Objective To investigate the changes of stress response on inhalation-intravenous general anesthesia during pericystectomy for Liver hydatid cyst. Methods Thirty ASA I-II patients with liver hydatidosis for pericystectomy were studied. The blood from right jugular vein were collected for measurement of serum cortisol (Cor) concentrations and glucose (BG) levels, and MAP, HR and BIS were observed and recorded at different point-times: pre-intubation for 1 min, post-intubation for 3 min, pre-incision for 1 min, post-incision for 3 min, post-incision for 10 min, post-surgical exploration 10 min. The data of pre-intubation and pre-incision served as controls. Results The levels of Cor concentration of post-incision for 10 min were decreased than those of pre-intubation and pre-incision (P<0.05); MAP of post-incision for 10 min and post-surgical exploration for 10 min were increased than those of pre-intubation and pre-incision (P < 0.01); For HR, the data of post-surgical exploration 10 min was much quicker compared with pre-incision (P < 0.01), which is slower than that of pre-intubation(P<0.01). Conclusion Inhalation-intravenous general anesthesia may inhibit the stress response during intubation,incision and surgical exploration for liver hydatidosis pericystectomy. Hemodynamic changes during incision may reflect the trend of stress response in advance.

BACKGROUND:The reasons for spinal imbalance include spinal deformity, spinal degenerative disease osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. We believe that the power factor (back muscle) plays a key role in spinal sagittal imbalance. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the reasons for spinal sagittal imbalance by observing clinical manifestations and therapeutic outcomes in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:A total of 41 patients with osteoporotic compression fractures combined with spinal sagittal imbalance were retrospectively analyzed from January 2012 to May 2013. Al patients were subjected to percutaneous bal oon vertebroplasty under local anesthesia. Before treatment, they received bone density, standing ful-spine lateral X-ray, CT and MR imaging with injured vertebrae as the center. Using standing ful-spine radiographs, the height of anterior border of the injured vertebrae, Cobb angle of kyphosis and improved angle, wedging angle of the injured vertebrae and improved angle were measured. The patients underwent weight loading test and walking test. Preoperative and postoperative data were compared. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients affected spinal sagittal imbalance symptoms, so the walking distance was significantly shorter than that postoperatively (P<0.05). Moreover, the time of weight loading test was significantly shorter than that postoperatively (P<0.05). In standing ful-spine radiographs, the average difference of Cobb angle was (10.01±0.76)°. The mean difference of vertebral wedging improvement was (4.84±0.40)° (P<0.05). Al patients were fol owed up. Low back pain and sagittal imbalance symptoms were relieved. No severe complications appeared after percutaneous bal oon vertebroplasty. Results indicated that patients with osteoporosis compression fractures can affect the symptoms of spinal sagittal imbalance, which is not only induced by wedging of the injured vertebra. In addition, after percutaneous bal oon vertebroplasty, imbalance symptoms are apparently improved, suggesting that back pain after spinal fracture limits back muscle strength and is an important cause for spinal sagittal imbalance.

Aim To study the effects of prenatal hy-poxia on the risk of fatty liver disease to search the drug targets .Methods Intrauterine hypoxia rats model was established .The bodies and livers of fetal rats of 21 days, and adult offspring rats of 5 months with and without anoxic treatment were all weighed .The liver index was calculated and the concentrations of renin-angiotensin system components in circulation system and livers of offspring rats were measured .Results The weight of the bodies , livers and index of liver weight to body weight ( liver index ) were significantly decreased in the PH group compared with the normal group.These differences disappeared in adulthood . However, the liver index of adult offsprings in the PH group after hypoxia stress for 7 days was significantly increased compared with that of adult offsprings in nor-mal group.There were no significant differences in the concentrations of AngⅠ, AngⅡ and ACE in plasma and livers between the two groups of fetal rats and the two groups of adult offspring rats separately .The con-centrations of AngⅡ in the livers of adult rats in PH group were significantly higher than those in normal group.The concentrations of AngⅠ in livers and the concentrations of AngⅡ in plasma and livers in the group treated with hypoxia stress for 7 days were signif-icantly higher than those without hypoxia stress .The concentrations of ACE in livers and the concentrations of AngⅡ in plasma and livers in PH adult offsprings were significantly higher than those of normal adult off-springs .Conclusion PH can induce the increase of RAS content in the livers of fetus and adult rats , RAS is more likely to be activated after hypoxia stimulation in the following adulthood .PH is a potential mecha-nism that mediates offspring susceptibility of fatty liver .

