Objective To investigate the effects of droperidol on the Na+ currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons.Methods The rat dorsal root ganglion neurons were enzymatically dissociated. Whole-cell patch-clamp technique was applied to record Na+ current. Results 3-300?mol?L-1 Droperidol inhibited the sodium currents by 14.12%-78.46% (P0.05, n =7).Conclusions Droperidol inhibits Na+ currents in rat dorsal root ganglion neurons in a concentration- and voltage-dependent manner. The results suggest that the concentration of epidural droperidol clinically applied during epidural patient control analgesia may enhance the analgesic effects.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of two surgical procedures including retropubic space pathway and obturator foramen pathway in treatment of the old women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods Intravaginal Slingplasty (IVS) procedure by retropubic space pathway was performed in 52 cases with simple SUI from June 2003 to June 2005. And the modified Transobturator Vaginal Tape Inside-Out (TVT-O) procedure was carried out in 112 cases with simple SUI from October 2005 to October 2008, using self-tailed polypropylene mesh and helical needles. The comparative retrospective study was performed between these two groups. Results The cure rate was 80.8% (42/52) and the improvement rate was 13.5% (7/52) in IVS group. And the corresponding data were 84.8% (95/112) and 11.6% (13/112) in modified TVT-O group. The 3 (5.8%) cases failed in IVS procedure and 4 (3.6%) cases failed in modified TVT-O procedure at 1 month's follow-up. All of the 7 patients received the 'Tong's hammock procedure' and no cases failed at 6 and 12 month's follow-up. One case of vaginal erosion was found in each group although good effect of continence was observed. Meshes were removed in these two patients and then the 'Tong's hommock procedure' was performed which turned out to be good outcome. Bladder injuries were found in 3 cases when route cystoscopy was performed. No significant difference in efficacy was found between these two groups(P＞0. 05). In modified TVT-O group, operative duration, blood loss and medical cost were significantly reduced as compared with IVS group (P＜0. 01). Conclusions Both of the two surgical procedures of modified TVT-O versus IVS are simple, safe and mini-invasive procedures with high efficacy. However, the modified TVT-O procedure is more easy to be adopted by patients due to short operative time and lower medical cost.

Objective Metabolic syndrome ( MS), a disorder involving multiple metabolic abnormalities such obesity,hypertension, diabetes or abnormal glucose tolerance and dyslipidemia, has been observed in many patients receiving coronary artery bypass procedures. In this study we try to examine the perioperative effects of metabolic syndrome on the off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCABG). Methods A prospective study was conducted in 1060 consecutive OPCABG patients who were admited to Beijing Anzhen Hospital from July 2009 to March 2010. The patients were grouped as MS group and non-MS group according to the diagnostic criteria for Chinese metabolic syndrome. The outcomes such as mortality, atrial fibrillation,stroke, staying in ICU for more than three days, use of IABP, ECMO, dialysis, multiple organ dysfunction score ( MOOS) ,postoperative score for cardiac surgery (PSCS), PaO2/FiO2 , heart rate x central venous pressure/mean artery pressure(pressure-adjusted heart rate, PAHR) ,renal and liver function, platelets, and the dosage of vasoactive agents were analyzed and compared between the two groups by x2 test or t test. Results Three hundred and eighty-nine cases were diagnosed with MS among 1060 cases with OPCABG. In the MS group, 17 cases stayed in ICU for more than 3 days, 2 cases died, 76 had atrial fibrillation, 3 had stroke, 18 cases were treated with intra-aortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP). In the non-MS group, 47 cases stayed in ICU for more than 3 days, 12 cases died, 148 had atrial fibrillation, 3 had stroke, 48 cases were treated withIABP, 3 cases received ECMO and 4 cases received dialysis. No significant difference between MS group and non-MS group was identified in the aspects of mortality, atrial fibrillation, stroke, duration of more than three days in ICU, the use of IABP,ECMO, dialysis after OPACBG based on the x2 test(P＞0.05). However, on the operative days, the MODS and PSCS in MS group were significantly higher than that in non-MS group (P ＜ 0.05). MODS 2. 57 ± 1. 62 in MS group vs. 2. 15 ± 1.65 in non-MS group, PSCS 4.27 ±2.15 in MS group vs. 3.92 ±2.29 in non-MS group. PaO2/FiO2 in MS group was significantly lower than that in non-MS group (249.23 ± 110.99 vs. 283. 33 ± 114. 35), P ＜ 0. 01. PAHR in MS group was significantly higher than that in non-MS group (9.98 ±3.54 vs. 9.23 ±3. 88), P ＜0.05. On the first postoperative days, the MODS in MS group was also significantly higher than that in non-MS group (3.05 ±1.64 vs. 2.82 ± 1.72), P＜0.05. PaO2/FiO2 in MS group was significantly lower than that in non-MS group (277.11 ±122.99 vs.318.47 ±143.84), P＜0.05. Conclusion MS was not a predictor for death, atrial fibrillation, stroke, duration of more than three days in 1CU, the use of IABP, ECMO, dialysis after OPACBG. However, MS had a temporary adverse effect on the respiratory and circulatory systems on the operative day and the first postoperative day after OPCABG.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of modified total pelvic reconstruction for pelvic organ prolapse in elderly women.Methods 105 patients required operation for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse were enrolled in this study.Patients were divided into experimental group (n =68,treated with the modified total pelvic reconstruction) and control group (n=37,receiving prolift procedure).Objective indexes including bleeding volume,operative time,residual urine volume,postoperative complications,medical expenses,hospitalization time were recorded.Clinical efficacy and follow-up results were recorded and compared between the two groups at 6 months after operation.Results Bleeding volume and hospitalization costs were lower in experimental group than in control group (both P＜0.05),while the operative time,residual urine volume,time out of bed,anal exhaust time,the maximum body temperature,mean postoperative hospital stay showed no significant differences between the two groups (all P＞0.05).Vaginal perforation was observed in 7 cases,with 4 cases in experimental group and 3 cases in control group.No serious complications such as bladder and rectum perforation were observed.According to pelvic organ prolapse quantitation (POP-Q) score,64 cases (94.1％) were cured and 4 cases (5.9％) were invalid in experimental group,while 36 cases (97.3％) were cured and 1 case (2.7％) was invalid in control group.The noninferiority test showed that clinical efficacy in experimental group was non-inferior to that in control group (u=2.252,P＜0.05).Conclusions Modified total pelvic reconstruction is an effective and safe minimally invasive surgery,which is similar to prolift surgical operation,but it is relatively inexpensive,which is easier to be accepted by Chinese patients,with a great perspective in clinical application.

