Objective To investigate the effect of oral rehydration on hemedynamies and mierocirculatory perfusion in dogs with fatal hemorrhagic shock.Methods Twenty male Beagle dogs 16-20 months old weighing 8-12 ks were subjected to a loss of 40% of the total blood volume,then divided into 3 groups:no rehydration group (group NR,n=8),oral rehydration group(group OR,n=6)and intravenous rehydration group(group IR,n=6).Group NR received no treatment within 24 h after blood-letting.Group IR and OR were given glucose-electrolyte solution (GES) either by gastric tube or by intravenous infusion 3 times volume of the blood loss immediately after the establishment of the model.Then the lactated Ringer's solution,glucose saline and compound amino acid(2 times volume of the blood loss)were started to be given to supplement the physiological consumption from 24 h after blood-letting in each group.The MAP,cardiac index(CI),systemic vascular resistance (SVR),dp/dtmax,and intestinal mucoflal blood flow (IMBF) were determined before blood-letting(T0,baseline) and 2 h (T1),4 h(T2),8 h(T3),24 h(T4),48 h(T5) and 72 h(T6)after blood-letting.The fatality rate within 72 h after blood-letting and urinary output were calculated.Results The fatality rates were 63%,33%and O in group NR, OR and IR respectively, which showed significant difference between the groups (P < 0.05).Compared with the baseline values at To, MAP, CI and dp/dtmax were significantly decreased at T1-6, in group NR,at T1-5 in group OR and at T1-4 in group IR, and SVR was significantly increased, while IMBF decreased at each time point after blood-letting in the three groups ( P <0.05), but no significant change was found in MAP, CI and dp/dtmax at T6 in group IR and OR (P>0.05). MAP, CI, dp/dtmax , IMBF and urinary output were significantly higher, while SVR was significantly lower in group OR and IR than in group NR ( P < 0.05). MAP, CI,dp/dtmax, IMBF and urinary output were signiflcandy lower, while SVR was significantly higher in group OR than in group IR ( P < 0. 05). Conclusion Oral administration of GES 3 times volume of the blood loss within 24 h after fatal hemorrhagic shock can obviously improve the hemodynamics and microcirculatory perfusion, then improve the survival state and have obvious resuscitation efficacy.

Objective To analyze the genotype of varicella-zoster virus (VZV) strains isolated from patients with chickenpox or zoster and to differentiate them from Oka vaccine strain by molecular analysis. Methods In the present study, single nucleotide polymorphisms(SNP) based VZV genotypes were analyzed in 19 VZV isolates using the polymerase chain reaction and restriction fragment length polymorphisms analysis of DNA fragments of the open reading frames 38, 54, 62, and the 1t5 repeat region. Results The genotypes of 19 VZV isolates including two different groups with 52.7% of Pst Ⅰ+ Bgl Ⅰ+ R5A and 47.3% of Pst Ⅰ+ Bgl Ⅰ+ R5B, which is very different from those found in North America, Europe and Japan. All the Chinese isolates are wild-type strains with ORF62 Sma Ⅰ-. No Oka vaccine strains were revealed among the isolates. Conclusion Chinese VZV strains reported in this study showed different molecular characteristics from those circulating in Europe, North America and Japan. The SNPs in ORF62 and ORF38 may be used to distinguish VZV wild-type strains and vaccine strain in clinical isolates in China.

