Objective In order to study the etiology and the hearing status of the deaf students in Hubei province, a survey was carried out from April 1999 to June 2000.Methods A total number of 813 deaf students in Hubei province were examined with audiometer and investigated through questionnaire. The pedigress analysis was conducted in deaf students with family history.Results The pedigrees of 227 familes with deafness were obtained, the inheritance pattern of 167 families could be ascertained. 232(28.5%) deaf students were diagnosed congenital deafness, 581 (71.5%) students were diagnosed acquired deafness. The degrees of deafness could be ascertained with 359(44.1%) students of profound deafness, 323(39.7%) students of severe deafness, 111(13.7%) students with moderate to severe deafness, 11(1.4%) students of moderate deafness, and 9(1.1%) students of mild deafness.Conclusion The hearing loss of deaf students is very serious, and genetic factor and ototoxic antibiotics were a principal causation in the occurrence of deafness.

This paper reports the technique to develop a disposable screen-printing base carbon electrode for the utilization in the study of enzyme electrode. The silk fibroin was applied to immobilize the mushroom extracted protein, which contained abundant polyphenol oxidase, on the surface of base electrode when it was chemically moldified by ferrocene. The voltammetric current of this enzyme electrode responded to the concentration of substrate such as catechol or dopamine. The linear range is from 2.0× 10-8 mol/L to 2.0× 10-2 mol/L, it reaches to a 95%steady value of current within less than 30 seconds, and the RSD equals to 2.7%. The service life of this enzyme electrode is at least 10 days and it will be preserved for a longer period at a humid and cool condition. All of these performances of the enzyme electrode make clear that its commercial development would be very possible.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine on the minimum alveolar concentration of sevoflurane for blunting responses to skin incision ( MACBAR ) in patients undergoing lower abdominal surgery. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 25-55 yr, weighing 45-75 kg, undergoing electire lower abdominal surgery under general anesthesia, were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 15 each): control group (Do group) and 3 dexmedetomidine groups (D1, D2 and D3 groups). The patients were unpremedicated.Dexmedetomidine was not used in group D0. A loading dose of dexmedetomidine 0.1μg/kg was injected iv over 10 min, and then dexmedetomidine was infused at a rate of 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 μg· kg- 1 · h - 1 for 30 min in groups D1-3 respectively. Anesthesia was induced with inhalation of 8 % sevoflurane. Laryngeal mask airway was inserted when BIS value decreased to 45-55. The patients were mechanically ventilated with inhalation of sevoflurane and a mixture of 50% nitrous oxide and 50% oxygen, and the fresh gas flow was set at 1 L/min. In D0-3 groups, the initial end-tidal concentrations of sevoflurane were 3.0%, 2.5%, 2.0% and 1.5% respectively. The patients' response to skin incision was described as effective if MR or MAP increased by ＜ 15%, or ineffective (MR or MAP increased by ≥ 15%). When the response was effective, the end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane was decreased in the next patient, when ineffective, increased, and the ratio between the two successive concentrations was 0.9.The MRCBAR of sevoflurane was determined by up-and-down method, and 95% confidence interval was calculated.Results The MRCBAR (95% confidence interval) of sevoflurane was 2.85% (2.44%-3.32%), 1.91%(1.61%-2.26%), 1.52% (1.31%-1.77%), and 1.34% (1.15%-1.57%)in D0-3 groups respectively. The MRCBAR of sevoflurane was significantly lower in D1-3 groups than in D0 group, and in D2 and D3 groups than in group D1 (P ＜0.05＝. There was no significant difference in MRCBAR of sevoflurane between D2 and D3 groups (P ＞0.05) .ConclusionContinuous infusion of dexmedetomidine at 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 for 30 min results in a decrease in MACBAR of sevoflurane and enhances the inhibitory effect of sevoflurane on the stress response, and in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate sevoflurane inhalation and propofol combined with ketamine total venous anesthesia in pediatric laparoscopic surgery of oblique inguinal hernia.Methods Seventy ASA Ⅰ children were randomly divided into two groups,35 children in every group.Children in group S were appliedsevoflurane inhalation[the minimum alveolar concentration(MAC)of sevoflurane was 1.0-1.5],children in group PK were applied ketamine inhalation and total venous anesthesia of propofol[80μg/(kg·min)]with ketamine[20μg/(kg·min)].Compared the time of anesthesia induction,tracheal catheter extubation,anesthesia recovery between the two groups.The mean arterial pressure(MAP),heart rate,pulse oxygen saturation(SpO_2)during anesthesia were compared.During 2 days after operation,the adverse effects such as nausea and vomit,lower grade of sleep quality were also compared.Results Compared with group PK,the time of anesthesia induction,tracheal catheter extubation and anesthesia recovery in group S were shorter (P<0.05),the incidence of emergence agitation in group S was higher(20.0%,7/35 vs 2.9%,1/35)(P<0.05).But nausea(17.1%,6/35),vomit(31.4%,11/35)and lower grade of sleep quality(54.3%,19/35)were higher in group PK than those in groups(all 2.9%,1/35)at 1 day after operation(P<0.05).The incidence of lower grade of sleep quality at2 days after operation in group PK(14.3%,5/35)was higher than that in group S(0)(P<0.05).Cardiovascular effects of children,such as MAP and heart rate during the period of tracheal catheter extubation in group S was higher than that in group PK.Conclusion Sevoflurane inhalation and propofol combined with ketamine total venous anesthesia in pediatric laparoscopic surgery of oblique inguinal hernia still has some disadvantages,the anesthesia technology is selected by anesthesia method and medicine combination.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of low-dose heparin in the treament of children with primary nephrotic syndrome (PNS). Methods It was an open and comparative trial. Eightyeight children with PNS in the hypercoagulable state,on the basis of administrating with glucocorticosteroid,were administrated with low-dose heparin that infused by micro pump oriented to time ( group A). Eighty patients only treated with glucocorticosteroid were chosen as control (group B). Results Serum-albumin and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) increased,but fibrinogen (Fib) decreased after therapy in the group A,and they all showed significant differences (P ＜ 0. 01 ). Serum-albumin increased after therapy in the group B and there was significant difference (P＜0. 01 ). However,APTT and Fib in the group B showed no significant difference( P ＞ 0. 05 ) between post-treatment and pretherapy. Post-treatment serum-albumin and APTT in the group A were significantly higher than those in group B, and Fib was significantly lower than that in group B ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The rate of urine protein remission in group A (82/88) was significantly higher than that in group B (63/80). Urine protein remission time and edema disappearance time were significantly shorter in group A than group B ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). APTT of group A at the peak concentration of heparin after therapy was significantly higher than that of pretherapy ( P ＜ 0. 01 ), and the ratio was 2. 38. However, there was no significant difference in APTT at the valley concentration of heparin between post-treatment and pretherapy ( P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion Low dose-heparin infused by micro pump oriented to time in the treatment of children with PNS has an obvious anticoagulative effect. It can improve the rate of urine protein remission and shorten edema disappearance time. Meanwhile it is safety ,requires no laboratory monitor and has few drug side effects,thus it deserves further clinical application.

