Objective To investigate the effect of doxapram on inhibition of medullary respiratory center excitability by sevoflurane in rats.Methods Neonatal Sprague-Dawley rats of both sexes,aged 1-4 days,were used in this study.Isolated medulla oblongata-spinal cord specimens were made according to the method described by Suzue and perfused with the artificial cerebrospinal fluid saturated with 95％O2-5％CO2.The specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n =9 each):control group (group C),sevoflurane group (group S) and sevoflurane + doxapram group (group S + D).Respiratory rhythmical discharge activity of the hypoglossal nerve rootlets was recorded using suction electrode.After 10 min of equilibration,the specimens were perfused with the artificial cerebrospinal fluid,5％ sevoflurane and the mixture of 5％ sevoflurane and 5 μmol/L doxapram for 10 min in groups C,S,and S + D respectively.The respiratory cycle,inspiratory time and integral amplitude of inspiratory discharge were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the respiratory cycle was significantly prolonged,the inspiratory time was significantly shortened,and the integral amplitude of inspiratory discharge was significantly decreased in group S (P ＜ 0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group S + D (P ＞ 0.05).Compared with group S,the respiratory cycle was significantly shortened,the inspiratory time was significantly prolonged,the integral amplitude of inspiratory discharge was significantly increased in group S + D ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Doxapram antagonizes sevoflurane-induced inhibition of excitability of medullary respiratory center in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of alprostadil on acute lung injury in septic rats. Methods Thirty adult male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table: sham operation group (group S), acute lung injury group ( group ALI) , and alprostadil group ( group Q) . The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 1% pentobarbital sodium 5 ml∕100 g. Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture. In group Q, al?prostadil ( 10 μg∕2 ml) 2 ml∕kg was injected via the tail vein at 30 min before cecal ligation and puncture. The equal volume of normal saline was given in S and ALI groups. At 24 h after operation, blood samples were taken for determination of serum tumor necrosis factor?alpha ( TNF?α) and interleukin?6 ( IL?6) con?centrations by enzyme?linked immunosorbent assay. The animals were then sacrificed. The left lungs were immediately removed for microscopic examination, and the right lungs were immediately removed for deter?mination of wet∕dry lung weight ratio ( W∕D ratio ) , and expression of TNF?α mRNA and high mobility group box?1 ( HMGB1) using real?time reverse transcriptase?polymerase chain reaction. Results Com?pared with group S, the concentrations of serum TNF?α and IL?6 were significantly increased, and the ex?pression of TNF?α mRNA and HMGB1 mRNA was up?regulated, and W∕D ratio was increased in ALI and Q groups ( P<0?05) . Compared with group ALI, the concentrations of serum TNF?αand IL?6 were signifi? cantly decreased, and the expression of TNF?α mRNA and HMGB1 mRNA was down?regulated, and W∕D ratio was decreased in group Q ( P<0?05) . The pathological changes of left lungs were significantly attenua?ted in group Q as compared with group ALI. Conclusion Alprostadil can reduce acute lung injury in septic rats, and the mechanism may be related to down?regulation of HMGB1 expression and inhibition of inflam?matory responses.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of ultrasonic ablation in patients with chronic deep vein thrombosis of lower extremities. Methods Fifty-six patients with chronic deep vein thrombosis resulting in total occlusion of iliac-femoral veins accepted intra-venous ultrasonic ablation. The time for ultrasonic ablation was 12-24 minutes with the mean being 18 minutes. After the procedure, anti-coagulation was performed through the retaining catheters and venous propeller was utilized for promoting blood reflow. Results Ultrasonic ablation easily created a channel within the occlusive iliac-femoral veins and achieved successful recanalization in 49 of 56 patients (87.5%). Five patients (8.9%) were partially re-canalized and 2 (3.6%) had no recanalization. Thirty-eight of the 49 re-canalized patients were followed up, including 22 with no stent placement showed 9 (40.9%) re-occlusion and 16 received stent placement, and 2 had (12.5%) re-occlusion. Conclusions Intravascular ultrasonic ablation is an effective therapeutic modality to recanalize chronic thrombosed occlusion of iliac-femoral veins and can lay down a foundation for further balloon-expansion or stent-placement with long term patency.

