Objective The aim of this study is to evaluate whether video -assisted thoracoscopic surgi-cal( VATS) lobectomy is as effective as open thoracotomy lobectomy for complete dissection of the mediastinal lymph node(MLN).Methods Patients with clinical stage N0 lung cancer who underwent lobectomy between January 2008 and June 2013were retrospectively evaluated based on the LN station resected and lobectomy proce -dure used,and a resection ratio was calculated .Nodal stage and the proportion of patients ,from whom at least three MLNs and station 7were dissected and compared by lobectomy type .Results Of the 201 patients enrolled in the study,84 and 117 underwent VATS and open thoracotomy lobectomies ,respectively.The mean number of LNs dissected at station 3a was similar in the two groups (1.34 ±2.58 vs.1.52 ±1.78;P>0.05),but the re-section ratio differed(39%sv .63%;P <0.05).However,there were no differences at stations7 and 9R in terms of the number of LNs dissected or resection ratio for the right -sided approaches (P >0.05).There were no differences in the number of LNs dissected or resection ratio between the two groups for stations 4 L,5 L6, L,7 L, and9 L for the left-sided approaches .Only station 8L showed significant differences between the VATS and open thoracotomy groups in the number of LNs dissected (0.12 ±0.44 vs.0.46 ±0.71;P<0.05)and resection ratio (8%vs.36%;P<0.05).There were no differences in the number of LNs dissected or resection ratio between groups for station 7:82.1%of patients in each group had at least three MLNs and station 7 removed(P>0.05). The Kaplan-Meier 5-year survival was also similar between the two groups (log-rank test,P>0.05).Con-clusion VATS lobectomy is as effective as open thoracotomy lobectomy for the dissection of MLNs .Thus,VATS lobotomy resection will continue to be offered as the best choice for patients with clinical stage N0.

Objective To investigate the effect of glutamine in combination with umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells ( MSCs) transplantation on intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods Umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells were isolated, and were labeled with CM-DiI fluorescent dye.Eighty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group, ischemia reperfusion injury group, glutamine group, MSCs transplantation group and combined group with 15 rats in each group.The control group received saline enema.The injury group was treated with TNBS ( ethanol dilution) enema.The glutamine group at 1 h after TNBS received intravenous injection of 0.45 g/kg glutamine.The rats of MSCs transplantation group had tail vein injection of 1 ×1010/L umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension, and the combined group received intravenous injection of glutamine 0.45 g/kg and 1 ×1010/L umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cell suspension.ELISA was used to detect the midgut fatty acid binding protein (iFABP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) content in the rat serum.The water content of intestinal tissue was detected at 1 h and 3 h after reperfusion in each group.The expressions of NF-kB, Bcl-2 and caspase-3 mRNA and proteins in the rat intestinal epithelial cells after treated with glutamine in combination with MSCs were detected by RT-PCR and Western blot assays.Results The fluorescent tracer method revealed that the transplanted MSCs cells were distributed in the intestinal mucosal lymphoid tissues and glandular epithelial cells, indicating that MSCs might be involved in the repair process of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury.The content of serum IFABP and IL-6 in the injured group was significantly higher than that in the control group, while significantly reduced in the glutamine group, MSCs transplantation group and combined group, with the most obvious in the combined group.The content of SOD in the injury group was significantly lower than that in the control group, and significantly increased than that in the glutamine group, MSCs transplantation group, with the most striking in the combined group ( P<0.05 for all) .The water content of intestinal tissue in the injury group at 1 and 3 hours after reperfusion was significantly higher than that in the control group, significantly lower in the glutamine group, MSCs transplantation group and the combined group, with the most decreased in the combination group, and there was no significant difference between the glutamine group and MSCs transplantation group (P>0.05).Compared with the control group, the caspase-3 and NF-kB mRNA and protein expressions in the intestinal mucosal epithelial cells of the injury group were significantly increased, and the expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were significantly reduced ( P <0.05 ) , the expressions of caspase-3 and NF-kB mRNA and protein were significantly reduced in the glutamine group, MSCs transplantation group and combined group.The expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were significantly increased ( P<0.05) , while no significant difference was shown between the glutamine group and MSCs transplantation group (P>0.05), but there was a significant difference between these two groups and the combined group (P<0.05).Conclusions After treated with glutamine and MSCs transplantation, the degree of intestinal ischemia reperfusion injury is obviously reduced in rats.It may be mediated through inhibiting the expression of caspase-3 and NF-kB and promoting the expression of Bcl-2.

