Objective To observe the sedative and analgesic effects of local anesthesia with midazolam and sufent-anil for patients in ophthalmologic plastic surgery. Methods A total of 160 patients (ASA I-II) were randomly divided into two group using a random number table, 80 cases in each group, groupⅠ: local anesthesia and groupⅡ: local anesthesia with midazolam (0.05 mg/kg) and sufentanil (0.1μg/kg). Values of bispectral index (BIS), systolic blood pressure (SBP), dia-stolic blood pressure (DBP), heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), oxyhemoglobin saturation(SpO2) and visual analogue scale (VAS) were recorded after patients entered into the operating room, during the time of injection of local anesthesia, at the beginning of the procedure, 20 min after the surgery and after operation. It was also recorded including hypoxemia, ap-noea, restlessness, nausea and vomiting and the duration of surgery. Results There were no significant differences in age, gender, weight and duration of surgery between two groups of patients. There was a significantly lower BIS value before inject-ing local anesthesia, at the beginning of the surgery and 20 min after the surgery compared with that of time point that pa-tients entered into the operating room in groupⅡ(P<0.05). In groupⅠthere were significantly higher values of SBP, DBP and HR during the injection of local anesthesia, at the beginning of the procedure, 20 min after the beginning of the proce-dure and after the surgery than those of time point that patients entered into the operating room;the value of RR was signifi-cantly increased during the injection of local anesthesia, at the beginning of the procedure and 20 min after the beginning of the procedure than that of time point that patients entered into the operating room (P<0.05). Compared with before anesthe-sia induction, values of SBP, DBP, HR and RR were significantly decreased in groupⅡ(P<0.05). There were significantly lower levels of SBP, DBP, HR and RR during the local anesthesia injection to the time after surgery in groupⅡthan those of groupⅠ. The value of VAS was significantly higher during the time of injection of local anesthesia and during the surgery in groupⅠthan that of groupⅡ(P<0.05). There were 15 patients with restlessness in group I, which were higher than those of groupⅡ(3 patients with restlessness). There were 3 patients with nausea and 3 patients with anoxemia and no apnea in group Ⅱ. Conclusion The conscious sedation with midazolam and sufentanil is an effective anesthetic technique for patients in ophthalmo-logic plastic surgery.

PurposeArtifacts of metal implantation severely affect image quality of CT or MRI examination, which restricts the display of local soft tissue lesions after orthopaedic surgery. This study aims to explore the application value of ultrasound examination in local soft tissue lesions after metal implant surgery.Materials and Methods Seventy patients with metal implantation after various orthopedic surgeries received US examination, and such sonographic features were recorded as lesion morphology, size, internal echo, edge, with/without capsule and calcification, and blood flow. Moreover, the clinical and radiologic data of patients like X-ray, CT and MRI were compared with the US results so as to determine the sensitivity of ultrasonic examination.Results The peripheral nerve injury might lead to thickened swelling and echo reduction. Ultrasonography revealed 20 cases of hematoma formation, 5 cases of abscess, 5 cases of pseudoaneurysm, 3 cases of myositis ossificans, 15 cases of bone tumor recurrence and 12 cases of peripheral nerve injury in operative region. Compared with the clinical results , the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis of the study reached 89.4%, 75.0% and 88.6%, respectively, which were signiifcantly higher than those of X-ray, CT and MRI (χ2=78.642, 46.596 and 61.371,P<0.01). The ultrasonic results showed that most hematomas had clear boundary with homogenous echo inside to echo-free zone. Abscesses mostly displayed cystic or hybrid echo with floatable intracavitary pus spots echo, and no blood flow signal existed in the central area of color Doppler. Pseudoaneurysm in the US showed cystic mass around artery, blood flow rotating in capsule, and the typical two-stage bi-spectrum signal in the neck of capsule. Myositis ossiifcans showed intramuscular irregular hyperecho with acoustic shadow. When bone tumor recurred, US showed hypoechoic soft tissue mass with moth-eaten bone destruction, and blood flow signals within the mass were often detected.Conclusion Ultrasonography has relatively high accuracy in observing soft tissues around metal implantation, which can be used as a premier method.

Background and purpose: Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS), is precursor lesions of invasive breast cancer, belongs to non-systemic ductal lesions, which is similar to other ductal lesions on imaging. This study aimed to investigate the differential diagnostic value of MRI in DCIS between DCIS with microinvasion (DCIS-MI) and breast intraductal papilloma (BIDP). Methods:All the cases were surgico-pathologically conifrmed. Twenty-four patients were DCIS, 9 patients were DCIS-MI, and 20 patients were BIDP. The MRI charateristics of DCIS, DCIS-MI and BIDP were analyzed and compared. Results:DCIS and DCIS-MI’s performance in the form of MRI is dififcult to differentiate (P<0.05). Compared with BIDP, the ductal and segmental enhancement, typeⅢtime-signal intensity curve (TIC), and the red pseudo-color image were associated with the DCIS. The local area enhancement, typeⅡTIC, and no-red pseudo-color image were associated with BIDP. Conclusion:MRI is a useful for differentiate between DCIS and BIDP, but is dififcult for DCIS and DCIS-MI.

Objective To investigate the interaction between uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) and host uroepithelial cells, define the role uroepithelial cells play in initiating and modulating the host response to infection with UPEC strain. Methods The human bladder transitional epithelial EJ cells were evaluated for their capacities to allow the adherence and invasion by UPEC132, a clinical strain isolated from Tianjin, China, and a cDNA microarray for 22 000 human genes was used to identify the gene expression differences between EJ cells infected with UPEC132 and uninfected EJ cells. Results Microscope observation showed that UPEC132 could adhere to EJ cells with the adherence rate of (73.20 ± 5.26)%. And visualization by confocal microscope revealed that this microorganism could be seen within the cells. EJ cells infected with UPEC132 changed mRNA expression of a total of 29 genes, including 28 genes up-regulated and 1 gene down-regulated. Of these, regulators of growth and proliferation, cytokines, and modulators of apoptotic responses were the most prominent. Conclusion The gene expression profiling of EJ cells is affected by the infection of UPEC strain. The differentially expressed genes may contribute to further investigate the interaction of UPEC and uroepithelial cells.
