The plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP) level was measured by RIA in 19 patients with polyuria and polydipsia, and the AVP measurement was compared with indirect tests. The AVP levels were very low in 13 patients with central diabetes insipidus and normal in 6 patients with primary polydipsia. The direct assay was correspondent to the indirect criteria in 89% of the patients. We concluded that the use of AVP assay improves accuracy in the differential diagnosis of polyuria, and is important in the diagnosis of these diseases.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of KAI1 mRNA and the clinicopathological parameters and prognostic outcome of patients with gastric Callcer. Methods The expressions of KAI1 mRNA in 70 samples of gastric cancer tissue and 18 samples of benign gastric lesion were detected by in situ hybridization.Results The positive rates of KAI1 mRNA expression in benign gastric lesion and gastric cancer tissue were 94%(17/18)and 31%(22/70),respectively.The expression of KAI1 mRNA was influenced by tumor difierentiation degree and the state of lymph node metastasis.The positive rate of KAI1 mRNA expression was gradually decreased as the increase of invasion depth and the tumor clinical stages.The 5-year survival rate of patients with positive expression of KAI1 mRNA WaS higher than these with negative expression of KAI1 mRNA.Conclmions The less and down-regulation of KAI1 gene expression may be involved in the occurrence and development of gastric cancer.KAI1 gene might be a valuable indicator for early diagnosis and predicting the malignancy and metastasis potential of gastric cancer and the prognosis of patients with gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol and sevoflurane on oxidative stess response induced by short period pure oxygen inhalation during general anesthesia.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-60 yr weighing 50-85 kg undergoing elective abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=30 each):group propofol (group P) and group sevoflurane (group S).Each group was further divided into 2 subgroups inhaling 40% O2 (P0.4,S0.4) and 100%O2(P1.0,S1.0) respectively during operation.Anesthesia was induced with propofol 1-2 mg/kg,midazolan 0.02 mg/kg and sufentanil 0.1-0.2 mg/kg.Tracheal intobation was facilitated with rocuronium 0.6-0.8 mg/kg.The patients were mechanically ventilated(VT 8 ml/kg,RR 12 bpm).PET CO2 was maintained at 35-40 mmHg.Anesthesia was maintained with in both groups.BIS was maintained at 40-60.Arterial blood samples were collected immediately before induction of anesthesia (baseline),at 2,4,6h after tracheal intubation(T1-3) and 24h after operation(T4) for determination of PaO2,serum 8-iso-PGF2α and MDA concentrations and SOD activity.PaO2/FiO2 was calculated.Results In subgroup S1.0 the serum 8-iso-PGF2α and MDA concentrations were significantly increased while serum SOD activity was significanfly decreased at T1-3 as compared with the baseline.Serum 8-iso-PGF2α and MDA concentrations were significantly higher while serum SOD activity and PaO2/FiO2 were significantly lower at T1-3 in subgroup S1.0 than in stress response induced by≤6h pure O2 inhalation but inhalation of 1.5%-3.0% sevoflurane can not.

Objective:To study the influence of vitamin C ( VC) on dendritic cells ( DC) ,and detect DC maturation,to provide a feasible method and thought for quickly preparating DC vaccines.Methods:Collected the peripheral blood (about 50 ml) from healthy volunteers,and isolated peripheral blood mononuclear cells with lymphocyte separation medium and obtain DC.With stimulating with different concentrations of VC for (24 h),then washed with PBS,and set up blank control group (V0).The expression of DC surface co-stimulating molecules CD80/86 and HLA-DR, CD40 was detected by flow cytometry.By setting the concentration gradient and time gradient, exciting optimal concentration and stimulating time of VC on DC, and analyzed the reasons of VC promoting DC maturation.Results:VC could effectively stimulate DC,CD80/86 expression had significantly increased contrast to the blank control group (V0).And the experiments show that VC’s best stimulating concentration was 1 mmol/L,and on the third day,the CD80/86 expression rate of VC group was (78.6±4.6) %,and blank control group V0 was (34.1±5.7) %.DC surface HLA-DR expression:VC (56.8± 4.4) %,blank control group V0 (25.4 ±4.7) %,the difference between two groups was statistically significant,P<0.05.CD40 and CD40L expression and results show that VC 2.5 mmol/L group of CD40 expression rate up to (59.3±3.7) %,while V0 group was only (11.1 ±2.4) %,that illustrate VC could significantly regulate CD40 expression on DC surface,but CD40L not reflect.Fluorescence mi-croscope results showed that DC’ s antigen catching ability was also significantly promoted.Conclusion:VC can significantly regulate DC maturity,and may up regulate CD40,thus promoting the express of CD80/86 and HLA-DR.When the concentration is 1 mmol/L,VC expresses the strongest regulation function on DC.

