Objective To evaluate the roles of K ATP channels in desflurane-induced myocardial protection from anoxia/reoxygenation injury Methods Primary cultured rat myocardial cells were randomly allocated to four groups: control group(A): without any treatment; anoxia/reoxygenation group(B): reoxygenation of 1 h following anoxia of 2 h; desflurane preconditioning group(C): 20 min of 9% desflurane preconditioning followed by 10 min washout before anoxia/reoxygenation and K ATP channel blocker group(D): adding glybenclamide at final concentration of 12?g/ml to culture medium 10 min before the same procedures as group C The activities of lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK), rates of cell viability and apoptosis, contents of cellular malondiadehyde (MDA) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and intracellular free calcium concentration were measured Results Compared with control group, anoxia/reoxygenation caused great increases of levels of LDH, CK, apoptosis and MDA ,and decreases of ATP and cell viability (P

0. 5mv. LAD occlusion was maintained for 50min and then released for reperfusion (120min) . Myocardial infarct size was measured by nitroblue tetrazolam at the end of experiment. Results There was no statistically significant difference in HR, MAP, cardiac output (CO), left ventricular systolic pressure (LVSP), left ventricular end-diastolic pressure ( LVEDP) and rate-pressure products ( RPP) among all groups during ischemia and early reperfusion period except for LVEDP in control group which was much higher than that in all preconditioning groups during the late reperfusion period. Compared with the control group, desflurane, sevoflurane, isoflurane and G+ desflurane reduced myocardial infarct size by 41%, 47%,31.7% and 17.8% respectively without significant homodynamic effects. Myocardial infarct size in G + desflurane groups was significantly larger than that in desflurane group. Conclusion Preconditioning with desflurane, sevoflurane and isoflurane reduce myocardial infarct size in rabbits to some extent. The protective effects may be partly medialed via activation of KATP channel.

Atherosclerosis is an inflammatory disease. However, its etiology has not been yet fully elucidated. Endothelial dysfunction is currently considered to be one of the most important steps in the initiation of atherosclerosis. In addition, vascular smooth muscle cells, which are the main cellular component of de novo and in-stent restenosis lesions, play an important role in the development of atherosclerosis. Promoting the regeneration of endothelial cells and inhibiting the proliferation of smooth muscle cells are pivotal for the prevention and treatment of vascular injury. Recently, some studies have demonstrated that mesenchymal stem cells can home to the site of injury and differentiate into endothelial cells to repair damaged blood vessels. On the contrary, other researches have revealed that mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into vascular smooth muscle cells that are involved in the development of restenosis. Here, we review the fundamental researches of mesenchymal stem cell therapy for atherosclerosis and address the perspectives of mesenchymal stem cells in atherosclerosis treatment.

Objective To investigate the cause,type,clinical manifestation,diagnosis and treatment of bile duct injury(BDI)during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods Data of 26 cases suffering from biliary injury during LC from 1997 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.Results Among 26 cases with BDI,5 cases suffered from type Ⅰ BDI,13 cases from typeⅡ,2 cases from typeⅢ,and 6 cases from type Ⅳ.Injuries were diagnosed as BDI intraoperatively in 3 cases,23 BDI cases were diagnosed postoperatively,including 13 cases diagnosed one week after LC,8 cases 20-60 days after LC,2 cases 2 years after LC.Twenty-four cases underwent interventional therapy,with 5 cases cured,19 cases were tideovered to operative treatment after cholangitis and jaundice were under control.Among all BDJ cases,20 cases underwent resection of impaired dile duct and hepatico-jejunostomy. Conclusion BDI is a serious complication of LC,temporary stent graft or bile dranage will help to put jaundice and cholangitis under control so as to buy a time for final definite surgical procedures.

