AIM:To determine the relationship between ischemia,hypoxia and the production of vascular endothelial growth factor in rat myocardium and its basic mechanism. METHODS:(1) 28 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: group A,normal control;group B,1 day's acute myocardial infarction;group C,3 day's acute myocardial infarction;group D, 7 day's acute myocardial infarction. (2) Rat cardiac myocytes cultured were primarily divided into some groups, hypoxia incubated 24 hours; PMA groups, hypoxia incubated 24 hours with PKC activator (PMA), A 0 ng/mL; B 10 ng/mL; C 100 ng/mL; D 1 000 ng/mL; Chelerythrine groups, hypoxia incubated 24 hours with PKC inhibitor (chelerythrine), A 0 nmol/L; B 10 nmol/L. (3) By computer scanned and quantitated, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) protein was detected with immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS: The longer time of ischemia and hypoxia was, the higher the VEGF production. The relationship was found between the time of ischemia or hypoxia and the production of VEGF. The production of VEGF protein was further promoted by PMA with different concentration, decreased by chelerythrine.CONCLUSION:Ischemia or hypoxia strongly stimulated the production of VEGF in myocardium, which played an important role in autoprotecting of ischemic or hypoxic myocardium. Hypoxia-induced PKC activation is one kind of basic mechanisms in this course.

AIM To explore the effect of hypoxia on apoptosis in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and the role of ecdysterone(EDS)in inhibition of apoptosis. METHODS ① Culture and identification of HUVECs;② Hypoxic model(0,12,24,48 h) in HUVECs was established. While HUVECs was incubated 24 h with EDS(100 mg?L -1 ) under hypoxic condition. Apoptosis in HUVECs was detected by TUNEL;③ HUVECs received EDS 100 mg?L -1 in normal and hypoxic condition. After 24 h, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was detected with immunohistochemical technique. RESULTS The apoptosis percentages are different under different hypoxic condition. The longer hypotic the time was, the higher the apoptosis percentage was. EDS reduced apoptosis of HUVECs. EDS could enhance expression of VEGF protein in cardiac myocytes of rat in normal and hypoxic condition. CONCLUSION The role of hypoxia in HUVECs apoptosis is more significant along with prolonging of hypoxic time. VEGF play an important role in protective effect of EDS on endothelial cell apoptosis.

Objective To explore the effect of hypoxia on the apoptosis of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs) and the role of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in inhibition of apoptosis. Methods ①Culture and identification of HUVECs.②Establishment of hypoxic model(0,12,24,48 h)in HUVECs.③Incubation of HUVECs with VEGF(0 ng, 100 ng) under hypoxic condition for 24 h. ④Detection of apoptosis of HUVECs with TUNEL method.

We describe two cases in which a forceps imprintdeveloped in the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL optic whileinserting these IOLs into the cartridge with straightclamping forceps. In case 1 ,the AcrySof ReSTOR IOL wasexplanted and observed under scanning electronmicroscopy (SEM). The SEM showed that the stepdesign of ReSTOR Multifocal IOL was well maintained. Incase 2, visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and wavefrontmeasurements were performed and no specific changeswere found. Strong evidence does not exist that suggeststhe on-axis forceps imprint can significantly compromisevisual acuity.

Objective To compare adductor canal block(ACB)with topical anesthesia for postoperative analgesia in the patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.Methods Sixty patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ⅠorⅡ,scheduled for elective arthroscopic meniscectomy,were divided into 2 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:ACB group and topical anesthesia group(TA group).In group ACB,0.2% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected into the adductor canal under the guidance of ultrasound at 30 min before operation to perform ACB.In group TA,0.25% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected into the articular cavity at 5 min before the end of operation.The development of effective analgesia (VAS scores ≤4)and weakened quadriceps femoris muscle strength(muscle strength 0-2 grade,post-operative muscle strength was assessed by using manual muscle testing),related complications(local anesthetic intoxication,bleeding at the puncture site and hematoma) and occurrence of postoperative nausea,vomiting and delayed emergence were recorded.Results Compared with group TA,the rate of effective analgesia within 12 h after surgery was significantly increased (P<0.01),and no significant change was found in the incidence of weakened quadriceps femoris muscle strength,nausea and vomiting in group ACB(P>0.05).Local anesthetic intoxication,bleeding at the puncture site,hematoma or delayed emergence was not observed in the two groups.Conclusion ACB produces better efficacy for postoperative analgesia than topical anesthesia in the patients undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of lateral femoral approach to continuous sciatic nerve block for patient-controlled analgesia after foot and ankle surgery.Methods One hundred American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 18-60 yr,weighing 50-100 kg,with body height of 145-190 cm,scheduled for elective foot and ankle surgery,were divided into 2 groups (u =50 each) using a random number table:patient-controlled nerve block analgesia (PCNA) group and patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group.In group PCNA,the lateral femoral approach to sciatic nerve block was performed under the guidance of ultrasound and a neurostimulator,0.2% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected after successful location,the catheter was inserted,and 0.2% ropivacaine 10 ml was injected again.In group PCIA,0.2% ropivacaine 30 ml was injected after successful location of the sciatic nerve.General anesthesia was performed using laryngeal mask airway in both groups.In group PCNA,PCNA was performed with 0.2% ropivacaine (diluted to 200 ml in normal saline) at the end of surgery,and the PCNA pump was set up with a 0.5 ml bolus dose,a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 5 ml/h.In group PCIA,PCIA was performed with sufentanil 100 μg,tramadol 500 mg and tropisetron 10 mg (diluted to 200 ml in normal saline) at the end of surgery,and the PCIA pump was set up with a 0.5 ml bolus dose,a 15-min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 2 ml/h.The visual analog scale score was maintained≤ 3,and postoperative analgesia lasted until postopera-tive 72 h.When visual analog scale scores ≥ 4,tramadol 100 mg was intramuscularly injected as rescue analgesic.The requirement for rescue analgesia and development of adverse effects such as nausea and vomiting,insomnia,puncture site infection and bleeding were recorded within 72 h after surgery.Results The requirement for rescue analgesia and incidence of nausea and vomiting were significantly lower in group PCNA than in group PCIA (P< 0.05).Conclusion The lateral femoral approach to continuous sciatic nerve block can be safely and effectively used for patient-controlled analgesia after foot and ankle surgery.

Objective To assess the effectiveness of absorbable screws and metallic devices for treating tibial plateau fractures.Methods Fifty-seven cases of tibial plateau fractures were treated with internal fixation using absorbable screws(Group A),cannulated screws(Group B)and condylar buttress plates(Group C)in our hospital.According to Schatzker classification,there were 15 cases with typeⅠfractures,21 with typeⅡ,nine with typeⅢand 12 with typeⅣ,who were followed up for 6-51 months. Statistical analysis was performed to compare bone union and functional restoration of the knee between three groups.Results Bone union was achieved in all cases.Based on Merchant scale for knee func- tion,excellence rate was 84%(16/19)for Group A,92%(11/12)for Group B and 85%(22/26) for Group C,with no significant statistical difference.Conclusion Absorbable screws is as effective as metallic devices for treating tibial plateau fractures and has advantages of minimal invasion,few complica- tions and avoiding secondary operation.
