[Objective]To compare the effects of continuous femoral nerve block(CFNB) and epidural analgesia(CEA) on rehabilitation after total knee arthroplasty(TKA) surgery. [Methods]Fifty patients undergoing unilateral TKA surgery were randomly divided into group CFNB(n=25) and group CEA(n=25).All patients were received unilateral spinal anesthesia with 0.5% dicaine and given analgesia with 0.2 % ropivacaine with 1ug/ml sufentanil.VAS pain scores during rest and continuous passive movement(CPM) at each time point was recorded.Other parameter such as the angle of initiative flections,blood loss at 6 h post operation,the concentration of serum hemoglobin at 24 h,48 h and side effect were recorded.[Results]The VAS pain scores during test had no significant difference between two groups.The VAS scores of CPM at 24 h and 48 h in group CFNB were obvious lower(3.68?0.93 and 3.93?0.78) than those in group CEA.The initiative flections were similar at 12 and 24 hours after operation.The concentration of hemoglobin at 6 h after operation was lower than that before operation.After reinfusion it was increased but did not reach the level before operation.The incidence of side effects was not noted in both groups.[Conclusion]After TKA surgery,the continuous femoral nerve block can provide better pain relief.No adverse impact on rehabilitation movement of operated legs or blood loss and has less side effect.Therefore,it should be considered an alternative analgesia method after TKA.

Objective To observe the effect of fluvastatin on the activity of extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)1/2,expression of connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) in glomerular mesangial cells stimulated by high glucose,and explore the pathogenic mechanism of diabetic nephropathy(DN) and its early prevention and treatment.Methods The study consisted of two parts,the first part was to repeat the existing experienment of stimulatory effect of high glucose on mesangial cells,and validated that high glucose could up-regulated the expression of CTGF through stimulating ERK,and the change was unrelated with hypertonic conditions.There were five groups:①normal control group(NG);②high glucose group(HG);③mannitol group(MN);④NG+ERK inhibitor PD98059 group(NG+PD);⑤HG+ ERK inhibitor PD98059 group(HG+PD).The second part was to observe the changes of the expressions of CTGF protein and mRNA in mesangial cells at high glucose concentration before and after fluvastatin intervention.There were also five groups:①normal control group(NG);②high glucose group(HG);③normal glucose and fluvastatin group(NG+F);④high glucose + fluvastatin(HG+F);⑤high glucose + fluvastatin and mevalonic acid group(HG+F+M).The activity of ERK1/2 and the expressions of CTGF protein and mRNA in cultured glomerular mesangial cells stimulated by high glucose were detected with Western blotting and RT-PCR.The amount of fibronectin(FN) in the supernatant of cells was analyzed by ELISA.Intracellular total protein level was measured by Coomassie brilliant blue method.Results The first part showed that the activity of ERK1/2 and the expression of CTGF protein in HG were more higher than those in NG(P

Objective To explore the clinical effects of different regimens of letrozole in the treatment of PCOS in patients with infertility.Methods A total of 87 cases of PCOS infertility were selected as the research subjects.The patients were divided into the group A(44 cases of menstrual cycle 3rd~7th day oral letrozole 5mg/d), the group B 43 cases(3D of the menstrual cycle to take a one-time oral letrozole 20mg),ultrasound monitoring was used in the treatment process,when the maximum follicle diameter greater than or equal to 18mm,HCG intramuscular injection of human chorionic 10 000IU(HCG).The changes of endocrine hormones in the two groups were compared and the effect of ovulation induction was compared.Results Menstruation the fifth day serum T,FSH,LH,between the two groups had no statistically significant differences (P>0.05 ).The serum E2 in the group B [(106.1 ± 43.2)nmol/L]was lower than that in the group A[(183.2 ±69.4)nmol/L](t=6.204,P<0.05).Injection of HCG on the same day,the serum T,FSH and E2 between the group A and group B showed no significant differences(P>0.05),serum LH level in group B[(31.1 ±9.2)IU/L]was lower than that in the group A[(34.6 ±8.9)IU/L](t=2.010,P<0.05 ).In group B,the endometrial thickness,the number of mature follicles,the ovulation rate,the pregnancy rate within 12 months were (0.94 ±0.11)mm,(1.46 ±0.41),95.35%,35.26% respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the group A[(0.83 ±0.13)mm,(1.14 ±0.25),70.45%,13.64%](t=4.256,t=4.407,χ2 =9.445,4.398,all P<0.05).Conclusion The 3rd day at menstrual cycle,taking a single oral dose of letrozole 20mg program is favor of an early lowering E2 levels,and can promote follicular maturation and development,improve the pregnancy rate in patients with PCOS.

