Objective To compare the efficacy of sevoflurane inhalation and remifentanil-propofol anesthesia in patients undergoing total gastrectomy. Methods Forty ASA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients with gastric cancer were divided into sevoflurane inhalation anesthesia (group S) and remifentanil-propofol intravenous anesthesia(group P), with 20 cases each. Perioperative hemodynamic veriables, bispectral index (BIS) values and end-tidal concentration of sevoflurane were continuously monitored. The time of recovery from anesthesia and adverse reactions of anesthesia were recorded as well. Results Compared with those before anesthesia, BP and HR were significantly decreased (P< 0. 05). The depth of anesthesia in both groups was maintained well with BIS in 45-60 and vital signs were stable during operation. The recovery from anesthesia was quicker in group P than that in group S. The incidences of restlessness and couphing were obviously lower in group P than those in group S (P<0.05). Conclusion Either sevoflurane inhalation or remifentanil-propofol intravenous anesthesia can be used safely in total gastrectomy.

Objective To evaluate the surgical procedures and both oncological and functional outcome in patients with bone tumors of the shoulder girdle.Methods Seventy-one patients including 61.pts with malignant tumor and 10 pts with giant cell tumors of the shoulder girdle treated in our department from July 1998 to July 2006 were studied retrospectively.According to the location,there were 15 pts with scapula tumor and 56 pts with proximal humeral tumor.Forty-two male pts and 29 female pts were included in this study with an average age of 36.5 years old ranging from 11.to 62 years old.Surgical procedures:forequarter amputation in 10 pts;Scapulectomy in 3 pts;Scapulectomy and artificial scapular replacement in 3pts;partial scapulectomy and proximal humerus resection with prosthetic reconstruction in 8 pts;proximal humerus resection and prosthesis replacement in 47 pts.Results Due to adequate soft tissue was preserved,the mean functional score was 28 for the pts with giant cell tumor according to MSTS functional scoring system,compared with the functional score 23 for the pts with malignant tumor because the deltoid muscle insertion was resected in the latter group.Among the thirty-seven patients with osteosarcoma,local recurrence occurred in four cases(10.8%),lung metastasis in five and bone metastasis in two.The seven patients died of disease.One patient iagnosed of malignancy in giant cell tumor died after distal metastasis.thtee patients with Ewing sarcoma died of the disease.No recurrence Wag observed in both five humeral chondrosarcoma and five scapular chondrosarcoma.Conclusion Tumot resection and proximal humeral prostbesis replacement is the optimal method for the sarcoma of shoulder girdle in term of preservation of elbow and hand function.Preservation of abductor insertion is necessary for good abduction function.The metastatic rate of proximal humeral osteosarcoma was lower than that of lower extremities.also the prognosis of oncological outcome.Intra-articular and extra-atticular tumor resection produced similar local recurrence rate in the present study,which suggested intra-articular resection may be an altemafive procedure.

In order to explore the effect of flipped classroom in theoretical teaching of biochemistry,lipids metabolism was selected to carry out four stages flipped classroom.The teaching effect of flipped classroom was evaluated by test and questionnaire survey of students.The results indicated that most undergraduate students could accept novel teaching method.However,the consciousness and the ability of students' independent learning need to be further improved.It also takes time for the students to adapt to the transition from traditional teaching to flipped c1assroom.In summary,the specificity of Biochemistry may limit the carrying out of flipped classroom to some extent.Therefore,which kind of teaching method is adopted depends on the biochemistry theoretical content.Our work may provide some references for further application of flipped classroom in biochemistry teaching.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pharmacokinetics of zolpidem tartrate tablet in Han healthy volunteers. METHODS: 10 Han health volunteers were given 10 mg zolpidem tartrate tablet via p.o. The plasma concentrations were determined by HPLC-fluorescence method and the pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0.1 software. RESULTS: The plasma concentration-time curve of zolpidem tartrate is fitted to one-compartment model with a first order absorption. The main pharmacokinetic parameters were as follows: tmax(0.9?0.5)h,Cmax(190.8?70.6)?g?L-1, t1/2(2.2?0.6)h,Vd/F(0.938?0.256)L?kg-1, CL/F (18.09?10.22)L?h-1, AUC0～12(624.9?190.8) ?g?h?L-1, AUC0～∞(650.1?208.4)?g?h?L-1. CONCLUSION: The pharmacokinetic parameters of zolpidem tartrate in healthy volunlteers are concordant with that stated in literature reports, which can be the basis of pharmacokinetic study in people of different nationalities.

