Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of ketamine on inflammatory cytokines in rabbits with severe burn at early stage and preliminarily approach its regulatory action on early stage of inflammatory reaction due to stress of trauma.Methods Forty healthy male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups in accord with the random number table method: normal control group, scald model group, ketamine analgesia group and ketamine anesthesia group. Before scald, pentobarbital sodium was used for anesthesia, afterwards catheters were inserted into internal jugular vein and internal carotid artery respectively ready for use, and 24 hours later, Ⅲ degree scald at the animal back and buttocks occupying 30% total body surface area (TBSA) was performed as the scald model for all the rabbits except those in normal control group. In ketamine analgesia group, after scald for 0.5 hour, 0.5 mg/kg ketamine intravenous injection was given to the rabbits as the loading dosage and then persistent intravenous pump infusion of 9μg·kg-1·min-1 ketamine was applied for all together 24 hours. In ketamine anesthesia group, after scald for 0.5 hour, 1.5 mg/kg ketamine intravenous injection was given to the rabbits, and then persistent intravenous pump infusion of 45μg·kg-1·min-1 ketamine was applied for 4 hours to maintain systemic anesthesia. In normal control and scald model groups, only intravenous infusion of equal amount of normal saline was given to the rabbits. The amount of intravenous transfusion in each group and the total dosages of ketamine used in ketamine analgesia group and ketamine anesthesia group were recorded. Before scald and 0.5, 6, 12, 24 hours after scald, arterial blood gas analyses were made, and the levels of serum interleukins (IL-1, IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined.Results Although the indexes of blood gas analysis were changed in the four groups, they were all in the normal range, showing that the respiratory function was in the normal range and indirectly reflecting that the circulatory function was also in the normal range, thus the effects on cytokines by factors of respiratory and circulatory functions were ruled out. The levels of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α before scald showed no statistically significant differencesamong the four groups (allP > 0.05). From 0.5 hour after scald, the levels of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α were markedly higher in model group than those of normal control group [IL-1 (ng/L): 30.27±0.93 vs. 13.79±1.11, IL-6 (ng/L): 47.22±1.49 vs. 46.31±4.12, TNF-α (ng/L): 243.39±20.85 vs. 190.95±14.97, allP < 0.05], and the situation continued until 24 hours after scald; the levels of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α from 6 hours after scald were significantly decreased in ketamine analgesia and ketamine anesthesia groups compared with those in the model group, and from 12 hours after scald, the degrees of descent in levels of the above indexes in ketamine analgesia group were more obvious than those in ketamine anesthesia group [IL-1 (ng/L): 19.28±2.51 vs. 40.12±10.31, IL-6 (ng/L): 52.10±4.23 vs. 72.20±10.11, TNF-α (ng/L): 246.03±20.74 vs. 313.71±27.34, allP < 0.05].Conclusion The low-dose ketamine analgesia and ketamine anesthesia have certain degree of inhibitory effect on the expression and release of inflammatory cytokines at the early stage in rabbits with severe burn, the effect of long-term low-dose ketamine analgesia being more significant.

