Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on the intestinal mucosal injury in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty patients of both sexes with rheumatic heart disease,aged 32-64 yr,weighing 40-75 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (NYHA class Ⅱ or Ⅲ),scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and dexmedetomidine group (group D).After induction of anesthesia,the patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with 0.8％-2.0％ sevoflurane inhalation and intermittent iv boluses of sufentanil 0.5-1.0 μg/kg and vecuronium 0.04-0.06 mg/kg.Before routine induction of anesthesia,a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg was injected intravenously over 10 min,followed by continuous infusion at 0.3 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until the end of surgery in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given in group C.Before CPB,at 30 min after aortic clamping,at the termination of CPB,at the end of surgery and at 6 and 24 h after surgery,central venous blood samples were taken for determination of concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha,interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 and intestinal fatty acid binding protein in plasma (by ELISA),and the plasma concentration of endotoxin (using turbidimetry).The time of postoperative mechanical ventilation and duration of ICU stay were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-alpha,IL-6,IL-10 and endotoxin and intestinal fatty acid binding protein in plasma were significantly decreased,and the time of postoperative mechanical ventilation and duration of ICU stay were shortened in group D.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine infused continuously at 0.3 μg · kg-1 · h-1 (until the end of surgery) after a loading dose of 1 μg/kg before routine induction of anesthesia can reduce intestinal mucosal injury in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

Objective To investigate the environmental impact of the Japanese Fukushima No.1 nuclear power plant accident on radiation levels in some areas of Liaoning province.Methods The emergent monitoring was performed by detecting atmosphere aerosols,precipitations,drinking water,vegetables,milk and seafood by gamma spectrometry analysis and gross activity measurements.Results The fission radionuclides of 131I,134Cs and 137Cs were detected in atmosphere aerosols 20 d after nuclear accident.The rad ionuclides of 131I,134Cs and 137Cs were found existing in atmosphere for 25,4 and 6 d,respectively,with the highest concentrations of 4.6 × 10 3,2.9 × 10-4 and 4.2 × 10-4 Bq/m3,respectively.The man-made fission radionuclides could not be detected in vegetablcs,drinking water and milk from Shenyang city and seafood from Dandong city.Conclusions The atmosphere might be slightly contaminated in Liaoning province due to the nuclear accident,whereas the vegetables,milk and drinking water not contaminated.

Objective To investigate the effect of sufentanil postconditioning on myocardial ischemiareperfusion (I/R) injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Sixty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients ( NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ ) of both sexes,aged 19-64 yr,scheduled for cardiac valve rreplacement under CPB,were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n =15 each):control group ( group C),sufentanil 0.5 μg/kg group (group S1 ),sufentanil 1.0 μg/kg group (group S2 ) and sufentanil 2.0 μg/kg group ( group S3 ).In groups S1,S2 and S3,sufentanil 0.5,1.0 and 2.0 μg/kg were infused over 2 min via aortic root 5 min before aortic unclamping respectively.In group C,the equal volume of normal saline (2 ml/kg) was infused instead of sufentanil.Blood samples were taken from the radial artery immediately before induction of anesthesia ( T2 ) and at 2,4,8,24 and 48 h after aortic unclamping ( T1-5 ) for determination of plasma concentrations of cardiac troponin-I (cTnI) and malondialdehyde (MDA) and activities of creatine kinase isoenzyme-MB (CK-MB) and superoxide dismutase (SOD).The duration of CPB,time of aortic clamping,extubation time,duration of stay in ICU,and myocardial contractility score and volume of drainage at 24 h after the operation were recorded.The restoration of spontaneous heart beat and adverse cardiovascular events were observed.Results The plasma cTnI,and MDA concentrations and CK-MB activity were significantly lower,while the SOD activity was significantly higher at T1-3 in group S1 than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05).The plasma cTnl concentration and CK-MB activity were significantly lower at T1-5,the plasma MDA concentration was significantly lower at T1-4,and SOD activity was significantly higher at T1-4,the extubation time and duration of stay in ICU were significantly shorter,and the myocardial contractility score at 24 h after the operation and incidence of adverse cardiovascular events were significantly lower in groups S2,3 than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05),The plasma cTnl concentration and CK-MB activity were significantly lower at T4,5,The plasma MDA concentration was significantly lower at T4,the SOD activity was significantly higher at T3,4,and the myocardial contractility score at 24 h after the operation was significantly lower in groups S2,3 than in group S1 ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Sufentanil postconditioning can relieve myocardial I/R injury in patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement under CPB,and the mechanism is related to inhibition of lipid peroxidation.

