To study the dynamic process of myocardial uptake of thiopentai in the isolated rabbit hearts. Method: Thiopental at doses of 500?mol, 1500?mol and 500?mol was given sequentially to the perfused rabbit heart in a total time of 15 min. The outflow concentration of thiopental was measured with high performance liquid chromatography and the left ventricular +dp/dtmax served as a effective parameter. Resuh: The disposition and elimination of thiopental can be best described hy a two-compartment open model. It can disposed into myocardium rapidly (T_(1/2)?=0.5?0.1 min), but elimination was relatively slow (T_(1/2)?=25.3?10.1 min). The transfer rate was slower from peripheral to central compartment than from central to peripheral compartment. The tbeoritical maximum depressant effect of thiopental on + dp/dt (Emax) was 19.0 4-11.2 kPa.s~(-1) corresponding to 1/10 E_0. Conclusion: The myocardial uptake of thiopental can be fitted to a two-compartment open model with rapid disposition and relative slow elimination process.

Objective To analyze the surgical and pathologic features of isolated ascending aortitis without evidence of rheumatologic or autoimmune diseases by comparing that of Takayasu's arteritis.Methods Consecutive 965 excised ascending aortas were reviewed and 40 cases with aortitis were selected from the pathological archives of past 20 years in Fuwai Hospital.The clinical history,laboratory and angiographic data,surgical findings,steroid therapy and followup results of these 40 cases were reviewed.Pathological parameters included the thickness of aortic wall and its various layers,inflammation activity,multinuclear giant cells,inflammatory necrosis,laminar necrosis and atheroselerosis.The t test and Chi square analysis were used to compare the means and the rates between the two groups.Results Twenty-five of 40 cases were diagnosed with isolated aortitis and its prevalencei was 2.6%(25/965),while 8 cases with Takayasu's arteritis and 7 cases with other vasculitis were confirmed.The age of isolated ascending aortitis was older than that of Takayasu's arteritis[(46±12)y vs(34±14)y,t=2.30,P>0.05] while the male/female ratio was similar in both groups(1.1 vs 1.0,t=0.01,P>0.05).Their main clinical manifestation was aortic aneurysm with a bigger aortic diameter in isolated aortitis than that in Takayasu's arteritis [(59±18)vs(46±12)mm,P>0.05].The asymptomatic cages mostly were found in isolated ascending aortitis (28%vs 0,x2=2.98,P>0.05).The erythrocyte sedimentary rate was normal in isolated aortitis but increased in Takayasu's arteritis[(15±17)mm/1 hvs[27±25)mm/1 h,U=48.50,P<0.05 ].Inflammatory edema,thickening and calcification were noted in more than half cases of both groups.but slighter thickening of aortic wall was foand in isolated ascending aortitis in contrast to the remarkable thickening in Takayasu artefifis[(2506±493)vs (3300±430)μm,t=-3.00,P<0.01].Giant cells,inflammatory necrosis,laminar necrosis and accompanied atherosclerosis were more common in isolated ascending aortitis.Aortic regurgitation was common but inflammatory invasion wege found in few aortic valves. Steroid was prescribed in 5 cases with isolated ascending aortitis and none of them was reported with complications while aortic perivalvular leakage occurred in 3 of 20 cases without steroids therapy. In the Takayasu's arteritis cases, new aneurysm of abdominal aorta was found in 1 of 3 cases with steroid therapy. Meanwhile, perivalvular leakage and subclavian artery stenosis occurred in 2 of 5 cases without steroid. Conclusion Isolated aortitis is more common than Takayasu's arteritis in ascending aortic diseases and there is some definite difference in clinical and pathological aspects between these two diseases. Since the effect of steroid therapy is uncertain and in order to avoid overtreatment, we suggest that steroid should not be given to cases with isolated ascending aortitis after surgery and clinical and angiographic follow-up should be emphasized.

Lactate and succinate were produced by Corynebacterium acetoacidophilum from glucose under oxygen deprivation conditions. To construct knockout mutant, lactate dehydrogenase gene (ldh) of C. acetoacidophilum was deleted by double-crossover chromosome replacement with sacB gene. Comparing with the wild strain ATCC13870, ldhA-deficent mutant produced no lactate with glucose consumption rate decreased by 29.3%, while succinate and acetate concentrations were increased by 45.6% and 182%, respectively. Moreover, the NADH/NAD+ rate was less than 1 (about 0.7), and the activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and acetate kinase of the ldhA-deficent mutant were enhanced by 84% and 12 times, respectively. Our studies show that succinicate and acetate production pathways are strengthened by blocking lactate synthesis. It also suggests that improving NADH supply and eliminating acetate generation are alternative strategies to get high succinate-producer.

Objective To explore the effect of Da Vinci robot?assisted laparoscopic radical prostatecto?my on the respiratory function of elderly in Intensive Care Units( ICU) . Methods Thirty?nine elderly patients received Da Vinci robot?assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy ( RARP ) from January 2015 to April 2016 and 25 cases received conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy from January 2014 to December 2014 ad?mitted into ICU were retrospectively analyzed. Their comorbidities,blood loss and transfusion during surgery,ate?rial blood gas(ABG) analysis and respiratory complications after operation,clinical outcomes between the two groups were compared. Results Compared with conventional laparoscopic radical prostatectomy,RARP group spent more time in surgery((4. 23±1. 44) h vs. (3. 25±1. 31) h,t=2. 783,P<0. 05),more patients need venti?lation(11 vs. 1,χ2=4. 378,P<0. 05) . ABG analysis showed respiratory and metabolic acidosis with lower pH (7. 29±0. 09 vs. 7. 35±0. 05,t=3. 886,P<0. 05),HCO3?((20. 05±2. 50) mmol/L vs. (22. 86±2. 53) mmol/L,t=3. 473,P<0. 05),BE(-5. 11±3. 94 vs.-3. 64±1. 17,t=5. 018,P<0. 05) and higher pCO2(46. 15±8. 31 vs. 40. 25±6. 57,t=2. 475,P<0. 05),Lac((3. 54±1. 99) mmol/L vs. (2. 91±1. 39) mmol/L,t=2. 254,P<0. 05) . Conclusion RARP may cause carbon dioxide retention and respiratory complications on elderly pa?tients. It may reduce postoperative respiratory complications by shortening surgery time,lowering pneumoperitone?um pressure,hyperventilation,recruitment maneuvers and chest physical therapy.