Objective To study the effect of dexmedetomidine(DEX)intrathecal administration on formation of chronic neuropathic pain induced by chronic constriction injury(CCI)in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty healthy adult male Sprague-Dawley(SD)rats were divided randomly into four groups(each n=30):sham group, model group,30μg/kg and 60μg/kg DEX intrathecal injection group(D30 group,D60 group). The CCI model was installed by left sciatic nerve ligaturing,sham surgery was done by exposing the sciatic nerve without ligation,and 30 μg/kg,60 μg/kg DEX(each,10 μl)and 10 μl normal saline were given intrathecally in D30,D60 and model groups respectively,all kinds of injection being once a day for 7 days. Hind paw mechanical contraction reflex threshold(MWT),heat-shrinkable reflex latency(TWL)and the score of motor dysfunction of hind extremity in rats were recorded on 1 day before ligation and 1,3,7 days after operation,and before ligation and 1,7,14 and 21 days after operation,the contents of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin(IL-1βand IL-6)in intumescentia lumbalis were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Compared with before operation,there were no significant differences in values of MWT,TWL,the motor function evaluation,TNF-α, IL-1β,and IL-6 at each time points(all P>0.05);however,with the prolongation of time,MWT and TWL were decreased,and the motor function evaluation,TNF-α,IL-1β,and IL-6 were increased in all the other groups. Compared with those of the sham group,MWT and TWL were declined,and the motor function evaluation,TNF-α, IL-1β,and IL-6 were elevated in model group. Compared with those of model group,30μg/kg and 60μg/kg DEX could significantly raise MWT(g)and TWL(s),obviously improve motor function and remarkably decrease the contents of TNF-α(pg/mg),IL-1β(pg/mg)and IL-6(pg/mg)in the spinal cord of CCI rats from 1 day after operation. And the changes in 60 μg/kg DEX group were more significant than those in 30 μg/kg DEX intrathecal injection group〔postoperative 1 day MWT:39.3±1.3 vs. 20.3±2.2,TWL:10.9±0.4 vs. 8.2±1.1,motor function score:2.00±0.00 vs. 2.00±0.75,TNF-α:33±7 vs. 125±18,IL-1β:108±12 vs. 203±34,IL-6:156±39 vs. 405±75,all P<0.05〕. Conclusions The DEX intrathecal administration has certain degree of dose-dependent therapeutic effect on hyperalgesia in CCI rat models. The mechanism is related to the amelioration of inflammatory reaction at the lumbar segment of spinal cord.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Yiqi huayu granules on gastrointestinal motility of gastrointestinal motili-ty disorder model mice and blood rheology of acute blood stasis model rats,and to provide experimental evidence for clinical use of it. METHODS:50 ICR mice were randomly divided into normal group,model group,mosapride group(positive control chemi-cal drug,0.003 g/kg),Muxiang shunqi pills group(positive control TCM,0.36 g/kg)and Yiqi huayu granules group(2.4 g/kg), with 10 mice in each group. Treatment groups were given relevant medicine solution intragastrically,once a day,for a week;nor-mal group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically. Those groups fasted for 24 h after last medication,and then were given above medicine intragastrically;1 h later,they were given atropine sulfate intragastrically to induce gastrointestinal mo-tility disorder model except for normal control group. The stomach residue rate and intestinal propulsive rate of mice were mea-sured. 60 SD rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,Compound danshen tablet group(positive control,1.0 g/kg)and Yiqi huayu granules high-dose,medium-dose and low-dose groups(2.4,1.2,0.6 g/kg),with 10 rats in each group. Nor-mal group and model group were given normal saline intragastrically,and treatment groups were given relevant medicine,once a day,for a week. 1 h after last medication,those groups were given adrenaline intraperitoneally+aqua astricta. to induce acute blood stasis model except for normal group. The whole blood viscosity(high-shearing,middle-shearing,low-shearing),plasma viscosity, 1,3,5 min platelet aggregation rate ,hematocrit and maximal platelet aggregation rate were all detected in rats. RESULTS:Com-pared with normal group,stomach residue rate of mice in model group was increased significantly(P<0.01),while intestinal pro-pulsive rate was decreased significantly(P<0.01). The whole blood viscosity(high-shearing,middle-shearing,low-shearing),plas-ma viscosity,hematocrit,1,3,5 min platelet aggregation rate and maximal platelet aggregation rate of rats were all increased sig-nificantly in model group (P<0.01). Compared with model group,above indexes of mice/rats were all improved significantly in treatment groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Yiqi huayu granules can significantly promote the function of gastrointes-tinal peristalsis and anticoagulation.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s can repair intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injuny by interfering inflammatory reactions after intestinal ischemia-reperfusion to protect intestinal barrier functions. In recent years, umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s are gradual y used as a substitute source of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s on acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury. METHODS:Umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s were induced, isolated in vitro and tracked by CM-DiI fluorescent labeling. Sixty-three Sprague-Dawley rats were equivalently randomized into three groups:control group received normal saline enema, intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury group with ethanol diluted trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid and transplantation group administrated with 1×1010/L umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel suspension via the tail vein at 1 hour after trinitro-benzene-sulfonic acid modeling. At 3 days after transplantation, colon tissues were removed in each group to observe pathological changes of the intestinal tract by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Besides, expression of leptin mRNA in the colon tissues and cyclooxygenase-2 in the mucosa were detected by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry method, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Transplanted umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel s distributed in the intestinal lymphoid tissue and among glandular epithelial cel s, suggesting that these stem cel s might be involved in the process of intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury repair. Compared with the control group, intestinal injury in the injury group was significantly aggravated, and most intestinal epithelial cel s shed;and the transplantation group appeared to have significantly reduced intestinal damage and significantly less cel shedding. Expression of leptin mRNA was significantly higher in the injury group than the transplantation group fol owed by the control group, and there were significant differences among the three groups (P<0.05). Additional y, expression of cyclooxygenase-2 in the injury group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05);compared with the injury group, expression of cyclooxygenase-2 was significantly lower in the transplantation group (P<0.05). To conclude, leptin and cyclooxygenase-2 may be involved in acute intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, and umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cel transplantation significantly lessens intestinal ischemia-reperfusion injury, which provides an experimental basis for human treating acute intestinal ischemic injury.

To develop a handling platform for loading, unloading, fixation, deployment, withdrawal and etc of medical materials in field conditions. Classified handling was performed for different function units with the de-vice developed, which was composed of a trolley, a railroad, a hydraulic handling board, a fixation belt and a vehicle-mounted tractor. The platform could enhance the efficiency of materials handling, which behaved well in the hos-pital without any handling device. The modular handling platform is easy to unload, carry, transport, fix and maintain, and thus is worthy popularizing practically.
