Objective To compare the outcomes of two temperature maintenance strategies during radical resection for carcinoma of oesophagus and their effects on postoperative shivering. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ patients undergoing radical resection for carcinoma of oesophagus were randomly assigned to hypothermia group (HT group, patients were not wanned perioperatively, n=10), intraoperative normothermia group (INT group, patients were warmed only intraoperatively, n=10) and perioperative normothermia group(PNT group, patients were warmed before induction of anesthesia and during anesthesia, n=10). The tympanic temperature began to be recorded 20 min before induction of anesthesia at intervals of 10 min. Results There was no significant difference in the decrease velocity of tympanic temperature during the first hour after induction of anesthesia between HT group and INT group, while both were significantly higher than that of PNT group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the tympanic temperature within 70 min after induction of anesthesia between HT group and INT group, while both were significantly lower than that of PNT group (P<0.05). The tympanic temperature of HT group continued to decrease 70 min after induction of anesthesia, while that of INT group and PNT group began to increase. There were significant differences in the tympanic temperature 80 min to 180 min after induction of anesthesia among these three groups(P<0.05). The incidences of postoperative shivering were 8, 5 and 2 in HT group, INT group and PNT group, respectively. The scores of thermal comfort scale were 19±10, 41±7 and 51±11 in HT group, INT group and PNT group, respectively, and there were significant differences among these three groups(P<0.05). Conclusion Compared with INT, PNT can more effectively maintain perioperative normothermia, reduce the incidence of shivering and relieve the patients' cold thermal discomfort in radical resection for carcinoma of oesophagus.

Objective To observe the DNA damage in the human lung fibroblasts(HLF)induced by insoluble nickel compounds(Ni3S2 and Ni2O3)and soluble nickel compound(NiSO4),and to study the mechanism of carcinogenesis.Methods The DNA damage of HLF cells treated with different concentrations of Ni3S2,Ni2O3 and NiSO4 were detected with the method of single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE).Results All of the three kinds of nickel compounds significantly caused DNA damage in HLF cells,the average tail moments of all nickel-treated groups were larger than those in the control group(P

To study the antiarrhythmic effect of the newly developed alpha/beta-blocker TJ0711, a variety of animal models of arrhythmia were induced by CaCl2, ouabain and ischemia/reperfusion. Glass microelectrode technique was used to observe action potentials of right ventricular papillary muscle of guinea pig. The onset time of arrhythmia induced by CaCl2 was significantly prolonged by TJ0711 at 0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg x kg(-1) doses. TJ0711 (1.5 and 3 mg x kg(-1)) can significantly shorten the ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) duration, the incidence of VF and mortality were significantly reduced. On ischemia-reperfusion-induced arrhythmic model, TJ0711 (0.25, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg x kg(-1)) can significantly reduce the ventricular premature contraction (PVC), VT, VF incidence, mortality, arrhythmia score with a dose-dependent manner. At the same time, rats serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatine kinase (CK) activities decreased significantly by TJ0711 (1 and 2 mg x kg(-1)). Ouabain could cause arrhythmia in guinea pigs, when TJ0711 (0.375, 0.75, 1.5 and 3 mg x kg(-1)) was given, the doses of ouabain inducing a variety of arrhythmia PVC, VT, VF, cardiac arrest (CA) were significantly increased with a dose-dependent manner. In the TJ0711 0.1-30 micromol x L(-1) concentration range, guinea pig right ventricular papillary muscle action potential RP (rest potential), APA (action potential amplitude) and V(max) (maximum velocity of depolarization) were not significantly affected. APD20, APD50 and APD90 had a shortening trend but no statistical difference with the increase of TJ0711 concentration. TJ0711 has antiarrhythmic effect on the sympathetic nerve excitement and myocardial cell high calcium animal arrhythmia model. Myocardial action potential zero phase conduction velocity and resting membrane potential were not inhibited by TJ0711. APD20, APD50 and APD90 were shortened by TJ0711 at high concentration. Its antiarrhythmic action mechanism may be besides the action of blocking beta1 receptor, may also have a strong selective blocking action on alpha1 receptor and reducing intracellular calcium concentration.

Objective To observe the effect of different calcium concentration peritoneal dialysate on calcium-phosphorus metabohsm in uremia patients under peritoneal dialysis. Methods Forty uremia patients who the first entered peritoneal dialysis were divided into two groups: standard calcium concentration group (20 cases), low calcium concentration group (20 cases). Treated with continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD), combining with oral calcium carbonate, observing 12 months. Results When the first entering CAPD, serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product, immunoreactive parathyroid hormone (iPTH) of the two groups had no differences. Hyperphosphatemia, lower iPTH were universal. After 6 months' treatment, hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia in standard calcium concentration group got increasingly serious.While in low calcium concentration group, serum calcium, phosphorus, calcium-phosphorus product all decreased significantly, moreover, they were also lower than post-treatment standard calcium concentration group(P<0.01). In the following 6 months, in low calcium concentration group,serum calcium, calcium-phosphorus product maintained at the normal level serum phosphorus also decreased to the normal level iPTH maintained about 150 ng/L. During the treatment, all patients had no hypotension and hyperspasmia. Conclusion Low calcium concentration peritoneal dialysate can ameliorate disorder of calcium-phosphorus metabohsm, delay the appearance of its comphcations.

Objective　To investigate the effect of turning scleral flap of self-body over drainage in trabeculectomy.Methods　The surgery was performed on one eye of a rabbit while　the other eye of the same rabbit was conducted with the routine trabeculectomy as the control group. The filtering bleb, intraocular pressure and pathology were observed. Results　The intraocular pressure in the experimental eye was much lower than that in the control group 3～12 weeks after the operations (P＜0.05).As it was within 2 weeks after the surgeries, but there was no significant filtering difference (P＞0.05).The rate of eyes with functional bleb in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group at the postoperative 2～7 weeks .Conclusion　This study suggests the turning of self-body over drainage surgery can help to maintain filtering function for a long time and to prevent complication after filtering surgery.

Objective To study the efficacy and safety of short segmental pedicle instrumentation via the paraspinal approach for the management of neurologically intact patients with thoracolumbar burst fracture and posterior ligamentous complex injury.Methods From October 2008 to June 2010,70 such patients were treated in our department.They were 44 males and 26 females,with an average age of 33.4 years (range,from 19 to 55 years).They were divided into 2 groups according to 2 different operative methods.In group A,35 patients were treated via the paraspinal approach while 35 patients in group B were treated via the traditional open approach.The 2 approaches were compared in terms of operation time,intraoperative bleeding,postoperative ambulant time,hospital stay,changes in local kyphosis angle (LKA) and vertebral body height (VBH) at preoperation,postoperation and the last follow-up,postoperative complications and accuracy of screw insertion.Results The time for follow-up ranged from 24 to 36 months (mean,29.3 months).The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,postoperative ambulant time and hospital stay in group B were significantly more than in group A(P ＜ 0.05).No implant failure occurred in either group.There was no significant difference in pedicle screw cut-out between the 2 groups [7 (5.0％) versus 6 (4.3％)] (P ＞0.05).The LKA and VBH increased significantly at postoperation and the last follow-up compared with the preoperation in both groups (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no significant difference between the postoperation and the last follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).There were no significant differences between the 2 groups regarding LKA and VBH at preoperation,postoperation and the last follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The paraspinal approach may result in a good and safe clinical outcome in the treatment of thoracolumbar burst fractures with posterior ligamentous complex injury,because it can maintain the fracture reduction effectively and minimize the iatrogenic injury to soft tissues.
