Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 2013;33(10):1248-1251
Objective To evaluate the effect of celastrol postconditioning on focal cerebral ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods Sixty-four Sprague-Dawle rats (32 males,32 females),weighing 250300 g,were randomized into 4 groups using a random number table (n =16 each):sham operation group (group S) ; celastrol control group (group S + C) ; focal cerebral I/R group (group I/R) ; celastrol postconditioning group (group I/R + C).Focal cerebral I/R were produced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO).Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) 0.3 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally after shame operation in group S.Celastrol 3 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally after shame operation in group S + C.DMSO 0.3 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 5 min of reperfusion in group I/R.Celastrol 3 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 5 min of reperfusion in group I/R + C.The neurologic deficit was scored at 5 min before reperfusion and 24 h of reperfusion.The infarct size was detected by TTC staining,and then the percentage of infarct size was calculated.The pathological changes in CA1 region of ischemic hippocampus were detected by HE staining.The activity of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase (NOX),content of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and expression of NOX1 and NOX2 mRNA (by RT-PCR) in ischemic brain tissues were detected.Results Compared with S and S + C groups,the neurologic deficit scores,infarct size,percentage of infarct size,NOX activity and ROS content were significantly increased,and the expression of NOX1 mRNA and NOX2 mRNA was up-regulated in I/R and I/R + C groups (P < 0.01).Compared with group I/R,the neurologic deficit scores,infarct size,percentage of infarct size,NOX activity and ROS content were significantly decreased,and the expression of NOX1 mRNA and NOX2 mRNA was down-regulated in group I/R+ C (P < 0.01).There was no significant difference in the parameters mentioned above between group S and group S + C (P > 0.05).The pathological changes in CAl region of ischemic hippocampus were significantly attenuated in group I/R + C (P < 0.01).Conclusion Postconditioning with celastrol can auenuate focal cerebral [/R injury in rats and inhibiton of oxidative stress response in brain tissues may be involved in the mechanism.

Objective To explore the clinical value of combined detection of CA15-3, TSGF, OPN and CA125 in the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer. Methods The serum specimens from 187 patients with breast cancer (cancer group) were collected, tumor markers CA15-3 and CA125 were detected with electrochemiluminescence method, TSGF was detected with chemocolorimetry, and OPN was detected with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Compared with 50 cases of patients with benign breast disease (control group), The relationship between these marker and clinical stage, recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer were analyzed. Results The serum levels of CA15-3, CA125, TSGF and OPN in cancer group were significantly higher than those in control group (P <0.05). Four markers in high clinical stage(Ⅲ and Ⅳ stage)[(83.21±28.67), (89.13±32.34), (278.66±137.23) U/ml and (97.4±11.7) ng/ml, respectively] were higher than those in low stage( Ⅰ and Ⅱ stage) [(60.03±19.35), (58.21±17.56), (155.79±113.11) U/ml and (77.5±10.81) ng/ml,respectively] (P <0.05), and those in lymphnode metastasis patients and in recurrence patients were significantly higher than those in corresponding groups (P <0.05). The sensitivity and specificity of the combined detection of four tumor markers were 96.3 % (180/187) and 80.0 % (40/50), respectively. The average time of combined detection of serum tumor markers was 2 months ahead of the mammographic features in the recurrence patients with breast cancer. Conclusion The dynamic combined detection of CA15-3, TSGF, OPN and CA125 are better markers for monitoring recurrence and metastasis of breast cancer,which are benefit to early diagnosis and interference.

We report a spectrophotometic method for the determination of cyanogen chloride (CNCl) in air pollution.Experimental parameters for the stability and absorbility of CNCl gas in the different media were studied.The experimental conditions were optimized for CNCI as follows:absorbent:1%isonicotinic acid-barbituric acid;reaction acidity:pH 5.8 in phosphate buffer at room temperature;masking agent:0.01mol/L EDTA;λmax:598nm. The apparent molar absorptivity was found to be 1.17×105L·mol-1·cm-1,the linear range was within 0~5μg of CNCl in 25 mL solution; the regression equation of the curve has given by A=-0.0040+1.935C(r=0.9999).The method has been applied to the determination of CNCl in chimney gas,workshop air and production area air of the cyanuric trichloride plant,chemical works and pharmaceutical factory air.The relative standard deviation was below 2.7%(n=4)for the cyanogen chloride amount within 13~64mg/m3,and when CNCl amounts were within 0.1~1.0mg/m3,RSD was below 6.9%(n=6).The recovery was 98.7%.

Objective: To observe the influence of sot alol on the QT dispersion in patients with atrioventricular accessory pathways u nderwent radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Methods: Thirt y-six patients were divided into 2 groups by random. One was the drug group(18 cases) treated by RFCA, and sotalol 160 mg was orally administered and intracar diac electrophysiological study was performed every 30 min for 5 times. Th e other group(control group, 18 cases) only treated by RFCA.QTd,QTcd and QTLcd w ere measured before and after RFCA. Results: There was no signif icant difference with QT dispersion before and after RFCA in control group. When compared with before RFCA, QTd in patients administered sotalol was (30.9 ±14.3) ms vs (24.7±9.6) ms; QTcd(33.7±17.1) ms vs (25.2±10.1) ms; QT Lcd(30.8±14.1)ms vs (25.6±19.4) ms (P<0.05). Conclusion: Sotalol can slightly lower QT dispersion, which is beneficial for preventing malignant ventricular arrthythmia. It is safe in RFCA in pateints with accessory pathway.

Objective To assess the effects of management by diabetes specialist nurse (DSN) on blood glucose control.Methods A comprehensive search of databases was carried out including PubMed,the Cochrane Library,Web of Science,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese Biomedical Literature Database (CBM),China Scientific Journal Database (VIP) and Wanfang Database from their inception to November 2013 in any language to identify trials.Searching of relevant publications was undertaken to identify additional trials.Randomized controlled trials and quasi-randomized controlled trials dealing with the effects of management by DSN on glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA lc) were included in the review.Two investigators performed data extraction and quality assessment independently.Statistic analysis were carried out using RevMan5.2 software.Results Eighteen trials were included finally.Meta-analysis showed that management by DSN can better control the blood glucose of patients(WMD=-0.63,95%CI-0.88--0.38),but the effect was influenced by intervention time,location and type of the diabetes mellitus.Conclusions The presence of a DSN can improve patients' blood glucose control,especially in the long-term control of blood glucose.
