[Objective]To investigate the key points of treatment and effect of schmannomas in brachial plexus and peripheral nerves.[Method] Thirty-eight cases of schwannomas in brachial plexus and peripheral nerves were verified with pathology and clinical from 1999 to 2007.There were one case in accessory nerve,2 cases in cervical plexus cutaneous nerve,6 cases in brachial plexus,2 cases in lumbar plexus,17 cases in upper extremity,10 cases in lower extremity.Microsurgical removal of the tumors was done in 37 cases.They were monitored with negro-electro phsiology in operation.The other one case was repaired for nerve grafting after the tumor was cut off.The complexed parts were all examined with MRI before surgery,and all tumors were verified for schwannoma with pathyology.[Result]In 38 cases,there were no function deficit and recurrence over a period of follow up from 6 months to 7 years in 36 cases.The partial intrinsic muscle palsy was present postoperatively in one case of the schwannomas in ulnar nerve with microsurgery of tumor,and recovered after 10 days.After the schwannoma in L4 nerves were cut off and the nerves was grafted,the myodynamia of quadriceps femoris were decreased two degree below,the treatment effect of nerve grafting were being followed up. [Conclusion](1)The technique of microsurgery was used under the microscopic operating,the tumors should be cut off for the most degree to decrease the recurrence possibility,remain the normal neuro-function.(2) The MRI examination should be carried out before the schwannoma operating in the complex pares of the crans,brachial plxus,lumbar plexus and etc.(3) All the schwannoma should be verified by pathyology after surgery.

Objective To disccuss the antioxidative effects of sodium ozagrel(OZG) in myocardial ischemia in rats and illuminate its effect of decreasing oxidative damage.Methods Forty healthy Wistar rats were randomly devided into five groups:control,model,pretreatment,treatment and therapeutic alliance groups.OZG was used for 2 weeks in pretreatment group,then isoprenaline hydrochloride (ISO) was applied to make myocardial ischemia model.5 min after the establishment of model,OZG and OZG combined with glyceryl trinitrate(GT) were used in treatment group and therapeutic alliance group,respectively,ECG was recorded at the same time.1 h later,the activities of serum myocardial creatases(AST,LDH,CK),malonaldehyde(MDA) level and superoxide dismutase(SOD) activity were detected.Results ECG:When the model was successfully set up,ST segment in every group all raised≥0.1 mV,the minimum value of raise was in pretreatment group.When the model was succeeded 5 min later,ST segment in model group slightly decreased but still ≥0.1 mV and it was significant in pretreatment group.In treatment and therapeutic alliance groups,compared with model succeeding'ST segment,ST segment decreased significantly at 5 min later(P

Objective To investigate the features of the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the modified ZeiM-Neelsen (MZN) positive tuberculous mengningitis (TBM).Methods We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 170 patients with tuberculous meningitis confirmed by MZN stain from December 2012 to July 2015.The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship of MZN staining and CSF cytology.Results Among 170 patients with TBM confirmed by MZN staining,128 cases had first detectable acid-fast bacillus (AFB) in earlier stage.The cytology included 15.5％ mixed cellular cytology,58.5％ lymphoid cytology,19.5％ neutrophilic cytology and 6.5％ normal cytology.Twenty-four cases had first detectable AFB within 1-2 months following disease onset.The cytology included 13.1％ mixed cellular cytology,56.6％ lymphoid cytology,21.7％ neutrophilic cytology and 8.7％ normal cytology.Eighteen cases had first detectable AFB 2 months after disease onset.The cytology included 26.7％ mixed cellular cytology,46.7％ lymphoid cytology,20.0％ neutrophilic cytology,6.6％ normal cytology.There was no significant difference in median time of first detectable AFB among those four types of cytology (P=0.812).There was significant difference in median time of first detectable AFB between patients with and without anti-TB therapy [21.5 (12.3,37.8) days vs.8.5 (6.0,16.3)days,P＜0.001].There was no significant difference in median time MZN stain turning negative between patients with and without anti-TB therapy [11 (5.75,19.25) days vs.6(4.25,10.75)days,P=0.230].Conclusions AFB can be detectable within a month after the onset of TBM in most of cases.(MZN) positive staining is not associated with the major type of cytology.Anti-TB therapy may delay the first detectable time of AFB.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy difference in treatment of myofasical pain syndrome between sparrow-pecking moxibustion and acupuncture at trigger points so as to provide the reference of the effective therapeutic method for myofascial pain syndrome.

