Objective To evaluate the effects of Lactobacillus helveticus fermented milk on blood pressure and heart rate was evaluated in 8w old spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHR).Method Spontaneously hypertensive male rats were randomized into 5 groups(n=8) receiving fermented milk and its whey,water,skim milk and yogurt.Every sample was used to SHR on consecutive three days,during which they received increasing doses by ig.The systolic blood pressure and heart rate were measured by ZH-HX-Z tail cuff with a programmed electro-sphygmomanometer.Results At 1.5 ml dose of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk and the 2 ml dose of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk whey,we observed the marked and long-lasting hypertensive effect for 4 and 6 h,respectively.The maximum decrease in mean arterial blood pressure(20.5 mmHg) was achieved.Feeding 1 ml whey of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk elicited significant decrease in heart rate(maximum of 50 bpm).Conclusion Significant reductions in mean systolic blood pressure,and heart rate were observed following intra-gastric administration of Lactobacillus helveticus TUST005 fermented milk.

Objective The mechanism of delaying flap with the minimal invasive surgery was approached to understand its effects on the whole delayed survival of skin flaps thoroughly so as to provide the rationale for its clinical use.Methods 80 male or female Wistar rats were randomly subdivided into two groups:delayed by the minimal invasive surgery,and immediately transfer without delay.Flaps in each group delayed were cut at 1,2,3 and 4 weeks,respectively.The flap was designed at the lower back of rat,with the size of 5 cm × 1 cm,crossing the middle area for 2.5 cm and including stem of iliac branch from iliolumbar artery.2 weeks after second operation,the survival area,capillary density and content of lactic acid of the flaps in each group were examined,and the survival of the falps delayed by the minimal invasive surgery was compared.Results The longer delaying time,and the higher survival rate were observed in the experimental group.Delaying for 3 weeks and 4 weeks,the survival rate was (86.13 ±1.13) ％,(93.49 ± 1.15) ％,respectively,in the experimental group.While in control group,the survival rate was no more than 63％.The longer delaying time,the higher the capillary density were noted in two groups,but 3 weeks delayed group equally matched to the 4 weeks delayed group.In the experimental group,the content of lactic acid increased peaked in 1 week delayed group,then fell-down gradually,but kept steady in 3 and 4 weeks delayed group.The content of lactic acid in the control group kept steady.Conclusions The experimental model is selected as cross-area axial flap on the lower back of rats.The minimal invasive surgery plays the same role as in delaying flaps,which causes vasoconstriction,resulting in disorder of internal environment,ischemia and hypoxia,finally vasodilatation.The more ramus anastomosis,the more survival rate of the flap.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of minimally invasive methods for non-anastomotic biliary stricture (NABS) after orthotopic liver transplantation.Methods The clinical data of 403 patients who underwent liver transplantation during recent 10 years in Liver Transplantation Center at General Hospital of Guangzhou Military Commanmol were analyzed retrospectively,and 13 patients with NABS were selected.The outcomes of 3 types of NABS patients treated by endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography(ERCP) or percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage(PTCD) were compared and the indication for re-transplantation was identified.Results PTCD treatments of 4 patients were proved ineffective.The shortterm curative rate of minimally invasive treatments was 8/13.Five patients eventually required surgical treatments (re-transplantation in 4,Roux-en-Y anastomosis in 1).According to cholangiography results,NABS were divided into 3 types,namely hepatic bile duct strictures (n =4,type Ⅰ),multiple extra-hepatic and intrahepatic biliary strictures (n =7,type Ⅱ),intrahepatic biliary strictures (n =2,type Ⅲ).The success rates of minimally invasive treatment in 3 types of NABS were 3/4,4/7 and 1/2,respectively.Nearly half of type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients needed re-transplantation,which was more likely for those patients with hepatic artery stenosis (2/3).Conclusion NABS treated with minimally invasive methods are preferred.Based on the appearance of biliary stricture,type Ⅰ patients had the best prognosis.For those type Ⅱ and type Ⅲ patients who failed minimally invasive treatment,especially combined with hepatic arterial stenosis,surgical treatment should be timely,so as not to lose a chance for re-transplantation.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of invasive pituitary adenoma.Methods The clinical presentations,imaging studies and surgical outcomes in 62 patients with invasive pituitary adenomas and 78 patients with noninvasive pituitary adenomas were analyzed retrospectively.Results Invasive pituitary adenomas were more common in patients with macroadenomas than those with microadenomas(P

