Objective To determine whether fetal rats exposure to isoflurane will cause postnatal learning and memory deficits,and change Bcl-2/Bax ratio in the hippocampus CA1 and retrosplenial cortex in fetal brain of rats. Methods Twenty-eight Sprague Dawley pregnant rats at gestation day 21 (E21) were randomly divided into isoflurane treatment group(n=14) and sham control group(n=14). Rats in isoflurane treatment group were ex-posed to 1.3% isoflurane in a carrying gas of 30% oxygen, balance nitrogen for 6 h in a warmed, humidified cham-ber. For sham control group,animals were treated at the same condition with only carrying gas. In behavior study,the spatial learning and memory ability at juvenile ages was determined with the Morris Water Maze(MWM). In immunohistochemistry study,changes of Bcl-2 and Bax expression in hippocampus CA1 and retrosplenial cortex in the fetus brain after isoflurane treatment at 2 hours was performed by using immunofluorecence staining.Results In the MWM training, the escape latency to platform in the place trials showed no significant difference between the two groups,but the postnatal rats in 1.3% isoflurane group showed obviously improved retention of memory by spending more percentage of time swimming in the probe quadrant as compared to the control animals ((42.33±2.31) s vs (33.2±2.15) s, t=2.21, P<0.05) in the probe test. Compared to controls, 1.3% isoflu-rane exposure for 6 h to the pregnant rats increased the intensity of Bcl-2, decreased the intensity of Bax, and sig-nificantly increased the Bcl-2/Bax ratio in the fetal hippocampal CA1 region (4.40±0. 86 vs 1.31±0.32, t=3. 378, P<0.01) and the fetal retrosplenial cortex (5.07±1.27 vs 1.47±0.48, t=2.656, P < 0.05) respec-tively. Conclusion 1.3% isoflurane exposure in pregnant rats significantly improves the spatial retention memo-ry of their rat pups at a juvenile age and increases the Bcl-2/Bax ratio in the hippocampal CA1 region and the ret-resplenial cortex in the fetal rat brains.

Objective To compare the curative effect of laparoscopic and laparotomic operation for elderly Chinese women with cervical cancer. Methods The randomized controlled trials (RCT) and case controlled trials (CCT) were collected by searches of WanFang database, CNKI, VIP, China Biology Medicine (CBM) , PubMed. Data were extracted from these trials and data analysis was performed by RevMan 5.2.9. Results There were no RCTs, however, a total of 10 CCTs met the inclusion criteria and had data extracted for this review. The baseline characteristics of the laparoscopic group were similar to those of the laparotomic group. Comparing to laparotomic group, the laparoscopic group have longer operation time (MD =32.60, 95%CI: 5.65~59.55, P = 0.020), less amount of bleeding (MD = -94.01, 95%CI: -130.65 ~ -57.37, P = 0.000), smaller number of lymph node dissection(MD = 1.69, 95%CI: 0.67 ~ 2.72, P = 0.001), earlier anus exhaustion (MD=-17.09, 95%CI: -21.19 ~ -12.98, P = 0.000) and shorter hospital stays (MD = -4.30, 95%CI: -5.57 ~ -3.02, P = 0.000). There was significant difference between the two groups. But there was no statistical significance in postoperative indwelling catheter time (MD = -0.67, 95%CI: -1.92 ~ 0.58, P = 0.290) and surgical complications incidence (OR=0.62, 95%CI: 0.27 ~ 1.42, P = 0.260) between the two groups. Conclusion Laparoscopic management has the advantages of less traumatic and recovered quickly, and did not increase the incidence of complications. Laparoscopic operation is an ideal procedure for elderly Chinese women with cervical carcinoma.

Objective To assess the epidemiological characteristics of hypertension and its attributing factors in Heilongjiang province and establish a comprehensive basis for the prevention and control of hypertension in this region. Methods Using the stratified chunk method, a survey lasting 50 years was conducted on a sample of 299 677 (including i 58 782 males and 140 895 females) patients, aged 15 and above, residing in both rural and urban areas of Heilongjiang province from 1958 to 2007. Both blood pressure measurement and analysis on attributing factors of hypertension were carried out in 1958, 1979, 1991, 1999 and 2007. Results The prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher in Heilongjiang than in other provinces. It elevated annually, reaching a 3-fold increase in 50 years with an accelerating pace ( 17.06% to 25. 69% ) in the recent 8 years. Among the people examined, the prevalence of hypertension increased with aging. Furthermore, the prevalence of hypertension varied among different professions. Office workers had the highest prevalence (41.67%). Compared with female population, male participants had a much higher prevalence before the age of 55 (P < 0.0001 ). Body mass index, gender, hypertriglyceridemia, age, low-high density lipoprotein cholesterol and family history were identified as major risk factors for the development of hypertension in Heilongjiang province. However, the awareness (48. 90% ), treatment (25.33%) and control (4. 32% ) rates of hypertension in this region were relatively low. Conclusion The results of the present study identified Heilongjiang province as a high-risk region for hypertension. It also suggests the necessity to plan and implement actions for the effective prevention and treatment of hypertension in this region.

