AIM,To verify whether p73;a homologue of p53,which supposed]y acts as a tumor suppressor gene in neuroblastoma,might also be a tumor suppressor in non-small cell lung cancer.METHODS:The allelic expres-sion of p73 in the six non-small cell lung cancer cell lines was studied by Sty I polymorphism analysis.The P73 gene ex.pressions in these six cell lines were examined by reverse transcription-PCR,the expressions of P73 protein in the five cell lines inducing tumor8 were also determined by immunohistochemistry.RESULTS:Homozygous allelic expression was dem.onstrated in all six cell lines and the GC/GC genotype Was the predominant type.Complete loss of the p73 expression both at mRNA and the protein level was revealed.CONCLUSION:Taken together,our data suggest that p73 might play a role as a tumor suppressor gene in human non-small cell lung cancer cell lines.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane postconditioning on intestinal ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Thirty-six adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-220 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =9 each):sham operation group (group Sham),group I/R,ischemic postconditioning group (group Ipo) and sevoflurane postconditioning group (group Sevo).Intestinal I/R was induced by clamping the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) for 60 min followed by 120 min of reperfusion in groups I/R,Ipo and Sevo.In group Ipo the animals were subjected to 3 cycles of 30 min reperfusion-30 min ischemia starting from the beginning of reperfusion.The animals inhaled 1.15％ sevoflurane for 30 min starting from the beginning of reperfusion in group Sevo.The animals were sacrificed at 120 min of reperfusion and then the small intestines were removed for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity (by colorimetric method) and caspase-3 protein expression in intestinal tissues (by Western blot).The density of apoptotic cells was calculated by TUNEL.Results Compared with group Sham,the intestinal injury score,density of apoptotic cells and MDA content were significantly increased,SOD activity was decreased,and caspase-3 protein expression was up-regulated in groups I/R,Ipo and Sevo (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group l/R,the intestinal injury score,density of apoptotic cells and MDA content were significantly decreased,SOD activity was increased,and caspase-3 protein expression was down-regulated in groups Ipo and Sevo (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the intestinal injury score,density of apoptotic cells,SOD activity,MDA content and caspase-3 protein expression between Sevo and Ipo groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Sevoflurane postconditioning can attenuate intestinal I/R injury through reducing lipid peroxidation and cell apoptosis in rats,and the protective effect is similar to that of ischemic post-conditioning.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of a series of cytokines and peripheral blood immunocyte subsets before and after immunosuppressive therapy in patients with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP).Methods The percentages of immunocyte subsets in the peripheral blood of 20 patients with ITP and 20 healthy controls were detected by flow cytometry,including CD3+,CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,CD1~.ELISA was applied to detect the level of serum TNFα,IL-2,IL-6,IL-4,IL-10,IL-11,IL-17,IL-27,transforming growth factor β (TGFβ),thrombopoietin (TPO) of 20 patients with ITP and 20 healthy controls.Results The percentage of CD3+ T lymphocyte,CD4+ T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4+ / CD8+ T lymphocyte in patients with ITP were lower than those in healthy controls [(62.66 ± 6.58) ％ vs (69.93 ± 4.81) ％,(29.46 ± 5.02) ％ vs (39.08 ± 3.50) ％,0.97 ± 0.35 vs 1.56 ± 0.26,all P ＜ 0.05].After immunosuppressive therapy,the percentage of CD3+ T lymphocyte,CD4+ T lymphocyte and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ T lymphocyte [(71.49 ±5.16)％,(39.25 ±3.21)％ and 1.56 ±0.28] recovered to the same levels in healthy controls.The percentage of CD8+ T lymphocyte and CD19+ B lymphocyte in patients with ITP were higher than those in the healthy controls [(30.28 ±4.63)％ vs (25.90±3.06)％,(18.92 ± 4.27)％ vs (13.17 ± 3.64)％,all P ＜ 0.05].After treatment of immunosuppressive therapy,the percentage of CD8+ T lymphocyte and CD19+ B lymphocyte [(25.16 ± 3.45) ％ and (11.98 ± 3.68) ％] recovered to the similar levels in healthy controls.The serum levels of IL-4,IL-6,IL-11,IL-17 and TPO in patients with ITP were significantly higher than those in healthy controls.While TGFβ level was significantly decreased.There was no significant difference of IL-27 between ITP patients and healthy controls.After the treatment of immunosuppressive therapy,IL-4,IL-6,IL-11,IL-17,TPO and TGFβ were down-regulated while IL-27 was up-regulated.There was no significant difference of IFNγ,TNFα,IL-2 and IL-10 among ITP patients before or after immunosuppressive therapy and healthy controls.Conclusions The present study suggests that the aberrant immunocyte subsets and cytokines are involved in the pathogenesis of ITP.Hyper-function of Th2 and Th17,dysfunction of Treg cells,up-regulation of IL-27,IL-11,TPO and other factors may contribute to the pathogenesis of ITP.