Objective To evaluate the influence of fast-track surgery in perioperative period on the clinical outcomes of patients at nutritional risk in respectable esophageal cancer surgery perioperatively.Methods A total of 170 esophageal carcinoma patients receiving radical operation in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2013 were randomly divided into two groups by simple random method (n =85 each):one group was treated with the new concept of FTS-based on nutritional risk screening (FTS group),and the other control group received conventional perioperative management (CPM group).The postoperative first passage of flatus and defecation,time to drainage tube removal,postoperative hospital stay,and morbidity of the postoperative complication were recorded and compared.Results The time to drainage tube removal and length of postoperative hospital stay were significantly lower in the FTS group than those in the CPM group,and the overall postoperative complication rate was 7.06％ (6/85) in the FTS group and 20.00％ (17/85) in the CPM group (all P ＜0.05).In FTS group,the first flatus time was (59.01 ±2.73) h,the first defecation time was (3.35 ± 1.37) d,removing time of chest tube was (2.76 ±0.34) d,and postoperative hospital days was (8.16 ± 0.80) d; in the control group,they were (90.16 ±2.82) h,(4.78 ± 1.74) d,(4.39 ±0.25) d,and (10.93 ± 1.39) d respectively,showing significant differences (all P ＜0.05).The operative time was similar between these two groups.Conclusion The new concept of FTS by nutrition risk screening and intervention apparently can accelerate recovery after esophagngastrectomy,reduce the rate of overall complications,promote bowel function recovery,and decrease morbidity in the perioperative period for patients with esophageal carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of propofol on liver in severely scalded rabbits.Methods Twenty healthy male New Zealand rabbits, aged 3-4 months, weighing 2.3-2.5 kg, were randomly divided into either scald group (group S, n =10) or propofol group (group P, n =10).Thirty percent of the total body surface was shaved chemically with 10％ sodium sulphate and then exposed to 98 ℃ water for 20 s to produce third degree thermal injury at the back and buttocks of anesthetized rats.In group P, propofol was injected at a dose of 1.5 mg/kg at 1 h after scald, followed by an infusion of 4 mg· kg-1 · h 1 for4 h.The equal volume of normal saline was given in groupS.Before scald (T1), at 1 h after scald (T2) , and at 6, 12 and 24 h after administration of propofol or normal saline (T3-5) , blood samples were taken from the internal jugular vein for determination of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activity (by lactate dehydrogenase method), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activity (by MDH), and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) concentrations (by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay).The rabbits were sacrificed at T5, and their livers were removed and cut into sections which were stained with haematoxylin and eosin and examined under microscope.Results The serum ALT and AST activities and TNF-α concentrations were significantly higher at T2-5 than at T1.Compared with the values at T2, the serum ALT and AST activities and TNF-α concentrations in group S and serum TNF-α concentrations in group P were significantly increased at T3-5, and no significant change was found in the serum ALT and AST activities at T3-5 in group P.Compared with group S, the serum ALT and AST activities and TNF-α concentrations were significantly decreased at T3 5, and the pathological changes were mitigated in group P.Conclusion Propofol provides protective effect on liver in severely scalded rabbits.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of acupuncture combined with tuina in treating patients with cervical vertigo. ＜br> Methods: According to the principle of randomization, 258 cases with cervical vertigo who met the inclusion criteria for the study were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group, with 129 cases in each. The patients in the observation group received acupuncture combined with tuina therapy, while those in the control group were just treated by the same acupuncture therapy as in the observation group. After 10-day continuous treatments, the clinical efficacies of the two groups were analyzed and compared. ＜br> Results: The total effective rate of the observation group was 100%, versus 86.0% of the control group, and the difference was significant (P＜0.05). After treatment, cervical range of motion (ROM) scores in both groups were statistically significantly different from those before treatment (allP＜0.05); in addition, there was a statistically significant difference in inter-group comparison of ROM score (P＜0.05). ＜br> Conclusion: Compared with simple acupuncture treatment, acupuncture combined with tuina therapy has a better effect in improving the ROM of cervical vertigo patients, with higher clinical efficacy.

BACKGROUND:There is no effective therapy for obliterative bronchiolitis after tracheal transplantation. A therapeutic strategy at microRNA (miRNA) molecular level plays a crucial role in the prevention and treatment of complications after organ transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the miRNA differential expression profile in response to obliterative bronchiolitis after orthotopic tracheal transplantation in rats.
METHODS:The obliterative bronchiolitis model after lung transplantation was established through orthotopic tracheal transplantation in inbred strains of rats, and then was identified using histoIogical examination. Total miRNAs were detected by miRNA array and significantly differential expressed miRNAs were filtrated in the transplanted trachea tissues. The miRNA-146a, miRNA-155 and miRNA-451 with significantly differential expressions were used for relative quantitative study. Quantitative real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction was applied to verify the reliability of miRNA array results.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The pathological examination showed that, obliterative bronchiolitis model in rats was successful y established at 4 weeks after orthotopic tracheal transplantation. A total of obliterative bronchiolitis-related 29 miRNAs were found in miRNA expression profiles, including 14 miRNAs with significantly down-regulated expression and 15 miRNAs with significantly up-regulated expression. Among them, the significantly up-regulated miRNAs (miRNA-146a and miRNA-155) and the significantly down-regulated miRNA-451 were involved in immuno-inflammatory reaction. The miRNAs play an important role in regulating pathophysiological changes of obliterative bronchiolitis after lung transplantation.
