To study the mechanism ofstimulating effect of 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D 3 on induction of neovascularization during gastric carcinogenesis induced by N methyl N′ nitro N nitrosoguanidine in rats, gastric carcinogenesis in rats was induced by administration of MNNG (150mg/L) in drinking water. Four weeks after MNNG exposure, rats were fed with diet containing 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 (2.5?g/kg, 5.0?g/kg) . Animals were killed at week 16, and 32 for the study of neovascularization by cardiovascular perfusion with carbon ink and immunohistochemical staining of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF). Expression of VEGF and microvessel density in glandular stomach of rats receiving 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 ( 5.0?g/kg) in the diet dramatically increased when compared with the rats receiving MNNG alone at week 16, and the differences were more significant at week 32. Expression of VEGF was closely correlated with microvessel density. We propose that certain dose of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 stimulated neovascularization during gastric carcinogenesis in rats induced by MNNG partly through increasing VEGF expression.

OBJECTIVE:To analyze problems occurred in the practical use of clinical medicine cabinet and raise countermeasures.METHODS:The application data of drugs in clinical medicine cabinet were analyzed with the help of Hospital Information System(HIS).RESULTS:Low application frequency and unclear medicine sign were the common problems occurred in the practice of clinical medicine cabinet management;furthermore,the storing condition remained to be improved.CONCLU-SION:Management of clinical medicine cabinet should be regulated and strengthened to promote safe and effective drug use in the clinic.

AIM: To study the immune regulation of paecilomyces cicadidae total polysaccharides. METHODS: After subcutaneous injection with 200 mg/L paecilomyces cicadidae total polysaccharides in the back of the rats for 17 days, the white blood cell (WBC) counts, and the levels of lipid peroxide (LPO) and reduced glutathione (GSH) in the spleen and thymus of rats were detected. The alveolar macrophages (AM?) cultured with 10% fetal bovine serum-RPMI-1640 for 2 h in vitro , then the activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) were detected by automatic biochemistry analyzer, and the ability devouring neutral red in the AM? were examined. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the WBC, the levels of GSH in the spleen and thymus, and the activities of LDH and ACP were significantly increased and the ability of devouring neutral red was also strengthened( P

Objective:To evaluate the correlation between the polysomnographic findings and the degree of obstruction caused by adenoid and tonsillar hypertrophy in children with clinical history of apnea. Method: Retrospectively studied the children who were diagnozed clinically of, obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) and underwented polysomnograph and endoscopy. Patients were divided nto OSAHS and non-OSAHS group according to polysomnographic findings. Result: Ninty-four children were involved in the study population, and 63 children of them were male. The mean age of the children at the time of inclusion in the study was 6.7 years. 36 children(38.3%) diagnosed OSAHS clinically had normal polysomnographic findings. No differences were found between children with PSG-documented OSAHS and others. Tonsillar and/or adenoid hypertrophy were not correlated to more severe apnea among enrolled children. Conclusion-There was no significant correlation between polysomnographic and clinical findings in children with OSAHS.

Objective To evaluate the value of ultrasound-measured quantification of anterior neck soft tissue in predicting the difficult laryngoscopy in the obese patients.Methods Ninety-six patients,with body mass index ≥ 28 kg/m2,aged 22-60 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation,were selected.Assessment methods of modified Mallampati grade (method M) and anterior neck soft tissue quantification measured by ultrasound (method U) were performed before anesthesia.The level of vocal cords was selected using ultrasound scanning for anterior neck.The positive result was greater than 20 mm in method U,and was grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ in method M.Direct laryngoscope was placed after induction of anesthesia.Difficult laryngoscopy was defined as Cormack-Lehane grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ,or in whom laryngoscope could not be placed.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of the two assessment methods for predicting the difficult laryngoscopy were calculated.Results Twenty-two patients were found to have difficult laryngoscopy,and the anterior neck soft tissue quantification was (23.0±3.0) mm,which was significantly thicker than that in the patients of non-difficult laryngoscopy ((1.9±2.2) mm).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of method U were 91％,92％ and 92％,respectively,and of method M were 77％,81％ and 80％,respectively,and there was significant difference between the two methods.There was no significant difference in the parameters of difficult laryngoscopy which were predicted using method U between the patients of different ages or gender.Conclusion It can accurately predict the difficult laryngoscopy in the obese patients when the ultrasound-measured quantification of anterior neck soft tissue is greater than 20 mm.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of adductor canal block (ACB) under the guidance of ultrasound for postoperative analgesia in the pediatric patients undergoing knee operation.Methods Sixty pediatric patients,aged 3-12 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,weighing 12-35 kg,scheduled for elective unilateral knee operation,were selected and randomly divided into 2 equal groups using a random number table:ultrasound-guided ACB group (group ACB) and ultrasound-guided femoral nerve block (FNB) group (group FNB).After induction of general anesthesia,ACB or FNB was performed under the guidance of ultrasound,and 0.3％ ropivacaine 1 ml/kg was injected.Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous infusion of remifentanil combined with propofol,and bispectral index value was maintained at 40-60.Immediately after injection of local anesthetics (T0),and at 4,8,12 and 24 h after injection (T1-4),analgesic efficacy was assessed using the FLACC pain scale,and quadriceps strength was assessed by manual muscle testing.Satisfactory analgesia was defined as FLACC score ≤ 3,and obvious quadriceps weakness was defined as manual muscle testing grade 0-2.The complications associated with nerve block (such as local anesthetic toxicity,bleeding at the puncture site,hematoma),and occurrence of postoperative nausea and vomiting and delayed emergence were recorded.Results There was no significant difference between two groups in the rate of satisfactory analgesia at T1-T4 (P＞ 0.05).Compared with group FNB,the incidence of obvious quadriceps weakness was significantly lower at T1-T3 (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found at T4 in group ACB (P＞0.05).There was no significant difference in the incidence of nausea or retching between two groups (P＞0.05).Complications associated with nerve block,vomiting and delayed emergence were not observed in the two groups.Conclusion Ultrasound-guided ACB can be safely and effectively used for postoperative analgesia in the pediatric patients undergoing knee operation,and it has less influence on the quadriceps strength than FNB.

AIM: To explore the immunomodulatory effect of paecilomyces cicadidae polysaccharides (PCPS).METHODS: Subcutaneous injection with 50, l00, 200 mg/kg of PCPS were given in the back of the rats everyday for l5 days. The number of white blood cells (WBC) was counted. The activities of acid phosphatase (ACP) and lactase dehydrogenase (LDH)in liver, kidney, spleen and thymus were detected by automatic biochemistry analyzer. The ability of devouring neutral red and activity of ACP, LDH, arginase in alveolar macrophages were also detected. The body weight of the rat everyday during experiment and weight of the spleen and thymus after the rats were killed were measured and wet weight index was calculated.RESULTS: The wet weight index of spleen and thymus, the activity of ACP, LDH, arginase and ability of devouring neutral red in alveolar macrophages in the test group treated with PCPS were significantly higher than those in control group. CONCLUSION: PCPS shows a significant immunomodulatory effect with the increasing counts of WBC and activation of alveolar macrophages in a dose-dependent manner.
