Hyperuricemia mice model was established with uricase inhibitor (potassium oxonate) and uric acids in serum were observed. Polydatin (5, 10, 20 mg · kg(-1)) and benzbromarone (16.7 mg · kg(-1)) were given ig for 7 d in mice. Kidney tissues were used to detect gene contents ofurate anion transporter 1 (URAT1), organic anion transporter 1 (OAT1) and organic anion transporter 3 (OAT3) by real-time-PCR. The results showed that polydatin and benzbromarone can significantly reduce uric acid in blood of hyperuricemia mice (P < 0.05), compared with the model group. URAT1, OAT1 and OAT3 contents of the kidney in hyperuricemia mice changed significantly (P < 0.05), compared with the blank group. Polydatin can significantly inhibit the changing trends in these genes induced by potassium oxonate in a dose-dependent manner, the difference was significant (P < 0.05), compared with the model group. Those indicated that polysatin could reduce the level of the serum uric acid through promoting uric acid excretion.

Objective To explore the treatment effect and prognosis of BiPAP non-invasive ventilator of sequential mechanical ventilation for the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) complicated with pulmonary encephalopathy,and to provide the basis for clinical therapy.Methods According to the digital table,62 AECOPD patients with pulmonary encephalopathy were selected and randomly divided into the two groups.And 30 cases in the control group received routine treatment,and 32 cases in the observation group received BiPAP non-invasive ventilator sequential ventilation.The partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and oxygen saturation (SaO2) before and after treatment,the changes of heart rate,respiratory rate and average arterial pressure of the two groups and the improvement time were observed.Results PaO2 and SaO2 of the two groups after treatment were higher than those before treatment (t =12.30,10.37,11.42,13.71,all P ＜0.05).PaO2 and SaO2 of the observation group after treatment were (77.14 ±4.16)mmHg and (90.37 ± 2.04) ％,which were higher than the control group after the treatment (72.96 ± 3.22) mmHg and (85.80 ± 1.96) ％(t =6.58,7.14,all P ＜ 0.05).PaCO2 of the two groups after treatment was lower than that before treatment (t =9.25,10.22,all P ＜ 0.05).PaCO2 of the observation group after treatment was (50.12 ± 2.86) mmHg,which was lower than that before treatment (54.27 ± 3.01) mmHg (t =6.29,P ＜ 0.05).The heart rate,respiratory rate and mean arterial pressure of the control group and the observation group after treatment were lower than before treatment (t =10.11,9.43,8.66,11.28,8.56,9.15,all P ＜0.05).The heart rate,respiratory rate and mean arterial pressure of the observation group after treatment were (76.52 ± 4.35) times/min,(20.35 ± 1.08) times/min and (83.26 ±3.07)mmHg,which were lower than those of the control group after treatment (t =6.44,5.82,6.70,all P ＜ 0.05).The blood gas improvement time,ventilation time and hospitalization time of the observation group were (4.06 ±1.17)d,(4.53 ±0.90) d and (16.18 ±2.20) d,which were lower than the control group (t =6.13,7.05,5.97,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The BiPAP non-invasive ventilator sequential ventilation for the treatment of AECOPD with pulmonary encephalopathy has good treatment effect,which can improve the difficult ventilation of patients,avoid hypoxia and CO2 retention,shorten treatment time.

