Conclusion The changes of P300 latency in ADHD children after they took litalin can be adopted as the guidelines of clinical treatment for the ADHD children.

Objective To study the chemical constitutents of Fomes officinalis and their inhibiting (effect) on thrombin. Methods Compounds were separated by column chromatography with silica gel and polyamide, whose structures were elucidated by spectral analysis and chemical evidence. Results Seven compounds were isolated from the chloroform extract. Their structures were identified as: 3-keto-dehydrosulfurenic (Ⅰ), dehydroeburicoic acid (Ⅱ), eburicoic acid (Ⅲ), sulphurenic acid (Ⅳ), dehydrosulphurenic acid (Ⅴ), dehydroeburiconic acid (Ⅵ), versisponic acid D (Ⅶ). The inhibitory rate of compound Ⅶ on thrombin was 45.36% but others were not obvious. Conclusion Compounds Ⅴ, Ⅶ are isolated from the fungus for the first time. Compound Ⅶ is effective to anti-thrombin at higher concentration, while the remainders are not obvious.

Objective To study arterial distribution of rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap and to evaluate whether it can be divided into several units for reconstruction. Methods The arteries of the rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap were studied on 60 sides of cadavers by dissection and angiography. Results The superior epigastric artery (SEA) and the inferior epigastric artery (IEA) continued in a longitudinal direction. Most of their branches took on a typical spiral configuration and communicated with each other within muscle above the level of umbilicus. Many perforating arteries penetrated through the anterior rectus sheath to get to the overlying skin, but the highest concentration of major perforators were in the paraumbilical area. The inferior epigastric artery was more significant than superior epigastric artery in supplying the skin of the musculocutaneous flap. Based on thefstudies of the vascular anatomy of muscles, we could classify arterial distribution into 3 types: type Ⅰ (SEA 26.5 %, IEA 34.6%) revealed a single main intramuscular artery: type Ⅱ (SEA 64.7 %, IEA 48.1%) had two major intramuscular branches; type Ⅲ (SEA 8.8%, IEA 17.3 %) revealed three intramuscular branches. Our anatomic studies showed that the superior and inferior epigastric artery bifurcated or divided into more than two main branches in the majority of cases (SEA 73.5%, IEA 65.4%). Conclusion The rectus abdominis musculocutaneous flap could often be divided into several regions for breast construction which is based on the distribution of each branch of the artery.

Objective To evaluate the blood-saving effect of tranexamic acid in pediatric patients undergoing radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods A total of 56 children of both sexes,aged 11 months-14 yr,with body mass index of 9.8-21.4 kg/m2,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ,with left ventricular ejection fraction ＞50％,scheduled for elective radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot with CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table:tranexamic acid group (TA group,n =30) and normal saline group (NS group,n =26).Anesthesia was induced with iv midazolam,sufentanil,vecuronium and propofol.The children were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of 1％-2％ sevoflurane and infusion of propofol,sufentanil and vecuronium.After induction of anesthesia,a loading dose of tranexamic acid l0 mg/kg was intravenously infused over 20 min before skin incision,followed by infusion at a rate of 10 mg · kg-1 · h 1 until the end of surgery in TA group,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in NS group.The volume of chest tube drainage at 24 h after surgery and volume of allogeneic red blood cells,fresh frozen plasma,platelet and cryoprecipitate transfused were recorded.The requirement for re-thoracotomy for bleeding,and the incidence of hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis were also recorded.Results Compared to NS group,the volume of chest tube drainage at 24 h after surgery and volume of allogeneic red blood cells,fresh frozen plasma,platelet and cryoprecipitate transfused were significantly reduced in TA group.No re-thoracotomy was required in TA group,and the rate of re-thoracotomy was 15％ in NS group.No hepatic artery and portal vein thrombosis were detected in group TA.Conclusion Tranexamic acid (loading dose 10 mg/kg,maintenance dose 10 mg· kg-1 · h-1) can provide blood-saving effect and has high security in pediatric patients undergoing radical correction of tetralogy of Fallot with CPB.

