Objective To observe the relationship between degree of venous injury and the indwelling time by injection of chemotherapy drugs with intravenous catheter system. Methods Totally 43 New Zealand rabbits were selected as the study sample. Among them, three rabbits were chosen by lot as a blank control, the others were evenly divided into two groups randomly. The veins at the edges of the two ears were taken out as the tested blood vessels for the infusion with intravenous catheter system. The two groups were injected respectively with physiological saline and chemotherapy drugs once daily, and then blocked with heparin salt water. After intraperitoneal anaesthesia, pathological sections were prepared by taking live samples from the ear vein where intravenous catheter system puncturing on the 2nd, 4th, 6th,8th and 10th day of transfusion. And inflammation and thrombosis in the vein had been observed under the light microscope. Results In the same indwelling time, the inflammatory response of the two groups was compared: no difference on the 2nd day; difference was seen on the 4th、6th and 8th day; but again no difference on the 10th day. Thrombosis compared: no difference on the 2nd, 4th day, but difference was seen on the 6th, 8th and 10th day. Conclusions Chemotherapy drugs has a strong irritant on blood vessels.The indwelling time should not be too long, generally advisable 2 days,even if no abnormal response is observed locally by the naked eye.

Objective To study the appropriate neck irradiation volume for neck lymph nodenegative nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients by Meta-analysis.Methods The related references published from Jan 1990 to Jun 2013 were searched in Pubmed,Embase,Cochrane and Wangfang Databases.The qualified references for enrollment criteria were screened and the relative data were collected.The OR (Odds ratio) value by fixed effect model was used to evaluate the data for patients who received radiotherapy between the upper neck and whole neck irradiation.The endpoints including 5-year neck local control rate (LCR),neck-in-irradiation LCR,and neck-outsides-irradiation LCR.Results Five qualified references were screened and belonged to respective research.There enrolled 1 333 patients,including 970 patients who received the upper neck irradiation and 363 patients who received the whole neck irradiation,respectively.The forest plots revealed that there were no significant differences for 5-year neck LCR,neckin-irradiation LCR,and neck-outsides-irradiation LCR for patients received radiotherapy between the upper neck and whole neck irradiation.These OR values were 0.89 (95％ CI:0.41-1.94),1.29 (95％ CI:0.58-2.88) and 0.42 (95％ CI:0.07-2.36),respectively.Conclusions The Meta-analysis results suggest that irradiation to the upper neck for neck lymph node-negative nasopharyngeal carcinoma can be appropriate.

AIM: In order to study the relationship between the ERK and p38 MAPK activation and the protection of 11, 12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (11, 12-EET) and ischemia preconditioning (IP), the effects of 11, 12-EET and ischemic preconditioning on phosphorylated ERK and p38 MAPK during ischemia and reperfusion in rat myocardium were examined. METHODS: The rat heart was subjected to ischemia for 5 min by ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery followed by reperfusion for 5 min (two times) to undergo ischemia preconditioning. The rats were divided into 5 groups: (1) control; (2) sham group; (3) ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) group, in which the rat heart suffered from 60 min ischemia followed by 30 min reperfusion; (4) IP plus I/R group; (5) EET plus I/R group, in which 6.28?10 -8 mol/L 11, 12-EET was injected intravenously 20 min before I/R. The heart function was examined, and phosphorylated ERK and p38 MAPK were detected by Western blot. RESULTS: At 30 min reperfusion, +dp/dt max ,-dp/dt max and LVDP decreased significantly in I/R group compared with sham group, IP plus I/R group and EET plus I/R group; Phosphorylated ERK1/2 level was higher in I/R group than sham group, but was lower in I/R group than IP plus I/R group and EET plus I/R group; Phosphorylated p38 MAPK level was lower in control, sham, IP plus I/R and EET plus I/R group than I/R group. CONCLUSION: 11,12-EET protects rat heart against ischemia/reperfusion injury, the mechanism may be related to activation of ERK1/2 and inhibition of p38 MAPK. [