METHODSNinety patients were randomized into a sparrow-pecking moxibustion group and an acupuncture group, 45 cases in each one. The trigger points were selected in pain areas in the two groups. In the sparrow-pecking moxibustion group, the sparrow-pecking moxibustion was applied, 30 min in each time. In the acupuncture group, the filiform needles were inserted obliquely at 45 degrees and retained for 40 min in each treatment. The treatment was given once a day and 10 treatments made one session in the two groups. The short-form McGill pain questionnaire was used as the observation index, and the changes in pain rating index (PRI), present pain intensity (PPI) and visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after treatment were used for efficacy assessment.

RESULTSThe results of PRI, PPI and VAS after treatment were reduced apparently as compared with those before treatment in the sparrow-pecking moxibustion group and the acupuncture group (all P<0.001). The differences in PRI, PPI and VAS after treatment were not significant in comparison of the two groups (both P>0.05). The curative and remarkably effective rate was 80.0% (36/45) in the sparrow-pecking moxibustion group, which was better than 40.0% (18/45, P<0.001) in the acupuncture group.

CONCLUSIONSparrow-pecking moxibustion at trigger points achieves the superior efficacy on myofascial pain syndrome as compared with acupuncture at trigger points. This therapy is simpler in operation additionally.

To achieve higher level expression of Interferon α2b (IFN-α2b) in methylotrophic yeast (Pichia pastoris), a cDNA fragment coding for the mature IFN-α2b was designed and synthesized based on the synonymous codon bias of P. pastoris and optimized G+C content. The synthetic IFN-α2b was inserted into the secreted expression vector pPICZαA, and then integrated into P. pastoris GS115 genome by electroporation. Multi-copy integrants in the Mut+ recombinant P. pastoris strain were screened by high concentrations of Zeocin. 120 hours culturing allowed expression of the IFN-α2b transformant up to 810 mg/L as detected by SDS-PAGE and quantitative methods. In addition, Western blot analysis showed that the recombinant proteins had immunogenicity. The significant antiviral activity of the recombinant IFN-α2b protein was verified by WISH/ VSV system, which was 3.3×105 IU/mL.

Objective To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) in patients after lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope (VAT) .Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 20-76 yr weighing 45-90 kg undergoing elective lobectomy via VAT were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 25 each): patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group and thoracic PVB group. PVB was performed according to the method described by Jamieson et al and Richardson et al. Paravertebral catheter was placed at T7-8 after induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation. A loading dose of 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml was administered via PVB catheter at 30 min before the end of operation. PVB was then controlled by the patients with 0.2% ropivacaine (bolus dose 8.0 ml, lockout interval 30 min). In PCIA group a loading dose of sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg was given iv at 30 mln before the end of operation. Sufentanil 1.0 μg/ml was used. PCIA included a bolus of 2 ml with a 15 min lockout interval and background infusion 2 ml/h. Numeric rating scale (NRS) (0=no pain, 10 = most severe pain) was used to assess the intensity of pain. NRS score, MAP, HR and SpO2 were recorded before operation (T0 ,baseline), 30 min after withdrawal of chest tube (Ti) and at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation (T2, T3, T4). Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume first second (FEV1.0) were measured and FVC/FEV1.0 ratio was calculated after chest tube was withdrawn. Blood cortisone and glucose concentrations were determined at To, T1 and T4. Requirement for rescue analgesics and side effects were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in MAP, HR, SpO2 and NRS at rest between the 2 groups.NRS at coughing and blood cortisone and glucose concentrations were significantly lower and the postoperative FEV1.0 was significantly higher in PVB group than in PCIA group. The requirement for rescue analgesics and side effects were comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusion Thoracic PVB can provide better postoperative analgesia with little side effects.
