Objective To determine if thiopental, propofol and ketamine can be safely used for induction of anesthesia in patients with congenital heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension. Methods Eighteen patients with congenital heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension were studied. Age ranged from 14 to 31 yr and body weight from 35 to 57 kg. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular pethidine 1 mg? kg-1 and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted through internal jugular vein. The patients were randomized to receive thiopental 2 mg?kg-1 , propofol 1 mg?kg-1 or ketamine 1 mg?kg-1 administered slowly via Swan-Ganz catheter for induction of anesthesia. MAP, high arterial pressure (RPA), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP), pulmonary arterial wedge pressure (PAWP), cardiac output (CO) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) were measured before induction of the intravenous anesthetics. Results PVR unchanged significantly after ketamine , thiopental and propofol as compared with the baseline value. MAP was significantly decreased after injection of thiopental and propofol. Conclusion Thiopental, propofol and ketamine can be safely used for induction of anesthesia in patients with congenital heart disease complicated by pulmonary hypertension.

Ebola virus infection causes severe hemorrhagic fever in human and non-human primates with high mortality.Viral entry/infection is initiated by binding of glycoprotein GP protein on Ebola virion to host cells,followed by fusion of virus-cell membrane also mediated by GP.Using an human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-based pseudotyping system,the roles of 41 Ebola GP1 residues in the receptor-binding domain in viral entry were studied by alanine scanning substitutions.We identified that four residues appear to be involved in protein folding/structure and four residues are important for viral entry.An improved entry interference assay was developed and used to study the role of these residues that are important for viral entry.It was found that R64 and K95 are involved in receptor binding.In contrast,some residues such as I170 are important for viral entry,but do not play a major role in receptor binding as indicated by entry interference assay and/or protein binding data,suggesting that these residues are involved in post-binding steps of viral entry.Furthermore,our results also suggested that Ebola and Marburg viruses share a common cellular molecule for entry.

Objective To explore the clinical features of diabetic macular edema (DME) with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and correlation with visual function. Methods Forty-nine eyes from 40 patients with DME (DME group) and 31 eyes from 31 patients without DME (control group) were examined with OCT,pattern reversal visual evoked potentials (P-VEP),macular perimetry. According to proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), 49 eyes with DME were divided into group A (without PDR, 30eyes) and group B (with PDR, 19 eyes). Results The retinal macular thickness of central fovea in DME group [(299.25±63.87)μm] was more than that in contol group [(204.35 ± 37.94)μm], visual acuity and macular visual field in DME group were significantly different than those in control group, respectively (P < 0.05). The retinal macular thickness of central fovea,visual acuity and visual field were no significant differences between group A and group B (P>0.05). OCT macular thickness and visual correlation coefficient was -0.437(P< 0.05 ); OCT macular thickness and mean defect correlation coefficient was 0.441(P < 0.05). Conclusions OCT can provide a useful tool for monitoring the occurrence and development of DME, can assess the response to treatment. With increasing of the macular retinal thickness, the visual acuity and macular visual field of visual function are more damaged.

Objective: To explore the influence factors of the degenerate oligonucleotide primered PCR(DOP-PCR). Methods: Genome DNA template from the mouse single oocyte or liver tissue were used to perform DOP-PCR. DOP-PCR was carried out with templates of different origin, different gradient dilution, with or without low melting point gel purified to wipe off the small fragment that might interfere with the following analysis, and then PCR of gene FTCD and CBS were carried out to evaluate the influence of these factors on the amplification efficiency and specificity. Results: Compared with genome DNA template from mouse liver, the template from single oocyte had the same efficiency and specificity but a minor yield and different gradient dilution of DNA template had no effect on the efficiency and specificity. Furthermore, there was a higher specificity in the low melting point gel-purified DOP-PCR product than in untreated ones. Conclusion: We have got a satisfactory result and increased specificity from DOP-PCR product purified with the low melting point gel. Single oocyte of mice could be used for further investigation of special genes detection by DOP-PCR and of an optimization in the yield of the products.
