Objective To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) in patients after lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope (VAT) .Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 20-76 yr weighing 45-90 kg undergoing elective lobectomy via VAT were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 25 each): patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group and thoracic PVB group. PVB was performed according to the method described by Jamieson et al and Richardson et al. Paravertebral catheter was placed at T7-8 after induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation. A loading dose of 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml was administered via PVB catheter at 30 min before the end of operation. PVB was then controlled by the patients with 0.2% ropivacaine (bolus dose 8.0 ml, lockout interval 30 min). In PCIA group a loading dose of sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg was given iv at 30 mln before the end of operation. Sufentanil 1.0 μg/ml was used. PCIA included a bolus of 2 ml with a 15 min lockout interval and background infusion 2 ml/h. Numeric rating scale (NRS) (0=no pain, 10 = most severe pain) was used to assess the intensity of pain. NRS score, MAP, HR and SpO2 were recorded before operation (T0 ,baseline), 30 min after withdrawal of chest tube (Ti) and at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation (T2, T3, T4). Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume first second (FEV1.0) were measured and FVC/FEV1.0 ratio was calculated after chest tube was withdrawn. Blood cortisone and glucose concentrations were determined at To, T1 and T4. Requirement for rescue analgesics and side effects were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in MAP, HR, SpO2 and NRS at rest between the 2 groups.NRS at coughing and blood cortisone and glucose concentrations were significantly lower and the postoperative FEV1.0 was significantly higher in PVB group than in PCIA group. The requirement for rescue analgesics and side effects were comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusion Thoracic PVB can provide better postoperative analgesia with little side effects.

Wogonin is a kind of natural flavonoid compound. According to findings in the latest studies, wogonin shows a wide range of antitumor effects, with the characteristics of multi-pathway, multi-link and multi-target, such as promoting tumor cell apoptosis through ROS or Ca(2+)-mediated signal paths, enhancing tumor cytotoxicity by TNF-α and TRAIL, blocking tumor cell cycle, inhibiting tumor angiogenesis and resisting cancer synergistically with chemotherapeutic drugs. Moreover, Wogonin could enhance body immune function by enhancing immune cell infiltration, regulating the immune cell phenotype and promoting relevant cytokine secretion. In this paper, the authors summarized the advance in studies on wogonin's antitumor and immunomodulatory effects.

Background Genetic mutation remains to be the most common cause of congenital cataract.Whole exon sequencing technology is an ideal method to detect the pathogenic gene mutations.Objective This study was to identify the pathogenic gene in a Chinese autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC) family by whole-exome sequencing.Methods This study complied with Helsinki Declaration and the protocol was approved by Ethic Committee of Peking University Third Hospital.Informed consent was obtained from each subject before any medical examination.A cross-sectional study was designed.A Chinese ADCC family with 4 generations and 48 members were enrolled in Peking University Third Hospital,of which Ⅰ1 and Ⅰ2 died.The periphery blood of 8-10 ml was collected from each member of Ⅱ,Ⅲ and Ⅳ generations for the high throughput sequencing of genes using whole exon trapping and new sequencing technology,and the sequencing results were compared with the data of human HA PMAP8,dbSNP130 and 1000 Genome Project database.The synonymous mutation was filtered after reported common variants,and the false positive results of explicit sequencing were finally excluded by Sanger sequencing and then the candidate genes were identified.The mutation genes were screened to determine the pathogenic gene of this ADCC family.Results Eleven ADCC patients were found in this family,and the patients distributed in each generation with an equal chance for involvement in male and female subjects,which conformed to an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.All the patients were nuclear cataract.Genome-wide whole-exome sequencing found that major intrinsic protein (MIP) gene was known genes of ADCC in initially identified candidate genes,so the Sanger was used to verify the MIP gene.The heterozygous mutation of MIP gene (chr12:56845250 C > T) appeared to be the pathogenic cause of this ADCC family.The mutation occurred in the splice sites of the gene,resulting in the fourth exon coded-61 amino acids are replaced by leucine,histidine and serine,which lead to the abnormal truncated proteins.Conclusions The heterozygous mutation of MIP gene is the molecular pathogenesis of this Chinese ADCC family.

