Objective: To study the protective effect of ? carotene in anoxia injured cardiomyocytes. [WT5FZ]Methods: The cultured rat neonatal cardiomyocytes were subjected to 2h anoxia and the changes of lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) activity, malondialdehyde (MDA), oxygen free radical (OFR) contents and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were detected. The effects of pre treatment with ? carotene were then investigated. Results: The LDH, MDA, OFR and SOD of cardiomycytes were changed significantly after 2h anoxia (P

Objective To investigate the indications and clinical efficacy of an exclusive right-thoracic approach in esophageal surgery.Methods The clinical data of 35 patients with esophageal disease who underwent an exclusive right-thoracic approach operation from June 2008 to June 2010 at the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University were retrospectively analyzed.Of the 35 patients,21 were with esophageal cancer,and their ages were above 70 years,the partial pressure of oxygen of arterial blood (PaO2),maximal voluntary ventilation and forced vital capacity of the first second were (70 ± 9) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),51％ ± 9％ and 57％ ± 11％,respectively.Fourteen patients were with benign esophageal disease or low grade malignancy,and their PaO2 maximal voluntary ventilation and forced vital capacity of the first second were (96 ± 13) mm Hg,83％ ± 11％ and 91％± 14％,respectively.Exclusive right-thoracic approach was selected for all the patients,and surgical procedure was selected according to the location of the lesions.Patients were followed up by out-patient examination or phone call till April 2012.Results All the operations were carried out successfully,21 patients with esophageal cancer underwent partial esophagus resection and stomach-esophagus intrathoracic anastomosis through a right-thoracic approach.Of the 14 patients with benign esophageal disease or low grade malignancy,2 patients were with esophageal leiomyoma,3 with esophageal stromal tumor and 1 with esophageal leiomyomatosis underwent partial esophagus resection + intrathoracic anastomosis ; 7 patients with esophageal leiomyoma and 1 with esophageal stromal tumor underwent tumor extirpation.The operation time and operative blood loss were (3.4 ± 1.8)hours and (160 ± 44)ml,respectively.The number of lymph node dissected of the 21 patients with esophageal tumor was 14 ± 5,including 1.1 ± 0.7 lymph nodes dissected near the left gastric artery.No anastomosis fistula and perioperative death were detected,and the duration of hospital stay was (10 ± 4)days.The postoperative PaO2,maximal voluntary ventilation and forced vital capacity of the first second were (66 ± 10)mm Hg,50％± 11％ and 51％ ± 13％ for patients with esophageal cancer,and (94 ± 13) mm Hg,80％ ± 13％ and 87％ ± 16％ for patients with benign esophageal disease or low grade malignancy.All the patients were followed up for 1-2 years,no eating obstruction was detected,and the postoperative 1-and 2-year survival rate were 82.9％(29/35) and 77.1％ (27/35),respectively.Of the 8 patients with esophageal cancer who died postoperatively,1 died of cardiovascular diseases and 7 died of tumor recurrence and metastasis.Conclusion Exclusive rightthoracic appraoch could be used for patients with benign esophageal disease,low-grade malignancy and old esophageal cancer patients with poor pulmonary function.

Objective To study the effect of continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT) in preventing myonephropathic metabolic syndrome(MNMS) after operation of acute arterial occlusion. Methods Twenty-four patients with acute arterial occlusion were divided randomly into 2 groups: CRRT group(n=11) and control group(n=13).The patients were treated with embolectomy or revascularization.In control group,we used conventional therapy such as anti-inflammation,expansion of blood capacity,anticoagulation,and correcting acidosis and electrolyte disorder.In CRRT group,patients were treated by continuous veno-venous hemofiltration(CVVH) with 6 h during operation and 24 h after operation. Results In control group,24 h after operation,the serum potassium,blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(SCr),and myoglobin(Mb) were significantly increased(P

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the processing technology of honey-fried Polygonum perfoliatum. METHODS:The pro-cessing method of honey-fried P. perfoliatum was optimized by L9(34)orthogonal test with the contents of effective component quer-cetin and water-soluble extract as comprehensive evaluation index,with the amount of honey,moistening time,baking temperature and baking time as investigating factors. RESULTS:The optimal processing technology was as follows as 30% honey,moistening for 120 min,baking for 50 min at 70 ℃. In verification test,the content of quercetin in 3 batches of honey-fried P. perfoliatum was higher than 0.05%,and the content of water-soluble extract was higher than 25%(RSD<2.5%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized processing technology is stable and practical,and can provide reference for standardizing the processing technology and quality control of honey-fried P. perfoliatum.

