Objective To analyze the related factors of ovario - cystic rupture during laparoscopic surgery of benign ovary tumor and to investigate the prognosis. Methods 110 patients who received laparoscopic surgery for ovary tumor were retrospectively analyzed. Results A total of 68 benign ovarian cyst was successfully removed with- out intra-operative rupture , while 42 were intra-operative ruptured. Mean surgical time was significantly longer in rupture group. The incidence of ovarian cystic rupture was related to the removal of left-side tumor and cyst and pel- vic adhesions,whereas no correlation was observed with patients'ages,size of cyst, gravidity,and parity,volume of bleeding,post surgical menstruation alteration,abdominal pain,and cyst rupture. Conclusion Skill,experience in laparoscopic practices and the usage of laparoscopic bag help to avoid cystic rupture. When rupture occurs, timely cleanness with saline can decrease post-surgery complications and does not affect subsequent pregnancy.

Objective To elucidate the relationship between Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinaseⅡ(CaMKⅡ)and autophagy during the development of cardiac hypertrophy. Methods Rat embryonic cardiac cell line H9c2 cells was treated by angiotensin Ⅱ to establish cardiomyocyte hypertrophy model in vitro and using antagonists and gene function gain and loss to analyze AMPK-LC3Ⅱ autophagy signaling pathway. Results The phosphorylation of CaMKⅡ and autophagy related signaling-AMPK and autophagy marker LC3Ⅱ were rapidly increased by angiotensinⅡtreatment at early stage. However ,the above changes were highly blocked by CaMKⅡinhibitor and HDAC4 inhibition. Conclusion CaMKⅡ is the center factor of regulating cardiac hypertrophy ,it mediates autophagy through directly regulating AMPK or indirectly regulating HDAC4 during the development of cardiac hypertrophy.

Objective To investigate the effects of low-dose ketamine combined with fentanyl or sulfentanyl in postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia.Methods Two hundred cases with ASA Ⅰ~Ⅱ undergoing elective orthopedic operations were randomly allocated into four groups(50 cases for each group): 0.4?g/(kg?h) fentanyl(group F);0.2?g/(kg?h) fentanyl+120?g/(kg?h) ketamine(group FK);0.04?g/(kg?h) sulfentanyl(group S);and 0.02?g/(kg?h) sulfentanyl+120 ?g/(kg?h) ketamine(group SK).8mg of ondansetron was added to each recipe,and then diluted into 100ml with normal saline.The loading doses of all the patient-controlled-analgesics were 2ml administered 30min before the end of the operation.The background infusion doses were 2ml/h,while the pressing doses were 2ml,with intervals of 30min.Heart rate(HR),blood pressure(BP),respiration rate(RR),pulse O2 saturation and visual analogue scales(VAS),sedation score(SS) with adverse effects and the total times of pressing PCA pump button were observed and recorded in all patients respectively for 48h after operations.Results No statistically significant differences were found in HR,BP and RR among the four groups.VAS and the total pressing times in group F were higher than that in the other groups significantly(P

Retrospective analysis was performed for 68 sacroiliac joint pain patients treated at our hospital from June 2007 to March 2012.And 27 patients received sacroiliac joint ozone injection,and others anti-inflammatory and analgesic solution.Both methods can significantly relieve sacroiliac joint pain (P ＜ 0.05).However there was no inter-group difference (P ＞ 0.05).No difference existed in efficacy [(0.51 ±0.03) vs.(0.34 ±0.06) cm],treatment frequency (1.98 ±0.94) vs.(1.82 ±0.88) or hospitalization duration [(14.6 ± 7.0) vs.(14.9 ± 6.4) days] between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).Thus sacroiliac joint ozone injection can significantly relieve sacroiliac joint pain and its effect is similar to anti-inflammatory analgesic injection.

