Objective To determine the effective target plasma propofol concentration required to prevent the response to fibercolonoscope examination in 50% of patients (EC50) .Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 18-60 yrs weighing 45-70 kg undergoing fibercolonoscope examination were enrolled in this study. The initial target plasma propofol concentration was set at 5.0 ?g?ml-1 . EC50 was determined by up-and-down sequential experiment. The effect of TCI of propofol was based on the movement on the movement of the body in response to fibercolonoscope examination. If effective the target plasma propofol concentration was set at a lower concentration in the next patient and vice sersa. Each time the target plasma propofol concentration increased/decreased by 0.5 ?g?ml-1. The up-and-down sequences were analyzed by using the Dixon and Massey method to determine the EC50.Results The EC50 of propofol for fibercolonoscope examination was 4.9 ?g?ml-1 [95% confidence interval (CI) 4.5-5.4 ?g?ml-1] . Four patients developed respiratory depression during examination (6.67%). Conclusion The EC50 of propofol for fibercolonoscope examination is 4.9 ?g?ml-1.

Melorheostosis is a rare disorder of osteopathia. The clinical characteristics of melorheostosis in children is totally different from that in adults. The radiographic features of melorheostosis include the hyperostosis in endosteal on the one side of the cavum medullare and formed streakiness. The soft tissue contracture of the limb and joint deformities are the symptoms of melorheostosis. Here, the authors reported a melorheostosis case of 6 years old girl who suffered from severe valgus deformity of the right knee with permanent patellar dislocation. A surgical stabilization was applied with lateral soft tissue release, medial soft tissue stabilization and transferred the vastus medialis laterally (kinetic stability). After 19 years follow up postoperatively, the limb developed well in satisfied alignment with good function of knee joints, even participated in some sports activities. Other authors reported a similar case of melorheostosis with surgical treatment and achieved good outcomes in limb realignment and reduction. The further suggested that the surgical treatment should be produced before epiphyseal closure.

Objective To explore the relationship between different hemorrhage position,hemorrhage volume,surgical time and outcome of treatment with surgical methods of HICH.Methods A total of 1310 patients were admitted from six hospitals from January 2004 to January 2008,the 1310 patients were divided into six groups according to different operation:craniotomy through bone flap (group A),craniotomy through small bone window (group B),stereotactic drilling drainage (group C1 and group C2),neuron-endoscopy operation (group D) and external ventricular drainage (group E),considering hemorrhage position,hemorrhage volume,surgical time and result of surgical methods were reviewed and analyzed.Results ①Craniotomy through bone flap should be selected with the case of superficial or deep hematoma volume (＞ 80 mL),median line structure distinct motion,metaphase or advanced stage of hernia of brain.②Craniotomy through small bone window and neuron-endoscopy should be selected with the case of moderate hematoma volume (50-80 mL) ③Drilling drainage should be selected with the case of small hematoma volume in superficial or deep hematoma volume (20-50 mL) ④Extemal drainage should be selected in dealing with ventricular hemorrhage.Small bone window or neuron-endoscopy should be selected in ventricular casting mould.⑤The appropriate operation time for patients with hematoma volume less than 80 mL should be 6-12 hours and large hematoma should be immediately operated to save lives.The operation time should depend on patients detail condition.Conclusions Craniotomy through bone flap was suitable for large hematoma and hernia of brain; Stereotactic drilling drainage should be selected in patients with hematoma volume less than 80mL; and the operation results in dealing with HICH would be improved via suitable operation time and surgical methods and adividual according to Hemorrhage position and Hemorrhage volume.

