Objective To investigate the sedative effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine with mid-azolam in spinal anesthesia. Methods 130 cases of spinal anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups,group D1 and group D2,with 65 cases in each group. Patients in 2 groups were given midazolam and dexmedetomidine with different doses. The heart rates ,blood pressure ,SpO2 ,Narcotrend value and Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at mutiple time points. The working time ,maintaining time of sedative effect ,and adverse reactions were compared between 2 groups. Results MAP,HR and NT decreased significantly in 2 groups(P < 0.05,respec-tively). The keeping time was relatively longer in group D1 compared with group D2(P<0.05). The working time was faster in group D2 compared with group D1. The rate of bradycardia in group D2 was relatively higher than that in group D1. Conclusion Good sedative effect can be obtained by drug in 2 groups. Group D1,with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg+dexmedetomidine 0.3μg/kg,may have a certain advantage in anaesthesia in the spinal canal.

Objective:To detect the expression and clinical significance of β-tubulin Ⅲ in cancer tissue of the patients with colon adenocarcinoma,and to explore its clinical significance.Methods:A total of 111 colon adenocarcinoma tissue samples were obtained.According to the location of β-tubulin Ⅲ positive cells, all patients were divided into front group (n=72) and non-front group (n=39).The positive expression rate of β-tubulin Ⅲ in the patients with colon adenocarcinoma was detected with immunohistochemistry.The correlations among the expression of β-tubulin Ⅲ and gender,age,tumor differentiation, clinical stage, lymph node metastasis, recurrence and death were analyzed.Results: The expression levels of β-tubulin Ⅲ had no significant differences between the patients with different gerder,age,lymph node metastasis,clinical stages,death and recurrence.The positive expression rates of β-tubulin in cancer tissue of the patients had significant difference between front and non-front groups (χ2=8.76, P=0.01).Lowly-to-moderately differentiated tissue was more common in front group, and highly-differentiated tissue was more common in non-front group(χ2=6.88, P=0.03).There were significant differences in the expression levels of β-tubulin Ⅲ between cancer tissues with different differentiation degrees (χ2=5.74, P=0.04).In non-front group, lymph node metastasis was closely correlated with the expression of β-tubulin Ⅲ (χ2=6.02,P=0.05).The results of immunohistochemical staining showed that the β-tubulin Ⅲ positive-expressing cells were colored brown-yellow.The number of cells with positive β-tubulin Ⅲ expression was significantly increased in highly differentiated tissue compared with low-differentiated tissue.Conclusion:The expression of β-tubulin Ⅲ is closely related to tumor differentiation in colon adenocarcinoma tissue.The highly differentiated colon adenocarcinoma tissue is more common in non-front group in which the expression of β-tubulin Ⅲ is related to lymph node metastasis.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of modified arytenoid adduction in the management of patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis(UVFP).Methods A retrospective review was performed on 22 patients who underwent modified arytenoid adduction for UVFP between February 2001 and December 2007.Pre-,and 3 months postoperative aspiration,perceptual(GRBAS),acoustic data(fundamental frequency,F_0,fundamental frequency perturbation,jitter,amplitude perturbation,shimmer,normalized noise energy,NNE)and aerodynamic(maximal phonatory time,MPT,mean airflow rate,MFR)were analyzed statistically.Results The ratings of postoperative aspiration were significantly decreased than that of the preoperation(P<0.0001).There was a significant decrease in GRBAS scales postoperatively versus preoperatively(P<0.0001).The mean values of voice acoustics parameters (F_0,jitter,shimmer,NNE)were significantly decreased,the maximum phonation time were significantly longer,and the mean airflow rate were significantly decreased after operation than that of the preoperation(P<0.001).Conclusion Modified arytenoid adduction is an effective medialization technique that can restore satisfactory speech and prevent aspiration in patients with UVFP.

