Objective To investigate the effects of paravertebral injection of different concentrations of adriamycin on motor conduction function in rats. Methods Eighty healthy male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 gwere randomly divided into 4 groups (n = 20 each): 3 adriamycin groups receiving paravertebral injection of 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% adriamycin 10 μl respectively (group A1, A2, A3) and control group (group C)receiving equal volume of normal saline (NS) instead of adriamycin. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 40 mg/kg. A right paramedian incision was made in the back from L3 to S1.L4,5,5,6 intervertebral foramina were exposed. 0.3%, 0.5% and 1.0% adriamycin and NS 10 pl were injected into the intervertebral foramina in group A1, A2, A3 and C respectively. Spinal motor evoked pontential (SMEP)was measured at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks (T1-4)after paravertebral injection. Results The latent period of SMEP was significantly prolonged and the amplitude decreased at T1-4 in group A3 as compared with group A1, A2 and C.Conclusion Paravertebral injection of 1.0% adriamycin can significantly depress motor conduction function.

Objective To study the effect of hypothermia on cerebral mitochondrial respiratory function and ultrastructure after traumatic brain injury(TBI). Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to moderate brain injury by using lateral fluid-percussion(LFP)and randomly divided into sham operation group,normothermic TBI group(rectal temperature for 36-37℃)and hypothermic TBI group(rectal temperature for 31-32℃ lasting for two hours).The ipsilateral brains were dissected and homogenized brain tissues were extracted to obtain mitochondfia by density-centrifugation and speed-centrifugation at 2,24 hours and at days 3 and 7 after TBI.The mitochondrial uhrastructure was studied by electron microscope.The indices of respiratory control rate(RCR)and P/O ratio of mitochondrial respiratory function were measured after oxygen consumption was determined with a Clark-type electrode.Results The mitochondrial uhrastructure of normothermic TBI group was damaged severely while that of hypothermic TBI group kept relatively integrated.The RCR and P/O ratio were markedly decreased two hours after TBI and reached the lowest level at the 24th hour(P<0.01).At day 7,RCR kept at a lower level compared with sham operation group but P/O ratio recovered to normal.Change of RCR was similar in hypothermie TBI group and normothermic TBI group.However,RCR of the hypothermic TBI group was significantly higher than that of the normothermic TBI group within three days after TBI.In the meantime,P/O ratio recovered to normal three days after TBI. Conclusion Hypothermia can improve cerebral mitochondrial respiratory function and protect the mitochondrial structure after TBI.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effects of PDCA cycle management on perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics in typeⅠincision surgery of orthopedics department. METHODS:In retrospective analysis,512 discharge medical records, 861 ones and 1 070 ones were selected from our hospital before PDCA cycle management(Jan.-Dec. 2013,before intervention group), after first cycle of PDCA cycle management (Jan.-Dec. 2014,first intervention group) and after second cycle of PDCA cycle management(Jan.-Dec. 2015,second intervention group),respectively. The perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics was analyzed comparatively before and after continuous intervention. RESULTS:After 2 cycles of PDCA cycle management intervention, the constituent ratio of internal fixation in orthopedics department increased significantly;utilization ratio of antibiotics,the rate of rational type,medication ratio 0.5-1 h before surgery,the rate of rational treatment course,the proportion of antibiotics use in accordance with indications increased from 50.20%,98.08%,93.77%,6.61%,82.10% to 58.41%,100%,99.04%,52.00%, 99.04%,respectively. The number of antibiotics type decreased from 4 to 2;the proportion of cephazolin increased significantly while that of clindamycin decreased significantly compared to before intervention. Postoperative prophylactic medication course decreased from(4.63 ± 2.42)d to(1.61 ± 0.75)d;the proportion of patients with medication course <24 h or ranged 24-48 h increased significantly, while those with medication course>72 h decreased significantly, with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:PDCA cycle management improves the rational rate of perioperative prophylactic application of antibiotics in typeⅠincision surgery of orthopedics department in our hospital. The prophylactic medication course of our hospital is not yet fully controlled within 24 h so it should be further intervened.

The non-neuronal cholinergic system, widely exists in prokaryotic, eukarytic, and even plant cells, however, it has not been investigated in preadipocytes and adipocytes. To search for evidence its existence in preadipocytes and adipocytes, the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α7 subunit, acetyicholinesterase (ACHE) and choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) in 3T3-L1 cells were examined using immunohistochemical staining and Western blotting. The choline-regulated visfatin expression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes was also tested by reverse transcriptase-PCR. Incubation with methyilycaconitine (10-6 to 10-4mol/L) for 12, 24 and 36 hours dose-dependently increased visfatin expression from 1.3- to 1.55-folds (P <0.01) with maximal induction at 24 hours with 10-4mol/L methyllycaconitine. Nicotine treatments (10-6 to 10-4 mol/L) for 12, 24 and 36 hours decreased visfatin expression; choline chloride (10-4 mol/L))suppressed visfatin expression in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes at 36 hours by 1.64 to 2.03 fold (P < 0.05) which was more effective as compared with nicotine. It was concluded that α7 nAChR was expressed in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes and involved in visfatin expression.