Objective: To observe the effect of edaravone combining ulinastatin on brain protection in patients of type A aortic dissection (AAD) after total arch replacement. Methods: A total of 60 AAD patients with total arch replacement in our hospital from 2014-09 to 2016-01 were prospectively studied. Based on peri-operative application of edaravone and ulinastatin, the patients were divided into 2 groups: EU group: 1) the patients received ulinastatin 300000 U/8h and edaravone 0.5mg/Kg/12h from administration to 3 days post-operation, 2) during cardiopulmonary bypass, the patients received ulinastatin 300000 U/2h and edaravone 0.5mg/Kg; Control group, the patients had no such treatment.n=30 in each group. The following items were observed:①operative condition;②blood levels of speciifc brain injury markers as S-100 and neuron speciifc enolase (NSE) at different time points: beginning of surgery (T0), opening aorta clamp (T1), right after cardiopulmonary bypass (T2), entering ICU (T3), 24h post-operation (T4) and 3 days post-operation (T5); ③post-operative condition. Results:①Durations of operation, cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac arrest and bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (BACP), the frequency of BACP and UACP (unilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion), the lowest rectal temperature and blood levels of S-100, NSE at T0 were similar between 2 groups.②Compared with Control group, EU group had decreased S-100 and NSE from T1 to T5,P<0.05.③The in-hospital and ventilation time, frequency of PND and TND, the patients with CSS score≥16 before discharge and the in-hospital death rate were similar between 2 groups,P>0.05. Conclusion: Edaravone combining ulinastatin had brain protective effect in AAD patients after total arch replacement;it may reduce blood speciifc brain injury markers while the clinical signiifcance should be further investigated.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of inhaled corticosteroids for preventing chronic lung disease (CLD) in preterm infants. Methods PubMed, EMBASE, CENTRAL, the ISI Web of Knowledge databases, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang Data were searched for the period up to Oct. 2016. All randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about inhaled corticosteroids for preventing CLD in preterm infants were collected. The RCTs had been screened, data were extracted and assessed. The mata-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software. Result A total of 12 RCTs were included (a total of 2051 preterm neonates). Compared with control group, in 28 day old group, the incidence of CLD was not significantly different between experimental and control groups (RR=0.87, 95%CI:0.74-1.03, P=0.11) and (RR=1.19, 95%CI:0.59-2.43, P=0.63) and no significant difference among subgroups budesonide (α), beclomethasone (β), fluticasone (γ) (RR=0.89, 95%CI:0.69-1.14, P=0.35), (RR=0.86, 95%CI:0.69-1.08, P=0.19) and (RR=0.91, 95%CI:0.60-1.38, P=0.19). In 36 wk postmenstrual age group,the incidence of CLD was decreased in experimental group and in subgroups inhalation (A), Intratracheal administration (B), α, γ (RR=0.70, 95%CI: 0.61-0.80, P<0.00001), (RR=0.74, 95%CI: 0.63-0.87, P=0.0003), (RR=0.57, 95%CI: 0.43-0.76, P=0.0002), (RR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.57-0.78, P<0.00001) and (RR=0.58, 95%CI: 0.36-0.94, P=0.03); but it is not significantly different in subgroup β(RR=0.98, 95%CI: 0.69-1.39, P=0.90); There was no difference in the motality in experimental and subgroups A ,B, α, β , γ (RR=1.07, 95%CI:0.86-1.33, P=0.55), (RR=1.24, 95%CI: 0.97-1.59, P=0.09), (RR=0.67, 95%CI: 0.43-1.03, P=0.07), (RR=1.04, 95%CI: 0.81-1.33, P=0.78), (RR=1.47, 95%CI: 0.79-2.74, P=0.22) and (RR=0.91, 95%CI: 0.47-1.74, P=0.77). No clinically significant adverse effects were observed during the study. Conclusions This updated review indicated that early administration of inhaled steroids to very low birth weight preterm neonates was effective in reducing the incidence of CLD. There was no statistically significant effect of inhaled steroids on motality, and there was no significant correlation between the mode of administration and the type of drug delivery, It is recommended to observe the 36 week gestational age as the outcome index. More and larger randomised placebo-controlled trials including long-term follow up are needed to establish the efficacy and safety of inhalation corticosteroids.