Objective To explore the microsurgical technique in managing medial sphenoid ridge meningioma.Methods The clinical data of 23 cases of medial sphenoidal ridge meningioma were analyzed retrospectively.The main points of microsurgical treatment of medial sphenoid ridge meningioma were discussed.Results Of 23 cases of medial sphenoid ridge meningiomas,total removal was made in 15 cases,subtotal removal in 6 cases and partial removal in 2 cases.The microsurgical outcomes were satisfactory in all the patients and no patients died.Conclusion The microsurgery via the pterional approach to the medial sphenoid ridge meningiomas can greatly heighten total resection rate of the tumors.Total resection of the tumor depends on its position,character and degree of edema of surrounding tissues.Palliative operations combined with postoperative radiotherapy should be carried out for treating the tumors that can only be subtotally and partially removed.

Objective To study the related factors and how they influence the formation of collateral circulation in patients with severe coronary arteries stenosis. Methods A total of 111 consecutive patients were catagorized into 3 groups according to their grading of collateral connections which were: CC0 (n=27), CC1 (n=45) and CC2 (n=39) respectively. Serum lipid levels were measured including total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and low density lipoprotein. All patients received UCG examination within one week after admission. Results (1)Serum lipid levels: the total cholestoral level in the CC2 group (4.23?0.71 mmol/) was lower than those of the CC0 group (4.81?0.88 mmol/L, P0.05) and the CC2 group (1.40?0.24 mmol/L, P

Percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) was done successfully in 33 patients,6 of them were associated with 8 acute coronary events. Radioimmunoassay was used for the determination of plasmaET,AII and CGRP levels. The samples were drawn successively from femoral artery just before PTCA and 0min, 15min,1h,3h,24h after the final balloon inflation. The results showed that the levels of plasma AII were higher in the complication group than those of noncomplication group before PTCA and 0min, 24h after PTCA. The differences in plasma ET levels before and after PTCA between the complication group and the non-complication group were not significant. The level of plasma CGRP was decreased at 15min and returned to basal level at 1h after PTCA in the complication group.In the patients without complication,there were no significant differences in their plasma CGRP levels before and after PTCA. All + ET/CGRP in the complication group raised more rapidly,recovered later and the peak appeared earlier than that of non-complication group. For a better understanding pathophysiologic meaning of the above changes,further studies are needed.

Objective To explore the effect on ultrasound localization method with radial artery cannulation in infants.Methods Sixty infants (1 month-1year old)undergoing elective surgical proce-dures required artery pressure,were randomly divided into two groups:ultrasound localization group (group B):the infants were used of portable B ultrasound probe in the wrist with two dimensional ul-trasound image to determine the body position of the radial artery;control group (group C):tradi-tional palpation determine the radial artery puncture position.One puncture success rate,total punc-ture success rate,the period of puncture time and incidence of complications were recorded;MAP, the radial artery diameter,the vertical distance from the ultrasound probe to the skin and the length from the puncture spot to the radial artery were also measured.Results The success rate of first puncture in group B was higher than that of group C (P <0.05),the times of puncture and procedure time were significantly less than those of group C (P <0.05),the incidence of hematoma was lower than that in group C (P <0.05).Conclusion The application of ultrasound-guided method for radial artery cannulation is safe and reliable with accurate localization,highly successful rate of puncture at first time,lower complication and shorter time for placement.
