Chinese Journal of Postgraduates of Medicine 2013;36(24):26-29
Objective To investigate the effects of different anesthesia methods on cerebral oxygen metabolism in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.Methods Forty-five patients with severe traumatic brain injury from March 2011 to March 2013 were divided into propofol intravenous anesthesia group(group A),sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia group(group B) and intravenous inhalational anesthesia group (group C) by random digits table method with 15 cases each.The mean artery pressure (MAP),heart rate (HR) before anesthesia,immediately after tracheal intubation,2 minutes after intubation,10 min and 30 min after operation set and operation end were observed.The oxygen content of jugular venous (SjvO2),jugular bulb venous oxygen content (Da-jvO2) and cerebral metabolic rate for oxygen (CERO2) before anesthesia induction,immediately finish anesthesia induction,30 min and 1 h after operation set and operatin end were calculated.Results The SjvO2 values in three groups were at 30 min,1 h after operation set and operation end was higher than that before anesthesia induction (group A:0.662 ±0.077,0.689 ±0.067,0.685 ±0.066 vs.0.623 ±0.083; group B:0.661 ±0.074,0.681 ±0.072,0.661 ±0.069 vs.0.598 ±0.092; group C:0.715 ± 0.072,0.743 ± 0.070,0.713 ± 0.075 vs.0.631 ± 0.078),and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).The Da-jvO2 values,CERO2 at 30 min,1 h after operation set and operation end was lower than that before anesthesia induction in three groups [group A:Da-jvO2:(41.2 ± 6.3),(41.6 ± 8.1),(44.2 ± 6.3) ml/L vs.(49.2 ± 9.2) ml/L,CERO2:(33.0 ± 1.9)%,(32.7 ± 2.0)%,(32.3 ± 1.9)% vs.(36.0 ±2.3)%; group B:Da-jvO2:(41.8 ± 5.6),(40.2 ± 6.9),(41.8 ± 5.6) ml/L vs.(51.3 ± 8.6) ml/L,CERO2:(33.2 ±2.1)%,(33.0 ±2.6)%,(32.8 ±2.1)% vs.(34.7 ±3.1)% ; group C:Da-jvO2:(39.5 ±6.8),(38.7 ±7.0),(40.2 ±6.8) ml/L vs.(48.8 ±9.7) ml/L,CERO2:(31.8 ±2.9)%,(31.5 ±3.1)%,(32.9 ±2.3)% vs.(35.1 ± 2.9)%],and there was significant difference (P < 0.05).And group C was decreased more significantly (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in MAP,HR among three groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Propofol intravenous anesthesia and sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia can effectively reduce perioperative cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen,and the balanced anesthesia has better cerebral protection with the stable hemodynamic.
2.Liraglutide, a human glucagon-like peptide-1 analogue, plays a role in reducing body weight in the patients with type 2 diabetes
Chinese Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism 2011;27(8):703-706
Obesity is associated with numerous metabolic abnormalities, including insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. Losing weight is an effective way of improving insulin sensitivity, thus decreasing the risk of obesityassociated diabetes and chronic cardiovascular disease. There is evidence that Liraglutide, as a human glucagon-like peptide-1 ( GLP-1 ) analogue, either using alone or combining with other glucose-lowering drugs, has effect on improving glycemic control, protecting β-cell function, and reducing body weight via inhibiting feeding behavior and delaying gastrointestinal motility. Therefore, liraglutide is a new option for treating type 2 diabetes patients.
3.Transcription factor AP-2 and its effect on cancer
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(10):723-726
AP-2,a nuclear transcription factor family,always binds to a typical DNA sequence in the dimer way,thus AP-2 can regulates the expression of many other genes and participate in the growth and devel-opment, apoptosis and many other physiological processes. Under pathological conditions, AP-2 also plays an im-portant role in tumor genesis and development by influencing cell proliferation, differentiation, cell cycle regula-tion and apoptosis. Recent years,many researchers want to find new therapeutic strategies that target AP-2 in a series of human cancers.
