Objective To prevent the occurrence of postoperative delirium after endoscopic surgery in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods A total of 370 BPH patients receiving endoscopic surgery in our hospital were involved in this study. The clinical parameters including age, other systemic diseases, operation method, operation time and postoperative pain were investigated as predictive risk factors. Then the data were dealt by χ~2 test, single factor analysis or multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results Postoperative delirium occurred in 19 cases (5. 1%). Univariate analysis demonstrated that many factors were significantly correlated with the postoperative delirium in elderly patients, such as age (χ~2 = 7. 37, P<0. 05), other systemic diseases (χ~2=10.26, P<0.05), operation time (χ~2 = 19. 87, P<0.05) and postoperative pain (χ~2= 4.99, P<0. 05). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that age (OR = 5. 38, P< 0.05), other systemic diseases (OR = 4. 97, P<0. 05) and operation time (OR = 6. 53, P<0. 05) were important factors for postoperative delirium. Conclusions Paying more attention to the advanced age, giving sufficient preoperative preparation and reducing operation time may help to prevent postoperative delirium.

Objective:To determine the immunological effects of a new type adjuvant CTA 1-DD/IgG.Methods:Intranasal im-munization of BALB/c mice with OVA in combination with adjuvant CTA 1-DD or CTA1-DD/IgG.Blood samples were subjected to OVA-specific IgG Abs detection and IgG subclass profiles assessment using ELISA.Splenic plasma cells secreting anti-OVA Abs were detected by ELISPOT.Results:CTA1-DD/IgG showed stronger activity in inducing OVA-specific IgG Abs and splenic Abs-secreting cells compared with CTA1-DD.The enhancement of IgG1,IgG2a and IgG2b Abs were observed,and the ratio IgG2a/IgG1 were >1 in both groups.Conclusion: CTA1-DD/IgG can exert enhanced adjuvant effects compared with CTA 1-DD.Mixed IgG subclasses are induced,indicating a more balanced Th1/Th2 response.

Objective:To investigate the effect of miRNA-126 on proliferation, apoptosis and migration of thyroid cancer SW579 cells, and further to explore its mechanism.Methods:Thyroid cancer SW579 cells were cultured in vitro, and the expression of miRNA-126 in normal thyroid Nthy-ori3-1 cells and SW579 cells was detected by qPCR. The cells were divided into blank control group (without any treatment) , experimental group (transfected with miRNA-126 expression plasmid) and negative control group (transfected with empty plasmid vector) . SW579 cells with overexpression of miRNA-126 were constructed by transfection of plasmids. CCK-8 test was used to detect cell proliferation; Transwell cell test was used to detect cell migration and invasion; Flow cytometry was employed to detect apoptosis and changes in reactive oxygen levels; Western blot was used to detect Notch-1/Akt pathway related protein expression.Results:The expression level of miRNA-126 in SW579 cells was 0.25±0.07, and the difference was statistically significant compared with that in Nthy-ori3-1 cells (P<0.001) . The cell survival rates of blank control group, experimental group and negative control group were (105.70 ± 7.61) , (98.60 ± 5.42) and (62.70 ± 3.82) ; The apoptosis rates were (9.14 ± 0.83) , (12.28 ± 1.34) and (36.39 ± 3.21) (all P < 0.05) ; The cell migration rates were (34.51 ± 2.45) , (33.29 ± 3.17) and (11.22 ± 1.23) (all P < 0.05) ; The levels of ROS were (1.02 ± 0.07) , (1.08 ± 0.11) and (6.54 ± 0.74) (all P < 0.05) .Conclusion:Overexpression of miR-NA-126 can inhibit Notch-1/Akt pathway by up-regulating intracellular reactive oxygen species, inhibit the proliferation and migration of SW579 cells, and induce apoptosis in SW579 cells, which provides a certain basis for the study of miRNA-126 in thyroid cancer.
