Objective We compared the effect of three anesthetic procedures on the establishment of and recovery effect on the young minipig models of skull defect,and explore an optimal anesthetic procedure for long-lasting surgical experiment in minipigs.Methods Thirty 3-month old Guizhou minipigs (male∶female=1∶1) were randomly divided into three groups,10 in each group.The group A was given with midazolam and ketamine i.p.,the group B received lumianning II i.p.,and the group C received midazolam combined with ketamine and lumianning II i.p.The induction time of anesthesia,the first anesthesia maintenance time,the first anesthesia maintenance period after additional use of anesthetics,the second time anesthesia maintenance period after additional use of anesthetics,the recovery period,the number of times of additional intraoperative use of anesthetics,cumulative amount of anesthetics used,and the adverse reaction and mortality rates of the animals after anesthesia were observed and analyzed.Results The anesthesia induction time in the group B was significantly longer than that in the groups A and C (P<0.05 for both).The anesthesia maintenance time and the anesthesia maintenance after first and second additional use of anesthetics in the groups A were significantly longer than those of the groups A and B (P<0.05 for both).The recovery periods in groups A and C were shorter than that of the group B (P<0.05 for both).The number of times of additional intraoperative use of anesthetics,the total dose of anesthetics,the adverse reaction and mortality rates in the group C were significantly lower than those of the groups A and B (P<0.05 for both).Conclusions The combination of midazolam with ketamine and lumianning II is a simple,easy to control the anesthesia depth,and a safe method to anesthetize young minipigs in long-lasting surgical experiment.

Objective The study consisted of two parts: in part Ⅰ the effects of propofol or/and procaine on CD18, CD62L expression and superoxide anion (SOA) release of phorbol 12-myristal 13-acetate(PMA) stimulated human neutrophils (PMNs) were studied in vitro; in part Ⅱ the effects of propofol or/and procaine on IL-6 and TNF-?production in endotoxin-stimulated human whole blood were studied. Methods PMNs were separated from the whole blood obtained from healthy 20-40yr old subjects. Part Ⅰ consisted of 9 groups: in group 1 (control) phosphate buffer solution was added to PMNs; in group 2 PMNs were stimulated by PMA 100mg?ml-1 ; in group 3-5 different concentrations of propofol (0.4, 4.0,40?g?ml-1) were added to PMA stimulated PMNs; in group 6-8 different concentrations of procaine (1.5,15,150?g?ml-1 ) were added to PMA stimulated PMNs; in group 9 propofol 2?g?ml-1 and procaine 8?g?ml-1 were added to PMA stimulated PMNs. Part II also consisted of 9 groups: in groupl whole blood was mixed with normal saline; in group2 lipopolysaccharide (LPS) l?g?ml-1 was added to whole blood; in group 3-5 different concentrations of propofol (0.4,4.0,40?g?ml-1) were added to LPS stimulated whole blood; in group 6-8 different concentrations of procaine (1.5, 15, 150?g?ml-1 ) were added to LPS stimulated whole blood; in group 9 propofol 2?g?ml-1 and procaine 8?g?ml-1 were added to LPS stimulated whole blood. CD18, CD62L expressions were measured by flow cytometry. SOA release was determined by cytochrome C reduction in the presence or absence of superoxide dismutase (SOD) . IL-6 and TNF-? production were measured by using radioimmunoassay. Results Propofol or/and procaine depressed CD18 up-regulation, CD62L shedding and SOA release of PMA-stimulated PMNs and propofol was more effective than procaine. Propofol enhanced but procaine inhibited the increased production of TNF-? and IL-6 in the LPS stimulated whole blood but when propofol and procaine were used in combination. The effectof procaine predominated. Conclusions Propofol or/and procaine can attenuate tissue damage induced by neutrophils by inhibiting the function of neutrophils.

Objectives: To evaluate the efficacy of phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation with limbal tunnel incision.　Methods: A 3.2mm limbal tunnel incision was made on 72 eyes of 66 patients with senile, complicated and traumatic cataract. Phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation was performed. Visual acuity, corneal curvature and corneal topography were measured after the surgery.　 Results: One day, one week and one month after the surgery, visual acuity exceeded 0.5 in 69.4%, 80.6%,86.1% of the patients respectively. One week after the surgery, the mean astigmatism was (1.85±0.89)D(P<0.01), 0.30 D more than that before the surgery. Corneal topography showed that the incision was steep or flat. One month after the surgery, the mean astigmatism was (1.48±1.02)D，P>0.05,corneal topography had recovered.　 Conclusions: Phacoemulsification and foldable IOL implantation with limbal tunnel incision have comparatively simple, with less postoperative inflammation and faster recovery of visual acuity.

Objective:To observe the changes in the anterior chamber before and after cataract surgery by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in eyes with primary angle closure glaucoma. Methods: Ultrasound biomicroscopy was used for anterior chamber imaging in 78 eyes of 50 patients with primary angle closure glaucoma before and 1 month after cataract phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. And the intraocular pressures were recorded at the same time. Results: UBM allowed the imaging of the entire anterior eye segment. In the images, the differences between iris thickness (IT), iris zonule distance (IZD) and iris lens angle (?2) before and after the operation were statistically insignificant. After the operation, marked increases were observed in the anterior chamber depth (ACD), angle opening distance at 500 ?m from the scleral spur (AOD500), trabecular iris angle (?1) and trabecular ciliary process distance (TCPD), with statistically very significant differences from preoperation (P

Objective Study on producing human monoclonal antibodies against Rhesus (D) antigen that was suitable for use as blood group typing reagent. Methods B lymphocytes from a Rh negative woman, which can produce anti D antibodies were transformed by Epstein Barr virus(EBV). Antibody secreting cells were enriched by RhD + group O erythrocytes and cloned by limited dilute method. By using one step emzymatic method on microplates, one thousand normal blood donors with a common Rh phenotype were tested with the supernatant of cell culture medium as well as a polyclonal human anti D and a commercial monoclonal anti D serum. Results Three human B lymphocyte lines secreting monoclonal antibodies to Rh (D) were established. One of them produced lgM antibody. The titer of the monoclonal antibodies was 64～128. Study on 1000 blood donors, the results did not show any discrepancy among the three different anti Rh(D) serum. Conclusion These monoclonal antibodies against D antigen could be used in Rh(D) typing.

AIM:To express recombinant hCD154-GST fusion protein, to prepare anti-hCD154 monoclonal antibody, and to investigate the effect of anti-hCD154 monoclonal antibody on graft rejection. METHODS AND RESULTS: Total RNA was prepared from human peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) activated with 10ng/mL PMA and 1 ?g/mL PHA for 8h, the total RNA was reversetranscribed to cDNA. The entire coding region and a part of the 3'non-coding regions were amplified by PCR using a pair of primers designed and synthesized according to the sequence of human CD154 gene from gene bank. The amplified product, a 820bp DNA fragment was cloned into pGEX-4T-1 plasmid expressing glutathione S-transferase(GST). The cloned insert was identified by double digestion of the cloned pGEX-4T-1 plasmid with retriction enzymes BamHⅠand EcoRⅠ.The fusion protein expression plasmid of PGEX-4T-1/hCD154 was constructed, then transformed to E coli BL21. The human CD154-GST fusion protein expression was induced by IPTG in BL21. The expression of recombinant 26kD GST and 55kD human CD154-GST fusion protein were confirmed by SDS-PAGE. CONCLUSION: We have express the recombinant human CD154-GST fusion protein. The expressed hCD154-GST fusion protein will be used to prepare anti-hCD154 monoclonal antibody, to investigate the role of anti-CD154 monoclonal antibody on graft rejection.
