Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmnedetomidine pretreatment on apoptosis in hippocampal neurons of rats undergoing one-lung ventilation (OLV).Methods Ninety adult male SpragueDawley rats,aged 10-11 months,weighing 260-300 g,were divided into 3 groups (n=30 each) using a random number table:two-lung ventilation (TLV) group,group OLV and dexmedetomidine pretreatment group (group D).Dexmedetomidine 25 μg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 45 min before OLV in group D.After tracheal intubation,the animals were ventilated in volume-controlled mode.OLV was performed for 90 mnin followed by 30 min of TLV in OLV and D groups.TLV was performed for 120 min in group TLV.On 1,3 and 7 days after ventilation,6 rats in each group were selected,and Morris water maze test was carried out to evaluate the cognitive function.The swimming speed,time of staying at the target quadrant,and frequency of crossing the platform quadrant were recorded.Six rats in each group were selected immediately after ventilation and sacrificed,the hippocampi were removed for detection of cell apoptosis,and the apoptosis index was calculated.Immediately after ventilation and on 1,3 and 7 days after ventilation,6 rats in each group were selected and sacrificed,and the hippocampi were removed for determination of phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (pERK1/2),phosphorylated cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (pCREB),Bcl-2 and Bax expression.The ratio of Bcl-2 expression to Bax expression (Bcl-2/Bax ratio) was calculated.Results Compared with group TLV,the time of staying at the target quadrant was significantly shortened,the frequency of crossing the platform quadrant was decreased,the apoptosis index was increased,the expression of pERK1,pERK2,pCREB and Bcl-2 was down-regulated,the expression of Bax was up-regulated,and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was decreased in group OLV (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group OLV,the time of staying at the target quadrant was significantly prolonged,the frequency of crossing the platform quadrant was increased,the apoptosis index was decreased,the expression of pERK1,pERK2,pCREB and Bcl-2 was up-regulated,the expression of Bax was down-regulated,and Bcl-2/Bax ratio was increased in group D (P＜0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine pretreatment decreases apoptosis in hippocampal neurons through activating ERK/CREB signaling pathway,thus reducing cognitive dysfunction of rats undergoing OLV.

Objective To explore the effects of penehyclidine hydrochloride (PHC) on the withdrawal syndrome and conditioned place preference(CPP) of morphine dependent rats. Methods ( 1 ) Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly assigned to 6 groups with one of 8 rats:morphine dependent group (MOR group) ,naloxone precipitated withdrawal group ( NAL group) ,PHC treatment groups ( PHC1,2,3 ) ,normal saline control group ( NS group). Subcutaneous injection of morphine in gradually increasing doses for 5 days (from 10 to 50 mg/kg ,two times daily) to establish the model of morphine physical dependent rats. The withdrawal syndrome was precipitated by naloxone (5 mg/kg,sc) and treated with PHC in various doses (0.5,1.0,1.5 mg/kg ,ip ) 30 min before haloxone-precipitated withdrawal. The body weight loss and withdrawal syndrome were observed respectively in 20 minutes. (2) 40 male SD rats were randomly assigned to 5 groups with one of 8 rats: morphine dependent group (MOR group) ,PHC treatment groups (PHC1 ,2,3 ) ,normal saline control group (NS group). The morphine conditioned place preference was induced by alternate subcutaneous injection of morphine for 7 days in rats ( 10mg/kg,once daily,8:00 AM) and saline( 16:00 PM). At d8,the rats were received the CPP test. The rats of PHC groups were treated with PHC (0.5,1.0,1.5 mg/kg , ip) prior to the CPP test, whereas the rats were treated with saline in MOR and NS group. Results (1) Theweight loss((8.53 ±l.20)g,(7.36±l.06)g,(5.40±1.79 ) g vs ( 12.63 ± 2.22 ) g, F = 83.16, P ＜ 0.01 ) and score precipitated withdrawal symptoms ( 25.36 ± 