BACKGROUND:Pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease is not completely understood, and there is yet no effective therapy that can prevent the neurodegenerative process of the disease fundamentaly. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP) on lactacystin-induced Parkinson’s disease dopaminergic PC12 cel apoptosis and its molecular mechanism. METHODS: Under induction by nerve growth factors, PC12 cels differentiated into dopaminergic neurons, and then were treated with different concentrations of lactacystin for different time. When the cel survival rate was about 50%,the concentration and action time oflactacystin were selected to establish cel models of Parkinson’s disease. In the study, there were control group, lactacystin group, PACAP1-27 group (intervention group 1) and PACAP1-27+PACAP6-27 co-intervention group (intervention group 2). Changes of cel morphology were observed under inverted microscope; cel viability was detected with MTT method; the expression of endoplasmic reticulum stress specific protein caspase-12 was detected by western blot. Then the action of PACAP1-27 and PACAP6-27 to the cytoxicity of lactacystin was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: With different concentrations and action time of lactacystin, the viability of PC12 cels presented a concentration- and time-dependent decline. When the lactacystin at 20μmol/L acted for 24 hours, the cel viability was declined by about 50%. Under same conditions of lactacystin concentration and action time (20 μmol/L, 24 hours), the cels in the lactacystin group appeared to have damaged changes, declined cel viability, and increased caspase-12 activity in comparison with the control group (P< 0.01). Compared with the lactacystin group, the cel damage was relieved and cel viability was increased significantly in the intervention group 1 as wel as the expression of caspase-12 was decreased (P < 0.01). Experimental findings in the intervention group 2 were similar to those in the lactacystin group. These results suggest that lactacystin, an ubiquitin proteasome inhibitor, can lead to cel damage; PACAP1-27 plays a protective role by regulating the above-mentioned signal pathway. As one PACAP1-27 receptor antagonist, PACAP6-27 can attenuate this effect of PACAP1-27.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the role of EGF and TNF in the fetal wound healing process.

METHODSOn a fetal wound healing model with the maternal rabbit on 22-23 days of pregnancy (term = 31-32 days), the contents of EGF and TNF were analyzed with a RIA kit, compared to the maternal rabbit group and the adult rabbit group.

RESULTSThe EGF and TNF contents in the fetal wound were both increasing 3 days after the operation and maintained in a high level until the 7th day of the wound healing process(P < 0.05). However, the EGF and TNF contents in the maternal and adult rabbit groups were only kept at a high level during the 3 days after the surgery.

CONCLUSIONThe results are indicated that the EGF and TNF may play an important role in fetal wound healing.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect and complications of transurethral plasmakinetic prostatectomy (TUPKP) in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

METHODSAll 313 patients underwent TUPKP, and the operative indexes and perioperative blood indexes were recorded. After operation, 290, 288 and 142 cases of BPH were followed up at 1 month, 3 months and 1 year respectively. Qmax, IPSS and QOL were measured in all the catamneses.

RESULTSThe operative time was (51 +/- 22) min; the mount of blood loss was (66 +/- 60) ml; no TURS occurred in any cases. The mean catheterization time was (11 +/- 10) h and the mean postoperative stay was (3.6 +/- 1.3) d. Qmax increased from (9.0 +/- 4.4) ml/s to (20.5 +/- 7.1) ml/s at 1 month, (21.8 +/- 5.4) ml/s at 3 months and (21.4 +/- 6.6) ml/s at 1 year after operation (P < 0.01). Correspondingly, IPSS decreased from (26.2 +/- 5.1) score to (6.0 +/- 9.0) score, (5.6 +/- 0.8) score and (4.4 +/- 2.7) score (P < 0.01), and the QOL of all the catamneses significantly improved.

CONCLUSIONTUPKP, a safe and effective method with fewer complications, can be recommended for the treatment of BPH.

Objective: To study the feasibility of ¹⁸F-fluoro-L-dihydroxyphenylalanine positron emission tomography/Computed tomography (¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT) scanning in the localization and differential diagnosing of focal versus diffuse form of pancreas lesions in patients with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia (HH). Method: Twenty-four patients were diagnosed with HH between January, 2016 and February, 2017 in the Department of Pediatric Endocrinology and Inherited Metabolic Diseases, Children′s Hospital of Fudan University using an integrated clinical and biochemical diagnostic protocol, domestic ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT imaging technique were applied after MRI and ultrasound failed to detect pancreas lesions. Pancreas ¹⁸F-DOPA standardized uptake values (SUV) were measured, and pancreas′ lesions were dually analyzed via visual method and pancreas percentage SUV method. Among these patients, 9 patients received surgical pancreatic lesion resections, the correlations among surgical outcomes, histopathological findings and ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT scan results were analyzed. Result: Seven patients were detected with focal form of pancreas lesions, the mean peak of SUV was 4.7±1.7(2.6-7.1), and 17 patients were found to have diffuse form lesions after ¹⁸F-DOPA-PET/CT scanning. Among the 24 cases, 9 patients (7 showed focal and 2 showed diffuse ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT pancreatic uptake)were euglycemic without any medical support after surgery; the resected pancreatic tissue histopathological results were consistent with that of PET/CT imaging. Only one patient, who responded to medical treatment before surgery, had temporary hyperglycemia after operation. Conclusion Domestic ¹⁸F-DOPA PET/CT could successfully locate and differentiate the pancreatic lesions and thus improve the success of surgery.

Objective:To investigate the pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.Methods:One hundred and four pediatric patients of either sex, aged 3-36 months, of American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, diagnosed with oblique inguinal hernia and/or hydrocele, scheduled for laparoscopic high ligation of hernia sac and/or high ligation of sphingoid surgery, were included in the study. Intraoperative neuromuscle relaxation was assessed by transdermal stimulation of the ulnar nerve in the wrist using a TOF Guard monitor. Rocuronium 0.9 mg/kg, propofol 3 mg/kg, and sufentanyl 0.5 μg/kg were intravenously injected for anesthesia induction, and propofol 6-8 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused to maintain anesthesia. The pediatric patients were divided into Ⅰgroup and Ⅱ group according to the degree of postoperative neuromuscular block. In group Ⅰ, sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected when TOF returned to T 2 recurrence. In group Ⅱ, sugammadex 4 mg/kg was intravenously injected when the single stimulation count was 1 or 2 after tetanic stimulation. At 2 and 10 min after rocuronium administration, at the end of operation, 2 and 10 min after sugammadex administration, and when the children met the standard of leaving the resuscitation room, venous blood samples were collected for determination of plasma concentrations of rocuronium and sugammadex using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Pharmacokinetic parameters were determined using the Pheonix WinNonlin software. The onset of rocuronium and time for recovery of TOF ratio to 90% were recorded. Results:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex was fitted to the nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model.There was no significant difference in the peak concentration, area under the drug concentration-time curve, elimination half-life, apparent clearance, apparent volume of distribution, mean retention time, and time for TOF ratio returning to 90% between the two groups ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:The pharmacokinetics of sugammadex in reversal of rocuronium-induced muscle relaxant residual is fitted to a nonlinear mixed-effect satrioventricular model, and sugammadex 2 and 4 mg/kg have similar pharmacokinetics in infants and young children undergoing daytime surgery.