BACKGROUND: There are different methods to isolate and culture human nucleus pulposus cells, and the differences in digestive enzymes components and digestion time quite are significant. So how to rapidly and efficiently harvest human nucleus pulposus cells has become a research hotspot. OBJECTIVE: To optimize the digestive enzymes components and digestion methods for the preparation of human nucleus pulposus cells. METHODS: Nucleus pulposus tissue specimens were selected from three adult discs in the Department of Orthopedics, China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University. The acute traumatic disc tissues that outstanding to the spinal canal were taken under aseptic conditions, and then the peripheral white annulus and jel y-like nucleus pulposus in the center could be seen. According to different mixed enzyme concentration ratio, the samples were divided into two groups. The enzyme Ⅰ group was treated with 0.2% Ⅱ col agenase; and the mixed enzymeⅡ group was digested with 0.25% trypsin for 30 minutes, and then treated with 0.2% Ⅱ col agenase. According to digestion time, each group was divided into three subgroups: 2 hours group, 4 hours group, and overnight group. Final y, suspended cel volume was decided as 2 mL to count cells. Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing fetal bovine serum was used for cel culture in vitro. Trypan blue staining was performed to count total cel number and ratio of living cells. Methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide assay was used to detect the growth curve of nucleus pulposus cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Based on the two digestion enzyme concentration, the number of digested cells in the enzyme Ⅰ group was larger than that in the enzyme Ⅱ group after digested for 2 and 4 hours, but the difference was not significant (P > 0.05). Overnight, cellsurvival rate was decreased in the enzyme Ⅰ group after digested for 2 and 4 hours when compared with the enzyme Ⅱ group, and the difference was significant (P < 0.05). After digested for 4 hours, tissue blocks disappeared, and the number of cells reached maximum. The results indicate that enzyme Ⅰgroup composite with Ⅱ col agenase is benefit for the separation of nucleus pulposus cells, and the digestion time is appropriate to 4 hours. This condition has the advantages of simple operation, high efficiency and low cost, and it considered that digestion of nucleus pulposus tissues with 0.2% Ⅱ col agenase for 4 hours is the best condition to obtain nucleus pulposus cells.

Objective To probe into the treatment method of filter channel obstruction after trabeculectomy. Methods Filter channel obstruction occurred in 25 eyes within one month after trabeculectomy,and they were retrospectively analyzed. According to different parts of obstruction,they were divided into three types namely inner obstruction, middle obstruction and outer obstruction. Patients with inner ob-struction were given miosis, separation of the anterior synechia, and expansion of peripheral iris incision when necessary. Patienrts with mid-dle obstruction were given reconstruction of the trabecular incision. Patienrts with outer obstruction were given conjunctiva or sclera flap dis-section within 1 month afer trabeculectomy. Results Postoperative IOP ( intraocular pressure) decreased significantly compared with preop-erative IOP. The IOP stabilized at 13~21 mmHg in the fallowing 6~12 months after operation. Conclusion Taking appropriate measures could restore the filtration function within one month after trabeculectomy when the incision adhesion was not very close.

Objective To investigate the placental transfer and neonatal effects of dexmedetomidine during the cesarean section under general anesthesia.Methods Thirty-eight nulliparous parturients,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 22-37 yr,weighing 56-82 kg,who were at full term with a singleton fetus,scheduled for elective caesarean section under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=19 each) using a random number table:dexmedetomidine group (group D) and normal saline group (group N).In group D,dexmedetomidine was infused in a loading dose of 0.6 μg/kg starting from 10 min before induction of anesthesia,followed by an infusion of 0.4 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until peritoneal closure.Group N received the equal volume of normal saline.Blood samples were collected from the maternal artery (MA),umbilical vein (UV),and umbilical artery (UA) for blood gas analysis and for determination of plasma dexmedetomidine concentrations (CMA,CUV and CUA) by high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry,and CUV/CMA and CUA/CUV were calculated.Apgar scores were recorded at 1 and 5 min after delivery,and the occurrence of respiratory depression was also recorded.The I-D interval (the time from administration of anesthetics to delivery) and U-D interval (the time from incision of the uterus to delivery) were recorded.Results There were no significant differences in the blood gas analysis parameters in blood samples collected from the MA,UV and UA,I-D interval,U-D interval,and Apgar scores between the two groups (P＞0.05).No neonatal respiratory depression was found in both groups.In group D,CMA,CUV and CUA were 471±119,359±88 and (321±78) ng/ml,respectively,CUV/CMA was 0.76±0.06,and CUA/CUV was 0.89±0.03.Conclusion Although the metabolism of dexmedetomidine is little after easy placental transfer,dexmedetomidine has no adverse effects on the newborn during the cesarean section under general anesthesia.

