To investigate relationship between birth-weight of parents and fetal macrosomia and its genetic susceptibility. A case-control study with 237 macrosomia and 257 normal birth-weight babies was conducted to retrospectively analyze their parents' birth weight and mothers' conditions during pregnancy. Multivariate non-conditional logistic regression analysis showed that risk of macrosomia increased with increase in maternal birth-weight (OR = 1. 707, 95% CI: 1. 145 - 2. 545) and paternal birth-weight (OR = 1.979, 95%CI:1.306 -2.998). Macrosomia is fetal obesity and related to multi-gene susceptibility with heritability of 74.48%. Maternal effect on macrosomia may come from her obesity gene and intrauterine condition, while paternal effect mainly exhibits by his obesity gene carriage.

Objective To investigate the relationship between changes in Ca2+ concentration and unit discharge in the hippocampal neurons of epileptic rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy male Wistar rats were divided into three groups. Rats of the epilepsy group received an intraperitoneal injection of benzylpenicllin sodium at 6 million unit/kg; Rats of the epilepsy pretreatment group received 20 mg/kg of flunarizine at 14 and 2 hours before injection of benzylponicllin;the control group of rats received an intraperitoneal injection of normal saline.Three groups of rats were euthanized after recording of the unit discharge,and bilateral hippocampal cells were obtained to measure the cellular concentration of Ca2+ fluorescence using the new generation Ca2+ fluorescent dye Fluo-3-AM and flow cytometry.Results (1) A total of 24 units of hippocampal discharges were recorded in the control group.The average concentration Ca2+ fluorescence of the hippocampal neurons was 37.12±5.08.(2)A total of 78 units of hippocampal discharges were recorded in the epilepsy group.The average concentration of Ca2+fluorescence of the hippocampal neurons was 52.04±6.75.(3)A total of 47 units of hippocampal discharges were recorded in the epilepsy pretreatment group. The average concentration of Ca2+ fluorescence of the hippocampal neurons was 37.79±3.09.The correlation coefficient between the average concentration of Ca2+ fluorescence of the hippocampal neurons and the number of units of hippocampal discharge ( r=0.737,P＜0.01).Conclusion There is a positive correlation between changes in average concentration of Ca2+ fluorescence of the hippocampal neurons and the numbers of units of hippocampal discharge.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of sufentanil combined with propofol for video-assisted endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy.Methods Twenty ASA I or II patients of both sexes aged 17-40 yr weighing 52-75 kg undergoing video-assisted endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy were enrolled in this study.Anesthesia was induced with propofol 2.0-2.5 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.5 μg/kg.Tracheal intubation was facilitated with atracurium 0.6 mg/kg.The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT=8-10 ml/kg,RR=10-12 bpm,I:E =1:2,FiO2=80%).Anesthesia was maintained with infusion of propofol 2-4 mg·kg-1·h-1 and sufentsnil 0.2-0.3/.μg·kg-1 h-1 and intermittent iv boluses of atracurium.At the 30 rain before the end of operation propofol infusion was reduced to 1-2 mg.kg-1·h-1 and sufentanil infusion to 0.1 μg·kg-1 h-1 .BP (SP,DP) and HR were recorded and venous blood samples were taken before induction of anesthesia (baseline),at tracheal intubation at the moment of CO2 insnfflation 10 min and 30 min after CO2 insufflation,5 min after deflation and at extubation for determination of plasma corticesteroid,aldosterone and glucose levels.The duration from termination of infusion of the anesthetics to recovery of spontaneous breathing,eye opening at command and tracheal extubation were recorded.Results SP,DP and HR were within the normal range.Plasma levels of comcesteroid,aldosterone and blood glucose were significantly increased during operation as compared with the baseline values.The duration from termination of infusion of the anesthetics to recovery of spontaneous breathing,eye opening at command and tracheal extubation were4.5±1.9,6.4±2.7 and (12.6±1.5)min respectively.Conclusion Sufentanil 0.1-0.3 μ·kg-1·h-1 combined with propofol 1-4 mg·kg-1.h-1 can inhibit stress response during video-assisted endoscopic transthoracic sympathectomy with stable hemodynamics.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for death within 30 days of stroke associated pneumonia(SAP) in elderly patients of the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods Clinical data of 116 patients with SAP who were admitted to ICU were reviewed.The predicting factors of death within 30 days were analyzed through variable analysis method.Results The hospitalization periods of the SAP group and control group were (27±8) d and (12±5) d,the difference was statistically significant(t =1 1.30,P =0.002).The most common pathogenic bacteria in SAP were Klebsiella pneumoniae,Bauman Acinetobacter,Escherichia coli,and gram negative bacteria.There was significant difference between the two groups in term of mortality rate(37.9％(44/ 116) of SAP group,22.0％ (22/100) of control group,x2 =6.423,P =0.011).Logistic regression analysis showed that basic diseases(OR =2.778,95％ CI:1.205-6.401),high CRUB-65 score (OR =1.978,95％ CI:0.871-11.098),lower Glasgow coma score(GCS) (OR=3.601,95％CI:0.244-9.477),bucking(OR=3.020,95％CI:1.305-10.603),mechanical ventilation(OR=2.654,95％CI:1.176-5.990),shock(OR=2.636,95％ CI:1.164-5.969) and high plasma CRP level(OR=2.333,95％CI:1.046-5.206) were risk factors for SAP (all P＜0.05).In Cox regression analysis,a GCS score of ＜ 9 was an independent risk factor for 30 d mortality of patientswithSAP(HR=7.23,95％Cl:2.24-20.11,P=0.001).Conclusion SAP is one of the serious complications of the elderly hospitalized for the acute stroke in the ICU,which may affect the prognosis of the patients.

