Objective To explore the effect, safety and value of propofol combined with fentanyl in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy.Methods 1 200 patients were collected and divided into normal group and painless group,600 cases in each group.Normal gastrointestinal endoscopy was performed on unanesthetic patients,while painless gastrointestinal endoscopy was operated on anesthetic patients with Propofol and Fentanyl.The safety and clinical effect were compared between the two groups.Results 1 200 cases of patients were able to complete the gastrointestinal endoscopy examination successfully with no serious side effects.Compared with normal gastrointestinal endoscopy,the patients undergoing painless gastrointestinal endoscopy examination guaranteed more comfortable experiences,suffering less pain and side effects.The differences were significant between the two groups (all P < 0.05 ).Conclusion Propofol combined with fentanyl in painless gastrointestinal endoscopy was a safe,effective and painless process and was worthy of promoting widely.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of long guidewire exchange technique in performing cerebral angiography via radial artery approach.Methods The clinical data of 257 patients,who received cerebral angiography during the period from June 2014 to May 2016 at Daxing Hospital of Capital Medical University,Beijing,China,were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 257 patients,186 had type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ aortic arch.According to the different looping technologies for Simmons-2 catheter used in the performance of cerebral angiography,these 186 patients were divided into the study group (n=90) and the routine group (n=96).The success rate of radial artery puncturing,the success rate of Simmons-2 catheter looping formation,the success rate of supra-arch arterial catheterization,the time spent for angiography,the radiation exposure time,complications,etc.were recorded.Results The success rate of radial artery puncturing was 100％ in both groups.The success rate of Simmons-2 catheter looping formation in the study group was 97.8％,which was significantly higher than 72.9％ in the routine group (P＜0.05).The success rates of catheterization for the left subclavian artery,left common carotid artery and right carotid artery in the study group were 97.8％,97.8％ and 97.8％ respectively,which were remarkably higher than 72.9％,72.9％ and 72.9％ respectively in the routine group (P＜0.05).No statistically significant difference in the success rates of catheterization for right subclavian artery and for right vertebral artery existed between the two groups (P＞ 0.05).The time spent for angiography in the study group and the routine group was (22.5±9.4) min and (28.3±8.3) min respectively.The radiation exposure time in the study group was (8.9±4.5) min,which was obviously lower than (12.6±6.5) min in the routine group (P=0.017 and P=0.035,respectively).The incidences of complications in the study group and the routine group were 4.4％ and 5.2％ respectively,the difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05).No severe complications,such as intracranial arterial embolie events,puncture bleeding,arterial occlusion,etc.,occurred in all patients of both groups.Conclusion The use of long guidewire exchange technology can improve the success rate of Simmon-2 catheter looping formation and the success rate of supra-arch arterial catheterization,it can also shorten the time for angiography procedure and reduce the radiation exposure time.This technique is very effective with higher safety.Therefore,this long guidewire exchange technique should be used as a common method for cerebral angiopraphy via radial artery approach in patients with type Ⅱ or type Ⅲ aortic arch.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effects and complications in treating colonic polyps between endoscopic submucosal dissection and laparoscopy.Methods 69 colonic polyps patients diagnosed by colonoscopy with the basal body diameter of the colonic polyp >2.0 cm were enrolled in this study. All the patients were divided into study group (n = 41) and control group (n = 28) according to patients' decision, and then treated with ESD and laparoscopic surgery separately. After treatment, all the patients were followed up and repeated colonoscopy after 6 months. Clinical data were recorded and analyzed at the end of the research.Results Patients were successfully operated in both groups. 1 case in each group was diagnosed of malignant tumor and needed further treatment. The average operation time in study group and the control group was (85.00± 36.50) min and (110.00 ± 45.70) min (P < 0.05), length of hospital stay of the two groups were (10.69 ± 3.09) d and (11.61 ± 6.41) d (P < 0.05), and average cost of hospitalization of the two groups were (15.7 ± 2.7) ten thousand RMB and (30.6 ± 5.9) ten thousand RMB (P < 0.05). Percentage of complications in the study group was 2.43% comparing to 14.29% of control group(P < 0.05). 1 case in the study group complicated with enteron hemorrhage. Complications in the control group was 2 cases of ileus, 1 case of infection, 1 case of intestinal fistula. No recurrence was found in the two groups after 6 months in the repeat colonoscopy.Conclusion Both of the two treatments are effective for patients with wide base colonic polyps, but malignant tumor must be cautioned when treating with wide base colonic polyps. Endoscopic submucosal dissection requires proficient skill while with less impairment and cost.

