, and polystryrene to prepare degradable materials. In order to relieve "white pollution" due to undegradability of plastic materials, starch is mixed with polyvinyl alcohol, polylactic acid, poly-hydroxybutyric acid, polycaprolactone, chitosan, derivatives, and other degradable polymers to prepare fully degradable biomaterials. With gradual exhaustion of petroleum and progressive depravation of environmental quality, starch that is regarded as a reinforcing agent is widely used in rubber industry. Starch is characterized by hydrophilicity, difficulty in processing, and poor compatibility to plastic materials, rubber, and other polymers, so starch is firstly modified and then mixed with polymers to make starch. This study was designed to summarize the application of starch in plastic materials, rubber, and other polymer blends and to investigate the latest research progresses of starch in polymer materials.
