Objective To investigate influence of different usage of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage on hemodynamics and postoperative throat pain of laryngeal mask anesthesia patients.Methods Sixty patients in flexible ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy with laryngeal mask anesthesia were randomly divided into three groups according to different usage of dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage (n =20).Group A was coated laryngeal mask with paraffin oil.Group B was coated laryngeal mask with dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage.Group C was coated laryngeal mask with dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage and dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage gargle.The indwelling time of laryngeal mask, postoperative recovery time of spontaneous breathing, time of hearing the call to open eyes, and the time of pulling out the laryngeal mask were recorded.Heart rate (HR), mean blood pressure (MBP) index at T1 (pre-anesthesia induction), T2 (1 min before pulling out the laryngeal mask), T3 (pulling out the laryngeal mask), T4 (5 min after removing the laryngeal mask), and T5 (10 min after removing the laryngeal mask) were recorded.The complications of throat after removing laryngeal mask were observed.The pain degree of sore-throat at the time of 30 minutes after removing the laryngeal mask was observed.The adverse reactions of the usage of dyclonine hydrochloride were observed in three groups.Results There were no statistically significant differences in indwelling time of laryngeal mask, postoperative recovery time of spontaneous breathing, time of hearing the call to open eyes, and the time of pulling out the laryngeal mask among three groups (P ＞ 0.05).There were no statistically significant differences in HR, MBP at T1 , and T5 (P ＞ 0.05).HR and MBP were higher in group A than in groups B and C at T2 ～ T4, and HR and MBP were higher in group B than in group C at T2 ～ T4, with statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of sore throat and swallowing discomfort were significantly lower in groups B and C than in group A (P ＜ 0.05).The incidences of sore throat and swallowing discomfort were significantly lower in group C than in group B (P ＜0.05).No statistically significant difference were found in incidence of hoarseness among three groups (P＞ 0.05).The pain degree of sore-throat in group C were significantly lower than in group B, and the pain degree of sore-throat in groups B and C was significantly lower than in group A (P ＜ 0.05).There were no allergic reactions and local anesthetic poisoning for three groups.Conclusions Dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage can reduce hemodynamic fluctuations during recovery period, and prevent or relieve effectively the patient's throat pain after laryngeal mask anesthesia.At the same time, dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage can improve the patient's postoperative physical comfort without adverse reactions, especially coated laryngeal mask with dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage and dyclonine hydrochloride mucilage gargle.

Objective To examine the effect of berberine on tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)-induced VEGF expression and the possible mechanism.Methods There were two sessions in this study.In the first session,HepG2 cells were treated with 10 ng/mL TNF-αfor 0,12,24 and 48 h,respectively.In the second session,HepG2 cells were pre-incubated with 0,10,25 and 50μmol/L berberine for 24 h,respectively,and then treated with 10 ng/mL TNF-αfor 24 h.The effect of berberine on the prolif-eration of HepG2 cells was assayed by MTT.The level of VEGF mRNA was detected by real-time PCR,and the expression lev-els of VEGF,IκBαand NF-κB p65 proteins by Western blot.The activity of NF-κB was measured by ELISA.Results Berberine could dose-dependently inhibit the growth of HepG2 cells.TNF-αcould increase the mRNA and protein expression levels of VEGF in HepG2 cells in a time-dependent manner.Berberine could significantly dose-dependently down-regulate the TNF-α-in-duced VEGF expression at mRNA and protein levels.TNF-αsignificantly decreased the expression of IκBαand increased the ex-pression of NF-κB p65 and the activity of NF-κB in a time-dependent manner,which could be dose-dependently abrogated by pretreatment with berberine.Conclusion Berberine inhibits TNF-α-induced VEGF expression via NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and safety of endoscopic thyroidectomy via anterior chest and breast for the treatment of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma ( PTC ).Methods Endoscopic thyroidectomy was performed in 85 PTC patients between March 2006 and March 2010. Diagnosis was based on intraoprative frozen section. There were 83 females and 2 males, age averaged at 36. 3 years. Sixty three of 85 cases were diagnosed preoperatively as thyroid carcinoma and US revealed ipsilateral cervical lymph node enlargement suspective of metastasis in 12 cases. Endoscopic thyroidectomy plus selective neck dissection was performed. Results This procedure was carried out successfully in 84patients. There were 51 cases of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas(<1. 0 cm) , 28 cases between 1. 0 cm and<2. 0 cm, and 5 cases with the diameter between 2. 0 cm and 3. 0 cm. Total thyroidectomy, ispilateral lebectomy and ispilateral lebectomy plus contralateral subtotal lobetomy were performed in 4, 6, 74 cases,respectively. Central compartment dissection was performed in all of the 84 cases and ipsilateral neck dissection was also performed in 12 cases that were suspected metastatic lateral neck lymph nodes. The mean operative time was (113. 3 ±46. 5) minutes. No significant blood loss occurred. The mean number of lymph nodes yield in the central compartment and lateral compartment were 6. 5 (range 2 to 14) and 19. 2 (range 9 to 26 ), respectively. Forty-four cases ( 44/84, 52. 4% ) had metastatic lymph nodes in central compartment, while 11 cases (11/12,91.1% ) in lateral compartment. Six patients (6/84,7.14%) had transient vocal cord palsy and recovered after 1-2 months. Postoperative transient hypocalcaemia occurred in 4 cases (4. 8% ) , and there were no other major complications. The average postoperative hospital stay was 3. 7 days (range 3 to 6). No evidence of residual or recurrent disease was found at follow-up. The cosmetic results of this procedure were excellent. Conclusions The anterior chest and breast approach of endoscopic thyroidectomy is feasible and safe and cosmetic worthwhile for selected cases of PTC.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the experiences of applying three-dimensional (3D) technique in scarless endoscopic thyroidectomy (SET) via anterior chest approach.

