Objective To determine the threshold of stroke volume variation (SVV) in determining the volume expansion responsiveness during fluid therapy in patients ventilated with different tidal volumes. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-75 yr undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 tidal volume groups (n = 25 each):group Ⅰ VT 8 ml/kg (group V1) and group ⅡVT 10 ml/kg (group V2). Radial artery was cannulated and connected to Vigelo monitor for continuous monitoring of cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and SVV. Internal jugular vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring. Anesthesia was induced with milazolam, propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium and maintained with intravenous propofol and remifentanil infusion. BIS was maintained at 40-50 during anesthesia. The patients were intubatel and mechanically ventilated (VT 8/10 ml/kg, RR 8-12 bpm, oxygen flow 2 L/min). 6％ HES 130/0.4 7 ml/kg was infused iv at a rate of 0.4 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 after induction of anesthesia. MAP, HR, CVP, CI, SVV, SVI and SVRI were recorded before and at 3 min after fluid therapy. The changing rate of SVV (△SVV) and CI (△CI) were calculated. The criterion for effective volume expansion was △CI 15%. The ROC curve for SVV in determring the volume expansion responsiveness was plotted and the diagnostic threshold was determined. Results ROC curve showed that the diagnostic threshold of SVV was 10.5 % in group V1 and 13.5% in group V2. The sensitivity and specificity in determining effective volume expansion were 93.3 % and 75.0 % in group V1 and 87.5 % and 85.7 % in group V2 respectively. The area under the curve for SVV and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 0.946 (0.860-1.031) in group V1 and 0.951 (0.868-1.034) in group V2. △SVV was negatively correlated with △CI in group V1 (=0.553) and V2 (= 0.602). Conclusion The threshold of SVV in determining the volume expansion responsiveness during fluid therapy is 10.5% and 13.5% in mechanically ventilated patients with tidal volume of 8 and 10 ml/kg respectively.

To improve and optimize marine antimicrobial peptide R-1 production by a newly isolated Brevibacillus laterosporus Lh-1, Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design was adopted in culture conditions. MINITAB 15.0 was used for planning the experiments, data analysis, contour diagrams and response optimizations. In this study, PB design was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the fifteen factors. By the statistical regression analysis, the significant factors affecting the novel antimicrobial peptide R-1 in submerged fermentation by Br. laterosporus Lh-1 were determined as follows: glucose, peptone and CaCl2. Then a RSM was used to optimize the above critical internal factors, and the optical concentration of the variables were deter-mined as: 15.72 g/L glucose, 6.01 g/L peptone and 3.29 g/L CaCl2. The content of R-1 was increased from 82.15 kU/mL to 116.27 kU/mL.

AIM: To investigate the effect of antisense oligonucleotides(ASON) of c-sis on cellular cycle and proliferation of pulmonary artery vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC).METHODS: Tissue mass culture was done to get VSMC of pulmonary artery. Different concentrations of antisense oligonucleotides of c-sis were added into the cultures to observe the VSMC proliferation curve using MTT test. The changes of VSMC cellular cycle were also observed by flow cytometry. RESULTS: ASON with mid-to high concentrations restrained the proliferation of VSMC apparently with the peak of cell growth being attenuated or eliminated. Affected by mid-concentration ASON, PDGF-BB showed significant accelerating effect on the proliferation of VSMC. The ratio of G 0/G 1 in cellular cycle was increased significantly in VSMC culture with ASON in comparison with control. The G 0/G 1 ratio also showed significant differences among different concentration of ASON groups( P

OBJECTIVE To explore cell death type of lateral line hair cellsinduced by cisplatin in zebrafish. METHODS Zebrafish larva were incubated in 1mM cisplatin solution for 6 hrs to induce about 90%lateral line hair cells loss. Time lapse imaging was used to detect the morphology of cisplatin-incubated hair cells in wildtypezebrafish pre-labelled by live dyes Bodipy TR C5-ceramide and Sytogreen 24. TUNEL assay and In situ anti-active Caspase-3 antibody staining were performed to detect nuclei fragmentation and Caspase-3 activity respectively. RESULTS Compared to control group, hair cells condensationand nuclei fragmentation (P<0.05) were detected in cisplatin-incubated group, and active Caspase-3 activity was also observed after cisplatin addition. CONCLUSION Cisplatinmay induced zebrafish lateral line hair cells loss by Caspase-3-dependent apoptotic pathway.
