Objectives To investigate the effect of carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum on postoperative cognitive dysfunction and the level of serum NSE and S-100β protein in female patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopy. Methods 60 ASA physical status Ⅰ patients were divided two groups, group Ⅰ received no insufflation andconventional abdominal surgery ( n = 30) and group Ⅱ received abdominal insufflation and gynecological laparoscopy ( n =30). MMSE was recorded at several different time points, including one day before operation, 1, 6, 24, 48, 72h after operation, and before discharge. Serum S-100β protein and NSE was measured by ELISA before the beginning of operation ( or carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum) and 1h after operation (or carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum). Results MMSE values at 1,6,24,48,72h decreased significantly in group Ⅱ (24. 67 ± 1.47,25.97 ± 1.50,26. 77 ± 1.61,27.07 ± 1.87,27.37 ± 2. 06) after operation, compared with group Ⅰ (27.63 ± 1. 33,27.27 ± 0. 87,28.37 ± 0. 85,28.73 ±0. 78,29. 23 ±0. 86, P <0. 01 ). And the baseline value (29. 17 ±0. 76) of serum S-100β[(0. 114 ±0. 012,0. 086 ±0. 009) μg/L] protein and NSE [( 13. 720 ± 1. 330,12. 093 ±0. 697) μg/L] increased significantly at 1h after operation in group Ⅰ and Ⅱ compared with before operation [(0. 035 ±0. 030,0. 035 ±0.024;5.753±0.889,5.831 ±0.967)μg/L, P <0.01]. Serum S-100 β protein[(0. 114 ±0.012) μg/L] increased significantly at 1h after operation in group Ⅱ, compared with group Ⅰ [(0. 086 ±0. 009) μg/L,P < 0. 05], whereas NSE showed not difference [( 12. 093 ± 0. 697,13. 720 ± 1. 330) μg/L, P > 0. 05].Serum of S-100β protein and MMSE were significantly correlated w group Ⅰ and Ⅱ ( r = 0. 6412,0. 8126, P <0.01). Serum NSE was not correlated with the MMSE score in group Ⅰ ( r =0.4397, P >0.05),whereas NSE and MMSE had significant correlation in group Ⅱ ( r = 0. 7111, P <0. 01 ). Conclusions Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum in patients with gynecological surgery might affect postoperative cognitive function, and MMSE score was negatively correlated with serum S-100β and NSE proteins.

Otjective To study whether there is the apoptosis of neural cells and the expressionof Bcl-2 protein in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in model of rats, for the further understanding the mechanism of the delayed damage of the neural cells around the hematoma after ICH. Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, ten in each. With the Group A as the control, the rest 40 were used to set up intracerebral hemorrhage model. The brains were taken out at 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours, respectively. Apoptosis cells were detected with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected with immunochemical stainging methed (SP). Results In the control group, no apoptosis cells and Bcl-2protein were detected. In rest groups, the apoptosis cells and Bcl-2 protein were expressed in different degree.Apoptosis rates verified and corresponded with the time after ICH, with the peak at 48th -72th hour after hemorrhage.The peak rate of apoptosis cells was (24. 50± 2.69)% and Bcl-2 protein expression was (20. 76 ± 1.97)% . There was significant difference between the experimental groups and control (P＜0.05), and no linear relationship between the apoptosis rate and the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Conclusion Apoptosis may be an important factor in the secondary trauma of ICH. There is a time leg after hemorrhage. All this is instructive to clinical treatment in time. Bcl-2 protein keeps increasing in a certain time after hemorrhage, but not synchronize with the cell apoptosis. This indicates that bcl-2 has the effect to reduce the apoptosis of neural cells.

OBJECTIVETo detect the clinical value of the ECT bone scan in evaluating of the situation of infection control after hip knee arthroplasty.

METHODSThe clinical data were retrospectively analyzed in 62 patients, including 34 males and 28 females with an average age of 68.8 years old ranging from 65 to 74 years. The results of ECT bone scan, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein were used to assess periprosthetic infection. The patients with positive ECT and ESR on CRP were considered to have periprosthetic infection; however, the patients with two or more negative, indexes were considered to have no infection.

RESULTSThe sensitivity, specificity, accurate rate of ECT were 75.0%, 88.9%, 87.1% respectively; ESR 50.0%, 72.2%, 69.4%; CRP 62.5%, 81.4%, 79.0%. The combination of the three methods were 87.5%, 96.3% and 95.2%,

CONCLUSIONCompared with ESR and CRP, ECT is a more effective way in the diagnosis of periprosthetic infection, which has great value and is worth popularizing.

miRNAs were discovered less than a decade ago, and have emerged as important regulators of gene expression in mammals. A large number of miRNAs have been identified to be located within the intronic regions of protein-encoding genes(host genes) and called intronic miRNAs. The intronic miRNAs may play a key role in regulating the expression and function of their host genes due to the fact that most of them are co-expressed with the host genes. In this paper, the recent advances on the research on potential relationship between intronic miRNAs and their host genes are reviewed.
