Objective·To investigate the incidence, risk factors and treatment of the catheter-related thrombosis (CRT) in breast cancer patients after implantation of totally implantable venous access port (TIVAP) in chemotherapy. Methods·A total of 190 cases after implantation of TIVAP were investigated. Color Doppler ultrasound was used to monitor the neck blood vessels to find whether there was CRT before chemotherapy and before taking out the port. The incidence of CRT, occurrence time, risk factors and treatment efficacy were observed. Results·There were 112 (58.9%) cases with CRT and 108 (56.8%) patients with asymptomatic thrombosis, and only 4 cases had symptomatic thrombosis, the incidence of which was 2.1%. Most thrombosis developed on the 21th day after catheterization, and the patients over the age of 60, with clinical stage Ⅲ - Ⅳ and chemotherapy regimens TEC (docetaxel combined pirubicin and cyclophosphamide) were the risk factors for thrombosis. All the patients with asymptomatic thrombosis accepted anticoagulant treatment with low molecular heparin, earthworms enzyme or aspirin, respectively, but there was no significant difference in efficacy in the three groups (P=0.743). Conclusion·Port catheter related symptomatic thrombosis incidence is low but the incidence of symptomatic thrombosis is high in the breast cancer patients after chemotherapy. Age, tumor stage and TEC chemotherapy regimens are the risk factors for catheter-related thrombosis.

One of the causes of the high cost of pharmaceuticals and the major obstacles to rapidly assessing the bioavailability and risk of a chemical is the lack of experimental model systems. A new pre-treatment technology, in vitro bionic digestion was designed for metal analysis in Lianhua Qingwen capsule. The capsule was digested on 37 degrees C under the acidity of the stomach or intestine, and with the inorganic and organic compounds (including digestive enzymes) found in the stomach or intestine, and then the chyme was obtained. Being similar to the biomembrane between the gastrointestinal tract and blood vessels, monolayer liposome was used as biomembrane model Affinity-monolayer liposome metals (AMLMs) and water-soluble metals were used for metal speciation analysis in the capsule. Based on the concentration of AMLMs, the main absorption site of trace metals was proposed. The metal total contents or the concentration of AMLMs in the capsule were compared to the nutritional requirements, daily permissible dose and heavy metal total contents from the "import and export of medicinal plants and preparation of green industry state standards". The metal concentrations in the capsule were within the safety baseline levels for human consumption. After in vitro bionic digestion, most of trace metals were absorbed mainly in intestine. The concentration of As, Cd, Pb was 0.38, 0.07, 1.60 mg x kg(-1), respectively, far less than the permissible dose from the "import and export of medicinal plants and preparation of green industry state standards".

BACKGROUND: Neural behavior is a sensitive parameter for predicting abnormal central nervous growth that is resulted from multiple factors. Therefore this study was designed to explore the influence of hypothermia and cigarette smoke exposure during pregnancy on neural behavioral growth of neonatal rats.OBJECTIVE: To study the influence of hypothermia and cigarette smoke exposure on neural behavioral growth of neonatal rats.DESIGN: Randomized case control study based on experimental animals. SETTING: Obstetric and Gynecological Department , Third Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical College; Cytobiological Department of Xinxiang Medical College.MATERIALS: Totally 270 healthy unpregnant SD rats were obtained, including 180 males with body mass of 190- 210 g, and 90 female rats with body mass of 225-275 g. Rats were raised with granulated feed and drinking water routinely in room of 25 ℃ with natural sunlight. Male and female rats in estrus were put in the same cage overnight in proportion of 2: 1, pregnancy was confirmed if vaginal bolt was observed the following morning. Totally 160 pregnant rats were obtained and randomly divided into 16 groups that were exposed to hyperthermia, cigarette smoke or their combination and by this way, earlier reflex, learning and memory of neonatal rats were observed after natural delivery,INTERVENTIONS: From the second day of pregnancy, rats in 37 ℃, 41 ℃,42 ℃ hyperthermia combining cigarette group received subcutaneous injection of 1 mL smoke hydrotrope every other day, while rats in 25 ℃ control group and 37 ℃, 41 ℃, 42 ℃ single hyperthemia groupwere given 2.0 mL double distilled water every day for totally 7 times. From the pregnancy of 10 days, pregnant rats were put into incubator, and rats anus temperature should be kept respectively at(37 ±0.5) ℃, (41 ±0.5)℃, (42 ±0.5)℃in the 37 ℃, 41 ℃, 42 ℃ of single hyperthemia groups and the temperature should last for 2.0 minutes; nats of 37 ℃, 41 ℃, 42 ℃hyperthemia combining cigarette group received the same treatment and were divided into four subgroups with the duration of 0. 5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 minutes respectively;rats in 25℃ control group were not exposed to hyperthermia. Rats were then singly raised from the pregnancy of 18 days for natural delivery. Pregnant days, number of neonatal rat and death rats were recorded, and visible malformation was observed. The average body masses of each cote of neonatal rats were measured every week. Time of eye-opening, ear-opening, hair-growing and teething were observed for assessing their physical growth. Reflex and sensory function of neonatal rats, such as planar tuning, spatial turning, visual orientation and auditory surprise was observed at 3, 7, 12, 16 days after birth respectively; The mean targeting time of each cote was used as reference for assessing their feflex. Y-lybirinth test was used for assessing learning and memory function of neonatal rats(30 days after birth).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Main outcomes: Reflex and sensory, such as planar tuning, spatial turning, visual orientation and auditory surrise. ② Secondary outcomes: Influence of hyperthemia and cigarette exposure on learning memory function of neonatal rats.RESULTS: For hyperthermia group(41C and 42C), targeting time of neonatal rat physical growth(eye-opening, ear-opening, hair-growing and teething) and reflex sensory function(planar tuning, spatial turning, nvisual orientation and auditory surprise), as well as learning and memory(minute) were obviously delayed in contrast with those of the control group and 37 C group(χ2 = 11.34, P ＜0.01 ); meanwhile, longer hyperthermia exposure (1.5 minutes) combined with cigarette smoke had supplementary effect on the above neural behaviors, which was significantly different from that of single hyperthermia group(χ2=10.29, P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Abnormal neural behavior of neonatal rats, such as growing retardation, learning and memory obstacle could be induced by the combination of longer hyperthemia exposure and cigarette smoke.

