Objective To evaluate the effect of probucol combined with simvastatin on blood levels of oxidied low density lipoprotein (ox-LDL) and inflammatory factors in acute stage of cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 122 patients with acute stage of cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two groups:observation group ( n = 62),and control group( n = 60). After two weeks of follow-up ,the levels of high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hsCRP) ,oxLDL ,fibrinogen ( FIB ), interleukin 6 (IL-6) and blood lipids were detected. The side effect was recorded and the difference between two groups was analyzed. At 7 d and 14 d, curative effects were evaluated by standard scale of clinical neurological deficit. Results Compared with the control group, 2weeks after the medication, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol( LDL-C), apolipoprotein B ,ox-LDL, IL-6 and hsCRP were significantly decreased in the observation group (P <0.01 ). Conclusion The treafment of probucol combined with simvastatin could reduce the levels of ox-LDL and inflammatory factors in acute stage of cerebral infarction, and prevent hemorrhagic transformation and recurrence of cerebral in farction.

Nuclear factor-E2 related factor 2 (Nrf2)can protect the normal cells from the damage of oxidants and electrophones,preventing tumorigenesis and metastasis.However,the abnormal activation of Nrf2 in tumor cells can lead to tumor development.Chemicals acting on Nrf2 pathway include activators and inhibi-tors,Nrf2 inhibitors can increase the chemosensitivity of the tumor,providing a new idea for the drug design of high-efficiency and low-toxicity.

Objective To study the risk factors for failure of INSURE strategy in very and extremely low birth weight preterm (V/ELBW) infants.Method From January 2005 to December 2014,clinical data of 149 preterm infants (gestational age less than 32 weeks) admitted to neonatal department of Tongji Hospital who received intubation-surfactant-extubation (INSURE) strategy were collected.These infants were assigned into two groups:INSURE failure group and INSURE success group,according to whether a second dose of surfactant or mechanical ventilation was needed within 72 hours after first pulmonary surfactant treatment.The clinical characteristics and outcomes between the two groups were compared.Chi square and t tests were used to define the differences between groups.Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the independent risk factors for INSURE failure.Result Among the 1 149 patients,148 received INSURE treatment,and 113 cases (76.4％) were successfully treated with the INSURE strategy.The infants in the failure group were statistically lower in birth weight,gestation age,antenatal steroids utilization rate,PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 than those in the success group,while the age of mother,male/female ratio and PaCO2 were higher in the failure group.Logistic regression analysis showed that male (OR =7.440,95％ CI 1.846 ～29.984),BW ＜ 1 000 g (OR =9.180,95％ CI 1.716 ～49.105),PaCO2 ＞48 mmHg (OR =5.996,95％ CI 2.088 ～ 17.213),PaO2/FiO2 ＜205 (OR =3.010,95％ CI 1.033 ～8.774) were independent risk factors for INSURE failure.Conclusion INSURE strategy failure was associated with gender,birth weight,gestation age,antenatal steroids utilization,PaO2,PaCO2 and PaO2/FiO2 of the first blood gas after birth.BW ＜ 1 000 g,PaCO2 ＞ 48 mmHg and PaO2/FiO2 ＜ 205 of the first blood gas after birth were independent risk factors for INSURE strategy failure.

A fluorescence nanosensor based on an easily prepared fluorescent molecule, 1-oxo-1H-phenalene-2,3-dicarbonitrile (OPD), was developed for highly sensitive detection of glucose.Under the catalysis of horseradish peroxidase (HRP), 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) was oxidized into oxidized TMB (oxTMB) by H2O2.And the fluorescence of OPD was quenched by the intense absorption of the formed oxTMB, thus realizing effective quantitative detection of H2O2.The linear range was 0.05-0.8 μmol/L and 1-10 μmol/L respectively, with limit of detection of 0.02 μmol/L.Besides, on the basis of transformation of glucose into H2O2 through the catalysis of glucose oxidase, this nanosensor could be further exploited for highly sensitive detection of glucose.The TMB-HRP-OPD sensor exhibited linear range of 0.1-3.0 μmol/L and 4.0-30 μmol/L respectively for detection of glucose, with limit of detection of 0.02 μmol/L.Furthermore, it was successfully applied to the determination of glucose in real human serum and the results were in good agreement with the clinical data.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of laparoscopic radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy was performed in 8 cases from Febrary 2005 to April 2005,including radical distal gastrectomy in 6 cases,radical total gastrectomy in 1 case,and radical proximal gastrectomy in 1 case.Results All the 8 patients underwent laparoscopic radical gastrectomy smoothly and no conversion to open surgery was required.The operation time was 340?62 minutes in radical distal gastrectomy,was 362 minutes in radical proximal gastrectomy,and 423 minutes in radical total gastrectomy.The intraoperative blood loss was 100～250 ml(mean,140 ml) in radical distal gastrectomy,300 ml in radical total gastrectomy,and 170 ml in radical proximal gastrectomy.No blood transfusion was needed.The number of havested lymph nodes was 18～37(mean,23).No surgical-related complications occurred.The time to first flatus was 38～56 hours(mean,42.4 hours),and the time to liquid diet was 2～5 days(mean,2.5 days).All the 8 cases were followed for 12～14 months postoperatively and no recurrence or metastasis was observed.Conclusions Laparoscopic radical gastrectomy is a feasible technique for patients with gastric cancer at early stage or early progressive stage.

