The preliminary results of inactivation of model parvovirus M13Mp 18 in plasma by long-waveUVA irradiation combined with psoralen derivatives were described.At 8-MOP concetration of300?g/ml plasma and UVA intensity of 11.5mW/cm~2,the UVA irradiation for 30～120 min couldresult in virus inactivation of 10~(5～9) infectious dose/ml.Quenchers were used to reduce the damage ofUVA to proteins in order to improve the clotting factor recovery after irradiation.2mmol/Lglutathione,or 2mmol/L glutathione with 2 mmol/L mannitol could significantly improve the Frecovery after irradiation.

ObjectiveTo survey the usage of prophylactic antimicrobial agents in type Ⅰ incision surgical operation.MethodsThe data of medication of 140 patients with type Ⅰ incision operation including thyroid surgery,breast surgery and repairing hernia surgery were investigated and statistically analyzed.ResultsThe preventative antibiotics usage in type Ⅰ incision operations was 100％.The frequency ranking of the perioperative antibiotics application was cephamycins ( 116 cases),cephalosporins ( 18 cases) and aminoglycosides ( 8 cases ).127 patients received antibacterials before operation.The total time for medication at least 1 day,up to 4 days.The antibacterials used in single kind and two kinds were 136 cases and 4 cases.ConclusionThe prophylactic use of antimicrobials in patients undergoing type Ⅰ incision operations in this hospital was irrational in the rate of antimicrobials use,choice of drug categories and medication duration,etc.Antibiotic prophylaxis in type Ⅰ incision perioperative should be further strengthened to supervise and management so as to promote rational use.

Objective To explore the clinical process and prognosis of middle and intermediate uveitis in children and adults.Methods A total of 121 patients with intermediate uveitis admitted to our hospital from January 2012 to December 2014 were enrolled in the study.Among them,there were 67 cases with monocular involvement and 54 cases with binocular involvement;59 cases were children and 62 cases were adults.All subjects were treated with personalized regimen according to the severity of the disease.The treatment effects and prognosis were compared between patients with different ocular involvement,children and adults.Results The total effective rate of treatment in patients with monocular involvement,children,patients with binocular involvement and adults were 92.5％,93.2％,92.6％ and 91.9％,respectively (all P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in acute phase protein and visual acuity between the patients with ocular involvement and children,adults before treatment (all P ＞ 0.05),and there was no significant difference in the indexes between two groups after treatment (all P ＞ 0.05).The acute phase protein in each group after treatment was decreased,and the visual acuity was obviously increased,there were statistical differences before and after treatment (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Individualized treatment regimen for patients with intermediate uveitis can improve the therapeutic effect,control inflammation and improve visual acuity.The curative effect is not significantly related to age and degree of ocular involvement.

Objective To investigate the effect of melatonin on serum malondialdehyde (MDA), NF-κB, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) andβ2-microglobulin (β2-MG) levels in secondary brain damage following intracerebral hemorrhage patients.Methods 90 patients secondary brain damage following intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into experimental group and control group, 45 cases in each group.The control group were given conventional treatment after surgical removal of hematoma, and the experimental group, on the basis of control group, were given melatonin capsule (6 mg melatonin) , orally, once a day, for 2 weeks treatment.The levels of MDA, NF-κB, TNF-αand β2-MG in patients’ serum were detected.Results The MDA, NF-κB, TNF-αand β2-MG levels after treatment significantly decreased compared with before treatment in two groups (all P<0.05), and the above indexes in experimental group significantly decreased compared with control group ( P <0.05 ).Conclusion Melatonin can significantly reduce the levels of MDA, NF-κB, TNF-αand β2-MG levels in brain injury patients with cerebral hemorrhage, and repair brain damage, which has a guiding significance for clinical use.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of sodium valproate ( VPA) on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibro-sis ( PF) and its mechanism.METHODS: SD rats ( n =42 ) were randomly divided into model group and treatment group.Bleomycin at dose of 5 mg/kg was intratracheally injected to establish a rat PF model.The rats in treatment group were given normal saline (NS, 0.5 mL/d), VPA (300 mg· kg-1· d-1) or dexamethasone (DEX, 0.6 mg· kg-1· d-1 ) via intraperitoneal injection from the 14th day to the 28th day after modeling.The rats in model group were sacrificed on 0 d, 14 day and 28 d after modeling .The rats in treatment group were killed at 14th day after treatment.The effects of VPA on PF were evaluated by HE and Masson staining.The hydroxyproline ( HYP) content in the rat lung tissues was de-tected, and the expression ofα-smooth muscle actin (α-SMA) and E-cadherin was determined by Western blotting.RE-SULTS:HE staining showed that the alveolar structure and interstitial morphology in VPA group were better than those in NS group and DEX group.The level of collagen in VPA group was significantly lower than that in DEX group and NS group by determining the HYP content and Masson staining.VPA reduced the expression ofα-SMA, a mesenchymal marker pro-tein of PF, while increased the expression of epithelial marker protein E-cadherin.CONCLUSION:VPA reduces collagen content and distribution, and up-regulates the expression of the epithelial marker protein E-cadherin, while down-regulates mesenchymal marker proteinα-SMA, thereby preventing the rat lung tissues from bleomycin-induced PF.

