Objective:To investigate the protective effect of preconditioning with Puerarin on myocardial ischemia reperfusion in adult SD rats and its possible mechanism.Methods:Forty Male SD rats were divided randomly into five groups(n=8).The myocardial injury of rats ware produced by the ligation of left coronary artery for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion.LVSP,LVEDP,and ?dp/dtmax were recorded at ischemia 30 min,reperfusion 60,90 and 120 min.The myocardial infarct size and the level of NO and NOS were observed.Results:In group I/R,the systolic and diastolic function were significantly reduced;myocardial infarct size was increased;NO and NOS were significantly lowered compared with those in group SH(P

Objective To discuss the effect of blood glucose monitoring during pregnancy and pregnancy outcome in patients with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods One hundred and fifty-three GDM patients from July 2007 to July 2008 were analysed.The cases were divided into satisfactory group (74 cases)and unsatisfactory group (79 cases) based on the level of bleod glucose and compared the pregnancy outcome between the two groups. Results The incidences of pre-eclampsia, polyhydramnios, macrosomia, neonatal hypoglycemia, hyperbilirubinemia of satisfactory group were lower than those of unsatisfactory group(5.41% vs 17.72%,4.05% vs 20.25%, 12.16% vs 31.65% , 5.41% vs 20.25%,8.11% vs 30.38%). The difference is statistically significant (P <0.05). The incidence of premature rupture of membranes, premature birth, postpartum hemorrhage, fetal distress of satisfactory group were lower than those of unsatisfactory group, but there was no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusion GDM can cause great harm to maternal and child health, and satisfactory blood glucose control during pregnancy may reduce maternal and child complications.

Objective To explore the fibrotic stroma characteristics of orthotopic liver cancer in rat and the relationship with MR delayed contrast enhancement.Methods 4 Wistar rats with orthotopic liver cancer underwent conventional triphasal and longer-de-layed contrast-enhancement MR scanning.12 HCC specimens obtained from the four Wistar rats were sliced and stained with HE, picric-sirius red,Verhoeff Van-Gieson elastic fiber,Gordon-Sweets reticular fiber and anti-α-SMA immunohistochemical staining.The relationshp between intratumoral fibrotic stroma and MR delayed phases of the 1 2 tumors were analyzed.Results Collagen fiber was expressed mainly in tumor fibrous septum.Elastic fiber distributed in tumor fibrous septum and the artery wall.Reticular fiber dis-tributed in fibrous septum of the regenerative nodules,portal area and tumor psuedocapsule.Integrated optical density (IOD)value of collagen fiber,elastic fiber and reticular fiber analyzed by Image-pro Plus6.0 were 0.102±0.020,0.063±0.018 and 0.109±0.032, respectively.As a result,the amount of collagen and elastic fibers were statistically different (P<0.01),and so were reticular fibers and elastic fibers (P<0.01).And there was a positive correlation between collagen fiber and MR delayed contrast enhancement (P<0.05).Conclusion MR delayed contrast enhancement of hepatic cancer in rat is closely associated with the collagen fiber,thus this fiber in liver cancer can be evaluated noninvasively by MRI.

Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein in basal-like breast carcinoma (BLBC).Methods The expression of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein in 66 cases of BLBC,70 cases of non-BLBC and 66 cases of normal adjacent breast tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry.Their relationship with the clinical pathological factors was analyzed.Results The positive rate of FoxM1 protein in BLBC,non-BLBC and normal adjacent breast tissue was 77.3％ (51/66),60.0％(42/70) and 13.6％(9/66),Cep55 protein was 74.2％(49/66),57.1％(40/70) and 16.7％(11/66),respectively.BLBC and non-BLBC tissue were higher than normal adjacent breast tissue,and BLBC tissue was higher than non-BLBC,there was significant difference (P ＜0.05).In BLBC tissue,the positive expression of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein correlated with lymph nodes metastasis and TNM staging (P ＜0.05),while did not correlate with age,menopause,tumor size (P ＞ 0.05).There was direct correlation between the positive expression of FoxM1 and Cep55 protein (r =0.259,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion FoxM1 and Cep55 protein may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and development of BLBC,and both of them have the synergistic effect.

