Objective To assess the craniotomy in traumatic frontal sinus fracture cerebrospinal fluid( CSF) leaks.Methods Clinical data of 12 traumatic frontal sinus fracture CSF leaks from January 2010 to December 2014, who treated by craniotomy and conservation treatment was invalid were reviewed.Combined typical clinical presenta-tion and basicranial thin-layer computed tomography(CT),made qualitative diagnosis and localization.Craniotomy by bilateral coronary incision and epidural approach was performed.Repairation was mainly for the endocranium and the basicranium.Bone cement was used to reconstruct the osseous defect of the frontal sinus,and then with pedicle periosteal flap coverage.Dural defects was fixed with autogenous fascia.After operation,staying in bed and using anti-biotic for 7-14 days were required,while mannital or lumbar-drainage as needed.Results All 12 cases got posi-tive preoperative CT results.Craniotomy was performed,succeeded without reoperation.None of intracranial infection happened,while 1 case suffered from anosphrasia.Followed up for 3 -12 months, none CSF leaks relapsed. Conclusion Craniotomy by coronary incision,dispose the endocranium and the basicranium for the patients who suf-fered from frontal sinus fracture CSF leaks while conservation treatment is invalid,can obtain satisfied result.

Treating tumors with electric field is an interdisciplinary integrated and comprehensive research which applies electro-technology to tumor treatment.This therapy has the characteristics of safe,practical to its users and the parameters are easily to be controlled,which has attracted considerable attention in recent years.The main types of electric field in current research or application are pulsed electric field and direct current electric field.Both of the types can change the environment where tumors grow with different mechanisms,and the tumors would be killed through their pathological changes.Alternating electric field in intermediate frequency is a new type of tumor treating field,which has a promising application prospect.This article reviews the international and domestic research progress of the effects and mechanisms of the three kinds of electric fields used in the treatment of tumors.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine and dexamethasone in inhibiting opioid-induced cough (OIC) during general anesthesia induction in patients with gynecological tumors.Methods:A total of 180 patients who were scheduled for elective gynecological tumor surgery under general anesthesia in Shanxi Provincial Cancer Hospital from March to November 2019 were selected. They were randomly divided into blank control group, dexmedetomidine group and dexamethasone group according to the random number table method, each group had 60 cases. Firstly, all patients had a 10-minute rest (T 0) after they entered the operate room. Treatment before general anesthesia induction:dexmedetomidine group was pumped dexmedetomidine 0.5 μg/kg (diluted to 10 ml with 0.9% NaCl injection) using an electronic infusion pump; dexamethasone group was injected intravenously dexamethasone 10 mg; blank control group was pumped with 10 ml 0.9% NaCl injection. The pumping was finished within 5 minutes, and the end time of pumping was denoted as T 1. Induction of general anesthesia was performed 5 minutes after the end of pumping: firstly, sufentanil was given intravenously at 0.3 μg/kg, and the injection was finished within 5 seconds (T 2). Two minutes after sufentanil injection (T 3), cis-atracurium 0.3 mg/kg and propofol medium/long-chain injection 2 mg/kg were sequentially injected. Then preoxygenation, endotracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were implemented in turn. One minute after intubation was recorded as T 4. The incidence and severity of cough in patients within T 2-T 3 of each group were recorded, as well as the incidence of tachycardia, bradycardia, hypertension, hypotension, respiratory depression and myotonia during T 1-T 4. Results:The incidence of OIC in the dexmedetomidine group (10.0%, 6/60) and dexamethasone group (8.3%, 5/60) was lower than that in the blank control group (33.3%, 20/60), and the difference among the three groups was statistically significant ( χ2 = 16.445, P < 0.01), while there was no significant difference in the incidence of OIC between the dexmedetomidine group and the dexamethasone group ( P > 0.05). The incidence of sinus bradycardia in the dexmedetomidine group (16.3%, 10/60) was higher than that in the blank control group (0, 0/60) and dexamethasone group (8.4%, 1/60), and the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0.05). Respiratory depression and myotonia did not occur in the three groups. Conclusions:Pretreatment with dexmedetomidine or intravenous dexamethasone before anesthesia induction can effectively reduce the incidence of OIC in patients with gynecological tumors, and there is no significant difference between the effects of the two drugs. The incidence of sinus bradycardia increases significantly after dexmedetomidine infusion.

