Objective To study the effects of Shen-fuinjection onthe activity of β-adrenoreceptor in SD rats with cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Method The exprimerit was done at emergency medical lab of Shanghai Changzheng hospital.Cardiac arrest was induced thngh asphyxiation(succinylcholine)and ice-cold 0.5 mol/L KCI in rats,and resuscitation began at five minutes after cardiac orrest.In this experiment,seventy-two male SD rats were randomizly divided into 9 groups:control group(sham group),routine treatment(O.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h) groups.and Shen-fu treatment(O.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h),and each group had 8 rats.Rats of Shen-fh treatment groups were injected with shen-fu(20 mL/kg,20 mL/h)during CPR.3H-prazosln Wag used to determine the activity of β-adrenoreceptor in myocyte. The data of the statistic analysiswere presentedin the for mofmeaj14-standard(4-5)deviation.One-way ANOVA was used for muhig Toup comparison,and t-test for comprarison between two groups.Results[3-adrenoreeeptor reached peak at0.5 h after CPR(247.81±8.91)fmol/mg,reached the lowest level at 4 h(104.17 4-13.87)fmol/mg,and returned to the normal level at 6 h(178.53±10.42)fmol/mg.In the eady period.-adrenorecepter activity in control group[O.5 h:(259.91-4-18.09)finol/mJ was similar to that in Shenfu treatment groups(P>O.05).In the late phase,adrenoreeeptor activity in the Shen-fu treatment groups[2 h:(173.04±18.77)fmol/mg,4 h:(148.72±13.88)finoL/mg]was significantly hi#er than that in the control groups(P<0.05).Conclusiom After CPR, ceplor activity firstly rises and then declines,and Shenfu injection Call significantly increase adrenoreceptor activity of mrs in the later period after CPR.

Objective To evaluate the significance of color Doppler EUS in the pancreatic pseudo-cysts drainage. Methods EUS - guided cystoenterostomy was performed in 3 patients. A needle and drainage tube was inserted in a one - step procedure into the cyst through the accessory channel of echoendoscope under EUS. The nasal plastic drainage tube was released immediately after insertion. Results When gastric ulcer and bleeding or the bulge of stomach were not found endoscopically in all patients . The needle with its stylet inserted through the gastric wall into the cyst at the site with minimal distance between them . The mean size of the pseudocysts was approximately 8 cm located at pancreatic tail ,body or the junction of them. In 3 cases but one, the blood flow signal around the cyst was not found . No significant echo of laminated structure between gastric and cyst wall was found . After aspiration or installation of naso-cystic drainage catheter, abdominal pain remitted at 2 days, 2 days and 3 days; the sonography demonstrated that cyst size decreased began from 3rd day ,and the cyst obliterated at 14 and 30 days after drainage. The only complication was found in one patient with gastric mucosal ooze, which recovered after noradrenaline spray . Infection or perforation never occurred. No recurrence of pseudocysts observed at a mean follow - up period of 3. 6 months (range 2-7 months). Conclusions The EUS-guided drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts in one-step is a rather simple and practical procedure with minimal risk of hemorrhage and infection.

Objective Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) guided fine-needle aspiration (FNA) of pancreatic lesions is being increasingly used. The aim of the study was to evaluate its safety, accuracy, and clinical utility in the diagnosis of pancareatic diseases. Methods EUS-guided FNA was performed in 21 patients (13 men and 8 women) with pancreatic lesions (16 head/neck, 5 body/ tail) detected by CT scanining, unltrasonography or clinically suspected diagnosis.Three patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer underwent EUS-guided celiac plexus neurolysis(CPN) for pain-relieving. Results The lesions detected by CT scanning (19 cases) and ultrasonography(16 cases) were all confirmed by EUS. Adequate specimens were obtained by EUS-guided FNA in 18 of 21 lesions and final diagnosis in these subjects was pathologically confirmed. EUS-guided FNA had a sensitivity of 85.0%, specificity of 100.0% and accuracy of 85.7% for diagnosis of pancreatic lesions. The final diagnosis was not obtained in three patients due to inadequate specimens. Three patients with pancreatic carcinoma were decreased in pain scores after EUS-CPN. Two cases with complication of mild pancreatitis or post-FNA fever were found. Conclusions EUS-guided FNA of the pancreas was a safe and effective modality for diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic lesions.

Objective To detect specific cell killing effect of radiation combined with horseradish peroxidase (HRP)/indole-3-acetic (IAA) suicide gene therapy controlled by a novel radio-inducible and cancer-specific chimeric gene promoter in lung cancer. Methods We constructed a plasmid expressing HRP enzyme under the control of chimeric human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) promoter carrying 6 CArG elements, a plasmid expressing HRP enzyme under the control of hTERT promoter carrying single CArG element, and two control plasmids, which named pE6-hTERT-HRP, phTERT-HRP, pControl-HRP, and pControl-luc, respectively. After radiation, the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis induction effect of each type of plasmid in lung cancer cells (A549, SPC-A1) and normal lung cells (hEL) was detected by cell counting and Annexin V-FITC staining. The change of radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells with plasmid system was also detected by clonogenic assays. Results After a single dose radiation of 6 Gy,the average proliferation inhibition rates of pE6-hTERT-HRP, phTERT-HRP, pControl-HRP, and pControl-luc systems were 72. 92% ,40.60% , 51.00% and 25.19% (F= 67.31 , P< 0.01) in A549 cells ,64.63%,30.02%,48.23% and 23.16% (F=64.94, P< 0.01) in SPC-A1 cells, and 20.81%,18.05%, 44.20% and 18.32% (F=52. 19,P<0.01) in normal hEL cells, respectively. The average early apoptosis rates of these four plasmid systems were 36. 63%, 22. 30%, 24. 33% and 12. 53% (F =50. 99,P <0. 01) in A549 cells, 33.73%, 17. 37%, 22. 43% and 11.20% (F = 20. 76, P < 0. 01) in SPC-A1 cells, and 13.53 %, 12. 5%, 21.93% and 12. 16% (F = 15. 08, P < 0. 01) in normal hEL cells,respectively. The sensitizing enhancement ratios of the four plasmid systems were 3.45, 2. 29, 3.05 and 1.21 in A549 cells, while 2. 68, 2. 15, 3.05 and 1.21 in SPC-A1 cells, respectively. Conclusions The new suicide gene system controlled by chimeric promoter may provide a novel therapeutic modality for lung cancer.

Objective To explore the clinical value of total hemihepatic vascular exclusion (THHVE) in right hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Methods One hundred and twenty-three consecutive patients who underwent right hepatectomy for HCC between February 2006 and December 2008 were studied retrospectively. THHVE was used in 58 patients (group A) and Pringle maneuver in 65 patients (group B). The patient's demographics,surgical procedure and outcome were collected and compared between the two groups.ResultsThe tumor size was significantly bigger in group A than group B (7.69±3.70 cm vs.6.08±4.07 cm,P＜0.05).The vascular occlusion time in group A was significantly longer than groupB (28.55±8.67 min vs.19.85±6.71 min,P＜0.05). However, intraoperative blood loss in group A was significantly less than group B (304.31±270.36 ml vs.542.62±876.84 ml,P＜0.05),and the elevation of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) on day- 1,-3 and- 7 after operation in group A were significantly lower than group B (P＜0.05).The postoperative complication rate in group A was lower than group B (18.97％ vs.38.46％,P＜0.05).ConclusionTHHVE was a safe and efficacious technique in right hepatectomy for HCC.It significantly decreased blood loss,alleviated liver injury and reduced postoperative morbidity and mortality.