Objective:To observe the effect of protoscolex on Th subsets and correlative cytokine in mice spleen cells in vitro.Methods:Co-culture spleen cells from BALB/c mice with protoscolices,then IL-4,IFN-γand TGF-βproduction in cell culture supernatants were analyzed by ELISA.The percentage of Th subsets were detected by Flow Cytometry analysis.Results:Secretion levels of IL-4 and TGF-βwere significantly increased in spleen cells at different time point in co-culture system with protoscolices.Ratios of Th2 and Treg cells were also significantly increased in co-culture system at different time points than the control groups.However,there was no statistical significance for ratio of Th1 cells at different time points.Conclusion:The protoscolex can increase the ratios of Th2 cells and Treg cells from spleen cells.Secretion levels of IL-4 and TGF-βwere also increased in spleen cells co-cultured with protosco-lices.The results suggest that these Th cell subsets play a role in the immune escape of the hydatid disease.

Objective To share the experience of heart thransplantation. Methods 3 recipients with terminal myocardiosis were reviewed. The transplantation was performed with inferior and superior vena anastomofic technique. During perioperative period, we selected and maintained the recipients, protected donor-isolated heart, supported circulation,decreased immune reaction and controlled infections. Results All the 3 patients survived. Heart function improved from NYHA class 1V before heart transplant to NYHA class Ⅰ, Ⅱ. The follow-up time was 19 months ,28 months and 49 months respectively. Rejection occurred in two cases due to non-compliance to medication. Conclusions Suitable recipient, proper donor heart procurement and preservation, suitable maintenance of circulation, proper managements of anti-immunitive reaction, prevention of infections are critical for successfal heart transplantation. Medicine-take required may avoid or reduce rejection.

Objective To investigate the significance of aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 (ALDH1)expression in appraising the prognosis of nasopharyngeal squamous carcinoma (NPC).Methods The expression of ALDH1 protein was detected by immunohistochemistry in human specimens obtained from 120 NPC patients without the history of radiotherapy or chemothetapy.Results A relatively high expression of ALDH1 were observed in 40.0 ％ (48/120) patients of NPC,the expression of ALDH1 in the edge of the cancer nests and stroma,particularly spindle cancer cells were strongly positive.The positive expression of ALDH1 was closely associated with patients' nasopharyngeal tumor size (P =0.011),lymphatic metastasis (P =0.005) and clinic stage (P =0.001),but not associated with their gender and age (both P ＞ 0.05).The Kaplan-Merier and Cox regression analysis indicated that ALDH 1 closely correlated with clinical progrosis of the patients.It showed that ALDH1 was an independent risk factor which may affect the prognosis of NPC patients.Conclusion The expression of ALDH1 protein closely correlate with clinic outcome of NPC,suggesting that ALDH1 is a risk factor for clinic progrosis of NPC patients.

Objective:To understand the expression levels of Tim-3,a new proinflammatory factor in the early stages of Echinococcus granulosus infection in mice.Methods: BALB/c mice were infected with E.granulosus.Peritoneal macrophages and spleen cells were collected at 1,5,9 and 13 days post-infection.At different time points ,the levels of Tim-3 in peritoneal macrophages and spleen CD3+lymphocyte subsets were detected by FCM , and the relative expression of TLR 4 mRNA was detected by qRT-PCR.Results:There was no significant difference in the expression levels of Tim-3 of CD3+spleen lymphocyte subsets between E.granulosus group and control group (P>0.05).The expression levels of Tim-3 of spleen macrophages (9,13 days) and peritoneal macrophage (5,9,13 days) were much higher in E.granulosus infected group than those in control group with statistical significance (P<0.05).The numbers of macrophages were no change.Compared with control groups,the relative expression of TLR4 mRNA at 1 day post-infection was statistically higher in E.granulosus infected group ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion:During early stage of E.granulosus infection in mice,the levels of Tim-3 expression are upregulated,while the expression of TLR4 are downregulated,which may inhibit the function of macrophages resulting in host-immunity-defensive-system inhibition and immune tolerance of E.granulosus to host.