Objective To study on chromosome-and plasmid-mediated fluoroquinolones-resistant in Escherichia coli isolated from fecal samples of chicken,swine and people around the farm.Methods Anti-microbial susceptibility testing was carried out by disk diffusion testing and bmth microdilution testing.gyrA,gyrB,parC,pareE,qnr and aac(6')-I b-cr were examined by PCR,and the products were sequenced.Ex-presion of aac(6')-I b-cr by conjunction was tested too.Results The resistance to antimicmbial agents was much higher in strains isolated from chicken than that from swine and human.Among the E coli strains examined by PCR,most resistant strains carried two mutations in gyrA and/or two mutations in parC.In ad-dition,some resistant strains had mutations in parE with MIC of ciprofloxacin>16μg/ml.No(resistance) mutation was found in gyrB.Seven strains(25.O%)and one strain(11.1%)had aac(6)-I b-cr,variant isolated from chicken and swine,respectively.The strains harboring cr variant enzyme reduced the suscepti-bility to ciprofloxacin and norfloxacin by N-acetylation of the drugs. Conclusion There is a close relation-ship between high level quinolone resistance and the numbers of amino acid exchange in DNA gyrase and to-poisomeraae IV,and aac(6)-I b-cr may play some role for fluoroquinolone resistance.

Objective To explore the effects of chlorhexidine aeetate and trielosan on inhibition of microorganism adhesion on soft denture-lining materials. Methods Silicone rubber soft denture- lining material and resin soft denture-lining material were soaked in 0. 2% chlorhexidine acetate and 0. 1% trielosan for 5 minutes. Then the colony numbers of three different microorganisms (streptococcus mutans, actinomyces viscosus, candida albicans) adhering to soft denture-lining materials were counted. Results The colony numbers of candida albicans were (121.0±7. 0) × 105 cfu/ml in resin soft denture-lining material and (208. 8±8. 6) × 105cfu/ml in silicone rubber soft denture-lining material (P<0. 05). But there were no differences in colony numbers of streptococcus mutans and actinomyces viseosus. After soaked in chlorhexidine acetate and triclosan, the colony numbers of streptococcus mutans were significantly reduced to (87.1±4. 3)× 105cfu/ml, (61.6± 7.9) × 105cfu/ml, (42.1±8.2) × 105cfu/ml and (21.3±4.3)× 105cfu/ml, and the colony numbers of candida albicans were significantly reduced to (11.6±3.6) × 105cfu/ml, (11.1±3. 7) × 105cfu/ml, (41.6±3.0) × 105cfu/ml and (44. 6±4.1)× 105cfu/ml(all P<0. 01). However, chlorhexidine acetate and triclosan had no effects on actinomyces viscosus. There were no significant differences in the action effects between the two detergents (P>0. 05). Conclusions Chlorhexidine acetate and trielosan can effectively inhibit the adhesion of microorganism on denture-lining materials, which are useful in clinic.

Objective To investigate a special optimization technique for computer aided measure, and provide anatomical basis for screw internal fixation in the cavitas glenoidalis through the coracoid process of scapula. Methods Thirty accurate scapula models were reconstructed from CT data sets. First, special optimization objective function was designed for single screw internal fixation configuration, and the optimal placement of screw was found automatically under constraints. Then, the placements of double screws internal fixation configuration were searched taking advantage of principal component analysis. Finally, statistical measure data were provided according to new anatomical reference landmarks for clinical use. Results For single screw internal fixation configuration, the distance from the optimal screw entry point P to the acromion process point X was (39.15±2.28) mm, to the coracoid process point Y was (28.66±2.68) mm, to the angulus superior point Z was (61.13±6.57) mm;The angle was (81.27±7.15)° between PX and PY, and (133.27±6.84)° between PX and PZ. The mean inclination of the lag screw was (104.08±4.41)° for the angle with line PX, (101.29±3.51)° with line PY, and (76.23±5.03)° with line PZ. For double screws configuration, the distance from the original single screw entry point P to the screw entry point E was (5.12±1.37)mm,to the screw entry point F was (3.88±0.94)mm. The angle between the long axis of coracoid process and line EF was (27.41±3.51)°. Conclusion The automatic optimization technique for computer aided measure is very efficient and has many advantages over the conventional manual dissection methods, and is convenient to design new anatomical reference landmark system for clinical use.
