Objective: To study influence of acute hypoxia on the current of voltage-gated potassium channel (IK) in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMC) of rats. Methods: A total of 20 male SD rats were randomly and equally divided into normoxic control group and acute hypoxia group. The rats in acute hypoxia group were kept in hypoxic chamber for 8 h before experiment. Whole cell patch-clamp technique was used to record IK in PASMC. Results: Acute hypoxia significantly decreased the IK density in PASMC of rats. During -60mV to -10mV of resting membrane potential（RMP）, acute hypoxia did not significantly decrease peak IK density in PASMC of rats, P>0.05; At 0 mV, acute hypoxia significantly decreased the peak IK density in PASMC [from（38.1 ± 5.2） pA / pF decreased to（9.82 ± 2.1） pA / pF ,P<0.05], then along with RMP increase in PASMC, the decreasing amplitude of peak IK density in PASMC gradually increased（P<0.05）; From + 30 mV to+ 60 mV, the decreasing amplitude of peak IK density in PASMC further significantly increased（P<0.01）; At + 60 mV the peak IK density decreased from（38.1 ± 5.2） pA / pF to（9.82 ± 2.1） pA / pF , and the decreasing amplitude reached (46.8±3.3)%. Conclusion: Acute hypoxia can decrease Kv current in PASMC of rats, leading to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Objective To analyze premature ventricular contractions by dynamic electrocardiogram.Method 186 cases of premature ventricualr contractions were divided into two groups:patho-group(organic heart disease group) 106 cases,and the control group(non-organic heart disease group) 80 cases,both were examined by 24 hours dynamic electrocardiogram,the correlation between PVC shape and T-waves and the heart rate variation were analyzed.Result The variability of Lawn's degrees between the two groups was significant,the indexes of premature ventricualr contractions of patho-group were significantly different compared to the control group(P

Objective To compare the laryngeal mask insertion conditions at different plasma target concentrations (Cp) during the induction of anesthesia with target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol.Methods Forty-five ASA I - II patients of both sexes aged 18-60 yr, weighing 50-80 kg undergoing minor surgery in which the use of laryngeal mask (LM) was indicated were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 15) according to Cp of propofol set during induction of anesthesia: 4, 6 and 8 ?g ? ml-1 . The patients were premedicated with intramuscular scopolamine 0.3 mg. Fentanyl 3 ?g?kg-1 was given i.v. . TCI of propofol was started 3 min later with Diprifusor (Graseby 3500 infusion pump). LM was inserted when the effect-site concentration (EC) of propofol reached 2.5 ?g ? ml -1 as displayed on the infusion pump. LM insertion conditions (mouth opening, gagling, coughing, head and limb movement, overall ease of insertion) were assessed. The total dose of propofol, insertion time, the time needed to reach EC 2.5 ?g?ml-1 were recorded. SP, DP, HR and BIS value were recorded at 6 time points: baseline before induction (T1 ) , at the loss of consciousness (T2), at EC 2.5 ?g ? ml-1 (T3), immediately (T4), 3 min (T5) after insertion of LM. Results The SP, DP, HR and BIS value were decreasing with increasing depth of anesthesia in the 3 groups. The decrease in BP and BIS value after insertion of LM was significantly larger in group 3 (8 ?g ?ml-1) than in group 1 and 2 (P

Objective To study the treatment of abdominal compartment syndrome(ACS) secondary to fulminant acute pancreatitis (FAP).Method A retrospective study was conducted from Jan.2009 to Dec.2011 to analyze the therapeutic results of 18 patients with ACS secondary to FAP.Results Three out of 7 patients who received non-operative therapy died (mortality rate 42.9％).Three out of 11 patients treated with early surgery died (mortality rate 27.3％),which was significantly better than those patients treated conservatively.Conclusion A reduction in intra-abdominal pressure improved the function of the viscera in the treatment of ACS secondary to FAP.The decompressive effects of early surgery was efficacious,and it reduced the mortality rate.