SHG was sulfated by chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method, and six samples which we got were prepared in different reaction conditions. There is a characteristic absorption peak near 260 nm in UV spectra and there are two characteristic absorption peaks near 1240 cm(-1) and 810 cm(-1) in the FT-IR. Degree of sulfation (DS) was calculated by elemental analysis and turbidimetry. Under the same conditions the absorption peaks become strong with the DS increase. The anticoagulant activity of SHG and sulfated modification samples was evaluated by the classic coagulant assays of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT) live enzymes, and plasma thrombin time (TT). Results show that sulfated SHG has a good anticoagulant activity in vitro, and DS increased activity within a certain range.

A new, convenient, and rapid method for kinetic measurement of human fibrinolysis was established. The alteration of absorbance (A) in the process of blood coagulation and lyses was automatically scanned and recorded using a UV2000 spectrophotometer connected to a computer. The parameters of human fibrinolysis kinetics were established. Urokinase at 20 U/mL was the optimal concentration used. There was significant difference in fibrinolysis kinetics and plasma plasminogen concentration between 22 normal subjects and 27 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (P<0.05 and <0.01 respectively). The coefficience of variation was (5.24+/-1.51)%. This method could also be used to measure the plasma fibrinogen concentration at the same time. It was concluded that this method was stable and was capable of providing dynamic, direct experimental data and multiparemeters for clinicians. It was also valuable in evaluating the anti-and pro-fibrinolytic capcity of patients' plasmas, allowing for monitoring of therapy, choice of drugs and adjustment of drug concentrations.