OBJECTIVE: To prepare podophyllotoxin-loaded solid lipid (PPT-SLN) gel and establish its quality control method. METHODS: With stearic acid, stearylamine, soybean lecithin as cosurfactant and PPT as principal agent, PPT-SLN suspension was prepared by the method of emulsion evaporation and solidification at a low temperature, then prepared into PPT-SLN gel with carbomer used as gel matrix. The physicochemical properties of the preparation were investigated, the content and entrapment efficiency of PPT were determinated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. The stability of the preparation was investigated as well. RESULTS: PPT-SLN gel appeared as lacte translucent semisolid, with its property and test results all in conformity with the related specification in Chinese Pharmacopoia (2005 edition). The nanoparticles were well-distributed in round or oval shape, with an average particle size of (105.3?34.7) nm, entrapment efficiency of 72.5% and pH value of (7.2?0.3). The preparation was stable within 6 months under room temperature. CONCLUSION: The preparation technology of PPT-SLN gel is feasible and its quality is controlable.

Objective To study the distribution pattern of liposome podophyllotoxin(LP)in rat skin.Methods The rats were divided into two groups:0.5%liposome podophyllotoxin suspension was ap-plied to LP group,0.5%podophyllotoxin tincture was applied to control group.The skin specimens were ob-tained1?2?4?6?12and24h after drug application,the amount of fluorescent stain was observed under con-focal laser scanning microscope and converted to the values of area under the curve(AUC).Results The epidermal AUC of fluorescent amount in LP group was1.5-fold than that in control group,dermal AUC was2.3-fold higher.The unit area fluorescent amount in both epidermis and dermis was highest2hours after topical medication in control group(1585.52/?m 2 and2005.66?m 2 ),and quickly reduced after4hours.But the epidermal and dermal unit area fluorescent amount in LP group was rather low in4hours after topi-cal medication,and gradually increased after6hours,and peaked after12hours(750.28/?m 2 and1073.08/?m 2 ).Conclusion Liposome preparation of podophyllotoxin can be slowly released and lasts longer in the skin.
