Objective To investigated the efficacy of celecoxib for postoperative analgesia after endoscopic nasal surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 18-64 yr were randomly assigned to one of three groups ( n = 40 each): control group ( group C); celecoxib 200 group ( group CEL1 ) and celecoxib 400 group ( group CEL2 ). The patients took celecoxib 200 and 400 mg by mouth at 1 h before induction of anesthesia in group CEL1 and CEL2 respectively. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,propofol, remifentanil and rocuronium and maintained with iv propofol and remifentanil infusion. VAS was used to assess postoperative pain (0 = no pain, 10 = worst pain). In PACU when VAS score ≥3, the patients were given fentany125 μg iv every 5-10 min until the VAS score ＜ 3. After being discharged from PACU, the patients received celecoxib 200 mg every 12 h for 5 days in the 2 celecoxib groups. Oxycodone 5 mg was used as rescue analgesic when VAS score ≥ 4 until the VAS score ＜ 4. The number of patients who needed fentanyl for analgesia in PACU, the number of patients who needed oxycodone within 6 h, 6-24 h and day 2-5 after operation and side effects after operation were recorded. Analgesic efficacy was assessed at day 5 after operation and the satisfactory rate of patients calculated. Blood samples were obtained at 0, 6 and 48 h after operation for determination of PGE2,6-k-PGF1α and TXB2 concentrations. TXB2/6-k-PGF1α was calculated. Results The number of patients who needed fentanyl in PACU and the number of patients who needed oxycodone within 6 h and 6-24 h after operation were less, the satisfactory rate was significantly higher, and PGE2 concentrations in blood were significantly lower at 48 h after operation in the 2 celecoxib groups than in group C ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). There was no significant difference in each index between the 2 celecoxib groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ). There was no significant difference in TXB2/6-k-PGF1α at each time point among the three groups. Nausea and vomiting occurred in one patient after operation in group C, but side effects were not observed in the 2 celecoxib groups. Conclusion Celecoxib given before and after operation can effectively relieve postoperative pain after endoscopic nasal operation by reducing PGE2 concentrations in blood.

Objective To observe the expression of resistin mRNA and protein in adipose tissues of obese rats,and to explore the correlations between resistin and obesity,insulin resistance.Methods Thirty SD rats were divided into control group(n=15) and high-fat diet group(n=15).The rats in control group recieved common forage.The obese and insulin resistance models were induced with high-fat diet in SD rats.The plasma insulin level was determined by double antibody radioinimunity analysis,and automatic biochemistry analyzer in plement was used to detect the plasma free fatty acid.After 11 weeks,glucose tolerance test was carried out to determine blood glucose levels at intervals(0,30,60,90,120 min).Resistin mRNA from fat pads tissue was extracted by RT-PCR,and then its protein was detected by Western blot.The data were analyzed statistically by SPSS 11.5 software.Results After 11 weeks,the rats′ weight in high-fat diet group increased obviously than that of control group,as well as fasting blood glucose,free fat acid homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMAIR) and the glucose tolerance in high-fat diet group reduced greatly.The resistin mRNA and protein in white adipose tissues were significantly higher in the obese mice than those of control group(Pa

BACKGROUND: The integrity of the dura mater is very important for prognosis of patients with brain injury prognosis. Artificial dura mater is a commonly repair material, and to look for an ideal artificial dura mater is the exploration direction in the neurosurgery field. OBJECTIVE: To observe and analyze the clinical data of brain injury patients undergoing repair of colagen sponge as dura mater substitute material with ozone therapy, and to explore and evaluate its clinical value. METHODS: Folow-up results of therapeutic efficacy and complications in 60 cases of brain injury folowing repair with colagen sponge artificial dura mater and ozone treatment were retrospectively analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Two patients died of postoperative diffuse brain sweling, one died of brain injury with multiple organ failures, and two cases of extensive brain injury accompanied by cerebral herniation were in vegetative state. The rest 55 patients were enroled in the final analysis. After surgery, two patients appeared to have postoperative subcutaneous fluid and their conditions improved folowing puncture aspiration and pressure dressing with elastic bandage; another patient showed a smal amount of subdural effusion, but did not undergo special treatment, and dynamic head CT showed the effusion was gradualy reduced. Cranial CT examination showed no abnormalities associated with the artificial dura mater. At 3-6 months after surgery, the artificial dura mater was fused wel with the normal dura mater in 28 cases undergoing skul patching, and there was no adhesion and inflammatory reaction. Taken together, the colagen sponge artificial dura mater with ozone can give ful play to the decompression treatment of traumatic brain injury, which can maintain the brain function, shorter operative time, result in fewer complications, and have good compatibility, and moreover, the artificial dura mater can be fused wel with the normal dura to protect the brain cortex, thereby providing favorable conditions for the latter skul repair.

Glycyrrhizin acid and licorice flavonoids are the component of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch root that has been used for various medicinal purposes in traditional oriental medicine for thousands of years. Macrophages as a principal component of immune system play an important role in the initiation, modulation and final activation of immune response against pathogens. In the present study, glycyrrhizin acid and licorice flavonoids was investigated the anti-inflammatory effect on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophage cell line of RAW264.7. Well-grown RAW264.7 cells were collected and randomly divided into the blank control group, the LPS(1 mg x L(-1)) group, the dexamethasone (5 mg x L(-1)) with LPS group, the glycyrrhizin acid (400, 80, 16 mg x L(-1)) with LPS group and the licorice flavonoids (200, 40, 8 mg x L(-1)) with LPS group. RAW264.7 cells were cultured in 24-well plates, pre-incubated for 4 h with different concentrations of dexamethasone, glycyrrhizin acid, or licorice flavonoids. Then cells were stimulated for 20 h with LPS. The supernatant of culture medium was collected from each well and determinated the concentrations of cytokines by means of BioPlex mouse cytokines assay. Compared with the control group, the LPS group could significantly induced relatively high levels of granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF), granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor( GM-CSF), macrophage inflammatory protein-1 alpha (MIP-1α), macrophage inflammatory protein-1 beta (MIP-1β), regulated upon activation normal T cell expressed and secreted factor (RANTES), tumor necrosis factor alpha ( TNF-α), monocyte chemotactic protein 1 (MCP-1), chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1 (KC), eotaxin, interleukin(IL)-1α, IL-1β, IL-3, IL-4, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), IL-13, and IL-17 secretion (P < 0.05). The glycyrrhizin acid significantly inhibited IL-1β, IL-3, IL-5, IL-6, IL-10, IL-12 (p40), IL-12 (p70), IL-13, Eotaxin and TNF-α secreted by LPS-stimulated RAW264.7 cells (P < 0.05). The expression levels of IL-6 and Eotaxin were observably decreased in the licorice flavonoids with LPS group (P < 0.05). The data presented here suggested that the glycyrrhizin acid and licorice flavonoids modulate various cytokines secreted by macrophages and were important anti-inflammatory constituent of Licorice.
