Objective Radical surgery is extensively used in the treatment of lung cancer in elderly patients .This study aimed to investigate the effects of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHVHD) on the cognitive function and plasma S100βof elderly people following radical surgery for lung cancer . Methods A total of 112 lung cancer patients treated by radical surgery were equally randomized to an AHVHD and a non-AHVHD control group .Using the Mini-Mental State Examination scale ( MMSE) , we evaluated the cognitive function of the patients .We made comparisons between the two groups in the cerebral oxygen metabolism indexes and plasma S100βlevels at T0(immediately after anesthesia induction), T1(15 min after hemodilution), T2(60 min after hemodilution), T3(60 min before the end of surgery ) and T4 ( at the end of surgery ) as well as MMSE scores before and after operation . Results At T1 , T2, T3, and T4, the values of jugular venous oxygen saturation in the AHVHD group were (75.1 ±4.3), (78.5 ±3.1), (79.1 ± 4.4), and (79.6 ±2.8) %, respectively, with time-dependent decreases in Da-jvO2 and cerebral oxygen extraction , and significantly higher than that at T0 (P<0.05) and those in the control group ([63.4 ±2.0], [63.9 ±1.8], [64.2 ±3.0], and [64.7 ±3.2]%) (P<0.05).The levels of plasma S100βat T1, T2, T3, and T4 were remarkably lower in the AHVHD group ([0.53 ±0.04], [0.52 ±0.07], [0.51 ±0.06], and [0.50 ±0.08] μg/L) than in the control ([0.64 ±0.06], [0.64 ±0.04], [0.65 ±0.05], and [0.67 ±0.06] μg/L), with statistically significant differences between the two groups at the same time point (P<0.05).At 1, 3, 5, and 7 days after surgery, the MMSE scores were markedly higher in the AHVHD group (24.3 ±1.7, 26.5 ±1.9, 27.8 ±1.3, and 28.1 ±1.0) than in the control (21.1 ±1.6, 24.0 ±2.1, 25.9 ±1.8, and 26.4 ±1.7) (P<0.05). Conclusion AHVHD can significantly improve cognitive function and reduce plasma S 100βin elderly patients following radical surgery for lung cancer , which may be related to cerebral oxygen metabolism .

Objective To evaluate the effects of two fluid therapy methods guided by SVV and CVP re-spectively on intestinal barrier of colon cancer surgery with elderly patients. Methods 50 elderly patients with ASA Ⅱ~Ⅲ level were randomly divided into Group S (fluid therapy guided by SVV) and Group C (convention-al fluid therapy). Each group has 25 cases. Patients in group S were treated under goal-directed fluid infusion strategy with target of 10%≤SVV≤12%. Group C received conventional infusion characterized by monitoring central venous pressure (CVP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP). Fluid volume, surgery time, urine volume, blood loss, exhausting time, post-operative hospitalization days in Group S and Group C were recorded. MAP, HR, CVP, SVV, HCO3- of patients were recorded at the same time before anesthesia (T0), beginning of surgery (T1), one hour after surgery (T2) and ending of surgery (T3) respectively. Venous blood samples were collected at the time points of T0, T1, T2 and T3 to detect DAO and D-lactic acid levels. Results MAP and CVP at time points of T2 and T3 in Group S were obviously lower than that in Group C; total intraoperative fluid volume in Group S was obviously less than that in Group C (P < 0. 05); postoperative exhausting time and hospitalization days in Group S decreased significantly (P < 0.05) and the content of DAO and D-lactic acid in Group S were lower than that in Group C (P < 0.05). Conclusion For elderly patients with colon cancer surgery, fluid thera-py guided by SVV is better than conventional fluid therapy guided by CVP in protecting intestinal barrier.

0.05). Conclusion IBS may be related to the changes of the serum level of PYY,but not to the changes of PYY receptor.

Objective To determine equilibrium solubility and apparent oil/water partition coefficient of ephedra alkaloid in the compatibility Ephedrae Herba-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata; To provide a basis for transdermal delivery.Methods The extract was prepared by 70% ethyl alcohol and D101 macroporous absorbent resins. Dissolvability of its main effective components (ephedrine and pseudoephedrine) in the compatibility Ephedrae Herba-Aconiti Lateralis Radix Praeparata was determined by precipitation method and HPLC method; the oil/water partition coefficient of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in n-octanol-water buffer solution system were determined by shaking flask method.Results The extract had optimum solubility in methyl alcohol and acetonitrile, and ephedrine and pseudoephedrine had optimum solubility in buffered solution of pH 7.4. Oil/water partition coefficient of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in n-octanol-water system was 0.101 with lgP=-0.99 and 0.076 with lgP=-1.12. Oil-water partition coefficients of ephedrine and pseudoephedrine in the extract were affected by pH.Conclusion The extract has optimum solubility in high polar solvents. Ephedrine and pseudoephedrine have certain fatsoluble and water-soluble in suitable pH, which was beneficial for transdermal absorption.

