Objective To compare the efficacy of sevoflurane inhalation and remifentanil-propofol anesthesia in patients undergoing total gastrectomy. Methods Forty ASA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients with gastric cancer were divided into sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia (group S) and remifentanil-propofol intravenous anesthesia(group P), with 20 cases each. Perioperative hemodynamic veriables, bispectral index (BIS) values and end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane were continuously monitored. The time of recovery from anesthesia and adverse reactions of anesthesia were recorded as well. Results Compared with those before anesthesia, BP and HR were significantly decreased (P< 0. 05). The depth of anesthesia in both groups was maintained well with BIS in 45-60 and vital signs were stable during operation. The recovery from anesthesia was quicker in group P than that in group S. The incidences of restlessness and couphing were obviously lower in group P than those in group S (P<0.05). Conclusion Either sevoflurane inhalation or remifentanil-propofol intravenous anesthesia can be used safely in total gastrectomy.

Objective To investigate the effect of nicardipine on the hepatic blood flow in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Twenty-six patients of both sexes,aged 30-64 yr,weighing 50-90 kg,with New York Heart Association Ⅱ or Ⅲ,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for elective mitral or aortic valve replacement,were randomly divided into either nicardipine group (group P,n =13) or control group (group C,n =13) using a random number table.Transesophageal echocardiography was used to measure the indexes of blood flow in the hepatic vein.Nicardipine 0.2-0.5 μg · kg-1 · min-1 was infused intravenously starting from beginning of CPB,and the infusion was stopped at termination of CPB in group P.After induction of general anesthesia,at 30 min after beginning of CPB,at 10 min before termination of CPB,and at 30 min after termination of CPB,the diameter of the right and middle hepatic veins (DR and DM),blood flow index in the right hepatic vein (QIR),blood flow index in the middle hepatic vein (QIM),and total blood flow index in the hepatic vein (QIR+M) were recorded,and the percentage of QIR+M in cardiac index (CI) (QIR+M/CI) or in QICPB (QIR+M/QICPB) was calculated.Before operation,and at 1 and 2 days after operation,blood samples were obtained from the median cubital vein for determination of total bilirubin,alanine aminotransferase,and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) levels in serum.Results Compared with group C,the serum levels of AST at 1 day after operation and serum levels of AST at 1 day after operation were significantly decreased (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in DR,DM,QIR,QIM,QIR+M,QIR+M/CI and QIR+M/QICPB at each time point in group P (P>0.05).Conclusion Nicardipine (0.2-0.5 μg · kg-1 · min-1) infused intravenously during CPB exerts no effect on the hepatic blood flow,and it is not related to the improvement in hepatic function in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.

Objective To discuss the effects of silencing of iASPP gene on human bladder cancer cells. Methods RNAi silencing of iASPP gene in bladder cancer cell 5637 and T24 cells were used by lentiviral mediated interfering short hairpin RNAs. Cell proliferation was tested by MTT assay, and rate of colony was tested by colony formation assay. Cell cycles were tested by using fluorescence-activated cell sorting. Results Down-regulation of iASPP could inhibit the growth and proliferation of human bladder cancer cells (P<0.05). iASPP know-down could decrease the colony formation of 5637 and T24 cells (P<0, 05). Knocking down of iASPP in 5637 and T24 cells showed cell arrested at G1. Conclusions Silencing of iASPP gene could inhibit proliferation and colony formation of bladder cancer, iASPP might be an important target for gene therapy of bladder cancer.

Objective To observe expressions of mRNA for Par-4 and WT1 in bone marrow cells from acute leukemia patients and non-leukemia patients, and to approach the correlation between CR rate and Par-4, WT1 expression level. Methods To detect Par-4 and WT1 mRNA expression level in bone marrow cells from 78 acute leukemia patients and 23 non-leukemia patients by means of Real-time Fluorescent Quantitation RT-PCR. Results FQ-RT-PCR result showed that Par-4 mRNA was expressed in bone marrow cells from 78 acute leukemia patients and 23 non-leukemia patients. Compared with control groups, the expression levels of Par-4 mRNA were significantly suppressed (9.35×10-4±8.4×10-5, P <0.05). Compared with initial treatment groups and relapse groups, the expression levels of Par-4 mRNA in remission groups were significantly up-regulated (1.26×10-3±1.1×10-4) but were still significantly lower than that in control groups (3.25×10-3±2.9×10-4). There was no significance difference between initial treatment groups and relapse groups. No apparent association was found between Par-4 expression level and CR rate (P >0.05). WT1 gene was overexpressed in bone marrow cells from acute leukemia patients(2.98× 10-3±2.1×10-4), but the expression levels of WT1 mRNA were significantly lower in bone marrow cells from control groups (7.25×10-5±6.7×10-6,P <0.05). Compared with initial treatment groups and relapse groups, the expression levels of WT1 mRNA in remission groups were significantly down-regulated (6.86×10-4±5.2× 10-5) but were still significantly higher than that in control groups. There was no significant difference between initial treatment groups and relapse groups.There was significant difference between different WT1 expression levels and CR rates (P <0.05). Conclusion The result of FQ-RT-PCR testing confirmed that Par-4 mRNA expression is lower, while WT1 is higher in acute leukemia. Par-4 and WT1 gene present mutually exclusive expression patterns. There was no apparent association between Par-4 expression level and CR rate.

Objective To compare the biomechanical stability of the multiaxial inter-vertebral and vertebral pedicle screw fixation in vertebral fracture fixation of the spinal fracture model. Methods Six lumbar fracture models were made on fresh calf lumbar spine specimens at L1 -L5 to compare the stability of four transpedicular multiaxial screws and six transpedicular multiaxial screws by examining the range of motion (ROM) in flexion, extension, lateral bending and torsion. Results Biomechanical experiment found that four multiaxial screws transpedicular fixation specimen exhibited a significantly larger ROM in flexion and extension than the intact specimens; while six multiaxial transpedicular screw fixation specimen exhibited a smaller ROM than the intact specimens (t =4. 844,P <0. 01 ;t =3. 722,P <0.05 ). The ROM of six multiaxial transpedicular screw fixation specimen was significantly smaller than that of four multiaxial transpedicular screw fixation specimen in flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation ( P < 0. 01 ). Conclusions Compared with four multiaxial transpedicular screw fixation, six multiaxial transpedicular screw fixation exhibits a significantly larger stability in flexion, extension, lateral bending and rotation, as provides theoretical basis for treatment of thoracolumbar fractures with pedicular screw fixation.