One hundred and fifty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ infants scheduled to undergo surgery on unilateral inguinal region,were randomly assigned to 3 groups with 50 in each group.In groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ puncture was performed at traversus abdominis plane under ultrasound-guidance,0.4 or 0.5/kg of 0.25％ ropivacaine was injected respectively.In group Ⅲ the triangle of Petit was positioned through palpating and then 0.5 ml/kg of 0.25％ ropivacaine was injected.HR,RR,SpO2,PETCO2,expired sevoflurane concentration and BIS value at the time of entering the operation room (T1),incision of skin (T2),pulling hernia sac (T3),ending the surgery (T4),waking (T5),the number of pressing the analgesia pump after operation were recorded.The results showed that HR at T2 and T3 of groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ was lower than group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05).The were significant differences in case numbers of insufficient intraoperative analgesia among 3 groups(x2 =10.500,P =0.005).The CHEOPS scores and the number of pressing analgesia pump after operation in groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ were lower than those in group Ⅲ (x2 =7.230,P =0.027).Results indicate that ultrasound-guided transversus abdominis plane block is safer and more effective than conventional method for operations of inguinal region in infants; it may reduce dose of local anesthetics and postoperative use of analgesics.

Objective To study the changes of iodine source and the nutritional status of iodine after termination of iodized salt supply in the areas with different water iodine concentrations in Shanxi province,in order to provide scientific bases for developing strategies on control and prevention of iodine deficiency disorders,and to study the cut-off value of water iodine level where iodized salt supply should be stopped.Methods In 2010 in Shanxi province,6 villages with 100％ of non-iodized salt consumption rate were selected as the survey spots based on the iodine concentration in drinking water of 0-,50-,100-,150-,300-,≥500 μg/L.Villages'iodized salt supply was terminated thoroughly.In each village,20 children aged 8 to 10 were selected.At the same time,women of childbearing age 18 to 50 years old and adult men aged 18 to 60 were selected from the same families as the children.Diet surveys were conducted by the method of 3 days recall on all subjects.Drinking water samples,staple foods,supplementary foods and urinary samples of all subjects were collected and the iodine concentration was determined by arsenic-cerium catalytic spectrophotometry.Results ①In the villages of water iodine 25.9,70.6 μg/L,the medians urinary iodine of children,women and men were all ranged from 100 to 199 μg/L,which meant their iodine nutrition levels were appropriate.In the village of water iodine 109.0 μg/L,the medians urinary iodine of children,women and men were all ranged from 200 to 299 μg/L,which meant their iodine nutrition levels were more than appropriate.In the villages of water iodine 225.8,430.0,581.2 μg/L,the medians urinary iodine of children,women and men were all ≥ 300 μg/L,which meant their iodine nutrition levels were too high.②)In all the 6 villages,the intaking amount of iodine met and exceeded the standard recommended intake of dietary iodine by ICCIDD/UNICEF/WHO (8 to 10-year-old children ≥ 120 μg/d,women of childbearing age and adult men ≥ 150 μg/d).But in the village of water iodine 581.2 μg/L,the iodine intake was exceeded the daily maximum safe intake (children aged 8 to 10 ≤800 μg/d,women of childbearing age and adult man ≤ 1000 μg/d).③The amount of iodine ingestion from drinking water was increased with the water content of iodine.When water iodine exceeded 100 μg/L,the amount of iodine ingestion from drinking water was higher than from food intaking,and became a main resource of iodine in the human body.Conclusions In the counties of iodine concentration in drinking water above 100 μg/L in high iodine areas of Shanxi province,the water iodine becomes the most important source of iodine,and iodine nutritional level is more than appropriate or possible excess.It is recommended that in areas of high water iodine of Shanxi province,the standard cut-point of water iodine value is set to 100 μg/L.
