Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Objective To compare the expression of pancreatic triglyceride lipase in type-1(T1A) and type-2 astrocytes(T2A).Methods Purified cultures of cortical T1A and T2A were prepared from neonatal rats.The expression of pancreatic triglyceride lipase mRNA was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).And the protein level was determined by immunocytochemistry with laser scanning confocal microscope.Results RT-PCR showed that the expression of pancreatic triglyceride lipase mRNA was negative in T1A and positive at a high level in T2A.Immunocytochemistry demonstrated that pancreatic triglyceride lipase expressed at a low level in T1A and was mainly distributed in the nuclei.By contrast,pancreatic triglyceride lipase expressed at a high level in T2A and was distributed diffusedly in the cytoplasm,nuclei and processes.Conclusion T1A and T2A showed different expression levels of pancreatic triglyceride lipase. Pancreatic triglyceride lipase expressed at a high level in T2A,which indicated that T2A may play an important role in the metabolism of lipids in the central nervous system.

Chinese Journal of Geriatrics 2016;35(4):396-400
Objective To compare the effects of different analgesic methods in patients undergoing hip surgery followed by low-molecular-weight heparin administration.Methods A total of 94 ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients undergoing hip surgery with combined spinal and epidural anesthesia (CSEA) who had received a single dose of 2 mg epidural morphine were randomized into 3 groups:Group M (n=30,patients receiving a single dose of epidural morphine combined with intramuscular tramadol if VAS≥4),Group E [n=34,patients receiving a single dose of epidural morphine combined with patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA)],and Group Ⅰ [n=30,patients receiving a single dose of epidural morphine combined with patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA)].Infusion quantity during operation,bleeding volume and postoperative drainage volume,visual analogue scales (VAS) 24 h and 48 h after operation,Ramsay sedation scores,and nausea and vomiting were recorded.Venous blood samples were taken at admission,the end of operation,and 24 h,48 h and 7 d after operation for hemorheological data,coagulation tests and blood platelet counts (PLT).Color Doppler ultrasonography of lower limb vessels was conducted by the same clinician before and 7 days after operation.Results VAS at 48 h after operation were higher in Group M than in Group E and Group Ⅰ,and there were more patients refusing to initiate ambulation because of pain in Group M than in Group E and Group Ⅰ (P<0.01).Ramsay scores at 24 h and 48 h in Group Ⅰ were higher than those in Group M and Group E,and there was no significant difference in Ramsay scores between Group M and Group E (P>0.05).The occurrence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV) was higher in Group M and Group Ⅰ than in Group E (P<0.05),and there were more patients refusing to initiate ambulation because of nausea and vomiting in Group M and Group Ⅰ than in Group E (P<0.01).There was no significant difference in DVT occurrence,hemorheological parameters or coagulation function between the 3 groups (each P>0.05).Conclusions A single dose of epidural morphine does not achieve satisfactory analgesia,as evidenced by a large proportion of patients refusing to initiate rehabilitation training due to pain,and the incidence of PONV is high in elderly patients undergoing hip surgery.A single dose of epidural morphine combined with PCIA offers enhanced analgesia,but it also results in increased PONV.A single dose of epidural morphine combined with PCEA provides improved analgesia and reduced PONV,but shows no added advantage with the application of low-molecular-weight heparin in deep venous thrombosis prevention.

Objective To observe the effect of duration of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on coagulation, fibrinolysis and endothelial activation in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods The 45 elderly patients with cholelithiasis scheduled for LC, aged over 60 yeas, were placed in different groups respectively after surgery according to the duration of pneumoperitoneum. The duration of pneumoperitoneum was ≤60 minutes in group A (n=21),and more than 60 minutes in group B (n=24). Venous blood samples were taken on admission (baseline), at the end of surgery, the 1st, 2nd and 3rd day after surgery for determination of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin fragment F1+2 (F1+2), antithrombin 3 (AT-Ⅲ activity), fibrinogen (Fib), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA), plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), D-dimer (D-D), von Willebrand factor (vWF activity). Results Concerning the coagulation activation, at the 3rd postoperative day, the level of F1+2 was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(1.60±0.26) μg/L vs. (1.32±0.24) μg/L, P<0.05]; AT-III was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(84.82%±20.21%) vs. (97.49%±16.87%), P<0.05]. At the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, the levels of Fib were significantly higher in group B than in group A [(3.87±0.62) g/L vs. (3.42±0.72) g/L, (3.98±0.77) g/L vs. (3.42±0.63) g/L, respectively, P<0.05]. Concerning fibrinolysis, But at the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, the level of PAI-1 was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(33.93±10.42) μg/L vs. (26.69±9.49) μg/L, (32.90±11.25) μg/L vs. (26.31±7.06) μg/L respectively, P<0.05]. Concerning endothelial activation, at the 2nd and 3rd postoperative day, vWF was significantly higher in group B than in group A [(174.53%±44.03%) vs. (134.37%±37.74%), (176.31%±47.6%) vs. (131.21%±36.34%), respectively, P<0.05]. Conclusions Marked activations of coagulation-fibrinolysis and endothelial activation are observed postoperatively in elderly patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Along with prolonged duration of pneumoperitoneum, more pronounced alterations of increased coagulation, reduced fibrinolysis and endothelial activation are observed, which could constitute an imbalanced situation of coagulation-fibrinolysis and increases the risk of venous thrombosis.

