Objective To investigate the impact of propofol and midazolam on the time course of extubation in patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods The patients were randomly divided into the propofol group(n=37)and the midazolam group(n=52),which were further divided into three sedation stratums.The administration of two drugs were stoped immediately while weaning from the ventilator.The awakening time and extubation time of the two groups were recorded and compared with each other.Results Both awakening time and extubation time of the propofol groups were shorter than those of the midazolam group(P

AIM: The impaired function of vascular endothelial cells occurs popularly in hypertensive patients. Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) plays a crucial role on impaired function, and is related to prevalence, severity and target organ damages of hypertension. This study explored the relationship between HGF gene C57488A polymorphism and essential hypertension (EH). METHODS: ①Between June and December in 2006, totally 107 EH patients with an average age of (61?9) years, in them 47 cases with family history of hypertension, were recruited in this study. Informed consents were obtained from the patients who were all the Han residents of Hefei area, and the experiment was approved by the hospital ethical committee. The hypertension criteria formulated by Chinese Medical Association included the systolic pressure ≥140 mm Hg or diastolic pressure ≥ 90 mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), or having received drug therapy for hypertension over one year. The patients were administrated with hypotensive drugs with one month. Meanwhile 110 normotensives without family history of hypertension and drug therapy were served as controls, with an average age of (60?8) years. Inclusion criteria: systolic pressure 0.05).②The distributions of HGF gene C57488A polymorphism were in agreement with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, indicating population representativeness. The frequencies of three genotypes CC, CA, AA were 0.809, 0.170, 0.021 and C, A alleles were 0.894, 0.106 in the EH group with family history respectively. Correspondingly, the frequencies were 0.733, 0.233, 0.033 and 0.850, 0.150 respectively in the EH patients without family history. Meanwhile, the frequencies were 0.527, 0.355, 0.060 and 0.705, 0.295 respectively in the controls.③The frequencies of genotype CC and allele C were both significant higher in EH with or without family history compared with the controls (P 0.05). CONCLUSION: HGF gene C57488A polymorphism is possibly associated with EH, and genotype CC and allele C may be the factors of genetic predisposition of EH in Han population of Hefei area.

Objective To investigate the post traumatic stress disorder scores of undergraduate and the correlation between emotional approach coping(EAC) in unaffected region after Wenchuan-earthquake.Methods PTSD Check list-Civilian Version (PCL-C) and emotional approach coping scale(EACS) were used to assessed 880 undergraduates in Nanjing. Results (1)The average score of PCL-C was 30.52±9.64, and the prevalence rates of PTSD was found 5.3%.(2)Gender difference were found in social function(male:1.66±0.80,female:1.52±0.63, t =2.664,P =0.005) and positive scores of PTSD(male:31.32±10.81,female:29.81±8.41,t =2.263,P =0.022).(3)No significant difference was found in different specialty between PTSD,but in emotional procession and emotional expression.(4)Emotional-approach coping and expose time in front of media came into the regression equation of PTSD symptoms.Conclusion The score of PCL-C of undergraduate in unaffected region are infected by how long he spend in front of media and how he use emotion-approach coping strategy to cope with this shock bringing by Wenchuan-Earthquake

Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)plays an important role in the degradation of extracellular matrix components,which is crucial for tumor growth,invasion and metastasis.As one with the largest relative molecular mass in MMP family,MMP-9 takes part in the generation and progression of colorectal cancer. Research shows that MMP-9 can be used for the early diagnosis of colorectal cancer.The expression levels of MMP-9 in tissue and plasma are negatively correlated with prognosis of the postoperative patients with colorectal cancer.In addition,targeted therapy drugs will be designed on the basis of MMP-9 expression increased in colorectal cancer.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of warm needling plus tuina in treating senile functional constipation. ＜br> Methods: Ninety elderly patients with functional constipation were randomized into two groups. Forty-six patients in the treatment group were intervened by warm needling plus tuina; the other forty-four patients in the control group were intervened bySan Huang tablet. ＜br> Results: In the treatment group, 19 patients were cured, 24 cases showed improvement, 3 cases failed, and the total effective rate was 93.5%; in the control group, 16 patients were cured, 18 cases showed improvement, 10 cases failed, and the total effective rate was 77.3%. There was a significant difference in comparing the therapeutic efficacy (P＜0.05), and the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group. ＜br> Conclusion: Warm needling plus tuina can produce a higher therapeutic efficacy than takingSan Huang tablet in treating senile functional constipation.

Objective To explore the clinical value of video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection.Methods The clinical data of 32 patients(observation group) who performed video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection were retrospectively analyzed,compared them with 53 patients with mediastinal tumor who underwent traditional thoracotomy (control group).The clinical outcomes including operation time,intraoperative blood loss,chest drainage duration,postoperative hospital stay,postoperative complication and postoperative analgesia drug application were compared between two groups.Results No perioperative death was observed in two groups.There were no statistical difference in operation time between two groups [(121.9 ± 41.2) min vs.(141.7 ± 35.2) min] (P ＞ 0.05).The observation group was significantly better in the intraoperative blood loss [(116.0 ±53.2) ml],chest drainage duration [(5.2 ± 1.2) d],postoperative hospital stay [(8.5 ± 1.3) d],postoperative analgesia drug application [(0.8 ± 0.7) times],postoperative comolication (3 cases),than those of the control group [(147.2 ± 45.2) ml,(6.8 ± 2.2) d,(11.2 ± 2.4) d,(2.1 ± 0.9) times,15 cases].There were statistical differences between two groups (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Complete video-assisted thoracoscopic mediastinal tumor resection is a valuable way in the treatment of mediastinal tumor,rapidly recovery and less postoperative complication.

Objective To develop a method for the determination to organochlorine pesticides by gas chromatography-mass spectra-mass spectra.Methods The temperature of inlet was 250 ℃,the injection volume was 1 ?l,without split injection.The temperature of EI source was 300 ℃,the ionization energy was 70 eV,solvent delay time was 3.75 min,transfer line temperature was 280 ℃.181,235,246(m/z)were selected as parent ion,and 145,165,176(m/z)were sub ion.Results In the range of 0-50 ?g/L,every component had a good linearity,r≥0.99,the limit of detection≤0.01 ?g/L.Its average rate of recovery was in the range of 86.1%-101.8%,and the relative standard deviations(RSDs) were between 4.41%-8.07%.Conclusion Gas chromatography-mass spectra-mass spectra is more precise for the qualitative and quantitative determination of trace organochlorine pesticides residues in drinking water.
