Thirty patients, randomly assigned into three groups, received bolus injection of ketamine 0. 5mg/ kg,midazolam 40ug/kg and one of the three narcotics: fentanyl 3ug/kg (group F ) or sufentanil 0. 4ug/kg (group S)or dihydroetorphine 0. 3ug/kg(group D)just before incision, and then a constant infusion of ketamine 0. 8mg/kg, midazolam 40ug/kg and fentanyl 3ug/kg (or sufentanil 0. 4ug/kg, or dihydroetorphine 0. 3ug/kg)mixture in 100ml normal saline at a rate of 3ml/min for 30 min in beginning, and 1 - 1. 5ml/min thereafter for maintenance. The infusion of narcotics and midazolam was terminated about 45min, and he tamine 15min prior to the end of surgery. Blood pressure and heart rate were all stable,with recovery time shortest in group S (6. 5min ) and longest in group D (12. 5min). Anesthesia were satisfactory in all the patients,except one in group D. It is concluded that this combination of tv anesthetics may be simple and effective and can be considered as an alternative anesthesia technique in the management of mass casualties.

Objective To explore the effect of miRNA‐106a(miR‐106a) expression on multidrug resistance(MDR)of gastric cancer(GC)cells and the involvement of runt‐related transcription factor 3 RUNX3.Methods The expression of miR‐106a was detected in two human gastric adenocarcinoma cell lines with MDR by immunoblotting and apoptosis assay. The sensitivity of GC cells to anticancer drugs was observed by detecting the expression of miR‐106a by using immunoblotting and PCR ,and the relationship between miR‐106a and RUNX3 was determined by luciferase activity assay.Results miR‐106a was significantly in‐creased in GC cells with MDR ,and it suppressed the sensitivity of GC cells to anticancer drugs. It could modulate MDR by tar‐geting RUNX3.Conclusion miR‐106a can induce the MDR by targeting RUNX3 in GC.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of three chemotherapy regimens and partial excision of the affected vertebrae for spinal tuberculosis. Methods Between December 1998 and November 2003, 76 cases with spinal tuberculosis were treated with chemotherapy and surgical intervention. All pa-tients were divided into three groups randomly to receive one of three different courses of chemotherapy. Among these, 38 cases were selected to receive ultra-short-course chemotherapy regimen with 2SHRZ/ 2.5H2R2Z2, 23 of short-course with 3SHRZ/5H2R2Z2, and 15 of standard with 3SHRZ/9H2R2Z2. The duration of the preoperative chemotherapy of the three groups was about the same with an average of 21 days (15 to 40 days). All patients underwent anterior partial excision of the affected vertebrae, large iliac strut graft and anterior or posterior fixation. Results The mean follow-up time of the ultra-short-course, short-course and standard chemotherapy groups were 23, 28 and 45 months respectively. The observed indices included: 1) Clinical manifestation: disappearance of TB symptoms, the nerve function recovered, life and the work activ-ities. 2) Lab tests: both ESR and CRP data or either of them in normal or near normal status. 3) X-ray, CT and MRI examination: abscesses, new lesion, absorption of the bone grafts, translucent line between bone graft and vertebral body, and correction of kyphotic deformity. 4) Ultrasonic examination: no opaque dark area at the sites where there might be the paravertebral or gravity abscesses. 5) Drug complications: the hepatic and renal function of patients at follow up were normal or close to normal. The follow-up showed that all the three groups achieved excellent results. Conclusion Treatment of spinal tuberculosis with anterior partial excision of pathologic vertebrae, large iliac strut graft and anterior or posterior internal instrumental fixation in either ultra-short-course, short-course or standard chemotherapy all achieved excellent therapeutic effects. There was no difference among three different courses of chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the feasibi1ity and efficacy of transcatheter closure of perimembranous and muscular ventricular septal defects (VSD) using the new Amplatzer membranous and muscular VSD occluder and observe the effect of membranous VSD occluding procedure on atrioventricular(AV) conductive system.Methods Twelve patients (7 males,5 females) with perimembranous VSD and two patients (1 male,1 female) with muscular VSD underwent an catheter closure using the new Amplatzer membranous and muscular VSD occluder.All patients who were eligible for device closure by means of cardiac Doppler echocardiography were routinely measured the parameters of blood dynamics before catheter closure. Artery-venous track was set up under the X-ray fluoroscopy,transesophageal (TEE) or transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) guidance. Devices were released in the right ventricular side.Twelve patients with perimembranous VSD underwent the cardiac electrophysiologic examination,including atrioventricular conductive time (AV interval) and atrioventricular nodal refractory time,before and after catheter closure.A11 patients were followed up at 2 weeks,1 month,3 months and 6 months after the procedures.Results The devices were deployed successfully in 14 patients.There was complete closure in 12 patients immediately,and tiny (

