Objective To investigate the clinical effect of different local anesthetic epidural anesthesia for cesarean section. Methods 60 maternal intended to be carried out cesarean section by epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into two groups. A group(n =30 cases) was administrated with 0.5% ropivacaine to anesthesia,and B group(n = 30 cases) was administrated with 0. 5% bupivacaine to anesthesia. The changes of hemodynamic were monitored,and the analgesic effect and adverse reactions were observed in the two groups. Results The differences of blood pressure, heart rate had no statistical significance between the two groups (all P＞0.05);Compared to B group, the anesthesia onset time, anesthesia time between the start of fetus, analgesic effect, adverse reactions of A group were significantly different (t = 4. 347,4. 528, x2 = 3. 834, 6. 429, all P ＜ 0. 05 ) ; Neonatal Apgar score showed no significant differences between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Anesthesia with 0.5% ropivacaine for cesarean section had satisfactory anesthesia effect,and less adverse reactions.

Vascular endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells,structurally and functionally closely related,are two main cells of vascular wall.While the interaction between cycling factors and vascular wall cells can lead to the occurrence of atherosclerosis.The injury of endothelial cells results in secretory dysfunction and abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells which narrows the cavity of blood vessel and cause spasm.This is the common pathological basis of the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis and other vascular diseases.In the pathological state of atherosclerosis,the proliferation of smooth muscle cell will be affected by what the vascular endothelial cells secrete,like growth factors,cytokines,and vasoactive substances.This paper gives a comprehensive overview of the latest research advances in this field.

Objective To explore the relationships between life events,automatic thoughts,coping style and internet addiction disorder(IAD) of adolescent . Methods 54 cases of the IAD were assessed with the Adolescent Self-rating Life Events,Automatic Thought questionnaire and Coping Style questionnaire. Results Life events, automatic thoughts,and coping style were significantly correlated with IAD (r =0.312,r =0.325,r =0.295) ( P <0.01).There were significant correlations between life events and automatic thought, life events and coping style(r =0.554,r =0.392) ( P <0.01).The multiple linear stepwise regression revealed that only life events entered on the regression equation when the score of IAD server as dependent variable. Conclusion There may be three ways that life events influence in IAD:life events influence in IAD directly,life events influence in IAD by the mediators,automatic thought and coping style indirectly.Automatic thoughts and life events is not a necessary condition that led to internet addiction and life events may be influence in IAD by other ways.

Objective To investigate the application of numerical simulation technique in supraorbital and frontal osseous defect.Methods The data of the patients with complex supraorbital and frontal osseous defects were obtained by helix CT scan.Numerical model based on the data was built up by computer.And the true model was produced by Rapid Prototyping.Being stimulated before this operation.the model was directly used in the operation.Results All of these 12 patients(one of defect of brow,four fracture of brow and zygoma,seven of old fracture of brow and zygoma)in this study were satisfied and their brows were symmetry after operation.All of them were satisfied after 1 or 2 years,without implantation exposure and transfiguration except one with infection.Conclusion Based on numerical technique difficulties of repairing,complex supraorbital and frontal osseous defect could be resolved by such process as collecting the bone data,stimulating operation by true models,and producing implantation before the operation.The accuracy of these operations can be improved.

OBJECTIVE To describe the sonographic features of carotid body tumor(CBT), and determine the utility of ultrasonography as a diagnostic study in the preoperative patients. METHODS Sonograms of 60 patients with 65 CBT were reviewed with gray scale and duplex Doppler sonography. The evaluated features included the location, size, margins, shape, internal echogenicity, the relationship between the tumor and the carotid artery,and blood flow velocity. RESULTS All carotid body tumors were located at the carotid artery bifurcation. Well-defined, solid, weakly hypoechoic masses were noted on gray scale sonography in the carotid bifurcation. Color Doppler sonography showed hypervascularity in 61 masses. Pulsed Doppler analysis of blood flow within the tumor mass was possible in 61 CBT, and low-resistance waveforms were obtained from multiple sites within the mass in all cases. CONCLUSION The ultrasound characteristics of the CBT possess specificity to some extent. Duplex Doppler ultrasound can provide the relationship between the tumor and the carotid artery,and provide important information of intratumor blood flow,which has important value in the diagnosis of CBT.

Aim To study the effect of paeonol on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell in atherosclerosis rabbits.Methods Atherosclerosis model on rabbits was established by high fat diet.The pathologic changes of aortic blood vessel were observed by lightmicroscope.The effect of paeonol on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell in vitro was analyzed by MTT method.The lipid,SOD and MDA contents in aorta tissue were assayed by employing the automatic biochemistry analyzer and enzymic method respectively.IL-1?,TNF-? were quantified by radio immunoassay.The expresstion of PCNA protein was assayed by immunohistochemical method.Results Treated with Paeonol(75,150 mg?kg~(-1)) by interagastric administration for 6 weeks,the thickness of vascular tunica intima was observed and the number of foam cells was decreased in atherosclerosis rabbits.Paeonol(100～300 mg?L~(-1)) could inhibit the proliferation of cultured vascular smooth muscle cell and diminish the level of TC,MDA,pro-inflammatory cytokines,as well as enhanc the concentration of SOD in aortic tissue of atherosclerosis rabbits.The expressing intensity of PCNA protein was weakened.Conclusion Paeonol could inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell in vivo and in vitro,which may be related to decrease of contents of lipid,the extent of lipid peroxidation and the concentrations of proinflammatory cytokines.Paeonol might regulate the proliferation periods of vascular smooth muscle cell through inhibiting the expression of PCNA protein.

Objective To investigate the potential role of asiaticoside in controlling the capsular formation around breast implant in rats. Methods Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats were implanted with 2 silicone elastomer in bilateral dorsal interscapular region subcutaneously each, and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n=20 in each group): control group and experimental group. The experimental group was of intragastric administration with asiaticoside (24 mg/kg) daily while control group with saline of identical volume. On day 7, 14, 28, 56 and 84, 4 rats from each group were sacrificed. Specimens were collected for HE staining. Image-pro Plus was applied to measure the thickness of capsule at different time intervals and the dynamic alteration in histology was observed. Results In experimental group, the formation of capsule ended up with a thickness of (194.33?23.27)?m, dramatically thinner than that of control group (306.08?31.31)?m (P
