Objective To establish a non-traumatic mouse model of acid aspiration-induced lung injury which al-lows longitudinal studies.Method C57BL/6 mice were anesthetized and orotracheally intubated with a 20 gauge angio-catheter guided by optical fiber.The mice were subsequently placed in the right lateral decubitus position and external com-pression to the left lung was manually applied.A polyethylene catheter was advanced into the right lung and used to instill either hydrochloric acid (2.5μL/g, 0.1 mol/L, pH 1.5) or saline as control.Then the mice were recovered with supple-mental oxygen for 4 hours.The pulmonary physiological function and survival of mice within 2 weeks after surgery were as-sessed.Results Methylene blue instillation showed that the staining fluid went into the right lung of the non-traumatically intubated mice.The survival rate of the mice with non-traumatic instillation was 80%, statistically significantly higher than those with tracheostomy instillation.Histological examination and lung function ( wet/dry ratio, elastance and arterial oxy-gen saturation) assay demonstrated that acid instillation caused a profound pathological changes and functional impairment of the lung.Besides, acid aspiration into the mouse lung caused a significant increase in neutrophil infiltration in mouse pulmonary alveoli and high concentrations of inflammatory factors (TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL1 and CXCL2) in the bronchoalve-olar lavage fluid.Conclusions We successfully established a mouse model of acid aspiration-induced lung injury, which may serve as a reliable model for longitudinally studying pulmonary immune-inflammatory mechanism in humans.

Objective To study the mechanism of GuiJi cream in dispelling effects on corrupt microorganism.Methods A total of 90 full-layer skin injured rats were served as test model. The effects of Guiji cream on collagen type Ⅰ (C Ⅰ), matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) and MMP-3 in granulation tissue of wound were observed with immunohistochemistry technique and image-analysis system at various stages of healing. Results The expression of C Ⅰ was obviously increased and the level of MMP-1 and MMP-3 increased at the early stage and kept at a high level from day 3 to day 10. Conclusion The mechanism of GuiJi cream for dispelling effects on corrupt microorganism was increasing the C Ⅰ content in granulation tissue of wound through inhibiting the secretion of MMP- 1.

BACKGROUNDTo analyze the perioperative respiratory and circulatory features of overweighted patients with lung cancer.

METHODSThe perioperative respiratory and circulatory features of 221 overweighted lung cancer patients were compared with those of 715 normal-weighted patients, by means of Chi-square analysis and t analysis.

RESULTSThe abnormal incidence of MBB, Raw, SGaw, PEF, FEV₁, V₇₅ , and EEG, blood presure, serum cholesterol and glucose, was significantly higher in overweighted group than that in the normal weighted group ( P < 0.05), and FRC was significantly lower than that of the normal weighted group (3.46±0.87 vs 3.63±1.17, P < 0.01). There was no difference in D LCO, MMEF, V₅₀ , V₂₅ between the two groups. The odds of postoperative complication in respiratory or circulatory system was significantly increased in overweighted group than that in the normal weighted group.

CONCLUSIONSThe obstruction of main airway, partial alveolar collapse and impotency of respiratory muscle may result in respiratory complication in overweighted patients, and increased cardiac burden and some pre-existing diseases in overweighted patients might be the cause of increased incidence of circulatory complication.