Objective To study carbon nanoparticles lymphatic tracer to guide surgery for gallbladder cancer.Methods 120 patients with gallbladder cancer were randomized into two groups:the experimental group (n =60) and the control group (n =60).For the experimental group,0.1 ml carbon nanoparticles was injected at 4 ～ 6 locations subserosally around the cancerous site intraoperatively.Stained lymph nodes were used as markers to guide lymphadenectomy.The resected specimens were carefully dissected,and then the lymph nodes were studied according to their positions by histopathological examinations.Results Various degrees of stained lymph nodes were seen in the specimens.In the experimental group,the number of lymph nodes (12.0 ± 3.8),and metastatic lymph nodes (6.3 ± 3.3) per patient were obviously higher than those in the control group (9.2 ± 3.6、4.4 ± 2.8),respectively,(P ＜ 0.05).There were significant differences (P ＜ 0.05) in postoperative disease-free survival and overall survival.Conclusions Intraoperative injection of carbon nanoparticles enhanced lymph node clearance and increased the number of lymph nodes and metastatic lymph nodes dissected,which helped to guide pathological staging.There were significant improvements in disease-free survival and overall survival of these patients with gallbladder cancer after surgery.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the status of macrophages during the non-ventilated lung injury in the patients undergoing long-time one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Thirty patients of both sexes,aged 35-64 yr,weighing 50-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective pulmonary lobectomy for lung cancer,were divided into 2 groups (n=15 each) according to the time of OLV:short-time OLV group (＜30 min,group S) and long-time OLV group (＞2 h,group L).Anesthesia was routinely induced and maintained.Normal lung tissues around the cancer tissues from the lobe of the lung excised were obtained for microscopic examination of pathologic changes which were scored.The activated macrophages (CD68 positive),polarized M1 macrophages (CD86 positive) and polarized M2 macrophages (CD206 positive) in lung tissues were detected using immunofluorescence.The ratio of CD86 positive cells to CD206 positive cells was calculated.Results Compared with group S,lung injury scores on the non-ventilated side were significantly increased,the number of CD68,CD86 and CD206 positive cells in lung tissues was increased,and the ratio of CD86 positive cells to CD206 positive cells was increased in group L (P＜0.05).Conclusion Long-time OLV (＞2 h) can result in increased number of activated macrophages,especially the polarized M1 macrophages,which may be one of the mechanisms underlying lung injury on the non-ventilated side.

