Objective To observe the effect of CT-aided scalp surrounding needling on infraction dementia by retaining long time. Methods 53 infraction patients following dementia were randomly divided into treatment group (n=26) and control group (n=27). The control group was treated with CT-aided scalp surrounding needling for 30 minutes, while the treatment group was treated with CT-aided scalp surrounding needling for 3 hours. The course was 8 weeks. The therapeutic effect was assessed by Mini-Mental State Examination(MMSE), Hasegawa Dementia Scale(HDS-R) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL). Results The scores of ADL, MMSE, and HDS-R improved obviously after treatment in two groups (P<0.05), and the treatment group was better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion CT-aided scalp surrounding needling by retaining long time may facilitate to enhance the clinical effect on infarction dementia.

Objective To explore the differences of curative effect and short-term prognosis to severe traumatic brain injury patients with three different early postoperative nutritional supports.Methods A retrospective study was performed on 60 severe traumatic brain injury patients received in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit of Northern Jiangsu People's Hospital from July 2014 to July 2016.A total of 60 cases were randomly divided into the early enteral nutrition support therapy group,the early parenteral nutrition group,and the early compound nutrition group.The clinical indicators such as basic clinical characteristics before treatment,the nutrition data in two weeks,the length of stay in the Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit,complications and GCS scores between the three groups were observed and analyzed.Results The indicators of early compound nutrition group were fasting blood-glucose (5.74 ± 0.64) mmol/L,prealbumin(203.80 ± 10.45) mg/L,total serum protein(61.99 ± 1.34) g/L,blood hemoglobin (114.53 ± 2.69) g/L,C-reactive protein(0.37 ± 0.06) mg/dl.The length of stay in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit was (11.6 ± 0.42) days in the compound nutrition group while those in the early enteral nutrition group was (13.20 ±0.42) days and those in the early parenteral nutrition group was(14.65 ± 0.42) days.The postoperative complications of the compound nutrition group were significantly lower than other two groups.The GCS scores of early compound nutrition group was(11.40 ± 1.60),which was the best in three groups.The differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Early compound nutrition support has an exact curative effect on postoperative severe traumatic brain injury patients in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit.It can obviously improve the nutrition status of patients with less complications,shorter length of stay in Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit,higher safety and lower degree of coma,worth clinical promotion.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of sufentanil on the minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) of sevoflurane for sedation in patients undergoing bronchoscopy. Methods ASA physical status I orⅡpatients of both genders, aged 20 ~ 65, undergoing bronchoscopy under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=20 each):control group (group C) and different doses of sufentanil groups (Sl, S2 and S3 groups). Sufentanil 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3 μg/kg in 5 mL of normal saline was intravenously infused before induction of anesthesia in groups of SI S2 and S3 respectively. While 5 mL of the normal saline was given instead in the group C The patients were mechanically ventilated after insert laryngeal mask. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane. Each time the concentration of sevoflurane at end expiration increased/decreased in the next patient depending on the concentration of sevoflurane at end expiration with which the former had no cough. The ratio between the two consecutive concentrations was 1.1. The middle point between the positive response and negative response served as a crossover pair. After at least 7 independent crossover pairs were observed in each group. The MAC and 95%confidence interval of sevoflurane were calculated. The time of anesthesia induction and analepsis was recorded. Results The MAC (95%CI) of sevoflurane was 3.0%(2.8%~3.3%), 2.3%(2.1%~2.5%), 1.9%(1.6% ~ 2.2%) and 1.6% (1.3% ~ 1.9%) in groups of C, S1, S2 and S3 respectively. The MAC of sevoflurane was significantly lower in groups of S1, S2, S3 than in the group C, and in groups S3 than in the group S1 (P<0.05). The time of anesthesia induction was significantly shorter in groups of S2, S3 than in the group C and significantly longer in groups S3 than in the group C. Conclusion Sufentanil of 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 μg/kg can significantly decrease the MAC of sevoflurane in patients undergoing bronchoscopy in a dose-dependent manner.

AIM: To study the effects of cyproheptadine (Cyp) and anisodamine (Ani)on the changes of intracellular free Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca 2+ ] i) induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF ?) in single endothelial cells, and to explore the mechanisms of TNF ?-mediated shock and antishock actions of Cyp and Ani. METHODS: Human umbilical vein endothelial cell strains(ECV304) were seed in 35 mm tissue culture dish with 2 mL DMEM culture medium. The cultured cells were loaded by Fluo-3/AM. The spatial distribution and the dynamic changes of [Ca 2+ ] i in single endothelial cell was determined by laser scanning confocal microscopy(LSCM). RESULTS: [Ca 2+ ] i in single endothelial cell after stimulation of TNF ? rapidly increased in a dose-dependent manner and approached the peak value within 60 seconds, afterwards, decreased and kept above the basal level. The confocal scanning image showed that [Ca 2+ ] i elevation was more obvious in nuclear than in cytoplasma, and decreased slowly. Cyp (3?10 -5 , 6?10 -5 mol/L) and Ani (2?10 -5 , 4?10 -5 mol?L -1 ) markedly inhibited TNF ? (1.2?10 -9 mol?L -1 )-induced [Ca 2+ ] i elevation. CONCLUSIONS: TNF ? markedly induces elevation of [Ca 2+ ] i in single endothelial cell, it may be an important mechanism of TNF ?-induced shock and tissue injury. Cyp and Ani obviously suppress TNF ?-induced [Ca 2+ ] i elevation, which probably is one of the mechanisms of their antishock effects.