Background and purpose:The morbidity and mortality of lung cancer are currently the highest malignant tumor in China and the world. Most onset age of the illness is after 60 years old. Therefore, surgical resection of lung cancer in the elderly is very worthy of concern. This study aimed to investigate the clinical features, epidemic characteristics and conditions in perioperative period between the elderly and middle-aged patients with lung cancer, and provide the reference for clinical treatment.Methods:Totally 1 019 patients with lung cancer who were admitted to the hospital and accepted the operations in department of thoracic surgery in Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital from Jan. 2007 to Dec. 2012 were analysed retrospectively. The clinical data including gender, pathological type, TNM stage, intraoperative amount of bleeding and post-operative length of hospitalization were compared.Results:There was a signiifcant difference in sexual factors between these two groups (P?0.05), and compared with the middle-aged group, the proportion of male was more higher in the elderly group (76.91%vs 52.81%). Adenocarcinoma was the most common and squamous carcinoma was the next in both two groups. The constituent ratio of the pathlogical type between the elderly group and the middle-aged group was statistically signiifcant (P?0.05). The squamous carcinoma in the elderly group was higher than that in the middle-aged group (37.5%vs 15.6%). On the contrary, adenocarcinoma was more common in the middle-aged group (72.8%vs 50.7%). StagesⅡa,Ⅱb, andⅢa were more common in the elderly group and stagesⅠa, andⅠb were the most clinical stage in the middle-aged group. The clinical stage between two groups was statistically significant (P?0.05).The intraoperative amount of bleeding was higher and the post-operative length of hospitalization was longer in the elderly group, with a signiifcant difference as compared with that in the middle-aged group(P?0.05). And there was a signiifcant difference in incidence of accompanying diseases between the two groups, compared with the middle-aged group, the proportion of accompanying diseases was more higher in the elderly group(58.6%vs42.3%).Conclusion:Elderly patients with lung cancer are more common in males, with adenocarcinoma being the most common. The cancer mostly belongs to a medium or advanced stage. Elderly patients have the trend with more amount of bleeding in operation and lengh of stay.

BACKGROUND:Artificial knee joint replacement in older patients often combines with basic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes. Perioperative blood loss is an important factor affecting the safety of replacement. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of the early closure of drainage tube on blood loss after primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: We randomly selected 90 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2014 to July 2015. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (n=30). In the 4-hour occlusion group, the drainage tube was closed for 4 hours in early stage of replacement. In the 2-hour occlusion group, the drainage tube was closed for 2 hours in early stage of replacement. In the control group, the drainage tube was not closed. Because of the use of tourniquet during surgery, the amount of intraoperative blood loss was considered as 0 mL. Drainage blood loss after surgery was recorded. Total blood loss was calculated according to Gross formula through patient height, weight and preoperative and postoperative hematocrit. Hidden blood loss was gotten by subtracting the visible blood loss from total loss. Under the observation of postoperative joint sweling and subcutaneous ecchymosis, knee Hospital for Special Surgery score was recorded at 6 weeks after replacement, and compared among groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Statistical analysis indicated that significant differences in total blood loss and dominant blood loss were detected among the three groups (P < 0.05), indicating that both occlusion for 2 hours and 4 hours could reduce total blood loss and dominant blood loss, but the range of reduction was greater in occlusion for 4 hours. At 6 months after replacement, no significant difference in knee Hospital for Special Surgery score and hidden blood loss was detectable among three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of joint sweling and subcutaneous ecchymosis was increased in the 4-hour occlusion group (P < 0.05). Above results confirmed that drainage tube occlusion can decrease total blood loss and dominant blood loss after total knee arthroplasty, but cannot reduce hidden blood loss. 2-hour occlusion after total knee arthroplasty is an ideal choice, but the amount of hidden blood loss should be carefuly considered.
