Objective:To study the significance of QT dispersion(QTd) changes in electrocardiogram(ECG) after coronary artery bypass graft. Methods:Forty eight patients scheduled for elective coronary artery bypass graft were studied. The changes of QTd were monitored by 12 lead electrocardiogram system before surgery (as baseline values), at the end of surgery, and 1 4 d and 7 d after surgery.Results:The baseline values for QTd was (56.32?2.25) ms.QTd were significantly longer as compared to the baseline values ( P

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Artesunate(Art) on the LX-2 cell.
METHODSThe cultured hepatic stellate cells were divided into control group and Art-treated groups with 250,350,450 µmol/L. The rate of cellular proliferation was detected by MIT assay, the content of ceramide (Cer)was determined by HPLC method, the content of hydroxyproline (Hyp) was determined by enzyme digestion method, the expressions of PPAR-γ, p53 and Caspase 3 were detected by Western blot.
RESULTSCompared with control group, IX-2 treated with Art were inhibited in a concentration-dependent manner(P < 0.01). Art could significantly increase the content of cerarnide in LX-2 ( P <0.01), and the content of Hyp was significantly decreased (P <0.05, P <0.01). The expressions of PPAR-γ, p53 and Caspase 3 were increased compared with that of control group(P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONArtesunate could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of hepatic stellate cells through upregulating ceramide.

Using bioactive compounds 7-hydroxy flavone, salicylaldehyde, cinnamic acid and 4-amino-5- mercapto-1,2,4-triazoles as starting materials, three new types of flavone derivatives containing 1,2,4-triazole structure were synthesized via different step reactions. These new compounds were characterized by 1IHNMR, ESI-MS, IR and elemental analysis. Their scavenging effects on the superoxide radical (O2·-), hydroxyl radical (·OH), DPPH · radical and their total reduction activities were tested. The results showed that all of the compounds possessed some antioxidative activity at the concentration of 0.5 mg · mL(-1), but the scavenging ability of the target compounds was lower than that of the standard compound Vc.

Objective To compare the effects of methylprednisolone and dexamethasone individually combined with tropisetron on the prevention of postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) of high risk in patients with thyroid surgery.Methods One hundred and sixty patients of high risk of postoperative nausea and vomiting scheduled for radical operation of thyroid with general anesthesia were randomly divided into four groups with 40 cases each.Four groups of the patients were intravenously injected methylprednisolone 40 mg plus tropisetron 5 mg at the end of the operations (group MT),dexamethasone 7.5 mg before anesthesia induction,and tropisetron 5 mg at the end of the operations (group DT),tropisetron 5 mg at the end of the operations (group T),and normal saline (group C).Incidence and severity of nausea,vomiting and adverse reactions were recorded during 24 hours after end of the operations.Results Compared to group DT,the incidences of PONV during the 0 ~ 2 h and 2 ~ 6 h,and the visual analogue scale (VAS) of PONV at 2 h after the operations in group MT were significantly lower (P < 0.05).Compared to group C,the incidences of PONV and VAS score during the 0 ~ 24 h after the operations in group MT and group DT were significantly lower (P <0.05),the incidences of PONV during the 2 ~6 h and 6 ~ 12 h after the operations,and VAS score of PONV at 6 h and 12 h after the operations in group T were significantly lower (P <0.05).Compared to group C,incidences of headache in group MT and group DT were significantly lower (P < 0.05),and incidence of swim in group T was also significantly lower (P < 0.05).Incidence of adverse reactions in group MT and group DT were no significant difference.Conclusions Preventive effect of methylprednisolone combined with tropisetron for PONV in high-risk patients within 6 hours after thyroid surgery was significantly better than that of dexamethasone combined with tropisetron.

Objective:Taking Chongyang county of Hubei Province as an example, the paper describes the in-tegration of the maternal and child health ( MCH) and family planning ( FP) service system and analyses the key ele-ments to provide reference for promoting integration. Methods: qualitative interviews and quantitative questionnaire were used to collect data. The software QSR Nvivo 8. 0 and SPSS 17. 0 were used for qualitative and quantitative data analysis. Results:Based on the correct understanding of integration, Chongyang implements the supporting policies actively, maintains the original compensation mode unchanged, follows the principle of“no reducing headcounts and no downsizing” strictly, promotes the merger of institutions rapidly, adjusts the service contents and methods reasona-bly, and integrates the maternal and child and family planning information platform. Conclusion:The correct concept of integration, appropriate staffing, and stable funding in Chongyang provide rich experiences for future research. However, there is room for improvement in staffing, incentive mechanisms, service content, and forms.

AlM:To explore the primary culture conditions for four kinds of lens epithelial cells ( LECs) of rat, rabbit, dog, and human, and measure their growth characteristics.METHODS:The lens capsule or anterior capsular tissue of rat, rabbit, dog and patient were removed by different methods, and they were cut into tiny pieces for primary culture by modified tissue adherent method. The morphological features of four kinds of LECs were observed under an inverted microscope.RESULTS: Four kinds of LECs of rat, rabbit, dog and human could be cultured primarily by tissue adherent method. With the evolution of tissue source, the adherent capacity of LECs gradually strengthened, cells form were changed from irregular polygon to oval, nucleus rounded and cytoplasm enriched gradually. Four kinds of LECs had fibrotic changes after several passages.CONCLUSlON: LECs of rat, rabbit, dog and human can be primarily cultured. This method lays the foundation for the mechanism research of caratact and related fields on the cellular and molecular levels.