3.11,21.38±3.50,17.06±1.78 vs 31.69 ±2.76, F=256.56, P＜0.01)of morphine withdrawal rats was obviously alleviated by ip PHC in dose-related manner before naloxone-precipitated withdrawal. (2) There were significant differences in the times spent in the drug-paired side (gray area) between MOR and PHC groups( (529 ± 83 )s,(460 ± 107 ) s, (418 ± 97 ) s vs ( 643 ± 111 ) s, F = 13.22, P ＜ 0.01 ), and also in dose-related manner. Conclusion PHC could significantly inhibit the withdrawal syndrome and the expression of CPP on morphine dependent rats in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective To evaluate retrospectively the role of 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) PET/CT associated with MRI in the localization of epileptogenic foci. Methods Sixty-seven patients with medically resistant epilepsy were included from 2003 to 2008. All underwent 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI for presurgical evaluation as well as post-surgical evaluation 12 to 65 months after operation. Based on postoperative seizure occurrence, patients were divided into two groups. One group was free of seizures ( Engel classification Ⅰ, Group 1) and the other was with postoperative seizure occurrence of any type ( Engel classification Ⅱ-Ⅳ, Group 2). X2-test or Fisher's exact test was used for the statistical analysis. Results About 71.6% (48/67) patients were defined as group 1, and 19 patients were group 2 ( 11 were Engel Ⅱ , 5 were Engel Ⅲ, and 3 were Engel Ⅳ ). In Group 1, no statistically significant difference was found between concordant (45/63) and discordant findings (3/4) with regard to 18F-FDG PET/CT and MRI images (Fisher's exact test, P ＞0.05). For 41 patients that showed focal abnormality both on MRI and 18F-FDG PET/CT, 80.5% (33/41) were found in group 1. For 20 patients that showed focal lesions on MRI while with multi-focal or generalized abnormal metabolism on 18F-FDG PET/CT, 11 (55.0%) were in group 1 and9 (45.0%) were group 2. There was no significant difference (33/41 vs 11/20, X2 =4.34, P ＜0.05 ). Conclusion 18F-FDG PET/CT associated with MRI may offer more helpful information for pre-surgical evaluation and prediction of prognosis of epileptic patients.

Objective To observe the effect of polyethylene terephthalates (PET) coated with 58S bioactive glass on graft-bone healing.Methods The PET coated with 58S bioactive glass was used in experimental group,and uncoated PET was used as a control.The coating solution was made of 20％ bioactive glass powder and 80％ gelatin powder (by weight).In our vitro study,4×104/ml MT3T3-E1 cells were cultured in 24-well plates with the coated or uncoated PET,and the MTT and ALP were tested at 1,3,5 days to show the proliferation and the activity of the cells.The SEM and the X-ray photoelectron spectrometer were adopted to analyze the surface characteristics of the fiber.In our vivo study,24 skeletally mature New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into two groups,the 58S-PET group and the PET group.Both groups underwent a surgical procedure to establish a tibia-articular tendon-bone healing model.Mechanical examination and histological assay were taken to verify the coating effect in vivo.Results The 58S-PET group showed significantly differences in both the MTT and ALP tests at each time point (3,5 days) compared with the PET group.In the animal experiments,the maximum load increased by time in both groups.At 6 weeks,the load-to-failure was significantly higher in the 58S-PET group [(61.70±6.95) N]than that of the PET group [(45.21±9.78) N].At 12 weeks,the load-to-failure was also significantly higher in the 58S-PET group [(89.25±9.50) N]than that of the PET group [(71.38±6.26) N].In the histological assay,it was found that there was new bone formation in the indistinct interface between the graft and the host bone in both groups at 6,12 weeks,and a stronger binding was seen in the 58S-PET group than in the PET group.Conclusion The 58S-PET could enhance the proliferation and activity of the osteoblast and therefore promote the new bone formation and subsequently leads to a positive effect on tendon-bone healing.