Background Hypoxia is the main factor of retinal neovascularization and is closely associated with retinal ganglial cells (RGCs) degeneration.However, the study of retinal neural tissue lesions is rare.Objective This study was to investigate the influence of hypoxia environment on the expression of annexin A2 (ANXA2) in mouse RGC-5 cells and explore the mechanism of RGCs damage induced by hypoxia.Methods Immortalized mouse RGC-5 cells were cultured in high glucose DMEM with 10％ fetal bovine serum.The cells were identified by detecting the expression of Thy-1 ,a specific biomarker of RGCs.CoCl2 was added into the medium at the final concentrations of 50,100,200 and 300 μmol/L, and the cells without CoCl2 served as the control group.Cell viability (absorbance) was assayed by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) method in 12,24 and 48 hours after addition of CoCl2.The hypoxic cell models were established in DMEM with 100 μmol/L CoCl2 and divided into the hypoxic 3-hour group, hypoxic 6-hour group, hypoxic 12-hour group and hypoxic 24-hour group,with the normal cultured cells as the normal control group.Apoptotic cells were determined by using hoechst 33342 stain.The expression levels of ANXA2 mRNA and protein in the cells were detected by real-time quantification PCR and Western blot,respectively.The expression and location of ANXA2 in the cells were examined by using immunofluorescence technique.Results The cultured cells grew well and showed the fusiform and polygonal shape,with positive expression of Thy-1 protein.Compared with the normal control group, the viabilities of the cells were insignificantly changed in the 50 μ mol/L CoCl2 group and 100 μmol/L CoCl2 group (all at P＞0.05) ,but the cell viabilities were significantly reduced in the 200 μμmol/L CoCl2 group and 300 μmol/L CoCl2 group in various time points (all at P＜0.05).Hoechst 33342 staining showed that the apoptotic cells with nuclear condensation and high green fluorescence intensity were obtained in the hypoxia groups.The relative expression levels of ANXA2 mRNA were significantly lower in the hypoxic groups than those in the normal control group (all at P ＜ 0.05).The relative expression levels of ANXA2 protein were significantly lower in the hypoxia 3-,6-, 12-and 24-hour group than those in the normal control group (all at P＜ 0.05).Apoptotic cells were seen in the hypoxic 3-hour group, hypoxic 6-hour group, hypoxic 12-hour group and hypoxic 24-hour group compared with the normal control group, showing the bright blue fluorescence in cellular nucleus for hoechst 33342.The relative expressing levels of ANXA2 mRNA in the cells were 0.80±0.14,0.67±0.33, 0.49±0.17 and 0.39±0.02 in the hypoxic 3-hour group,hypoxic 6-hour group, hypoxic 12-hour group and hypoxic 24-hour group, which were significantly declined in comparison with the normal control group, with a statistically difference among the groups (F=434.354, P =0.000).The relative expression values of ANXA2 protein were 0.552 6±0.012 3,0.425 9± 0.033 4,0.344 9 ± 0.017 8 and 0.382 7 ± 0.022 1 in the hypoxic 3-hour group, hypoxic 6-hour group, hypoxic 12-hour group and hypoxic 24-hour group,which were remarkably lower than 0.602 1 ±0.001 4 in the normal control group, showing considerably difference among the groups (F =3.057, P =0.000).ANXA2 proteins were highly expressed in the cellular nucleus and less expressed in the cell membrane and cytoplasm in the normal cells.Compared with the normal control group, the ANXA2 protein showed weak expression in the hypoxia group and primarily in the cytoplasm.Conclusions The expression of ANXA2 down-regulates in hypoxic mouse RGC-5 cells,which may participate in the apoptosis process of RGCs in high glucose environment.