Objective To produce the experimental pig model of obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) through raising pigs in the lower pressure container in order to study the effect of low pressure on morphology of upper respiratory soft tissue in pig.Methods The pigs were living in a container of low pressure for 6 months to make up the pig models of OSAHS.When the symptoms like OSAHS appearing and the pharyngeal respiratory pressure changing like the characteristics of OSAHS,the pigs were scanned by CT and compared with controls.Results The pharyngeal rear wall and soft palate in model pigs were thickened(0.94 cm?0.16 cm and 1.06 cm?0.23 cm respectively),while in control groups were(0.60 cm?0.11 cm and 0.59 cm?0.13 cm respectively).The cross-sectional area of upper airway in anterior,middle and rear parts were(1.49?0.12) cm2,(1.37?0.32) cm2 and(1.00?0.21) cm2 respectively,the narrowest part was in rear area,and in control groups were(1.30?0.14) cm2,(1.57?0.32) cm2 and(2.48?0.42) cm2 respectively.Conclusion The lower pressure condition can be used to produce animal experimental model of OSAHS,the low pressure is the important factor to cause OSAHS.

Objective To investigate the significance of modified gold nanocages ( GNCs ) in photothermal therapy and radiosensitivity enhancement for murine mammary carcinoma 4T1 cells.Methods A molecule probe, CD44-PEG-GNCs, was constructed on the basis of GNCs.Inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry ( ICP-MS) and transmission electron microscopy ( TEM) were used to analyze Au uptake by 4T1 cells.The cell counting kit-8( CCK-8) assay was used to determine the impact of the probe on the viability of 4T1 cells.The CCK-8 assay and the Hoechst/PI double staining were used to evaluate the photothermal killing effects of near infrared laser (NIR).The colony forming assay and the Hoechst/PI double staining were used to measure the viability of 4T1 cells after irradiation with 6 MV of X-ray.Results ICP-MS and TEM showed that 4T1 cells had an uptake of a large number of GNCs, in which the number of CD44-PEG-GNCs taken up by 4T1 was 3-4 times larger than that of PEG-GNCs.The cell toxicity assay revealed that in a certain range of concentration, GNCs showed little effect on the viability of 4T1 cells, which was reduced to 81.2%in 48 hours.The CCK-8 assay, the Hoechst/PI double staining, and the colony forming assay showed that after NIR irradiation and radiotherapy, large-scale apoptosis was induced in CD44-PEG-GNCs-contained tumor cells by photothermal therapy combined with radiotherapy, which had substantially better outcomes than other groups.Conclusions The GNC-based molecular probe actively targets 4T1 cells with little cytotoxicity, indicating that it enhances the sensitivity of tumor towards photothermal therapy and radiotherapy.

Objective To develop a method for determination of the plasma protein binding rate of bisoprolol in human plasma by high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) combined with hollow fiber-based liquid-phase microextraction ( HF-LPME) . Methods Method of liquid phase microextraction was optimized. The concentration of bisoprolol in the reconstitute solution was analyzed by HPLC. The mobile phase consisted of water-methanol-acetonitrile-0. 1% phosphoric acid (50:34:6:10). The excitation wavelength was 232 nm and emission wavelength was 300 nm. Through the linear regression equations, the total and free concentrations were obtained, and then the protein binding rate was calculated. Results At low, middle, and high concentration, the protein binding rate of bisoprolol was 31. 2%, 32. 0% and 31. 8%, respectively. Conclusion The proposed method is proven to be simple, fast and reproducible, and is feasible for the determination of plasma protein binding rate of bisoprolol. Bisoprolol moderately binds with plasma protein independent of concentration.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative and postoperative inspiratory muscle training(IMT) on cardiopulmonary function and quality of life for patients undergoing esophagectomy.Methods Sixty patients who had received esophagectomy for esophageal cancer were randomly divided into an observation group (n =30) and a control group (n =30).All of the subjects were given conventional treatment (including preoperative health education,abdominal respiration training,pursed lip respiration training and expectoration training).On this basis,the patients in the treatment group were advised to do deep respiratory training using a breathing training device,four times a day,lasting 20 minutes each time,for 10 days (including five days before and five days after the operation).Respiratory muscle strength,blood gases,six minute walk test (6MWT) distances and Borg dyspnea scores were measured on admission,on the day prior to the operation and on the 1st,3rd and 5th day after the operation.And also on admission and on the 5th day after the operation their pulmonary function was tested,and their psychological status and quality of life were evaluated using the hospital anxiety and depression scale (HADS) and the Nottingham health profile (NHP) respectively.Results There was no significant difference in any index between the two groups on admission(P ＞ 0.05).Everyone's respiratory function and exercise capacity were sharply decreased,and Borg dyspnea score increased on the first postoperative day,and then gradually and significantly improved in both groups compared to that on admission(P ＜ 0.05).On the fifth postoperative day,the maximal inspiratory pressure of 67.41 ± 14.53 mmH2O,maximal ventilatory volume of 79.83 ± 5.37 L,6MWT of 427.19 ± 46.52 m,Borg score of 1.45 ± 0.48 points,postoperative anxiety score of 8.14 ±2.80 points,NHP total (128.91 ± 25.12 points),NHP pain score (24.66 ± 10.12 points),NHP sleeping score (25.18 ± 9.75 points),and NHP physical activity scores (22.81 ± 10.72 points) were significantly more improved in the observation group than those in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Preoperative and postoperative inspiratory muscle training can significantly reduce postoperative anxiety symptoms,improve postoperative cardiopulmonary function and the quality of life during perioperative period.Such therapy deserves further clinical research.

