Objective To evaluate the effects of low tidal-volume ventilation on blood gases and respiratory mechanics during open heart surgery in children with acyanotic congenital heart disease. Methods Forty NYHA class Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients with atrial or ventricular septal defect aged 3-6 yrs weighing 12-18 kg undergoing open heart surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the tidal volume of mechanical ventilation: group A low tidal volume(V_r=7ml?kg~(-1),n=20) and group B conventional tidal volume(V_T=9 ml?kg~(-1), n=20). The respiratory rate(RR) was 21-23 bpm, I: E ratio 1:2 and FiO_2 100% in both groups. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular morphine 0.1 mg?kg~(-1) and scopolamine 0.01 mg?kg~(-1). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.1 mg?kg~(-1), fentanyl 10 ?g?kg~(-1) and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg~(-1) and maintained with infusion of fentanyl 4 ?g?kg~(-1)?h~(-1) and vecuronium 80 ?g?kg?h~(-1) supplemented with isoflurane inhalation(

Objective: To study the influence of micrometastasis in lymph node on the prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma(OSCC).Methods: In 36 patients micrometastasis in pathologically negative lymph nodes were tested by immunohistochemical cytokeratin(CK) examination and the relationship between CK+ and survival time of the patients was analyzed. Results: The survival time(month) of CK+ and CK- patients was 36.76?6.91 and 47.47?11.35 respectively(P=0.002).Multivariate analysis of Logistic regression model showed that micrometastasis in lymph node (P=0.044)and histologic grade (P=0.040) were regarded as independently prognostic factors while clinical stage (P=0.236)did not. Conclusion: The detection of micrometastasis in the lymph nodes may serve as a supplement to the present staging system of OSCC. The prognosis of patients with micrometastasis is poorer than those without micrometastasis.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of dabigatran etexilate on coagulation indexes and safety of elderly patients with persistent atrial fibrillation. METHODS:52 elderly patients with persistent atrial fibrillation were randomly divided into obser-vation group and control group by random number table,26 cases in each group. Creatinine clearance rate in observation group was higher than 30 ml/min,110 mg Dabigatran etexilate capsule was orally given,bid;when 15-30 ml/min,55 mg capsule was orally given,bid. Control group orally received Warfarin sodium tablet with initial dose of 2.5 mg,qd,according to international normal-ized ratio (INR) after 3-5 days till maintained in 2.0-3.0. After 3 months,coagulation indexes [prothrombin time (PT),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT),thrombin time (TT),INR,platelet count (PLT),fibrinogen (FIB)] before and after treat-ment,incidences of clinical events (cerebral embolism,cerebral hemorrhage,fatal bleeding,the remaining parts of embolism, death)and adverse reactions in 2 groups were compared. RESULTS:There was no significant difference in PT,APTT,TT,PLT and FIB between 2 groups before treatment(P>0.05);after treatment,PT and INR in 2 groups significantly increased,and obser-vation group was obviously better than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). No cerebral hemorrhage or fatal hemorrhage occurred in the two groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of cerebral embolism between 2 groups (P>0.05);the incidence of remaining parts of embolism,death in observation group significantly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in observation group was significant-ly lower than control group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Dabigatran etexilate shows good coagulation effect on elderly patients with persistent atrial fibrillation,which can effectively improve PT and INR levels and reduce the incidences of clinical events,with good safety.

