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.

Objective To investigate the thyroid structure changes using a high-frequency sonography and thyroid dysfunction in end-stage renal failure(ESRF) patients.Methods From Jan.2012 to Apr.2012,50 ESRF patients and 55 consecutive outpatients(nonthyroid diseases visitors)as normal controls were included in the study.The size of thyroid gland was measured with ultrasonography and the volume was calculated.The internal echo changes and status of nodules were observed.Measurement such as thyroid hormones,parathyroid hormones and renal function were performed all patients.Results The serum level of T3,FT3 in ESRF patients were significantly lower than those of the control patients(1.05 ±0.23 mg/ml vs 1.14 ±0.25 pg/ml,P =0.038;3.1 ± 0.41 pg/ml vs 3.31 ±0.57 pg/ml,P =0.029),while the serum level of TSH was significandy higher in ESRF group than in the control group (3.29 ± 1.77 mIU/L vs 2.37 ± 0.67 mIU/L,P =0.001).Ultrasonography showed that 32％ (16/50) of ESRF patients and 3.6％ (2/55) of the controls had thyroid goiter (P ＜ 0.001).Compared to ESRF patients without nodules,the average age was significantly higher in patients with nodules (52.94 ± 14.21 vs 42.32 ± 11.37,P =0.006).Conclusion ESRF patients tend to have a higher incidence of alteration of thyroid function and nodular goiter which can be effectively assessed by ultrasonography.

Objective: To discuss the possibility of using arc incision in the frontal neck for local-regional lymph excision in differentiated thyroid carcinoma of stage Ⅰand Ⅱ.Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on the results of the treatment of 56 cases of differentiated thyroid cancer in stage Ⅰand Ⅱ treated by thyroid lobectomy+isthmectomy+local-regional lymph nodes dissection.Results:Of all the 56 patients,only 2 developed postoperative complications,2 had cervical lymph nodes metastases after the operation,and none died.Conclusion: Arc incision in the frontal neck for lymphadenectomy of the central compartment could be applied as a routine treatment of differentiated thyroid carcinoma in stage Ⅰand Ⅱ.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a newly discovered class of endogenous,evolutionarily conserved small noncoding RNAs involved in posttranscriptional gene regulation. Functionally speaking,miRNAs act as key regulators in a wide variety of biological processes,including cell proliferation,cell differentiation,apoptosis,metabolism,developmental timing,signal transduction and tumor. Recent publications have provided compelling evidence that a range of miRNAs are involved in the regulation of immunity,including the innate immunity,proliferation of monocytes and neutrophils,the development and differentiation of B and T cells,infection and immunity,and the release of inflammatory mediators. In this review,we examine what is presently known of the function and mechanism of these miRNAs in the regulation of the innate and acquired immune response.

AIM: To study protective effects and mechanism of heat shock response (HSR) on cardiovascular system in rats after heat exposure. METHODS: The study was divided into 2 experiments: ① Protective effects of HSR on cardiovascular system in rats after heat exposure. SD rats randomly allocated into 2 groups: heat shock group (HS group), sham control group (SC group). HS group were treated with heat shock, but SC group weren't. After recovering for 20 h at room temperature, two groups exposed to death in thermal environment, and blood pressure and electrocardiogram were measured continuously. Through Chart software mean arterial pressure(MAP), existent time etc were acquired. ② SD male rats randomly allocated into 3 groups: HS group, SC group and normal temperature control group (NC group). NC group weren't treated. The treatment in HS and SC group was identical with in the first experiment, but it would be terminated at 73 min after heat exposure, meanwhile content of MDA of myocardium were measured. RESULTS: ① Existent time in HS group was longer than that in SC group and shock arrived later; ② During earlier period after heat exposure MAP had no significant changes between HS and SC group, but after 60 mins MAP in HS group were higher than that in SC group; ③ Compared with NC group, content of MDA in myocardium in SC group was higher significantly at 73 min after heat exposure. Howerer, content of MDA in HS group was lower than in SC group, and had no significant changes with NC group. CONCLUSION:Through decreasing production of MDA in myocardium, HSR has a protective effect on cardiovascular system in rats after heat exposure.

Objective To explore the effect of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT)scan parameters and imaging post-processing methods on metallic artifacts,so as to achieve the perfection in reduction of artifacts caused by metallic implants.Methods Water phantom with titanium alloy steel plate was scanned under MDCT with alternating scan parameters including tube voltage, tube current,pitch and focal spot.The areas of image artifacts were measured and correlated with the scan parameters.Another 1 5 postoperative patients with vertebral implantation scaned with the conventional scan parameters were also included in the study.Ima-ging post-processing including multi-planar reconstruction (MPR),window width and level adjustment,and volume rendering tech-nique (VRT)was performed by using optimized and conventional methods,respectively,and then the image quality was evaluated. Results The areas of image artifacts under the differnt tube voltage,pitch,and focal spot were statistically different.With the in-crease of the tube voltage or the decrease of the pitch,the area of image artifacts decreased gradually.The area of image artifacts scanned with the small focal spot was smaller than the large one.There was no significant difference for the area of image artifacts scanned with the different tube currents.The metallic artifacts decreased by using the soft tissue algorithm (Kernel B40f)in the bone window reconstruction,wide windows (2 000 HU window width,600 HU window level)in observing,and VRT.Conclusion Selection of appropriate MDCT scan parameters and imaging post-processing methods can reduce the metal artifacts,improve the image quality and diagnosis.
