Objective Microdialysis technique is a technology which can continuous monitoring of a substance′s metabolism level in specific tissues or organs,it can provide a series of substances monitoring of the liver transplantation,especially monitoring of glucose,lactate,glycerol,pyruvate and some amino acids. By the range of these substances, we can anticipate complications and ischemia?reperfusion injury after liver transplantation. In this paper we reviewed the principle, characteristics of the microdialysis technique and its applications of monitoring the ischemia?reperfusion and complications after liver transplantation,then pointed out the main problems and trends of the technology to provide a reference for further research in the field.

Objective To study the safety and efficacy of transpedicular osteotomy en bloc lamina resection to treat thoracic spinal stenosis.Methods A retrospective study of 23 consecutive patients underwent transpedicular osteotomy en bloc lamina resection from June 2004 to December 2008,including 12 males and 11 females,with a mean age of 46 years(range,38-62 years)was conducted.The courses of diseases were 1.5 to 20 months with an average of 6.5 months.There were 18 cases caused by thoracic ossification of ligamentum flavum(OLF),4 cases caused by ossification of posterior longitudinal ligament(OPLL)and 1 case caused chondroma.Preoperative CT and MRI examinations showed that all patients got spinal cord compression.Preoperative ASIA Grade was A for 1 case,B for 3 cases,C for 7 cases and D for 13 cases.Postoperative neurological status was evaluated by ASIA grade system.Results The postoperative follow-up duration ranged from 16 to 58 months(mean 30 months).The operation time varied from 90 to 210 min,with the average of 163 min.Blood loss varied from 600 to 3200 ml,with the average of 2150 ml.Pedicle screws were used in 10 cases with T9-T12 stenosis,and dura excisions were repaired by lumbodorsal fascia in 5 cases.Cerebrospinal fluid leakage occurred in 2 cases.Postoperative ASIA grade showed that there was A for 1 case,B for 2 cases,C for 2 cases,D for 5 cases and E for 13 cases.Conclusion Transpedicular osteotomy is a good approach,which avoid sclerotic cortex and ossified ligamentum flavum,to resect en bloc lamina with with shorter operative time and less blood loss.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of peripheral lymph node addressin(PNAd)andGlcNAc-6-sulfotransferase(GlcNAc6ST)in endometrium and their impacts on implantation.Methods:PNAd expression in endometrium was examined by immunohistochemistry and Western Blot from 75women(12 from healthy women,in proliferative phase;63 from sterile women,of whom,27 were inearly-secretory and 36 in mid-secretory phase).GlcNAc6ST mRNA was examined by real-time PCR in41 sterile women.The 63 sterile women had underwent ⅣF-ET and were consequently divided into clini-cal pregnant(29 cases)and nonpregnant(34 cases)groups.Results:(1)PNAd localized to the mem-brane and cytoplasm of luminal and glandular epithelia.Staining was patchy and much less intense duringthe proliferative phase than during the secretory phase.In Western Blot of PNAd,four bands appeared,which were Sgp200,CD34,MAdCAM-1,GlyCAM-1 respectively,and each was positively correlatedwith the others significantly.The former three molecular levels were significantly higher during the secre-tory phase as compared with the proliferative phase.Message RNA of GlcNAe6ST was positive in all ca-ses and showed no correlation with any component of PNAd.(2)The expressions of CD34 and GlyCAM-1,but not Sgp200 and MAdCAM-1,were significantly higher in pregnant women than in nonpregnantones.However,the GlcNAc6ST mRNA level did not differ between groups.(3)No significant differ-ence was found in female age,methods of fertilization,thickness of endometrium on day hCG,cumulativeembryo score(CES)and mean score of transferred embryo(MSTE)between the groups.Conclusion:PNAd expression in the human endometrium fluctuates with the menstrual cycle.Elevated CD34 and Gly-CAM-1 during the secretory phase might be stimulative factors for embryo implantation.Defect in PNAdexpression may account for a portion of unexplained infertility.

Objective To observe the effects of Wendan decoction (WD) on depression-like behavior in a rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) and explore the related mechanism.Methods Rodent model of PD was established by unilaterally lesioning medial forebrain bundle with 6-hydrodopamine.After intragastric administration with WD,the rats's behavior changes were detected by the open field test,sucrose preference test and forced swimming test;the contents of monoamine neurotransmitters in the rat brain were assessed by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection.Results Compared with those of sham-operated rats,the horizontal and vertical activities of the PD model rats decreased significantly,and sucrose consumption decreased significantly,but immobility time during forced swimming was significantly prolonged.The contents of dopamine (DA),5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and noradrenaline (NA) in the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) and DA in the striatum decreased significantly.After administration of WD for 2 weeks,the immobility time of the PD model rats was significantly decreased,sucrose consumption increased significantly;DA,5-HT and NA levels in the mPFC increased significantly.Conclusion WD improves the depression-like behavior in PD model rats,and the mechanisms may involve the regulation of monoamine neurotransmitters in mPFC.

Objective To investigate the methods, feasibility, outcome and indications of atlantoaxial pedicle screw system in the treatment of upper cervical injury. Methods Thirteen patients with upper cervical injury were treated by atlantoaxial pedicle screw system. There were four patients with old odontoid fractures, two with new odontoid fractures (Aderson ⅡC), three with rapture of the transverse ligament of C1 and four with C1 fracture. Results A total of 26 pedicle screws and 26 pedicle screws were implanted. The mean operation time and perioperative blood loss were 2.6 hours and 470 ml, respectively. No injury to the vertebral artery and spinal cord was observed. All patients were followed up for 4-25 months (mean 13 months). The clinical symptoms were improved to some extent according to Japanese Orthopedic Association scoring system, with improvement rate of 72%-91% (mean 81%). The screws were verified to be fixed in a proper position, and no hardware broken or loosening was observed except for one C1 screw penetrating the medial superior cortex of lateral mass for 3 mm without affecting occipito-aflantal motions. All patients had a solid bony fusion 3-6 months later. Conclusion The atlantoaxial pedicle screw system is feasible in the treatment of upper cervical injury with the advantages of better outcomes and wider indications.

Objective To survey and analyze the factors that may affect the results of human-ities education about master degree postgraduates, and provide the basis and reference for traditional medical humanities education reform. Methods By using the self-made questionnalre, a survey was conducted among 100 medical postgraduates of a university. Questionnalre items included basic infor-mation of the postgraduates, humanities-related extracurricular experiences, whether there had been personal experiences corresponding to these options or these experiences affected the attitude of hu-manistic education options. The survey data were analyzed using SPSS 19.0 software and the results were expressed by the relative number. The differences between different gender, marriage and differ-ent specialty student satisfaction were analyzed by using chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, showing no statistical significance (P>0.05). Results Respondents believed that the highest rate of the top four which supported the experiences that promoted humanistic education were clinic volunteer activi-ties, interpersonal harmony, rescuing the patient experiences and illness experiences, accounting for 95.8%(91/95), 92.6%(88/95), 89.5%(85/95) and 88.4%(84/95), respectively. On the other hand, the highest rate of the top four that impeded humanities education-related experiences were academic stress, workload, limited communication and lack of humane care, accounting for 100.0% (95/95), 95.8%(91/95), 91.6% (87/95) and 84.2% (80/95) respectively. In addition, different types of students' attitude towards experiences that may have impact on the humanistic education were not statistically significant (P>0.05). Conclusion Humanities education in medical colleges should not be limited to classroom instruction form. We should broaden humanistic education approach, flexible assessment methods of humanities, to enhance the effect of humanities education.
