1.Radioactive 125I interstitial brachytherapy damages to intestinal tract tissue and protection research pro-gress
Journal of International Oncology 2008;35(6):453-455
Radioactive 125I interstitial brachytherapy is easy to cause the intestinal tract tissue damage.Its mechanism possibly correlates to the quick renewal speed of the intestinal tract tissue and a majority of ceils in M, G2 and late S phases. The tolerant dose of intestinal tract tissue is approximately 160 Gy. If the absorbed dose is higher than the tolerant one, the intestinal tract tissue will be damaged. In the clinical practice of radio-active 125I interstitial brachytherapy, through the strict plan of the TPS system before the operation, by using ul-trasound, CT, MR/and other imaging technologies in the operating process and establishing the suitable barrier protection between the seeds and intestinal tract tissue, the radioactive damage of the intestinal tract tissue my be reduced.

Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(09):-
Aim To investigate the effect taurine on ischemia-induced neuron apoptosis and its mechanisms. Methods Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). After 6 h permanent MCAO, mRNA expressions of Caspase-3/8 of rat brain were detected with real-time quantitative reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (real-time QRT-PCR). Oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) was used to induce an in vitro ischemia model. Primarily cultured cortical neurons were exposed to 4 h OGD. Intracellular calcium concentrations([Ca~(2+)]_i) was measured with fluorescent Ca~(2+) sensitive probe fura 2 acetoxylmethyl ester (Fura 2/AM). Neuronal apoptosis was assayed with flow cytometry of FITC-annexinV/propidium iodide binding 24 h after OGD. Results mRNA expressions of Caspase-3/8 were upregulated in MCAO model. [Ca~(2+)]_i and neuronal apoptosis were markedly increased in OGD model. Taurine pretreatment reduced the upregulation of mRNA expression of Caspase-3/8 in vivo and ameliorated calcium overload and neuronal apoptosis in vitro. Conclusion Taurine has neuroprotective effect against ischema-induced neuronal apoptosis. This is partly due to its effects on Caspase-3/8 and [Ca~(2+)]_i

AIM To observe the protective effect of taurine on focal cerebral ischemia in rats. METHODS Male SD rats were divided at random into three groups, i.e. sham-operated, control and treatment group respectively. Before ischemia impairment, taurine(250 mg?kg -1?d -1)was administrated ip for one week in treatment group. A nylon suture was inserted into internal carotid artery to occlude the beginning of middle cerebral artery(MCAO). After 3 h permanent occlusion, neurology deficit score was evaluated. At 6 h, all animals were decapitated rapidly to get brain tissue. Brain infarct region was stained by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium(TTC) and the size was measured by AUTOCAD. Contents of malondialdehyde(MDA) and nitric oxide synthase(NOS) and activity of superoxide dismetase(SOD) in brain tissue were detected by spectrophotometer. Expressions of iNOS and inter-cellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were observed through immunohistochemistry method. RESULTS Compared with the control group:Taurine can ameliorate neurological deficit score and decrease infarct volume induced by MCAO. Taurine improved the activity of SOD, but did not affect NOS activity in the infarct without affecting MDA content after 6 h MCAO. Taurine decreased the positive expression of ICAM-1 significantly in brain slice. CONCLUSION The results suggest that taurine may reduce expression of ICAM-1 and improve activity of SOD, and play an neuroprotective effect against middle cerebral artery occulusion.

AIM Taurine was reported neuroprotective under several ischemic models in vivo. In this study, the direct effect of taurine against oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) inducing acute neuronal injury and the underlying mechanisms in vitro were investigated. METHODSFour hours OGD was used to induce in vitro ischemic injury in rat cortical neurons. Taurine 5, 10 and 20 mmol·L-1 was added 20 h before and during 4 h OGD period respectively. Mortality rate of neuron was assayed by MTT and flow cytometry methods. Level of neuronal [Ca2+]i was detected by Fura 2/AM loading. Amino acid concentrations in culture media were measured by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS Under OGD conditions, neuronal death was markedly increased, and the levels of neuronal [Ca2+]i and extracellular glutamate level were enhanced obviously. Taurine pretreatment obviously decreased the percentage of neuronal death induced by OGD. In addition, abnormal elevation of neuronal [Ca2+]i and extracellular glutamate level induced by OGD both were markedly repressed by taurine. CONCLUSION Taurine can alleviate rat cortical neuron injury induced by OGD, the mechanisms were likely due to repressing calcium overload and inhibiting excessive release or leakage of glutamate under such conditions.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of the conscious analgesia/sedation scheme with remifentanil and propofol on the elderly patients under gastroenterological endoscopic procedure. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 3 500 cases with remifentanil and small?dose propofol under gastroenterological endoscopic procedures, and the procedure achievement, effects of the narcotic, adverse reactions and satisfactory results were summarized. Results All procedures were completed successfully. The ratio of the patients whose intended sedation depth arrived at referential induction was up to 91?3%(3 196/3 500).Hemodynamic change was slight and almost all patients could open eyes in no time, with short hospital stay. No serious adverse effects were observed except several patients complaining about mild bucking, abdominal distension and stomachache. The degree of patients′ satisfaction was high. Conclusion The conscious analgesia/sedation scheme with remifentanil and propofol can be effectively and safely used on gastroenterological endoscopic procedure among the elderly, but precise monitor and timely treatment of complications are still needed.
