Objective To investigate the effect of α-lipoic acid on cerebral injury induced by cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in dogs. Methods Twelve adult healthy mengrel dogs of both sexes weighing 13.5-17.5 kg were randomly divided into control group (group C) and α-lopoic acid group (group L) (n = 6each). In group L α-lipoic acid 50 mg/kg was injected iv immediately before CPB. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 2.5% pentobarbital 25 mg/kg, intubated and mechanically ventilated. PaCO2 was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg. Femoral artery and vein were cannulated and Swan-Ganz catheter was inserted into pulmonary artery for MAP, CVP and CO monitoring and blood sampling. Blood samples were obtained immediately before aortic cross-clamping (T0, baseline), at 30 and 60 min after aortic cross-clamping (T1,2) and 30 and 60 min after aortic unclamping (T3,4) for measurement of plasma concentrations of TNF-α, S100β protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Results In group C CPB significantly increased plasma TNF-α, S100β protein and NSE concentrations as compared with the baseline values at T0. Pretreatment with α-lipoic acid significantly attenuated CPB-induced increase in plasma TNF-α, S100β protein and NSE concentrations in group L. Plasma S100β protein and NSE levels were positively correlated with plasma TNF-α level. Conclusion Pretreatment with α-lipoic acid is effective in attenuating CPB-induced inflammatory response and cerebral injury.

Objective To evaluate the value of endoscopy in etiological diagnosis and treatment of post - cholecystectomy syndrome. Methods Three hundred and twenty - six patients with post -cholecystectomy syndrome received ERCP. To reveral the etiology of post - cholecystectomy syndrome. For those with choledocholithiasis and those with papillary inflammatory stricture EST or EPBD were given those with papillary diverticulum and SOD EPBD were given, those with papillary tumor and hepatobiliary carcinoma EMBE were given and for those with bililary stricture in middle part of bile duct, purulent cholangitis, chloedocholithiasis(stones not excluded in one time)and bile leakage ENBD were used. Results ERCP was succeeded in 315 cases(96. 6%), 24 cases had no abnormal endoscopic findings view. 191 cases of choledocholithiasis 186 were totally get rid of stone after one to three times of opretion EST or EPBD was successfully given to 39 cases of 39 had papillary inflammatory stricture. Nine had papillary diverticulum which oppressed the papillary orifice, 7 had SOD, all of them were dealt with EPBD. Sixteen had stricture in the middle portion of bile duct, 11 of which were treated with ENBD. In 6 cases of papillary tumor and 5 hepatobiliary carcinoma patients jaundice improved significantly after received EMBE. Residual stones in cholecystic duct were seen in 4 cases. In 2 cases of bile leakage after cholecystectomy, ENBD was successfully carried out to avoid another operation. Complications were noted in 15 cases(4. 8%) of them. pancreatitis 11 cases, cholangitis 3 eases and hemorrhage of upper gastrointestinal tract one ease. Conclusion ERCP can find out the defenite cause of post - cholecystectomy syndrome at early stage and take corresponding endoscopic therapeutic measures. The complications of ERCP can be avoided by skillful operator.

Objective To improve the successful rate of endoscopic biliary drainage. Methods The experience of biliary drainage with duodenoscope for biliary obstruction from January 1998 to September 2001 was reviewed retrospectively. Endoscopic naso -biliary drainage (ENBD) , endoscopic retrograde biliary drainage (ERBD) and endoscopic metal biliary endoprothesis (EMBE) were performed in 242 cases, 43 cases and 35 cases respectively. Results Of 320 cases with biliary obstruction, 305 received successful drainage under endoscopy and 15 cases failed. Ten cases with ENBD failed but got successful drainage after modulating the site of naso-biliary tube or reinserting another tube. For 3 cases failed with ERBD, we chose plastic stents with appropriate length for 2 cases to achieve fluent drainage and percutaneous transhepatic biliary drainage (PTBD) was managed for another case after endoscopic management failed. For 2 cases with EMBE failed, one stent couldn' t exceed the tumor stricture site and one was obstructed by tumor implantion at one month after EMBE. Either a metal stent or a plastic stent was replaced through previous prothesis in these two failed cases. Conclusions The effect of endoscopic biliary drainage for biliary obstruction is definite. Mostly the drainage failure can be avoided as early as possible by analyzing the causes and taking some corresponding measures to correct it.

OBJECTIVE To explore the genotype and distribution of humam papilloma viruses(HPV) among rural women with cervical lesion.METHODS The cervical exfoliated cell specimens were collected and divided into two groups,the experimental group with 340 rural women finally diagnosed as cervical intra-epithelial neoplasm(CIN) or higher grade pathological changes in healthy examination,and the health control group with 230 rural women randomly selected from the crowd taken healthy examination.DNA was extracted and the genotypes of HPV-DNA were monitored by traditional nested PCR,flow-through hybridization and gene chip technique.RESULTS One-hundred and ninety-five cases(57.4%) in experimental group and the 58 cases(25.2%) in control group were confirmed to be HPV-DNA positive.There was significant difference between the two groups(P

Objective To explore the relationship between S100β, neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction(POCD) in the elderly. Methods Cognitive function was evaluated using a battery of nine neuro-psychological tests before operation,at one week after operation. The old people were divided into POCD group(n=121) and normal group(n=439). Their S100β and NSE levels in all group were detected by enzyme linked immunesorbent assay(ELISA) before anesthesia,at the end of surgery and 6h,24h after opera-tion. Meanwhile relativity between S100βand NSE levels and factors of postoperative cognitive dysfunction were an-alyzed. Results S100βand NSE levels increased significantly at the end of surgery in both groups, but the levels in normal group were significantly lower than those in POCD group at the same stage(P<0.05). S100β and NSE levels were obviously relative to POCD. Conclusion S100β and NSE levels have close correlation with POCD in the elderly.