In our previous studies, DAZAP2 gene expression was down-regulated in untreated patients of multiple myeloma (MM). For better studying the structure and function of DAZAP2, a full-length cDNA was isolated from mononuclear cells of a normal human bone marrow, sequenced and deposited to Genbank (AY430097). This sequence has an identical ORF (open reading frame) as the NM_014764 from human testis and the D31767 from human cell line KG-1. Phylogenetic analysis and structure prediction reveal that DAZAP2 homologues are highly conserved throughout evolution and share a polyproline region and several potential SH2/SH3 binding sites. DAZAP2 occurs as a single-copy gene with a four-exon organization. We further noticed that the functional DAZAP2 gene is located on Chromosome 12 and its pseudogene gene is on Chromosome 2 with electronic location of human chromosome in Genbank, though no genetic abnormalities of MM have been reported on Chromosome 12. The ORF of human DAZAP2 encodes a 17-kDa protein, which is highly similar to mouse Prtb. The DAZAP2 protein is mainly localized in cytoplasm with a discrete pattern of punctuated distribution. DAZAP2 may associate with carcinogenesis of MM and participate in yet-to-be identified signaling pathways to regulate proliferation and differentiation of plasma cells.

Objective:To explore the necessity of the preventive use of antibiotics and the effects of age and operation time on the efficacy of inguinal hernia repair without tension,and to elucidate the clinical significance of the preventive application of prophylactic antibiotics in inguinal hernia repair without tension.Methods:A total of 228 patients with inguinal hernia repair without tension were selected,amomg them 42 cases with high infection factors were treated with antibiotics (treated group),and 186 cases were not treated with antibiotics(untreated group) during the preoperative period.The prophylactic antibiotics were given 30 min before surgery,and the conventional dose was not used more than 48 h after surgery.All the cases were treated with artificial repair materials for the procedure of inguinal hernial repair without tension.The age,highest body temperature,white blood cell count,operation time,hospitalization time,and postoperative body temperature of all the 228 cases were recorded and analyzed statistically.Results:The preoperative and postoperative white blood cell counts had significant differences between the patients<60 years and the patients≥60 years in untreated group (P<0.05);there were no significant differences in the operation time,hospitalization time and body temperature between the patients<60 years and the patients≥60 years in untreated group (P>0.05).Compared with the patients with the operation time>90 min,the white blood cell count and hospitalization time of the patients with the operation time ≤90 min were increased (P<0.05).There were no significant differences of the body temperature and age between the patients with the operation time >90 min and the patients with the operation time≤90 min (P>0.05).The white blood cell count,operation time,hospitalization time and postoperative body temperature of the patients between treated group and untreated group had no significant differences (P>0.05).Conclusion:The use of antibiotics in the high-risk patients and non-use of antibiotics in the majority of elective inguinal hernia repair without tension can ensure the safe and performability of the patients.

Objective: To discuss the significance of neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery in the treatment of local advanced esophageal cancer. Methods:A total of 272 cases of local advanced esophageal cancer were studied in retrospect. Out of the 272 cases, 112 were treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy followed by surgery (CT-S), whereas the remaining 160 cases underwent surgical treatment (S) only. Complications and survival state after surgery were compared. Results: The rate of complications after surgery was as follows: CT-S: 34.8% (39/112); S: 29.4% (47/160), P=0.50. The five-year survival rate was 35.7% and 29.4%, respectively, P<0.05. The CT-S patients were divided into partial remission (PR) and stable disease (SD)/progressive disease (PD) groups according to the effect of the chemotherapy. The five-year survival rate was 38.5% and 30.1%, respectively, P<0.01. Conclusion: Neoadjuvant chemotherapy is available for local advanced esophageal cancer. Postoperative complications are not increased by chemotherapy, and the survival rate for local advanced esophageal cancer is improved by neoadjuvant chemotherapy. PR has better prognosis compared with SD/PD.

Objective To investigate the clinical effect of a new type of disposable heparin freedialysis tube in uremic patients without heparin dialysis. Methods A total of 110 patients withoutheparin dialysis were divided into control group and observation group by random digits table method with55 cases each. Based on the same pre dialysis and dialysis for heparin saline flushing of discontinuoussaline on the control group using the traditional dialysis pipe for hemodialysis without heparin, theobservation group used disposable non heparin dialysis pipe for hemodialysis without heparin.