Objective To observe the changes of peptide YY (PYY) and its receptors in rats with ulcerative colitis (UC) by detecting both the serum level of PYY and jejunum epithelial cells in UC rats. Methods Rats were randomly divided into UC group, diarrhea-irritable bowel syndrome (D-IBS) group and control group. We measured the serum level of PYY by radioimmunoassay and made radioligand analysis of two basic parameters reflecting the characteristics of PYY receptors: dissociation constant (Kd) and maximum binding capacity (Bmax). Results The serum level of PYY was higher in UC and D-IBS groups than in normal group (P<0.001), and it was higher in UC group than in D-IBS group (P<0.001). However, the values of Kd and Bmax in UC group did not differ significantly from those in D-IBS and normal groups (P>0.05). Conclusion The serum level of PYY in UC group was significantly higher than that in normal group and D-IBS group; therefore, we assume that the change of serum PYY level may be related to not only the symptom of diarrhea but also inflammation. Kd and Bmax in neither UC group nor D-IBS group were significantly different from those in normal group, which indicates that the symptom and inflammation in UC may have nothing to do with the changes of PYY receptors.

Objective To analyze the surgical treatment of pancreatic duct stones.Methods The clinical data of 46 patients with pancreatic duct stones treated in our hospital from January 2008 to January 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The most common symptoms were abdominal pain in 42 patients,diarrhea in 4 patients,diabetes in 6 patients,increased level of amylase in 4 patients,high level of CA19-9 in 9 patients and concomitant pancreatic cancer in 5 patients.4 patients had history of acute pancreatitis.All patients were diagnosed with pancreatic duct stones by preoperative imaging.The stones were located in the head of the pancreas in 21 cases,in pancreatic body and tail in 17 cases,and in the whole length of the pancreas in 8 cases.7 cases had single stone,28 cases had 2 to 3 stones,and 11 cases had more than three stones.21 cases had stones with a maximum diameter more than 1.0 cm,and 25 cases with a maximum diameter less than 1.0 cm.Pancreatic lithotomy plus pancreaticojejunostomy was performed in 33 cases,pancreatoduodenectomy in 8 and resection of the body and tail of pancreas plus splenectomy in 5 cases.6(13.0％) patients had postoperative complications,and there was no mortality.3(6.5％) patients had postoperative residual stones.39 cases were followed up with follow-up time ranging from 3 months to 57 months.Pain relief rate was 85.7％,Stone occurred in 2 (4.3％) patients.Conclusions Surgery is an important treatment for pancreatic duct stones,and treatments should be adopted based on the situations of individual patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of different depth of anesthesia on ScvO2 and ABL in elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods Totally 55 elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal sur-gery were randomly divided into deep anesthesia group(BIS40-49)(group D,n=27)and light anesthesia group (BIS50-59)(group S,n = 28). While SVV value was fixed,fluid management was conducted while monitoring CVP. HR,MAP,the change of central venous oxygen saturation and lactic acid index were recorded in different time points. Results Propofol dosage in group D and group S indicated statistical significance(P<0.05). ScvO2 in group S in T3~T5 was higher than that in T0 and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Com-pared with ScvO2 in T3 in group D,that in group S was significantly higher and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(P<0.01),but no significant difference was found in other time point in 2 groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference between and within ABL groups in each time period(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in terms of other indicators between 2 groups. Conclusions For elderly patients with gastrointestinal surgery,shallow anesthesia can improve tissue oxygenation and reduce the amount of anesthetics.

ObjectiveTo characterize the gene expression in acute phase of irradiated oligodendrocytes (OL) in vitro.Methods The total RNA was extracted from irradiated OLs with 10 Gy by 6 MV X-rays at 1 and 4 h.The Affymetrix RAT 230 2.0 microarray were used to evaluate and screen the gene expression profile.The quantitative real-time RT-PCR was performed to validate the microarray results of selected myelin basic protein (MBP) and neural cell adhesion molecule 1 ( NCAM-1 ) genes.Results Compared with un-irradiated OLs,there were 1079 different expressed genes in irradiated cells.Those genes were classified in 79 categories based on the functional classification.Some familiar genes associated with OL cellular physiological process,apoptosis,cell cycle control,metabolism,cell communication and receptor binding were included.Compared with the microarray results,the coincidence rate of real-time RT-PCR was 91.7%.The down-regulation of MBP and up-regulation of NCAM 1 gene expression were confirmed.Conclusions Radiation-induced changes in gene expression in OLs took place in acute phase and influenced by time-course.The changes of MBP and NCAM1 gene expression may play a key role in the pathogenesis of radiation-induced demyelination.