4.A comparison of misoprostol and ricnus oil meal for cervical ripening and labor induction
Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2008;15(5):767-768
Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of intravaginal prostaglandin E1, misoprostol with ricinus oil meal for labor induction. Methods 120 patients with an indication for induction of labor were randomly assigned to two groups (60 cases each) induction with misoprotol, 50μg intravaginally every 3 hours until active labor, or with that ricinus oil meal was taken. Results The time from start of intuction to vaginal deliery was significantly shorter than in the misoprostol group [(12.2±3.5)h vs (18.1±3.2)h] (P<0.05), and fewer patients in the misoprostol group required oxytocin augmentation (10% vs 40%, P<0.05). The mean change in the Bishop score was significantly higher than in those receiving misoprotol (5.5 vs 3.1, P<0.05). Uterine tachysystole occurred more frequently in patients in the misoprostol group (16.7%) than in the ricinus oil meal group (3.0%). No significant difference was noted in the mode of delivery and patients of successful labor induction. Conclusion Vaginally administered misoprostol is an effective agent for the cervical ripening and induction of labor.
5.The repair mechanisms and protection strategy of hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(6):579-581
Hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal is a common complication after the clinical high oxygen therapy. There is not specific and effective prevention and treatment. Recent research suggests that many factor play an important role in the repair and protection of hyperoxia-induced lung injury in neonatal, such as growth factor, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells,erythropoietin, anti-chemokine and anti-oxidation. The article reviews the molecular systems mechanisms in the pathologic process of hyperroxia-induced lung injury in neonatal.
6.1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3 and autoimmune diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(6):625-627
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 plays a role in the regulation of T cells, B cells, macrophages,dendritic cells,and keratinocytes. 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 is linked to many autoimmune diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis,juvenile diabetes, Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis. It may have potential as a treatment for autoimmune diseases, however, additional research will focus on better quantify dosage and course of treatment.
7.Progress in pathogenesis of childhood acute leukemia
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(4):368-371
Acute leukemia is one of the most common cancers among children.The biological mechanisms leading to leukemia have not been fully clarified until now.Experiments were improved that most patients developing acute leukemia had abnormal chromosomes,including TEL/AML-l,BCR/ABL,PML/RAR-α fusion genes,which would be potential clinical biomarkers.Many genetic polymorphisms have effect on acute lymphoblastic leukemia susceptibility,which were containing genes involved in folate metabolism pathways,cytochrome P450,glutathione-S-transferase enzymes and quinone oxidoreductase-1.As the results of the studies,alcohol,tobacco,TNF-α and IFN-γ might be risk factors to the disease.Furthermore infection and IRF-3 were reported to reduce the occurrence of acute leukemia.Finally,as more is learned about the molecular pathology,it may be possible to develop new therapeutic agents which are specifically targeted to treat childhood acute leukemia.
8.Th17 cells and diseases
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(4):416-418
Thl7 cells represent a new subset of CD4+ effector T cells which constitute the main subsets of CD4 T cells together with Th1,Th2 and Treg ce1ls.IL-17 is the main secretory product of Th17 cells,which plays important regulatory roles in autoimmune diseases,infectious diseases and tumors.Therefore,Th17 cells and related cytokines may provide promising targets and approaches for the treatment of diseases.
9.Survey and analysis of professional image of practical nurses in patients
Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2010;26(12):3-4
Objective To investigate the evaluation of professional image of practical nurses in hospi -talization patients, and put forward consideration and recommendation of the professional image construction of practical nurses. Methods A total of 580 in - patients from 2 hospitals were surveyed by self- administrated questionnaires, to understand the professional image of practical nurses in them. Results 25.2% of patients thought that the practice nurses' service qualities didn't meet the standards expected. Most patients considered that the training of nursing technique, language communication and occupational etiquette for nurses should be strengthened. Conclusions There is a gap between professional image of practical nurses and the patients' expectations. Practical nurses need to culture the professional level, language communication skills and professional etiquette.
