Objective To discuss nursing care of patients underwent corneal Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty to treat bullous keratopathy. Methods 22 patients who underwent corneal Descemet stripping endothelial keratoplasty to treat bullous keratopathy accepted strengthened psychological care, perfect preoperatively preparation, to sleep in face-up supine position, meanwhile complications were observed and treated carefully. Results 22 patients could persist in sleeping in face-up position for 4days postoperatively. Graft shift occurred in two cases. And after gas reinjection the grafts adhered very well. Intraocular pressure rose in 7 cases .After timely treated these 7 patients were cured and discharged. Conclusions Careful preoperative evaluation and preparation could reduce postoperative complication. Strict measures to keep patients sleeping in face-up supine position, timely observation and treatment of complications should be important to ensure the success of the operation.

Objective To observe the histological change of different waves in treating SD rats of the long-pulse 1064nm Nd:YAG laser and the 560～1200 nm intense pulse light,in order to provide the theory bases of non-ablative rejuvenation.Methods Two waves were used on experimental mice.The dermic thickness and the expression of collagen typesⅠand Ⅲwere detected by HE stain and immunohistochemical methods. Semiquantitative analysis was used to determine the mean of absorbance.Results Thedermal thicknesses and the mean of absorbance of collagen typesⅠandⅢin two different waves were higher than those in common control groups(P＜0.05).The effect of Nd:YAG laser groups were higher than IPL groups(P＜0.05).The expression of collagen typeⅠwas higher than that of collagen type Ⅲ(P＜0.001).Conclusion After Nd:YAG laser or IPL irradiation,the dermal thickness and collagen typesⅠandⅢof SD rats are increased.The effects of Nd:YAG laser are better than those of 560～1 200 nm IPL.The expression of collagen type Ⅲ is obviously more than that of collagen typeⅠin the early,whereas the expression of collagen typeⅠis obviously more than that of collagen type Ⅲin the later.It proves that the mechanism of dermal remodeling of non-ablative skin rejuvenation is mainly correlation with raising range and time of collagen typeⅠ.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine on stress responses of the hypertensive patients undergoing thoracic surgery and find the uptimal infusion rate of dexmedetomidine in decreasing stress responses.Methods Sixty hypertensive patients of both sexes,aged 45-64 yr,weighing 65-80 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were divided into 4 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and 3 different doses of dexmedetomidine groups (D1-3 groups).In D1,D2 and D3 groups,dexmedetomidine 0.2,0.3 and 0.4 μg · kg 1 · h 1 were intravenously infused until 30 min before the end of surgery,respectively,starting from 15 min before induction of anesthesia.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group C.Before administration of dexmedetomidine (T0),at 1 min after endotracheal intubation (T1),at skin incision (T2) and immediately after extubation (T3),venous blood samples were collected for determination of epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations in plasma (using high-performance liquid chronatography) and blood glucose concentrations.The development of adverse effects such as bradycardia,hypotension and respiratory depression was recorded.Results Compared with group C,epinephrine and norepinephrine concentrations in plasma and blood glucose concentrations were significantly decreased at T1-3 in D1,D2 and D3 groups,the incidence of bradycardia and hypotension was significantly increased in group D3 (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the incidence of bradycardia or hypotension in D1 and D2 groups (P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in epinephrine and norepinephrine and concentrations in plasma and blood glucose concentrations at each time point between group D1,group D2 and group D3 (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The optimal infusion rates of dexmedetoinidine are 0.2 and 0.3μg · kg-1 · h-1 in decreasing stress responses of the hypertensive patients undergoing thoracic surgery.

