Objective To compare the accuracy of Marsh model and Schnider model for propofol target?controlled infusion ( TCI) system. Methods Eighty patients, aged 20-60 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status ⅠorⅡ, with body mass index of 17?5-28?0 kg∕m2 , scheduled for e?lective gynecological operation under general anesthesia, were equally and randomly divided into either Marsh model group ( group M) or Schnider model group ( group S) using a random number table. The target plasma concentration was set at 3 μg∕ml in both groups. During TCI and at different time points after the end of TCI, the blood samples were collected for determination of blood propofol concentrations by high per?formance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detector. The difference between measured and predicted concentrations (△C) at each time point was calculated. The median performance error ( MDPE) , median absolute performance error ( MDAPE) , and wobble of propofol TCI system were calculated in each group. Results In M and S groups, the MDPE was 9. 90% and 14?00%, respectively; the MDAPE was 11?43% and 14?49%, respectively;the wobble was 7?77% and 7?79%, respectively. There was no sig?nificant difference in △C at each time point during TCI between group M and group S (P>0?05). After TCI was stopped, △C at each time point was significantly lower in group M than in group S ( P<0?05) . Conclusion Marsh model provides higher accuracy than Schnider model for propofol TCI system in the pa?tients undergoing gynecological operation.

Objective To investigate the effect of hyperacute intensive antihypertensive treatment on the prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhage in basal ganglia region. Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,100 patients with intracerebral hematoma in basal ganglia region (onset ≤3 h)at the Neurological Intensive Care Unit,the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were enrolled prospectively. They all randomly received the intensive antihypertensive or standard antihypertensive treatment voluntarily. They were divided into either an intensive antihypertensive group or a standard antihypertensive group according to the random number table (n = 50 in each group). Within 1 h after beginning to treatment,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 130 -140 mmHg in the intensive antihypertensive group,the target systolic blood pressure was controlled in 160 -180 mmHg in the standard antihypertensive group,and the target systolic blood pressure was maintained respectively in the following 7 d. Head CT was performed gain at 24 h after treatment. The intracranial hematoma expansion was evaluated. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS)and the modified Rankin scale (mRS)were used to
evaluate their prognoses. The differences of the cumulative mortality in both groups were compared at the same time. Results The incidences of hematoma expansion of the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 12. 0% (6/ 50)and 30. 0% (15/ 50)respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 4. 882,P = 0. 027). There were no significant differences in NIHSS scores within or between both groups at each time points (all P > 0. 05). They were followed up for 90 d,no adverse events occurred in both groups. The favorable prognosis rates of the neurological function were 36. 0% (18 / 50)and 18. 0% (9 / 50)respectively in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (χ2 = 0. 411,P =0. 043). Kaplan-Meier curves showed that the cumulative mortality at 24 h,within 7 d and 90 d in the intensive antihypertensive group and the standard antihypertensive group were 4. 0% (2 / 50),6. 0%(3 / 50),and 10. 0% (5 / 50),respectively,those of the standard antihypertensive group were 10. 0%(5 / 50),24. 0%(12 / 50),and 30. 0%(15 / 50),respectively. The results of Log-rank test found that there was significant difference in cumulative mortality between the 2 groups (χ2 =6.280,P =0.012). Conclusions The intensive antihypertensive treatment in the hyperacute cerebral hemorrhage is safe and feasible in basal ganglia region. It contributes to improve prognosis of neurological function,and reduce the incidence of hematoma expansion and the 90 d cumulative mortality.

This paper presents a 3mm fracture model of radial bone of rabbits using operation method. The bone defect was treated with collagen sponge with different pH and different content. After the operation, the body temperature, blood routine measurement, serum antibody, X-ray examination and histological observation in each group were examined to evaluate and study the curative effect and safety of collagen sponge. Collagen sponge had a good result of safety, but there was slightly change in blood routine, serum antibody, and histological observation, etc, with the pH changing and different content of collagen. The results showed that there was no obvious influence of safety to tissues after treatment of the collagen sponge at different pH implanted into bone defect. Collagen sponge at lower pH could promote the healing of bone defect partly, while the safety of collagen sponge with lower content was better.

Objective Observing the effect of Shuganyishen formula on hormone-dependant metastatic breast cancer and the mechanisms of anti-resistance and endocrine therapy. Methods 226 ITT cases were divided into two cohorts by treatment. 126 cases were treated with the combination of Shuganyishen formula and standard western medicine including endocrine therapy, and 100 cases were treated with western medicine alone. The end points were time to progress (TTP) and overall survival and quality of life (QOF). The effect of Shuganyishen formula on growth of TAM-resistance cell line in vitro was observed. Results There were statistical significances of median TTP between combination and western medicine in Luminal A (ER+ /PR+, HER2-) as well as Luminal B (ER+/PR+, HER2+), but no significances of OS; The extent and incidence of hot flush, sweat and syndromes related to bone were decreased significantly in combination treated group. Shuganyishen formula could reverse resistance to TAM. Conclusion Patients with LuminalA and LuminalB metastatic breast cancer benefit from Shuganyishen formula, which maybe related with its reverse resistance to endocrine therapy.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the DNA polymorphism of Sporothrix schenckii (S. schenckii) and to find the relationship between DNA patterns and geographic areas and clinical manifestations.

METHODThe total DNA was extracted with hexadecyltrimethyl-ammonium bromide. Random Amplification of Polymorphic DNA (RAPD) assay was used to study DNA typing of 24 strains of S. schenckii collected from different areas and isolated from different clinical types.

RESULTSOf seven random primers used, three primers (OPAA11, OPD18 and OPB07) gave good reactions, the sequences of which were 5'-ACCCGACCTG-3', 5'-GAGAGCCAAC-3', 5'-GGTGAC~GCAG-3' respectively. The RAPD patterns of the 24 isolates were not completely identical, showing certain degrees of hereditary variability. Different isolates showed a common conserved DNA band with the same primer. Different clinical types showed different genotypes.

