Objective To compare the effects of propofol versus midazolam on serum hydrocortisone in the aged traumatic brain injury. Methods 64 patients (aged 65-72 years) with traumatic brain injury during mechanical ventilation were divided into propofol group (n=32) and midazolam group(n=32).The hemodynamics data,intracranial pressure(ICP) and the calculated cerebral perfusion pressure(CPP) were recorded.The serum hydrocortisone of patients was detectedby enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 24 h,72 h and 4 weeks in intensive care unit(ICU). Results There was no differences in partial pressure of carbon dioxide,heart rate,meanartery pressure,pulse biood oxygen saturation (SpO2 ),armpit temperature,endexpiratory gas(PEr CO2),intraeranial pressure (ICP) and cerebral pertusion pressure (CPP) between the two groups (P>0.05).The serum hydrocortisone in propofol group at 24 h and 72 h [(269.7±43.2) nmol/L and (235.0±67.0) nmol/L] were lower than in midazolam group [(278.0±75.5) nmol/L and (243.2±42.4) nmol/L] (t=5.312 and 5.919,both P=0.000).The serum hydrocortisone in propofol and midazolam group at 4 weeks were (209.1±73.9) nmol/L and (210.8±66.6) nmol/L,respectively,no significant difference was found(t=0.075,P =0.938). Conclusions There is a significant difference in the effects of propofol and midazolam on the early level of hydrocortisone in the aged patients with traumatic brain injury.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the significance of CK19 mRNA monitoring in peripheral blood of breast cancer patients.MethodsPeripheral blood samples were collected from 137 breast cancer patients preoperatively,one day post-operation,7 days,1,3,6,12,18,and 24 months after operation.RTPCR was used to detect CK19 mRNA expression.The relationships were analyzed between CK19 mRNA expression and treatment result, between CK19 mRNA expression and clinicopathological parameters.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the level of CK19 mRNA as tested preoperatively,and 1,7 days postoperatively(P > 0.05 ).From one month and thereafter,CK 19 mRNA decreased significantly when compared with that immediate perioperatives ( P < 0.05 ). Postoperative peripheral CK19 mRNA expression increased in those found with recurrent or metastasized tumors ( P < 0.01 ). CK19 mRNA expression does not correlate with patient's menstrual status,estrogen receptor expression,progesterone receptor expression,HER-2 expression and Ki67 proliferation expression (P > 0.05 ). But there was statistically significant correlation between CK19 mRNA expression and tumour size,histology grading,pathological type,lymph node metastasis ( P < 0.01 ).ConclusionsIn breast cancer patients peripheral blood CK19 mRNA expression is correlated with risk clinicopathological parameters, and increases in patients with postoperative recurrence and tumor metastasis.

Objective To compare the effects of dezocine and fentanyl on analgesia and cognitive state for elderly patients after neurosurgery.Methods A total of 42 elderly patients with brain tumors and American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Ⅱ-Ⅲ were randomly divided into two groups:Dezocine group and fentanyl group (n=21,each).The time of recovery and extubation,pain intensity descriptive scale (PIDS),Ramsay score and mini-mental state examination (MMSE) before operation,and 1 h,2 h and 3 h after extubation were recorded.Results The time of recovery [(15.9±2.8) min vs.(16.2 ± 4.3)] min and extubation [(22.4 ± 5.1) min vs.(23.8 3.7) min] between the two groups had no differences (both P>0.05).And there were no statistical differences between the two groups in Ramsay and MMSE score at 1 h,2 h,3 h after extubation and on PIDS at 1 h after extubation (all P> 0.05).The PIDS were lower in Dezocine group than in fentanyl group at 2 h[(2.01±0.79)scores vs.(2.55±0.51)scores,(t =-2.24,P=0.04))] and 3 h after extubation [(2.30±0.66)scores vs.(2.75±0.64)scores,(t =-2.44,P=0.03)].Conclusions The using of dezocine and fentanyl before the end of operation could have a good sedative and analgesia effect on neurosurgery without influence on the duration of recovery and extubation,and dezocine may maintain a longer time of analgesia than fentanyl in elderly patients.

BACKGROUND: Choriocarcinoma is a kind of trophoblastic neoplasm with highly aggressive phenotypes. Forkhead box D3 (FoxD3) is an embryonic and trophoblastic stem cel transcription factor. It plays important roles in different physical and pathological situations such as embryogenesis, carcinogenesis and tumor progression.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of FoxD3 in choriocarcinoma malignancy and the possible mechanism.
METHODS:The human choriocarcinoma JAR cel line was employed in this study. The mRNA and protein expressions of genes were measured by quantitative RT-PCR (qRT-PCR) and western blot, respectively. The FoxD3 specific short hair RNA was applied to down-regulate gene expression. The cel proliferation was evaluatedin vitro by cel counting assay andin vivo by tumor growth. The migration/invasion was determined by transwel assay. The profile of FoxD3 targeted genes was investigated with an Agilent microarray and verified by qRT-PCR.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The FoxD3 mRNA and protein expressions in JAR cells were significantly higher than those in primarily cultured normal trophoblastic cells. Knockdown of FoxD3 by short hair RNA in JAR cells could inhibit cell proliferation and migration/invasionin vitro, and suppress thetumor growth with decreased β-human chorionic gonadotropin secretionin vivo. A profile of seven focal adhesion molecules (ITGA5, ITGB6, THBS4, COL6A3, VTN, NRXN3 and NLGN1) was verified to be targeted by FoxD3. Furthermore, knockdown of FoxD3 by short hair RNA could decrease the activation of focal adhesion kinase. All these findings suggest the overexpression of FoxD3 can contribute to the aggressive phenotype of choriocarcinoma JAR cells by regulating the profile of focal adhesion molecules and focal adhesion kinase.