Objective To evaluate the agreement between colposcopic diagnosis with 2011 colposcopic terminology of the International Federation for Cervical Pathology and Colposcopy (IFCPC) and cervical pathology in cervical lesions. Methods A retrospective cohort study was performed, which included 376 patients who underwent colposcopy with 2011 international terminology of colposcopy at Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University from September 2014 to November 2014. With conization or cervical biopsy pathology as the gold standard, the agreement between colposcopic diagnosis and pathologic diagnosis was calculated and correlations between variables were analyzed. Results With 2011 international terminology of colposcopy, agreement of colposcopic diagnosis and cervical pathology was 60.9%(229/376)perfectly matched, and the strength of agreement with weighted Kappa statistic was 0.401 (P<0.01), and agreement within one grade was 97.6%(367/376), which were improved compared with traditional methods. Colposcopic diagnosis were 19.9%(75/376) overestimated and 19.1%(72/376) underestimated. There were no significant difference between agreements in various grade lesions (χ2=1.996, P=0.573). Positive predictive value of high grade colposcopy or more was 84.4%, the negative predictive value of low grade colposcopy or less was 88.8%, whereas false positives were 3.5%and false negatives were 39.3%. A linear trend among three types of transformation zone and patient ages was found (χ2=45.910, P<0.01), whereas lesion sizes were not linearly correlated with lesion degrees (χ2=0.690, P=0.406). In grade 1, grade 2 and nonspecific findings, thin acetowhite epithelium, dense acetowhite epithelium and Lugol′s non-staining were most frequent, the Youden indexes of each were 0.170, 0.373 and 0.145, 0.069 respectively. Positive predictive value of some other findings (such as fine mosaic) and two new signs (inner border sign and ridge sign) were 100.0%. There were no significant difference between agreements in examiners with different levels of experience (χ2=1.197,P=0.550). Conclusions Compared to traditional methods (such as Reid index), 2011 international terminology of colposcopy could improve the agreement between colposcopic diagnosis and pathologic diagnosis, without significant differences by the severity of lesion and the level of examiners′experience. Common findings were classified reasonably, and some signs were highly reliable, which is important for guiding biopsy. However, the reproducibility of transformation zone types and the implication of lesion size need to be further discussed.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of polyomavirus type BK infection in renal transplant recipients.Method We systematically screened for active BKV infection preoperation and at 0.5,1,3,6,9,12 and 15 months after transplantation in 116 renal transplant recipients.The screening tests included urine cytology (by the Papanicolaou method) and BKV DNA PCR (the kit for testing the BK virus) assay of both urine and plasma,and the results were recorded.Renal biopsy was performed if the graft function was deteriorated gradually or the loads of BKV replication were very high.Routine histopathological examination and immunohistochemistry were performed on renal tissues from partial patients who received the tests of renal biopsy.Result Throughout the follow-up of 15 months,urinary decoy cells (median 8/10 HPF,[1～ 48/10 HPF]),BKV viruria (median 2.63 × 105 copies/mL,[1.78 × 103 ～ 8.54 × 109 copies/mL]),BKV viremia (median 2.70 × 104 copies/mL,[1.95 × 103 ～6.31 × 106 copies/mL]),and BKVAN (4 patients) occurred in 53.46％,24.17％,20.72％ and 3.45％ of renal-transplant recipients,respectively.The positive rate of the decoy cell and BKV DNA in urine reached the peak at the third month to the ninth month after transplantation,and the peak time of the BK viremia was the fifth month post-transplantation throughout the follow-up period.The change in BKV DNA level remained constant in blood and urine throughout the follow-up period.Conclusion The peak time of BKV infection was apparently three to nine months after transplantation,suggesting the importance of monitoring urine cytology and BKV DNA loads in post-transplantation patients closely during this period in order to reduce BKVAN after transplantation.

OBJECTIVETo construct and analyze the differential expression profiles of microRNAs (miRNA) and mRNA in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). To explore the miRNA and mRNA of OSCC development and progression.

METHODSThe differential expression profiles of miRNA and mRNA were built by high-throughput deep sequencing technology. Using Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, the roles of differentially expressed miRNA and mRNA in cell cycle, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell apoptosis were analyzed.

RESULTSSeventy-seven differentially expressed miRNA and 1 298 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified in OSCC. GO analysis showed that 73 miRNA had found target mRNA in cell cycle, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell apoptosis of OSCC. Moreover, a miRNA could regulate multiple mRNA.