Objective To assess the prediction value of Pmax and Pd on idiopathic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation(IPAF) and the possible mechanism of amiodrone preventing the recurrence of IPAF.Methods Pmax and Pd were measured in 60 patients with IPAF and 60 healthy control subjects by 12-lead surface electrocardiography. 30 of patients with IPAF were assigned to treatment with amiodrone for 6 months. Pd?Pmax and recurrence of IPAF were observed and compared with control group during the treatment.Results Pmax and Pd were found to be significantly higher in patients with IPAF than in healthy subjects[(126?17)ms vs(102?11)ms; (50?9)vs(29?8)ms,P

Eighty elderly patients undergoing elective resection for the prostate were randomly divided into two groups, the levobupivacaine (observe group) and bupivacaine (control group) were used for spinal anesthesia, respectively. The level of sensory block and maintain time were T7±4 and (224 ±28) min in observed group, those in control group were T6±3 and (227 ±30) min, respectively ( both P＞ 0. 05). The mean arterial blood pressure of control group was (71 ±8) -(72 ±8) mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0. 133 kPa) from 5 to 30 min after injection; meanwhile that of observed group was(75 ± 9) mm Hg (P ＜ 0. 05). The incidences of hypotension and nausea were 10% (4/40) and 0% (0/40) respectively in observe group, and those were 30% (12/40) and 15% (6/40) respectively in control group (both P＜0.05). The results indicate that levobupivacaine and bupivacaine have similar anesthetic effects, but levobupivacaine has fewer side effects and is more suitable for elderly patients.

Objective To assess the biomechanical stability and vertebra strain distribution of asymmetrical posterior internal fixation for minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion ( MI-TLIF) . Methods Range of motion ( ROM) and strain distribution testing were performed in 8 fresh-frozen calf lumbar spine motion segments in flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation using 5. 0 Nm torques at the L4-5 motion segment. The sequential test configurations included intact motion segment, TLIF with unilateral pedicle screw ( UPS) , TLIF with UPS plus transfacet pedicle screws ( UPS+TFPS) , and TLIF with bilateral pedicle screw ( BPS) . The ROM was deter-mined to assess the construct stability. Strain distribution was recorded along with flexion and lateral bending configurations. Results In flexion/extension, lateral bending, and axial rotation, there was no significant difference in the ROM between BPS and UPS+TFPS fixation after TLIF. After TLIF, the UPS construct provided less segment stability than BPS and UPS+TFPS fixation in flexion, lateral bending. Strain distribution under UPS+TFPS fixation was respectively 21. 8% and 24. 2% higher than that under BPS fixation along with flexion and lateral bending. Conclusion UPS+TFPS fixation provides stability comparable to that of MI-TLIF with bilateral PS, with better load share with the vertebrae body.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of anti-β2 glyeoprotein Ⅰ antibodies (IgG, IgM, IgA)in systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Methods The anti-β2-GP Ⅰ antibodies and anti-cardiolipin antibodies(ACL) level were measured by ELISA in 100 SLE patients, 39 other rheumatoid arthri-tis patients and 30 healthy control people. Their clinical application was analyzed in SLE diagnose and thera-py. Results The level of anti-β2-GP Ⅰ (IgG, IgM, IgA)were significantly higher in SLE than that in healthy (P < 0. 01 ). Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 17.2%, 95.7%, 85.0% and 44. 6%, respectively. There was a significant and positive correlation be-tween anti-β2-GP Ⅰ antibodies and ACL antibodies ( IgG, IgM, IgA) (r = 0.418, 0. 624, 0.518, 0. 583, P <0.01). In multivariate analysis the factors(anti-β2-GP Ⅰ antibodies, ACL antibodies, dsDAN, u1-RNP, Sm, SSA, SSB, Jo-1, Scl-70, P-protein, PT, APTT) associated with SLE disease activity index(SLEDAI) were anti-β2-GP Ⅰ (IgG) and dsDNA. Conclusion anti-β2-GP Ⅰ antibody has high specificity and positive predict value, also is associated with SLE's thrombosis. It has some values in the clinical application.
