Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2010;30(9):1028-1029
Objective To compare the consumption of the drugs for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) in patients with different blood groups. Methods One hundred female ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 30-50 yr, body mass index < 30 kg/m2 , scheduled for elective total hysterectomy or myomectomy, were enrolled in this study. The patients were divided into 4 groups according to the blood group: group A ( n= 25), group B ( n = 30), group AB ( n = 11 ) and group O ( n = 34). Patients received iv injection of flurbiprofen 30 min before the end of surgery and sufentanil at the end of surgery. PCIA with sufentanil 1.2 μg/ml ( bolus dose 2.0 ml, background infusion 0.5 ml/h, lockout interval 5 min) was performed when the VAS score ≤4. The loading dose and consumption on 1 st and 2nd day after operation for sufentanil were recorded. The adverse reactions were observed.Results The loading dose and consumption on 1st day after operation for sufentanil were the highest in group A and B, the second in group AB, and the lowest in group O among the 4 groups. Conclusion The consumption of the drugs for PCIA is different in patients with different blood groups.
4.The roles and mechanisms of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in cerebral ischemia
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2012;20(4):310-314
Hypoxia-induciole factor-1 (HIF-1) is an important transcription factor.It participates in the body's response to the hypoxic environment mainly through its active subunit HIF-1α.During cerebral ischemia and hypoxia,the expression of HIF-1α is upregulated and may activate the expressions of multiple downstream target genes involving glycolysis,vascular growth,cell survival and apoptosis.It has an important significance for the improvement of energy metabolism and the establishment of microcirculation after cerebral ischemia.HIF-1α can not only promote the neuronal survival,but also mediate delayed neuronal death.A variety of preconditioning and postconditioning methods may regulate the survival and death of neuronal cells by activating HIF-1α.
5.Epidemic situation of oversea imported schistosomiasis in China and thinking about its prevention and control
Chinese Journal of Schistosomiasis Control 2014;(2):111-114
The imported schistosomiasis cases in the Chinese literature and reports from the infectious disease monitoring in-formation system from 1979 to 2013 were collected and compiled. Totally 365 cases were reported to be infected with outside schis-tosomiasis, including 239 cases of schistosomiasis haematobia (74.0%) and 71 cases of schistosomiasis mansoni (22.0%), and 42 foreigners (11.5%) and 323 Chinese (88.5%). The infection areas involved 15 countries and regions in Africa. Totally 74.92%of pa-tients worked in the construction or geological prospecting in the wild field. According to the analysis of these cases, we found that the management system of prevention and control of imported schistosomiasis cases was not perfect including the high missing re-port rate, high misdiagnosis rate, and no standard diagnostic criteria. We suggest that all the levels of CDC or health administrative authorities should adopt the following relevant control measures to strengthen the imported schistosomiasis prevention and control in order to reduce the damage to the public health and the risk of the spread of African schistosomiasis in China:1. to establish and perfect the imported schistosomiasis monitoring and control system in China;2. to integrate the dynamic information platform of la-bor export and establish the comprehensive prevention and control management system of infectious diseases;3. to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of oversea imported schistosomiasis; 4. to strengthen the research on the transmission risk of imported schistosomiasis in the territory of China.

7.Establishing a rabbit model of peripheral partial growth plate closure by immediate filling after partial growth plate resection
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2008;12(15):2993-2996
BACKGROUND: Animal models of peripheral partial epiphyseal plate closure are commonly used in related trials.OBJECTIVE: To modify the original animal models of distal femoral partial epiphyseal plate closure.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A self-controlled trial was performed at the Experimental Animal Center of General Hospital of Chinese PLA from March to October 2007.MATERIALS: Twenty healthy New Zealand rabbits of 4-6 weeks old weighing 1.0-1.5 kg were selected.METHODS: A straight incision about 2 cm was made in lateral knee of 20 rabbits. The subcutaneous tissues and knee capsule were cut open to expose distal femoral condyle. The condylar plate line was clear. Two holes were drilled in the fight lateral condyle, about 3.0-4.0 mm deep, and partial normal epiphyseal plate (about 33%-44% of the total growth plate) was removed. An incision deep to periosteum was created in the left side and regarded as self-control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Femoral length, valgus angle of the distal femur, and femoral deformity were detected by X-ray photograph, and gross observation. Bone bridge formation of bilateral femora was observed by histological examination.RESULTS: One rabbit died of diarrhea 31 days after surgery, and 19 were included in final analysis. ①Radiographs showed that the mean length of left femur (control side) was significantly longer but valgus angle was significantly smaller than the right side (experimental side) 4 months after surgery (P < 0.01). The left distal femur averagely grew for 2.27 cm,accounted for 57.6% of the overall femoral growth, and the right side averagely grew for 0.45 cm, accounted for 21.4% of the overall femoral growth.②Four months after surgery, femoral appearance of the control side was normal, with smooth and complete condylar and facies articularis patellae. While, the experimental side femur was significantly shortened, and severe vaigus deformity was observed in the distal femur. ③Five weeks after surgery, layer cells of the epiphyseal plate arranged regularly in the control side. Bone trabecula with many fibers was found in bone defect cavity of the experimental side, and the cell layer of the remnant epiphyseal plate was decreased. The epiphyseal plate was closed in the control side,and bone trabecula of the experimental side was thickened 10 weeks postoperatively.CONCLUSION: This modeling method is simple, efficient, and easy to manipulate; in addition, the bone bridge area is controllable. The models can meet the study demands for peripheral partial epiphyseal plate closure, and are significant for filling material selection during treatment.

Fudan University Journal of Medical Sciences 2010;37(1):100-102
Objective To study the current situation of diagnosis and treatment of rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy through 4-cases report. Methods We made a clinical study of 4 cases of rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy admitted to our hospital between 1995 and 2005. Results Three patients had been undergone artificial abortion before they were admitted to our hospital. All the patients were asymptomatic. Ultrasonography was made in 3 cases. Two cases were diagnosed as rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy. Three patients were cured with surgery. Conclusions Rudimentary uterine horn pregnancy is rare and with atypical clinical manifestation in the first trimester. Although diagnosis before surgery is difficult, ultrasonography and MRI make a great role. Surgery is the most important therapeutic method.