Objective To investigate the association between intima-media thickness (IMT) and free fatty acids (FFA) in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods IMT, FFA and body mass index (BMI) were measured in 69 hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome (MS group) ,57 hypertensive patients without metabolic syndrome ( Non-MS group) ,and 50 healthy controls ( NC group). Results In the MS group,The BMI, serum levels of triglyceride (TG), fasting blood glucose (FPG) and FFA were ( 26.0 ± 2.1 ) kg/m2, (24.0 ±0.81 ) mmol/L and (5.64 ± 0.82) mmol/L respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the Non-MS group ( (24.9 ± 2.3 ) kg/m2, ( 1.93 ± 0. 55 ) mmol/L and ( 5.10 ± 1.08 ) mmol/L respectively ) and the NC group ( (23.6 ± 1.6), ( 1.49 ± 0.36) mmol/L and (4.70 ± 0.90) mmol/L respectively) ( F = 20.06, 30.96 and 15.17,P ＜0.05 or 0.01 ). FFA in the MS group ((562.11 ± 55.12)μmol/L) were significantly higher than that in the Non-MS group (402.65 ± 49.53 ) μmol/L) and the NC group ( ( 356.23 ± 45.93 ) μmol/L) ( F = 277.28, P ＜0. 01 ). IMT in the MS group, Non-MS group and NC group were (1. 10 ± 0. 13 )mm, (0. 82 ± 0. 12 )mm and (0.70 ± 0.11 ) mm, respectively, with significantly difference ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). In addition, the incidence of thickening was 28.99% (20/69), 17.54% ( 10/57 ) and 2.00% ( 1/50 ), respectively, with significantly difference ( P ＜0.01 ). Conclusions Serum level of FFA is associated with IMT in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome.

Objective To explore the optimal method of anesthesia in radical resection of gastric cancer by comparing the effects of two anesthesia techniques on the balance of Th1/Th2 in order to provide evidence for clinical anesthesia manage-ment.Methods Forty patients who underwent elective radical resection of gastric cancer were randomized into two groups:in-halation anesthesia group(group S)and total intravenous anesthesia group(group P),in which sevoflurane and propofol were ad-ministered for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia,respectively.The general data of the patients were collected,the tis-sue type of tumors obtained and the fluid infusion and blood loss volumes recoded.The VAS score was obtained 1 h,6 h and 5 d after the surgery.Before the induction of anesthesia,6 h and 5 d after surgery,the blood samples were drawn to determine the serum levels of IL-1β,IFN-γ,TNF-α,IL-2,IL-6 and IL-10.Flow cytometry was used to detect the proportion of CD3+CD8-IFN-γ+ and CD3+CD8-IL-10+ cells and the Th1/Th2 ratio was calculated.Results The level of IL-6 was increased post-sur-gically in groups S and P(P<0.05).There were no significant changes in the levels of IL-1β,IL-2 and IL-10 in groups S and P and in the levels of TNF-αand IFN-γ,and the Th1/Th2 ratio in group S between before the induction of anesthesia and different time points after the surgery(P>0.05).The levels of TNF-αand IFN-γ,and the Th1/Th2 ratio were significantly increased in group P 5 d after the surgery(P<0.05).Conclusion Total intravenous anesthesia with propofol can enhance Th1 response and it is an ideal anesthetic method for radical resection of gastric cancer.
