Objective To observe the effect of propofol target-controlled infusion on stress response during nasoscopic procedures.Methods Totally 40 patients with ASA gradesⅠ-Ⅱ scheduled for the nasoscopic operation ware randomly divided into two groups:Group A(propofol continuously injection,2.5 mg?kg-1,n=20)and Group B(propofol target-controlled infusion,4 ?g?ml-1,n=20).The operations were all performed under general anesthesia.Venous blood samples were taken to measure cortisol and blood glucose at three time points:before operation,at 30 min after the operation started,and 60 min after the endotracheal catheter was withdrawn.Meanwhile,HR and MAP of the patients were recorded.Results At both 30 min after the operation started and and 60 min after the endotracheal catheter was withdrawn,Group A showed significantly higher MAP and serum levels of glucose and cortisol than Group B.At 30 min after the operation started:HR:(73?8)/min vs(65?13)/min,t=2.344,P=0.024;MAP:(74?7)mm Hg vs(68?7)mm Hg,t=2.711,P=0.010;blood glucose:(6.28?0.11)mmol/ml vs(5.31?0.15)mmol/ml,t=23.321,P=0.000;cortisol:(125.3?11.5)ng/ml vs(89.6?9.9)ng/ml,t=10.521,P=0.000.At 60 min after the endotracheal catheter was withdrawn:MAP:(79?6)mm Hg vs(73?8)mm Hg,t=2.683,P=0.011;blood glucose:(6.18?0.09)mmol/ml vs(5.62?0.16)mmol/ml,t=10.082,P=0.000;cortisol:(169.1?16.3)ng/ml vs(149.5?15.3)ng/ml,t=3.921,P=0.000.Conclusion Propofol target-controlled infusion can inhibit the stress response caused by nasoscopic operation.

Objective To discuss the difference of levels of serum and urinary iodine and thyroid function in painless thyroiditis patients and other thyroiditis patients.Methods The patients who were preliminary diagnosed as having higher level of serum thyroid hormone were divided into Graves' disease group,subacute thyroiditis group and painless thyroiditis group.Then all the patients were divided into another two groups according to the level of autoantibody.The value of serumal thyroid hormone and serumal iodine and urinary iodine were measured and the relationship between the groups and the value were observed.Results There was close relationship between serum T 3,T 4,urinary iodine and the types of thyrotoxicosis.Conclusion The morbidity of painless thyroiditis is not uncommon.Clinical situation,serumal iodine,urinary iodine and serumal thyroid hormone may be useful for clinical diagnosis and differential diagnosis of painless thyroiditis.

ObjectiveStudy the efficacy of physiotherapy (PT) in the rehabilitation of the patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome. Method15 patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome were divided into 2 groups,exercise group(8 cases) and control group(7 cases),a retrospective study is made.ResultAs compared with control group, there is a significant improvent in muscle strenth and ADL in exercise group (P<0.01).ConclusionPT can effectively diminish the degree of disability of the patients with Guillain-Barre syndrome, shorten rehabilitation time ,and restore independence of self-care.

OBJECTIVE To observe the clinical effect of Tanreqing injection on acute respiratory tract infections(ARTI) in children.METHODS Totally 218 children cases with ARTI were randomly divided into Tanreqing group and control group.The fever,cough,sputum volume,and the extent of expectoration of the two groups were observed.RESULTS The incidence of clinical effect in treating group was 88.0% which was more than that of control group 71.5%(P

