Esophageal pressure(Pes)is usually measured via a catheter with an air - filled thin - walled latex balloon inserted nasally or orally. To validate Pes measurement,a dynamic occlusion test measures the ratio of change in Pes to change in Paw during inspiratory efforts against a closed airway. This report summarizes current physiological and technical knowledge on esophageal pressure measurements in patients receiving mechanical ventilation. The respiratory changes in Pes are representative of changes in pleural pressure. The difference between airway pressure(Paw)and Pes is a valid estimate of transpulmonary pressure. Because of the nonuniformity of lesion of pulmonary in patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome,Paw and volume can not represent the stress to expand the pulmonary. How to adjust posi-tive end expiratory pressure(PEEP)is still lack of gold standard. The use of Pes for PEEP titration may help improve oxygenation and compliance,or even has the possibility to improve the patient outcome.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate medical staff’s awareness and knowledge level on the rational use and management of antibacterials in our hospital.METHODS:A questionnaire survey was conducted on the spot among medical staff in our hospital,and the results of survey were recorded in Excel electronic form and subjected to data analysis and processing.RESU-LTS & CONCLUSION:The medical staff had a good mastering about the general knowledge about antibacterials(such as definitions,classifications and so on).However,their answers to the questions such as reasonable antibacterial drug use,bacterial resistance,safety and expertise were relatively concentrated(tended to tick the same answer).Therefore,it is advisable to develop different forms of training through different ways among hospital medical staff to enhance their knowledge level on antibacterials and strengthen their awareness of correct and rational use of antibacterials meanwhile setting related measures and management norms.

Objective To study CT value in diagnosing cystic lymphangioma.Methods There were 14 cases with cystic lymphangioma confirmed by pathology.Male were 6 cases and female were 8 cases,ranged in age from 1～57 years old,CT scans were performed in all patients.CT findings by comparison to operation and pathology were studied.Results Patients were subdivided into head-neck 4 cases; body 3 cases; viscus 7 cases based on the location of the lesions.The density in all lesions were homogeneous except one case with bleeding,the CT value were ?10 HU.The diameter of the lesions were 5～15cm, the margin of the lesions were clear, the adjacent tissue were compressed. The lesions were cycle or similar cycle, the septum in some lesions and the wall of lesions were thin, the septum and wall could be partially enhanced. The histories of disease were 1～10 years, average 4.5?1.6 years. No pain in patients except one case with bleeding were found, 3 cases in body had just a little uncomfortable.Conclusion The location and extent of cystic lymphangioma can be detected by CT and it is of valuable in guiding clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the radiosensitizing effect of tetrandrine in human esophageal carcinoma cells (TE1) in vitro and its related mechanisms. Methods The cell proliferation was assessed by MTT assay. Colony formation was used to analyze radiosensitivity enhancement by tetrandrine in TE1cells. Western blotting was preformed to measure the cyclin B1 protein levels. Results Tetrandrine inhibited cell growth in a concentration and time depedant manner. The inhibition of proliferation was observed when cells were treated by 1.0, 5.0 and 10. 0 μg/ml tetrandrine for 24 h after irradiation ( P ＜0. 05;F= 3.09, 10.43 and 24. 00, respectively). The inhibition was more significant when cell were treated by 0. 1, 1.0, 5.0 and 10. 0 μg/ml tetrandrine for 48 h than 24 hours after irradiation (F =4. 12,12. 77, 44. 28, and 48.53 respectively ,all P ＜ 0. 01 ). The D0, Dq and SF2 decreased with the increase of the tetrandrine concentration. The maximal sensitizing enhancement ratio was 1.60 with 0. 5 μg/ml tetrandrine. Tetrandrine upregulated the expression of cyclin B1 and removed G2 / M arrest . Conclusions Tetrandrine can enhance radiosensitivity of TE1 cells. This effect may be associated with the increase of cyclin B1 expression to remove G2/M arrest.

Background and purpose:It has been reported that gap junctional (GJ) function was signiifcantly decreased in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cell lines. However, the increased GJ suppress tumorigenesis and the development of liver cancer. This study therefore aimed to examine the effect of simvastatin on GJ function between Hep3b cells. Thus, the exploition of drugs to increase GJ function between liver cancer cells will provide an efifcient approach to ifght against liver tumor as well as increase cytotoxicity of antitumor agents.Methods:SRB was used to assay the toxicity of simvastatin. The effect of simvastatin on GJ function was determined by “Parachute” dye-coupling assay and scrape loading/dye transfer assay.Results:Pretreated Hep3b cells with simvastatin at the concentration of 1, 5 or 10 μmol/L for 24 h did not induce the cytotoxicity. So simvastatin at the concentration of 5 and 10 μmol/L would not reduce the amount of GJ on cell membranes. “Parachute” dye-coupling assay showed that the treatment with 5 and 10 μmol/L simvastatin for 4 h enhanced the dye spread through GJ in Hep3b cells. Similarly, scrape loading/dye transfer assay showed that simvastatin could induce the increasing spread of lucifer yellow (Ly, Sigma) around the scoifng cells with increasing concentrations.Conclusion:Simvastatin could increase the GJ function of Hep3b cells.

AimThe effect of herbal tongxinluo on the thrombus formation and neointimal hyperplasia of the balloon injured rabbit abdominal aorta and iliac artery was observed. Methods36 New zealand rabbits were divided randomly into 3 groups: tongxinluo group(16 rabbits); aspirin group(11 rabbits) and control group(9 rabbits). The rabbits were treated with herb tongxinluo 0.38g·kg-1 · d-1, aspirin 50mg·kg-1 · d -1 and 0.09% natrium chloride 10 ml · d-1 alternatively. The arterial injury model was made 1 week after taking the medicine and the injured segments were taken at 24 hours,1 week or 1 month after the procedure, then the samples were stained by hematoxylin and eosin. The thrombus formation and the neointimal hyperplasia of the injured arteries were observed under microscope. Results The arterial neointimal hyperplasia was seen in both abdominal aorta and iliac artery 24 hours and 7 days after the balloon injury in each group,which led to stenosis in 5%～40% of the arterial lumen, the neointimal hyperplasia was much more significant in 2 rabbits 1 month after the balloon injury. The ratio of the arteries with thrombosis in aspirin group was less than that in the other 2 groups, but the difference was not significant. The ratio of neointimal hyperplasia in tongxinluo group was significantly less than that in aspirin and control groups. Conclusion The balloon injured rabbit abdominal aorta and iliac artery appeare to be an ideal model in researching restenosis after percutaneous transluminar coronary angioplasty(PTCA) . Herbal Tongxinluo significantly inhibit the neointimal hyperplasia of the balloon injured rabbit peripheral arteries, which indicate that herbal Tongxinluo might be a promising medicine in preventing restenosis.