Objective: To explore the therapeutic effect of early rehabilitation on aged patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated heart failure (HF). Methods: According to number table method, a total of 168 AMI cases were randomly divided into early rehabilitation group (n=84, received early rehabilitation protocol) and routine treatment group (n=84, received traditional treatment). Incidence rate of complication, bicycling test and walking test result were compared between two groups at the end of rehabilitation program. Results: There were no significant difference in angina pectoris after myocardial infarction, re-infarction, dead cases during hospitalization and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)etc. between two groups (P>0.05 all). Compared with routine treatment group, there were significant rise in completion rates of bicycling test (77.6% vs. 95.0%) and walking test (65.4% vs. 95.8%) at the end of program in early rehabilitation group, P<0.01 both. Incidence rates of complications caused by long-term lying in bed in early rehabilitation group were significantly lower than those of routine treatment group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion: It’s safe and beneficial to perform early rehabilitation protocol in aged patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated heart failure (35%

OBJECTIVETo study the expressions changes of gastric mucosal hypoxia-inducible factor-1alpha (HIF-1alpha) and downstream molecules [such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)] of verrucous gastritis (VG) patients of different Chinese medicine (CM) syndrome types and their clinical significance.
METHODSTotally 94 VG patients were assigned to Gan-Wei disharmony group (GWDG, 28 cases), the damp-heat in Pi-Wei group (DHPWG, 17 cases), the blood stasis in Wei-collateral group (BSWCG, 20 cases), and the insufficiency of Pi-yang group (IPYG, 29 cases). Another 30 patients with chronic mild non-active superficial gastritis patients accompanied with negative Hp infection were recruited as the control group. The Hp infection was detected using 14C-labeled urea breath test. The expressions of HIF-1alpha, VEGF, and COX-2 in the gastric mucosal tissue were detected using immunohistochemical EnVision two-step test.
RESULTSThe positive Hp infection rate in VG patients was 37.23% (35/94 cases). The positive Hp infection rate in patients of DHPWG (76. 47%) was significantly higher than the other three groups (32.14% in GWDG, 31.03% in IPYG, and 20.00% in BSWCG, P < 0.01). The expressions of HIF-1alpha and COX-2 in VG patients of different syndrome types were obviously higher than those of the control group (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Of them, the expression of HIF-1alpha was the highest in BSWCG and the expression of COX-2 was the highest in DHPWG. The expression of VEGF was higher in DHPWG and IPYG than in the control group and the GWDG (P < 0.01, P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe expressions of HIF-1alpha, VEGF, COX-2, and Hp infection showed certain changes in VG patients of different syndrome types. The expression of HIF-1alpha was the strongest in BSWCG. The expressions of VEGF and COX-2 as well as Hp infection were the highest in DHPWG. All showed the specificity of CM syndromes.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of midazolam and morphine combined with TCI of propofol for endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration ( EBUS-TBNA ). Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients undergoing elective EBUS-TBNA were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the plasma concentration (Cp) of TCI of propofol (n=20 each): group Ⅰ Cp = 3 μg/ml (group P1) and group Ⅱ Cp = 4 μg/ml (group P2 ). Midazolam 0.03 mg/kg and morphine 0.05 mg/kg were administered iv followed by topical anesthesia of laryngopharynx with 4% hdocaine. TCI of propofol was started at 5 min before surgery. The patients kept spontaneous breathing during operation. MAP, HR and SpO2 were continuously monitored and recorded before anesthesia (baseline) and at 30 min after beginning of surgery and emergence from anesthesia. Arterial blood gas analysis was performed at 30 min after beginning of surgery and PETCO2 was measured at the end of surgery. The amount of 4% lidocaine used for topical anesthesia, the adverse reactions and the level of patient's satisfaction were recorded. Results PaO2 and pH value were significantly lower while PaCO2 and PET CO2 higher in group P2 than in group P1. There was no significant difference in the emergence time, the amount of 4% lidocaine used,the adverse reactions and the level of patient's satisfaction between the 2 groups. Conclusion TCI of propofol at Cp of 3 μg/ml can provide satisfactory anesthesia for EBUS-TBNA with less respiratory depression and more rapid emergence than that at Cp of 4 μg/ml.