Objective To report the clinical features and inwardly rectifying potassium channel 18 (KCNJ18) gene mutation in a group of patients with thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TTP).Methods Fiftyseven TTP cases (55 male and 2 female) were collected in our clinic from July 2002 to October 2011.The KCNJ18 gene was directly sequenced in 57 TTP patients and 50 health Chinese controls through the nested PCR.According to the results of gene screening,the clinical features of KCNJ18 patients and non-KCNJ18 patients were retrospectively summarized and analyzed.Results In 4 male patients with TPP,we found 3 novel heterogeneous mutations (p.Q126X,p.K360T,p.E388K) and 1 reported mutation (p.A200P) in the KCNJ18 gene.The age of onset was 19-25 years old,and the duration ranged from 2 to 8 hours.The 4 patients all presented severe muscle weakness.The attacks of muscle weakness preceded overt symptoms of hyperthyroidism in the 4 patients. Three patients showed recurrent weakness during the 13-28 months follow-up,while the episodic weakness never appeared when patients got euthyroid. Conclusions The mutations in the KCNJ18 gene are responsible for a part of Chinese patients with TPP.The patients with KCNJ18 mutations have a shorter disease course,severer manifestation,and higher prevalence of recurrence as compared with those TPP patients without KCNJ18 mutations.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of protein induced by vitaminK absence antagonist-Ⅱ (PIVKA-Ⅱ)and al-pha-fetoprotein (AFP)in diagnosing primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC).Methods There were 178 samples from in-patients in Fuzhou Infectious Disease Hospital,including 54 patients with PHC,39 patients with liver cirrhosis,55 patients with hepatitis and 30 cases of healthy.Serum levels of PIVKA-II and AFP levels were detected by LUMI-PULSEG1200 au-tomatic immunity analyzer and Abbott automatic immunity analyzer respectively,and the difference between the levels was compared.Analyzed the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC-AUC)and compared the sensitivity and specificity of single PIVKA-II or AFP assay,and the combined detection of PHC.Results The serum level of PIVKA-Ⅱ in hepatocellular carcinoma group was 274 mAU/ml,which was higher than that in liver cirrhosis group (23 mAU/ml), chronic hepatitis group (26 mAU/ml)and healthy group (21 mAU/ml)(P<0.001),and the levels of AFP in PHC group was 84.0 ng/ml,which was higher than that in liver cirrhosis (21.78 ng/ml)and healthy groups (2.8 ng/ml).But it was not statistically significant (P=0.585)compared with those in the chronic hepatitis group (66.8 ng/ml),the results of re-ceiver operating characteristic (ROC)curve showed that the area under the curve of PIVKA-Ⅱ was 0.776,higher than the AFP (0.649),(Z=2.262,P=0.023 7).Serum PIVKA-Ⅱ (≥40 mAU/ml)had a sensitivity of 78.52% and a specificity of 76.23% in the diagnosis of PHC,While serum AFP (≥10 mg/ml)had a sensitivity of 77.78% and a specificity of 34.64%in the diagnosis of PHC.A combination of serum levels of PIVKA-Ⅱ and AFP could increase the sensitivity in the diagnosis of PHC (vs PIVKA-Ⅱ,P=0.031;vs AFP,P=0.016)and specificity (vs PIVKA-Ⅱ,P=0.004;vs AFP,P=0.001).Con-clusion Serum PIVKA-Ⅱ have high clinical application values in diagnosing PHC.A combination of serum levels of PIV-KA-Ⅱ and AFP could increase the sensitivity and specificity in diagnosis of PHC.

Objective To examine the effects of a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ ligand troglitazone on the proliferation and differentiation of HepG2 cells. Methods After the pretreatment of HepG2 cells with troglitazone, MTT and flow cytometry were used to analyze the proliferation and cell cycle of HepG2 cells, respectively. Immunocytochemistry, bromocresol green dye-binding method and chemiluminessence immunosorbent assay was used to determine E-cadherin, albumin and AFP, respectively. The expression of cyclin D1 and c-myc protein were detected by Western blot. Results Troglitazone inhibited the proliferation of HepG2 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and arrested HepG2 ceils at the G0>/G1> phase. After pretreated with troglitazone, HepG2 cells showed E-cadherin expression, a decreased expression of cyclin D1 and c-myc protein, a reduction of AFP level and a dramatic increase of albumin level. Conclusions Troglitazone inhibits proliferation and induces differentiation of HepG2 cells, the mechanism of which might be attributable to the down-regulation of cyclin D1 and c-myc expression.
