Objective To compare the difference between intermittent epidural bolus(IEB) combined with patient controlled epidural analgesia(PCEA)and continuous epidural infusion(CEI)combined with PCEA mode in labor analgesia. Methods It was a retrospective cohort study ,which subjects were assigned to CEI+PCEA and IEB + PCEA group. Correlated data were collected to compare the effect of the two analgesic mode on perinatal events. Results There were less consumption of ropivacaine and sufentanil per hour ,less PCEA request and actual bolus in IEB + PCEA group. There were no significant difference between the delivery mode and the percentage of low Apgar score in neonates. Conclusion IEB+PCEA mode has better analgesic effect ,meanwhile doesn't disturb the delivery mode has no effect on the neonate outcome.

Objective To investigate the effect of the different phases of menstrual cycle on the incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting (PONV)after laparoscopic gynecological surger-ies.Methods A total of 228 women undergoing laparoscopic gynecological surgeries were enrolled from Mar 2016 to Feb 2017 in our hospital.They were classified into three groups according to the different phases of menstrual cycle at the time of surgeries:group follicular phase (n =98),group o-vulatory phase (n =79),and group luteal phase (n =59).The incidence of PONV and the use of res-cue antiemetic drugs were recorded within 0-2 h,0-24 h periods after surgeries.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was applied to identify independent risk factors of PONV.Results The incidence of 0-2 h PONV and 0-24 h PONV were 23.2% (53/228)and 54.8% (125/228)respectively.Univa-riate analysis showed that the incidence of PONV in the different phases of menstrual cycle was not statistically significant,as well as 0-24 h.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of 0-2 h PONV in group luteal phase might be higher than that in group follicular phase,however, the difference was not statistically significant (OR =2.289,95%CI 0.979-5.355,P =0.056).And two independent risk factors of 0-2 h PONV were identified:duration of operation > 1 h (OR =3.176,95% CI 1.567-6.436,P = 0.001 )and history of PONV (OR = 5.711,95% CI 1.710-19.080,P =0.005).Three independent risk factors of 0-24 h PONV were identified:duration of op-eration>1 h (OR = 2.714,95%CI 1.525-4.829,P = 0.001 ),postoperative PCA (OR = 2.717, 95%CI 1.233-5.986,P = 0.013 )and application of metronidazole (OR = 3.926,95%CI 1.808-8.527,P =0.001).Conclusion There was no significant effect of different phases of menstrual cycle on the incidence of nausea and vomiting after gynecologic laparoscopic surgeries.

The occurrence rate of DTC in children and adolescents is not high.However,DTC in these patients has some distinct characteristics different from those in adult,such as larger tumor volume at diagnosis,early invasion of neck lymph nodes and early distant metastases,high NIS expression,high recurrence but higher overall survival rate.131 I ablation is still one of the important treatment methods after surgery.Currently,there are 3 major dosage regimens adopted for 131I treatment: prescribed dose without causing bone marrow suppression/toxicity,dose aiming at tumor ablation,and empirically fixed dose.

Background The rat model of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced photoreceptor cell apoptosis is often used to study retinal degeneration.But the changes in the gene expression patterm in retinal degeneration in rats have not been reported.Objective This study was undertaken to investigate regulation of gene expression in the retina of MNU-induced retinal degeneration in rats by performing microarray analysis of retinal RNA.Methods Fifty 6-week-old SD rats were numbered and randomized into the normal group and the model group.The retinal degeneration model was established by a single hypodermic injection of 40 mg/kg of MNU,and the rats in the normal group received equivalent volume of physiological saline in the same way.The rats were sacrificed 12 hours or 24 hours after injection.Retinal sections from the right eyes were prepared for the measurement of the retinal thickness by histopathological examination,and retinas from the left eyes were used to confirm the differential gene expression as detected by microarray (normal group and 12 hours model group).Genes exhibiting changes in expression by ≥2.0 folds were further confirmed using real-time PCR.Results The whole thickness of the retina declined in the rats from the 24 hours model group compared to the normal group and 12 hours model group (t =9.926,P=0.002;t=2.736,P=0.028).The thickness of the outer nuclear layer was (26.58±2.90) μm in the 24 hours model group,showing a significant decrease in comparison with (38.11 ± 1.01) μm in the normal group and (35.07t3.03) μm in the 12 hours model group (t=6.028,P=0.009;t=6.839,P=0.006).However,there was no significant difference in retinal thickness between the normal group and the 12 hours model group (whole thickness:t=1.541,P=0.324;outer nuclear layer thickness:t=2.040,P=0.134).Microarray analysis of the rat genes showed that out of 17 000 genes,142 genes involved in biological process and 94 genes involved in molecular functions were differentially expressed,where most of them participate in the mitogen activated protein kinase signaling pathway,Tolllike receptor signaling pathway and apoptosis pathway.Real-time PCR analysis demonstrated that the expression of CCL2,IL-1b,CCL3,c-fos,c-myc,p53 and MMP3 were consistently up-regulated,conforming with the results from microarray analysis.Conclusions The changes in gene expression pattern appear in the early stage of MNUinduced retinal degeneration.These microarray results provided clues to understanding the molecular pathways underlying photoreceptor degeneration and indicating the directions for future studies.

BACKGROUND: The core of bone tissue engineering is to construct a scaffold that is similar to human bone tissue structure and features.OBJECTIVE: To compare pathochemical and mechanical characteristics between pig and human bone scaffold materials.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Contrast study was performed at Clinical Anatomy Institute, South Medical University; Guangdong Province Key Laboratory of Tissue Construction and Detection from March to December 2006.MATERIALS: Four fresh health adult human cadavers were provided by South Medical University, Guangzhou Red Cross Society, and the relatives knew the fact. Ultra low temperature freezing 6-month iliac bones of 6 adult swines were also used in this study.METHODS: Pig iliac and healthy adults iliac bones were obtained to remove soft tissue, curettage periosteum and bone marrow. Bone sawing machine was used to cut cancellous bone into smaller bone sections around 5 mm×5 mm×40 mm, which underwent ultrasonic cleaning, H2O2 and alcohol soaking, freeze drying and radiation treatment; finally, xenogeneic bone scaffold and allogeneic bone scaffold were obtained.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Xenogeneic bone scaffold material and human allograft bone scaffold were observed with scanning electron microscopy to compare porosity, contents of protein content, calcium and phosphorus, and mechanical properties.RESULTS: Xenogeneic bone scaffold and allogeneic bone scaffold both had intrinsical bone trabecula, trabecular spaces and bone cavity system. Both of them had unabridged natural three dimensional network structure. The 3D supporting frames of them were complete. The xenogeneic bone scaffold had more spaces than allogeneic bone scaffold. The size of both scaffolds was approximation, about 400 μm. The interval porosity of xenogeneic bone scaffold was higher than the allogeneic bone scaffold (P<0.05). And the protein of xenogeneic bone scaffold was not as many as it of allogeneic bone scaffold (P<0.05). The contents of Ca and P were similar (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in Young's modulus of xenogeneic bone scaffold and allogeneic bone scaffold (P>0.05).CONCLUSION: Xenogeneic bone scaffold may completely meet the clinical demands for bone grafting or be the scaffold of bone tissue engineering in mechanical chemical properties.