BACKGROUND: Treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) with herbs-partition moxibustion is of good intervenient effect, whether the effect is related to neutrophil apoptosis in the pathogenic process of UC?OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of neutrophil appptosis rate of rats with UC and the regulative effect of medicinal cake moxibustion. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial based on SD rats.SETTING: Shanghai Research Institute of Acupuncture and Meridian.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed from August 2002 to June 2003. A total of 30 healthy male SD rats of clean grade, weighing (140±20) g,provided by Experimental Animal Center of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, were at random divided into 2 groups: model building group (n=20) and normal control group (n=10).METHODS: Rat UC models were set up with immunological method. After the models were successively set up, four model rats and two normal rats were randomly selected for pathological observation of distal colon tissue. The rest models were divided as model group and herbs-partition moxibustion group with 8 rats for each, and the rest 8 normal rats were taken as control group. The rats of herbs-partition moxibustion group were given herbs-partition moxibustion at tian shu (ST-25) of both sides and qi hai (CV-6) points; the herbs cones was made from Radix Aeoniti Praeparata,Cortex Cinnamoni, and so on. About 90 mg moxa cone was put on the herbs cones for moxibustion, once a day, for 10 times. After treatment, all rats of the three group were executed, then the peripheral monocytes were isolated for cell culture. A 1:50 diluted supernatants of each group were taken, and the same volume of RPMI-1640 culture fluid was used as blank control group. They were respectively incubated together with neutrophils of peripheral blood of normal rats. The neutrophil apoptosis rates were measured by using flow cytometry.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison of neutrophil apoptosis rates of rats in each group.RESULTS: Totally 20 rats in model group and 10 in normal control group were accepted. Then 4 rats in model group and 2 in normal group were sacrificed and observed with tissue pathology, and 16 and 8 rats entered the final analysis in model and normal control groups respectivelly. ① The neutrophil apoptosis rate of UC rats was significantly lower that that of rats in blank control group [(16.34±2.80) ％, (52.33±9.94) ％, q= -35.99, P＜ 0.01]; but there was no significant diffenence between normal control group [(48.79±11.33) ％] and blank control group, (P＞0.05). ② After treatment the neutrophil apoptosis rate of herbs-partition moxibustion group [(36.03±8.31) ％] was significantly higher than that of UC model group (q=19.69, P ＜ 0.01), but it was still lower than that of normal control group (q= -16.30, P ＜ 0.05).CONCLUSION: One of the main mechanism for herbs-partition moxibustion to treat UC might be regulating and/or reducing the inhibited state of neutrophil apoptosis in UC.

In order to study whether patients with schizophrenia have cerebral injury, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and myelin basic protein (MBP)in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 33 patients with first episode schizophrenia and 9 from the control group were determined by double antibody sandwich enzyme immunoassay method. The results showed that there was significant difference in the NSE contents between the experimental group and control group (P<0.01). The NSE contents in CSF in the experimental group were positively correlated with MBP in schizophrenia patients (P< 0. 05). These findings suggested that patients with schizophrenia had cerebral injury.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors for healthcare-associated infection(HAI)in senile dementia pa-tients,so as to adopt effective nursing measures to reduce the incidence of HAI.Methods Clinical data of 82 senile dementia patients aged≥60 years and hospitalized between January 2011 and June 2013 were analyzed retrospective-ly.Results Of 82 patients,28 (34.15%)developed HAI.The main infection site was lower respiratory tract(n=15,53.57%),followed by urinary tract(n=6,21 .43%).Univariate analysis revealed that risk factors for HAI in senile dementia patients were bedridden,long length of hospital stay ,dysphagia,indwelling urinary catheter,irra-tional use of antimicrobial agents,combined with tumor,and hypoproteinemia (all P <0.05 ).The main isolated bacteria were gram-negative bacilli(n=40,62.50%),the top three pathogens were Klebsiella pneumoniae (n=12, 18.75%),Escherichia coli (n =10,15.63%),and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n =8,12.50%).Conclusion Reali-zing the risk factors and common pathogens of HAI in senile dementia patients is helpful for taking effective meas-ures to prevent and control the incidence of HAI .