BACKGROUND: Most animal experiments of transgene are derived from mice; therefore, it is necessary to establish a focal cerebral ischemiareperfusion model and significant to prevent and cure ischemic cerebrovascular diseases.OBJECTIVE: To establish a convenient and reliable model with middle cerebral artery occlusion reperfusion (MCAO/R) in mice.DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal study.SETTING: Institute of Cerebrovascular disease, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University.MATERIALS: Twenty healthy BALB/c mice, of both genders, weighing 25-30 g, of SPF grade, were divided into sham operation group (n=5), ischemia group (n=10) and 22-hour reperfusion group (n=5) on the basis of digital table. In addition, according to digital table, 130 healthy male Kunming mice were divided into sham operation group (n=10), 24-hour ischemia group (n=30), 2-hour ischemia/22-hour, 46-hour and 70-hour reperfusion groups with 30 in each group; meanwhile, 30 female mice were divided into sham operation group, 24-hour ischemia group and 2-hour ischemia/22-hour reperfusion group with 10 in each group. All Kunming mice were weighing 25-30 g and of SPF grade.METHODS: The experiment was carried out in the Institute of Cerebrovascular Disease, Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University from July 2005 to March 2006. The 6-0 suture with silica gel covered at an end was sent from the left external carotid artery (ECA) into internal carotid artery (ICA) till arriving at the initiation of middle cerebral artery (MCA) to block the blood stream in it, then drawing the suture from ICA 2 hours after occlusion to accomplish reperfusion. Mice were cut off their heads in sham operation group at 24 hours after operation, in ischemia group at 24 hours after blocking blood stream and in reperfusion group at 24, 48 and 72 hours after operation. Reliability of models was evaluated with neurology score and tetrazolium chloride stain. Longa standard scores: neurology score ≥ 1 point was regarded as successful models;coronal sections of brain tissue were stained with tetrazolium chloride, and the white region was regarded as infarcted volume.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Neurology score and infarcted volume after staining of triphenyltetrazolium chloride in brain tissue.RESULTS: All mice were involved in the final analysis. ① Successful rate was 20% of BALB/c mice, 66.7%-73.3% of male Kunming mice and 40%-50% of female Kunming mice. ② Brain sections of BALB/c mice in sham operation group were orange at both sides of cortex and infarction focus was not observed. A big infarcted volume was observed on brain sections of mice in ischemia group, and infarcted volume counted for 50%-70% as homonymy hemisphere on optochiasmatic coronal sections. The condition of Kunming mice was similar to that of BALB/c mice, but infarcted volume counted for 40%-65%. In addition, condition in ischemiareperfusion group was similar to that in ischemia group. A big infarcted volume was observed on brain sections, and infarcted volume counted for 50%-75% as homonymy hemisphere on optochiasmatic coronal sections.The condition of Kunming mice was similar to that of BALB/c mice, but infarcted volume counted for 40%-65%.CONCLUSION: The model with MCAO/R in mice characterizes by relatively smaller trauma, and the ischemic region is stable; therefore, it can be used to accurate timing control of ischemia/reperfusion. This model is an ideal one for researching pathophysiological changes, prognosis and therapy in cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To investigate the changes in circulatory and pulmonary monary angiotensinⅡin rats with acite lung injury(ALI)and explore the role of angiotensinⅡin ALI.Method Thirty S-D rats were randomly divided into control group(n=6)and ALI group(n=24).The ALI group was further divided into four subgroups of observation at various intervals,3,6,9 and 12 hours after administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS)into the femoral vein(each n=6).The indices rate,blood gas analysis,wet weight/dry weight(W/D)ratio of lung lobes,and pathological changes were successively observed at 3,6,9,and 12 hours after injury.The content of angiotensinⅡin lung tissue and blood plasma were detected at above set intervals by radioimmunoassay.Data of these assays were analyzed by one-factor analysis of variance.Results Compare with the control group,pH and PaO2 of arterial blood in ALI group decreased significantly(P＜0.05)at all intervals and PaCO2 of arterial blood in ALI group decreased significanfly(P＜0.05).at all intervals and PaCO2 of arterial blood and lung W/D weight ratio increased significantly(P＜0.05),and scores of lung histopathology denoted the lung injuried(P＜0.01).After injury of lung,angiotensin Ⅱ content increased markedly in lung homogenate and blood plasma (P＜0.05).Angiotensin Ⅱ content in blood plasma reached peak value at 9 hours,and content of angiotensin Ⅱ in lung homogenates kept on increasing at allintervals of observation.Conclusions A large amount of angiotensin Ⅱ releases into lung tissue and blood plasma during ALI,suggesting systemic and pulmonary rennin-angiotensin systems are activated.

Objective To investigate the biological effects of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro.Methods Primary ADSCs were harvested from the inguinal fat pads of 4-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats,cultured in vitro and purified by magnetic-activated cell sorting.Surface ADSC markers were identified by flow cytometry.LIPUS at 100 mW/cm2 was used to stimulate the cultured cells.Flow cytometry was performed for cell cycle analysis.Cellular proliferation was evaluated via CCK8 chromatometry,and a proliferation index was calculated.ADSCs were assigned to 4 groups:a negative control group,a LIPUS group,an osteoinduction group and a LIPUS plus osteoinduction group,and treated accordingly.Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was determined at the 7th and 14th day in each group,and calcium nodes were marked by Von Kossa staining.The levels of osteogenic differentiation in the different groups were evaluated.Results The ADSCs of passage 3 expressed CD 34low,and CD29high CD44high,which was consistent with the characteristics of ADSC surface markers.Proliferation was upregulated significantly in the LIPUS group compared with the negative control group.ALP activity was also elevated significantly and it resulted in mine-ralization.The highest mineralization rate was observed in the LIPUS plus osteoinduction group.Conclusions LIPUS not only can stimulate the proliferation of rat ADSCs,it also promotes their osteogenic differentiation.
