Objective To evaluate the role of large conductance calcium-activated potassium (BKCa) channels in vascular hyporesponsiveness in rats with obstructive jaundice.Methods Eighteen male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 180-200 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),sham operation group (group S),and bile duct ligation group (group BDL).Obstructive jaundice was produced by common bile duct ligation.At 7 days after surgery,blood samples were collected for determination of the levels of serum total bilirubin (TBL),direct bilirubin (DBL),indirect bilirubin (IBL),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),and aspartate aminotransferase (AST).Thoracic aortic rings were prepared,and the endothelium was removed.The aortic rings were sequentially perfused with different concentrations of norepinephrine (NE) and sodium nitroprusside (SNP),and the maximum amplitude of contraction and dilatation of aortic rings was recorded.The aortic rings were then perfused with BKCa channel blocker Chtx with the final concentration of 10 7 mol/L,followed by perfusion with different concentrations of NE and SNP again,and the maximum amplitude of contraction and dilatation of aortic rings was recorded under each concentration.The percentage of maximum contraction and dilatation (maximum amplitude after Chtx administration÷maximum amplitude before Chtx administration× 100％) was calculated.Results Compared with C and S groups,the levels of TBL,DBL,IBL,ALT and AST in serum were significantly increased,the maximum amplitude of NE-induced contraction of aortic rings was decreased,and the percentage of the maximum NE-induced dilatation of aortic rings was increased,the maximum amplitude of SNP-induced contraction of aortic rings was increased,and the percentage of the maximum SNP-induced dilatation of aortic rings was decreased in group BDL.Conclusion Excessivc opening of BKCa channels may be involved in the mechanism of vascular hyporesponsiveness in rats with obstructive jaundice.

Objective To investigate the effects of leukotriene in children with respiratory syncytial (RSV)viral bronchiolitis.Methods The blood and sputum levels of Ieukotriene were detected in 33 cases diagnosed RSV bronchiolitis and 12 cases which were diagnosed pneumonia without RSV infection.Thirty-three cases of bronchiolitis were devided into mild-moderate group(n =22)and severe group(n =11)according to the lowell score.Results The blood and sputum levels of leukotriene in mild-moderate group,severe group,and pneumonia group were(76.96 ± 28.19)pg/ml,(103.53 ± 16.85)pg/ml,(18.14.± 7.49)pg/ml;(31.83 ± 19.14)pg/ml,(67.11 ± 15.11)pg/ml,(6.81 ± 2.90)pg/ml in acute period,and(36.04 ±16.38)pg/ml,(52.27 ± 17.03)pg/m l,(18.14 ± 7.49)pg/ml of serum in recovery period.There were significant differences among three groups(F =48.09,P ＜ 0.001 ; F =15.50,P ＜ 0.001 ; F =44.43,P ＜0.001).After treatment,the blood levels of leukotriene were significantly decreased,but were still higher than that of pneumonia group(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The blood and sputum levels of leukotriene increase in children with RSV bronchiolitis,which is related with the severity of bronchiolitis.

Objective To investigate the cognitive dificiency characteristics and the neuro electrophysiological mechanism of sleep disordered breathing(SDB) in school-age children.Methods20 cases of SDB children and 20 cases of normal group at 6-8 years old participated in the continue performance test(CPT-AX).The amplitude and latency of N2,P3 of event related potentials(ERPs) were measured and analysed at Fz leads,and the behavioral results were recorded at the same time.ResultsThere were no significant differences between SDB group and normal group in behavioral correct number (36.10±4.69 vs 35.05±3.49),the reaction time ((523.77±68.73)ms vs (496.59±78.65)ms) and false alarm number (1.0 (0.25,3.75) vs 0.5 (0.00,3.00))(all P>0.05).The SDB group showed significant increase in Go-P3 amplitudes compared with the normal group((10.25±6.46)μV vs (6.56±4.63)μV,P<0.05).The Go-P3 latency in SDB group was significantly prolonged than that in the normal group((438.80±59.72)ms vs (406±36.30)ms,P<0.05),and the Nogo-N2 amplitude in SDB group significantly decreased compared with the normal group ((-12.46±4.75)μV vs (-15.50±3.82)μV,P<0.05).ConclusionThe children aged 6 to 8 years old with sleep disordered breathing consume more resources and time to complete the attention process,like a compensatory response.And during the monitoring process there is a resource shortage that results in obvious defect in process of inhibition.

Objective To investigate the opportunity and skill of surgery for pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension.Methods Clinical data were retrospectively analyzed on 15 cases of pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension admired from Dec 2015 to Dec 2017.Results All fiften cases underwent surgical treatment,among them three cases were initially treated conservatively in the early stage and treated surgically for gastrointestinal bleeding,12 cases with definite pancreatic disease and pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension treated in the first stage.Three patients underwent second surgery for recurrent gastrointestinal bleeding.The patients were followed up for 6 to 18 months with symptoms significantly impioved without deaths.Conclusions Splenectomy combined with esophagogastric devascularization is the basic surgical treatment for pancreatic sinistral portal hypertension.

AIM: To investigate the effects of placement of the absorbable packing material Nasopore around the anastomosis site on postoperative re-bleeding, discomfort, and on the success rate of endoscopic dacryocystorhinostomy(En-DCR).METHODS: Prospective randomized controlled study. A total of 101 patients(101 eyes)diagnosed with chronic dacryocystitis that underwent En-DCR in the ophthalmology department, Renmin Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine from November 2020 to October 2021 were collected. The patients were randomly divided into two groups according to whether they were packed with Nasopore at the end of operation, namely, the packed group(49 eyes)and the non-packed group(52 eyes). The postoperative follow-up was 9 mo, the degree of re-bleeding, discomfort, and postoperative success rate(including anatomical success rate and functional success rate)were compared between the two groups of patients.RESULTS: This study included 94 patients, including 45(45 eyes)and 49(49 eyes)in packed group and non-packed group, respectively. The En-DCR was performed successfully in all patients. Postoperative re-bleeding occurred in 1 eye(2%)in the packed group, and 9 eyes(18%)in the non-packed group(P<0.05); postoperative nasal discomfort occurred in 2 cases(4%)in the packed group, and 9 cases(18%)in the non-packed group(P<0.05); The success rate of postoperative anatomical success rate was 93%(42/45)in the packed group and 88%(43/49)in the non-packed group(P>0.05). The postoperative functional success rate was 89%(40/45)in the packed group and 86%(42/49)in the non-packed group(P>0.05). Other complications such as orbital fat prolapse, cerebrospinal fluid leakage, sinusitis, visual impairment and double vision were not observed in all patients during the follow-up.CONCLUSION: Nasal packing absorbable material Nasopore around the anastomosis at the end of En-DCR operation can reduce postoperative re-bleeding and postoperative discomfort of patients, and it has no obvious effect on the postoperative success rate.
