Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine used to supplement analgesia with sufentanil on the stress response and inflammatory response after cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty-four patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (New York Heart Association Ⅱ or Ⅲ),scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were randomly divided into sufentanil analgesia group (group S,n =20) and dexmedetomidine supplementing sufentanil analgesia group (group DS,n=24) using a random number table.After induction of general anesthesia,the patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was used to maintain anesthesia.Dexmedetomidine was infused at 0.3 μg · kg-1 · h-1 from closure of the chest to the end of surgery in group DS,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group S.The patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used for postoperative analgesia.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 2 μg/kg in 100 ml of normal saline in group S,or sufentanil 2 μg/kg plus dexmedetomidine 3 μg/kg in 100 ml of normal saline in group DS.The PCIA pump was set up with a 0.5 ml bolus dose,a 5 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1.5 ml/h.Visual analogue scale score was maintained ≤ 3.When visual analogue scale score ≥ 4,morphine 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously.The occurrence of analgesics-related respiratory depression,bradycardia and hypotension was recorded.At the end of surgery (T0),and 12,24,48 and 72 h after surgery (T1-4),blood samples were collected from the central vein for determination of serum cortisol,β-endorphin,C-reactive protein,interleukin-2 (IL-2),and IL-6 concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results No analgesics-related adverse events were detected in the two groups.Compared with group S,the requirement for morphine was significantly decreased,the serum cortisol concentration was decreased at T2-4 and the serum β-endorphin,C-reactive protein concentrations were decreased at T1-4,the serum IL-2 concentrations were increased at T1-4,and the serum IL-6 concentrations were increased at T3 in group DS (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine used to supplement analgesia with sufentanil can alleviate the stress response and inflammatory response after cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

Dig-DNA probes of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome vinus M S gene fragment were prepared by PCR and random primer labeling, The probes had speciality to HFRSV-RNA and could detect 10pg RNA by RNA-DNA dot-blot hybridization. The results of hybridization showed that positive reactions were found in 5, 10 chigger mites groups from antigenic positive rats, 10 mites group from antigenic negative rats, 10, 50 free chigger mites, and hung of antigenic positive mice 100mg, 500mg. But negative reation in 5 mites group from antigenic negative mice.

To state the importance of scientific research capability and general practitioners training for the poor scientific innovation conditions of general practitioner standardization training by the analysis of several ways to improve the scientific research capacity and the probe of the impact on strengthening the consciousness of scientific research to help general practitioner to better work in the areas of primary care and public health.

Objective To explore the role of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)and lym- phocyte function-associated antigen-I(LFA-1)in the pathogenesis of Sjgren's syndrome(SS)and provide a theoretical basis for clinical therapy.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to detect these two cellular adhesion molecules in labial salivary glands of primary Sjgren's syndrome patients and 15 healthy controls.Semiquantitative analysis was performed by image analysis software.Results①In salivary gland samples,the expression of both ICAM-1 and LFA-1 was significantly higher compared to that of controls(P

Objective To isolate and culture sweat gland epithelial cells in vitro,and to study the effects of acetylcholine (ACh) on intracellular flee calcium concentration ([Ca~(2+)]i) of cultured sweat gland epithelial cells.Methods Sweat glands epithelial cells were collected by enzymatic digestion.After ACh was added to the primary and first passage cells,[Ca~(2+)]i was examined using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and the Ca~(2+) sensitive dye Fura 3/AM.Results The primary and first passage epithe- lial cells grew well.After ACh was added,opening of the calcium channel and significant [Ca~(2+)]i increase were observed when the primary and first passage cells were incubated with high concentration of calcium (2 mmol/L);no significant [Ca~(2+)]i increase was observed in those cultured without calcium.Conclusion Upon stimulation with ACh,calcium channels of cultured primary and first passage sweat gland epithelial cells would open,influx of extracellular Ca~(2+) occurred,which resulted in an increase of [Ca~(2+)]i.Extracellular bound calcium was therefore converted into intracellular free calcium.

Sanjie Zhentong capsules were scanned by using a near infrared spectra probe with different drug mass fraction and the spectral information of capsule shells and contents in it were obtained. Then partial least squares (PLS) models were developed for the prediction of mass fraction of Fritillariae Thunbergii Bulbus and Resine draconis in Sanjie Zhentong capsules. The correlation coefficient (r9c)) and root mean standard error( RMSEC) of 0.949 5, 0.958 2 and 4.742 4, 4.135 7. The models obtained correlation coefficient (r(v)) of 0.919 2, 0.936 7 and root mean square error (RMSECV) of 6.158 9, 5.037 3 respectively in the training set. The paired T test analysis of statistics showed that there were no significant difference between predictive values and measure values. The established models reflected a strong prediction performance and can meet the needs of the production.

This study was aimed to optimize the belt drying process conditions ofChuan-XiongConcrete. On the basis of the single factor experiment with drying temperature, feeding speed, drying time as three main variables and the transfer rate of ferulic acid as variable, the optimization of the belt drying process conditions ofChuan-XiongConcrete was identified using Box-Behnken Design. The results showed that the optimal drying parameters were as follows. The feeding speed was 1 kg·h-1. The drying temperature was 95℃. The drying time was 90 min. The transfer rate of ferulic acid was 95.48%. Three verification experiments were taken under these technological parameters. And the average transfer rate of ferulic acid was 95.71%, which was close to the predicted value of the model. It was concluded that the belt drying process of Chuan-Xiong Concrete was steady and feasible, which can be used in the drying process ofChuan-XiongConcrete.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety ofHongteng Chang'an Decoction in treating mild and moderate ulcerative colitis (UC) cases.Methods Totally 120 patients of mild or moderate UC were randomly divided into two groups:TCM group of 60 patients, treated by self-madeHongteng Chang'an Decoction;Western medicine group of 60 patients, treated by mesalazine orally. The treatment course of both groups was 6 weeks, also with two-week follow-up.