Objective To investigate the effects of delayed fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics and visceral perfusion in dogs with hemorrhagic shock. Methods Fourteen Beagle dogs were prepared for cannulation of carotid artery and jugular vein, and 24 hours later they were subjected to hemorrhagic shock with about 42% of total blood volume exsanguinated. Animals were divided into delayed resuscitation group ( DR group, n = 8) and immediate resuscitation group ( IR group, n = 6) . In the first 24 hours after hemorrhage, dogs in Dr group were given no fluid resuscitation, while those in IR group were immediately given resuscitation with intra-venous glucose-electrolyte solution, of which the volume was three times that of blood loss. In the second 24 hours, all animals had intra-venous fluid resuscitation. The variables of hemodynamics and visceral perfusion were determined before hemorrhage and 2, 4, 8, 24, 48 and 72 hours after hemorrhage under conscious state of dogs. Results After hemorrhage, the mean arterial pressure,cardiac output index, max of left ventricular contractility, blood flow of intestinal mucosa and urinary output greatly decreased and systemic vascular resistance obviously increased in each group compared with those before hemorrhage ( P ＜ 0.05 ) . From 4 hours after hemorrhage, the above measurements of dogs in IR group gradually resumed and reach Oh levels in 72 hours after hemorrhage except systemic vascular resistance index and intestinal blood flow. Whereas those measurements in dogs of DR group kept on worsening, and the levels of mean arterial pressure, cardiac output index, intestinal blood flow and urinary output were significantly lower than those in dogs of IR group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) . Over 72 hours, five of eight dogs died with anuria in DR, and no animals died in IR group. Conclusion The findings indicate that delayed fluid resuscitation deteriorates hemodynamics, handicapping the restoration of visceral perfusion and increasing mortality in dogs with hemorrhagic shock.

Objective To determine the optimum dose of dexmedetomidine (DEX) for endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) in elderly patients when combined with propofol.Methods Ninetytwo ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ] elderly patients,aged 65-80 yr,with body mass index 18-25 kg/m2,scheduled for elective ERCP,were randomly assigned into 4 groups (n =23 each) using a random number table:fentanyl group (F group),low-dose DEX group (D1 group),medium-dose DEX group (D2 group) and high-dose DEX group (D3 group).Fentanyl 1.0 μg/kg and DEX 0.4,0.7 and 1.0 μg/kg (in normal saline 20 ml) were infused over 10 min via a pump in F,D1,D2 and D3 groups,respectively.At the end of infusion,propofol targetcontrolled infusion was started with the target plasma concentration set at 4 μg/ml,and after the mirror passed through the throat,the target plasma concentration of propofol was adjusted to 2.5 μg/ml.At 10 min after admission to the operating room,immediately after completion of fentanyl or DEX infusion,immediately after the effect-site concentration of propofol reached 4 μg/ml,immediately after the mirror passed through the throat,while pulling the stone,at end of surgery and when the patients were awake,the depth of sedation (NT value) was reccorded and the development of hypoxemia was also recorded.Arterial blood samples were collected at 10 min after admission to the operating room and at the end of operation to record PaCO2.The consumption of propofol,duration of ERCP,and emergence time were recorded.The body movement and requirement for vasoactive drugs were also recorded.Results Compared with F group, NT value and the incidence of hypoxemia were significantly decreased in D1-3 groups,PaCO2,the incidence of body movement and amount of propofol consumed were decreased in D2 and D3 groups,and the emergence time was prolonged and the requirement for atropine was increased in D3 group (P ＜0.05).Compared with D1 group,the PaCO2,NT value,incidence of body movement and amount of propofol consumed were decreased in D2 and D3 groups,the emergence time was prolonged and the requirement for atropine was increased in D3 group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with D2 group,the consumption of propofol was decreased,the emergence time was prolonged,aud the requirement for atropine was increased in D3 group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The optimum dose of dexmedetomidine is 0.7 μg/kg for ERCP in elderly patients when combined with propofol.