Objective To investigate the safety and effect of zoning laminectomy for the ossification of thoracic ligamentum flavum.Methods From November 2011 to December 2014,34 patients (15 males,19 females;41-76 years old,average 55.0±8.1) with ossification of thoracic ligamentum flavum (OLF) were treated by zoning laminectomy.The course of disease ranged from 1 month to 123 months (average 16.5 months).According to the anatomical characteristics and the pathological ossification process of the thoracic ligamentum flavum,we proposed the concept of "zoning",which divided each segmental thoracic OLF into three zones:"safety zone","middle zone" and "risk zone".From the features of anatomy of LF and process of OLF development,we found there is no or less cerebrospinal fluid between spinal cord and the tip of each ossified nodular masses in severe OLF,any procedures using instruments in this area have the potential to cause irreversible spinal cord injury,we defined this area as "risk zone",the "null" area of each lamina and lateral and dorsal side of nodular masses as "safety zone",and the other area as "middle zone".From "safety zone" to "risk zone" the spinal canal decreased gradually,different zone needs different surgical strategy:This surgical procedure first removed the "null" area of superior and inferior lamina and dorsal side of each segmental OLF.Next,partially or totally resected the "middle zone",exploring the lateral side of nodular masses,and the "risk zone" was exposed and isolated.Finally,dissected the lateral side of nodular masses,and then the "risk zone" was floated and resected with a directly decompressing the spinal cord.Preoperative and postoperative modified Japanese Orthopedic Association (JOA) score and neurologic functional recovery ratio were used to evaluate the surgical outcomes.Results Of the total 83 decompressed OLF segments,5 (6.0％) located in the upper thoracic spine (T1-T4),8 (9.6％) in the midthoracic spine (T5-T8),and 70 (84.4％) in the lower thoracic spine (Tg-L 1).The followed up ranged from 4 to 40 months,with an average of 21.7±9.9 months.The mean JOA score increased significant from 5.3±2.0 preoperatively to 8.8±1.8 at the final follow-up (t=1 1.566,P=0.001).Postoperative average JOA neurologic functional recovery rates were 63.2％±24.7％,including excellent in 15 cases,good in 11 cases and fair in 8 cases.The excellent and good rate was 76.5％.Twelve cases had transient CSF leakage because of dural defect.The dural defect was only treated by tightly suturing the paraspinal muscles,the subcutaneous tissue,and the skin layers.The CSF leakage lasted for 6 to 8 days after operation.Two cases with wound infection were treated with debridement and antibiotics and healed completely.One case with thoracic spinal cord transient incomplete paralysis due to a post-operative epidural hematoma was treated with an emergency operation and got recovered neurological function.Conclusion Zoning laminectomy has the advantages of safe manipulation and thorough decompression,which is an effective choice for the surgical treatment of thoracic OLF.

Objective To evaluate the effects of 0.0％ and 0.02％ atropine on pupil diameter (PD) and accommodation amplitude (AMP) in myopic children and analyze its relation factors.Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial design was adopted.One hundred and ninety-three myopia children were included from June to October,2016 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University,all the children completed one-year follow-up.All the children were divided into three groups randomly,with 72,74 and 80 myopic children in 0.01％ atropine group,0.02％ atropine group and control group,respectively.The myopic children in 0.01％ atropine group and 0.02％ atropine group wore single-vision spectacle lenses and were treated with 0.01％ and 0.02％ atropine eye drops nightly,respectively.The myopic children in the control group wore spectacle lenses only.The PD and AMP were measured at baseline,and 4,8 and 12 months after treatment.Results There were no significant difference of baselinePD and AMP among the three groups (F=9.321,P=0.820;F=13.209,P=0.220).Compared with basline,after 12 months,the PD increased by 0.75,0.84 and 0.02 mm in 0.01％ atropine group,0.02％ atropine group and control group,respectively.There were statistically significant differences of PD among three groups at different time points (Fgroup =2.168,P=0.013;Ftime =2.139,P=0.015;Finteraction =2.148,P=0.001).Compared with baseline,the PD of 0.01％ atropine group and 0.02％ atropine group were increased 4,8 and 12 months after treatment,and the difference was statistically significant (all at P＜0.001).The PD was stable in control group.After 12 months,the AMP were reduced by 1.25,1.12 and 0.28 D in 0.01％ atropine group,0.02％ atropine group and control group,respectively.There were statistically significant differences of AMP among the three groups at the different time points (Fgroup =18.346,P =0.034;Ftime =1.823,P =0.002;Fintercation =3.239,P =0.023).Compared with baseline,the AMP of 0.01％ atropine group and 0.02％ atropine group were increased 4,8 and 12 months after treatment,and the differences were statistically significant (all at P＜0.05).The AMP remained stable in control group.The change of PD in 0.01％ atropine group and 0.02％ atropine group was correlated with age,baseline PD and baseline eye axis length,respectively (β =0.060,P =0.019;β =-0.440,P＜0.001;β =-0.37,P =0.045).The change in AMP of the atropine group was significantly correlated with the baseline adjustment range (β =-0.71,P＜0.001).Conclusions 0.01％ and 0.02％ atropine show similar effects on pupil diameter and accommodation amplitude after 12 months of treatment in myopic children.