Objective To compare the changes in blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and endothelial damage in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy with different durations of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum. Methods Sixty-four ASA Ⅰ orⅡpatients, aged 23-60 yr, weighing 45-82 kg, scheduled for elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were randomly divided into 3 groups according to the duration of pneumoperitoneum: duration of pneumoperitoneum ≤30 min group (group Ⅰ, n=21), 30 min < duration of pneumoperitoneum < 60 min (group Ⅱ, n=23) and duration of pneumoperitoneum≥ 60 min (group Ⅲ , n=20).The intra-abdominal pressure was maintained at 12-14 mm Hg. Venous blood samples were taken before surgery (baseline, T0 ),at the end of surgery(T1), and at 1, 2 and 3 d after surgery (T2-4) for determination of prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, concentrations of prothrombin fragment 1+2(F1+2), fibrinogen (Fib), tissue plasminogen activator and plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), and activities of antithrombin Ⅲ(AT-Ⅲ)and von Willebrand factor(vWF).Results Compared with groupⅠ , the vWF activity and PAI-1 concentration at T2 , concentrations of Fib, F1+2, PAI-1 and activity of vWF at T3 and concentrations of Fib and F1+2 at T4 were significantly increased, while the AT-IE activity at T3 was significantly decreased in group Ⅲ(P<0.05) .Conclusion When the duration of pneumoperitoneum is short, no obvious changes in the blood coagulation, fibrinolysis and endothelial damage are observed postoperatively in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy, and along with the prolongation of the duration of pneumoperitoneum, increased blood coagulation, reduced fibrinolysisand aggravated endothelial damage are observed postoperatively.

Objective To investigate the HBV- positive pregnant women about the knowledge of the route of hepatitis B transmission, hepatitis B hazards, health care during pregnancy, announcements of child- care to explore targeted and effective health education model with self- designed question-naires. Methods Nurses in obstetrics department carried out this questionnaire investigation in the outpa-tients of HBV- positive pregnant women, after that the results underwent statistic analysis. Results The overall knowledge of HBV- positive pregnant women in announcements of child- care, health care during pregnancy and hepatitis B hazards was not very well, and the announcements of child- care was the lowest, followed by health care during pregnancy and hepatitis B hazards. The route of hepatitis B transmission was better, but still not satisfactory. The education should highlight these areas. Well- educated women were better than those who lack education. The age between 20 to 30 years old was better. Conclusions The HBV-positive pregnant women is lack of heath knowledge, so we should gave health intervention in a multi- level, multi- stage standardized and a variety of ways.

Objective To investigate the effect of gender factors on the reduction of ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by sevoflurane postconditioning in isolated rat cardiomyocytes. Methods Sixty 2-month-old SD rats (30 male, 30 female) were used in this study. Male rats were randomly assigned into 2 groups (n = 15 each):control group (group MC) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group MS). Female rats were also randomly assigned into 2 groups (n= 15 each): control group (group FC) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group FS).The rats were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 60 mg/kg. Their hearts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37 ℃. I/R was produced by 40 min of global ischemia followed by 120 min of reperfusion. Control groups received perfusion with K-H solution saturated with O2 . Sevofiurane postconditioning groups received 10 min of perfusion with K-H solution saturated with 3%sevoflurane and O2 and then 110 min of perfusion with K-H solution saturated with O2 . HR, left ventricular enddiastolic pressure (LVEDP) and left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) were measured before ischemia and during reperfusion. Coronary effluent was collected at 5 min of reperfusion for determination of LDH activity and infarct size. The total Akt (t-Akt) and phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) expression in cardiomyocytes was detected. The ratio of p-Akt to t-Akt (p-Akt/t-Akt) was calculated. Results LVDP, p-Akt expression and p-Akt/t-Akt were significantly higher, LVEDP and LDH activity were significantly lower, and the infarct size was smaller in group MS and FC than in group MC (P < 0.05). LVDP was significantly lower, LVEDP and LDH activity were significantly higher, and the infarct size was larger in group FS than in group MS. There was no significant difference in LVDP and LVEDP between group FC and FS (P > 0.05). Conclusion There are gender differences in the reduction of I/R injury by sevoflurane postconditioning in isolated rat cardiomyocyes, the protective effect is stronger in male rats than in female rats, and the differences may be related to the activation of Akt.
