OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of gelodipine on plasma ghrelin level and endothelial function of blood vessels in patients with essential hypertension.METHODS:A total of 77 patients with essential hypertension were randomly divided into trial group(n=45)and control group (n=32).Both groups were given low sodium diet,proper exercise, weight reduction and oral diuretics,while the trial group was assigned to receive felodipine 5mg q.d additionally.The course of treatment was 8wk.Before and after the treatment,plasma levels of ghrelin and nitrous oxide(NO),endothelin(ET-1),and brachial artery flow-mediated dilatation(FMD)function were observed.RESULTS:Plasma levels of ghrelin and NO,and FMD were significantly increased (P0.05).CONCLUSION:Felodipine can increase plasma Ghrelin level meanwhile improving endothelial function of blood vessels in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To compare the effects of dexmedetomidine (DEX) and remifentainil (REM) combined with sevoflurane (SEV) for general anesthesia on recovery quality in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC).Methods Sixty patients (ASA grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ) who underwent LC were divided into DEX combined with SEV for general anesthesia group (DEX group) and REM combined with SEV for general anesthesia group (REM group) by table of random digit,with 30 cases each.Time of first inspiration,eye opening,extubation,orientation recovery and passage of gas by anus were recorded.Vital sign,numeric rating score (NRS),Ramsay score and untoward reaction were recorded.Degree of satisfaction of patients,post-anesthesia care unit (PACU) nurse and surgeon were evaluated.Results The time of extubation and passage of gas by anus in DEX group were significantly shorter than those in REM group [(12.0 ±3.9) min vs.(15.9 ±5.6) min,t =-3.130,P =0.003; (18.5 ±3.4) h vs.(23.6 ±5.8) h,t =-5.455,P =0.000].However,the time of eye opening and orientation recovery in DEX group were significantly longer than those in REM group [(15.5 ± 4.2) min vs.(11.7 ± 2.9) min,t =4.078,P =0.000;(19.5 ± 4.5) min vs.(14.8 ± 3.6) min,t =4.315,P =0.000].During the first 2 h after operation,Ramsay score in DEX group was significantly higher than that in REM group (P ＜ 0.05),but NRS in DEX group was significanty lower than that in REM group (P ＜ 0.05),the patients with additional analgesics was minor than REM group (2 cases vs.9 cases,P ＜ 0.05).The percentages of patients suffering shivering and postoperative nausea and vomiting in DEX group were significantly lower than those in REM group [3.3％(1/30) vs.33.3％(10/30),6.7％(2/30) vs.30.0％ (9/30),P ＜0.05].Degree of satisfaction of patients and PACU nurse in DEX group were higher than those in REM group [89.0(72.0-100.0) scores vs.80.0(70.0-95.0) scores,Z =-4.066,P =0.000; 92.0 (80.0-99.0) scores vs.90.0 (80.0-95.0) scores,Z =-2.906,P =0.004],but degree of satisfaction of surgeon in REM group was higher than that in DEX group [(91.8 ± 5.8) scores vs.(81.7 ±6.1) scores,t =-6.568,P =0.004].Conclusion Compared with REM combined with SEV for general anesthesia,DEX combined with SEV for general anesthesia has a faster recovery for respiration and passing of gas by anus,lower NRS and incidence rates of shivering,nausea and vomiting,improves the quality of recovery for patients undergoing LC.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of sentinel lymph nodes (SLN) in predicting pelvic lymph node status for early cervical squamous cell carcinoma,and approach the clinical significance of SLN detection for guiding radical abdominal trachelectomy (RAT).Outcomes of follow up and fertility were also observed.Methods A total of 31 patients with stage Ⅰ a2-Ⅰ bl squamous cell carcinoma planned to be given RAT and pelvic lymphadenectomy were enrolled.99mTe-labeled phytate was injected before surgery.Intraoperatively,SLN were identified,excised,and submitted to fast frozen section.Systematic bilateral pelvic lymphadenectomy was performed,and then RAT was performed in patients with negative SLN.All nodes were sent for routine pathological examination and immunostained with anti-cytokeratin antibody to detect micrometastases.Results SLN were detected in all patients (100％,31/31).A total of 109 SLN were identified with a mean number of 3.5 per patient.Of these,SLN of 2 patients were positive on frozen sections and proved to be metastasis by final pathologic examination and quitted the RAT.No missed micrometastasis was found using immunohistochemical staining in SLN and other lymph nodes using histologically node-negative cases.No false negative cases was found and the negative value was 100％ (31/31).The sensitivity,accuracy,and false negative rates were 100％,100％,and 0,respectively.Perioperative complications occured in 5 patients including 2 cases of bladder injury and 3 cases of uterine artery injury.No relapses occurred during follow-up.Five of 19 patients with procreative desire conceived pregnancies (4 spontaneous abortion and 1 premature birth) after surgery.Conclusions The identification of SLN using 99mTc-labeled phytate could predict the pelvic lymph node status in early stage cervical cancer.Under the guidance of SLN detection,RAT is a feasible operative modality with well prognosis and low complications for young patients who desire to preserve reproductive function.

