Objective To explore the effect of remifentanil postconditioning on rats subjected to ischemia reperfusion injury and the relative mechanisms.Methods Seventy-eight Sprague-Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into six groups (n=13): sham group (group S), ischemia/reperfusion group (group IR), naloxone group (group NAL), 5 μg·kg-1·min-1 remifentanil postconditioning group (group R1), 10 μg·kg-1·min-1remifentanil postconditioning group (group R2) and 20 μg·kg-1·min-1remifentanil postconditioning group (group R3).Group IR was given 45 min ischemia in the left descending anterior (LAD), followed by a 24-h period of reperfusion.Groups R1, R2, R3 received 10 min of remifentanil infusion of 5, 10 and 20 μg·kg-1·min-1 after 35 min ischemia followed by a 24 h period of reperfusion.Group NAL was given injection of naloxone 0.1 mg/kg at the point of 25 min myocardial ischemia, after 10 min, then remifentanil 10 μg·kg-1·min-1 for 10 min.The myocardial infarct size and pathological changes of myocardial tissue were observed, serum cTnI, LDH and CK-MB level were measured.Results Compared with group S, serum cTnI, LDH and CK-MB and myocardial infarct size were markedly increased in groups IR, NAL, R1, R2 and R3 (P<0.05), and pathologic injury of myocardial cells were augmented.In comparison with group IR, the indexes were decreased in groups R1, R2 and R3 (P<0.05).Conclusion Remifentanil postconditioning could protect against myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.The protection may be related to remifentanil activating the opioid receptors.There were ceiling effects of remifentanil postconditioning induced myocardial protection.

Objective To investigate the level of five auto-antibodies including MCV and GPI in the serum of RA patients and assess the application value of five auto-antibodies in RA diagnosis.Methods The five auto-antibodies were detected by ELISA in serum samples of 150 patients with RA and 40 healthy controls,32 patients of SLE,30 patients of OA,20 patients of AS,20 patients of SS,20 patients of CTD.Results The positive rates of these five auto-antibodies in RA patients were significantly higher than in other group(X2=88.5,76.0,279.2,88.2,94.8,P＜0.05).Except anti-AKA,there was no the differences in the level of other antibodies among groups(X2=21.9,9.4,20.2,43.2,41.6,P＞0.05).Anti-MCV and anti-GPI has the highest sensitivity(78.0% and 83.3%),while anti-CCP has the highest specificity(97.1%)and anti-AKA has good specificity(96.1%)and lowest sensitivity(49.4%).When two antibodies were detected together,the sensitivity and specificity of MCV/CCP were highest(92.7% and 96.9%).When RF/GPI/CCP were detected together,the sensitivity and specificity were 90.7% and 96.9%,respectively.When RF/MCv/CCP were detected together,the sensitivity and specificity were 94.0% and 96.9%.Conclusions Anti-MCV and anti-GPI has the hishest sensitivity in laboratory diagnosis of RA,while anti-CCP has the highest specificity and anti-AKA have good specificity and lowest sensitivity.The combination detection can decrease the amount of missed diagnosis caused by single test. The combination detection of RF/GPI/CCP and RF/MCV/CCP will improve sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis to the RA patients.

Objective To evaluate the lung protection of remote limb ischemic preconditioning during one-lung ventilation (OLV) in the patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection.Methods Seventyone patients of both sexes,aged 30-64 yr,with body mass index of 15-28 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective esophageal cancer resection,were randomly divided into control group (group C,n =34) and remote limb ischemic preconditioning group (group RLIP,n =37) using a random number table.Patients in group RLIP received three cycles of 5-min ischemia/5-min reperfusion induced by a blood pressure cuff placed on one upper arm before OLV.Before OLV (T0),at 1 and 2 h of OLV (T1,2),at 20 min after re-expansion of the collapsed lung (T3),and at 2 h after operation (T4),blood samples were drawn from the radial artery for blood gas analysis,oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (A-aDO2) were calculated.At T0,T2,T3 and T4,blood samples were collected from the radial artery for determination of plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),and IL-10 concentrations.Results Compared with group C,PaO2/FiO2 was significantly increased,and A-aDO2was decreased at T1,2,the plasma TNF-α concentrations were decreased at T2-4 (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the plasma IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations and rate of abnormal pulmonary function at T1-4 in group RLIP (P＞O.05).Conclusion Although remote limb ischemic preconditioning can produce lung protection during OLV in the patients undergoing esophageal cancer resection,it provides no clinical significance.

We designed two pairs of primers and their corresponding TaqMan probes according to gH, gE gene of PRV. By optimizing the probe's concentration, Mg2+ concentration, primers concentration and sample DNA extraction, real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (FQ-PCR) which can quickly identity field virus and vaccine virus of PRV was established. According to our results, the dynamic range of the FQ-PCR assay is between 10 x 10(1) copies/microL and 10 x l0(8) copies/microL, and the detection limit of FQ-PCR is 1.0 x 10(1) copies/microL, which is 100 fold higher than that of conventional PCR. We detected 60 doubtful tissue samples using the FQ-PCR assay, serum neutralization and conventional PCR. In conclusion, the FQ-PCR method is rapid, sensitive, specific and accurate, and can be used to detect field strains of PRV rapidly. The closed-tube format of the assay minimized the risk of contamination of subsequent reaction and the assay can be performed in 2 h or less. Development of real-time quantitative PCR provides the basis for the early and rapid detection and analyzing quantitatively the infectious degree of PRV.