In order to provide substantial scientific information for exploring the mechanism of porcine liver injury caused by Taenia asiatica (T.asiatica),the expression of Cysteine aspartyl proteinase 3 (Caspase-3) from liver tissues of porkets that were experimentally infected by T.asiatica was examined.The T.asiatica adults were collected from the taeniasis patients in Duyun,Guizhou Province and identified biologically.The eggs were harvested from gravid proglottids and prepared by repeated washing and centrifugation.Twelve 20-days old Yorkshire and Seghers hybrid porkets were randomly divided into experimental and control groups as six pigs per group.The experimental group was orally administrated with 1.5 × 106 eggs per porket at day 0 post-infection.The porkets of both groups were sacrificed on the day 15 and day 75 post-infection (three pigs per time point) respectively,and liver samples were collected for further experiments.Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction method was employed to detect the mRNA levels of Caspase-3,and western blotting and immunohistochemistry methods were performed to detect the level of Caspase-3 expression in both groups.At the day 15 post-infection,the mRNA level and expression level of Caspase-3 of the experimental group were significantly decreased,comparison with the control group (P =0.011,P=0.008 and P=0.004 respectively).It was positive with Caspase-3 when yellow or brown signal appeared in the cytoplasm of liver cells by immunohistochemistry.However,at the day 75 post-infection,the mRNA level and expression level of Caspase-3 of the experimental group were dramatically similar to the control group.Furthermore,in the experimental group,the mRNA level and expression level of Caspase-3 were significantly increased at day 75 post-infection than day 15 post-infection (P--0.018,P=0.003 and P=0.002 respectively).These results suggested that Caspase-3 might be involved into the regulation of the damage of porcine liver induced by T.asiatica challenge at the early infection stage and have on effect to the hepatic injury because of the dramatic recovery of Caspase-3 at the consequent infection stage.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of fixation of distal radius fracture with dorsal instability with locking compression plate (LCP) via radial approach.Methods From September 2009 to October 2012, 21 cases underwent LCP fixation of the distal radius fracture with dorsal instability via radial approach.The study included 14 males and 7 females (mean age, 54.5 years;range, 38-81 years).Twelve cases were injured in traffic accidents, 7 in falls and 2 in high falls.Fracture AO classification was type A3 in 10 cases, type C1 in 8 cases and type C2 in 3 cases.Two cases (one type A3 and one type C1) had malunion.When the lateral column, intermediate column, radial edge and dorsal plane were exposed by radial incision, LCP fixation with bone grafting was performed to restore the height of radial styloid process, ulnar deviation and palmar tilt.According to the GartlandWerley score, wrist joint function was evaluated.Results Mean duration of follow-up was 13.5 months (range, 12 to 24 months).Stage Ⅰ bone union was shown on X-rays, with the healing time of 7.5 weeks.Based on the X-rays at postoperative 6 months, 1 year and 2 years, the shortening of radial styloid process was ≤ 2 mm, mean volar tilt was 12.5°(range, 8°-17°) , mean ulnar tilt was 20.5° (range, 15°-26°), and step-off or gap of the articular surface was ≤ 2 mm.In postoperative wrist motion assay, mean volar flexion was 60°(range, 30°-70°), mean dorsal flexion was 55° (range, 30°-65°), mean radial deviation was 17°(range, 10°-20°), mean ulnar deviation was 25.5° (range, 20°-30°),pronation was 65.5° (range, 60°-70°) , and mean supination was 75.5° (range, 60°-80°).Mean grip strength was 75％ (60％-95％)of the contralateral side.Two cases suffered from pain (one complained of moderate pain and one minor pain occasionally).According to the Gartland-Werley score, 16 cases were rated excellent, 2 good, 2 fair and 1 poor, with the excellent rate of 86％.No complication was found as injury of the superficial branch of radial nerve, infection, nonunion, nail loosening, medium neuritis and tendon injury.Conclusions Lateral column, intermediate column, radial edge and dorsal plane can be shown via the radial approach.LCP fixation combined with bone grafting contributes to fracture anatomical reduction.

Objective To study the nlanifestation and the clinical significance of the cerebral angiography of the isehemic cerebrovascular diseases.Methods Digital sublraction angiography(DSA)was taken in 312 patients with cerebral infarction and transient ischemic attack(TLA).The distribution of the lesion in the extra/intracranial arteries was compared.Results Cerebral angiography showed that the stenosis and occlusion was dominant in the intracranial arteries at the cerebral infarction in the internal carotid artery system and vertebrobasilar artery system[59.57%(56/94)and 61.90%(26/42)].TIA of internal carotid artery system was mainly because of stenosis of intracranial arteries (68.75%,22/32).TIA of vertebrobasilar artery system was mainly because of stenosis of extracranial arteries(61.70%,29/47).Conclusions The diseases of the intracranial arteries are the main causes of cerebral infarction(including internal carotid artery system and vertebrobasilar artery system) and TIA of internal carotid artery system. The diseases of the extracranial arteries are main causes of TIA of vertebrobasilar artery system.

Objective: To understand the potential categories of harmful behaviors of college students in Wuling Mountain Area and its relationship with campus bullying, so as to provide a theoretical basis for promoting the development of college students physical and mental health. Methods: The stratified random cluster sampling method was used to select 3 042 college students from six universities in Wuling Mountain Area from October to December, 2022. The "Chinese Youth Health Related/Risk Behaviors Questionnaire" (University Edition) compiled by the National Youth Health Related/Risk Behaviors Survey Group was used to investigate the health risk behaviors. The potential category analysis method was used to analyze the food preference, insecurity, fighting, loneliness, depression, insomnia, heartbreak, suicidal ideation, smoking, drinking, game addiction, Internet addiction of health risk behaviors were used to further analyze the relationship between different categories and campus bullying by using multi category Logistic regression method. Results: College students in Wuling Mountain Area were classified into low risk group of category 1 (44.2%), category 2 (5.4%) substance dependent group, category 3(50.4%) emotional disorder group. The distribution of potential categories of health risk behaviors among college students was statistically significant by gender( χ 2=31.44, 11.69， P < 0.05 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling demographic variables, campus bullying was the risk factor of category 3 emotional disorder group( OR =1.88, P <0.01). Conclusion bullying. Colleges and universities should attach great importance to the occurrence of campus bullying, formulate intervention programs for different categories of health hazard behaviors, and promote the healthy development of college students physical and mental health.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in the liver tissue of rats with bile duct ligation (BDL)-induced hepatic fibrosis and evaluate the inhibitory effects of perindopril and losartan on TLR4 expression.

