Objective: To study the effects of halothane and sevoflurane on myocardial function and energy metabolism. Method:The model of Langendorff perfused isolated rat heart was used to investigate the effects of halothane and sevoflurane on HR,LVEDP,LVDP,+dp/dt,-dp/dt and coronary flow(CF)before and after ischemia. and the myocardial ATP content were measured with HPLC before ischemia and 10 min after ischemia and at the end of reperfusion. Result: 1.5 MAC sevoflurane significantly increased CF in normal isolated rat hearts. Both halothane and sevoflurane differently depressed myocardial contratile function,increased normal myocardial energy storage. At 10th min of ischemia the decrease of myocardial ATP content was delayed by halothane and sevoflurane. At the end of reperfusion,the both anesthetics improved the recovery of myocardial function and matebolism,especially sevoflurane. Conclusion: Both anesthetics can protect myocardium from ischemic reperfusion injury through improving post-ischemic myocardial energy recovery.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of balloon kyphoplasty combined with physiotherapy in the treatment of osteoporotic vetcrbral compression fractures (OVCFs). Methods A retrospective review was of 12 OVCF cases ( including 16 fracture vertebrae) treated with balloon kyphoplasty was performed. Each patient had also been treated with anti-osteoporotic medication and the Rehabilitation of Osteoporosis Program-Exercise (ROPE) protocol, and each had received a six-month follow-up visit. The following parameters were recorded before the operation and 1 day and 6 months afterward : fracture recurrence, the severity of pain before and after treatment, and the change of vertebral height. The severity of pain was evaluated by using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Results During the treatment, no complication or adverse event was found. The average VAS values preoperation, postoperation and at the 6-month follow-up were 7.6±1.3, 2.1±1.2 and 2.6±1.4, respectively. The average changes in vertebral height preoperation, postoperation and at the 6-month follow-up were 49.2±18% , 74.3 ±14% and 69.8±16% respectively. All of the measures evaluated improved noticeably after the combined treatment. Conclusion Balloon kyphoplasty combined with anti-osteoporotie medication and physiotherapy showed good effects in the treatment of osteoporotic veterbral compression fractures.

Objective:To prove the production process( pulverzation processing) by stainless steel pharmaceutical machines of tra-ditional Chinese medicines, including various batches of raw materials, decoction pieces, patent drugs and medicinal subsidiary materi-als, lead to heavy metal chromium exceed the standard. Methods:According to ChP 2010 version Vol 1 appendixⅨB“lead, cad-mium, arsenic, mercury, copper determination method”, referring to ChP 2010 version Vol 2 gelatin capsules “chrome check stand-ard”. Results:Most of the test data showed that the chromium content of the sample exceeded the standard in varying degrees. Con-clusion:Pharmaceutical machinery and equipment using stainless steel lead to chromium exceed the standard in Chinese medicine pro-duction process, bring hidden trouble to the quality of the products.

Objective To detect the expression of FoxO1 and FoxO3a in liver and muscle tissue from KKAy diabetic mice.Methods Study group consists of 7 KKAy diabetic mice until 12 weeks,thereafter fed high fat diet for 4 weeks.It was diagnosed as diabetes when blood glucose was more than(16.7 mmol/L) in two consequent weeks.Control group consists of 7 C57BL mice 16 week old.Dispatched the mice and took quadriceps of femoris muscle and liver tissue to detect the FoxO1 and FoxO3a protein expression by Western blot with antibody.Results Liver and muscle FoxO1 expression was higher in KKAy diabetic mice than that in C57BL mice.FoxO3a expression was much higher in liver than in muscle in both groups.Muscle FoxO3a expression was higher in KKAy diabetic mice than that in control mice.Conclusion FoxO1 and FoxO3a in liver and muscle expressed differently in diabetic mice and control mice.They may play a role in mechanisms of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To detect protein PTEN in live and muscle tissue of KKAy diabetic mice and to investigate whether PTEN is associated with the insulin resistance in diabetic KKAy mice.Methods Animals were divided into normal diet C57BL group(n=7,sixteen-week-old C57BL mice),high fat diet C57BL group(n=7),diabetic KKAy group(n=7),the latter two groups were fed with normal diet until week 12,followed by high fat diet for 4 weeks.Blood glucose was measured every week,it would be diagnosed of diabetes if blood glucose more than 300 mg/dl(16.7 mmol/L) in two consecutive weeks.Dispatched the mice,took quadriceps of femoris muscle and liver tissue,added tissue lytic solution,measured the protein concentration by Bradford method and detect the PTEN protein expression in muscle and liver tissue by Western bolts methods.Results The PTEN protein level was significantly increased in quadriceps muscle and live tissue in KKAy mice as compared to the both age-matched C57BL control groups(P

Objective To explore the application value of diffusion-weighted imaging(DWI) in distinction of skull base chordoma from chondrosarcoma.Methods The clinical data and imaging findings of basicranial tumor confirmed by pathology,including 14 patients with classic chordoma,9 with poorly differentiated chordoma and 18 with chondrosarcoma were analyzed retrospectively.The lesion location,enhancement patterns,signal intensity on T2 WI relative to gray matter,and apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values were reviewed.The enhancement pattern was scored as 0 (little or non-enhancement),1 (heterogeneous enhancement),or 2 (homogeneous enhancement in ≥90％area).The data were analysed by Kruskal-Wallis test.Results There were significant differences in the mean,minimum and maximum ADC values,the intensity on T2 WI and the enhancement pattern among the three tumor types (P ＜0.05).However,the differences in the score of enhancement pattern and lesion location were not found (P＞0.05).Conclusion DWI may be helpful for the diagnosis of skull base chordoma from chondrosarcoma,and the accuracy rate will be improved when combined with T2WI intensity.

Purpose To study the clinicopathologic features and differential diagnosis of primary mucosal melanoma of the nasal cavity (PMMNC).Methods 17 cases of PMMNC diagnosed from January 2003 to September 2016 were studied by clinical pathological analysis and immunohistochemical staining,and relevant literatures were reviewed.Results 73％ of the PMMNC was characterized by unilateral nasal congestion and intermittent epistaxis and 61％ of the PMMNC occurred in the nasal septum and nasal side wall.Microscopically,the organizational structure and morphology were complex and diverse,which had several cell types including epithelioid cell type (6cases,35.3％),spindle cell type (3 cases,17.6％) and snall cell type (5 cases,29.4％),the other 3 cases (17.6％)were mixed cell type.Mitotic activity and tumor necrosis were more likely to be seen in PMMNC,among other clinicopathological features with a small amount of fibrous stroma and melanoma and rich blood vessels.The immunohistochemical study showed that the positive rate of S-100 and HMB-45 were both 93.8％(15 cases) and those of Melan-A and vimentin were both 87.5％ (14 cases),while CK and EMA were both negative (16 cases).Conclusion PMMNC is a rare disease and the phenotype of S-100,HMB-45,Melan-A and vimentin are useful for diagnosis of PMMNC.
