Fifteen patients with chronic renal failure(CRF)underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC)at carbon dioxide(CO2)pneumoperitoneum pressure of 10-12 mm Hg(Group A,n=9)or 13-15 mm Hg(Group B,n=6).Renal function and urinary volume(UV)of Group A showed no remarkable change following the operation.But in Group B,the levels of blood urine nitrogen(BUN)and serum creatine(Scr)were increased significantly,and creatinine clearance rate(Ccr)and UV were remarkably decreased(P＜0.05).These variants gradually retumed tO the preoperative levels after 1 week.The analysis showed that laparoscopic choleeystectomy at CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure of 10-12 mm Hg in CRF patients might be safe.Higher CO2 pneumoperitoneum pressure could result in reversible renal Email:yuanhuizhong2000@yahoo.com.cnfunction change.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of renal vessel angiography with 256-slice spiral CT in laparoscopic surgery for renals.Methods One hundred and fifty-five cases underwent computed tomograph angiography(CTA) who were all confirmed by operations.According to preoperative renal artery CTA case shown,the initial plan intraoperative renal artery was compared with the situation with the actual surgery.AIl axial images were reconstructed using technique.Results All patients underwent preoperative renal artery CTA operative findings correspond with the actual rate of 100％.CTA stereoscopic images were good at reflecting renal vascular anatomy and ectopic blood vessels line.Conclusion CTA can accurately evaluate out of shape and variation of the renal arteriesvariation.It has important significance of processing of renal arteries intraoperative rapid,dealing with the renal artery accurately and reducing blood loss or damage and other complications.

Objective To explore the changes and clinical significance of plasma redox status in patients with acute myocardial infarction,angina pectoris and people with normal coronary artery.Methods According to the clinical manifestation,electrocardiograms and the myocardium markers,68 acute myocardial infarction patients (group A) were involved.68 angina pectoris patients (group B) and 68 normal coronary artery people (group C) were also chosen according to the coronary artery radiographs.Peripheral venous blood of 3 groups were collected.Plasma glutathione (reduced form GSH and oxidized form GSSG) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (reduced form NADPH and oxidized form NADP+) were detected.The GSH/GSSG and NADPH/NADP+ redox potentials were calculated according to Nernst equation.Results Along with the pathological aggravation of coronary artery (from group C to group A),the levels of GSH [(8.39±1.03)μmol/L,(6.54±0.94) μmol/L,(4.49±0.86) μmol/L,respectively] and GSH/GSSG (14.22±2.14,9.76±1.67,5.76±1.18,respectively) were gradually reduced; the levels of GSSG [(0.59±0.03) μmol/L,(0.67±0.04) μmol/L,(0.78 ± 0.05) μmol/L,respectively] and GSH/GSSG redox potential [(-150.43±3.43) mV,(-141.22±3.12) mV,(-135.21±2.31) mV,respectively] were gradually increased (all P＜ 0.05); the changes of NADPH/NADP+ redox status were similar to GSH/GSSG but milder.Conclusions The imbalance of plasma redox status deviating to oxidation has a relationship with atheromatous plaque formation,plaque rupture and plaque thrombosis in the coronary artery.

Objective: To investigate the neuroprotective effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) combined with low⁃intensity transcranial ultrasound (LITUS) treatment on traumatic brain injury (TBI) . Methods: Seventy⁃two SD rats were randomly divided into four groups , namely , control group , TBI group , MSC injection group , and combined treatment group , with 18 rats in each group. TBI model was established by applying a pneumatic controlled cortical impingement instrument. Within 24 h after surgery , MSC was injected into the injury site by microinjector and microinjector pump using in situ injection. After injection , the injury site was treated with LITUS for 28 consecutive days using an ultrasound stimulator. The modified neurological functioning score ( mNSS) was performed on rats in each group at 1 , 3 , 7 , 14 , 21 and 28 days postoperatively , and then the brains were extracted to detect pathological changes at the injury site and the mRNA and protein expression of brain⁃derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) , growth associated protein⁃43 ( GAP⁃43) , postsynaptic density protein⁃95 ( PSD⁃95 ) and glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP) by HE staining , immunohistochemistry , Western blot and RT⁃PCR. Results: Compared with the control group , the mNSS score increased in the TBI group (P < 0. 05) , the expression of GAP⁃43 and PSD⁃95 decreased , and the expression of GFAP increased ( P < 0. 05 ) ; Compared with the TBI group , the mNSS score of MSC group was lower (P < 0. 05) , the expression of BDNF , GAP⁃43 , PSD⁃95 increased , and the expression of GFAP decreased (P < 0. 05) ; mNSS scores were lower in the combined treatment group than those in the MSC group (P < 0. 05) , the expression of BDNF , GAP⁃43 , PSD⁃95 increased , and the expression of GFAP decreased (P < 0. 05) . Conclusion The mechanism by which MSC combined with LITUS exerts neuroprotective effects in TBI may be related to the promotion of BDNF , GAP⁃43 , and PSD⁃95 expression and reduction of GFAP expression.