Objective To investigate effects of different ventilation methods during pulmonary surfactant(PS) administration on cerebral oxygen metabolism in preterm infants with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome.Methods Newborns met the inclusion criteria were enrolled into this study,and they were randomly divided into manual group and mechanical group.During PS administration,the proximal end of the tracheal tube was connected to a bag valve mask device in the manual group or a mechanical ventilator in the mechanical group.Brain near infrared spectroscopy monitoring was carried out to detect the cerebral oxygen saturation(ScO2),and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) was simultaneously recorded.Results For all 49 preterm infants,PS was administered to preterm infants with severe respiratory distress syndrome treated with mechanical ventilation,including 24 cases of manual ventilation and 25 cases of mechanical ventilation.The left cerebral ScO2 and correlation coefficient of ScO2 and MABP(rScO2-MABP) showed no difference in both groups before PS administration.During administration,ScO2 dramatically increased in both groups [manual group:(85.88 ± 5.54) ％ vs.(77.31 ± 5.40) ％,t =5.521,P =0.000;mechanical group:(83.88 ± 3.18) ％ vs.(76.53 ±4.38)％,t =6.741,P =0.000],and gradually decreased after administration,the level of ScO2 didn't return to the baseline till the 2nd 5 minutes after PS administration [manual group:(79.25 ± 3.02) ％ vs.(77.31 ± 5.40) ％,t =1.560,P =0.220;mechanical group:(78.59 ± 3.45) ％ vs.(76.53 ± 4.38) ％,t =1.832,P =0.074].The same trend of ScO2 change rate was shown simultaneously in both groups.The rScO2-MABP markedly increased during administration in both groups (manual group:2.34 ±0.16 vs.1.86 ±0.21,t =9.022,P =0.000;mechanical group:2.12 ± 0.15 vs.1.87 ±0.21,t =4.810,P =0.000).The rScO2-MABt,in mechanical group rapidly decreased to baseline during the 1st5 minutes (1.84 ± 0.18 vs.1.87 ± 0.21,t =0.538,P =0.635) but went back to baseline in manual group during the 2nd 5 minutes(1.84 ±0.19 vs.1.86-0.21,t =0.350,P =0.809).Change rates of rScO2-MABP were markedly higher in manual group than those in mechanical group during the 1 st 5 minutes (1.15 ± 0.13 vs.1.00 ± 0.15,t =4.943,P =0.000).Conclusions ScO2 could be affected transiently by PS administration with different methods of ventilation.The effect on cerebral autoregulation in mechanical group is shorter than that in manual group.

Objective To observe the changes of abdominal oxygen saturation in very low birth weight infants (VLBWI)with feeding intolerance (FI)within 1 4 days after birth monitored by near infrared spectroscopy (NIRS).Methods VLBWI fitting entry criteria were enrolled into this study.NIRS monitoring was carried out to detect cerebral oxygen saturation (ScO2 )and abdominal oxygen saturation (SsO2 ).Data were analyzed between FI infants and feeding tolerance (FT)infants.FI was defined as follows:gastric residual of more than 50% of the previous feeding volume;emesis or abdominal distention or both;decrease,delay or discontinuation of enteral feedings. Results 93 VLBWI were enrolled.52 cases(55.91 %)presented with FI,including 29 cases(31 .1 9%)of gastric residual increasing and 23 cases(24.73%)of emesis with or without abdominal distention within 1 4 days after birth. The levels of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 showed no differences in infants with FT and with FI within 24h after birth (P >0.05).The change rates of the median of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 in FT infants were similar during 1 4 days (P >0.05).While both the change rates of SsO2 and SsO2 /ScO2 were markedly decreased 1 day before and the day of FI (P <0.01 ).The decreasing degree of SsO2 was similar between infants with gastric residual increasing and infants with emesis with or without abdominal distention[(1 6.2 ±5.1 )vs (1 7.4 ±3.6)%,t =0.733,P =0.476]. Conclusion Abdominal oxygen saturation measured by NIRS may be a useful method for infants adjusting the feeding plan.

