ObjectiveTo observe the effect and safety of postoperative patient-controlled epidural analgesia with dezocine plus ropivacaine in patients underwent hysterectomy.Methods60 patients,ASA Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ,undergoing hysterectomy operation.were randomly divided into two groups.0.225％ ropivacaine with 0.005％ dezocine ( DR group) or 0.225 ％ ropivacaine with 0.003％ morphine (MR group) were given epidurally after surgery,respectively,with an initial loading dose 5m l,basal dose of 2ml/h,PCA dose of 0.5ml and lockout time of 15 min.Visual analogue score(VAS),Bruggemann comfort scale(BCS),Ramsay sedation score(RSS),PCEA effective compression of the times and adverse effects were determined and compared at 1 h,4h,8h,12h,24h 36h and 48h after operation.PCEA effective compression of the number and incidence of adverse reactions were observed.ResultsThere were no significant differences in VAS,BCS,RSS and PCEA effective compression of the times between two groups( all P ＞ 0.05 ).The percentage of nausea,vomiting and pruritus were significantly lower in group DR than that in group MR( all P ＜0.05).ConclusionPatient-controlled epidural analgesia with dezocine plus ropivacaine in patients underwent hysterectomy had analgesic effect and safety,with less advers eeffects.

ObjectiveTo explore the relationship between the mRNA and protein expressions of NIX and the pulmonary alveolus apoptosis following severe acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Rat models of severe collision injury on the chest were built.The mRNA and protein expressions of NIX in the alveolar cells at 6,12,24,48,72 and 96 hours after injury were detected using immunohistochemistry,immunoblotting and RT-PCR.Meanwhile,apoptosis of the alveolar cells was checked at different time points with Tunel assay.ResultsThe protein expression of NIX in the alveolar cells was observed both in experimental and control groups,which increased at 6 h post injury,peaked at 48 h and then declined till approaching the pre-injury level at 96 h.In the meantime,NIX showed a high expression both in the vascular endothelial cells (VECs) and the renal interstitial fibroblasts.The apoptosis of alveolar cells mainly presented in bronchi,blood vessel endothelium (BVE) and alveolar epithelium at 24 h post injury.The post-injury apoptosis rate of the alveolar cells was significantly higher than the pre-injury rate ( P ＜ 0.01 ),which reached the peak at 72 h and then decreased gradually.The changes of NIX protein in lung tissue showed a positive correlation with the apoptosis rate of alveolar cells after injury (r =0.303,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe up-regulated expression of NIX takes part in the pathophysiological process of apoptosis of the alveolar cells and shows consistency with the apoptosis rate change of the alveolar cells,as may be the molecular basis for apoptosis of the alveolar cells after ALI.

Objective To explore the effect of CYP2D6 gene polymorphism on blood concentration,therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of anti-depression drug venlafaxine.Methods 69 cases of patients with depression were selected randomly from southern region of FuJian,China.The blood concentration of venlafaxine was detected by HPLC,and the CYP2D6 genotype was determined by sequencing with the amplified PCR products from peripheral blood DNA.The therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of venlafaxine were evaluated by Hamilton depression scale(HAMD) and treatment emergent symptom scale(TESS) respectively.Results Subjects was divided into CC,CT,TT three groups based on rs16947 locus genotyping.The blood concentrations of venlafaxine were (157.35±15.63) ng/ml,(70.17±5.11) ng/ml,(115.72± 10.2) ng/ml respectively and there was no significant difference (F=1.257,P=0.301).The dose-corrected concentrations and normalized concentrations were not significantly different (F=1.683,1.547,P＞ 0.05).Similarly,the reduction rate of HAMD (CC:(40.6 ± 7.23) ％,CT:(51.7±7.09)％,TT:(42.8±14.1)％) and TESS scores (CC:1.3±0.21,CT:1.3±0.36,TT:1.2±0.28) were not significantly different either (P＞0.05).In 69 samples in this study,genotyping of rs3892097 locus only found GG type,and no further examination was performed.Genotyping divided rs1065852 locus into CC,CT,TT three groups.The blood concentrations of venlafaxine were (42.87±9.9) ng/ml,(64.25 ± 13.59) ng/ml,(181.56± 14.15) ng/ml respectively,and there was significant difference among the three groups (F=4.893,P=0.016).The dose-corrected concentrations and normalized concentrations were also significantly different (F=3.985,3.648,P＜0.05).The reduction rate of HAMD (CC:(42.6±8.23) ％,CT:(48.8± 10.8) ％,TT:(63.4±9.15) ％) was not significantly different (F=2.961,P=0.07).The difference of TESS scores was similar to that of HAMD reduction rate.Conclusion Among the 3 loci studied,only rs1065852 locus within CYP2D6 gene can affect its enzyme activity and then influence the therapeutic efficacy and adverse effects of venlafaxine.