Objective To investigate the effects of rhubarb and mirabilite and compound danshen injection on gastrointestinal dysmotility of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Forty-one SAP patients were randomly divided into two groups: Integration group (n=21) were treated with rhubarb and mirabilite and compound danshen injection. Control group (n=20) were treated with conventional therapy. Recovery of gastrointestinal motility of two groups was observed, and the complication rate and hospital stay was recorded.Results The recovery of gastrointestinal motility, first defecation and hospital stay in integration group was (3.1±0.8)d, (3.1±0.8)d, (21.5±2.8 )d, which were significantly shorter than those in control group [(5.2±1.4) d, (4.7±1.3 ) d, (32.1±3.60) d, P ＜ 0. 05 or P ＜ 0.01. Five patients in integration group developed complication, which was significantly lower than 8 patients in control group ( P ＜ 0.01 )]. One patient died and one patient received operation in integration group, and one patient died in control group,without significant difference between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusions The combination of rhubarb and mirabilite and compound danshen injection in severe acute pancreatitis can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal motility.

Background The dysfunction of the blink reflex the eyelid-closure ability appears in the patients with facial paralysis,and its management is the implantation of mechanical-assisted eye-closure device in the upper eyelid.A novel device is palpebral spring implant.However,there is no similar study in China.Objective This study was to evaluate the clinical efficacy of palpebral spring placement for lagophthalmos caused by facial nerve palsy.Methods This clinical research complied with Helsinki declaration and the protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Henan Eye Institute & Henan Eye Hospital.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to the surgery.A retrospective serial case-observational study was performed.The medical records of 11 patients who underwent palpebral spring placement for hypophasis due to facial nerve palsy were reviewed at Henan Eye Hospital from August 2010 to November 2012.Palpebral spring placement was performed by the same surgeon to ensure a more even outcomes.Palpebral spring was made by nickel wire,with the diameter of 0.3 mm and implanted on tarsal plate in 11 eyes of 11 patients with symptomatic facial nerve palsy.The lower tip of Levine spring was encased into a small terylene bag and sutured to the anterior tarsal surface during the surgery.Preoperative and postoperative symptoms,upper eyelid margin to mid pupil distance (ULMD),degree of lagophthalmos and eyelid moving scope were examined and compared between before and after operation.The operating complication was followed-up for 8-38 months.Results The discomforted symptoms disappeared in all the operated eyes.The ULMD was (3.51±0.73) mm in preoperation and (3.20±0.86) mm in posteration,without significant difference between them (t=1.36,P=0.10).The degree of lagophthalmos was (5.94±1.57) mm and (1.06±0.98) mm in preoperation and postoperation respectively,showing a significant difference between them (t =9.42,P =0.00).The eyelid moving scope was (5.89±0.70) mm in postoperation,which was significantly increased in comparison with (0.11 ±0.33) mm of preoperation (t =22.97,P =0.00).The palpebral spring implant was regulated in 1 patient during the follow-up duration due to the trauma.No complication in other 10 patients appeared during the follow-up duration,such as implant exposure,metal fatigue or infection.Conclusions Palpebral spring placement is safe and effective for lagophthalmos in patients with facial nerve palsy.
