ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy and safety of anesthesia induction between inhalation of sevoflurane and intravenous injection of propofol for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in elderly patients.Methods40,ASA physical grade Ⅰ ~ Ⅱ patients scheduled to receive elective total knee arthroplasty were allocated to 2 groups at random. Patients in group one( G1 ) received intravenous induction of propofol infusion by a targetcontrolled infusion system which was set at the effect-site concentration of 4.0μg/ml,while patients in group two(G2)received inhalational induction with sevoflurane using vital capacity manoeuver at the target of end-expiratory concentration of 3.0%. We observed the whole procedure of anesthesia induction and LMA insertion, while recording the changes in hemodynamic state and occurrence of adverse events. ResultsMore than 85% patients achieved LMA insertion at first attempt using either induction manoeuver. Although consciousness loss time in G1 was 39. ls longer than G2, there was no difference in anesthesia induction time for LMA insertion between these two groups. Contrary to a significant decrease in MAP following induction for patients in G1, there appeared hemodynamically stable in patients of G2,while apnea also significantly seldom occurred in G2 as compared to G1 (20% vs 85% ,P <0. 05).ConclusionAs compared to intrvenous induction with propofol, inhalation induction with sevoflurane provided a valuable alternative for LMA insertion in adults.

BACKGROUND: Previous experiments have shown that transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?1),matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) play an important role in chronic allograft nephropathy,but the mechanisms remains unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression and significance of TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in the renal tissues of chronic allograft nephropathy and normal renal tissues. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING: A histological and morphological control observational experiment of cytology was performed at Pathological Laboratory of the 175th hospital from June to October 2008. PARTICIPANTS: The transplanted renal tissues extracted from 24 patients with chronic allograft nephropathy were used in the experiment,and the normal renal tissues in 10 patients were assigned as controls. METHODS: Immunohistochemical staining was performed in all the renal tissues. All the renal tissues were fixed with formaldehyde and embedded by paraffin wax. Then the sections were prepared with a thickness of 3 ?m,and were then closed with normal non-immune serum. Subsequently,the sections were incubated as follows: primary antibody,secondary antibody,streptavidin peroxidase complex,and diaminobenzidine (DAB),followed by HE counterstaining. The sections were cleared and coverslipped. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expressions of TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 in the renal tissues were observed by immunohistochemical staining. The relationships among TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1,as well as between them and the grade of chronic allograft nephropathy were analyzed. RESULTS: Qualitative analysis: The TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 showed strongly positive expressions in the cytoplasm and membrane of renal tubular epithelial cells in transplanted renal tissues. Quantitative analysis: There were significant differences in expression of TGF-?1,MMP-2 and TIMP-1 between in transplanted renal tissues and in normal renal tissues (P

Objective To observe the histopathologic and ultrastructural characteristics of cornea and adjacent conjunctiva in Mooren’s ulcer. Methods The samples of limbal and central cornea and adjacent bulbar conjunctiva taken from active Mooren’s ulcer after lamellar keratoplasty were cut into paraffin sections and ultrathin sections and observed by light and transmission electron microscopy. The samples taken from patients of a Terrien’s marginal degeneration and a bacterial corneal ulcer were used as controls. Results Chronic inflammation including lymphocytes and plasma cells infiltrating existed in bulbar conjunctiva and sclera of Mooren’s ulcer. Limbal corneal epithelium, Bowman’s membrane, anterior stroma and adjacent superficial sclera melted and the inferior stromal collagen disorganized. The epithelial basement membrane of ulcer progressive edge had been destroyed while the epithelium and stroma kept quiescent. Lymphocytes infiltrated in conjunctiva and corneal epithelium of Terrien’s marginal degeneration with normal epithelial basement membrane, while Bowman’s membrane was destroyed. The epithelial basement membrane of bacterial corneal ulcer was intact. Conclusion Bulbar conjunctiva may act as a local lymph node of Mooren’s ulcer. Epithelial basement membrane of Mooren’s ulcer may have some abnormality as it was invaded first during ulcer progressing and it’s valuable to have a further study.

To investigate the effects of oleanolic acid (OA) on the proliferation, migration and the formation of tube-like structure in human vascular endothelial cells (HUVECs). MTT assay, flat plate scarification, Transwell plates and matrigel-induced tube formation assay were performed to detect the effects of OA on proliferation, migration and tube formation. MTT assay showed that the inhibition rates of HUVECs treated with 60 and 100 microg x mL(-1) of OA for 24 h were 19% and 83% respectively. Treatment of HUVECs significantly inhibited the cell migration in a dose-dependent manner. The vascular indexes of HUVECs treated with 40 and 60 microg x mL(-1) OA were 33% and 20% respectively. Western blotting analysis showed that treatment of the cells with OA significantly attenuated the expression and secretion of VEGF. Additionally, VEGF could in part reverse the effects of OA on migration and tube formation of HUVECs. In conclusion, OA inhibits the proliferation, and VEGF plays an important role in OA induced decreased migration and tube formation of HUVECs.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel therapy has been used for prevention and treatment of degenerative disc disease. Considering the special microenvironment in the intervertebral disc, the survival rate and differentiation ability of transplanted cels are decreased, which may lead to the poor efficacy of stem cel therapy. How to improve the survival ability and therapeutic effect of the transplanted cels is the focus of stem cel therapy for degenerative disc disease.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of cobalt chloride combined with hypertonic solution pretreatment on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels that wil be transplanted for treatment of degenerative disc disease.
METHODS:(1)In vitro cel experiment: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were divided into three groups and subjected to normal culture medium (normal control group), 1% hypertonic mother solution (hypertonic group), 100 μmol/L cobalt chloride (hypoxia group), or 1% hypertonic mother solution plus 100 μmol/L cobalt chloride (combined group) for 1 week. Then, 2% hypertonic solution and 200 μmol/L cobalt chloride cobalt chloride were used to simulate the anaerobic and hypertonic environment intervenes in pretreated and untreated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels for 24 hours. After that, RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of caspase-3 for apoptosis evaluation. (2)In vivo animal experiment: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into model, cel transplantation and hypertonic plus hypoxic groups. Rat models of intervertebral disc degeneration were made in these three groups. After modeling, rats in these three groups were given no treatment, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation or transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels which were subjected to hypertonic and hypoxia pretreatments into the intervertebral disc. Two weeks later, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR methods were used to detect cel distribution and related gene expression, respectively, thereby to evaluate the therapeutic effect of stem cels.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1)In vitro cel experiment: caspase-3 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in pretreated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels compared with the untreated cels (P < 0.05). (2)In vivo animal experiment: compared with the control group, the caspase-3 and interleukin-1β in the intervertebral disc and a number of degenerative indexes were decreased in the cel transplantation. Compared with the cel transplantation group, these indicators had better outcomes in the hypertonic plus hypoxic group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels have therapeutic potential for degenerative disc disease, and have better adaptability and transplantation effects by hypertonic and hypoxia pretreatments.
