To compare the effect and advantage of performing rhegmatogenous retina detachment surgery under operation microscope with under direct ophthalmoscopes .METHODS: Ninety - three patients ( 93 eyes ) were randomized to two groups, Group A ( under operation microscope during rhegmatogenous retina detachment surgery, 47 cases ) , Group B ( under direct ophthalmoscopes during rhegmatogenous retina detachment surgery, 46 cases ) . All patients were followed up for 2wk to observe success rate and visual improving rate.RESULTS: Total percentage of success was 95. 74% in group A and 80. 43% in group B. The visual improving rate of group A was 82. 98% and it was 67. 39% in group B. Operative time in group A was significantly shorter than that in group B (P<0. 05). CONCLUSlON: Performing rhegmatogenous retina detachment surgery under operation microscope is ascertaining and it is more effective and handy than performing that surgery under direct ophthalmoscopes.

Objective:To explore the clinical effect of multidisciplinary cooperation model in the prevention of acquired dysphagia in ICU.Methods:A multidisciplinary team was set up to collect 118 patients in Neurosurgery ICU of our hospital as the research object. The patients were divided into the experimental group and the control group, 59 cases in each group. The control group implemented the routine nursing measures of ICU, and the experimental group implemented the multidisciplinary cooperative nursing mode. The incidence of ICU acquired swallowing disorders (ICU-ASD) and complications of the two groups were compared.Results:There was no significant difference between the two groups in the incidence of swallowing dysfunction 24 hours after tracheal extubation ( P>0.05). The incidence of swallowing dysfunction 48 hours and 72 hours after tracheal extubation in the control group was 11.86% (7/59) and 16.95% (10/59) respectively, while the test group was 1.69% (1/59) and 3.39% (2/59) respectively. The difference was statistically significant ( χ 2values were 4.827 to 7.230, P< 0.05 or 0.01); the incidence of aspiration, aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition in the control group were 11.86% (7/59), 10.17% (6/59) and 8.47% (5/59), respectively, while the test group were 1.69% (1/59), 0 and 0, respectively, with statistically significant difference ( χ 2value was 4.827, P< 0.05). Conclusion:Multidisciplinary cooperation model can effectively prevent the incidence of ICU-ASD, and ultimately reduce the incidence of complications.

Objective: To observe the effect of Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) on the muscle strength in senile sarcopenia. Methods: Sixty-five old people with sarcopenia were randomized into Yi Jin Jing group and a blank control group. Thirty-three patients in Yi Jin Jing group practiced Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises), while 32 patients in the blank control group didn't receive any interventions. The muscle strength was measured before and after 12-week training. Results: During the study, each group had 1 dropout. The muscle strength was improved after 12-week training in Yi Jin Jing group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in the blank control group (P>0.05). After the intervention, there was a significant difference between Yi Jin Jing group and the blank control group in comparing the muscle strength (P<0.05). Conclusion: Constant Yi Jin Jing (Sinew-transforming Qigong Exercises) training can notably improve skeletal muscle strength in senile sarcopenia.

AIMIn order to elucidate the underlying mechanism of depressed maximal isometric twitch tension normalized by cross sectional area of muscle strip in unloaded soleus.

METHODSThe soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscle strips were perfused in vitro and treated by 2,3-Butanedione monoxime (BDM).

RESULTSThe BDM decreased Pt of soleus and EDL in a concentration-dependent manner. The Pt could restored completely to normal level after washing out BDM. The isometric twitch duration was not altered during 1 mmol/L BDM of perfusion, but was shortened at 10 mmol/L dose. The time from maximal to half Pt in EDL was shorter than that in soleus during 10 mmol/L BDM of perfusion. The inhibitory effects of BDM on myosin ATPase activity were higher in EDL than in soleus. The inhibitory extent of BDM on myosin ATPase activity of soleus and EDL was lower than that on Pt.

CONCLUSIONThese results suggest that reduction in cross-bridge function of skeletal muscle may be one of reasons induced a decrease in its Pt. BDM is not a specific inhibitor on myosin ATPase activity and can affect multiple parts of excitation-contraction coupling in skeletal muscle.

OBJECTIVETo compare the changes of digestive and absorptive functions in three different models of Pi-deficiency syndrome (PDS).

METHODSExperimental mice were divided into four groups, the control group(CG), the rhubarb group (RG), the exhaustion group (EG) and the over-exertion group(OG). Criteria including general physical signs, D-xylose excretion rate, serum amylase activity, velocity of stomach emptying and enterokinesia, serum gastrin content and indexes of organs were determined before and after treatment.

RESULTSDecrease of D-xylose excretion rate and increase of stomach emptying and enterokinesia velocity appeared in all the three PDS models. As compared with CG, changes of all indices in OG were significant, while the decreasing of spleen index and serum amylase activity in EG, and the changes of serum gastrin content and thymus index in RG were insignificantly different.

CONCLUSIONAll the changes in various criteria showed that PDS mice model established by over-exertion was superior to that established by frequently used methods as purging with rhubarb and exhausting by swimming.

This study is to establish physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of famitinib in rat and monkey, and then to predict the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of famitinib in human based on the PBPK models. According to published paper, previous studies and the chemical properties of famitinib predicted by ACD/ADME suite and SimCYP, the PBPK models of rat and monkey were established and optimized using GastroPlus. And then, the PBPK models were applied to predict the pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution of famitinib in human. The results showed that the PBPK models of rat and monkey can fit the observed data well, and the AUC0-∞, ratios of observed and calculated data in rat and monkey were 1.00 and 0.97, respectively. The AUC0-∞, ratios of observed and predicted data in human were 1.63 (rat to human) and 1.57 (monkey to human), respectively. The rat and monkey PBPK models of famitinib were well established, and the PBPK models were applied in predicting pharmacokinetic of famitinib in human successfully. Hence, the PBPK model of famitinib in human could be applied in future drug-drug interaction study.

Objective To study the expression and change of neuropeptide substance P (SP) during the wound healing of deep partial thickness scalding in diabetic rats. Methods Eighty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into diabetes mellitus group (n=42) and control group (n=42). Diabetic rat models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) in diabetes mellitus group, and those in control group were intraperitoneally injected with aseptic citrate buffer solution. Deep partial thickness scalding with diameter of 2 cm on the back were prepared in all the rats. The pre-scalding and post-scalding wound specimens of different time points were obtained, and the percentages of wound closure were calculated. The wound specimens were also obtained for immunohistological staining to compare the areas with positive staining of SP, and ELISA was employed to detect the expression of SP in the wound tissues. Results The percentage of wound closure was significantly lower in diabetes mellitus group than that in control group from 7 days post-scalding (P< 0.01). The areas with positive staining of SP in diabetes mellitus group were much smaller than those in control group at different time points, which was most significant on the seventh day post-scalding[(1 350.93±99.28) μm2 vs(1 715.86± 103.41) μm2](P < 0.01). The expression of SP in the wound tissues was significantly lower in diabetes mellitus group than that in control group at different time points, which was most significant on the seventh day post-scalding[(114.04±9.96) vs(143.39±8.94)](P<0.01). Conclusion The significantly lower expression of SP in wound site may be one of the causes of delayed wound healing in diabetic rats.
