Objective To investigate the effects of different depths of sedation during combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods Ninety ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-64 yr,with a body mass index of 19-30 kg/m2,scheduled for elective gynecological laparoscopic operation,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =30 each).Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and rocuronium.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of sevoflurane (end-tidal concentration 1.0%-1.5 %),iv infusion of remifentanil and intermittent iv boluses of rocuronium.The infusion rate of remifentanil was adjusted to maintain BIS value:30 < BIS value ≤ 40 in group Ⅰ,40 BIS value ≤ 50 in group Ⅱ and 50 < BIS value≤60 in group Ⅲ.Cognitive function was assessed using Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and TrailMaking Test (TMT) at 1 d before anesthesia and 1 d after surgery.Results MMSE scores were > 24 at 1 d before anesthesia and 1 d after surgery in all the three groups,and there was no significant difference within each group and among the three groups (P > 0.05).Compared with the baseline value,TMT completion time was significantly prolonged at 1 d after surgery in groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ,while shortened in group Ⅱ (P < 0.05).Compared with groups Ⅰ and Ⅲ,TMT completion time was significantly shortened at 1 d after surgery in group Ⅱ (P <0.05).Conclusion The depth of sedation,40 < BIS value ≤ 50,during combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia with sevoflurane and remifentanil has less influence on postoperative cognitive function in patients undergoing gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of catechin on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and its mechanism.Methods 40 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:sham operation group,model group and 50,100 and 200 mg·kg~(-1) catechin groups,with 8 rats in each group.The model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats was established with modified sutured-occluded method.The rats in catechin groups were injected with catechin at the matched concentration.The rats in sham operation group and model group were injected with saline.And all rats were given more time in 2 hours after ischemia.Rats were sacrificed for histologic examination after the behavioral test,and their brains were taken to assay the activities of MPO and NOS.Results Catechin at different dosages(50,100 and 200 mg·kg~(-1))could obviously decrease neurological deficit score,repair histological injury,and reduce the activities of MPO and NOS in rats of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.Conclusions Catechin can relieve the cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury,and its mechanism may be partly related to the effects of its antiinflammation and antioxidation.

Purpose To investigate the clinical value of gated myocardial perfusion imaging (GMPI) quantitative analysis technique in evaluating left ventricular remodeling and its effects on left ventricular function in patients with myocardial infarction (MI). Materials and Methods Seventy-six cases of MI patients were retrospectively analyzed, including pure left anterior descending artery (LAD) disease in 21 cases , left circumlfex artery (LCX) or right coronary branch (RCA) disease in 23 patients and multivessel disease in 32 cases. Seventy-four healthy people were additionally selected as control group. GMPI was performed on all subjects. Reconstruction images were automatically analyzed by using cardiac software QGS 2009 to obtain left ventricular remodeling index, including diastolic sphericity index (SIED) and end-systolic sphericity index (SIES). Cardiac function parameters were also obtained, including left ventricular end-diastolic volume (EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), and peak iflling rate (PFR). Differences of the left ventricular remodeling index and cardiac function parameters between the MI group and the control group were compared to analyze the relationship between left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction and coronary artery lesions. Results SIED, SIES and EDV, ESV in MI group were signiifcantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01). The cardiac function parameters of LVEF and PFR were significantly lower than those of the normal group (P<0.01). SIED and SIES in the group of LAD lesions and multi-vessel disease were signiifcantly higher than those in the LCX/RCA lesion group (P<0.05). The left ventricular remodeling was occurred more often in LAD lesion group and multi-vessel disease group than in the LCX/RCA lesion group (χ2=6.502 and 10.166, P<0.05). There was no significant difference between the LAD lesions group and multi-vessel disease group (χ2=0.105, P>0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that LVEF and PFR in group of left ventricular remodeling was signiifcantly lower with the increase of SIED (F=43.231 and 15.642, P<0.01). SIED and SIES analysis resulted in high correlation for both intra-observer and inter-observer (r=0.881-0.926, P<0.01). Conclusion Left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction can be accurately evaluated by GMPI. Patients with myocardial infarction due to LAD or multi-vessel coronary artery diseases may have left ventricular remodeling easier and more severe. Left ventricular remodeling will seriously affect the myocardial contraction and diastolic function, resulting in the entire left ventricular dysfunction.