Objective To evaluate the procedure and the therapeutic efficacy of duodenumpreserving pancreatic head resection (DPPHR) in treating benign lesions in the head of the pancreas.Methods From February 2003 to August 2011,DPPHR was performed in 21 patients with benign lesions in the head of the pancreas.Thirteen patients were male and eight were female.Age ranged from 30 to 48 years,and the lesions ranged from 2.0 cm to 5.6 cm in diameter.Posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery was conserved in all patients.Results There was no hospital death.Pancreatic fistula was the main and the most often morbidity,occurring in 33.3％.After operation all patients with preoperative abdominal pain were completely pain free.Preoperative hypoglycemia in 2 patients turned to eugycemia.There was no recurrences report during following up.Concl~ions DPPHR was safe and effective in treating benign lesion in the head of pancreas.It was important in preserving blood supply to the duodenum by posterior superior pancreaticoduodenal artery.

The expressions of estrogen receptor (ER) α,ERβ1,and ERβ2 in thyroid carcinoma,thyroid adenoma,and adjacent normal thyroid tissue were determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry,and the relationship of expression levels of three ERs and the main clinical pathologic parameters were evaluated.The result showed that ERα mRNA expression in papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) tissues was significantly higher than adjacent normal tissue,while,ERβ2 mRNA expression in PTC tissues was significantly lower than normal tissue ( P＜0.05 ).The positive expression of ERβ1 and ERβ2 in the thyroid carcinoma was related with the histological variant of carcinomas; the ERβ2 expressions were related with the lymph node metastasis and TNM staging of the carcinomas.These results suggest that the decreased ERβ2 expression may induce proliferation and carcinogenesis of thyroid follicular epithelial cells as well as progression of the carcinoma,and is a powerful prognostic indicator.

BACKGROUND:Hidden blood loss is one of most important complications after total knee arthroplasty, but the mechanism and influential factors are not yet clear. OBJECTIVE:To analyze the relative influential factors for hidden blood loss in primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:Data of 235 patients who had undergone primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty from April to September 2014 were retrospectively studied. There were 38 males and 197 females aged from 48 to 82 years old with a mean age of 66 years. The Gross formula was used to calculate the amount of hidden blood loss. The effects of gender, age, height, body weight, body mass index, anesthesia method, administration of tranexamic acid, postoperative anticoagulation method, typeof prosthesis, tourniquet time and pre-operative coagulation function on the postoperative hidden blood loss and total blood loss after total knee arthroplasty were analyzed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Significant differences in hidden blood loss and total blood loss after total knee arthroplasty were detected between male and female patients (P< 0.01). Significant differences in hidden blood loss and total blood loss were found between tranexamic acid and non-tranexamic acid groups (P< 0.05,P< 0.01).(2) Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that preoperative hemoglobin level and heightwere important factors influencing the blood loss after arthroplasty. Hidden blood loss and total blood loss were not correlated with age, body mass index, anesthesia method, postoperative anticoagulation method, type of prosthesis, tourniquet time and preoperative coagulation function. (3) Results indicate that gender and administration of tranexamic acid affect hidden blood loss and total blood loss after total knee arthroplasty. However, age, body mass index, anesthesia method, postoperative anticoagulation method, type of prosthesis, tourniquet time and preoperative coagulation function do not greatly affect hidden blood loss.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of continuous suture by QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision. Methods From January 2015 to October 2015, 66 patients with gall bladder calculi combined with common bile duct stones who received laparoscopic gallbladder excision, common bile duct explo-ration, laparoscopy choledochotomy, suture choledoch immediately were randomly divided into two groups, experi-mental group using QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision and control group using tradi-tional absorbable suture for closing choledoch incision. Then observe the operation time, the risk of bile leakage oc-curred in the operation and the risk of bile leakage after operation. Results All patients successfully completed in laparoscopic surgery without laparotomy. Operation time, the risk of bile leakage occurred during operation in exper-imental group has statistically significant difference compared with control group ( < 0.05). The operation time and incidence of intraoperative bile leakage of the experimental group was less and lower than control group, while the risk of bile leakage after operation show no statistically difference ( >0.05). Conclusion Compared with interrupted suture by normal sutures, continuous suture by QuillTM SRS self-retaining suture for closing choledoch incision has the characteristics of shorter operation time and lower incidence of intraoperative and postoperative bile leakage. It is worthy of promoting.