Objective To understand the clinical features and current therapies on asthma exacerbation,so as to provide practical evidence for managing asthma episodes. Methods Two hundred and fourteen school - age(≥6 years old)cases who were admitted for asthma exacerbation in Beijing Children's Hospital,from January 2005 to De-cember 2013,were enrolled. All the cases were categorized into 2 groups:asthma with pneumonia group(group A,n =88)and asthma group(group B,n = 126). Results There were 214 cases enrolled,the median age was 9(6 - 18) years old,and the male - female ratio was 1. 5: 1. 0,78. 0%(167 / 214 cases)of the patients enrolled had moderate asthma exacerbation,and 22. 0%(47 / 214 cases)were defined as severe episodes,7. 0%(15 / 214 cases)were on me-chanical ventilation. Compared with group B,group A had more systemic corticosteroids use(53. 4% vs 38. 9% ,χ2 =4. 416,P = 0. 036),higher proportion of cases needing mechanical ventilation(12. 5% vs 3. 3% ,χ2 = 5. 476,P =0. 019),longer durations in hospital(9. 0 d vs 8. 0 d,Z = - 3. 063,P = 0. 002),and higher hospitalization expenses (10 000 yuan vs 9 000 yuan,Z = - 2. 058,P = 0. 000). The prescription of Aminophylline didn't help to shorten the duration of wheeze days(5. 7 d vs 5. 9 d,t = - 0. 233,P = 0. 817). Twenty - four cases received bronchial lavage through bronchoscope during wheezing days,in which 22 cases(91. 7% )of wheezing disappeared within 3 days after the lavage. There were more sensitized allergens detected in those patients who showed hypersecretion status under bronchos-copy(3. 3 ±1. 4 vs 2. 2 ±1. 2,t =2. 190,P =0. 036),compared with those without such signs. Conclusions Pneumonia may increase the demand for systemic use of corticosteroids in asthma exacerbations. The early use of systemic corticoste-roids may have an effect on reducing the severity of asthma attack,especially those with pneumonia. Multi - sensitization may contribute to the hypersecretion in bronchi. The bronchial lavage may help improve the bronchial ventilation caused by mucous plugin. The clinical usage of Aminophylline is still controversial,and it needs to be optimized.

Objective To systematically the efficacy of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) conbined with percutaneous microwave coagulation therapy (PMCT) in treatment of advanced liver cancer.Methods A search was performed by retrieving the domestic and foreign literature database,including WanFang Data,VIP,CNKI,PubMed,Cochrane Library,CBM,EMBASE,Medline,between January 2005 and May 2015.These documents were about the analysis of the efficacy of TACE combined with PMCT in treatment of advanced liver cancer,including complete response(CR),partial response(PR),total effective rate,the levels of AFP declining,1,2,and 3 year survival rate and all the trials must be randomized controlled trials.Meta-analyses were conducted using the Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.2 software.Results Fourteen documents were retrieved,including 989 patients,conbined treatment group 470 patients,simple treatment group 519 patients.The results of Mete-analysis shows that the total effective rate of TACE combined with PMCT is higher than TACE alone in treatment of advanced liver cancer.AFP declining ＞ 50％ of TACE combined with PMCT more obvious than TACE alone.1,2,and 3 year survival rate of TACE combincd with PMCT higher than TACE alone.These differences were statistically significant.Conclusion TACE combined with PMCT might be more effective than TACE alone in treatment of advanced liver cancer.

Objective To discuss the treatment and prognosis of multifocal osteosarcoma. Methods Between January 1998 and June 2005, nine patients(seven males and two females), six with synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma and three with metachronous multifocal osteosarcoma were treated in our department. The diagnosis of multifocal osteosarcoma was confirmed by clinical presentation, radiology and pathology. Eight of the nine patients received chemotherapy with adriamycin(60 mg/m2), cisplatinum(100 mg/m2), high-dose methotrexate(8-12 g/m2), vincristine(1.4 mg/m2), ifosfamide(12.5 g/m2), and G-CSF. Based on the response to primary chemotherapy, further chemotherapy plans were made, and different operations were done to control local lesions or to relieve symptoms. Arsenous acid, paclitaxel and VP-16 were used in patients who responded poorly to primary chemotherapy. Results One patient who given up remedy was died in systematic fail due to the cancer after 5 month, five patients who were diagnosed synchronous multifocal osteosarcoma died from progressive disease in 3.5 to 17 months (mean time was 9.8 months). Only two of them had a good response to chemotherapy and had finished at least four cycles of chemotherapy,and they had a better survival time of 15 and 17 months respectively. Three patients with metachronous multifocal osteosarcoma had a better prognosis. After a two-year follow-up, two lived with disease and one lived without disease. Conclusion The prognosis of patients with multifocal osteosarcoma is poor, and patients with metachronous multifocal osteosarcoma have a relatively better prognosis. To improve the prognosis of patients with multifocal osteosarcoma, aggressive chemother-apeutics are needed.
