Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of oxycodone on postoperative pain and stress response in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery. Methods Sixty patients scheduled for gynecological laparoscopy,aging from 18 to 50 years old,of ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were included and randomized into three groups:control group (group C),low dose of oxycodone group (group L),high dose of oxycodone group (group H),20 cases in each group.Pa-tients in group L,H received 0.05,0.1 mg/kg oxycodone respectively while paitents in group C re-ceived saline 5 ml 1 5 min before the end of the surgery.Visual analogue scale(VAS)pain score and RASS score were measured on 1,6,12 and 24 h postoperatively.Glucose and serum cortisol were also measured before the operation and on time points of 6,12 and 24 h after the operation.Adverse effects were recorded too.Results Compared with group C,VAS were significantly lower in group L and H within 1 hour postoperatively.(P <0.05).VAS was significantly lower in group H than that in group C and L at 6 h postoperatively (P <0.05 ).The RASS scores of group L and H were significantly lower than those in group C (P <0.05)at 1 h postoperatively.Blood glucose and serum cortisol of group L and H increased at 6,12 and 24 h after operation (P <0.05).Compared with group C,blood glucose and serum cortisol were significantly lower in group L and group H at 6,12 h after operation (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions in each group. Conclusion Oxycodone 0.1 mg/kg injected before the end of gynecological laparoscopic surgery could effectively relieve postoperative pain with less adverse reactions,and decrease postoperation stress re-sponse.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the pattern of antibiotic usage and antibiotic resistance tendency in our hospital.METHODS The use of antibiotics was evaluated by calculating DDDs;the bacteria were isolated and identified,and the susceptibility was tested by using microdilution method.Ten species of the most common bacteria,such as Staphylocccus aureus,and their antibiotic resistance tendency in two years were evaluated.RESULTS The average antibiotics days were 11.6 in two years.Ten species with 8967 strains were isolated in which 57.70% bacteria were Gram-negative.The rate of extended spectrum ?-lactamases(ESBLs) of Enterobacteriacae was 31.18%.42.3% Bacteria were Gram-positive,the isolation rate of MRSA was up to 76% and 56.8%,respectively.CONCLUSIONS The total cost of antibiotics remains at a high level.The ESBLs is still the major problem in gram negative germ.Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus has been discovered.It is urgent to conduct epidemiological investigation and to take appropriate measures to control bacterial resistance and antibiotics usage.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that chitosan can promote the repair of peripheral nerve injury and methylprednisolone can improve the microenvironment around nerve injuries, which are commonly used in clinical treatment of acute central nervous system injury.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of modified chitosan and methylprednisolone combination on repair of sciatic nerve injury in rats.
METHODS:The rat sciatic nerve was transected and microscopical y anastomosed immediately. Then, modified chitosan, methylprednisolone, methylprednisolone+modified chitosan, and saline were injected respectively around the anastomosis site, compared with the sham surgery group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with other groups, the combination group showed shorter claw extending reflex recovery time (P<0.05). Significant differences were found between the combination group and other groups in nerve conduction velocity, the remnant rate of gastrocnemius wet weight, the diameter and section area of gastrocnemius cells (P<0.05). The nerve fibers through the anastomotic site were significantly increased, with consistent thickness and arrangement and less neurodegeneration when observed 12 weeks after operation. In conclusion, the modified chitosan combined with methylprednisolone could significantly promote the sciatic nerve repair.

Objective To explore the effect of caspase-9 inhibitor on low fetal bovine serum ( FBS)-induced apop-tosis in cartilage endplate chondrocytes in SD rat vertebrae.Methods Disc cartilage endplates were obtained from 3-month old SD rats and subjected to sequential digestion to harvest chondrocytes for primary culture, and apoptosis was in-duced by 1%FBS for 48 hours.Three groups of chondrocytes were treated by 1% FBS, caspase-9 inhibitor ( Z-LEHD-FMK) and DMSO, respectively.After 48 hours, apoptosis was detected by DAPI staining and flow cytometry.The expres-sion of procaspase-9, active caspase-9 and active caspase-3 was monitored by Western blot.Results Compared with the 1%FBS group (40.8 ±0.84)%and DMSO group (40.2 ±1.56)%, the apoptosis rate of the caspase-9 inhibitor group (26.3 ±2.56)% was significantly lower (P<0.05).The expressions of active caspase-9 and active caspase-3 in the caspase-9 inhibitor group were significantly lower than those in the other two groups (P<0.05).Conclusions Caspase-9 inhibitor can inhibit low FBS-induced apoptosis in cartilage endplate chondrocytes of rat vertebrae, and might become a new drug for the treatment of disc degeneration.

Objective To develop an apoptosis model of nucleus pulposus cells in cell culture.Methods To mimic the nutrient-deficient microenvironment of degenerative intervertebral disc,nucleus pulposus cells derived from infant SD rat disc were cultured under serum limiting conditions.Nucleus pulposus cells were cultured in culture medium contai-ning 1%, 3%, 5%, 8%and 10%fetal bovine serum( FBS) respectively to select the optimum FBA concentration.Apoptosis was assessed by flow cytometry, Western blot,cell counting kit, and immunofluorescence technique.Results The flow cy-tometry revealed that apoptosis rate of the nucleus pulposus cells increased with decreasing concentration of FBS, and 3%FBS used in the experimental group was the most effective concentration to induce apoptosis(P<0.05).Western blot dem-onstrated significantly higher expression of Bax and caspase-3 enzyme in the 3%FBS group than in the 10%FBS group, while bcl-2 activity decreased.The results of CCK-8 test indicated that the nucleus pulposus cells got slower proliferation in the medium containing 3%FBS.Immunofluoresence analysis showed that FAS expression was significantly higher in the 3%FBS group than in the 10%FBS group.Conclusions 3%FBS condition may induce apoptosis in the nucleus pulposus cells and compromise the cell function to induce intervertebral disc degeneration.The caspase family should be involved in the process.

AIM: To study the effect of thyroid hormone on the expressional change of myosin heavy chain(MHC) gene in cardiomyocyte induced by angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) and its potential mechanism. METHODS: Cardiac myocyte was cultured according to the method of Simpson. 10 -8 mol/L T_3 and 10 -7 mol/L AngⅡ were added to the culture medium,respectively or synchronously. After 48 h,the expression of ? and ?-MHC mRNA in myocytes were detected by RT-PCR. The protein kinase C activation were detected by PepTag non-radioactive PKC assay. The incorporation of -Leucine and -thymine to test the protein and DNA synthesis in myocytes were also performed. RESULTS: AngⅡalone increased the incorporation of -Leucine of myocytes while it had no effect on the incorporation of -thy mine. The expression of ?-MHC mRNA was increased and the expression of ?-MHC mRNA was decreased significantly at the condition of AngⅡ. The enhanced PKC activation was induced by AngⅡalso. When AngⅡand T_3 were added to the culture medium synchronously,though the incorporation of -leucine and -thymine were not changed compared with AngⅡ treated alone. The ?-MHC mRNA expression was increased and the ?-MHC mRNA expression was decreased significantly. The PKC activation of the myocytes also was decreased. CONCLUSIONS: T_3 inhibited the expressional change of myosin heavy chain gene in cardiac myocytes induced by AngⅡ. The effect of T_3 on the change of PKC activation in cardiac myocytes may be one of its mechanisms.