Objective To improve the understand of the clinical characteristics of mycosis fungoides and provide guidance for the clinical work. Methods The clinical data of 21 patients with mycosis fungoides in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed including the ages at diagnosis, clinicopatholagic characteristics of skin lesions, systemic manifestation, misdiagnosis and treatment of these patients. Results The mean age was (57.3±2.31) years at the diagnosis. Most patients were at the stage of plaques. Clinical manifestations included generalized lesions (52.4 %) and itchy (66.7 %). Epidermotropism (66.7 %) and pautriers microabscesses(57.1%) were common histopathologic features. Previous misdiaguosis rate was 66.7 %. Skin targeted therapies and biologic therapies were effective approaches to relieve the skin rash at early stage, and combined chemotherapy was typically applied in more advanced cases. Conclusion Mycosis fungoides has various clinical characteristics and careful differential diagnosis should be made in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical outcomes of the posterior C1,2 screw-rod combined with C2 unilateral translaminar screw and contralateral pedicle screw fixation and autogenous bicortical iliac crest graft fusion in treating upper cervical instability with vertebral artery variations.

METHODSFrom June 2008 to December 2012, the clinical data of 12 patients with upper cervical instability underwent C1 lateral mass screws-C2 unilateral laminar and contralateral pedicle screws fixation combined with autogenous bicortical iliac crest graft fusion were analyzed retrospectively. There were 8 males and 4 females with a mean age of 47.5 years (ranged, 16 to 77 years). Patients suffered from occipitocervical activity limitation of motion with pain or not, VAS was 0-7 points with an average of (3.50 +/- 2.71) points. Unilateral vertebral artery hypoplasia was demonstrated by vertebral arteriography (VAG) or CTA in all patients. Cervical X-ray and CT scans were done within 7 days after surgery in order to confirm internal fixation position. Internal fixation loosening and breakage, reduction losing, bone fusion ratio were observed during follow-up.

RESULTSNo nerves and vertebral artery injuries occurred during operation. Cervical pain obviously decreased and VAS was (0.92 +/- 0.90) points. Cervical alignment of 12 patients had well-recovered by X-ray while Atlantoaxial ventral lamina cortex of 1 case was encroached by CT scan without neurological symptom. All patients were followed up for 6 months to 3 years, no internal fixation loosening and breakage, reduction losing were found. All patients obtained bone fusion in 6-12 months after operation.

CONCLUSIONPosterior C1 lateral mass screws-C2 unilateral laminar and contralateral pedicle screws fixation combined with autogenous bicortical iliac crest graft fusion can achieve biomechanical stability and raise the successful rate of bone fusion, while avoiding the risk of vertebral artery injury and overcoming the insufficient of bone fusion during bilateral laminar screws placement as well. Posterior C1 lateral mass screws fixation is a safe and effective additional method in treating upper cervical instability with vertebral artery variations.

Objective To explore clinical effect of repairing soft tissue defect in forearm, hand and foot with free super-thin anterolateral thigh perforator flaps. Methods At first the site of perforator vessels were determined by Doppler, then the flaps were designed and harvested with the site as center; the fascia lata and subcutaneous fat were removed by sandhill-likely only the 4.0 cm × 3.0 cm - 3.0 cm×2.5 cm disc-like fascia lata and dermis layer were reserved. 15 traumatic soft tissue defects including forearm, hand and foot were repaired with the ree super-thin antemlateral thigh perforator flaps. Results No vascular crisis happened and all skin grafts survived in donor sites. 2.0 cm×1.2 cm of the distal of flap was necrosis in 1 case and it was healed by dress changing. 15 cases were followed up 3 months-2 years and the average is 6 months. The contour and texture of all flaps were good and two point discrimination (2-PD) was about 8-10 mm of. Conclusions The contour and texture of free super-thin anterolateral thigh perforator flap are good, the feeling of recipient site recovered well, it's less injury for donor site and there is no reshaping for flap. It is a fineness donor site for repairing soft tissue defects in hand and foot.

