Tianjin Medical Journal 2010;38(1):29-31
Objective: To investigate the effect of different concentrations of dextrose transfusion on cerebral glucose metabolism in pediatric neurosurgical operations. Methods: Sixty anesthetized children undergoing selective cerebral tumor resection were randomly divided into three groups: Ringer lactate solution group (A, n = 20), 2.5% dextrose lactated Ringer's solution group(B, n = 20), 1% dextrose lactated Ringer's solution group (C, n = 20). All the hemodynamic data were recorded during anesthesia. The values of blood glucose and lactic acid were collected before intubation(T_a), 2 hours after opening cerebral dura mater (T_b) and the end of operation (T_c). The catheters for microdialysis were punctured into normal brain tissue. The contents of glucose and lactic acid were determined in the collected intercellular fluid by biochemical analysis instruments at T_A and T_B respectively. Results: There were no differences in heart rate(HR), mean arterial pressure(MAP) and arterial oxygen saturation (SpO_2) among three groups(P > 0.05). There were no differences in blood glucose at T_a between three groups(P > 0.05). The values of blood glucose at T_b and T_c were B group>C group>A group(P < 0.05). The values of blood glucose were higher at T_b and T_c than that of T_a in three groups(P < 0.05). There were no differences in blood lactic acid among three groups(P > 0.05). There were no significant differences in values of glucose and lactic acid in the collected intercellular fluid among three groups(P > 0.05). Conclusion: Transfusion of Ringer lactate solution or low concentration dextrose solution will increase blood glucose in pediatric neurosurgical operations, but still in the normal range, which has a little influence on blood lactic acid, glucose and lactic acid in brain intercellular fluid. It is a safe choice during neurosurgical operation.
4.Therapentic effect of percutaneous balloon compression versus percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation on idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia in aged patients
Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2011;30(6):485-487
Objective To compare the effect of percutaneous balloon compression (PBC) versus percutaneous radiofrequency thermocoagulation treatment (PRFT) on idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia in elderly patients. Methods The 87 patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia were enrolled, 42 patients were treated by PBC (PBC group), and the other 45 patients were treated by PRFT (PRFT group). The effects of two therapies were evaluated after treatment. Results The early response rate (92.9% vs. 95.6%) and cure rate (88.1% vs. 88.9%) of PBC group versus PRFT group had no significant differences (both P>0.05). The inhibitory response rate of trigeminal nerve was significantly greater in PBC group than in PRFT group after treatment (69.0% vs. 35.6%, P<0.05), and 1 patient had cardiac arrest in PBC group. The two groups had different degrees of facial numbness and sensory dysfunction. The 39 patients treated by PBC had numbness in three divisions of trigeminal nerve, while 43 patients treated by PRFT had the high selection and showed the main numbness in the ill division of trigeminal nerve. The chewing gravis rate was higher in PBC group than in PRFT group (71.8% vs. 20.9%, P<0.05). There was no neuralgia recurrence in both groups during 6 monthe′ follow-up. Conclusions The effect of treating the elderly patients with idiopathic trigeminal neuralgia is similar by PBC and PRFT. The PBC therapy under general anesthesia is more convenient for patients who can not cooperate.The PRFT has much higher selectivity in trigeminal nerve damage, lower inhibition rate of the trigeminal nerve, and less influence on the masticatory muscle function.
5.Relationship between TNF-α polymorphisms in its promotor region and susceptibility of lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(7):505-507
Genetic susceptibility of lung cancer plays an important role in genesis of lung cancer.Studies find that tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)is significantly up-regulated in lung cancer patients.It may be correlated with the TNF-α polymorphism in its promoter region which affects its transcription and expression.TNF-α polymorphisms may be an important genetic marker for susceptibility of lung cancer.

10.THE DETECTION OF PROTEINURIA IN DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY AND ITS PATHOGENESIS
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 1986;0(04):-
Sixty diabetic patients and twenty normal controls were studied. The results showed that: 1) Counter-immuno-electrophoresis is a sensitive and simple test suitable for the detection and monitoring of diabetic microproteinuria; 2) The proteinuria in diabetic nephropathy is glomerular in origin which is supported by the finding of a marked increase in urinary albumin excretion and a normal level of urinary ?2-microglobulin; 3) The serum ?2-microglobulin appears to be a more sensitive index than serum creatinine and creatinine clearance rate for the detection of impairment of renal function in diabetic patients; 4) Diabetic nephropathy is related to glycemic control and duration of diabetes mellitus.