Objective:To study the effect of intravenous injection with butorphanol at different time points on stress response, recovery time after drug withdrawal, emergence agitation and postoperative pain in lung cancer patients undergoing thoracoscopic lobectomy.Methods:A total of 90 lung cancer patients who underwent elective thoracoscopic lobectomy from September 2019 to May 2020 in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University were selected and randomly divided into three groups according to random number table, 30 cases in each group. Group A was set as a preemptive analgesia group, and 20 μg/kg butorphanol was injected intravenously at 15 min before anesthesia induction; group B was injected with 20 μg/kg butorphanol at 30 min before the end of operation; and the blank control group (group C) was given with the same volume of 0.9% NaCl injection at the same time points. The following data including blood glucose, cortisol, heart rate and mean arterial pressure (MAP), recovery time after skin suture and drug withdrawal, emergence agitation score and incidence rate of restlessness, postoperative pain visual analogue scale (VAS) were observed.Results:The level of blood glucose [(5.25±0.32), (5.17±0.58) mmol/L] and cortisol [(253.63±48.29), (222.17±35.73) ng/ml] in group A were lower than those in group B [(5.85±0.53), (5.52±0.48) mmol/L; (302.83±48.63), (274.87±47.93) ng/ml] and group C [(6.07±0.70), (5.68±0.52) mmol/L; (319.97±32.05), (295.57±46.83) ng/ml] immediately after skin suture and 6 h after the operation (all P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in MAP and heart rate at intubation among the three groups (all P > 0.05). The levels of MAP and heart rate in group A at intubation were higher than those before anesthesia induction (all P < 0.05); there were no statistical differences of the levels of MAP and heart rate at 30 min after one-lung ventilation and at extubation compared with those before anesthesia induction (all P > 0.05). In group B and group C, heart rate and MAP at intubation, 30 min after one-lung ventilation and extubation were higher than those before anesthesia induction (all P < 0.05). Among them, the recovery time after drug withdrawal in group B [(16.53±3.64) min] was longer than that in group A [(13.83±3.24) min] and group C [(12.47±3.35) min] (all P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference between group A and group C ( P > 0.05). In addition, in terms of emergence agitation score and agitation incidence, group A [(3.20±0.41) scores, 0 (0/30)] was lower than group B [(3.73±0.74) scores, 7% (2/30)] and group C [(4.00±0.79) scores, 10% (3/30)] (all P < 0.05). The pain VAS in group A [(3.10±0.61) scores, (3.27±0.52) scores] at 3 h and 12 h after operation were lower than those in group B [(3.53±0.86) scores, (3.70±0.53) scores] and group C [(4.00±0.83) scores, (4.10±0.71) scores] at the same time points (all P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in pain VAS among the three groups at 24 h and 48 h after operation (all P > 0.05). Conclusions:For lung cancer patients who underwent thoracoscopic lobectomy, preemptive analgesia with butorphanol not only can reduce the stress response and increase the stability of hemodynamics, but also can effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative pain and restlessness without prolonging the recovery time after stopping drug.

Objective To evaluate the clinical characters, management and prognostic factors of patients with differentiated invasive thyroid carcinoma (DITC). Methods The data were analyzed retrospectively for 114 DITC patients treated at Department of Head and Neck Surgery of Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center. Survival analysis was performed by Kaplan-Meier method, comparison among/between groups was performed using log-rank test, and multivariate analysis was carried out using Cox proportional hazard model. Results After surgery, 68 patients were with tumor residue. The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rate were 91.9% and 80.1% respectively in all patients, while the 10-year overall survival rate were 88.5% 、78.5% and 53.1% in no tumor residue group, micro-residue group and grossresidue group respectively. This study failed to prove that radiotherapy might improve the survival rate in patients with postoperative tumor residue. Multivariate analysis indicated that age, invasion to esophagus and recurrence predict the prognosis. Conclusion DITC may be treated mainly by surgical operation. Radical resection is the key factor in the treatment of DITC. Patients with DITC have a relatively poor prognosis.Age, esophagus invasion and status of tumor residue are the most important factors affecting the prognosis.

Heparinase II (Hep II) from Flavobacterium heparinum is an enzyme that could specifically cleave certain sequence of heparin and heparan sulfate. In this work, fermentation conditions of recombinant heparinase II (His-Hep II) producing bacteria were optimized, including initial induction time, inducer (IPTG) concentration, induction temperature and induction time. The optimum conditions were as follows: cultivating recombinant bacteria to exponential prophase under 37 degrees C, then adding IPTG to a final concentration of 0.3 g/L, finally cultivating recombinant bacteria under 20 degrees C for 10 h. The total crude enzyme activity reached 570 U/L. Based on these results, high cell density fermentation of recombinant bacteria was studied. The final OD600 could reach 98 and the total crude enzyme activity of His-Hep II increased to 9 436 U/L.
