AIM To study the protective effects of prostaglandin E 1 on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury in cultured neonatal rat myocytes. METHODS The hypoxia/reoxygenation injury model of cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells was developed. The activities of plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured by the method of xanthine oxidase and the contents of serum malonicaldehyde (MDA) were determined by the method of thiobarbituric acid. The activities of dehydrogenase in mitochondria were detected by MTT assay. The activities of LDH in culture were also evaluated. CONCLUSION PGE 1 has protective effects on the cultured neonatal rat myocardial cells injured by hypoxia/reoxygenation. The mechanisms are related to its antioxidation effects.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between lactate,lactate clearance rate and prognosis of children with septic shock.Methods A total of 42 children with septic shock admitted in the PICU from Oct 2009 to Jun 2011 were enrolled in the study.All the children were given goal-directed therapy early according to the treatment routine of septic shock.The blood lactate levels before resuscitation and at 1h,2h,6 h after resuscitation were detected,the lactate clearance rates at 1 h,2 h,6 h after resuscitation were calculated.All the patients were divided into the survival group ( n =20 ) and the non-survival group ( n =22 ) by prognosis.The relationship between the early lactate level,lactate clearance rate and prognosis of the children with septic shock was evaluated.Results ( 1 ) The lactate levels before resuscitation and at 1 h,2 h,6 h after resuscitation in the survival group were significantly lower than those in the non-survival group [ (3.92 ± 2.58) mmol/L vs (6.91 ± 4.16) mmol/L,( 2.79 ± 1.89 ) mmol/L vs ( 7.93 ± 4.39 ) mmol/L,( 2.20 ±1.83) mmol/L vs (9.20 ±4.97) mmol/L,( 1.32 ±0.51 ) mmol/L vs (9.94 ±5.02) mmol/L,P ＜0.05].(2) The lactate clearance rates at 1 h,2 h,6 h after resuscitation in the survival group were significantly higher than those in the non-survival group [ (26.31 ± 20.82) ％ vs ( - 24.28 ± 53.39 ) ％,(43.46 ± 17.85 ) ％ vs (-34.31±58.98)％,(61.04±16.71)％ vs ( -45.33 ±83.51)％,P＜0.05].(3) The area under curve of the lactate and the lactate clearance rate at 6 h after resuscitation were 99.4％ and 96.7％ according to the receiver operating characteristic curve.The children had high mortality if the lactate value ＞ 2.20 mmol/L and lactate clearance rate ＜ 18.65％ at 6 h after resuscitation.Conclusion It is important to dynamicly monitor the lactate of the children with septic shock,the lactate and the lactate clearance rate at 6 h after resuscitation can be used to evaluate the prognosis.

Objective To observe the results and reality of transurethral resection of bladder tumor(TUR-Bt) with upside down loop and plsamakinetic in the prevention of obturator nerve reflex.Methods A total of 211 patients with lumbar anesthesia received TUR-Bt.Firstly,the tumor tower above bladder wall was cut with the traditional way.When intraoperative findings were obturator nerve reflex,or to the obturator nerve mapping area,operation should be changed to superimpulse plasma column electrode vaporization to cut off residual tumor tissue,then after flipping the loop,the residual tumour was resected with upside-down loop from the tumour side wall.Results In 211 cases,192 cases had a little obturator nerve reflex,but the movement of body was not obvious,which did not influence the operation.The serious complication,such as perforation of bladder and injury of nerve and vessel,did not occur.Conclusions The lateral resection of bladder side wall tumour with upside-down loop can effectively avoid strong obturator nerve reflex,which is safe,uncomplicated,and efficacious and it does not increase the additional outlay and hurt.

Objective To find out the brain function characters of visual information integration and visual working memory with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) children. Methods 1∶ 1 case-control study was used on the study. 45 ADHD children who met DSM-IV criteria were recruited as case group,45 normal children from primary school were chosen as control group. Two groups children received the test of contour-integration,positional noise, temporal order memory, pattern memory. Results The ADHD double eyes' contour integration ( ( 1.62 ± 0. 81 ), ( 1.69 ± 0.87 ) ) were significantly lower than the control group' ( (2.02 ± 1.10), ( 1.98 ±0.81 )). There was no significant difference of double eyes' positional noise between case group( (1.98 ±0.89 ), ( 2.20 ± 1.10 ) ) and the control group ( ( 2.20 ± 0. 97 ), ( 2.30 ± 0. 83 ) ). The temporal order memory,pattern memory ( ( 1.89 ± 1.30), ( 1.18 ± 0.44) ) showed significantly lower in case group(P＜ 0.05 ) than that in control group ( ( 2.98 ± 1.25 ), ( 1. 44 ± 0. 66) ). Conclusion Results indicate that children with ADHD have deficiency in visual perception and the ability of visual information integration, and have significantly deficiency in visual working memory and executive-function.