Objective To investigate the epididymal sperm ultrastructure after vasectomy. Methods During the operation of vasovasostomy (38 cases, test group) and vasectomy (13 cases,control group,group A) the proximal vas deferens fluids were collected.The epididymal sperm morphology in the proximal vas deferens fluids was observed using optical and electronic microscopes.Data were analyzed by SPSS program. Results The data from group A showed that there was no significant difference between left and right side in the percentage of normal sperm morphology.The results from both optical and electronic microscopes showed that there was a significant difference in the percentage of normal sperm morphology (a),abnormal sperm head (b),sperm with neck defect (c) and sperm with tail defect (d) between group A and group B(5 years after vasectomy). (electronic microscopes:(a):(40.28?11.53)% vs (16.80?7.93)%,(6.29? 4.57 )%,( 4.63? 5.06 )%; (b):(35.00?14.18)% vs (59.05?14.44)%,(63.43?15.23)%,(82.05? 16.71 )%;(c):(20.83? 6.40 )% vs (13.60?6.78)%,( 14.71? 6.82)%,(9.00?7.18)%;(d):(3.89?4.44)% vs (10.55?11.73)%,(15.57?9.81)%,(4.32?7.65)%. optical microscopes:(a):(49.12?20.55)% vs (19.95?15.42)%,(10.00?9.50)%,(5.84?9.63)%; (b):(35.00?14.55)% vs (22.55?16.24)%,(14.71?15.78)%,(10.68?18.65)%; (d):(15.80?9.55)% vs (57.50?24.74)%,(75.29?23.90)%,(78.21?30.33)%.There existed multi-cell organ and multi-form abnormalities in the inner structures of sperm heads,necks and tails. Conclusions The epididymal sperm defect (including head, neck and tail) after vasectomy was demonstrated in the inner cell organs.The longer after vasectomy, the higher percentage of sperm with abnormality was found.

Objective To compare the application of Shikani optical stylet(SOS)and Clarus Video Sty-let(Tracway)in patient with cervical spine immobilization in tracheal intubation. Method Sixty patients,ASAⅠ~Ⅱ,undergoing cervical internal fixation operation,were randomly divided into Shikani optical stylet group (Group S,n = 30)and Clarus Video Stylet group(Group T,n = 30). MAP,HR and RPP(The rate-pressure product)were recorded at the point before induction of anesthesia(T1),before intubation(T2),at the immediate time of intubation(T3)and 1 min(T4),3 mins(T5),and 5 mins after intubation(T6).The intubation time,one-time success rate of intubation,the number of intubation times and the incidence of sore throat and other complica-tions were observed. Results The one-time intubation time in group S was obviously shorter than that in group T (P<0.05).The incidence of mild sore throat and intubation throat injury rate were lower in group S than those in group T(P<0.05).Compared with those at T1,MAP and RPP decreased significantly at point of T2~T6in both of two groups(P<0.05).There was no significantly difference in MAP,HR and RPP at any points of time between the two groups. The one-time success rate of intubation,the number of intubation times and the incidence of air-way complications in two groups(P>0.05)were no significantly different. Conclusions Compared with Clarus Video Stylet(Tracway),Shikani optical stylet can shorten the intubation time in patients with cervical spine immo-bilization,but no difference was found in regard to the hemodynamic influence on intubation,success rate of intu-bation,the intubation times,the sore throat and the other related complications.

Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique for analgesia after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).Methods:Sixty patients of both sexes, aged 65-80 yr, with body mass index of 18-27 kg/m 2, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱor Ⅲ, scheduled for elective unilateral TKA under general anesthesia, were enrolled in this study.Peripheral nerve block was performed for postoperative analgesia under ultrasound guidance.All the patients were allocated into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: adductor canal block combined with posterior approach to sciatic nerve block group (group ASB) and adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique including sciatic nerve, medial vastus muscle nerve, saphenous nerve, anterior femoral cutaneous nerve at adductor canal level group (group ANSB). When visual analogue scale score ≥4 during postoperative movement, ketorolac tromethamine 0.6 mg/kg was intravenously injected as rescue analgesic. The muscle strength of quadriceps on the affected side, range of knee joint motion and rate of the ability to walk for 10 m using the walker were recorded at 2, 8, 24 and 48 h after surgery.The consumption of analgesics for rescue analgesia, manipulation completion time, length of hospital stay and patients′ satisfaction score were recorded within 48 h after surgery. Results:Compared with group ASB, the consumption of ketorolac tromethamine was significantly reduced, manipulation completion time and length of hospital stay were shortened, patients′ satisfaction scores were increased, and the range of knee joint motion and rate of the ability to walk for 10 m using the walker were increased at 2, 8, 24 and 48 h after surgery in group ANSB ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in muscle strength of quadriceps between two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Ultrasound-guided adductor canal approach to nerve block using one-puncture four-point technique provides better efficacy than adductor canal block combined with posterior approach to sciatic nerve block when used for analgesia after TKA.