AIM: To investigate the urinary protein (UP) excretion in rats suffering from renal ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) and effect of nitric oxide on it. METHODS: SD rats were used to establish the renal I-R model. Sodium nitroprusside (SNP), N ?-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) and aminoguanidine (AG) were used to determine the effect of nitric oxide on UP excretion under renal I-R. Quantitative analysis of UP was made by chromatometry. UP species were separated by SDS-PAGE. RESULTS: Renal I-R caused significant increase in UP ( P

Objective:This study aims to ensure the private hospitals development strategy in the background of new healthcare reform and put forward some scientific suggestions to help promote their sustainable development. Methods:The SWOT analysis method was adopted to analyze the private hospitals’ internal strength, weakness, exter-nal opportunity and threats. Results: The results showed a clear property right, advanced management system and other outstanding advantages in the private hospitals. Opportunities like the improved policy environment and people’s medical demand expansion are also very prominent. Meanwhile, the private hospitals development also faces some disadvantages and challenges such as illegal operation, disorder in the market competition, vague orientation, etc. Conclusions:It suggests the strengthening of the personnel and hospital culture construction, adoption of the differen-tiation strategy, improvement of the diagnosis and treatment ability, etc.

AIM: To explore the influence of different concentration midazolam on the macroscopic voltage gated potassium currents and to discuss the relationship between potassium currents and inhibitory effect of clinical relevant concentration midazolam on sympathetic nervous system. METHODS: Superior sympathetic ganglion neurons were dissociated enzymatically from 7 to10 day old rat. Experiments were performed about 5 h after plating at room temperature (20- 24 ℃ ). Appropriate solution was chosen to separate the K + current from the other transmembrane currents. 1 ?mol?L -1 TTX was applied to the extracelluar solution to block the Na + current. Midazolam was also resolved in extracelluar solution to get various concentration ( 0.1 , 0.3 ,3,10,50,100 ?mol?L -1 ). Currents were recorded with the patch clamp technique in whole cell configuration using glass electrodes with a tip resistance of 2- 4 M . Potassium currents were evoked by test pulse from -100 mV to +30 mV with holding potential -80mV. Data were analyzed using Clampfit 6.0 and Oringih 5.0 software. Whole cell current records were corrected for leakage and capacitance by using the P/5 protocol. RESULTS: Midazolam dose dependently inhibited the whole cell potassium currents. Clinical relevant concentration midazolam ( 0.3 ?mol?L -1 ) only reduced the peak currents by 3.89 %(P= 0.88 ). The concentration required to produce 50% current inhibition(IC 50 ) was 76.065 ?mol?L -1 . CONCLUSION: Midazolam inhibits the whole cell potassium current significantly and dose dependently, but clinical relevant concentration midazolam has minor effect on the potassium currents, indicating that the inhibitory effect of midazolam on potassium current is not related to the suppression of activity of sympathetic system.

