Objective To explore the best plan of perioperative individualized fluid therapy in the elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery.Methods Eighty elderly patients with coronary heart disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery were divided into experimental group and control group by random digits table method with 40 cases each.Conventional capcity treatment was given during surgery and postoperative period in control group.Individualized fluid therapy was used during surgery and postoperative period in intensive care unit of 24 h in experimental group,which was determined based on target controlled fluid therapy according to the cardiac index,stroke volume,and stroke volume variation.Traditional fluid therapy was used in control group in the intraoperative and postoperative period.The two groups were compared in terms of postoperative hemodynamic parameters,total fluid volume,incidence of adverse cardiac events,and recovery of gastrointestinal function.Results The mean arterial pressure at the beginning of the operation,the cardiac index at operation begining 1 h and at the end of operation were (80.4 ± 6.4) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa),(4.0 ± 0.6) L/(min ·m2),(4.1 ± 0.8) L/(min ·m2) in experimental group and (76.9 ± 8.0) mmHg,(3.5 ± 0.4) L/(min· m2),(3.6 ± 0.3) L/(min · mè) in control group,and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).During surgery and 24±hour stay in intensive care unit,the total fluid volume,crystal usage,urine and colloid usage were (2 915 ± 650),(2 715 ± 415),(1 515 ± 315),(1 225 ± 385),(419 ± 233),(619 ± 285),(1 015 ± 220),(1 535 ± 455) ml in experimental group and (3 645 ±770),(3 355 ±750),(2 315 ±320),(1 855 ±325),(602 ±31),(875 ±423),(805 ±250),(1 135 ± 205) ml in control group,and there were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The perioperative adverse cardiac events rate was 30％ (12/40) in experimental group,lower than 45％ (18/40) in control group,but the difference was no statistically significance (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion In the elderly patients with coronary artery disease undergoing gastrointestinal surgery,individualized fluid therapy can effectively decrease adverse cardiac events,improve postoperative gastrointestinal function,and reduce length of hospital stay.

BACKGROUND:As the potent, specific immunosuppressants emerge, the survival rate after intestinal transplantation is improved to some extent. However, the adverse effects of immunosuppressants and expensive treatment costs are not tolerable for many patients. Therefore, it is clinical y meaningful to choose traditional Chinese medicine which presents immunosuppressive effects. Artesunate has immune suppression effect, reduces acute rejection fol owing smal intestine transplantation, and improves the success rate of smal intestine transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect and action mechanism of artesunate in acute rejection after smal intestine transplantation in rats.
METHODS:Al ogeneic smal intestine transplantation models were established in the closed group of
Sprague-Dawley rats and Wistar rats, and then were randomly divided into three groups, syngenic transplantation group (SD→SD), al ogeneic transplantation group (Wistar→SD), and artesunate treatment group (Wistar→SD+artesunate 60 mg/kg per day, intraperitoneal injection).
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Rats in syngenic transplantation group survived for more than 10 days and they were al kil ed on day 10. The average survival of rats in al ogeneic transplantation group and artesunate treatment group was respectively (6.73±0.58) days and (8.50±0.74) days, with significant differences between the two groups (P<0.01). Histopathological examination showed that, there was no apparent rejection in syngenic transplantation group specimens, but mild, moderate and severe rejections in al ogeneic transplantation group on days 3, 5, 7. In treatment group, some specimens had mild rejection, but appeared relatively late to a low degree. Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay results revealed that, serum interleukin-2 and interferon-gamma expression levels in al ogeneic transplantation group were significantly higher than other two groups after surgery (P<0.01), serum interleukin-2 gene expression level in treatment group was also higher than syngenic transplantation group, but there was no significant difference (P>0.05), serum interferon-gamma expression level in treatment group was higher than syngenic transplantation group (P<0.05). Artesunate can inhibit acute rejection after rat smal intestine transplantation, and its mechanism may be related to inhibition effect on the secretion and expression of interleukin-2, interferon-gamma and other cytokines.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of soluble CD23 ( sCD23 ) and thrombopeietin (TPO) in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and their correlation with other prognostic factors. Methods The serum levels of sCD23 and TPO of 25 CLL patients were detected with enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Flow cytometry was employed to determine the expression of CD38 and ZAP-70 protein. Results TPO level in CLL patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls 67.22 - 1881.77 ng/L and 70. 29 - 147. 98 ng/L respectively, P =0. 003. sCD23 level in CLL patients was significantly higher than that in normal controls 129. 80-405. 31 U/ml and 0. 65 -32. 99 U/ml respectively, P =0. 000. TPO level was significantly correlated with Binet stage and CD38 expression. Patients in stage B and C had higher level of TPO than those in stage A 140. 57 -457.48 ng/L and 121.92 - 163.83 ng/L respectively, P =0.014,while TPO level was higher in patients with higher CD38 expression than in patients lower CD38 expression 113.23- 199. 10 ng/L and 141.34 -454. 92 ng/L respectively, P = 0. 033. No significant correlation of sCD23 and TPO levels with ZAP-70 protein, sex, age, peripheral lymphocyte count and lactate dehydrogenase were observed. Conclusion Serum TPO level might be a prognostic factor in CLL.