Background and purpose:The recurrence and metastasis of gastric cancer seriously affect survival in patients.SOX gene as a regulatory factor of the classical Wnt pathway, may play an important role in the process. This study was to explore the expression of stem cell marker SOX-2 and β-catenin in gastric cancer and to analyze the relationship with recurrence and metastasis after operation.Methods:Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of SOX-2 and β-catenin in 71 tumor samples from 71 cases after surgery for gastric cancer. The correlation between SOX-2 and β-catenin expression and the clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer and disease-free survival was analyzed.Results:The SOX-2 protein expression was associated with metastasis, lymph node inifltration or differentiation (P=0.011,P=0.036,P=0.034) in the 71 gastric cancer, but not with gender, age or T stage. β-catenin expression was correlated with metastasis, lymph node invasion or T stage (P=0.025,P=0.014,P=0.026), but was not related to differentiation, gender or age. The survival analysis showed that SOX-2 and β-catenin expression was closely associated with prognosis of patients, and metastatic rate in positive expression was higher than that in negative expression.Conclusion:The expression of SOX-2 and β-catenin is associated with the development, recurrence, metastasis of gastric cancer and may be used as a useful prognostic parameter to predict overall survival.

Objective To explore the common causes of epilepsy and the etiologic characteristics in different age groups of patients with epilepsy.Methods A retrospective survey was made in 5572 epilepsy patients in Epileptic Center of Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital from January 2003 to December 2009.According to the diagnostic criteria published in 2005 from ILAE,all the diagnoses of 5572 cases were made by epileptic specialists.Based on history,cranial MRI or CT and pathologic data,causes of epilepsy were classified into idiopathic,symptomatic and cryptogenic epilepsy.The cases of symptomatic epilepsy were further arranged into different categories in different age grades,such as head trauma,perinatal injuries,infection in central nervous system, cerebral vascular disease, brain tumor, disorders of cortical development,neurocutaneous syndrome and others.The cases with febrile seizures and family history were collected,and positive ratio of febrile seizures and family history were contrasted in different categories of cases by Kruskal-Wallis test ( nonparametric test ).Results In 5572 cases,66 were idiopathic,2834 symptomatic,2672 cryptogenic,and the ratio of these causes was 1%,51%,48% respectively.Among 2834 cases of symptomatic epilepsy,822 were head trauma,497 were perinatal injuries,360 were infection in central nervous system,249 were brain tumor,150 were cerebral vascular disease,135 were disorders of cortical development,62 were neurocutaneous syndrome and 559 were others. In brief,head trauma,perinatal injuries,infection in central nervous system,brain tumor and cerebral vascular disease were top 5 causes of symptomatic epilepsy. Hippocampal sclerosis was found in 744 cases in those of eryptogenic epilepsy.The importance of febrile seizures( idiopathic:15.2% ( 10/66 ),symptomatic:6.5% ( 185/2834 ),cryptogenic:9.4% ( 250/2672 ) ; x2 =181.393,P =0.000 ) and family history ( idiopathic:83.3% ( 55/66 ),symptomatic:1.1% (31/2834),cryptogenic:0.4% (12/2672) ; x2 =68.354,P =0.000) was statistically different in different causes of epilepsy.Febrile seizures was the most frequent in cases with hippocampal sclerosis than those with other causes,and family history was the most frequent in neurocutaneous syndrome in symptomatic cases.Perinatal injurics was thc first causc in cases of infancy and childhood,head trauma was the top one in those of juvenile and adulthood,and cerebral vascular disease was the main cause in senile cases. Conclusions In the whole epileptic cases of 5572, 1% was idiopathic,51% was symptomatic,and 48% cryptogenic. The main causes of them were head trauma,perinatal injuries,infection in central nervous system,brain tumor,and cerebral vascular disease.

Triclosan, a broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent, was reported to have been widely detected in various human biological samples such as urine, blood and human milk among foreign populations. In China, limited reports have been found on human exposure to triclosan, and the reported urinary triclosan concentrations were significantly lower than that of American populations. Besides, the potential influencing factors still remain unclear regarding human exposure to triclosan, but evidences suggest that those in middle age and with higher household income and higher social class tend to have higher urinary triclosan concentrations. Furthermore, triclosan exposure tend to differ by sex, geography, heredity, metabolism and life style.
