Objective To observe the preventive efficacy and safety of dexmedetomidine with parecoxib sodium on the patients with postoperative hyperalgesia induced by remifentanil. Methods A total of 100 female patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were as-signed into four groups according to the table of random number:the control group (group C),the parecoxib sodium group (group P),the dexmedetomidine group (group D)and the parecoxib sodium combined with the dexmedetomidine group (group DP).The vital signs were monitored and the total intravenous anesthesia was performed.All the patients were give intravenous injection of 0.2μg·kg-1 ·min-1 remifentanil and 4-12 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 propofol to maintain the anesthesia.Patients in group P were given 40 mg parecoxib sodium 30 minutes before the end of the operation.Patients in group D were give intravenous injection of 0.6μg·kg-1 ·min-1 dexmedetomidine consistently till 30 min before the end of the operation.Patients in group DP were given 0.6 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 till 30 min before the end of the operation and were given 40 mg parecoxib sodium.The VAS scores were re-corded at 1,2,6,12,24 hours.The cases of agitation,rigors,nausea and vomiting and increasing of analgesics were recorded.Results The postoperative VAS scores in group P,group D and group DP were significantly lower than group C(P <0.05).The postoperative VAS scores in group DP were significantly lower in group P and group D (P<0.05).Cases of agitation and rigors in group D and group DP were less than group C(P <0.05).The increasing of analgesics in group DP was much higher than other groups(P<0.05).Conclusion After induced,patients were given intravenous in-jection of 0.6 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 dexmedetoniding consistently till 30 min before the end of the opera-tion were given 40 mg parecoxib sodium can effectively prevent hyperalgesia after remifentanil anes-thesia without significant increase in revival time and obtain a better sedation.

Objective To assess the diagnostic value of CT spectral imaging using quantitative iodine-based material decomposition images in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism. Methods Fifty-three patients underwent CT angiography with spectral imaging mode on a GE Discovery CT750HD scanner. Iodine distribution in the lung parenchyma using the iodine-based material decomposition images was quantitatively measured by post-processing. Monochromatic CT angiographic images were reconstructed from the same data sets and thee images were reviewed for the identification and localization of pulmonary embolism as well as the degree ( partial or complete) of the embolic occlusion. The number and location of perfusion defects were recorded. The iodine content of perfusion defects and normal lung parenchyma on the iodine maps were measured by one reader using an ROI analysis. Comparative analyses were obtained using the Chi-square test for categorical data. Two independent samples rank test and 2 related samples signed-rank test were used to compare iodine densities between different groups. Results CT angiography showed no pulmonary embolism in 33 patients, and iodine distribution was homogeneous. A total of 93 clots with lobar ( n = 26), segmental (n = 54) and sub-segmental (n=13) distribution were detected in 19 patients; Fifty-one clots were occlusive and 42 clots were non-occlusive. The iodine-based material decomposition images of all occlusive clots showed lobar, segmental or sub-segmental iodine distribution defects; whereas eleven of 42 non-occlusive clots had evidence of iodine distribution defects. There was significant difference ( x2 = 39. 94,P<0. 01 ) in the perfusion defects between occlusive and non-occlusive clots. There was a significant difference in iodine content between normal lung parenchyma [ (1.92 ±0. 54) g/L] and perfusion defects [ (0. 30 ± 0. 20)g/L] (Z= -5.63, P < 0. 01 ). There was a significant difference in the iodine content of peffusion defects before [ (0. 26 ± 0. 23 )g/L] and after anticoagulation [ (0. 94 ± 0. 50 )g/L ] ( Z = -3.93,P < 0. 01 ). Conclusion With the ability of iodine mapping, CT spectral imaging is areliable method in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism both qualitatively and quantitatively, and may be a useful tool in providing information regarding the severity of PE and monitoring therapeutic efficacy.

Objective To assess the clinical and radiologic outcomes between laminoplasty with forominotomy(LF) and anterior cervical discectomy and fusion(ACDF) in treating cervical radiculomyelopathy(CRM). Methods Datas of 68 patients (ACDF=33, LF=35) from January 2008 to January 2010 was collected retrospectively, the follow-up is at least 2 years. The Japa-nese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and associated recovery rate were evaluated. For radiographic evaluation, the lordotic an-gle and range of motion (ROM) at C2-C7 were investigated. The Neck Disabilitv Index Scale(NDI) was used to evaluate the degree of patient’pain at the last follow-up. Results Patients’demographics were similar between the two groups. The differences be-tween ACDF and LF in operative time (187min VS 154min),the blood loss (127 ml VS 235 ml) and the sensation of lower extremity (64.0%VS 66.0%) are significant(t=4.170, P=0.000;Z=-6.888, P=0.000;Z=-7.512, P=0.000). 1 case with failed fusion of bone graft 3 months post-operation. 3 cases of adjacent segment degenerative changes occurred at the 2nd year follow-up in ACDF group. But no such complications occurred in the EOLF group. In addition, ACDF group showed lower NDI score than LF group in extracting and amusing (Z=-3.947, P=0.000;t=-7. 523, P=0.000). Cervical lordosis of ACDF increased from 13.7° to 16.2°, while that of LF group decreased from 14.6° to 13.3°(Z=-3.374,P=0.001);Both of the two groups (ACDF/LF) exhibited decreased cervi-cal ROM (14.8° VS 16.5°, t=-2.167, P=0.034). Conclusion The two surgical procedures have similar clinical effects in treating multi-segmental CRM. However, the LF group demonstrated shorter operative time, fewer short-term complications, so it proved to be effective and safe surgical procedure.

BACKGROUND: Many data demonstrate that the components of soybean can lower blood lipid,suppress the growth of cancer cells and exert weak estrogenic activities. However,little is known about the effect of isolated soybean protein on the lifespan of the organism.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of isolated soybean protein on the lifespan of drosophila melanogasters and investigate the mechanism of effective anti-aging and anti-oxidation action.DESIGN: A controlled trial based on drosophila melanogasters.SETTING: Department of nutrition and food hygiene in a university.MATERIALS: The experiment was conducted in the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene,Public Health College of Xinjiang Medical University from March to June 2002. A total of 400 drosophila melanogasters of American wild type with half for each gender were provided by the Department of Nutrition and Food Hygiene, Public Health College of Xinjiang Medical University.METHODS: The 400 drosophila melanogasters were divided into control group(normal culture) and three-dosage experiment groups(normal culture contained isolated soybean protein 0.2%,1.0% and 5.0%,respectively).From the second day on, the number of living and dead drosophila melanogasters was observed and counted until all died. Meanwhile, mean lifespan,half death time and maximal lifespan were calculated.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURFS: Mean lifespan, half death time and maximal lifespan of the drosophila melanogasters.RESULTS: Compared with that of control group, the lifespan of male and female drosophila melanogasters in experiment groups was prolonged by isolated soybean protein and responded in a dose-dependent manner,especially in high-dosage group. The mean lifespan, half death time and maximal lifespan of both female and male drosophila melanogasters were prolonged by 24.5% and20.7%,27.1% and22.0%,and 13.9% and 10.6%,respectively.CONCLUSION: Isolated soybean protein may have anti-aging and lifespan-prolonging effects on drosophila melanogasters.