Objective To evaluate the application of “expert-guided network tracking system” in training community general practitioner for hypertension management.Methods Total 855 general practitioners (GPs) from 20 community health service centers in Hangzhou,Jiaxing and Shaoxing of Zhejiang province were divided into two groups: 430 GPs from 10 community health centers received training for hypertension management using “ expert-guided networking tracking system” (intervention group) in December 2008 and 425 GPs from another 10 health centers received conventional training (control group).Questionnaire surveys about the knowledge and skill of hypertension management were conducted before and 3 y after training.Results The awareness rates of knowledge about hypertension prevention and control,non-drug therapy and drug therapy increased from 37.0％ (159/430),45.6％ (196/430),42.8％ (184/430) to 66.8％ (284/425),81.4％ (346/425),77.6％ (330/425),respectively and the accuracy of case analysis increased from 38.4％ (490/1290) to 73.3％ (946/1290) (P ＜0.01) after training in intervention group.Meanwhile the knowledge and case management abilities in control group were also improved after conventional training,but the degree was significantly lower than that in the intervention group.Conclusions “Expert-guided networking tracking system” can significantly improve the knowledge and skills for hypertension management in community general practitioners.

Aim To explore the effect of microRNAs on the differentiation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes and the expression of adipo-related gene-fatty acid binding protein during the adipocyte differentiation.Methods adipo-related microRNAs during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation were screened and identified by micorRNA microarray.Constructed high-expression plasmids of the adipo-related microRNAs,were transfected into the 3T3-L1 preadipocytes by lipofectamine.While the effect of adipo-related microRNAs on the course of 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation was observed,the protein and mRNA expression level of fatty acid binding protein(FABP4)were analyzed by Western blot and RT-PCR during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation.Results The expression profiles of microRNAs have significant changed during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation,in which 35 microRNAs among them down-relation,the most lowly expression is miR-24;17 microRNAs among them up-relation,the most highly expression is miR-21.MiR-24 significantly inhibited adipocyte differentiation and maturity,while miR-21 have no significant effect.MiR-24 significantly inhibited the expression of FABP4,but had no effect on the level of its mRNA;miR-21 had no effect on the expression of protein and mRNA of FABP4.Conclusion There exist adipogenic-related microRNAs during 3T3-L1 adipocyte differentiation; miR-24 play an important role in the regulation of 3T3-L1 preadipocyte differentiation into adipocyte and the(FABP4)protein expression.

Objective To evaluate the MR perfusion imaging in measuring the hemodynamics of liver.MethodsCT and MR perfusion imaging were performed in livers of 13 pigs.The hepatic artery perfusion(HAP),portal vein perfusion(PVP),total hepatic blood flow(THBF),portal vein perfusion index(PVI),distribution volume(DV)and mean transit time(MTT)were calculated and compared respectively.Hemodynamics of the liver from two kinds of imaging was compared by paked t-test,and the relativity was analyzed by Pearson correlation analysis.ResultsIn CT and MR perfusion imaging of the 13 pigs:the hepatic artery perfusion(HAP)were(37.7±7.38)and(35.80±7.31)ml-min-1·100ml-1.the portal vein perfusion(PVP)were(123.16 35.89)and(121.40±36.81)ml·min-1·100 ml-1.the total hepatic blood flow(THBF)were(160.88±37.05)and(157.21±38.71)ml·min-1·100 ml-1.the portal vein perfusion index(PVI)were(75.95±5.21)%and(76.63±5.24)%,the distilbution volume(DV)were(35.10±11.17)%and(41.03±10.06)%。The mean transit time(MTT)were(14.08±1.40)and(14.94±1.32)s.There were no statistical differences for HAP,PVP,THBF and PVI between CT and MR perfusion imaging(t=1.263,0.926,1.225,-1.115,P＞0.05).There were no statistical differences for DV and MTT(t=-3.345,-3.200,P＜0.01).Analysis of these two kinds of imaging showed the correlation coefficient of PVP,THBF and PVI were hishly related(r＞0.85,P＜0.01).Correlation coefficient of HAP,DV and M1T were moderately related(r＞0.70,P＜0.01).ConclusionsMR perfusion Call quantify the blood flow parameters of liver accurately.It is close to that of the CT perfusion imaging.