Objective To compare dexmedetomidine administered via different routes for epidural anesthesia during second cesarean section.Methods Sixty parturients who were at full term with a singleton fetus,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 22-38 yr,weighing 58-84 kg,undergoing a second caesarean section under epidural anesthesia,were divided into 3 groups (n=20 each) using a random number table:Ⅳ infusion of dexmedetomidine conbined with epidural injection of ropivacaine group (VDER group),epidural injection of a mixture of ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine group (ERD group) and epidural injection of ropivacaine group (ER group).The epidural puncture was performed at L2,3.After identification of the epidural space and a negative aspiration test for blood or cerebrospinal fluid,the mixture of 0.75％ ropivacaine 15 ml and 0.9％ normal saline 2 ml was injected epidurally,and dexmedetomidine 1 μg/kg was intravenously infused for 10 min at the same time in VDER group;the mixture of 0.75％ ropivacaine 15 ml and 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine 2 ml was injected epidurally in ERD group;the mixture of 0.75％ ropivacaine 15 ml and 0.9％ normal saline 2 ml was injected epidurally in ER group.The onset time of epidural block,maximum level ofepidural block,time to reach the maximum epidural block and time of sensory block were recorded.Ramsay sedation scores were assessed at 30 miu after the end of epidural administration,and intraoperative traction reaction was also assessed.The development of hypotension,bradycardia,respiratory depressim and shivering was observed.The number of patients in whom remifentanil was used before delivery and Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min after birth were recorded.Results Compared with VDER group and ER group,the onset time and time to reach the maximum epidural block were significantly shortened,and the time of sensory block was prolonged in ERD group (P＜0.05).Compared with ER group,the rate of satisfactory sedation was significantly increased,the number of patients in whom remifentanil was used before delivery was decreased,the degree of intraoperative traction reaclion was mitigated,and the incidence of respiratory depression and shivering was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in Apgar scores at 1 and 5 min after birth in VDER and ERD groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion Both Ⅳ and epidural dexmedetomidine can enhance the efficacy of epidural anesthesia during second cesarean section,producing no adverse effects on neonates;epidural injection of a mixture of ropivacaine and dexmedetomidine provides faster onset and prolonged time of sensory block,which is helpful for postoperative analgesia.

Objective To study the clinical manifestation,diagnosis,differential diagnosis and the essentials of management and treatment of fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP).Methods Three cases of FOP were reported.The features of clinical manifestation and radiography were studied.The literature related to FOP was reviewed.Results FOP affected young children′s age of onset was between 10 days and 2 years (mean age 1 3 years).Mean disease duration was 5 3 years (range 2～11 years),and mean age 5 3 years (range 2～11 years) with sex ratio 1∶2 (boy∶girl).Soft tissue swelling in cervical and dorsal regions with or without local pain and warmth,and low fever were the early clinical manifestations.These nodules usually disappeared spontaneously,but some of nodules gradually developed ossification.The X ray features included ectopiac ossification most frequently in the soft tissue of the upper back and neck,next,the loin,chest and extremities.Two cases showed short hallux and hallux valgus.Exacerbation of the two cases was precipitated after muscle biopsy and careless venepuncture.All patients showed progressive extra articular bony ankylosis of most joints of axial and/or appendicular skeleton with severe movement restriction.Conclusion FOP is a rare and disabling genetic disorder of connective tissue.FOP should be diagnosed as early as possible and non invasively,based upon history,clinical and radiological findings.The finding of abnormalities of the great toe is helpful to diagnose FOP so that management can be early and adequate.Manogement principle includes avoiding conditions potentially provocative of abnormal ossification.The disease should be familiar to pediatricians.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference of RapidArc and fixed gantry angle dynamic IMRT (dIMRT) for loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods Ten previously treated patients with loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma were replanned with RapidArc and dIMRT, respectively.The prescription dose was GTV 70 Gy/33 f and PTV 60 Gy/33 f.All plans met the requirement:95% of PTV was covered by 60 Gy.Dose-volume histogram data, isodose distribution, monitor units,and treatment time were compared.Results Dose distribution has no significant difference between the two techniques.RapidArc reduced the dose of the brainstem, mandible, and other normal tissues compared with dIMRT.Mean monitor units were 589.5 and 1381.0 for RapidArc and dIMRT (reduced by 57% relatively).Mean treatment time was 2.33 min and 7.82 min for RapidArc and dIMRT (reduced by 70% relatively).Conclusions Compared with dIMRT, RapidArc achieves equal target coverage and OAR sparing while using fewer monitor units and less time during radiotherapy for patient with loco-regionally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.