Objective To compare and evaluate the clinical efficacy and side effect of vinorelbine plus gemcitabine and vinorelbine plus cisplatin combinations in advanced non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods 56 cases with non-treated advanced NSCLC were unrandomly divided into two groups: the GN group (27patients) treated with vinorelbine plus gemcitabine, the NP group (29 patients) treated with vinorelbine plus cisplatin,1/3 weeks×2~6 cycles. Results For the GN group, the overall response rate was 37.7 %, MTTP was 5.1months,one year survival rate (1-ySR) was 40.7 %. There were no significant difference in the response rates and the survival rates for the GN group compared with the NP group (P >0.05); But on the side effect of toxicities, WHO grade anemia and nausea/vomiting and tiredness of the GN group was significantly milder than the NP group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Vinorelbine combined Gemcitabine regimen (GN) is active and well-tolerated. It is worth to investigate GN recommended as the first line chemotherapeutic regimen for the treatment of patients with advanced NSCLC.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of neonatal congenital tongue base cyst.Methods:This retrospective study involved 35 neonates with congenital tongue base cyst diagnosed in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Xi'an Children's Hospital from June 2013 to December 2019. General information, clinical manifestations, supplementary results, treatment and prognosis of these babies were described.Results:(1) The median age at the onset of the disease was 12.5 (0~28) d and the median age at admission was 15 (0~28) d for these babies. The main clinical manifestations were laryngeal stridor (28/35, 80.0%), inspiratory dyspnea and crying, especially when feeding (26/35, 74.3%) and choking and spitting with feeding (23/35, 65.7%). (2) Among the 35 cases, 15 (42.9%) required emergency endotracheal intubation due to significant dyspnea when were admitted to the NICU and five out of them were considered for having tongue base mass under laryngoscopy, while the other 10 cases underwent bedside electronic laryngoscopy after endotracheal intubation, in which space-occupying lesions were found. Tongue base cyst was considered in seven cases with laryngeal stridor complicated by protracted pneumonia using fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The other 13 cases were examined by electronic laryngoscope and considered as tongue base cyst. Thirty-five cases underwent cervical ultrasound and only five of them were considered as tongue base tumor. Thirty-two cases underwent cervical CT scan and only two of them were normal. Three cases were found to have tongue base cyst by cranial MRI. (3) Thirty-four cases were treated by radiofrequency ablation assisted with self-retaining microlaryngoscope and general anesthesia, while the other one firstly received puncture and drainage under direct laryngoscope due to the difficult intubation because of the huge tongue base cyst and then underwent surgery when stable. Only one case (2.9%) relapsed after surgical treatment during regular follow-up.Conclusions:Neonatal congenital tongue base cyst has an early onset and atypical clinical manifestations. Electronic laryngoscopy/fiberoptic bronchoscopy combined with neck CT or MRI examination should be performed promptly in patients with laryngeal stridor and inspiratory dyspnea to facilitate the accurate diagnosis and timely surgery is required for.

Objective To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in the protective effects of morphine postconditioning against ischemia-reperfusion (I/R)-induced myocardial apoptoais. Methods Sixty pathogen-free SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 15 each) : group Ⅰ sham operation (S) ; group Ⅱ I/R; group Ⅲ morphine postconditioning ( M ) and group Ⅳ M + L-NAME ( non-selective NOS inhibitor). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal pentobarbital 60 mg/kg, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated. ECG was monitored. Right carotid artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and left jugular vein was cannulated for drug and fluid administration. Myocardial ischemia was induced by 45 min occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) followed by 120 min reperfusion. In group S LAD was exposed but not occluded; in group M morphine 1.25 mg/kg was injected iv over 5 min from 3 min before reperfuaion to 2 min of repeffuaion and in group M + L-NAME L-NAME 10 mg/kg was injected iv at 20 min before myocardial ischemia. Hemodynamic changes were monitored. The animals were killed at the end of 120 min reperfusion and their hearts removed. Myocardial apoptosis was determined by TUNEL technique. The expression of Akt phosphorylation was assessed by Western blotting. The NO content in myocardium was measured by a chemiluminescence detector.Results A large number of TUNEL positive cells (18.4 ± 1.1 ) % were observed in group I/R. Morphine postconditioning exerted a significant anti-apoptotic effect. The number of TUNEL positive cells was reduced to (10.8 ± 1.2)%. The myocardial eNOS phosphorylation expression and NO content were significantly increased in group M as compared with group I/R. The anti-apoptofie effect and increased NO production were significantly reversed by L-NAME. However, pretreatment with L-NAME did not inhibit the phosphorylation of eNOS in group L + M. Conclusion In vivo, morphine postconditioning can significantly reduce I/R-induced myocardial apoptosis through phosphorylation of eNOS and increase in NO production.