Objective To study the feasibility and practicability of contralateral saphenous vein bypass in the treatment of chronic femoral vein obstruction.Methods A retrospective analysis was consisted of 33 patients who received contralateral great saphenous vein bypass during the period of June 2013 to June 2017 in the Deperrtment of Biloary Vascular Surgery of Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University.All patients after operation were followed up of 2 months deadline to August 2017 by telephone or outpatient,the follow-up content including lower limb activity after resting and subjective sensation,lower limb swelling degree and so on.The measurement data was expressed by mean standard deviation ((x) ± s),paired samples t test was used for comparison among groups.Linear correlation coefficient was used to describe the difference between ankle circumference and the time to maintain anticoagulation therapy after acute thrombosis,then we explored the effect and advantages of this surgical methods.Results Compared with the preoperative index,the activated partial thromboplastin time [(21.93 ± 3.36) svs(18.11 ±2.24)s,P＜0.05],the thrombus elastic map R value[(5.45 ±0.73)min vs(4.20 ± 0.39) min,P ＜ 0.05],the D-dimer [(3 502.79 ± 4 028.02) μg/L vs (5127.76 ± ± 4722.42) μg/L,P ＜ 0.05] and the ankle circumference [(22.23 ± 1.28) cm vs (25.38 ± 0.78) cm,P ＜ 0.05] were improved,and the prothrombin time [(12.63 ± 1.74) s vs (12.32 ± 1.14),P ＞0.05] showed no difference before and after the operation (P ＞ 0.05).With the extension of time,the effect of bypass on the treatment of lower limb edema weakened.Postoperative follow-up indicated that 33 cases of patients were unobstructed and returned to normal state,21 cases could tolerated normal physical activity and had no or mild swelling,12 cases occasional had moderate swelling while the swelling could disappear after lying down for a rest,symmetric of double lower limbs in all patients returned to acceptable degree and did not affect the clothing or appearance.Conclusion The contralateral saphenous vein bypass operation has better effect and less trauma,it can improve the lower limb edema and endogenous coagulation system of chronic obstructive iliac vein disease,and the effect is better after conservative treatment for half a year.

Objective:To investigate the risk factors affecting the delay of recovery in patients under general anesthesia.Methods:Patients who underwent radical mastectomy for breast cancer in our hospital from Jul. 2020 to Aug. 2022 were selected as the research objects, and the effective data of 80 patients were obtained after screening. The patients were divided into the non-delayed recovery group (54 cases) and the delayed recovery group (26 cases). The general conditions and perioperative data of the two groups were compared, and the high-risk factors affecting delayed recovery from anesthesia were analyzed using the Logistic hazard proportional regression model. Results:In general, there were no significant differences in body mass index, hypertension, diabetes, tumor size, tumor subtype, tumor location, or tumor stage between the non-delayed awakening group and the delayed awakening group (all P>0.05). The average age of patients in the wake-up delay group was (53.28±11.01), the proportion of anemia was 42.30% (11/26), and the proportion of ASA Ⅱ patients was 76.92% (20/26) compared with the average age of the non-wake-up delay group (46.89±6.91) ( t=3.17, P=0.002), the proportion of anemia was 20.37% (11/54) ( χ2=3.17, P=0.040), the proportion of ASA Ⅱ patients was 27.78% (15/54) ( χ2=17.22, P<0.001), which was significantly increased. In the perioperative data, there was no statistical significance in the intraoperative combined epidural anesthesia between the non-delayed recovery group and the delayed recovery group (all P>0.05). The data of the patients in the delayed recovery group, including average intraoperative blood loss (234.14±32.28), operation time (229.47±29.84), anesthesia time (246.14±35.64) and intraoperative compound sevoflurane inhalation accounted for 69.23% (18/26) ,which were significantly increased compared with the data of non-delayed recovery group following, including the average intraoperative blood loss (215.48±29.54) ( t=2.57, P=0.012), operation time (206.35±27.41) ( t=3.43, P=0.001), anesthesia time (215.61±28.54) ( t=4.13, P<0.001), intraoperative compound sevoflurane inhalation (44.44%, 24/54). Through Logistic hazard ratio regression analysis, it was found that age ( OR=1.15, 95% CI: 1.05-1.30, P=0.008), ASA Ⅱ grade ( OR=9.49, 95% CI: 2.05-60.94, P=0.008), intraoperative bleeding volume ( OR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.01-1.08, P=0.012), operation time ( OR=1.05, 95% CI: 1.01-1.08, P=0.009), and anesthesia time ( OR=1.04, 95% CI: 1.02-1.07, P=0.004) were high-risk factors affecting the delayed recovery from anesthesia. Conclusion:Increasing age, high grade of ASA, heavy intraoperative blood loss, long operation time and anesthesia time are independent risk factors affecting delayed recovery from anesthesia.