Objective To detect biofilm formation and biofilm-associated genes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in clinical isolates. Methods The biofilm were determined by microtiter plate assay (MPA) and congo red agar (CRA) and the biofilm-associated genes icaA,sarA,fnbA,fnbB were detected by PCR in 33 strains of MRSA in clinical isolates. Results Of the 33 MRSA isolates, 29(87.9%) were MPA positive, 16(48.5%) were CRA positive; The icaA gene was present in 39.4% of isolated strains. Furthermore, 69.7% of strains harboured the sarA gene, 39.4% were fnbA positive and 75.8% were fnbB positive. As many as 87.9% strains had the ability to form biofilm in vitro. 44.8% of MRSA formed biofilm in ica-dependent mechanism and 55.2% of MRSA isolates formed biofilm in ica-independent mechanism. Of the biofilm positive MRSA, 75.9% were sarA positive, 37.9% were fnbA positive and 79.3% were fnbB positive. Conclusion Most of the MRSA strains formed biofilm in ica-independent mechanism. fnbB and sarA gene shows higher frequency among the biofilm-associated genes of MRSA, it may infer that most of the MRSA strains biofilm formation are fnbB-mediated. Meanwhile, sarA may be a positive regulator of fnbB, and thus drives the biofilm formation.

Objective To establish an isolation method for solid GTC in peripheral blood using EpCAM antibody-linked nanobeads and evaluate the sensitivity of the method and its application significance. Methods Five, ten, twenty, fifty and one hundred MCF7 (breast cancer), KYSE70 (esophageal cancer), BxPC-3 (pancreatic cancer) and 9811P (stomach cancer) cells were added into 7. 5 ml erythrocyte lysed peripheral blood obtained from healthy volunteers respectively. EpCAM antibodylinked nanobeads were used to enrich cancer cells. The recovery rates of the in vitro added cancer cells were evaluated by fluorescence microscopy. Then, the untreated thirty cases of esophageal cancer (six cases at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ, twenty-four cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), thirty-five cases of breast cancer (fifteen cases at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ , twenty cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), thirty cases of pancreatic cancer (five cases at stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ , twenty-five cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ), thirty-three gastric cancer (thirteen cases for stage Ⅰ and Ⅱ ,twenty cases at stage Ⅲ and Ⅳ) were enrolled to enrich the peripheral blood CTC. Thirty healthy volunteers and thirty gastritis patients served as two groups of control. Meanwhile the enriched CTC was identified by IF and HE staining. FISH was used to analyze the copy number of chromosome 8 and chromosome 20 in two hundred esophageal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic caner and gastric cancer CTC. Results After DAPI staining and mixing with 7.5 ml peripheral blood from healthy donors, the average cell recovery rates of KYSE70, MCF7, BxPC-3 and 9811P cells evaluated under fluorescence microscope were 87%, 87%, 86% and 88% (within group), and the recovery rates of 5 gradient dilution levels were 88%, 85%, 87%, 88% and 87% (intergroup). With a high sensitivity, this method was able to isolate one cancer cell in 107 white blood cells of peripheral blood. The positive rates of more than 2 CTC in the peripheral blood detected by this method were 50% (15/30) of esophageal cancer, 63% (22/35) of breast cancer, 70% (21/30) of pancreatic cancer and 61% (20/33) gastric cancer patients respectively,but no CTC was detected in the peripheral blood of healthy volunteers and gastritis patients (P = 0. 000).The aneusomy of chromosome 8 and chromosome 20 were found in 80% esophageal cancer, 75% breast cancer, 65% pancreatic cancer and 59% gastric cancer. Conclusions The CTC isolation technique with EpCAM antibody-linked nanobeads is sensitive and accurate. The aneusomy of chromosome 8 and 20 is frequent in CTC from esophageal cancer, breast cancer, pancreatic cancer and gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the effects of remote limb ischemic preconditioning (RLIP) on the lung injury in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.Methods Sixty-two ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 54-72 yr,with body mass index 21-36 kg/m2,undergoing elective abdominal aortic aneurysm repair,were randomly divided to 2 groups ( n =31 each):control group (group C) and RLIP group.RLIP consisted of two 5-min cycles of left upper limb ischemia induced by a blood pressure cuff placed on the left upper arm and inflated to 200 mm Hg,with an intervening 5 min of reperfusion,during which time the cuff was deflated.RLIP was performed after anesthesia induction and before the start of surgery.Arterial and venous blood samples were taken at 10 min after intubation (T0),and 30 min and 4,8,12 and 24 h after aortic unclamping (T1-5) for blood gas analysis and determination of the concentrations of serum interleukin (IL)-6,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,and plasma malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity.The alveolar-arterial oxygen pressure difference (PA-aO2 ) and respiratory index (RI) were calculated.The peak airway pressure (Ppeak),plat airway pressure (Pplat) and positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) were recorded at the same time points mentioned above to calculate dynamic lung compliance (Cd) and static lung compliance (Cs).The incidence of hypoxemia,extubation time and duration of stay in intensive care unit (IGU) were also recorded.Results Compared with group C,PA-aO2,RI and the concentration of IL-6 were significantly decreased at T3-5,Cs,Cd and SOD activity were significantly increased at T2-5,and the concentrations of TNF-α and MDA were significantly decreased at T2-5 in group RLIP ( P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group C,the incidence of hypoxemia was significantly decreased,and extubation time and duration of stay in ICU were significantly shortened in group RLIP ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion RLIP can reduce the lung injury through inhibition of the inflammatory response and lipid peroxidation in patients undergoing abdominal aortic aneurysm repair.