Objective:To investigate the association between glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1) gene polymorphism and toxici-ties related to high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods:GSTP1 genotypes and allelic frequencies in 51 children with ALL were determined by Nest PCR, denaturing gel gradient electrophoresis (DGGE), and DNA sequencing. HD-MTX adverse reactions were analyzed using the National Cancer Institute Common Toxicity Criteria (NCICTC). Results:We identified three SNPs of GSTP1, including rs1695 (A313G), rs1138272 (G439T), and rs4891 (T555C). The wild types, het-erozygous types, and homozygous types of GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 polymorphisms were detected in 32 cases (62.7%), 16 cases (31.4%), and 3 cases (5.9%), respectively. GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 polymorphisms included only one heterozygous type and one homozygous type. The allele frequencies of the three SNPs were 21.6%, 2.9%, and 21.6%. The AG+GG/TC+CC genotype of GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 was associated with decrease in the odds of peripheral hemoglobin (OR=0.25, 95%CI=0.06-1.00, P=0.049). The AG+GG/TC+CC genotype of GSTP1 rs1695/rs4891 in standard and intermediate-risk ALL children was significantly correlated with higher odds of gastrointesti-nal toxicity (OR=0.125, 95%CI=0.02-0.78, P=0.026). Conclusion:GSTP1 rs1695 (A313G)/rs4891 (T555C) gene polymorphism is as-sociated with the reduction of peripheral hemoglobin in ALL children and with the odds of gastrointestinal toxicity in standard and inter-mediate-risk ALL children who receive high-dose methotrexate.

Objective To study the changes of portal vein pressure before and after interventional embolization with α-cyanoacrylate alkyl and their clinical significance. Methods Thirty five patients with esophageal-gastric variceal bleeding were included. Esophageal-gastric fundal varices were embolized with e-cyanoacrylate alkyl in 35 patients, and 10 of them were treated with combination of partial splenic emblization. Portal pressure was measured directly before and after interventional embolization. The patients were followed up for 3-18 months. The changes of the liver functions and complications after the embolization were observed. Results All bleeding were controlled successfully. The main portal pressure in those who received variceal embolization only increased significantly from (32.54±5.23) cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0. 098 kPa) to (37.45±5. 11) cm H2O; superior mesenteric vein pressure increased from (31.46±4.35) cmH2O to (34.33±4.68)cm H2O; and the level of serum albumin raised from (30.45±5.78) g/L to (34.57±6.84) g/L 3 weeks after embolization. Whereas the main portal pressure in those who received both variceal and partial splenic embolizations, decreased significantly from (32. 68±4. 89) cm H2O to (28. 70±4. 58) cm H2O; superior mesenteric vein pressure decreased from (31.46±4.35) cm H2O to (28.03±4.12) cm H2O; and splenic vein pressure decreased from (32.89±4.79) cm H2O to (28.81±5. 12) cm H2O.Conclusions Esophageal-gastric variceal embolization is effective for varieeal bleeding. The increase of main portal pressure after embolization may be benefit for liver function, while the rise of superior mesenteric vein pressure may increase the risk of portal hypertensive gastrointestinal re-bleeding.Esophageal-gastric variceal embolization combined with partial splenic embolization may reduce the incidence of portal hypertension and gastrointestinal re-bleeding, but will increase the risk of ascites.

