Objective To study the protective effects and mechanisms of adenosine on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbit. Methods The rabbit ltng model of ischemia-reperfusion was constructed.Thirty Chinese rabbits were random divided into three groups: Group A (no surgery), group B (ischemiareperfusion) and group C (Adenosine + ischemia-reperfusion). The MDA content,SOD content of the plasma, wet-dryrate (W/D) and the pathology of lung tissue and the index of quantitative assessment of histologic lung injury (IQA) were measured after 60 min reperfusion. Results After 60min reperfusion, the value of W/D, MDA and IQA in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (q = 7. 06,13.71,18. 62, P ＜0.01), while the concentration of SOD were lower than those in group A (q = 14. 33, P ＜0.01). In contrast with group B, W/D,MDA and IQA in group C was obviously lower (q =5.23 ,8. 51, 9.99,however, the concentration of SOD were higher than those in group B (q = 7.73, P ＜ 0. 01). In contrast with group A and C ,the expression of CD11b/CD 18 of group B was significantly increased after 60min reperfusion (q =8.59,9.56, P ＜0. 01). Conclusion Adenosine can prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury in rabbit lung in vivo by inhibiting the expression of CD-11b/CD18 on PMNs and dropping oxygen free radicals level.

Alcohol is widely abused in contemporary social life, which has become a serious medical and social problem because it hurts human health and endangers public safety. Recent re-search has developed several active substances that can effective-ly improve or treat this syndrome via affecting the mesolimbic do-pamine nervous pathway to dampen rewarding effectiveness in-duced by ethanol. This paper reviews the progress in near-term studies of alcoholism-intervening agents, aiming at providing ref-erences for related mechanism exploration and drug development.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of carvedilol on blood pressure in hypertension patients and vascular endothelial function. METHODS: 100 inpatients with primary hypertension were collected from our hospital from Jan. 2008 to Jan. 2010 and randomly divided into treatment group and control group(n=50). Treatment group were given initial oral dose of carvedilol tablets 6.25 mg twice a day for 7～14 days if it was tolerated; the dose of carvedilol tablets increased to 12.5 mg or 25 mg twice a day according to blood pressure at trough concentration if it was necessary. Control group were given carvedilol tablets 6.25 mg twice a day if it was tolerated. After 1 week, control group received double dose of metoprolol with maximum dose of carvedilol of 50 mg. The treatment course was 3 months. The contents of NO and ET in serum of 2 groups were detected. Antihypertensive effect and effects of carvedilol on vascular endothelial dilatation and systolic function were observed and compared between 2 groups. RESULTS: After treatment, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure in both groups were decreased significantly(P

Objective To discuss the value of video-assisted thoracoscopy plus minithoracotomy (VATM) in the management of thoracic diseases. Methods An 1.5 cm incision was made along the middle axillary line at the 7th costal interspace on the diseased side to introduce the thoracoscope. After the exploration of intrathoracic lesion, another incision 5~8 cm in length close to the lesion was made. The thoracic cavity was opened by way of the costal interspace. Surgical performance of exploration, dissection, hemostasis and suture was performed under thoracoscope and direct vision by using routine surgical instruments and thoracoscopic instruments. A total of 43 cases of VATM were carried out. Results The operation time was 40~150 min (mean, 67 min). The length of incision was 5~8 cm (mean, 6 cm). The chest drainage lasted 2~5 d. No postoperative complications occurred. The postoperative hospital stay was 5~8 d (mean, 6 d). Follow-up found no recurrence for 3~22 months in 18 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax and pleural effusion, and found no recurrence, distant metastasis or incision implantation for 5~20 months in 3 cases of lung cancer receiving either lobectomy or wedge resection. Simple biopsy of tumor was conducted in 6 cases of lung cancer, who obtained chemotherapy or gamma knife radiotherapy postoperatively and survived 5~21 months. Conclusions VATM is practical, minimally invasive and safe. By using routine surgical instruments it has an optimistic outlook.

BACKGROUND: Nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) is possibly related to regulation of various cell signals that are derived from aqueous uveoscleral outflow pathway.OBJECTIVE: To explore effect of travoprost on the expression of NF-κB and inhibitor-κB (I-κB) in human ciliary muscle cells cultured in vitro. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A contrast study, which was performed in the Laboratory of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Center from March 2005 to November 2006.MATERIALS: Eyeballs were obtained from the youth who died due to other diseases except eye disease no more than one hour. The relatives voluntarily provided the informed consent.METHODS: Travoprost (1 μmol/L) was added in human ciliary muscle cell culture medium, and then the samples were divided into four groups according to culture time, including 0-hour (control group), 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour experimental groups. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Expression of mRNA and protein of NF-κB p65 and I-κBα in the four groups by using real-time RT-PCR, immunofluorescence relative quantitative analysis and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques. RESULTS: As compared to control group, mRNA expression of NF-κB p65 in the 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour experimental groups was decreased (F=17.068, P=0.001); while mRNA expression of I-κBα was not changed remarkably in the 6-hour and 12-hour experimental groups (P > 0.05), but the expression was significantly higher than that in the 24-hour experimental group (F=32.742, P=0.000). Immunofluorescence relative quantitative analysis showed that the fluorescence intensity of NF-κB p65 in the 6-hour, 12-hour, and 24-hour experimental groups were weaker than that in the 0-hour control group (F=17.216, P=0.000); additionally, as compared to 0-hour control group, fluorescence intensity of I-κBα in the 6-hour experimental group was not changed remarkably (P=0.134), that in the 12-hour experimental group was weakened (P=0.032), and that in the 24-hour experimental group was strengthened (F=17.346, P=0.001). ELISA revealed that expression of phosphorylated NF-κB p65 was decreased gradually by the time of being induced by travoprost (F=15.4, P=0.001). CONCLUSION: Travoprost can down-regulate mRNA expression of NF-κB p65, inhibit nuclear translocation, and up-regulate mRNA expression of I-κBα in human ciliary muscle cells.

Objective To evaluate the effects of different concentrations and different duration of sevoflurane anesthesia on cognitive function in mice.Methods Fifty adult male C57BL/6 mice,weighing 20-24 g,aged 10 weeks,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),1.3％ sevoflurane inhaled for0.5 h group (group S1),1.3％ sevoflurane inhaled for 2.0 h group (group S2),2.5％ sevoflurane inhaled for 2.0 h group (group S3),and 2.5％ sevoflurane inhaled for 4.0 h group (group S4).At 2 weeks after anesthesia,Morris water maze test was performed,and the escape latency and frequency of crossing the original platform were recorded.After the end of the test,the mice were sacrificed,and brains were removed to detect the expression of 2B subunit-containing N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NR2B) and activated caspase-3 in the hippocampus.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly shortened,and the frequency of crossing the original platform was increased in S1-3 groups,and the escape latency was prolonged,and no significant change was found in the frequency of crossing the original platform in group S4.Compared with group C,the expression of NR2B in hippocampal tissues was up-regulated in S1-4 groups,and the expression of activated caspase-3 in hippocampal tissues was up-regulated in S3 and S4 groups.Conclusion The reason for different effects of sevoflurane anesthesia on cognitive function is related to the concentration and duration in mice.