Objective To investigate transmission routes of healthcare-associated infection(HAI)caused by methi-cillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA),and make effective measures for preventing and controlling the oc-currence and epidemic of HAI caused by multidrug-resistance bacteria.Methods From February 24 to March 29, 2012,12 MRSA-infected patients were performed epidemiological study,these patients underwent bronchoscopy be-cause of tracheal stenosis,strains were identified by amplifying the sequences of 16S rRNA ,femA and mecA with real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR),homology analysis of strains were performed by Spa geno-typing.Results All 12 MRSA-infected patients were susceptible to multidrug-resistance bacterial infection,5 cases of MRSA infection occurred during this hospitalization.Detection of specimens from health care workers and envi-ronment were all negative;Spa gene of all 12 MRSA isolates was type t 030 ,which was the main epidemic strain in Asia;Spa gene of Staphylococcus aureus isolated from nurses’noses was type t1425 .Conclusion The assumption of MRSA spread among health care workers aren’t supported by the epidemiological investigation results,genotypes of 12 MRSA isolates are identical,but the result of gene typing can’t be as the evidence of homology of infection ;patients at high risk for MRSA infection should be screened as early as possible,early contact isolation should be performed,so as to prevent and control the occurrence of HAI.

Objective To investigate the effect of ambroxol pretreatment on the inflammatory response and lipid peroxidation during one-lung ventilation (OLV) .Methods Forty-five ASA I or II patients aged 37-64 yr weighing 53-65 kg undergoing thoracotomy under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 15 each): group A two-lung ventilation (TLV); group B OLV and group C ambroxol 1 mg/kg + OLV. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl, propofol and atracurium and maintained with propofol infusion and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and atracurium. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT8-10 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm during TLV, VT 6-7 ml/kg, RR 16 bpm during OLV, I: E 1:2, FiO2 100% ). In group C ambroxol 1 mg/kg in normal saline ( NS) 100 ml was infused at 25 min before OLV (infusion rate 4 ml/min) , while in group A and B equal volume of NS was infused instead of ambroxol. Blood samples were obtained from radial artery before induction of anesthesia and OLV (T0.1 ) and at 0.5, 1, 2 h of OLV (T2-4 ) and 1, 2 h of TLV (T5,6 ) and at 24 h after operation (T7) in group B and C for determination of serum SOD activity and TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations and WBC and neutrophil granulocyte counts. The same indexes were detected in group A at the corresponding time points.Results Serum SOD activity was significantly lower and serum TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations and WBC and neutrophil granulocyte counts were significantly higher in group B than in group A. Serum SOD activity was significantly higher and serum TNF-a, IL-6 and IL-8 concentrations and WBC and neutrophil granulocyte counts were significantly lower in group C than in group B. Conclusion Pretreatment with ambroxol 1 mg/kg can inhibit inflammatory response and lipid peroxidation during OLV.

To develop the awareness of in student nurses during their clinical nursing practice for the prevention of legal disputes and protection of patients’ safety.

Objective To investigate the application value of multi-slice spiral CT on the congenital malformation of coronary sinus. Methods MSCT finding of 98 patients with coronary sinus malformation confirmed by surgery were retrospectively analyzed,and the cases were divided into four categories based on the Mantini theory and comparison was made between the diagnosis from ultrasound and CT.A 2 × 2 table for Chi-square test was also used for statistics analysis.Results Among 98 patients,there were 72 patients with persistent left superior vena cava reflowed to right atria through coronary sinus,with 48 patients diagnosed by ultrasound and 72 patients by MSCT; there were 13 patients with anomalous pulmonary venous connection to coronary sinus,with 12 patients diagnosed by ultrasound and 13 patients by MSCT diagnosis; there were 10 patients with unroofed coronary sinus syndrome,with 6 patients diagnosed by ultrasound and 8 patients by MSCT,there were 2 patients with coronary sinus atresia,all diagnosed by MSCT; there were 1 patient with coronary sinus anomaly reflow to left arita.The significant difference between 2 modalities (x2 =22.7,P＜0.01) shows that CT is superior to ultrasound.Conclusion MSCT is much more better than ultrasound in the diagnosis of malformation of coronary sinus and it can provide reliable diagnosis prior to surgery or interventional therapy.

OBJECTIVETo study the population genetic variation, genetic diversity and phylogenesis of Anopheles sinensis in China.

METHODSAnopheles sinensis samples collected from Shandong, Anhui, Jiangsu, Guizhou, and Yunnan Provinces and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region with different geographical conditions between 2010 and 2012 were analyzed by mitochondrial DNA cytochrome oxidase subunit I (mtDNA-COI) gene amplification and sequencing. Bioedit 7.0 and DnaSP 5.0 software was used to compare the gene sequences and analyze the population genetic structure, respectively. Arlequin 3.1 was used to calculate the genetic distance and parameters of population differentiation. The relationship between the geographic and genetic distances was analyzed using IBD Web Service. PHYLIP 3.6 was used to construct the phylogenetic tree.

RESULTSPCR amplification and sequencing was performed successfully for 6 Anopheles sinensis populations containing 123 female mosquitoes. The length of mtDNA-COI gene fragment was 841 bp with an average A+T content of 71.2% and G+C content of 28.8%. High nucleotide diversity and genetic differentiation were observed among the Anopheles sinensis populations based on mtDNA-COI gene. Analysis of the molecular variance revealed a greater variation between populations than that within populations with isolation by distance between the populations. The Anopheles sinensis populations appeared to have undergone expansion, but the Yunnan population constituted an isolated branch in the phylogenetic tree.

CONCLUSIONmtDNA-COI can serve as the molecular marker to analyze population genetic variation and phylogenesis of Anopheles sinensis. The Yunnan population shows a phylogenetic difference from the other populations analyzed in this study.
