Objective To observe the influencing factors of polysomnography (PSG) monitoring and to evaluate the efficacy of preventive measures.Methods We selected 205 patients with sleep apnea syndrome (SAS) who accepted PSG from May 2011 to April 2012 in our hospital as the intervention group.They were administered preventive measures,including psychological counseling,intensive grease dispelling of patient skin,arrangement of sensor and electrode.One hundred and fifty-two SAS patients who were administered PSG from May 2010 to April 2011 were selected as the control group.The monitoring successful rates between groups were compared and influencing factors were investigated.Results The monitoring successful rates of control group and the intervention group were 92.1％ and 97.1％ respectively; there was a statistically significant difference between the successful rates of the two groups (x2 =4.499,P ＜ 0.05).The main causes for unsuccessful monitoring were difficulty falling asleep,electrode distortion and high impedance of electrode.Conclusion PSG monitoring has a complex operating procedure and is time-consuming and effective preventive measures can improve the successful rate of PSG.

Objective To study the protein expressions of Fas-associated death domain protein (FADD) and caspase-8 in rats with intracerebral hemorrhage ,and the effects of erythropoietin tp reveal the mechanism of neu-m-protection by EPO. Methods 126 male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups: Sham-operated group, intracerebral hemorrhage group, and EPO group. Each group was divided into seven subgroups according to the differ-ent time points (3,6,12,24,48,72 h and 7 d). The model of intracerebral hemorrage was established in rats by in-tracerebral injection of autogenous blood. The protein expressions of FADD and caspas-8 in rats tissue around the hemorrhagic and the normal brain tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results The protein expressions of FADD and caspase-8 were increased [(4.66±0.46 ) and ( 15.89±1.81)] at 3 h after intracerebral hemorrhage, and peaked at 48 h [ (35.88±4.24 ) and (45.04±3.99)], the expressions of FADD and caspas-8 in the region around hematoma in EPO group significantly decreased compared with model group[ (3.92±0.64) and (28.24±1.90), (13.32±2.01 ) and (35.08±2.82)] at 3 h and 48 h. Conclusion The protein expressions of FADD and easpase-8 are markedly increased after intracerebral hemorrhage. EPO can protect the neurons by signifi-cantly reducing the expressions of FADD and caspase-8.

Objective To observe the effects of total flavone from litchi chinensis sonn (TFL) on the liver function in-cluding p16 protein, pro collagen type 3 (PC3) and pro collagen typeⅠ(PCⅠ) in model rats with liver fibrosis induced by bile duct ligation. Methods Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation (SO) group, bile duct liga-tion (BDL) group, TFL group and silibinin (SIL) group. Rats were gavaged with saline (5 mL·kg-1·d-1) in SO and BDL group, rats were gavaged with TFL (200 mL·kg-1·d-1) in TFL group and rats were gavaged with SIL (5 mL·kg-1·d-1) in SIL group for four weeks. The serum levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin direct (BILD) and bilirubin total (BILT) were detected in four groups. The liver tissues were stained by HE and Masson methods. The ex-pression levels of p16, PC3 and PCⅠin liver tissues were determined by Western blot assay. Results The serum levels of ALT (44.6 IU/L±8.0 IU/L), AST (103.8 IU/L±18.1 IU/L), BILD (0.76 μmol/L±0.28μmol/L) and BILT (1.48μmol/L±0.35μmol/L) were lower in SO group. There was a higher level of ALT in BDL group (147.4 IU/L±86.3 IU/L) than that of TFL group (92.9 IU/L±47.3 IU/L). The serum level of ALT was higher in AST group (362.7 IU/L±106.6 IU/L) than that of TFL group (290.1 IU/L ± 171.7 IU/L) and SIL group (250.2 IU/L ± 54.9 IU/L). The serum level of BILD was lower in BDL group (99.71μmol/L±40.87μmol/L) than that of SIL group (137.01μmol/L±38.86μmol/L). The serum levels of BILD and BILT were significantly lower in TFL group (81.48μmol/L±47.50μmol/L, 106.64μmol/L±61.04μmol/L) than those of SIL group (P<0.05). There were small amount of new bile duct and no obvious cells degeneration, small amount of infiltration of in-flammatory cells and collagen deposition in TFL group. The liver fibrosis improved significantly in TFL group than that of BDL group. There were more new bile duct in hepatic portal area in SIL group than those of TFL group. The expression levels of p16, PC3 and PCⅠwere significantly higher in BDL group than those of TFL group. The expression level of PC3 was significantly lower in BDL group than that of SIL group. The expression level of PCⅠwas significantly higher in BDL group than that of SIL group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the expression level of p16 between BDL group and SIL group. The expression levels of PC16 and PC3 were significantly lower in TFL group than those of SIL group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the ex-pression level of PCⅠbetween TFL group and SIL group. Conclusion TFL can improve the liver function in model rats with choles-tatic liver fibrosis and reduce liver fibrosis, which may be related with inhibitory effects on the expressions of p 16, PC3 and PCⅠ.

Objective:To analyze the efficacy of laparoscopic radical surgery, compared to open surgery, for incidental gallbladder cancer following cholecystectomy.Methods:Clinical data of 106 patients with incidental gallbladder cancer treated at the Second Affiliated Hospital Zhejiang University School of Medicine from April 2010 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed, including 66 males and 40 females, aged (64.7±7.9) years old. According to surgical approach, patients were divided into the laparoscopic group ( n=45) and open group ( n=61). Perioperative data, including intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, and postoperative complications, were compared between the groups. Follow-ups were conducted via outpatient visits or telephone reviews. Survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method, and the survival rates were compared using the log-rank test. Results:All 45 patients in the laparoscopic group successfully underwent the surgery without conversion to open surgery. Compared to the open group, the laparoscopic group had a reduced intraoperative blood loss [(100±25) ml vs. (200±46) ml] and a shortened postoperative hospital stay [3(2, 5) d vs. 5(4, 7) d] (both P<0.05). The postoperative complication rates were 6.7% (3/45) in the laparoscopic group and 13.1% (8/61) in the open group ( χ2=4.16, P=0.041). The cumulative survival rate after radical surgery for incidental gallbladder cancer was better in the laparoscopic group ( χ2=4.58, P=0.032). Conclusion:Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic radical surgery for incidental gallbladder cancer showed benefits in intraoperative blood loss, postoperative hospital stay, complication rates, and cumulative survival.