Objective To establish a rat skin organ culture model to study the initiation of hair follicle morphogenesis, and the dynamic expression of Wnt10b/β-catenin in the developing hair follicle. Methods The dorsal skins of SD rat at embryos 14-17 (E14-E17) were cultured on a gelatin sponge-supported tissue culture system at the air/liquid interface of DMEM with 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS) for 3-6 days, some of which removed from El5 were cultured in DMEM with FBS of different concentrations. HE staining and fluoroimmunoassay were adopted. Results The model we established allowed skin tissues isolated from E14-E15 to develop in a manner that was histologically and temporarily similar to the process in vivo. However, the developing hair follicle ceased to continue when their morphogenetic process reached the forth stage, and the concentration of FBS did not show any significant effect on the development of hair follicle. Expression of Wnt10b/β-catenin was induced in culture, as it also occurred in vivo,but grew weak till it disappeared in culture for 6 days, which was accompanied by development halt of hair follicle. Conclusions A rat skin organ culture model is established in which the morphogenesis of hair follicle takes place in a manner similar to in vivo, and Wnt10b/β-catenin probably has a close connection with the early morphogenesis of hair follicle.

objective:To investigate the relationship between magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) metabolism and Ki-67 expres-sion in high-(HGG) and low-grade gliomas (LGG) by analyzing Ki-67 expression and HGG and LGG metabolites. Methods:We consid-ered 56 pathologically confirmed glioma cases in our hospital. The Ki-67 expression and the MRS metabolism parameters in the tu-mors were analyzed simultaneously. Results:The tumor solid value of Cho was positively correlated with the Ki-67 expression level (rs=0.714, P<0.05). By contrast, the Ki-67 expression level was negatively correlated with the tumor solid value of NAA (rs=?0.708, P<0.05) in 35 cases of the LGG group. The tumor solid value of Cho was also positively correlated with the Ki-67 expression level (rs=0.624, P<0.05). By comparison, the Ki-67 expression level was negatively correlated with the tumor solid value of NAA in the HGG group (rs=?0.769, P<0.05). Conclusion:The MRS metabolism was correlated with the Ki-67 expression in high-and low-grade gliomas.

Objective To evaluate the effects of intrathecal TRESK gene recombinant adenovirus on inflammatory responses mediated by chemokine in the spinal cord of rats with neuropathic pain ( NP ) . Methods Thirty?six male Sprague?Dawley rats, weighing 200-250 g, were randomly divided into 6 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table: control group (group C); sham operation group (group S);NP group; TRESK?overexpressed adenovirus group ( group TRESK ); negative adenovirus group ( group Virus); normal saline group ( group NS) . Spinal nerve injury was produced by exposing the sciatic nerve and its branches and ligation and transection of tibial nerve and common fibular nerve in anesthetized rats. In TRESK, Virus and NS groups, pAd∕CMV∕V5?DEST?TRESK 25 μl (109IU∕ml), negative adenovirus 25 μl and normal saline 25 μl were intrathecally injected, respectively. At 1 day before operation ( base?line, T0 ) and 1, 3, 7 and 14 days after operation ( T1-4 ) , the mechanical paw withdrawal threshold ( MWT) and thermal paw withdrawal latency were measured. Six rats in each group were sacrificed after measurement of pain threshold at T3 . The L4,5 segments of the spinal cords were removed for determination of monocyte chemotactic protein?1 ( MCP?1) , MIP?2, tumor necrosis factor?alpha ( TNF?α) , interleukin?1 beta ( IL?1β) and IL?6 mRNA expression by real?time PCR. Results There was no significant difference in thermal paw withdrawal latency at each time point between groups. Compared with C and S groups, MWT at T1-4 in NP and TRESK groups and at T1-3 in Virus and NS groups were significantly decreased, and the expression of MCP?1, MIP?2, TNF?α, IL?1βand IL?6 mRNA was up?regulated in NP, TRESK, Virus and NS groups. Compared with group NP, MWT was significantly increased at T1-4, and the expres?sion of MCP?1, MIP?2, TNF?α, IL?1β and IL?6 mRNA was down?regulated in group TRESK. Conclusion The mechanism by which intrathecal TRESK gene recombinant adenovirus reduces NP is re?lated to inhibition of inflammatory responses mediated by chemokine in the spinal cord of rats.