BACKGROUND: Panel reactive antibodies (PRA) easily appear in the peripheral blood of organ transplant recipients sensitized by allogeneic human leukocyte antigen (HLA).How to enhance the success rate of renal transplantation.and long-term survival rate of renal allografts in sensitized recipients should be further studied.OBJECTIVE: This study was to detecthuman leukocyte antigen immunoglobulin G(HLA-IgG) antibody level and its specificity in renal transplant recipients,evaluate humoral immunity sensitization,and investigate the relationship of the acceptable mismatching of HLA cross-reactive group and survival rate of renal allograft.DESIGN: A clinical observation.SETTING: Zhujiang Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 1297 patients,824 males and 473 females,averaging (42±16) years of age,received renal transplantation in the Department of Organ Transplantation,Zhujiang Hospital,Southern Medical University between January 1998 and December 2005,were recruited for this study.Among these patients,165 were HLA-IgG antibody-positive recipients,1132 were HLA-IgG antibody-negative ones,1217 received renal transplantation for the first time,77 received renal transplantation twice,2 three times,and 1 four times.Written informed consent was obtained from each subject for related laboratory measurements and treatment.The protocol was approved by the Hospital's Ethics Committee.Reagents:Lamhda antigen tray (LAT),Lambda antigen tray mixed (LATM),Special Monocloneal Tray-Asian HLA Class Ⅰ,and Micro SSP? Generic HLA Class Ⅱ were purchased from One Lambda Company,USA.Taq polymerase was purchased from PE Company,USA. DNA extract reagent was from Qiagen Company,Germany.Anti-human complement 4d (C4d) polyclonal antibody and chrornogenic substrate DAB were purchased from Biomedica Company,Austria.METHODS: Prior to operation,serum HLA-IgG antibody in the recipients was determined by an enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).HLA-IgG antibody-positive serum was further detected by antigen tray (LAT1240 and LATIHDS) for antibody-positive rate and specificity.HLA genotyping was performed by a sequence specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP).For 40 recipients who had elevated serum creatinine (Scr),anti-HLA antibody detection and renal transplant needle biopsy were conducted.At the same time,C4d deposition on the capillary wall around the renal tubule was observed by immunohistochemical staining.Survival rate of renal allografts in recipients 1,3,and 5 years after transplantation,and relationships of gender and renal transplantation and antibody-positive rate were investigated.Survival rate of renal allograft in recipients that received different mismatch of HLA cross-reactive group was analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Prior to and after renal transplantation,HLA-IgG antibody-positive rate and HLA genotyping in renal transplant recipients.Characterization of C4d deposition on the capillary wall around the renal tubule in the renal transplant biopsy tissue.Difference of survival rate of renal allograft.RESULTS: All 1297 recipients were included in the final analysis.Among them,1132 were HLA-IgG antibody-negative recipients,165 were HLA-IgG antibody-positive ones,126 were anti-HLA class Ⅰ IgG antibody-positive ones,90 were anti-HLA class Ⅱ IgG antibody-pesitive ones,51 were anti-HLA class Ⅰ and Ⅱ IgG antibody-positive ones,and 94 were highly sensitized ones (antibody-positive rate ＞50%).Among 40 recipients with needle biopsy,C4d deposition was found in the 13 recipients,but not found in the 27 recipients.Ten out of thirteen C4d-positive recipients presented with anti-HLA antibody-positive in the peripheral circulation.The incidence for delayed graft function (DGF) was significantly higher in recipients with HLA-IgG antibody-positive than in recipients with HLA-IgG antibody-negative (P ＜ 0.01).There was no significant difference in the survival rates of renal allografts between recipients with HLA-IgG antibody-positive and with HLA-IgG antibody-negative 1 ,3,and 5 years after renal transplantation (P ＞ 0.05).Antibody-positive rate was significantly higher in female recipients than in male recipients (P ＜ 0.01).Antibody-positive rate was significantly higher in recipients that received renal transplantation for the second time than in recipients that received renal transplantation for the first time (P ＜ 0.01).With HLA cross-reactive group mismatching increasing,survival rate of renal allograft presented a tendency of decline.One,three and five years after renal transplantation,the survival rate of renal allograft was respectively 97%,94%,and 92% for recipients with no mismatching,and 91%,82%,and 77% for recipients with two mismatches,which was respectively decreased by 6%,12%,and 15% compared to recipients that received no mismatching.For recipients with three mismatches,the survival rate of renal allograft was respectively decreased by 9%,15%,and 24% compared to recipients with no mismatching.CONCLUSION: C4d deposition on the capillary wall around the renal tubule can be detected as an indicator of antibody-mediated humoral rejection.A good HLA matching can noticeably decrease the incidence of rejection and improve the survival of renal allograft.