BACKGROUND: Learning and memory disorder exist in diabetic rats,which can be improved by APP 17-mer peptide. However, it is unclear whether learning and memory disorder in diabetes mellitus is caused by influencing neuronal mitochondrial transmembrane potentials and apoptosis in hippocampus or not and what is the related action mechanism of APP17-mer peptide.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of APP17-mer peptide on neuronal mitochondrial transmembrane potentials (△ψm) and apoptosis in hippocampal area of diabetic rats.DESIGN: A completely randomized, grouping and controlled trial.SETTING: Beijing Research Laboratory for Brain Aging, Beijing Xuanwu Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences; the Department of Endocrine, the First Central Hospital of Baoding.MATERIALS: The data measurement of the experiment was carried out in the Instrument Testing Center, the General Hospital of Chinese PLA between May 2002 and August 2002. The modeling and intervention of the experiment was carried out in the Animal Laboratory of Xuanwu Hospital, Capital University of Medical Sciences. Eighteen male Wistar rats were enrolled and randomized into control group, model group and APP17-mer peptide group with 6 rats in each group.METHODS: ① Diabetic models in the model and APP17-mer peptide groups were established by intraperitoneal injection of 60 mg/kg streptozotocin (pH=4.4) in fasted rats(fasting for 12 hours). Three days later, modeling was successful if blood sugar level in caudal vein was more than 15 mmol/L. Rats in the control group were not subjected to modeling.Then, the rats in the APP17-mer peptide group were subjected to the subcutaneous injection of APP17-mer peptide (3.4 μg for each rat once) three times a week and totally for ten weeks, whereas rats in the other groups were given saline of the same volume. ② After ten weeks, rats were anesthetized and decapitated to take out brain tissues, and then hippocampal tissues were isolated in ice bath for preparation of single cell suspension.JC-1 labeled mitochondrial transmembrane potentials and cell apoptosis in hippocampal area were measured by means of flow cytometry. ③ One-way analysis of variance was adopted in the comparison among groups.RESULTS: Eighteen rats were involved in the results analysis. ①Neuronal mitochondrial transmembrane potential was lower in the model group as compared with the control group [(551.91±53.36) vs (809.88±82.41) △ψm,P＜0.01] while it was higher in the APP17-mer peptide group as compared with the model group [(705.99±89.92) vs (551.91±53.36) △ψm, P ＜ 0.05].There was no difference between the APP17-mer peptide group and control group (P=0.146). ②) Apoptotic percentage of single cell in hippocampus was significantly higher in the model group than in the control and APP17-mer peptide groups [(5.32±1.37)%, (1.03±0.55)%, (2.80±0.92)%, P＜0.01, 0.05].CONCLUSION: Neuronal mitochondrial transmembrane potential and cell apoptosis in hippocampus may be involved in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus, and APP17-mer peptide plays an improved role in the process.

Objective: To study the relationship between plasma level of N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and ventricular diastolic dysfunction in elder hypertensive patients without target organ damage.
Methods: A total of 66 relevant patients treated in our hospital from 2012-03 to 2014-03 were studied. According to the standard of ventricular diastolic dysfunction, the patients were divided into 2 groups: Study group, n=27 patients with diastolic dysfunction and Control group, n=39 patients without diastolic dysfunction. The patients in Study group were further divided into 3 sub-groups based on Doppler classification of diastolic dysfunction:Grade 1, the patients with E/A<1.0, DT≥240 ms, IVRT>90 ms, n=8. Grade 2, the patients with E/A>1.5, DT (150-220) ms, IVRT<90 ms, n=13. Grade 3-4, the patients with E/A>1.5, DT≤150 ms, IVRT<70 ms, n=6. Plasma levels of NT-proBNP and Doppler ultrasound findings were compared to study the relationship between
NT-proBNP and ventricular diastolic dysfunction.
Results: Plasma level of NT-proBNP was higher in Study group than that in Control group. NT-proBNP level in Grade 3-4 sub-group was obviously higher than those in Grade 1 and Grade 2 sub-groups, NT-proBNP level in Grade 2 sub-group was higher than that in Grade 1 sub-group. Pearson correlation analysis indicated that NT-proBNP level was positively related to systolic blood pressure, diastolic function and E/E’ (r=0.211, P=0.037, r=0.442, P=0.004 and r=0.556, P=0.000), while negatively related to E’/A’ (r=-0.372, P=0.000).
Conclusion: The increased plasma level of NT-proBNP are highly support for ventricular diastolic dysfunction in elder hypertensive patients without target organ damage, NT-proBNP level is related to ventricular diastolic function.

AIM:To study the KIF21A gene mutation in a Han family with concomitant exotropia. ·METHODS: The genomic DNA of five family members was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes and amplified with PCR. The PCR products were purified for DNA sequencing. DNA sequences were aligned with the human KIF21A gene sequences registered in GenBank. · RESULTS: Mutation analysis of all exons of the pedigree's KIF21A gene reveals no gene mutation in any of the families. ·CONCLUSION: Our study demonstrates that the KIF21A gene maybe is not virulence gene in this pedigree.