METHODSMale Wistar Rats were randomly divided into sham-operated group (n=6), BDL group, perindopril treatment group (2 mg/kg) and losartan treatment group (50 mg/kg) (n=12). Perindopril and losartan groups were further divided into two subgroups for corresponding treatments by gastric lavage once daily for 14 and 30 days. The protein level of TLR4 in the liver tissue was examined by Western blotting.

RESULTSIn 14-day BDL group, the protein level of TLR4 significantly increased to 6.53∓1.11 folds of that in the sham group (P<0.05), and was lowered significantly to 1.71∓0.41 folds and 0.95∓0.38 folds following perindopril and losartan treatments for 14 days. TLR4 expression significantly increased to 6.51∓0.87 folds and 5.64∓0.87 folds of that of the sham group in perindopril and losartan groups after the 30-day treatments (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONTLR4 expression is up-regulated in the liver of rats with BDL-induced hepatic fibrosis, and can be lowered by perindopril and losartan treatmemts for 14 days.

Objective:To investigate the status of regional citrate anticoagulation (RCA) in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) in emergency department.Methods:Participants of a national emergency conference from August 1st to August 4th in 2019 from hospitals of different levels in different regions were interviewed by online questionnaire to collect data about the current status and limitations of the application of RCA in emergency CRRT by convenient sampling.Results:Totally 407 questionnaires were collected through internet, and the completeness of the answers was as high as 100%. Twenty-three responses with logic errors were excluded, and 384 questionnaires were finally retrieved, with an effective rate of 94.35%. Representatives from 29 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government participated in the questionnaire survey, and the hospitals in which they worked were mainly class Ⅲ grade A [70.31% (270/384)]. The survey showed that 61.46% (236/384) of the emergency departments could carry out CRRT independently. There were less than 10 CRRT cases per month in most emergency departments [52.87% (166/314)]. In the emergency departments where CRRT were carried out, heparin was a widely used and well-applied anticoagulant [82.17% (258/314)], and 199 emergency departments (63.38%) were proficient in RCA. In clinical practice, heparin [49.68% (156/314)] was preferred to RCA [25.80% (81/314)] and low molecular weight heparin [23.56% (74/384)]. In the emergency departments where RCA could be used skillfully, 4% sodium citrate was the main regional anticoagulant [68.34% (136/199)]. Anticoagulation protocol came from different sources, most of which were from nephrology or dialysis center (29.65%). Most departments could adjust the ionized calcium before the filter to the target safety level [0.9-1.2 mmol/L, 88.94% (177/199)], and adjust the ionized calcium after the filter to the target ideal anticoagulation level [0.2-0.4 mmol/L, 93.47% (186/199)] within 4 hours. The common complications that emergency physicians concerned were accumulation of citrate [58.29% (116/199)], metabolic alkalosis [54.77% (109/199)] and metabolic acidosis [37.19% (74/199)]. In 281 emergency departments that could not use RCA, there were kinds of factors that limited the use of citrate, such as higher cost than heparin (31.67%), unskilled personnel (21.00%), limited source of citrate (17.08%), concerns of complications (11.74%). At present, the substitution fluids used in clinical practice were mainly the commercial products (45.54%). In most cases, emergency CRRT filters had a life span of 12-23 hours (39.49%).Conclusions:The use of RCA in domestic emergency CRRT is low. Compared with the international peers, we are still lacking of adequate understanding of RCA. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an anticoagulation protocol of RCA for emergency departments in China, and promote training of CRRT.

Objective To measure the change of facial volume maintenance rate after autologous fat grafted for repaired progressive facial hemiatrophy by using three-dimensional digital technology.Methods 3D scanner was used to acquire facial data in 10 patients with progressive facial hemiatrophy before operation;Mimics 17.0 software was used to reconstruce patients' facial 3D model and to calculate the volume of facial tissue defect;autologous fat was grafted to repair facial deformity.The facial volume maintenance rate was calculated in all the patients 3 months and 6 months after operation.Results We had performed facial 3D data acquisition and facial repaired with autologus fat grafted in 10 patients;patients' facial morphology was improved.The mean facial volume maintenance rate was (35.80±3.44)％ in 3 months and (27.82±3.80)％ 6 months after surgery.Conclusions The mean facial volume maintenance rate in postoperative 3 months is inferior to that in 6 months in single autologous fat grafted for repairing progressive facial hemiatrophy.