Aim Toexaminethecombinedeffectsof 5-ALA and metformin on diabetes mellitus induced by streptozotocin( STZ) in mice, and to discuss the mech-anisminitially.Methods Thediabeticmiceinduced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ were treated with 5-ALA and/or metformin for 30 days. Physical signs, fasting blood glucose ( FBG ) , fasting plasma insulin ( FIns) , plasma leptin ( Lep) , glucose tolerance, and histological changes of liver and pancreas were as-sessed. Insulin resistance was evaluated by the homeo-stasismodelassessment(HOMA).Results There were more significant effects when 5-ALA combined with metformin than only using metformin on lowering FBG, FIns and Lep. And 5-ALA combined with met-formin could improve glucose tolerance and the insulin sensitivity. Microscopic analysis demonstrated that sig-nificant changes in pancreatic islet and characteristic feature of the vacuolization phenotype in liver was ob-served on diabetic mice, and use of 5-ALA could in-hibit shrinking pancreatic islet number and hepatic morphological changes, especially in combination with metformin.Conclusions Asynergisticeffectof5-ALA and metformin is observed. Combined therapy of 5-ALA and metformin can decrease FBG and improve glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and islet ? cells function and morphology.

Objective To investigate the effects of simulated microgravity by rotary cell culture system (RCCS) on expression profiles of miRNA in mouse fibroblasts L929 cell line.Methods L929 cells were cultured in vitro and divided into simulated microgravity (SMG) group and normal gravity (NG) group according to the simple random method.Samples of two groups were collected on 7th day of culture and the total RNAs were extracted,labeled,and hybridized in sequence.Feature Extraction Software was used to collect the array images and get raw data,which were analyzed by Genespring Software.Differentially expressed miRNAs were identified and then validated by qRT-PCR.Target genes of differentially expressed miRNAs were predicted by the databases of Targetscan and microRNAorg,and the intersections of databases were identified as potential regulatory target genes.Gene ontology (GO) and Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes (KEGG) analysis were applied to determine the roles of these target genes.Relevant biological functions and/or signaling pathways of the regulated genes especially related with wound healing process were categorized based on their enrichments.Then integration predictions of the miRNA and mRNA expression profiles had been proposed to refine the functional miRNA-mRNA relationships.The miRNA-mRNA functional network and miRNA-mRNA control network were constructed.Results Four miRNA genes were up-regulated significantly including mmumiR-669j,-122-5p,-30a-3p,-6516-3p,among which mmu-miR-669j was up-regulated at 52.84 folds with the greatest significance (P ＜ 0.05).Seventeen miRNA genes were down-regulated significantly including mmu-miR-21a-3p,-miR-28a-5p,-218-5p,-210-3p,-miR-19a-3p,-miR-31-3p,and-miR-19b-3p,among which mmu-miR-28a-5p was down-regulated at 15.47 folds with the greatest significance (P ＜ 0.05).The qRT-PCR showed a high concordance with the microarray results (P ＜ 0.05).Target gene prediction and functional enrichment analysis suggested that a variety of biological processes and signaling pathways involved in wound repair were significantly enriched (P ＜ 0.05).Function network and regulation network of miRNA-mRNA covered all the differentially expressed miRNAs,which suggested that miR-21 a-3p and predicted target gene Smad3 might play an important role in wound healing under microgravity.Conclusions Simulated microgravity by RCCS can significantly affect the expression of stress-related miRNAs in mouse fibroblasts L929.The miRNA target gene prediction and functional enrichment analysis based on gene chip technology may provide theoretical basis for illustrating the mechanism and management of weightlessness stress injury.