Objective To study the effects of rehabilitation training on learning and memory ability and the expression of growth-associated protein-43(GAP-43)in rats with vascular dementia.Methods Forty-four female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to a rehabilitation group(n=20),an immobilization group(n=20),and a sham-operation group(n=4).The rats in the former 2 groups were operated on to establish the experimental vascular dementia model by repeatedly ischemia/reperfusion injury of brain induced by ligation of bilateral common carotid arteries and lowering of blood pressure induced by intraabdominal injection of sodium nitroprusside.The rats in rehabilitation group were administered with rotating bar and rolling cage exercises for 1 hour once daily,while those in the immobilization group were immobilized and without any exercise:the rats in sham-operation group could move freely in cage.Learning and memory tests were preformed by using step-down avoidance test at the 27th and 28th days after operation.Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect GAP-43 expression in hippocampus CA1 area at different time points after operation. Results The rats in rehabilitation group demonstrated better learning and memory ability than those in immobilization group(P<0.01),and more GAP-43 expression in hippocampus CA1 ar-ea than those in immobilization group and sham-operation(P<0.01).Conclusion Rehabilitation training can im-prove the learning and memory ability of rats with experimental vascular dementia,and the mechanism is probably re-lated to the increase of GAP-43 in hippocampus CA1 area.

Objective To investigate the effect of rehabilitation training on learning and memory ability and the expression of neural cell adhesion molecule(NCAM)in rats modeling vascular dementia.Methods Foay-five female Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to a rehabilitation group(20 rats),an immobilization group(20 rats),or a sham-operation group(5 rats).The experimental vascular dementia model was established by repeatedly clipping the common carotid artery to induce repetitive isehemia-reperfusion,and by reducing blood pressure with intra-abdominal injection of sodium nitroprusside.The rats' learning and memory were tested on the 27th and 28th days after the operation using a water-maze step-down avoidance test.A RT-PCR technique was used to detect NCAM expression around the hippocampal area at different times after the operation.Results The rehabilitation group rats showed significantly better learning and memory ability than those in the immobilization group.NCAM was also more strongly expressed in their hippocampi than in those of the immobilization group and sham-operation group.Conclusion Rehabilitation can accelerate recovery of learning and memory ability in rats,and the mechanism possibly is related to the increase of NCAM expression in the hippocampus.

Objective To investigate the role of alprostadil on hepatic perfusion after transarterial chemoembolization(TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods Sixty-four consecutive patients with HCC were randomized to either treatment with PGE_1 after TACE (treatment group, 32 cases) or no additional treatment after TACE (control group, 32 cases). In PGE_1 group, Lipo-PGE_1 was administered intravenously once a day for total of seven days, once after completion of TACE. The dosage of Lipo-PGE_1 was 0.4μg/kg and rote 0.05 μg·kg~(-1)·min~(-1). In control group, regular TACE was used. All patients underwent hepatic CT perfusion within 1 week before TACE and 4 weeks after TACE. The parameters of hepatic perfusion, including hepatic arterial perfusion value (HAP), portal vein perfusion value (PVP), total liver perfusion value (TLP) , and hepatic arterial perfusion index (HPI) were measured and compared. Chi-Square test was used for comparison of CT perfusion parameters in different stage, and t test was used for comparison of each CT porfusion parameter between two groups. Results In control group, HAP of pre-TACE, 4 weeks after first TACE, and 4 weeks after second TACE was (0.18±0.08), (0.22±0.09), (0.32±0.10) ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1), respectively. Likewise, PVP was (1.11±0.31)、(0.82±0.27)、(0.59±0.25) ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1), respectively, and TLP was (1.29±0.33), (1.04±0.28), (0.91±0.24) ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1), respectively, and HPI was (14.31±6.36)%, (21.37±9.07)%, (36.67±13.42)%, respectively. The perfusion parameters at different stages of TACE were statistically different (F=19.71,27.47,14.75,41.41, P<0.05). In PGE1 group, HAP before TACE, after first TACE, and after second TACE was (0.17±0.08), (0.20±0.08), (0.26±0.08) ml·min~(-1)·mi~(-1) respectively, and PVP was (1.09±0.36), (1.03±0.40), (0.91±0.41) ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1), respectively, and TLP was (1.26±0.38), (1.23±0.40), (1.17±0.44) ml·min~(-1)·ml~(-1) respectively, and HPI was (14.04±6.71)%, (17.26±7.86)%, (23.93±8.96)%, respectively. The difference of HAP and HPI at different stage of TACE was significant (F = 10.78, 13.05, P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference both PVP and TLP (F = 1.73,0.39, P > 0.05). The difference of PVP and TLP between the control and PGE1 group was significant after first TACE(t = -2.37, -2.14, P <0.05)and second TACE (t = 2.55, - 4.49, P < 0.05) In addition, after the second TACE, the HAP and HPI were also significantly different (t = - 3.41,5.09, P < 0.05). Conclusions PVP and TLP decrease while HAP and HPI increase after TACE. Lipo-PGE1 improves hepatic peffusion after TACE, exerting its greatest effect by increasing portal vein perfusion. Consequently, treatment with Lipo-PGE1 appears to increase liver tissue perfusion and thereby alleviate injury induced by TACE.
