ObjectiveTo observe the effects of lung resection surgery on left heart hemodynamics in elderly patients, and explore its correlation with postoperative arrhythmia.Methods The 16 elderly patients (age≥75 years) receiving lung resection surgery were selected. At the same time, 21 patients (age<60 years) were selected as controls. The hemodynamic parameters of each patient were recorded at the time of preoperative (T1), surgery completion (T2) and first day after surgery (T3). For patients with arrhythmia during three days after operation, the parameters would be recorded before and after arrhythmia. Results There were no significant changes in heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), cardiac output (CO), cardiac stroke volume ( SV),acceleration index (ACI), systemic vascular resistance (SVR) at T2 and T3 compared with T1 for both the two groups (P>0. 05). Only the central venous pressure (CVP) increased at T2 compared with that at T1 [elderly group: (7.58±0.45) cm H2O vs. (5.92±0. 51) cm H2O, t=2.641, P<0.01; control group: (7.49±0.34) cm H2O vs. (6.23±0.47) cm H2O, t=1.982, P<0.05], while the CVP recovered to the preoperative level at T3. The incidence of arrhythmia was significantly higher in elderly group than in control group (31.3% vs. 14.3%, x2 = 4.26, P<0.05), but there were no significant changes in the parameters before and after arrhythmia compared with those before surgery (P > 0. 05 ).Conclusions The effects of pulmonary resection surgery on left heart hemodynamics in elderly patients can be avoided through full assessment preoperatively, heart-lung protection intraoperatively, as well as the correctly and timely clinical treatment and intensive care postoperatively. Pulmonary resection surgery has no effect on left heart hemodynamics even for patients with postoperative arrhythmia.

Objective To determine the value of dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE?MRI) in predicting treatment response before preoperative chemoradiotherapy in locally advanced rectal cancer. Methods A cohort of consecutive patients with histologically confirmed rectal adenocarcinoma treated with preoperative chemoradiotherapy followed by total mesorectal excision (TME) surgery was enrolled in a prospective, pilot trial. All enrolled patients were examined using DCE?MRI at two time points: 2 to 5 days before neoadjuvant chemoradiation, 1 to 4 days before surgery. The following perfusion parameters (Ktrans, Kep, Ve) were measured for tumor. The patients were classified into pathological complete response (pCR) and non?pCR group according to the pathological results after operation. Those perfusion parameters were compared between the pCR and the non?pCR group and between before and after CRT in pCR and the non?pCR group with the t test. Receiver?operating curves (ROC) were constructed to further investigate the predictive value of Ktrans, Kep, Ve before neoadjuvant chemoradiation and were used to determine a threshold value at which patents with pCR could be distinguished from patients without complete response. Results The final study population consisted of 38 patients. There were 12 patients with a pCR and 26 patients with non?pCR. Before neoadjuvant chemoradiation, the mean tumor Ktrans, Kep and Ve for pCR group were (1.25 ± 0.56)/min, (2.10 ± 1.61)/min and 0.73 ± 0.34, respectively, for non?pCR group they were (0.46 ± 0.39)/min, (1.15 ± 0.77)/min and 0.32±0.12, respectively. All perfusion parameters showed significant difference between those two groups(t values were 3.45,5.67 and 6.23 respectively, all P<0.05). After neoadjuvant chemoradiation, the mean tumor Ktrans, Kep and Ve for pCR group were (0.28 ± 0.13)/min, (0.62 ± 0.27)/min and 0.21 ± 0.13 respectively, for non?pCR group, they were (0.32±0.12)/min, (0.83±0.42)/min and 0.17±0.10, respectively. All perfusion parameters showed no difference between those two groups(P>0.05), as well as the changes before and after neoadjuvant chemoradiation in those groups(P>0.05). ROC analysis for Ktrans pre?treatment revealed that Ktrans had an AUC of 0.837 in predicting pCR. A Ktrans of 0.66/min was emerged as the optimal cut?off for distinguishing pCR from non?pCR and for Ktrans>0.66/min, the sensitivity and specificity for predicting pCR were 75.0% (9/12) and 96.2% (25/26). Kep and Ve showed an AUC of 0.655 and 0.654 in predicting pCR. Conclusions In locally advanced rectal cancer, DCE?MRI can aid in predicting treatment response before preoperative chemoradiotherapy. Ktrans may become a better predictor to classify which patients will benefit from neoadjuvant chemoradiation.

The optimum conditions of baicalin hydrolysis into baicalein by immobilized beta-glucosidase in a two-phase system was studied and the yield was observed. A two-phase system comprising of sodium acetate buffer and chloroform was determined by comparing the solubleness of baicalein in different solvents and partition coefficient of baicalein in related aqueous-organic two-phase system. beta-Glucosidase was immobilized by the crosslinking-embedding method using sodium alginate as the carrier The optimum reaction temperature, pH value, Michaelis constant, the thermal stability and pH stability were assayed. By comparing the yield of baicalin hydrolysis into baicalein by immobilized beta-glucosidase in two-phase system, the optimum reaction conditions were determined-the optimum reaction temperature, pH value and time were 50 degrees C, 5.0 and 10 h, respectively. The yield of baicalein was 85.28%. Compare with one-phase system, two-phase system had an advantage in reaction rate and yield.

AIM:To explore relationship between the normal strehl ratio ( SR ) values of total aberrations/SR values of total higher-order aberrations and modulation transfer function ( MTF ) at total corneal at different pupil diameters in normal population.
METHODS: To exam the SR values of total aberrations and SR values of total higher-order aberrations of total corneals in 200 people ( 400 eyes ) using SIRIUS 3D topography system and analysis the corresponding root-mean-square ( RMS) .
RESULTS: The subjects with different pupil diameters (3. 0, 5. 0, 6. 0, 7. 0mm)'s exam results of total corneal were as following:SR value of total aberrations 100’(0. 45±0. 12), (0. 25±0. 06), (0. 17±0. 05), (0. 13±0. 04); SR value of total higher order ab cerrations 100’(0. 69±0. 14), (0. 34±0. 07), (0. 24±0. 05), (0. 16±0. 04);SR value of total aberrations 200’(0. 45±0. 12), (0. 24±0. 06), (0. 20±0. 04), (0. 16±0. 03); SR value of total higher order aberrations 200’(0.70±0. 13), (0. 35±0. 07), (0. 27±0. 06), (0. 20±0.04 ) . The SR values of each group decreases with the increases of pupil diameters. The SR values of total aberrations and SR values of total higher - order aberrations at total corneals are negatively correlated with corresponding RMS value. When the pupil diameter is small, the SR value of total aberrations is more related to higher frequency region of MTF. When the pupil diameter is big, the SR value of total aberrations is more related to lower frequency region of MTF.
CONCLUSION: The visual performance of normal people can be well reflected by SR values of total aberrations and SR values of total higher - order aberrations at total corneal.