Objective:To assess the effects of direct moxibustion on 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) and clinical symptoms of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in elderly patients with essential hypertension, and to explore the antihypertensive effect and influencing factors of moxibustion. Methods:A total of 101 elderly hypertension patients who met the inclusion criteria were randomly assigned to a direct moxibustion I group (n=33), a direct moxibustion II group (n=34), and a control group (n=34). The treatment of calcium antagonist (CCB) orangiotensin II receptor antagonist (ARB) was adopted in the control group. The treatment of direct moxibustion I plus the same medicine as the control group were adopted in the direct moxibustion I group, five cones per acupoint and three times per week, for 5 weeks in total. The treatment of direct moxibustion II plus the same medicine as the control groupwere adopted in the direct moxibustion II group, five cones per acupoint and three times per week, for 5 weeks in total. The changes of 24-hour ABP and clinical symptoms of TCM after treatment were compared in the three groups. Results: The mean 24-hour ambulatory systolic blood pressure (mean 24 h ASBP), night ASBP, percentage of mean 24-hour ambulatory diastolic blood pressure (mean 24 h ADBP)>90 mmHg, and percentage of day ADBP>90 mmHg in the control group were elevated after treatment (P<0.05). The percentage of night ADBP>80 mmHg in the direct moxibustion I group was reduced by treatment (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in the other outcome measures of 24 h ABP, such as day ASBP, percentage of mean 24 h ASBP>140 mmHg, percentage of day ASBP>140 mmHg, percentage of night ASBP>120 mmHg , mean 24 h ADBP, day ADBP, night ADBP, 24 h ambulatory pulse pressure (APP), after treatment in all groups (P>0.05). The degree of improvement of the clinical symptoms of TCM showed significant differences among the three groups of patients (P<0.01). The total effective rate in the direct moxibustion I group was 73.3%, which was superior to those in the direct moxibustion II group and control group (13.3% and 10.0%, respectively). Conclusion:The direct moxibustion has benign regulative effect on blood pressure of elderly patients with essential hypertension, and improves their clinical symptoms. The direct moxibustion method I (burning the next moxa cone after the previous one had totally burnt out) was superior to method II (burning the next moxa cone when the previous one had not totally burnt out ) in lowering blood pressure and improving symptoms of elderly patients with essential hypertension.

AIM: To investigate the relation between myocardial remodeling and the genesis of serum anti-?_3-adrenoceptor autoantibody,an animal model of heart failure(HF) was established and the biological effects of the autoantibody were observed.METHODS:(1) Healthy male Wistar rats were subjected to HF by constricting the abdominal aorta.(2) The anti-?_3-adrenoceptor autoantibody in the sera of HF rats was detected by ELISA with the synthetic peptide of the second extracellular loop of the ?_3-adrenoceptor used as the antigen.(3) IgG in the positive sera from HF rats was prepared using a MabTrap Kit(Amersham).(4) The effects of the autoantibody on the contractile response of adult(isolated) cardiomyocytes and on the beating rate of cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were observed.RESULTS:(1) The positive rate of anti-?_3-adrenoceptor autoantibody of rats increased from 21.05% of pretreatment to 78.95% after heart failure(P

Objective: To investigate the mechanisms of moxibustion in the treatment of the colonic fibrosis in ulcerative colitis (UC) by observing the colonic fibroblast (CFB) synthesizing and secreting collagen in ulcerative colitis fibrosis rats. Methods: A rat model of ulcerative colitis fibrosis was established by immunological methods using human colonic mucosa as antigen adding local stimulation. The rats were randomly divided into normal group, model group, herb-partition moxibustion group, mild-warm moxibustion group and western medicine group (SASP group). Herb-partitioned moxibustion group and mild-warm moxibustion group treated by herb-partitioned moxibustion and mild-warm moxibustion respectively on Qihai (CV 6) and Tianshu (ST 25, bilateral) points. SASP group fed with salicylazosulfapyridine. Colonic fibroblasts from all the rats were isolated and cultured and the effects of moxibustion on the colonic fibroblast synthesizing and secreting type I, III, and IV collagen were observed. Results: The supernatant of cultured CFB from UC rats could stimulate the CFB of normal rats to secrete type I, III, and IV collagens. The supernatant from rats treated by herb-partitioned moxibustion and mild-warm moxibustion inhibited the secretion of type I , III, and IV collagens of CFB in normal rats. And the western medicine group also had some inhibiting effects on the type I and HI collagens. Conclusion: Moxibustion can regulate the functions of CFB synthesizing and secreting type I, III, and IV collagens in ulcerative colitis fibrosis rats.