Objective To investigate the results and related key points in operative treatment of talar body fractures. Methods From April 2002 to July 2008, 44 patients with talar body fractures underwent the operation. There were 3 females and 41 males. The mean age of the patients was 31.7 years. The fractures occurred on the left side in 26 patients and on the right side in 18 patients. According to Sneppen classification, 24 type Ⅱ, 20 type V. Eleave cases were open fractures, according to the Gustilo-Anderson classification, there were 3 cases in type Ⅰ , 7 in type Ⅱ, 1 type in Ⅲ A. The mean interval between injury and surgical treatment for open fractures and close fractures was 5.3 hours and 8.9 days. The mechanism of injury was a fall from the height in 18 patients, a traffic accident in 13 patients, a crush injury in 8 patients, a sprain injury in 4 patients and a cut injury in 1 patient. Anteromedial approach was used for 15 close fractures, anterolateral approach for 3 and combined anteromedial-anterolateral approach for 15. K-wires fixation were utilized for 3 fractures, screws and temporary K-wires fixation for 5 cases, bioabsorbable screws for 2fractures, cannulated screws for 30 fractures and cannulated screws and threaded cancellous screws for 4cases. Results Thirty-five patients were followed up 21 to 89 months (average, 44.5 months). Necrosis of incision was found in 4 cases, wound infection occurred in 1 case. All fractures had achieved bone union;the average healing time was 22 weeks. Functional results were assessed according to AOFAS score, the average score was 77.3, There were 11 patients in excellent results, 13 in good, 10 in fair and 1 in poor. The overall excellent and good rate was 68.6%. Avascular necrosis occurred in 5 cases. Traumatic arthritis occurred in 19 cases. Arthrodesis was needed in 5 cases. Conclusion The timing and approach of surgery is determined by the condition of the talar fractures and soft tissue. Anatomical reduction, preservation of the blood supply and early active pain-free mobilization are key points in the treatment of the talar body fractures.

Objective To explore a new method for one-stage repair of the intestinal leakage based on the principle of magnetic compression anastomosis. Methods Twenty-four dogs were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 12) and control group (n = 12) according to random number table. The model of upper and multiple intestinal leakages was established by making transverse incisions of 1 cm in length on the jejunum wall about 50 cm and 100 cm away from the Treitz ligament. Forty-eight hours later, two NdFeB magnetic rings with the magnetic flux of 2500 G were put into the intestine from the leak sites. The leak sites were pressed between the two rings. The ventages in the control group were sutured. The condition of the dogs was observed after the repair of the leakage. The excreting time was recorded, and the leakage pressures of the anastomotic stoma were detected.The positions of the magnetic rings in the experimental group were detected by X ray. Tissues of the anastomotic stoma were processed by hematoxylin eosin and Masson staining. All data were analyzed using the two-sample t test. Results Severe abdominal infection occurred 48 hours after the establishment of the model. All the intestinal leakages in the experimental group were successfully repaired and the dogs survived for a long time. The magnetic rings were excreted six or seven days after the repair. Eight dogs of the control group survived. The leakage pressure of the anastomotic stoma seven days after the repair was (134 ±23)mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0. 133 kPa) in the experimental group and (91 ± 18)mm Hg in the control group, respectively, with a significant difference between the two groups (t = 3.225, P ＜ 0.05). The leakage pressure of the anastomotic stoma 14 days after the repair was (281 ±7)mm Hg in the experimental group and (271 ±21) mm Hg in the control group, respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups (t =0. 988, P ＞ 0.05). Histological observation showed that after the magnetic compression anastomosis, the intestinal muscle and mucosa recovered well, inflammatory reaction was slight and less collagen fiber and scar was formed. Conclusions Application of magnetic ring with the magnetic flux of 2500 G in one-stage repair of the intestinal leakage in the state of severe abdominal infection is safe and reliable.