Objective To compare the changes of some blood indices after treatment of intertro-chanteric fractures with conventional and minimally invasive dynamic hip scres (DHS) internal fixation so as to understand the influence of minimally invasive technique on physiology of the organism. Meth-ods The elderly patients with intertrochanteric fractures in our department from July 2004 to May 2006 were divided randomly into two groups, ie, conventional DHS internal fixation group(Conventional group, 52 patients)and the minimally invasive DHS internal fixation group(Minimal invasion group, 54 patients). A comparison was done on data including white blood cells (WBC), hemoglobin (Hb), e-rythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR). C reactive protein (CRP) and creatine kinase (CK) as well as re-cessive blood loss. Results The indices including transfusion, blood loss, recessive blood loss, ESR and CK in minimal invasion group showed less changes compared with conventional group. With statistical difference. But WBC and CRP showed no statisfical difference between both groups. Conclusion Minimally invasive DHS internal fvtation carl reduce operative trauma during treatment of intertrochanterie fractures in the elderly.

AIM: To observe the kinetic alteration of nitric oxide formation in the lungs in the development of pulmonary fibrosis in the rat. METHODS: The contents of hydroxyproline in the lungs, NO-2/NO-3 (nitrite/nitrate) in out-flowing and in-flowing pulmonary blood (OPB, IPB) were assayed on the day 7, 14, 21, 30 and 70 after intratracheal administration of bleomycin　A5 . The content of NO-2/NO-3 in supernatants of culture of the alveolar macrophages (AMs) and the amount of iNOS positive stain cells in lung tissue section were also observed in the rat on 14th day after-bleomycin A5 administration. RESULTS: The content of lung hydroxyproline had no change on the 7th day, increased on the 14th day (P＜0.05), increased significantly on the 21th day, 30th day and 70th day post-bleomycin A5 compared with control rats. On the 7th day and 14th day, the content of NO-2/NO-3 increased in OPB and decreased in IPB (P＜0.01). On the 21th day, the content of NO-2/NO-3 abated in OPB (P＞0.05) but still decreased in IPB (P＜0.01). On the 30th day and the 70th day, the NO-2/NO-3 level recovered both in OPB and IPB. AMs from rats on the 14th day post-bleomycin A5 showed significant elevation (P＜0.01) in NO-2/NO-3 level. The amount of iNOS positive stain cells increased in rats on the 14th day post-bleomycin A5. CONCLUSION: The amount of NO in the lungs was high in the initial phase of fibroproliferative reaction induced by bleomycin A5 ,and these might be associated with the enhanced ability of AMs to release NO and the increased amount of iNOS.

Objective To review the outcome of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using left internal thoracic artery (LITA) grafts in these patients aged more than 70 years old.Methods 1471 patients aged more than 70 years old[mean (73.3 ± 3.9) years] from July 2010 through August 2012,who underwent CABG in Anzhen hospital,form the cohort of this study.Among them,1395 cases underwent off-pump CABG,while 76 cases underwent on-pump CABG which includes onpump beating heart CABG in 12 cases.The average number of the grafts is 3.12 ±0.68.All of the patients were divided into two groups on base of the graft:Group A:only saphenous vein graft was used in 564 cases; Group B:The left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery was used in 907 cases,which also include total arterial grafting,facilitated by the use of the radial artery,right gastroepiploic artery was operated in 42 cases,beside these artery grafts,saphenous vein graft was used to anastomosis with other vessels.Results Operative mortality was 2.12％ in group A and 2.09％ in group B.There was no significance between the 2 groups.The volume of blood drainage was larger in group B than that in group A.At the same time,there was no significance in the incidence rate of second thoractomy,malignant arrhythmia,stroke,poor wound healing,and usage of IABP between the 2 groups.Conclusion It did not increase the mortality and morbidity of serious complications using the left internal thoracic artery to the left anterior descending artery in those elderly patients aged more than 70 years old during the CABG operation.With consideration of the obvious advantages in the long term patency,LITA was proposed to be used in CABG even in those age ＞ 70 patients.
