Objective To evaluate the efficacy of ultrasound-guided combined C5 and superficial cervical plexus block in patients undergoing clavicle surgery.Methods Sixty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,scheduled for elective clavicle surgery,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =30 each) using a random number table:injection with 10 ml local anesthetic guided by ultrasound group (group U),and injection with 10 ml local anesthetic guided by anatomical landmark group (group A).A mixture of 0.375 % levobupivacaine and 1.0% lidocaine was used.The time spent performing the block onset time of analgesia,onset time of analgesia in the medial border,midpoint and lateral border of the clavicle and duration of analgesia were measured.The effectiveness of block (excellent,good,failure) was assessed.The complications were observed.Results Compared with group A,the time spent performing the block was significantly prolonged,the onset time of analgesia in the lateral border and midpoint of the clavicle was shortened,the rate of excellent anesthesia was increased,and the duration of analgesia was prolonged in group U (P < 0.05).No complications occurred in group U,while vascular puncture occurred in 3 cases,and one patient developed mild toxic reaction in group A.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided combined C5 and superficial cervical plexus block provides better block,with faster onset time of analgesia in the lateral border and midpoint of the clavicle,longer duration of analgesia and fewer complications as compared with that guided by anatomical landmarks in patients undergoing clavicle surgery.

1,2,3,4,6-penta-O-galloyl-D-glucose (PGG) is one of the main active compounds of Guizhi Fuling capsule. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIP) have high affinity toward template molecules synthesized by molecularly imprinted technology for its specific combined sites, which can overcome the shortcoming of traditional separation methods, such as complex operation, low efficiency, using large quantity of solvent and environmental pollution. In this paper, surface molecularly imprinted polymer (SMIP) was prepared by surface imprinting with PGG as the template molecule. Its adsorption capacity was measured by the scatchard equation. The separation of PGG from Guizhi Fuling capsule at preparatived scale was achieved with molecularly imprinted polymer as stationary phase and the purity was 90.2% by HPLC. This method can be used to prepare PGG from Guizhi Fuling capsule with large capacity and is easy to operate. It provides a new method for efficient separation and purification for other natural products.

Inorganic/polymer hybrid star polylactic acid (POSS-PLA) was obtained through ring-opening polymerization of lactide by using polyhydroxyl cage silsesquioxane (POSS-OH) as the core and tin (II) octoate as the catalyst. The star polylactic acid (POSS-PLA) was used to modify sodium alginate hydrophobically and a drug carrier was obtained. The drug release behavior was investigated by using ibuprofen as the model drug. The results showed that the drug loading rate could be improved and the release rate was postponed with an increase of POSS-PLA content in the carries. The release mechanism gradually changed from the first-order to the zero-order pattern after the modification.

OBJECTIVETo determine the contents of thymidine phosphorylase (TP) and dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD) in pancreatic cancer to provide a basis for the clinical use of capecitabine in pancreatic cancer patients.
METHODSThe contents of TP and DPD in pancreatic cancer and adjacent normal tissues from 20 patients were determined by ELISA and the TP to DPD ratios in the cancer and adjacent normal tissue were compared.
RESULTSTP content was 5- to 283-fold higher in tumor tissue (mean 74-fold) than in the adjacent normal tissue (P < 0.01). DPD in the cancer tissue increased significantly. So did the TP to DPD ratio, when compared to that in normal pancreatic tissue (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe increased TP to DPD ratio in pancreatic cancer suggests that capecitabine could be activated by the cancer, these capable of selectively kill the tumor cells.
