1.Mechanisms of COX-2 inhibitors combinated with cisplatin for lung cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2015;(3):200-202
Selective COX-2 inhibitors can promote the apoptosis of tumor cells and block the growth of new blood vessels through the inhibition of ring oxidase,vascular endothelial growth factor,microvessel and so on. Research shows that COX-2 is overexpressed in vascular and endothelial cells of lung cancer,select COX-2 inhibitors to adjuvant chemotherapy,not only can directly inhibit the tumor proliferation,but also can reduce the adverse reaction of chemotherapy drugs,and enhance the curative effect. To investigate the effects of selec-tive COX-2 inhibitors and cisplatin in lung cancer angiogenesis and its mechanism,will be a hope for the clini-cal treatment of tumor.

Chinese Journal of Minimally Invasive Surgery 2005;0(07):-
Objective To investigate the clinical value of vaginal myomectomy. Methods From March 2005 to May 2008,78 women with abnormal uterine bleeding were diagnosed with submucous myoma by hysteroscopy combined with ultrasonography. All the myomas were located in the lower uterine segment,and the diameter of the tumor ranged from 30 mm to 63 mm. The patients were divided into two groups to underwent vaginal myomectomy (vaginal group,36 cases) or abdominal electrotomy (open group,42 cases). The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,postoperative hospital stay and recovery of the two groups were compared. Results The vaginal operation was accomplished in all of the 36 cases. Compared with the open group,the vaginal group had significantly shorter operation time [(64.7?10.4) min vs (71.1?11.3) min,t=-2.599,P=0.011],less intraoperative blood loss [(200.0?38.4) ml vs (253.6?47.6) ml,t=-5.412,P=0.000],quicker recovery of bowel movement [(18.5?4.3) h vs (30.9?4.7) h,t=-12.078,P=0.000],and shorter postoperative hospital stay [(4.9?1.2) d vs (7.0?1.3) d,t=-7.368,P=0.000]. Follow-up was available in all of the 78 cases for 3 to 40 months (mean,28 months),during which no relapse occurred,and no statistical differences in pregnancy rate between the two groups was revealed [2.8% (1/36) vs 4.8% (2/42),?2=0.000,P=1.000]. The operation satisfaction rates in both of the two groups were up to 100%. Conclusions Vaginal myomectomy has advantages in less hemorrhage,fast recovery,short postoperative hospital stay,and low complication rate. For the tumors located in the lower uterine segment or those larger than 30 mm in diameter,vaginal myomectomy is an alternative to hysteroscopic electrotomy.

Objective:To investigate the retinal toxicity of chitosan and gentamicin- chitosan gel. Methods:Sixteen albino New Zealand rabbits (weighted 1. 5-2.5 kg) were used in this study. The rabbits were divided into 4 groups randomly;each group was injected with 0.1 ml PBS, gentamicin 2 mg/ml,3% Chitosan gel, and gentamicin-chitosan gel (2 mg/ml) respectively. ①Ophtahlmoscopic examinations were done. Retina was observed prior to injection , and on 1st, 3 rd, 7 th, 14 th d and 28 th d after injection with direct ophthalmolscope observations. ②Electroretinographs (ERGs) were recorded prior to injection, and then on 3 rd,7 th,14 th d and 28 th d after injection were carried out. ③Light microscope and transmission electronicmicroscope examinations were performed four weeks after the injection. All eyes were enucleated, the retina examples were observed under light microscope and transmission electronic microscope. Results:Intravitreous injection with 3% chitosan was free of retina toxicity. The retina toxicity effects of gentamicin 200 ?g could be found with transmission electron microscope, but gentamicin-chitosan gel with the same dosage could decrease the damage. Conclusion:The result shows that chitosan can be used in the intravitreous injection.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different rates of remifentanil infusion on cardiovascular response to tracheal intubation in older patients. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients aged 65-75 yrs weighing 50-80 kg scheduled for elective abdominal operation were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 10 each) according to the remifentanil infusion rate: group A 0.05 ?g?kg-1?min-1; group B 0.1 ?g?kg-1?min-1 and group C 0.15 ?g ?kg-1?min-1. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 0.1 g and atropine 0.5 mg. Radial artery and subclavian vein were cannulated for BP and CVP monitoring and blood sampling. ECG, BP, HR and SpO2 were monitored during anesthesia. After 10 min stabilization induction of anesthesia was commenced with remifentanil infusion for 10 min. Midazolam 0.1 mg?kg-1 was then given Ⅳ. Succinylcholine 1.5 mg?kg-1 was given to facilitate intubation after the patients lost consciousness. BP and HR were recorded immediately before induction of anesthesia (T0, baseline), immediately after intubation (T1 ) and at 2, 5 and 10 min after intubation (T2 ,T3 ,T4 ) . Cardiovascular intubation response was defined as increase in SP or HR by 15% of the baseline value within 2 min after intubation. Blood samples were taken at T0-4 for determination of plasma concentration of norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) by HPLC. Side effects such as chest wall rigidity and hypotension were also recorded. Results The cardiovascular intubation response rate was significantly higher in group A (80%) than in group B (10% ) and C (10% ) . The incidence of side effects was significantly higher in group C (70% ) than in group B (20%) and A. Plasma NE and E concentrations were significantly increased after intubation in group A (at T2-4) and B (at T2,3) as compared with baseline values at T0; while in group C only plasma NE concentration was significantly increased at T2 and T3 and there was no significant change in plasma E concentration after intubation. The plasma NE and E concentrations were significantly higher in group A (T2-4) and B (T2,3) than in group C. Conclusion The appropriate infusion rate of remifentanil for tracheal intubation is 0.10 ?g?kg-1 ?min-1 in older patients.