Background Vitronectin is a glycoprotein that has a variety of functions.Its expression was markedly higher in the retina of oxygen induced mice,which was confirmed in our animal model,and also increased in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (人 UVECs) that were cultured in high glucose.However,there was no evidence that showed vitronectin was involved in retinal neovascularization.Objective This study was to observe the influence of vitronectin on cytoskeleton remodeling,cell migration and blood vessel formation in 人 UVECs conditioned by high glucose.Methods 人 UVECs were cultured in high glucose and the expression of vitronectin was knocked down using RNA interference technology.The experiments were divided into the high glucose group (人 UVECs were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose),negative interference group (人 UVECs were transfected with control siRNA in advance,and then were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose) and positive interference group (HUVEC were transfected with vitronectin siRNA in advance,and then were conditioned with DMEM medium that contained 50 mmol/L glucose).The protein expression of vitronectin was measured by Western blot,and the microfilament cytoskeleton of 人 UVECs was examined by immunofluorescence cytochemical staining followed by fluorescence microscopy.Cell migration ability in a scratch wound assay and blood vessel formation ability in a matrigel assay of 人 UVECs were evaluated.The general differences were analysed by One-Way ANOVA ;further contrasts of the two groups were analysed by the LSD-t test.Results The differences in vitronectin expression of the three groups were not obvious at 0 hour (F=1.064,P＞0.05).After 24 hours,vitronectin expression was highest in the high glucose group,lower in the negative interference group,and the lowest in the positive interference group,and the differences were significant (F =15.519,P＜0.05).After 48 hours,vitronectin expression of the three groups displayed the same pattern,and the differences were also significant (F=37.521,P＜0.05).Immunofluorescence showed that the cytoskeleton structure was most obvious in the high glucose group,moderate in the negative interference group,and was the least obvious in the positive interference group,after both 24 hours and 48 hours.In the scratch wound assay,the cell migration ability of the high glucose group was the highest,lower in the negative interference group,and the lowest in the positive interference group after 24 hours,and the differences were significant (F=90.685,P＜0.05).After 48 hours,the cell migration abilities of the three groups displayed the same pattern,and the differences were also significant (F=67.880,P＜0.05).In the matrigel assay,after 6 hours,the number of blood vessels formed in the high glucose group was more than that in the negative interference group,and the least amount was found in the positive interference group.The differences among of them were significant (F =86.653,P＜0.05).The number of blood vessel formed in the positive interference group was also the lowest after 12 hours,and the differences were also significant (F=18.992,P＜0.05).Conclusions Vitronectin can bring about cytoskeleton remodeling,increase in cell migration,and enhancement of blood vessel formation in 人 UVECs conditioned in high glucose.It may be one of the important influence factors of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of curcumin pretreatment on c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway during one-lung ventilation (OLV)-induced acute lung injury in mice.Methods Ninety SPF male C57BL/6J mice,aged 6-9 weeks,weighing 18-24 g,were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=15 each) using a random number table:two-lung ventilation (TLV) group;OLV group;curcumin 100,150,200 and 250 mg/kg groups (C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups).The corresponding doses of curcumin were administered intraperitoneally at 2 h before one-lung ventilation in C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups.The animals were tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated in volume-controlled mode.The ventilator settings were adjusted to maintain the end-tidal pressure of carbon dioxide at 35-45 mmHg.In OLV,C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups,unilateral lung was ventilated for 1.5 h followed by 0.5 h of TLV.Bilateral lungs were ventilated for 2.0 h in group TLV.Peak airway pressure and airway pressure were recorded at 1.5 h of OLV and 0.5 h of TLV.At the end of mechanical ventilation,left lungs were removed for microscopic examination of the pathologic changes,and the index of quantitative assessment for alveolar damage (IQA) was recorded.Wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio) was determined,and the cell apoptosis in lung tissues was detected using TUNEL.The apoptosis index (AI) was calculated.The expression of JNK mRNA was determined using real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of JNK and phosphorylated JNK was determined by Western blot.The phosphorylation of JNK was calculated.Results Compared with group TLV,the IQA,W/D ratio,AI,expression of JNK mRNA and phosphorylation of JNK were significantly increased in group OLV (P＜0.05).Compared with group OLV,the IQA,W/D ratio,AI,expression ofJNK mRNA and phosphorylation of JNK were significantly decreased in C150,C200 and C250 groups,the parameters mentioned above were significantly decreased in sequence in C100,C150,C200 and C250 groups (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group C100 (P＞ 0.05).Compared with group OLV,the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in sequence in C150,C200 and C250 groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which curcumin pretreatment reduces cell apoptosis during OLV-induced acute lung injury is related to inhibition of JNK signaling pathway activation in mice.

Objective To elucidate whether taking Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonist instead of oral antiplatelet drugs during perioperative in patients with drug-eluting stent implantation undergoing non-cardiac surgery would play a preventive role of stent thrombosis,without increasing surgical bleeding.Methods Six patients aged 60 -75 years old with drug-eluting stent implantation within 1 year taking dual antiplatelet drugs without any chest pain,and whose heart function classification for two (NYHA) were enrolled.They underwent surgical treatment due to ineffective conservative treatment of surgical disease,5 days before surgery intravenous infusion tirofiban 0.1 μg/( kg · min) micro pumps continuously instead of oral dual antiplatelet drugs,2 hours before surgery stop tirofiban and re-application of tirofiban 0.1 μg/( kg · rain) after surgery in the intensive care unit,and replacing tirofiban with oral dual antiplatelet as soon as possible according to the situation.Analyze cardiovascular events,especially stent thrombosis events and seriously bleeding,tirofiban adverse drug events during perioperative.Results Six patients have no perioperative malignant ischemic ventricular arrhythmia,angina,myocardial infarction,sudden cardiac death,no massive bleeding and adverse drug reactions.Conclusion Substitution of oral dual antiplatelet drugs for Ⅱ b/Ⅲ a receptor antagonists to prevent stent thrombosis treatment during perioperative in patients with drug-eluting stent implantation undergoing non=cardiac surgery may be feasible and safe,but needs to be further confirmed through large sample of randomly controlled trials.

Objective To evaluate the echocardiographic findings and clinical application in the rupture of sinus of Valsalva aneurysm(SVA).Methods Typical transthoracic echocardiographic appearance of 62 patients with SVA and accompanied abnormality were reviewed and compared with operative results.Results Fifty-eight (93.5%) cases SVA were preoperatively discovered by echocardiography, while 2 (3.2%) misdiagnosed as tetralogy of Fallot and tricuspid regurgitation and 2 (3.2%) missed diagnosis.Accompanying teratisms included frequently ventricular septal defect (VSD) (33 cases, 53.2 %) and aortic valve dysplasia(11 cases, 17.7%).The rupture site and the drainage chamber were essentially consisted with surgery,while the size of VSD measured by echocardiography was significantly smaller than that measured in operation.Conclusions Transthoracic echoeardiography is valuable in diagnosing of the site, drainage chamber and the accompanied abnormality of SVA.
