Objective To explore if Ulinastai reverses hepatofibrosis in rats.Method Rat hepatofibrosis models were induced by TAA subcutaneously injection.18 rats with hepatofibrosis were divided into 2 groups,Ulinastai treatment group (9 rats),normal saline control group (9 rats).AST,ALT,HA,SOD,MDA,LN level were measured and compared between the 2 groups and that of healthy rats (3 rats).Rats liver morphology was observed using HE,Masson stain and type-B ultrasonic.TGF-β1、caspase-3 were detected by immunohistochemistry.Result After 3 weeks Ulinastai treatment,elastic index and SSS score in Ulinastai group decreased significantly compared to pretreatment (t =2.472,P ＜0.05).ALT,AST,SOD,MDA,HA and LN level significantly improved (F =3.862,5.774,3.442,4.157,4.173,3.674,P ＜ 0.05).Compared with NS treatment group HE and Masson staining showed fewer inflammatory cells infiltration in central vein,ballooning degeneration of liver cells,collagen proliferated,hepatic lobules degradation and pseudolobule arise after 3 weeks intervenion.Also in Ulinastai group,TGF-β1、caspase-3 positive cells were much less than that in NS treatment group.Conclusions Ulinastai can reverse rat hepatic fibrosis and alleviate fibrosis degree and collagen fiber deposit.

Purpose To investigate the genetic changes of ALK gene in sporadic neuroblastoma in China, and to explore its role in neuroblastoma. Methods Total 56 cases of NB with overexpressed ALK protein were studied by fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) , using interphase Vysis LSI ALK dual-color and break apart rearrangement probes. Literature under the subject was searched through PubMed. Results Of the 56 cases, ALK gain was found in 9 (16%) cases, ALK amplification was found in 1 (1. 8%) case only. No alterations of ALK were detected in the remaining 46 cases. Conclusion As a major predisposition gene as well as a poten-tial therapeutic target for neuroblastoma, the frequency of aberrant copy numbers of ALK gene in Chinese NB patients is closely similar with previously published results.

Optically pure α-substituted propanoic acids and their derivatives represent as an important kind of organic building blocks and key intermediates,which has been widely used in the synthesis of chiral drugs.Some of them have been used directly as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs),such as ibuprofen,naproxen,ketoprofen and so on.Dihydroartemisinic acid (DHAA),the same structure as the α-substituted propanic acids,is a key intermediate for the synthesis of artemisinin,the most effective and current used anti-malarial drug.Therefore,the asymmetric synthesis of α-substituted propanoic acids is always a hot topic for chemical scientists.Asymmetric catalytic hydrogenation attracts more and more attentions because of its atom economy and efficiency.This dissertation will disclose the asymmetric synthesis of α-substituted propanoic acids using transition metal-complex as a chiral catalyst.

This study was aimed to design the distal radial anatomic splint which was more in line with the human anatomy and treatment characteristics using the computer design software 3D-MAX. According to ergonomic design principles, the forearm and wrist plaster splint were selected from volunteer models. Then, data of the plaster was measured and input into the computer for the design of the three-dimensional model of distal radial anatomic splint with 3D-MAX software. Finally, the blueprint was drawn for the factory to make the distal radial anatomic splint. The results showed that the distal radial anatomic splint was more in line with human anatomy, which did not require shaping in clinical using. It did not affect the biomechanical properties. And the patients never complain the squeez-ing discomfort of the splint. It was concluded that the three-dimensional model of the distal radial anatomic splint, which designed with 3D-MAX software, provided key parameters of the important part of the distal radial anatomic splint. Therefore, the produced splint was more in accordance with the human anatomy and the clinic treatment re-quirements. It avoided the loss of biomechanical properties after shaping, which was more convenient and effective in the clinical using. Its clinical promotion has a broad prospect.