CONCLUSIONThe differential expression profiles of miRNA and mRNA have close relationship with the development and progression of OSCC.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of dopamine producing cells (DPCs) derived from human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) in treatment in model rats with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Methods The cultured hUC-MSCs were induced into DPCs in vitro. The dopamine (DA) and glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) expression levels were detected by ELISA to identify the DPCs. The PD rat model was established by injecting 6-OHDA into the right substantia nigra (SN). A total of 60 successfulled PD model rats were randomized into hUC-MSCs-DPCs group (5 × 105 hUC-MSCs-DPCs were transplanted into right striatum, n=20), hUC-MSCs group (5 × 105 hUC-MSCs were transplanted, n=20) and control group (same volume PBS, n=20). All the transplanted cells were labeled with CM-Dil. The apomorphine induced rotation behavior was assessed at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after cell transplantation. The rats were executed after 12 weeks. The immunofluorescence staining was used to detect the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression level, and FLUORO-JADE? C staining was used to test the apoptotic neurons in brain of rats. Results The hUC-MSCs-DPCs were induced successfully in vitro, which showed a high expression level of DA and GDNF. Furthermore, at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after cell transplantation, the rotation behavior was improved, and expression levels of GDNF were significantly higher in hUC-MSCs-DPCs group than those of hUC-MSCs group and control group (P<0.05). In addition, we found that most of the transplanted TH+hUC-MSCs-DPCs at the right striatum and a few cells around both the left and the right substantia nigra at 12 weeks after transplantation. The apoptotic neurons were decreased after cell transplantation in hUC-MSCs-DPCs group than that of control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The hUC-MSCs-DPCs can improve the rotational behavior induced by apomorphine in PD model rats, which may be involved in improving levels of DA and GDNF in damaged striatum and protecting neurons.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of induced membrane technique for reconstruction of large tibia bone defects in adults.Methods From February 2010 to February 2014,28 cases with tibia bone defect (16 cases caused by traumatic,9 cases caused by chronic osteomyrlitis,and 3 cases caused by tumor resrction)were treated in our deparment.There were 21 males and 7 females,with a mean age of 36.7 years old.The mean bone loss after final debridement and tumor resrction was (6.2 ±2.6)cm,and the maximum length of bone loss was 16 cm in this series.All the patients were treated by induced membrane technique,and the healing rate,occurrence of complications and limb function were recorded.The bone union was assessed by Paley scores.Results The average duration of follow-up ranged from 12 to 37 months,averagely (23.4 ±4.7)months.The healing rate was 85.7% at a mean time of 5.2 months.According to the Paley scores,there were 20 cases of excellent,6 cases of good,2 cases of moderate.There were 2 patients with pin site infection,2 patients with deep infection re-quiring operative debridement,1 patient with superficial iliac incision infection,1 patient with nonunions of one ends of the bone gap,and 1 patient suffered the implant failure due to fullweight-bearing early.Conclusion The induced membrane technique is a valid option for the management of large tibia bone defects in adults caused by traumatic,tumor resection and removal of chronic osteomyelitis lesions,which sig-nificantly shorten treatment cycle,provide satisfactory results with minimal complications,and promote good recovery of limb function.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the protective effect of collagen peptides from walleye pollock skin(CPWPS)in the hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)-induced oxidative stress damage model of the human keratinocyte cell line (HaCaT). METHODS HaCaT cells were pretreated with CPWPS 50,100 and 200 mg · L-1 for 12 h. Then H2O2 was added to the final concentration of 300μmol · L-1. After 12 h,the activity of catalase(CAT),glutathion peroxidase(GSH-Px),total superoxide dismutase(T-SOD)and total antioxidant capacity (T- AOC) were detected by enzymes and biochemical method. The expression of aquaporin3 (AQP3) in HaCaT cells was measured by Western blotting. RESULTS Compared with control group,CPWPS group did not exhibit significant cytotoxicity at a concentration up to 300 mg·L-1. The viability of cells treated with H2O2 300μmol·L-1 for 12 h decreased to 54.0%(P<0.01). The viability of cells pretreated with CPWPS 50,100 and 200 mg · L-1 for 12 h increased to 69.4%,79.4%and 89.1%(P<0.05,P<0.01),respectively. Compared with the model group,the activity of CAT,GSH-Px,T-SOD and T-AOC in HaCaT cells pretreated with CPWPS 50,100 and 200 mg·L-1 for 12 h increased. Compared with model group,the activity of CAT,GSH-Px,T-SOD and T-AOC of CPWPS 200 mg · L-1 pretreatment group increased by 56.90%,48.68%,48.24% and 71.43%(P<0.01),respectively. Western blotting revealed that the expression of AQP3 in H2O2 model group was in?creased relative to that in control group,while the expression of AQP3 in CPWPS pretreatment groups was decreased. The expression of AQP3 in CPWPS 200 mg · L-1 pretreatment group decreased to 67.1%(P<0.01) compared to the H2O2 model group. CONCLUSION CPWPS can protect HaCaT cells against H2O2- induced oxidative stress damage. The cytoprotective effects are associated with enhanced antioxidant capacity and decreased expression of AQP3.

Objective To investigate the factors related with swallowing function after stroke. Methods Stroke patients with dysphagia were reviewed, 296 cases with pseudobulbar paralysis, and 82 cases with bulbar paralysis. Swallowing function was evaluated with videoflu-oroscopic swallowing study (VFSS). The variable of age, sex, Body Mass Index (BMI), scores of National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), Simplified Fug-Meyer Assessment (FMA) and modified Barthel Index (MBI), intubation, aspiration, length of hospitalization (LOH), and initiation of rehabilitation intervention were analyzed with Logistic regression. Results Age, NIHSS score, intubation, aspira-tion, initiation of rehabilitation intervention were the risk factors for poor outcome of swallowing function in all the patients, while the score of MBI was the protective factor for the pseudobulbar paralysis ones. Conclusion The younger the patients, the less the NIHSS score, no in-tubation, no aspiration, and the earlier the rehabilitation intervened, the more independent the pseudobulbar paralysis patients, the better swallowing function recovered.