Objective To explore the basic biological characteristics of lncRNA -uc.1 67,and its spatial dis-tribution,temporal expression pattern during the mouse embryonic development.Methods The UCSC genome browser of ENCODE was used to analyze preliminary bioinformatics of lncRNAs.Real -time (RT)-PCR was applied to detect the expression of uc.1 67 and neighboring genes in the embryonic mouse heart in different stages (P7.5,P1 1 .5,P1 4.5, P1 8.5).Dimethyl sulphoxide was used to induce P1 9 cell differentiation into the cardiomyocytes.RT -PCR was applied to detect the expression changes in uc.1 67 and neighboring genes on differential day 0,4,6,8 and 1 0.Results Full -length of human uc.167 was 201 bp,and human uc.167 was located in the genome 5q14.3 (chr5:88179623 -881 79824,GRCh37 /hg1 9).uc.1 67 mainly expressed in the ventricular muscle tissue.The expression of uc.1 67 was gradually decreased in the mouse embryonic heart development process(P7.5:1 .000 ±0.1 00,P1 1 .5:0.71 4 ±0.1 07, P1 4.5:0.393 ±0.043,P1 8.5:0.1 25 ±0.01 3),while the expression of its neighboring Mef2c gene was gradually in-creased(P7.5:1 .081 ±0.1 1 8,P1 1 .5:2.340 ±0.351 ,P1 4.5:3.958 ±0.542,P1 8.5:9.361 ±0.722),which showed an opposite trend.The expression of uc.1 67 during P1 9 cell differentiation into cardiomyocytes showed a an increase at first and then a decreasepattern,and the highest level expression of uc.1 67 was on differential day 4(d0:1 .071 ± 0.1 1 7,d4:4.71 4 ±0.501 ,d6:3.572 ±0.41 4,d8:2.550 ±0.31 4,d1 0:0.786 ±0.085).The expression of neigh-boring gene Mef2c was in an opposite trend(d0:1 .01 2 ±0.041 ,d4:0.353 ±0.037,d6:2.470 ±0.329,d8:6.706 ± 0.682,d1 0:7.765 ±0.705).Conclusions It is suggested that uc.1 67 may take part in the process of embryonic heart development and may play a role through negatively regulating its neighboring gene Mef2c.

Objective To investigate the effects of dextran sulfate on lung ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation in rats.Method A total of 32 male Wistar rats were subjected to unilateral left lung orthotopic transplantation.They were randomly divided two groups (n =16 each):DXS group [DXS (10 mg/kg) was given prior to the reperfusion],and the control group (the same volume of normal saline was given).After animals were sacrificed,the lung graft was harvested 2 h after reperfusion.Oxygenation indexes,wet/dry ratio (W/D),myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA) and endothelin 1 (ET-1) in the transplanted lung,and tumor necrosis factor a (TNF-α) and interleukin 8 (IL-8) in serum were measured.The lung injury scores were evaluated and complement deposition was observed.Result After 2-h reperfusion,compared to the control group,oxygenation indexes were improved significantly in DXS group (P＜0.05),but there were no significant differences in W/D between two groups.In DXS group,the activity of MPO was significantly reduced,and the contents of MDA and ET-1 in the lung tissue were significantly reduced as compared with the control group.DXS reduced the level of TNF-α and IL-8 markedly in serum (P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in lung injury score between two groups (4.53 ± 0.46 vs.5.28 ±0.49,P＞0.05).Compared to the control group,DXS reduced the deposition of C3c (0.8 ±0.2vs1.5±0.3) andC6 (1.2±0.4vs.2.4±0.5) (P＜0.05).Conclusion Administration of DXS attenuated ischemia-reperfusion injury after lung transplantation by inhibiting complement deposition,and improved the oxygenation of the transplanted lung.This protection was associated with inhibition of inflammation and oxidation and endothelial cytoprotection.

Objective This research aimed to investigate the function mechanism of lung injury after acute pulmonary embolism.Methods 30 healthy New Zealand rabbits were selected and randomly divided into five groups:control group (with venepuncture applied) and model groups including none-saline (NS) control group,exogenos laptin low doses group,medium dose group and high dose group.ELISA was applied to examine the TNF-αand IL-1β in serum.Results TNF-α and IL-1β content in saline group were higher than that in control group,and the results were statistically significant.In medium dose (50 μg/kg) group,TNF-α and IL-1β levels decreased apparently and the results were statistically significant.In low doses (20 μg/kg) group,TNF-α and IL-1β levels decreased,but the results were not statistically significant.In high dose (100 μg/kg) group,TNF-α and IL-1β levels increased on the contrary.Conclusion Suitable dose of leptin will lead the decrease of postoperative levels of TNF-α and IL-1β after acute pulmonary embolism,which thus have protection function to the injured lung.