CONCLUSIONRAPD analysis is useful in DNA typing of S. schenckii, the DNA band type of which is related to geographic origin and Clinical manifestation.

Objective: To study the mutation of ENG, ACVRL1, and SMAD4 genes in one of a family of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) and explore its molecular pathogenesis. Methods: A family spectrum of a patient with a clinical diagnosis of HHT was surveyed. Peripheral blood samples from proband and their eldest were collected, and ENG, ACVRL1 and SMAD4 gene analysis was performed by chip capture high-throughput sequencing. The mutation detected was verified by Sanger. Results: 9 of the 71 family members were diagnosed with HHT with the main manifestation of recurrent nasal bleeding. Genetic analysis showed that the proband and the eldest son of ENG gene exon 9 frameshift mutation: c.1502-1503insGG (p.Gly501GlyfsX18) , and mutations in ACVRL1 and SMAD4 genes were not detected. Conclusion The frameshift mutation c.1502-1503insGG (p.Gly501GlyfsX18) of the ENG gene is the genetic basis for the pathogenesis of this HHT family.

AIM: To provide reference for clinical application of warfarin PPK/PD model, the prediction accuracy of warfarin PPK/PD model and 6 dose models established by multiple linear regression were compared. METHODS: Clinical data of inpatients who took warfarin tablets for oral anticoagulant therapy in our hospital were collected, and the predictive values were simulated by PPK/PD model and other 6 models, respectively. SPSS 23.0 software was used for paired t-test of measured value and predicted value. MAE and percentage of prediction deviation were used to evaluate the results, and the prediction deviation box-plot was drawn to compare the total data, different dose groups and different genotypes. RESULTS: A total of 50 patients were included in the study. Among 7 models, only PPK/PD model, Wen et al., and Du Liping et al.'s model had no statistical difference in predicted values and measured values (P>0.05). The prediction accuracy of PPK/PD model was higher among the total data, low and medium doses, and patients with different genotypes.The prediction accuracy of Wen et al. 's model and Li Chuanbao et al.'s model was higher in the high-dose group. CONCLUSION: The PPK/PD model of warfarin has good clinical prediction performance, which is expected to provide reference for accurate administration of warfarin.

Objective: To study the distribution and pharmacokinetics of cefuroxime in rabbit eyes after intravenous administration. Methods: Thirty-five rabbits were randomly divided into 7 groups by random number table method, with 5 rabbits in each group.The rabbits in blank control group were feed without any treatment, the rest rabbits were injected with 40.63 mg/kg cefuroxime intravenously.The rabbits were sacrificed at 0.5 hour, 1.0 hour, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 hours after injection, and the eyeballs were immediately dissected.The concentration of drug in different ocular tissues was detected by high performance liquid chromatography, and the pharmacokinetic parameters in eyes were computed by the DAS software.This study was approved by the Experimental Animal Ethics Committee of Shanxi Provincial Eye Hospital (201802b). Results: The peak concentrations (Cmax) of cefuroxime were (11.63±0.20), (1.59±0.05), (1.51±0.08), (0.99±0.07), (1.55±0.08) and (8.57±0.17)μg/ml in aqueous humor, iris-ciliary body, vitreous body, retinal-choroid, cornea and sclera, respectively.The times to peak (Tmax) were 1.5 hours, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 0.5 hour in aqueous humor, iris-ciliary body, vitreous body, retinal-choroid, cornea and sclera, respectively.The areas under drug time curve (AUC_0-t) were (26.60±0.62), (6.22±0.84), (5.86±0.16), (3.75±0.45), (5.50±0.15) and (26.48±0.73)(μg·h)/ml in aqueous humor, iris-ciliary body, vitreous body, retinal-choroid, cornea and sclera, respectively.Cefuroxime was not detected in the lens at different time points after injection.The parameters of pharmacokinetics were fitted to two compartment model. Conclusions Cefuroxime shows good penetration in aqueous humor, iris-ciliary body, vitreous body, retinal-choroid, cornea and sclera when administrated by intravenous injection in rabbits and cefuroxime has no distribution in lens.Cefuroxime can reach an effective concentration in ocular tissues 0.5 to 1.5 hours after intravenous injection.

Objective: To establish a simple method for isolation, purification and cultivation of primary retinal microvascular pericytes (RMPs) from mice. Methods: Retinas were isolated from mice following with mechanical morcel, enzymatic digestion and filtration.The retinal fragments were incubated with low glucose DMEM with 20% fetal bovine serum after 24 hours pre-incubation.Differential digestion was used for purification of primary RMPs.Morphological examination of cells was performed by phase contrast microscopy, and further characterization was analyzed by immunocytochemistry.Functional assay was evaluated by the pericytes-endothelial cells (ECs) co-culture system.The treatment and use of experimental animals followed the regulations on the administration of experimental animals promulgated by the state science and technology commission. Results: Cells migrated out of fragments after 24 hours of incubation, and developed into small or large colonies gradually.The cells and their subpassages presented typical pericyte morphology with large irregular triangular cell bodies and multiple long processes.No contact inhibition was observed.Most cells uniformly expressed the cellular markers α-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and platelet-derived growth factor receptor-β (PDGFR-β), a few cells expressed the cellular markers glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), but no cell expressed von Willebrand factor (vWF). The purity rate of RMPs was up to 97%.In the co-culture system, RMPs directly contacted with ECs to form the capillary-like cords in vitro. Conclusions A simple method for the isolation, purification cultivation of mouse RMPs is established, and active RMPs can be readily obtained by this method.