Background:The pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome(IBS)is not fully known,social psychological factor is the important factor of IBS,especially the relationship with anxiety and depression. Aims:To investigate psychological stress factor,anxiety and depression in IBS patients among soldiers in northeast area. Methods:A total of 11 400 soldiers in northeast area were enrolled by multistage,stratified,cluster random sampling method asking to fulfill a questionnaire on IBS. Zung self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)and Zung self-rating depression scale(SDS)were assessed,and the relationship with anxiety,depression and stress was analyzed. Results:The incidence of IBS was 15. 9% . Prevalences of anxiety and depression in IBS group were significantly higher than those in non-IBS group(22. 9% vs. 9. 6% ,26. 6% vs. 12. 4% ,P< 0. 05). Score of SAS and SDS in IBS group were significantly higher than those in non-IBS group(50. 86 ± 7. 27 vs. 36. 54 ± 6. 97,53. 47 ± 7. 86 vs. 38. 25 ± 9. 83,P < 0. 05). Positive correlation was found between score of SAS and SDS and stress factors such as feeling lonely,depression,intensive training,working pressure,poor relationship with colleagues,solving emergency event or participating in military exercises in IBS group(P < 0. 05). Conclusions:IBS in soldiers is related with stress and psychological factors.

BACKGROUNDTo evaluate the efficacy and toxicity of gemcitabine and carboplatin (GC) versus paclitaxel and carboplatin (TC) in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

METHODSA total of 64 patients with advanced NSCLC diagnosed by pathology were randomly divided into two groups. Gemcitabine and carboplatin were administrated to the patients in GC group (n=30), and paclitaxel and carboplatin in the TC group (n=34), 28 days as a cycle. All patients received at least two cycles.

RESULTSThe overall response rate was 53.3% in the GC group and 58.8% in the TC group (P > 0.05). The main toxicities were well tolerated and consisted of leukopenia, nausea, vomiting and peripheral neuritis, which occurred more frequently in the TC group than in the GC group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSBoth of the two regimens of gemcitabine plus carboplatin and paclitaxel plus carboplatin are feasible, well tolerated and effective in the treatment of NSCLC, and the former may be safer than the latter.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new type of titanium alloy Ti-25Nb-10Ta-1Zr-0.2Fe by studying the induced proliferation of L929 cells in contrast with other titania widely used in clinical practice. METHODS: The cell line was treated with extracting liquid containing different concentrations of titanium alloys. The number and morphology of cells was observed under an inverted phase contrast microscope. MTT was used to measure the relative growth rate (RGR) and judge the cytotoxicity grade. Flow cytometry was used to observe cell cycle progression. RESULTS: The RGR of TNTZ group cells at the 3 time points was (93.7±0.8), (100.6±0.4), and (106.4±0.3); the cytotoxicity grade was 1, 0 and 0 after treating for 1, 3 and 5 days; with influence on neither the cell morphology nor the cell cycle. The flow cytometry showed that the sequence of S phase cells was Ti>TNTZ>TC4>blank control >TC4ELI, with no significant difference (P>0.05). None of the 4 materials inhibited the cell proliferation. CONCLUSION The cell morphology and proliferation are not affected by TNTZ. The new titaniu alloys shows good cyto-compatibility. The cytotoxicity is grade 0, meeting the clinical application standard.

Intravenous membrane oxygenator (IVOX), an artificial lung usually located in vena caval system, can provide extra oxygen outside the lung for patients suffering from respiratory failure. However, gas exchange areas of IVOX are limited because of confined space in caval system. The increase of the diameter of IVOX may impede the return of venous blood to heart, and result in serious low blood pressure. Thus, it is important to increase the efficiency of IVOX by reducing the diffusive resistance of boundary layers. In the present study, the hollow member fiber of IVOX was weaved in braids; we tested the oxygen transfer efficiency and blood flow resistance of this IVOX in vitro. The results showed that the total transferred oxygen, the oxygen transfer rate and blood resistance increased with the increase of blood flow. The oxygen volume transferred by the IVOX and the oxygen transfer rate were (55.97 +/- 0.51) ml/min and (127.19 +/- 0.66) ml/(min x m)2 respectively at the blood flow of 5 L/min and hemoglobin of 120 g/L. They were significantly higher than those at 4 L/min and 3.5 L/min, respectively. The pressure drop also increased from (11.87 +/- 1.57) cmH2O at 3.5 L/min of blood flow to (18.53 +/- 0.99) cmH2O at 4 L/min and 19.77+/- 0.51 cmH2O at 5 L/min. However, they are safe to the patients (< 20 cmH2O). These results suggest that this braid type of IVOX can safely provide 20%-30% oxygen outside the lung for an adult patient.