AIM:Panton-Valentine leukocidin(PVL)is a pore-forming toxin secreted by Staphylococcus aureus epidemiologieally associated with the often-lethal necrotizing pneumonia.Until now,the mechanisms of pathogene-sis of PVL leading to the fatal pulmonia remains undefined and also acquired plenty of the toxins is difficult.In the present study，we obtain recombinant staphylococcal F and S components of the Panton-Valentine leukocidin by gene engineering and evaluate its biological activity in vitro,which provides an experimental basis for the further studies of its biological func-tion and its toxicity in pneumonia.METHODS:The full-length of F and S components of PVL gene amplified from the strain of Staphylococcus aureus DNA by hiSh-fidelity PCR was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET22b(+),and the vector was transformed into BL21(DE3)plysS to construct a prokaryotie expression system.The integrity of the opening-reading frame of each construct was verified by DNA sequencing.The recombinant PVL(rPVL)was induced by1.0 mmol/L IPTG.The expressed products were identified by SDS-PAGE and the fusion proteins(6His-LukS-PV and 6His-LukF-PV)were purified from lysates of transfeeted E.coli cells by affinity chromatography on nitrilotriacetic acid columns.The eytolytie activity was tested by incubation of rPVL with human polymorphonuclear neutrophils(PMNs)in vitro.RESULTS:The nueleotide sequence of the cloned PVL gene was the same as that of reported in GenBank.E coli BL21(DE3)plysS containing recombinant vectors grow at 37℃causes some proteins to accumulate as inclusion bodies.while incubation at 30℃led to a significant amount of soluble active proteins which accounted for about 31.7％ of the total bacterial protein.The relative molecular weight showed on SDS-PAGE profile was consistent with the expected value which the LukS-PV protein was about 34 kD.and the LukF-PV protein was about 35 kD.The purified rPVL was obtained and its cytolytic activity to PMNs was demonstrated.CONCLUSION:The genes of 1ukS-PV and lukF-PV are successfully cloned into plasmid pET22b(+)and expressed in E coli respectively.which provide a basis for analyzing the toxicity related to the diseases and further studies about the pathogenesis of PVL.