Objective: To investigate the diagnostic value of 64 multislice spiral CT (64-MSCT) and 1.5T MRI in nurseling with congenital vascular rings.
Methods:We retrospectively studied the diagnostic records of 64-MSCT and 1.5T MRI in 48 nurseling with congenital vascular rings. There were 42 cases received CTA, 12 received MRA and 6 received both CTA and MRA. We classiifed the types of vascular rings by Edwards sketch map of aortic arch embryonic development and trachea wrapping conditions. The diagnostic values of 64-MSCT and 1.5T MRI on vascular rings were compared.
Results: There were 25 patients with complete vascular rings including 3 of double aortic arch, 12 right aortic arch with left subclavian artery and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), 9 combining with arterial ligament, 1 neck right aortic arch with left subclavian artery combining left PDA;and 23 patients with in-complete vascular rings including 2 pulmonary artery sling, 9 left aortic arch with right subclavian artery combining left PDA, 10 combining with arterial ligament, 1 right aortic arch with left subclavian artery combining right PDA, 1 with innominate artery compressed trachea. There were 32/48 patients combined with cardiac malformations, both 64-MSCT and 1.5T MRI may well reveal the composition and special relationship of vessel rings. The minimum intensity projection (MinIP) and air volume rendering (VR) of 64-MSCT may clearly display the morphology and development of trachea, image fusion technique could directly show the special relationships among vascular rings, trachea and esophagus. While 1.5T MRI was relatively poor to present tracheal image.
Conclusion: 64-MSCT could accurately and comprehensively display the special relationships among the vessels rings, trachea and esophagus;which was the best method for diagnosing the nurseling with vessel rings in clinical practice.

ObjectiveTo investigate the influence of internal sphincter deletions on postoperative fecal incontinence in rectal cancer patients after intersphincteric resection (ISR). MethodsSeventy one cases of rectal tumour were respectively treated by low anterior resection (group A, intact internal sphincter),partial ISR (group B,1/3 internal sphincter deletion),subtotal ISR (group C,2/3 internal sphincter deletion) and total ISR (group D,total internal sphincter deletion).Anorectal manometry and Vaizey scoring system were used to trace dynamic changes of fecal incontinence in the four groups in one year follow up. Data were analyzed with repeated-measures analysis of variance and multivariate analysis of variance. ResultsIn all cases the length of postoperative anal high-pressure zone shortened by groups.With time the length of high-pressure zone increased slightly.By the end of postoperative 12 months,there were still significant differences between groups( F =41.873,P =0.000).The maximum resting pressure of anal canal significantly reduced in all groups.By the end of postoperative 12 months,it almost restored to preoperative level in group A,while in group B and C it was about 2/3 of the preoperative level; and 1/3 of the preoperative level in group D.Vaizey score at postoperative 10 days,increased in all groups.In group B and C the score was on continuous decrease until the end of postoperative 12 months(P =0.158) it was close to that in group A.While in group D it was only 13.7 ±3.2 by the end of postoperative 12 months.Multiple regression analysis showed that by the end of postoperative 12 month,the maximum resting pressure of anal canal and postoperative anal high-pressure zone length were significantly and negatively related with the subjective Vaizey score of fecal incontinence ( t =- 4.802,P =0.000 ; t =- 2.011,P =0.048 ).ConclusionsIn patients of ultra-low rectal cancer undergoing intersphincteric resection,fecal incontinence severity indicator vaizey score as evaluated by the end of postoperative 12 months was associated with the maximum resting pressure of anal canal and anal high-pressure zone length.In addition,postoperative fecal incontinence severity carries reversible dynamic changes, and with time, most patients could restore satisfactory stool control function.

To evaluate the clinical effect of laser in situ keratomileusis ( LASlK) with the corneal flap created by FEMTO LDV femtosecond laser for myopia.
●METHODS: The corneal flap was created by the FEMTO LDV femtosecond laser, and the thickness of the flap was 110μ m. A total of 143 myopic patients (283 eyes) were treated with the EC5000 - CXlll element laser. The optometry of the eye, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) the thickness of the cornea, and ObscanⅡ were examined before the operation. The thickness of the flap was calculated by measuring the thickness of corneal bed during the operation in 35 eyes. The conditions of the corneal flap, complications, uncorrected visual acuity ( UCVA ), diopter, corneal topography were observed during and after the operation and were checked for 3mo follow-up.
●RESULTS: During the operation, it appeared small flap ( diameter < 5mm ) in 3 eyes, corneal margin incised incompletely in 5 eyes and incision bleeding in 8 eyes. Postoperative subconjunctival hemorrhage appeared in 6 eyes. The thickness of corneal flap in 35 eyes was 108. 75± 8. 52μ m (98-117μ m) and the error was 6. 49±8. 62μ m (3-12μ m). There was no significant difference between the actual flap thickness and the preset flap thickness ( P >0. 05) . The average equivalent spherical refractive was -0. 29± 0. 47 ( - 1. 50 to + 1. 00) DS after the operation for 3mo and the UCVA met or exceeded preoperative BCVA in 251 eyes (88. 7%).
●CONCLUSlON: The operation of myopia by LASlK flap created by FEMTO LDV femtosecond laser has fewer complications, and the effect is definite and safe.
