Objective To analyze the changes of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) in peripheral blood and serum nitric oxide in tumor-bearing mice, and to explore their correlation and functions in tumor progression. Methods Orthotopic transplantation tumor model of hepatocarcinoma in mice was established. At the 7th, 14th, 21st day after tumor implantation, the proportion of peripheral blood MDSCs was tested by flow cytometry, and serum nitric oxide was detected using the method of nitric acid reductase. Results The proportion of peripheral blood MDSCs at the 7th, 14th, 21st day after tumor implantation in tumor-bearing mice was significantly higher than that in normal mice [(8.65±1.01)%, (14.20±2.52)%, (27.51± 2.98) % vs. (2.51 ±0.44) %, P<0.05]. The level of nitric oxide at the 7th, 14th, 21st day after tumor implantation in tumor-bearing mice was significantly lower than that in normal mice [(72.02 ±5.05) μmol/L, (94.70 ±3.34) μmol/L, (78.90 ± 8.19) μmol/L vs. (57.03 ±16.94) μmol/L, P<0.05]. The level of serum nitric oxide was positively associated with the proportion of MDSCs (r=0.689, P<0.01). Conclusion The proportion of peripheral blood MDSCs and the level of serum nitric oxide in mice are increased with the tumor progression, and there is a positive correlation between them.

Objective To discuss the effect of music therapy on anxiety control of patients with maxillofacial cancer.Methods 140 cases in head and neck surgery department were divided into the test group and the control group with 70 cases in each group from March 2004 to November 2005.The test group received music intervention based on routine nursing.The degree of anxiety was evaluated on the first day of hospitalization(T1),the previous day before the operation(T2),the first day after operation(T3)and the third day after operation after listening to music.The control group only received routine nursing.The condition of anxiety at different time points was evaluated and compared.Results The scores of anxiety(SAS)in the two groups were statistically different(P＜0.05).The intra-group comparison of anxiety degree in the test group(T1-T2,T1-T3,T1-T4)had statistical difference(P＜0.05).The intra-group comparison of anxiety degree in the control group(T1-T2,T1-T3)had no statistical difference(P＞0.05).While evident difference existed in T1-T4 in the control group.P＜0.05.Conclusion Music intervention facilitated the rehabilitation of anxiety condition in cancer patients.

Objective To study the influence factors on the enflurane uptake in child with congenital heart disease(CHD).Methods Sixty children aging less than 5 years with CHD were randomly divided into four groups: in group A 15 children with atrial septal defect(ASD)or ventricular septal defect (VSD) inhaled enflurane before and after CPB;in groups B 15 children with ASD or VSD did only after CPB,in group C 15 children with tetralogy of fallot (F4) did before and after CPB;in group D 15 children with F4 did only after CPB.The concentration of enflurane (F I) was kept at 0.5%.Following inhalation of enflurane,the end tidal alveolar concentration (F E) was measured in 30 min and the time of uptake equilibrium (Tue,F E/F I=1) was recordcd.Results In group C,Tue before CPB was shorter than that before CPB and after CPB in group A,that in group B and group D (P

Objective It has been shown that aprotinin and tranexamic acid are equally effective in protecting platelet and reducing postoperative bleeding. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of aprotinin and tranexamic acid on blood coagulation. Methods Thirty patients undergoing elective valve replacement were randomly divided into two groups : (1) aprotinin group (AP, P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the economics of penehyclidine hydrochloride and atropine in the treatment of acute organophosphorus poisoning (AOPP).METHODS:The information of 118 AOPP patients were collected and divided into group A (59 cases) and B (59 cases) according to therapy plan.There were 22 cases of mild poisoning,20 cases of moderate poisoning and 17 cases of severe poisoning in group A.There were 21 mild cases,21 moderate cases and 17 severe cases in group B.Based on routine treatment,group A was given Penehyclidine hydrochloride injection intramuscularly with initial dose of 1 mg (mild),2 mg (moderate) and 4 mg (severe).Group B was given Atropine sulfate injection intravenously,with initial dose of 2 mg (mild),5 mg (moderate) and 10 mg (severe).Both received maintenance treatment according to patients condition and stopped taking medicine after symptoms disappeared.Clinical efficacies,the time of acetylcholinesterase recovery and ADR were observed in 2 groups.The economics of therapy plans for mild,moderate and severe poisoning were evaluated in 2 groups by cost-effectiveness analysis.RESULTS:There was no statistical significance in total response rate of mild poisoning or the time of acetylcholinesterase recovery between 2 groups (P＞0.05).Total effective rates of moderate and severe poisoning in group A were significantly higher than group B,and the time of acetylcholinesterase recovery was significantly shorter than group B,with statistical significance (P＜0.05).There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR in mild,moderate and severe poisoning patients (P＞0.05).Cost-effectiveness ratio of penehyclidine hydrochloride was similar to that of atropine in mild poisoning patients;that of penehyclidine hydrochloride were significantly lower than that of atropine in moderate and severe patients.It was inline with the results of sensitivity analysis.CONCLUSIONS:Based on routine treatment,penehyclidine hydrochloride is similar to atropine in therapeutic efficacy of AOPP and the time of acetylcholinesterase recovery.For moderate and severe AOPP patients,penehyclidine hydrochloride is significantly better than atropine in improving therapeutic efficacy and the time of acetylcholinesterase recovery.The safety of 2 drugs are satisfactory;penehyclidine hydrochloride possesses cost-effectiveness advantage.

Objective:To assess the clinical and microbiologic effects of ultrasonic scaling with simultanous irrigation with chlorhexidine(CHX), conventional ultrasonic scaling or subgingival irrigation. Methods: 20 teeth in 7 patients with periodontitis were equally divided into test and control group. Patients in the test group were treated by irrigation with CHX during ultrasonic scaling(Master400),those in the control with irrigating after scaling(MiNi ). Clinical assessments of bleeding on probing (BOP),probing depth (PD) were made just before and 7 and 14 days after treatment. The subgingival microbiologic examination was performed before and 0,7 and 14 days after treatment. Result: Significant reductions in PD and BOP were observed in both groups 7 and 14 days after treatment(P