Objective To evaluate the long-term efficacy of modified loop choledochojejunostomy (MLC). Methods The clinical data of 259 patients who had underwent choledochojejunostomy in First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University from January 2000 to December 2006 were retrospectively analyzed. Of all the patients, 130 underwent MLC (MLC group) and 129 underwent Roux-en-Y choledochojejunostemy (RYC, RYC group). The changes in incidence of cholangitis and liver function between the 2 groups were compared. All the data were analyzed by t test, chi-square test or Fisher exact probability. Results The levels of alaninetransa-minase and alkaline phosphomonoesterase were (63±42) U/L and (147±147) U/L in MLC group, and (84±52)U/L and (256±201)U/L in RYC group, with statistical difference between the 2 groups (t=1.634, 1.655, P>0.05). The level of gamma-glutamyl transferase in MLC group was (116±91)U/L, which was signifieandy lower than (169±96)U/L in RYC group (t=2.461, P<0.05). Three patients (2.3%) in MLC group and 9 (7.0%) in RYC group suffered from acute cholangitis after operation, with no statistical difference in the incidence between the 2 groups (P>0.05). Of the 12 patients with acute cholangids, 1 in MLC group and 7 in RYC group were hospitalized, with statistical difference between the 2 groups (P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence of acute cholangitis in patients who underwent MLC is comparable to that of RYC. However, the procedure of MLC is simpler than RYC, and patients have milder symptom and lesser frequency of reflux cholangitis onset after MLC.

Objective To evaluate the MRI findings and clinical features of methotrexate-induced acute encephalopathy in children.Methods The clinical data and brain MRI obtained in 13 children with methotrexate-induced acute encephalopathy were retrospectively reviewed.The MRI features were analyzed , including information on the location , the signal intensity and follow-up MRI study was performed.Results Of the 13 patients , 2 patients suffered from seizure.Five patients had dysphasia , of which 4 patients had evidence of hemiparesis , 1 patient had right facial palsy.Five patients had unilateral weakness.And left hemiparesis was observed in 1 patient.DWI revealed well demarcated asymmetrical hyperintensity lesions within the centrum semiovale and/or periventricular white matter in 10 patients, corresponding to areas of hypointensity on ADC maps.One case showed hyperintensity areas in the bilateral supratentorial cortex and subcortical white matter on T 2-weighted images with subtle high-intensity on DWI.In all 10 cases there were resolution of the diffusion abnormality , 8 cases displayed residual FLAIR signal abnormalities involving areas of previously seen diffusion restriction , 5 cases showed decreased range of the lesion , 1 case was progressive, and 2 cases were stable.One case with hyperintensity areas in the supratentorial cortex and subcortical white matter showed small residual hyperintensity on T 2-weighted images and resolution of the diffusion abnormality.Conclusions MTX-induced acute encephalopathy often manifests as stoke-like symptoms.DWI is the imaging modality of choice for the detection of acute MTX neurotoxicity , and asymmetrical restricted diffusion in the deep white matter is the characteristic sign.Cytotoxic edema induced by MTX is transient and reversible .

Objective To investigate the influence of bloody cervical cell samples on human papillomavirus(HPV) genotyping detection using flowcytometry fluorescence hybridization kit.Methods According to the concentration of hemoglobin(Hb),cervical cell samples were divided into five groups,including group A with Hb of 0 g/L(10 cases),group B with 0 g/L100 g/L.In each group,50% samples were with initial positive results of HPV genotyping detection.Every sample was detected using sample volume of 50,100,200,500 and 1 000 μL different volumes for testing and analysis results.Results For all samples with initial negative results,five samples with initial positive results in group A and five samples with initial positive results,the detected results of different sample volume were without differences.In the 10 samples,with initial positive results of group C,D and E,there were four,four and nine samples respectively,were with false negative detected results of different sample volumes.Conclusion Bloody cervical cell samples could cause false negative results of HPV genotyping detection using flowcytometry fluorescence hybridization kit.It might be necessary to set optimal sample volume according to the concentration of Hb for ensuring the accuracy of genotyping detection.