Objective To compare the dosimetric difference between RapidArc and fixed gantry angle dynamic intensity modulated radiotherapy (dIMRT) in developing the pre-operative radiotherapy for rectal cancer patients.Methods Two techniques,RapidArc and dIMRT,were used respectively to develop the synchronous intensity modulated plans for 10 stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ rectal cancer patients at the dose of gross tumor volume (GTV) of 50.6 Gy divided into 22 fractions and planning target volume (PTV) of 41.8 Gy divided into 22 fractions.Both plans satisfied the condition of 95% of PTV covered by 41.8 Gy.The dose-volume histogram data,isodose distribution,monitor units,and treatment time were compared.Results The two kinds of dose volume histogram (DVH) developed by these two techniques were almost the same.The conformal indexes of GTV and PTV by RapidArc were better than those by dIMRT (t =7.643,8.226 ,P < 0.05),while the homogeneity of target volume by dIMRT was better (t =-10.065,-4.235 ,P <0.05).The dose of rectum and small bowel planned by RapidArc was significantly lower than that by dIMRT (t =2.781 ,P <0.05).There were no significant differences in the mean doses of bladder and femoral head between these two techniques.The mean monitor units of RapidArc was 475.5,fewer by 48.5% in comparison with that by the dIMRT (924.6).The treatment mean time by RapidArc was 1.2min,shorter by 79.5% in comparison with that by dIMRT (5.58 min).Conclusions There is no significant dosimetric difference between the two plans of RapidArc and dIMRT.Compared with dIMRT,RapidArc achieves equal target coverage and organs at risk(OAR) sparing while using fewer monitor units and less time during radiotherapy for patient with rectal cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of complete mesogaster excision in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.Methods The clinical data of 100 patients with distal gastric cancer who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University from January 2011 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.All the patients underwent complete mesogaster excision in D2 radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.The operation quality was evaluated according to operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,mean number of lymph nodes dissected,time to flatus,volume of drainage and duration of postoperative hospital stay.Patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till May 2014.Results Complete mesogaster excision in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer was successfully carried out on all the 100 patients.The operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,mean number of lymph nodes dissected,time to flatus,volume of drainage and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (118 ± 34) minutes (range,90-160 minutes),(80±25)mL (range,45-135 mL),38± 10 (range,25-52),(3.0 ± 1.2)days (range,1.5-4.5 days),(62±15)mL (range,15-85 mL) and (7.0±1.5)days (range,4.0-11.5 days),respectively.According to the postoperative pathological results,there were 36 patients with high differentiated gastric carcinoma,38 with moderate and/or low differentiated gastric carcinoma,17 with low differentiated gastric carcinoma and 9 with signet ring cell carcinoma.After operation,3 patients had gastroplegia,2 with poor healing of abdominal incision,2 with duodenal stump fistula,1 with pancreatic fistula,and all of them were cured by conservative treatment.All the 100 patients were followed up for a mean time of 25.6 months (range,17.6-39.2 months).There was no tumor recurrence.Conclusions Complete mesogaster excision in the radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer is safe and feasible,with the advantage of minimal trauma,low morbidity and quick recovery during the follow up.
