Objective To evaluate the effects of low tidal-volume ventilation on blood gases and respiratory mechanics during open heart surgery in children with acyanotic congenital heart disease. Methods Forty NYHA class Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients with atrial or ventricular septal defect aged 3-6 yrs weighing 12-18 kg undergoing open heart surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the tidal volume of mechanical ventilation: group A low tidal volume(V_r=7ml?kg~(-1),n=20) and group B conventional tidal volume(V_T=9 ml?kg~(-1), n=20). The respiratory rate(RR) was 21-23 bpm, I: E ratio 1:2 and FiO_2 100% in both groups. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular morphine 0.1 mg?kg~(-1) and scopolamine 0.01 mg?kg~(-1). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1 mg?kg~(-1), fentanyl 10 ?g?kg~(-1) and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg~(-1) and maintained with infusion of fentanyl 4 ?g?kg~(-1)?h~(-1) and vecuronium 80 ?g?kg?h~(-1) supplemented with isoflurane inhalation(

Objective To explore the application of high-frequency color Doppler in the diagnosis of infant intussusception and the selection of reduction mode according tO the hemodynamic situations of intussusception intestine tube and blood vessel in mesentery.Methods A total of 377 cases of doubtful intussusception infants wete checked by high-frequency color Doppler.After they had been diagnosed,the hemodynamic situations of intussuscepiton intestine tube and blood vessel in mesentery were carefully observed and the ultra-sound had 3 types and then the hydrostatic enema reduction was chosen as treatment method.Results A total of 263 cases was diagnosed by highfrequency colot Doppler with rate of coincidence of 100%.Among them are 253 successful cases reduced by hydrostatic enema.The successful rate of reduction was 96.2%and the 10 failed cases were changed to be treated bv operation.The intestinal wall of intussusception tube in failure group had serious dropsy without blood flow shown.Conclusions It is accurate that the infant intussusception is diagnosed by high-frequency color Doppler.According to the hemodynamic situations of intussusceptin intestine tube and blood vessel in mesentery,the infant intussusception can be divided into 3 types as follows:type Ⅰ:the blood signal of intestinal tube and wall is up or normal,which shall be reduced by hydrostatic enema;type Ⅱ:the blood signal of intestinal tube and wall is small with high obstruction index,which shall be reduced by hydrostatic enema as possible as it can;type Ⅲ:the intestinal wall has serious dropsy with rather high obstruction index and without blood flow shown,in which the hydrostatic enema redHetion shall bebanned and the operation shall be carried out as soon as possible.

Objective:To investigate the effect of equol on the proliferation of colom cancer cells and to explore the mechanisms.Methods: Colon cancer cells (DLD1,HCT15,COLO205,LOVO,SW480) were incubated, the cell proliferation was identified by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell proliferation assay.Reverse transcription PCR and Western blot were used to measure the mRNA and the protein expression of estrogen receptor and nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2)in the colon cancer cells, respectively.Moreover, 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell proliferation assay was used to investigate the effect of estrogen receptor(ER) inhibitor,ERα agonist, and estrogen receptor ERβagonist on the cell proliferation.Results: ERα was faintly expressed in the DLD-1 and HCT-15 cells.However, ERβ expression in DLD1, HCT15, COLO205, LOVO, and SW480 colon cancer cells.Different concentrations of equol (0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 μmol/L) significantly inhibited the growth of HCT-15 cell with the expression of ERα and ERβ.More-over, different concentrations of equol (0, 0.5, 1, 5, 10 μmol/L) significantly inhibited the growth of LOVO, and SW480 cells with the ERβ expression in a dose-dependent manner as demonstrated with a 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide cell proliferation assay.mRNA expressions of ERα and ERβ in HCT-15 were stimulated significantly.Western blotting proved that the protein expressions of ERα and ERβ increased with the increasing of equol dose.Moreover we found significant difference of Nrf2 protein expression in HCT-15 cell stimulated by different concentrationss of equol.After the similation of estrogen receptor inhibitor, ERα agonist, or ERβ agonist, we found that only dif-ferent concentrations of ERβ agonist(0, 1, 10, 100, 1 000, 10 000 nmol/L) significantly inhibited the growth of HCT-15, LOVO, and SW480 in adose-dependent manner.Estrogen receptor inhibitor and ERα agonistdid not present significant effect on the cell proliferation of HCT-15, LOVO, and SW480.Conclusion: Equol inhibited the colon cancer cell proliferation by its estrogenic activities and antioxidant activities.

Objective To explore the ultrasonographical characteristics of placental abruption, especially the light placental abruption that was diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonic combining with enhancement Doppler E-flow imaging, providing diagnosis data for clinical treatment. Methods With color Doppler ultrasonic and enhancement Doppler E-flow imaging, an analysis was made on the ultrasonography and clinical result of 50 patients with heavy placental abruption and 23 patients with light placental abruption. Results The diagnosis and clinical treatment of 50 patients with heavy placental abruption who had been diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonic combining with enhancement Doppler E-flow imaging were in conformity with the postnatal pathological diagnosis. The coincidence rate in diagnosis was 100%. Of 23 patients with light placental abruption who had been diagnosed by color Doppler ultrasonic combining with enhancement E-flow Doppler imaging, 19 cases' diagnosis and clinical treatment were in accordance with their postnatal pathological diagnosis and the coincidence rate was 83%, 4 cases were misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis. Of 73 patients with placental abruption, 60 cases were carried out caesarean birth and 13 cases performed natural labor. Conclusion The enhancement Doppler E-flow imaging combining with color Doppler ultrasonic can accurately diagnose the heavy placental abruption and also provide a new method for the diagnosis of light placental abruption and perform a dynamic monitoring for the treatment transfer result of it.

Objective To investigate the genotype and mutation frequency of thalassemia in child patients of Shenzhen region so as to provide evidences for the gene diagnosis and genetic counseling of thalassemia.Methods A total of 1 206 child patients suspected with thalassemia were retrospectively analyzed.The gene deletion of α-thalassemia was detected by Gap-PCR.The point mutations of α-thalassemia and β-thalassemia were determined by reverse dot blot(RDB)-PCR.The specimens suspected with HKαα and rare gene mutations were determined with nested PCR and gene sequencing,respectively.Results The detection rate of thalassemia was 76.9％ (927/ 1 206).Among them,α-thalassemia accounted for 40.5％ (489/1 206),and--SEA/αα was the most common gene mutation(75.1％);β-thalassemia accounted for 33.7％ (406/1 206),and the main IVS-2-654 (C→T) and CDM1-42 (-TCTT) heterozygous mutations accounted for 35％ and 32.5％,respectively.In addition,there were 32(2.7％) β-thalassemia patients with α-thalassemia mutation,1 patient with HKαα/ααQS,1 α-thalassemia patient with CD61 (AAG→TAG)/--SEA and 1 β-thalassemia patient with CD5 (CCT→C).Conclusion The are complicated gene mutation types and rare gene mutations of thalassemia in child patients of Shenzhen region.