Objective To analyze the clinical effect of pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of multi-segmental lumbar fracture and dislocation under the guidance of visualization technique. Methods A total of 21 patients with multi-segmental lumbar fracture and dislocation were selected from November 2012 to November 2013. Before the screw implantation, the structure of bilateral pedicle was observed through Mimics software and the implantation parameters were measured. The position of pedicle screws by postoperative CT scan, operation time, and the satisfaction of the patients were assessed. The percentages of anterior vertebral height and Cobb′s angle were measured before operation, 2 weeks and 8 months after operation. Results All patients were satisfied with informed consent score and the way of pedicle screw and the selection of plant were more reasonable. With better screw position, shorter operative time and less blood loss and adverse reactions, pedicle screw fixation achieved good effect. Conclusion With high security and considerable clinical value, pedicle screw fixation in the treatment of multi-segmental lumbar fracture and dislocation under the guidance of visualization technique has exact and good effecct.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the feasibility and clinical characteristics of small partial laryngectomy without tracheotomy for T1-2 stage glottic carcinoma. METHOD: Forty-five patients with laryngeal squamaous cell carcinoma in T1-2 stage received small partial laryngectomy without tracheotomy. RESULT: All patients were primarily healed and were hospitalized for an average of 11.5 days post-operatively. In all patients, the function of respiration and the reflection of cough were normal, and laryngeal obstruction did not happen. The only postoperative complication was subcutaneous emphysema noted in 29 patients. Among them, subcutaneous emphysema extincted after 4-6 days in 26 patiens, only 3 patiens suffered from delayed healing because the subcutaneous emphysema extincted after 2 weeks. Mild subcutaneous emphysema did not affect the function of respiration and deglutition, healing of wound, and psychology of patients. All patients had been followed-up for 1-13 years. Only 2 patients died of tumor recurrence or metastasis. The function of respiration and deglutition were normal in the living patients, and no implanting metastasis on surface of trachea were found. CONCLUSION The theoretical foundation of small partial laryngectomy without tracheotomy for T1-2 stage glottic carcinoma has been well established. This surgical technique is feasible, safe and effective. It can significantly improve clinical outcome of T1-2 stage glottic carcinoma with minimal invasiveness. Furthermore, it can obviously abate the surgical, physiological and psychological trauma on patients.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on receptor-interacting protein 1 (RIP1) signaling pathway during brain injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in pigs.Methods Twenty-one healthy domestic male white pigs,weighing 33-41 kg,were divided into 3 groups (n =7 each) using a random number table method:sham operation group (group S),cardiac arrest-resuscitation group (group CA-R) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).Ventricular fibrillation was electrically induced and untreated for 8 min followed by 5 min of cardiopulmonary resuscitation to establish the model of brain injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in anesthetized domestic white pigs.Dexmedetomidine was infused via the femoral vein in a loading dose of 0.5 μg/kg at 5 min after successful resuscitation,followed by an infusion of 0.5 μg · kg-1 · h-1 for 6 h in group D.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and CA-R groups.The concentrations of neuron-specific endase (NSE) and S-100β protein in serum were measured at 1,3,6 and 24 h after resuscitation (T1-4).Neurologic deficit score (NDS) was evaluated at T4.The animals were sacrificed at T4,brains were removed and cerebral cortex tissues were obtained for determination of the expression of RIP1,RIP3 and mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein (MLKL) by Western blot.Results Compared with group S,the serum concentrations of NSE and S-100β protein were significantly increased at T1-4,the NDS was increased at T4,and the expression of RIP1,R1P3 and MLKL in cerebral cortex tissues was up-regulated in CA-R and D groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group CA-R,the serum concentrations of NSE and S-100β protein were significantly decreased at T3,4,the NDS was decreased at T4,and the expression of RIP1,RIP3 and MLKL in cerebral cortex tissues was down-regulated in group D (P＜0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which dexmedetomidine reduces brain injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation may be related to inhibiting the activation of RIP 1 signaling pathway in pigs.

Objective To investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine postconditioning on brain injury after cardiac arrest and resuscitation in a swine model.Methods Twenty-eight healthy male domestic pigs,weighing 36±2 kg,were randomized (random number) into 4 groups (n=7 each group):sham operation group (S group),cardiopulmonary resuscitation group (CPR group),low-dose dexmedetomidine postconditioning group (LDP group),and high-dose dexmedetomidine postconditioning group (HDP group).Animals in the S group only underwent the surgical preparation.In the other three groups,the experimental model was established by 8 mins of electrically induced ventricular fibrillation and then 5 mins of cardiopulmonary resuscitation.At 5 min after resuscitation,a loading dose of dexmedetomidine of 0.25 μg/kg was intravenously infused followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.25 μg/(kg·h) for 6 h in the LDP group,and a loading dose of dexmedetomidine of 0.5 μ.g/kg was infused followed by continuous infusion at a rate of 0.5 μg/(kg·h) for 6 h in the HDP group.The same amount of normal saline was administered in the S and CPR groups.At 1 h,3 h,6 h and 24 h after resuscitation,the levels of serum neuron specific enolase (NSE) and S100B protein were measured.At 24 h after resuscitation,neurologic deficit score (NSD) was evaluated.After that,the animals were euthanized and cerebral cortex was obtained for the determination of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6)and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents,superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity,cell apoptosis and caspase-3 expression.Results Compared with the S group,post-resuscitation neurologic dysfunction and brain injury were observed in the other three groups,which were indicated by significantly higher NDS and markedly greater levels of serum NSE and S 100B (all P＜0.05).Compared with the CPR group,the score of NDS at 24 h post-resuscitation were significantly lower and the levels of serum NSE and S100B at 6 h and 24 h post-resuscitation were significantly less in the LDP and HDP groups [NDS:194±26,103±16 vs 278±23 at 24 h;NSE (ng/mL):32.4±1.8,28.6±3.7 vs 36.2±2.8 at 6 h,39.9±4.2,35.1±1.5 vs 45.1±3.0 at 24 h;S100B (pg/mL):2 534±207,2 382±170 vs 2 825±113 at 6 h,3 719±164,3 246±176 vs 4 085±161 at 24 h,all P＜0.05].Compared with the LDP group,neurologic dysfunction and brain injury at 24 h postresuscitation were further significantly alleviated in the HDP group (all P＜0.05).Pathological analysis indicated that brain inflammation,oxidative stress and cell apoptosis were observed after resuscitation in the CPR,LDP and HDP groups.However,the contents of TNF-α,IL-6 and MDA were significantly lower while the activity of SOD was significantly higher,and cell apoptosis and caspase-3 expression were significantly reduced in the brain after resuscitation in the LDP and HDP groups compared with the CPR group (all P＜0.05).In addition,those pathological injuries mentioned above were further significantly alleviated in the brain after resuscitation in the HDP group compared to the LDP group (all P＜0.05).Conclusions Dexmedetomidine postconditioning significantly alleviated the severity of postresuscitation brain injury in a dose-dependent manner,in which the protection was produced possibly through reducing tissue inflammation,oxidative stress and cell apoptosis.
