Objective To observe influence of retinoic acid on the lung damage and expression of Connexin26(Cx26) of neonatal rats suffered from hyperoxia.Methods Twenty-four 3-day SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:retinoic acid+ hyperoxia,hyperoxia,air group;rats in the group of hyperoxia were suffered 7 days hyperoxia (the level of oxygen was above 950 mL/L),air group was instead of air.All rats were weighed,value of radical alveolar counts(RAC) and microstructure of the lungs were observed by HE staining under light and electron microscope respectively;and the expression of Cx26 in the lungs was determined by immunohistochemistry.Results Compared with air group,weight,value of RAC were both decreased obviously in hyperoxia,retinoic acid+hyperoxia groups[(13.53?1.27),(13.38?1.29),(17.37?0.89)g,F=30.19 P=0;11.15?1.33,12.49?1.47,13.94?0.98,F=9.59 P=0),while the expression of Cx26 increased [(13.68?1.28)%,(17.82?1.72)%,(19.69?1.77)%,F=29.36 P=0].Conclusion Retinoic acid has a protective effection from damaged lung of neonatal rats suffered from hyperoxia,and it may be related to the alteration of expression of Cx26 protein in the lungs.

Objective To realize the risk factors for postoperative healthcare-associated infection (HAI)in pa-tients undergoing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery,so as to take effective intervention measures and reduce the occurrence of HAI.Methods Prospective and retrospective survey were adopted to analyze the occur-rence of HAI and related risk factors for postoperative HAI in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery in 2013.Results Of 432 patients,58 developed 63 times of HAI,HAI rate was 13.43%,case infec-tion rate was 14.58%.The main infection sites were lower respiratory tract (57.14%)and surgical site (38.09%). 56 pathogenic strains were isolated,the major were Pseudomonas aeruginosa (46.43%),followed by Acinetobacter baumannii and Klebsiella pneumonia .Univariate analysis revealed that tracheotomy,length of hospital stay,opera-tive time,intraoperative antimicrobial use were risk factors for HAI in patients undergoing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery(all P <0.05).Conclusion The important measures for reducing HAI in patients undergo-ing oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor surgery are shortening the duration of surgery and length of hospital stay, taking active intervention,implementing hand hygiene,and using antimicrobial agents rationally.

Hepatic stem cells transplantation might be an important treatment strategy for patients with end stage liver diseases and related research has become a focus of recent studies.Hepatic stem cells of different sources have great therapeutic potential in clinical practice,but much research still need to be done before it can be used as a routine method in clinical practice. This review discusses the characteristics of hepatic stem cells and its role in liver regeneration after liver damage.

Objective To study the expression of liver X receptor (LXR) during the progress of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) caused by wound infection, and its role in the lipid metabolism during MODS. Method The MODS models caused by wound infection were produced. One hundred Wistar rats were randomly divided into wound group (group T, n = 30) and MODS caused by wound infection group (group M, n = SO). The closed multi-fracture and extensive soft-tissue injury was produced in rats using jaw. After 12 hours, a thirty percent total body surface area Ⅲ (TBSA Ⅲ ) bum was induced in group M,and the rats were contaminated by pseudomonas aeruginosa. The levels of endotoxin ( LPS), alanine transaminase (ALT), free fatty acid ( FFA), TG, HDL, VLDL were determined before injuries and post injuries 24, 48, 96, 120 hours, and at each time point in each group, only 10 rats were determined. And at the same tune, real-time quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction technique was used to measure the gene expression of LXR. Chi-square test was used. Results The blood ALT and LPS levels in rats were increased slowly, the levels of FFA reached peak at 96 hours post injuries (P ＜ 0.05), the level of TG increased first and then decreased to the lowest at 96 hours, HDL dropped slowly, and VLDL decreased first and then increased. The gene expression of LXR increased slightly at 24 hours and then gradually decreased in group T, and the gene expression of LXR decreased more obviously in group M, and there was significant difference compared with group T. Conclusions ALT increased slowly, and was positively correlated with IPS post injuries. This indicated that infection aggravated the liver injury. The gene expression of LXRα increased in the early stage and then decreased in the late stage, LPS and LXRα were negatively correlated, which may cause the change of LXRα. The decreased expression of LXRα during MODS may contribute to dysfunction of cholesterol transport and fatty acid synthesis.

Objective To evaluate the surgical effects of laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy in pigs and investigate the learning curve. Methods A total of 40 porcine cases of laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy were performed by a single surgical team from September 2012 to February 2013.According to the operation sequence, pigs were divided into 4 groups with 10 in each group.For analyzing the efficacy of surgery in different stages, the operation time and efficacy of anastomoses were compared between these groups. Results The operation was finished successfully in all the 40 cases.There were statistical significances in operation time among the four groups.The group Ⅳ had significant shorter time (112.7 ±8.3) min than those in the group Ⅰ [(145.1 ± 16.6) min, q=9.154, P<0.05], the groupⅡ[(133.0 ±8.7) min, q=5.735, P<0.05], and the group Ⅲ[(137.2 ±9.0) min, q=6.922, P<0.05], respectively.There was no difference between the group Ⅱ and the group Ⅰ in operation time (q=3.419, P>0.05), so as to other groups.The results of anastomoses among the four groups were not significantly different (χ2 =0.586,P=0.900). Conclusions Laparoscopic pancreaticojejunostomy in pigs is feasible.The learning curve of the operation is about 30 cases.

Objective To establish a RP-HPLC method for determination of the concentrations of dextromethorphan and its metabolites dextrorphan in human urine.Methods Phenacetine was used as internal standard,and the urine sample was hydrolyzed by enzyme,alkalified and extracted with hexane-butanol(91).The separation was carried out on DiamonsilTM C18 column(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with mobile phase of acetonitrile-1% triethylamine buffer solution(pH adjusted to 2.2 with H3PO4).Gradient elution was done for 0-15 min(20%-35% A).The flow rate was 1.0 ml/min.The detection wavelength was set at 280 nm and the column temperature was 40℃.Results The linear ranges of dextromethorphan and dextrorphan were 0.05-2.0 ?g/ml(r=0.999 9,n=5) and 0.5-20.0 ?g/ml(r=0.999 9,n=5),respectively,and their lowest detecting concentrations were 0.04 ?g/ml and 0.4 ?g/ml,respectively.The intra-day and inter-day precision were both less than 10%.The low,middle and high extraction recoveries were between 94%-108%.Conclusion Our method is accurate and sensitive,and is suitable for the CYP2D6 phenotype analysis and pharmacokinetic studies of dextromethorphan and its metabolites in human.
