Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2008;28(11):969-971
Objective To compare the neurotoxic effects of intratheeal ropivacaine and bupivacaine on the spinal cord in rats.Methods Female SD rats weighing 240-330 g were used in this study.Catheters(PE 10 tubing)were inserted through an incision in the cisternal membrane and advanced caudad until the tip of the catheter reached the lumbar spinal level according to the technique described by Yaksh and Rudy.Fifty-four successfully catheterized rats were randomly assigned tO one of 3 groups(n=18 each):group Ⅰ received normal saline 30μlIT(NS);groupⅡ received 2%bupivacaine 20μl IT(BU)and group Ⅲ 2.7%ropivacaine 20μl IT (RO).Degree of motor block was assessed and scored(0=no block,2=inability to flex the hind limb)before (T1,baseline)and at 10,20,30,60 and 120 min(T2-6)after IT injection.On the 4th day after IT injection specimens were obtained from lumbar spinal cord for microscopic examination.Results The motor block score was significantly higher in group BU and RO than in group NS(P<0.05),and the tissue damage was severe in group BU and RO.The motor block scores were significantly higher at T2 than at T3-6 in beth group BU and RO(P<0.05).There Was no significant difference in motor block score at T2 between groups BU and RO but the motor block scores were significantly lower at T3-5 in group RO than in group BU(P<0.05).The tissue damage was Severer in group RO than in group BU(P<0.05).Conclusion Intrathecal 2.7% ropivacaine is more toxic to the spinal cord than intrathecal 2%bupivacaine in rats.

Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology 2001;9(2):414-142
Objective:To study the the mental health and relevant factors of patients with hepatitis B. Methods: 58 cases of patients with hepatitis B were assessed with the Social Support Scale, Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90), Trait Coping Questionnaire and compared with healthy person. Results: All patients had obvious psychosomatic symptoms. The mental health level was negatively correlated with postive coping style and social support. Conclusion: Several psychosocial factors played an important role in the onset and trealment of Hepatitis B disease.

An analysis of the present development of general practitioners in China,probed into the bottlenecks found.The paper proposed to set forth from the training,use and incentives of GPs to promote the systematic design of China's GP system.These measures center on the regulation of GPs development,while building a multi-channel and multi-level GP development system.Other recommendations include raising the professional standing and attractiveness of GPs as a discipline,and enhancing GPs capacity building to promote general practitioners development.

Objective To investigate the expression, relationship, significance of cyclooxygenase_2 (COX-2) and malonic dialdehyde (MDA) after cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury and provide basis of treatment. Methods The focal cerebral ischemic-reperfusion model was established with thread embolish of middle cerebral artery. Western blotting, barhituric acid method and neurological evaluation were used to examine the expression of COX-2, MDA in cortex and the changes of neurological function;TTC staining was used to observe the changes of cerebral infarction volume. Results COX-2 prorein expression was correclated well with the MDA(r=0.910,P<0.01). The content of COX-2 and MDA was very low in sham operation group, they were increased significantly at I2h/R6h model group, with the increase of reperfusion time,they remarkably reached its peak at I2h/R24h,they were slightly lower at I2h/R48h, but still maintained at a high level;Compared with model group, in tetramethylpyrazine(TMP) treatment group, the content of MDA and cerebral infarction volume were markedly decreased(P<0.01). Conclusion The expression of COX-2 and MDA increases in cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury.It indicates they may play an important role in the mechanisms of cerebral ischemic-reperfusion injury;TMP has neuroprotective effect.

Objective To construct directional expressing cDNA library from normal testes in Chinese males for further studying the structure and functions of spermatogenesis related genes. Methods mRNA of normal testes from a Chinese male was isolated and the cDNA synthesized by reverse transcription.After being digested by SalI and NotI ,dscDNA was subcloned into expressing plasmid pSPORT1 directionally.Finally,the directional expressing cDNA library from normal testes in Chinese males was constructed. Results The transformation rate of the library was 7?10 5.Ten clones were chosen and analysed. Digested by SalI and NotI ,the fragments of 0.5~2.0 kb were obtained with cDNA inserted. Conclusions The present study indicates that the directional expressing cDNA library from normal testes in Chinese males is qualified to screen genes and is considered to be helpful for studying the structure and functions of spermatogenesis related genes.

[Objective] To investigate the effects of Qianggu capsule plus alendronate on postmenopausal osteoporosis.[Methods]By random number generating method,120 patients were randomly divided into a treatment group with Qianggu capsule plus alendronate,control group A only with Qianggu capsule,and control group B only with alendronate.The pain of the patient before treatment,3 m and 6 m after treatment was assessed.At the same time,the bone mineral density (BMD) before and 6 months after treatment was recorded.[Results] There was significant difference before and after 3 m in the score of pain in three groups,but the difference in treatment group was higher than other two control groups.After 6 m,all the scores of pain in 3 groups had changed significantly compared to the ones before treatment,but the scores of pain in treatment group were lower than 2 control groups.The BMD of both vertebral and ward in treatment group after 6 months treatment was higher than before.[Conclusions]Qianggu capsule plus alendronate has definite therapeutic effects on postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Schistosomiasis hematobia is one major human schistosomiasis. The disease is endemic in Africa and Mediterra-nean region,and is the main cause of urogenital diseases. Although only Schistosoma japonicum is spreading across the Main-land China,now more schistosomiasis hematobia cases are reported among aid projects and migrant workers to Africa,with the economy development and the increasing degree of foreign exchanges. Meanwhile,the relevant clinical data of schistosomiasis hematobia are rare in China. This article reviews the clinical manifestations and progress in diagnosis and treatment of the dis-ease.

Objective To clarify protective effect of the application of Ginkgo-damole in elderly patients with hypertension in total hip arthroplasty.Methods From January 2012 to December 2013,67 elderly patients with hypertension which should take total hip arthroplasty were divided into observation group and control group.Ginkgo-damole were only used in observation group during the operation.The anesthetic effect and the change of systolic blood pressure(SBP)diastolic blood pressure(DBP),heart rate(HR)and mean arterial pressure(MAP)were observed,postoperative recovery time of consciousness were recorded. Results The level of SBP,DBP,MAP and HR in both group were significantly difference when compared with before anesthesia(P<0.05 ).At the T2-4 time point,the level of SBP,DBP,MAP in observation group were significantly higher than that of control group,the level of HR was significantly lower than the control group,there had significant difference(P<0.05).At the T5 time point,the level of SBP, DBP,MAP and HR in observation group were significantly lower than of control group,there had significant difference between two groups(P<0.05 ).The postoperative recovery time in observation group was(10.41 ±2.35)min,which was lower than that in control group(15.63 ±2.42)min,there had significant difference between two groups(P<0.05 ).Conclusion Ginkgo-damole can effectively relieve the stress reactions caused by anesthesia and total hip arthroplasty,it has good protective effect on elderly patients with hypertension.

The application of molecular biological technique provides opportunity to pancreatic cancer patients since the cancer is resistant to routine treatment. Clarifying the molecular mechanism in the genesis and development of pancreatic cancer is the first thing to do. Recent researches found that there were different signaling pathways activated in different stages of pancreatic cancer. The important signal pathways included mitosis pathways, growth factor pathways, developing pathways and mucin pathways. This article will review the relationship between molecular pathways and pancreatic cancer.
