Objective To observe the changes of pleth variability index ( PVI) and central venous pressure ( CVP) in patients undergo-ing resection operation of brain neoplasms,and the correlation of PVI with CVP was investigated. Methods Forty-two patients ( ASA Ⅱ~Ⅲ grade) undergoing elective resection operation of brain neoplasms were included in the study. PVI was monitored continously with Masio Radical-7 pulse oximeter after patient entering operative room. CVP was monitored after central venous catheterization placed with regional an-esthesia. Total intravenous anesthesia was chosen. CVP and PVI were recorded at the time of entering operative room,operation began,and 30 minutes,60 minutes,90 minutes,120 minutes after the beginning of operation. Results The correlation coefficient of PVI with CVP was 0. 201 under spontaneously breathing ( at patient entering operative room before anesthesia) and was 0. 237 under mechanical ventilation. Conclusion Correlation of PVI and CVP is lower. The value of PVI might need further research for guiding volume management.

Objective To study the antiviral effects of SJ-GAG on herpes simplex virus Ⅰ(HSV-Ⅰ) in vitro as well as its protective effect on infected mice.Methods The Vero cells were exposed to HSV-Ⅰ SM44 and different concentrations of SJ-GAG,respectively.Cytopathic effect(CPE) was observed and qunatitative PCR was used to evaluate the antiviral effect of SJ-GAG.In vivo experiment,the mice were infected with HSV1 intracranial vaccination and followed SJ-GAG intragastric administration 4h later to test the protection of SJ-GAG on HSV1 infected mice.Results When the concentration of SJ-GAG was above 1.6mg?mL-1,it showed cytotoxicity.When the concentration was among 0.25~0.2mg?mL-1,it expressed marked antiviral effect without cytotoxicity.SJ-GAG could prolong the survival duration of infected mice and decrease the mortality rate significantly.The protection of SJ-GAG showed a dose-effect relationship.Conclusion SJ-GAG has antiviral effect and shows some protective effect on HSV-1 infected mice.

Objective:A study was conducted to determine the expression of acetyl-coa carboxylase product of phosphorylation (P-ACC) and an enzyme called cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2) in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) tissue, as well as the relationship and correlations between tumor size, lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, and pathological type. Methods: Sixty-two patients with NSCLC lung cancer tissues were included in the patient group, whereas 20 patients who underwent lobectomy for other reasons and had normal lung tissues were included in the control group. Immunohistochemical streptavidin peroxidase method was used to detect the expression of P-ACC and COX-2 in lung cancer and normal lung tissues. Results:The positive expressions of P-ACC and COX-2 in NSCLC lung cancer and normal lung tissues were significantly different (P<0.05). In NSCLC tissues, the positive expression of P-ACC was significantly associated with tumor size (P<0.05), but was not significantly associated with lymph node metastasis, clinical stage, and pathological type. We found no correlation between the positive expression of COX-2 and tumor size, lymph node metasta-sis, clinical stage and pathological type. Further analysis revealed that the positive expression of P-ACC and COX-2 in NSCLC was sig-nificantly and negatively correlated (r=-2.37, P=0.032). Conclusion:The positive expression of COX-2 in NSCLC greatly increased compared with that of P-ACC, and a significantly negative correlation was observed between them. We propose that the positive expres-sion of P-ACC reduction may activate the positive expression of COX-2 and promote the occurrence, development, invasion, and metas-tasis of NSCLC.

Objective To observe the leading effect of end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide in artery ( PET CO2 ) on mechanical ventila-tion in New Zealand white rabbits, and to establish parameters for medical animal experiments in terms of hemodynamics, blood gas, blood glucose, electrolyte. Methods 31 anesthetized New Zealand rabbits were practiced tracheostomy tube and mechanical ventilation. Respira-tion rate was 40 breaths/min and tidal volume was adjusted so that PET CO2 was 29 mmHg. Invasive blood pressure, electrocardiogram and PET CO2 were monitored. Blood gas analysis, electrolyte, hemoglobin and blood glucose were tested. Results When PET CO2 was maintained at 29 mmHg, the results were as follows:PH (7.42 ±0.07), 95% confidenceinterval (7.40~7.45);PaCO2(38.5 ±5.8) mmHg, 95%confidenceinterval (36. 4~40. 6) mmHg;BE (1. 45 ± 2. 80) mmol/L,95% confidenceinterval (0. 43~2. 48) mmHg. Conclusion Moni-toring of PET CO2 is good to guide mechanical ventilation in New Zealand white rabbits.

Dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) is an important regulator of plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels, which are associated with insulin resistance in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To elucidate the role of hepatic DDAH1 in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, we used hepatocyte-specific Ddah1-knockout mice (Ddah1HKO) to examine the progress of high-fat diet (HFD)-induced NAFLD. Compared to diet-matched flox/flox littermates (Ddah1f/f), Ddah1HKO mice exhibited higher serum ADMA levels. After HFD feeding for 16 weeks, Ddah1HKO mice developed more severe liver steatosis and worse insulin resistance than Ddah1f/f mice. On the contrary, overexpression of DDAH1 attenuated the NAFLD-like phenotype in HFD-fed mice and ob/ob mice. RNA-seq analysis showed that DDAH1 affects NF-κB signaling, lipid metabolic processes, and immune system processes in fatty livers. Furthermore, DDAH1 reduces S100 calcium-binding protein A11 (S100A11) possibly via NF-κB, JNK and oxidative stress-dependent manner in fatty livers. Knockdown of hepatic S100a11 by an AAV8-shS100a11 vector alleviated hepatic steatosis and insulin resistance in HFD-fed Ddah1HKO mice. In summary, our results suggested that the liver DDAH1/S100A11 axis has a marked effect on liver lipid metabolism in obese mice. Strategies to increase liver DDAH1 activity or decrease S100A11 expression could be a valuable approach for NAFLD therapy.