METHODSMedical records of patients who undenvent SET using 3D technique from December 2013 to May 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. A total of 32 patients who had a preoperative ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration cytology diagnosis of unilateral papillary thyroid carcinoma and underwent lobectomy associated with central lymph node dissection were included in this study. All patients were female with a mean age of (37 ± 10) years at diagnosis. In addition, 45 female patients who underwent traditional endoscopic thyroidectomy at the same period were randomly selected as control.

RESULTSAll surgical procedures were successfully finished. The mean surgical time in 3D group was (91. 7 ± 11. 4) minutes, and mean hospitalization time was (3. 2 ± 0. 5) days. Contemporary hoarseness was observed in one patient, and no bleeding, infection, hypocalcemia and other postsurgical complications were observed. Compared to the traditional endoscopic surgery group, 3 D group had significantly shorter surgical time of lobectomy ((23. 2 ± 5. 1) minutes vs. (28. 0 ± 5. 0) minutes, t = 4. 156, P = 0. 000). Negative results were seen in the time taking of creating surgical space ((14. 6 ± 3. 3) minutes vs. (15. 6 ± 2. 5) minutes), central lymph node dissection ((25. 1 ± 5. 4) minutes vs. (24. 4 ± 6. 3) minutes) and total surgical time ((91.7 ± 11. 4) minutes vs. (96. 1 ± 13. 0) minutes).

CONCLUSIONApplication of 3D technique in endoscopic surgery can offer 3D vision of the surgical field, thus significantly shorten lobectomy time and more easily to achieve fine dissection and functional protection of recurrent laryngeal nerves, parathyroids and other vital anatomic structures.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of recombinant tissue type plasminogen activa-tor (rt-PA)for the treatment of the patients with wake-up ischemic stroke (WUS)under the guidance of multimode CT. Methods Eighteen patients with WUS (a thrombolytic group)suitable for intravenous thrombolysis after multimode CT imaging screen at the Department of Neurology,Shiyan Hospital of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine,Hubei Province from October 2012 to October 2014 were enrolled retrospectively. Twenty patients with WUS (a control group)who underwent multimode CT imaging screen were suitable for intravenous thrombolysis,but because of exceeding time window or rejecting thrombolysis and other reasons without having intravenous thrombolysis from February 2012 to February 2014 were enrolled retrospectively. The control group was treated with conventional therapy and the thrombolytic group was treated with rt-PA (0. 9 mg/kg)intravenous thrombolytic therapy. The indicators including fibrinogen (Fib),coagulation function (prothrombin time [PT ]),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT ), platelet (PLT ),high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP ),National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS )scores,and activities of daily living scores (Barthel index)at before treatment and 24 h,7 and 14 days after treatment were observed respectively. The adverse events and complications were documented and compared with the control group. Results There were no significant differences in Fib,PT,APTT, PLT,hs-CRP,NIHSS score and Barthel index before treatment between the thrombolytic group and the con-trol group (all P>0. 05);at day 7 and 14 after treatment in the thrombolytic group,compared with before treatment,Fib (14 d after treatment),PLT,and hs-CRP were decreased,PT and APTT were prolonged,the NIHSS scores were decreased,and Barthel indexes were increased. There were significant differences (all P<0. 05). At day 14 after treatment,there were significant differences in Fib,PT,APTT,hs-CRP,NIHSS scores,and Barthel indexes (Fib:3. 25 ± 0. 38 g/L vs. 3. 55 ± 0. 28 g/L;PT:15. 7 ± 3. 2 s vs. 12. 9 ± 2. 5 s;APTT:42. 7 ± 3. 5 s vs. 38. 7 ± 2. 6 s;PLT:[189 ± 26]× 109/L vs. [201 ± 23]× 109/L;hs-CRP:5. 7 ± 0. 6 mg/L vs. 11. 3 ± 2. 2 mg/L;NIHSS scores:5. 6 ± 2. 4 vs. 9. 2 ± 4. 5;and Barthel indexes:68 ± 15 vs. 47 ± 5)between the two groups (all P <0. 05). Except 1 patient occurred symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage after thrombolysis,no other serious complications were observed in the thrombolytic group. One patient in the control group had stress gastric ulcer and bleeding,no symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage occurred. Conclusion Multimode CT guidance can be used as a reliable imaging evidence for patients with WUS expanding intravenous thrombolytic time window. Under the multimode CT guidance, using rt-PA for intravenous thrombolytic therapy has a certain efficacy.
