OBJECTIVE:
To explore the application of the Dexmedetomidine utend drug induced sleep endoscopy.
METHOD:
Forty-four OSAHS patients diagnosed by PSG randomly were divided into group A (Dexmedetomidine group) and group B (Propofol group), each group of 22 cases. Group A: pump the Dexmedetomidine (1 microg/kg) over 15 minutes. Once the patient reached a satisfactory level of sedation, the electronic nasopharyngoscope was introduced into the nasal cavity group B: the propofol (2 mg/kg) was intravenous injected, use the same exmination after the object patients falling asleep. If not, double the injection dose of the two group. Observe and record the patient vital signs, EEG and sleep time, and handle the complications.
RESULT:
The study was successfully completed both in group A and B. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) in group B was lower than group A during the examination significantly (P < 0.05). The time falling to sleep in two groups were (13.4 +/- 2.5) min and (6.6 +/- 1.2) min, and the time in group A was much longer than that in group B. The lowest oxygen saturation during the examination in two groups were 0.835 +/- 0.096 and 0.691 +/- 0.095, and the difference was statistically significant. There was no incidence of adverse reactions in two groups.
CONCLUSION
Compared with propofol, Dexmedetomidine is a safer sleep-inducing drug, and it can be used for clinical sleep endoscopy.

Objective Using recombinant TrxTSHRc protein which contains TSBAb antigen epitope as antigen, an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was established. The cut-off of positive values of TSH receptor antibody (TRAb) was established. Methods Using recombinant TrxTSHRc protein as antigen, the optimum condition was determined, and the indirect ELISA for detecting TRAb (TRAb-C) in the serum of normal control subjects and thyroid disease patients was established. A total of 1 085 patients and healthy controls were tested for this antibody. Results TRAb-C ELISA mainly detected TSBAb. The A405((-x)±s) value in healthy group was 0. 319±0. 107 with a cut-off value ((-x)±2 s)of 0. 533. The positive rate in thyroid disease patients showed significant deviation, with 66. 01 % in patients with Hashimoto's thyroiditis, 41.68% in newly-diagnosed Graves'disease, 6.98% in simple goiter, 11.1% in subacute thyroiditis, 8.7% in nontoxic thyroid nodular goiter, and 3.2% in thyroid adenoma. Conclusion The TRAb-C ELISA mainly detects TSBAb, which is very valuable for autoimmune thyroid disease, especially for the diagnosis, prognosis and therapy evaluation in Hashimoto' s thyroiditis.

Refractory ulcer is a commonly seen disease clinically. We believe the therapeutic strategies for refractory ulcer should include changing life style, standardizing medication, tracing observation, and rechecking in regularity. Traditional Chinese medicine combined with western medicine can be used for the treatment. When the therapeutic effect is not good, diagnosis and therapeutic methods need to be re-judged.Local therapy and operation can be performed if necessary.

AIM:To explore the effect of homocysteine (Hcy)-mediated endoplasmic reticulum stress on lipid metabolism in hepatocytes.METHODS: HepG2 cells used in the study were treated with 5 mmol/L Hcy. The concentrations of Hcy, triglycerides (TGE) and cholesterol (CHO) in the cells were measured. In high methionine diet-induced hyperhomocysteinemia C57BL/6 mice, the concentrations of TGE and CHO in hepatocytes were analyzed. The mRNAs and proteins expressions of glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP-78) and sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP-1) were also assessed.RESULTS: The concentrations of Hcy and lipids (TGE, CHO) in HepG2 cells at different time point were elevated after treated with 5 mmol/L Hcy (P0.05,vs 0 week). The mRNAs and proteins expressions of GRP-78 and SREBP-1 in mice at different time point after high methionine diet were higher than that at 0 week (P

Objective: To establish a new method for determining residual organic solvent DMF in imiquimod. Methods: The samples were injected into an Agilent HP-PLOT/Q capillary column(30 m × 0. 530 mm,40. 0 μm) by a headspace sampler and ana-lyzed with an FID detector, the carrier gas was nitrogen, the inlet temperature was 250℃, and the detector temperature was 270℃. The column temperature was programmed raised. Results: The resolution among the peaks of DMF and the other residual solvents could meet the requirements. There was a good linearity within the experimental concentration range. The average recovery was 94. 6%(RSD=4. 0%, n=9). The limit of quantification and the limit of detection was 4. 809μg·ml-1 and 0. 963μg·ml-1, respectively. Conclusion:The method is convenient, accurate and sensitive, which can be used in the determination of residual solvent DMF in imi-quimod.

Objective To investigate whether chlorophyllin could protect human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC) against oxidative damage by inducing the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and to explore the underlying mechanism.Methods The cellular protection of chlorophyllin against oxidative damage was detected by cell-survival assay with flow cytometry.The level of free radicals was detected directly by electron spin resonance spectra.The induced expression of HO-1 was shown by RT-PCR,Western blot,immunofluorescence confocal laser microscopy and enzymatic activity test.Whether the activation of PI3K/Akt pathway was involved was detected by Western blot.Results Chlorophyllin could protect HUVEC against oxidative damage caused by H2O2 via scavenging the excessive free radicals.Chlorophyllin treatment could induce expression of HO-1 in a dose- and time-dependent manner.The activation of PI3K/Akt pathway was required in the induction of HO-1.LY294002,the specific inhibitor of PI3K,could suppress the activation of PI3K/Akt and the induced expression of HO-1 in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusions Chlorophyllin shows cellular protection against oxidative damage by counteracting the excessive free radicals.Up-regulation of HO-1 expression plays a pivotal role in the protection of chlorophyllin,while the activation of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is required in the induction of HO-1.

Objective To observe the degree of joint flexion and extension of elbow and knee joints of moderate skeletal fluorosis patients before and after treatment and to assess the effects of Gun's MaQian decoction in treating moderate skeletal fluorosis. Methods 54 moderate skeletal fluorosis patients were randomly recruited into a treatment group and a control group. The treatment group was treated with Gun's MaQian decoction initially, and changed to be treated with GuKangNing capsule after 8 weeks' treatment. The control group was treated with placebo at first, and also changed to be treated with GuKangNing capsule after 8 weeks. Results Joint flexion and extension of elbow was improved greatly in both groups after the treatment, while the treatment group showing better effects than the control group (P<0.05). The improvement of joint flexion and extension of knee had not showed a statistical significance after the treatment. A 24 weeks follow-up to the joint flexion and extension of both elbow and knee revealed obvious improvement and the difference between the two groups were significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Gun's MaQian decoction can improve the flexion and extension of elbow and knee in moderate skeletal fluorosis patients.