Objective To systematically review the literature evaluating efficacy and adverse events of propranolol for infantile hemangiomas (IHs).Methods We searched the Cochrane,Medline,Wiley,CNKI and Wanfang Databases for all studies on the response of IHs to propranolol only which were published between June 2008 and May 2013.Results A total of 23 studies were collected,including 14 case reports and 2 follow-up studies which were without random and control;another 6 studies were clinical controlled trials and 1 study was RCT.Total 716 patients were included,and never received other treatments before propranolol.Propranolol was initiated at a mean age of (4.5 ± 0.5)months at a mean dose of 2.1 mg/kg/day and for a mean treatment duration of (9.7±9.2) months.The effective rate for patients with IHs treated with propranolol was 97％ (691/716),and patients after treatment completion reported IHs recurred in 8.6 ％ of patients.The adverse effects rate was 31％(223/7167) which most common adverse events were changes in sleep (n=35),gastrointestinal reaction (n =52) and decreased heart rate (n =73),and 5 patients discontinued the treatment because of the serious adverse events.Conclusions This systematic review of 716 patients treated with propranolol for IHs show a high rate of efficacy and a low rate of serious adverse events,and it is a better treatment of infantile hemangioma,but we should pay more attention to the serious adverse events and strictly select indications.

AIM:To investigate the influence of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) on the proliferation of neural stem cells in peri-infarction cortex of focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model rats .METHODS: Male SD rats (n=48) were randomly divided into sham group , ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group, RNA interference group and nega-tive interference group .The rat middle cerebral artery was blocked to establish focal cerebral I /R model ( ischemia for 1 h and reperfusion for 7 d).Lentivirus vector of HMGB1 shRNA was used to suppress the HMGB1 protein expression in the rat brain.The effect of RNA interference was evaluated by the methods of double-immunofluorescence labeling of HMGB 1/GFAP and Western blotting .The proliferation of neural stem cells in the peri-infarction cortex was assessed by double labe-ling of BrdU/nestin.RESULTS: The protein expression of HMGB1 in I/R group was much higher than those in sham group (P<0.05).RNA interference effectively inhibited the HMGB1 expression (P<0.05).Double labeled BrdU/nestin positive cells in I/R group were more than that in sham group (P<0.05).The double labeled BrdU/nestin positive cells were significantly decreased in RNA interference group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury promotes the proliferation of neural stem cells in peri-infarction cortex by increasing HMGB 1 protein level .

Objective: To detect circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in patients with gastric cancer and evaluate the relationship among CTCs, clinico-pathological characteristics, and prognosis of gastric cancer. Methods: Peripheral blood samples (10 mL in EDTA) were obtained from 45 patients with gastric cancer. CTCs were detected using density-gradient centrifugation and immunofluo-rescence staining. The clinical significance of the two methods were also compared and investigated. Results:CTC-positive case was defined by the presence of at least one CK19 (+)-CTC per 10 mL of the sample. CTCs were found in 27 of the 45 patients with gastric cancer. The presence of CTCs was significantly correlated with lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, and recurrence (P=0.007, 0.035, 0.035, respectively). However, CTCs were not significantly correlated with sex, age, tumor location, TNM staging, and tumor differentiation (P>0.05). Conclusion:CTCs were associated with poor prognosis of gastric cancer.
