This study was performed for the output of nitrous oxide (N_2O) after N_2O cessation. The breathing bag with the volume of 3000 ml served as the simulator lung,and 5 patients, ASA grade Ⅰ,aged 18-48 years scheduled for elective surgery,acted as the clinical subiects. After the equilibration of end-expiratory N_2O concentration of 50% was developed,the N_2O administration was cut off,then was expelled with oxygen flow rate at 3L/min or 6L/min. The inspiration-expiration N_2O concentration difference of simulator or patient lung (SC_(I-E) N_2O or PC_(I-E) N_2O)was recorded with an infra-red gas analyser. The N_2O dilution induced by the anesthesia circuit volume and the functional residual capacity, was similar to that by simulator lung,so the clinical output of N_2O in one minute was calculated as followed: N_2O output=(PC_(I-E) N_2O-SC_(I-E) N_2O)?minute volume of ventilation. The results showed that in the first minute after N_2O termination,there was no N_2O output,but from the second to the tenth minute the N_2O output increased gradually and was kept at the high level,additionally,the levels of N_2O output at the oxygen flow rate of 6L/min were higher than those at 3L/min in the corresponding times, respectively. It is suggested that following the withdrawal of 1:1 N_2O-O_2 anesthesia ,the N_2O output is related to the oxygen flow rate,and there is not the occurance of diffusion hypoxia.

Objective To evaluate the value of computed tomography(CT) and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) in diagnosis of avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH). Methods The literatures of ANFH diagnosed with CT and MR imaging published in the last ten years were collected by searching. Of that,21 literatures were correspond for the standards in this study and were select-ed. These literatures in diagnosing ANFH with CT and MR imaging were analysed with Meta-analysis by the sofeware of StataSE10.1. Results MRI was more effective than CT in diagnosing ANFH. There was significantly different in statistics between them [OR=0.13,95%CI(0.03～0.51)]. Conclusion In comparison with CT,MRI is the better method in diagnosing ANFH.

Objective To evaluate the application and risk of hematogenous tumor dissemination of intraoperative autologous blood salvage on radical nephrectomy for renal carcinoma with inferior vena cava tumor thrombus.Methods Between July 1999 and October 2005,19 patients with renal cell carcinoma invading inferior vena cava were used by the intraoperative autologous blood salvage.Preoperative and postoperative clinical data were analyzed and compared.The blood sparing effect and follow-up were evaluated.Results The intraoperative autologous blood salvage of all cases was successful.The levels of HCT,Hb and RBC on the 1st and 7th postoperative day were significantly lower than preoperative day.Although the level of PLT decreased on the 1st postoperative day,it recovered on the 7th day.The markers of liver and renal function did not change during treat time.Packed red blood cells were collected during surgery with a mean value of 1 765 ml(300～6 000 ml) per patient.The average amount of allogenic transfusion per patient was 2 247ml(0～8000 ml).The perioperative mortality rate was 10.5%(2/19).The postoperative metastasis rate was 35.3%(6/17).No difference was found in the prognosis between two groups.Conclusion The intraoperative autologous blood salvage does not markedly change the clinic test data and not increase the recurrence and metastasis of renal cell carcinoma.

Objective To observe the preventive effect of salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate aerosol on radiation pneumonia in patients with local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after radiotherapy.Methods Sixty-four patients with local advanced NSCLC were randomly divided into the study group and the control group.Both groups were treated with intensity modulated radiation therapy treatment and routine interventions.Salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate aerosol were given to the study group from the first day of radiation therapy at both the morning and evening time.Clinical symptoms,chest CT,Karnofsky score and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) levels in the two groups were analyzed at the time before radiotherapy and three months after radiotherapy.Results The radiation pneumonia incidence of the study group was lower than that of the control group [21.9 ％(7/32) vs 46.9 ％(15/32)].The plasma TNF-α content after radiotherapy of the study group was lower than that of the control group [(9.18±3.45) ng/ml vs (13.38 ± 2.75) ng/ml].Moreover,the Karnofsky score of the study group was higher than that of the control group [(81.67 ± 7.18) scores vs (75.00+ 6.74) scores].The differences between the two groups were statistically significant (all P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Salmeterol xinafoate and fluticasone propionate aerosol can reduce the radiation incidence of the patients with local advanced NSCLC,improve patients' quality of life after radiotherapy and prevent the radiation pneumonia.

BACKGROUND: In the field of intervertebral disc tissue engineering, seed cells primarily consist of nucleus pulposus cells (NPCs) and mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). NPCs have been known to have several shortcomings: limited source, inconvenient collection, poor proliferative capacity, and difficult in vitro culture.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the proliferation of MSCs after co-culture with NPCs in alginate beads-simulated three-dimensional environment.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A cell observation was performed at the Laboratory of Orthopedics, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between December 2007 and October 2008.MATERIALS: Six healthy New Zealand rabbits of 4 months old were provided by the Laboratory Animal Center, Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology and were used for the present study.METHODS: Rabbit MSCs were isolated and purified using density gradient centrifugation and adherence methods. Rabbit NPCs were isolated and purified using collagenase Ⅱ digestion and adherence methods. Following liposome-mediated green fluorescent protein tranfection and G418 screening, MSCs of passage 3 were cultured either alone (control group) or with NPCs at a ratio of 1:1 (co-culture group) in alginate beads. After 14 days of culture, alginate beads were dissolved and MSCs were collected by flow cytometry sorting.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The expression of collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan in MSCs was detected by RT-PCR and Western blot techniques.RESULTS: mRNA and protein expression of collagen Ⅱ and aggrecan was observed in the co-culture group, but not in the control group, after 14 days of culture.CONCLUSION: MSC differentiation towards nucleus pulposus-like cells can be induced by co-culture with NPCs in a three-dimensional environment.

Objective To investigate the clinical biomarkers of acute lung injury(ALI) after the Stanford A aortic dissection.Methods Thirty patients underwent Stanford A aoatic dissection were selected as subjects,who hospitalized from January 2006 to March 2013.Of which,21 patients underwent total arch replacement with stented elephant trunk procedure and 9 patients underwent triple-branched stent graft placement.The general information of patients,preoperation echocardiogram data,and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and fraction of inspired oxygen(FiO2) were recorded before,after the operation and entering ICU.Alveolar-arterial oxygen difference (A-aDO2),oxygenation index (OI) were calculated.Results A-aDO2 and OI at preoperation,postoperative and entering ICU point were (112.47 ±41.06) mmHg,(136.13 ± 29.51) mmHg and (141.37 ± 25.94) mmHg; (535.23 ± 70.15) mmHg; (491.50 ± 73.12) mmHg and (387.33 ± 91.32) mmHg respectively,and the differences were significant (F=35.926,323.742;P =0.000).The levels of A-aDO2 and OI at entering ICU were significant different from that of pre-operation and post-operation (P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Early postoperative oxygenation and switching functions of patients with Stanford A aortic dissection are subject to damage to some degree.The A-aDO2 and OI might be sensitive biomarkers of the diagnosis for early acute lung injury of aortic dissection patients.
