Objective To explore mycocardial protection effect of sevoflurane post-conditioning in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) surgery,and the mechanism of mycocardial protection of sevoflurane post-conditioning.Methods Thirty six patients undergoing OPCABG were randomly divided into three groups:at 1.5 MAC (minimum alveolar concentration) for 5 minutes first,with an interruption control group (Cont group),sevoflurane preconditioning group (SPC group),and sevoflurane postconditioning group (SPO group).All patients were administrated by intravenous anesthetic drug,both for induction and maintenance.No special interventions were used in Cont group.However,in SPC group,12 patients inhaled sevoflurane for 10 minutes,then continued for 5 minutes,total 10 minutes before the anastomotic between mammary artery and anterior descending artery.In SPO group,12 patients inhaled sevoflurane at 1.5 MAC for 2 minutes before the anastomosis of last one coronary artery,and continued for 8 minutes.Four time points were focused on including T1 (accomplishment of induction),T2 (1 hour after the coronary revascularization),T3 (6 hour after the coronary revascularization),and T4 (24 hour after the coronary revascularization).Blood samples were drawn from the internal jugular vein for the measurement of the plasma concentrations of TNT-hs (highly sensitive cardiac troponin T),CK-MB (creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme),NT-proBNP (N-Terminal fragment of the prohormone Brain-Type Natri-uretic Peptide),and TNF-α (tumornecrosis factor-α).Results All the patients completed the trials without significant adverse effects.The age,gender,ejection fraction,and operative time among three groups were no statistically significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Stay time in postoperative ICU and hospital were significantly less than Cont group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the pre-operative baseline,all patients'plasma concentrations of TNT-hs,CK-MB,NT-proBNP,and TNF-α were significantly increased at 1 h,6 h,and 24 h after coronary revascularization (P ＜0.05).TNT-hs in Cont group showed a persistent increase,while in other two groups (SPC and SPO),TNT-hs reached the peak concentrations at 6 hours after the coronary revascularization,which were same with CK-MB,TNF-α,and MDA in all groups;NT-proBNP reached the peak at coronary revascularization after 24 h.Compared to Cont group,TNT-hs,CK-MB,and TNF-α in groups SPC and SPO were significantly lower at 6 h,24 h after coronary revascularization; NT-proBNP was significantly lower only at 24 h after coronary revascularization.Conclusions Sevoflurane post-conditioning in OPCABG has identified myocardial protection,which was comparable with sevoflurane preconditioning.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the antimicrobial resistance of nonfermenters Gram-negative bacilli causing nosocomial infection.METHODS Routine method was used to isolate and identify,antibiotics susceptibility was tested by the Kirby-Bauer on the NCCLS criterion of 2001.RESULTS Among 321 strains nonfermenters Gram-negative bacilli,Pseudomonas aeruginoa was 53.9%,Acinetobacter were 17.4%,and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia was 12.5%,Three kinds added up to 83.8%.CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosea,Acinetobacter and S.maltophilia are important nonfermenters Gram-negative bacilli causing nosocomial infection and their drug resistant rate is very high.The matter is horrible in clinics,we should enforce monitoring.

The new ultrasound device, automated breast ultrasound (ABUS), has the advantages of repeatable reading of standardized whole breast images, and can separate ultrasound scanning and diagnosis. ABUS is more suitable for breast ultrasound training. This study compared the breast ultrasound imaging training model with ABUS diagnosis practice as the core and the traditional breast ultrasound imaging training model with handhold ultrasound operation and diagnosis as the core, and found that the new training model with ABUS diagnosis practice as the core had a short training period. The diagnostic level of doctors have improved rapidly, and the new training model could efficiently train more technically qualified ultrasound doctors for breast disease.

AIM: To evaluate the pulmonary function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in order to identify whether the lung is a target organ of chronic pathologic changes in diabetes mellitus. METHODS: Pulmonary ventilation function and diffusion capacity were studied in 107 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and 61 healthy subjects matched for age and sex. Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), urine albumin excretion rate (AER), fundus examination and nerve conduction velocity were included as parameters of glycemic control and diabetic microangiopathies. RESULTS: Pulmonary ventilation function was similar in type 2 diabetic group and the control. Compared with the control, carbon monoxide diffusion capacity (DLCO) and DLCO corrected by alveolar volume (DLCO/VA) were significantly lower in type 2 diabetic group (P<0.05). DLCO and DLCO/VA were inversely correlated with microangiopathy score (r: -0.291, -0.324, respectively, P<0.01). Furthermore, DLCO/VA was negatively correlated with age and duration of diabetes mellitus (r: -0.269, -0.236, respectively, P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Pulmonary ventilation function is normal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but their diffusion capacity is impaired. It suggests that the lung may also be the target organ of the chronic pathologic changes of diabetes mellitus.

Objective To assess the effects of MRI-positive and interictal epileptic charges(IEDs) dominance on the memory of the patients with drug-resistant medial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE). Methods Fifty right-handed patients(age ranging from 16 to 60 years old)diagnosed as drug-resistant MTLE in our hospital with normal intelligence between September 2006 and April 2007 were investigated. All patients were classified as left MRI-positive(MRI(+)),right MRI(+),MRI(-),bilateral MR[ (+)by high-quality MR[protocol.The EEG was defined as dominant IEDs if≥75%independent IEDs was confined to one temporal lobe in all EEG recordings.Clinical memory scale was administered as memory assessment of MTLE.ANOVA and non-parametric statistics were used to analyze the data in SPSS 12.0. Results The distribution of age,sex,education,occupation,living condition,course,seizure and treat among left MRI(+),right MRI(+),MRI(-),bilateral MRI(+)groups was similar.All scores in the patients with MTLE was significantly lower than normal(P＜0.05).Right MRI(+)MTLE patients had deftcits in nonsense graphics recognition(9.42±7.46)compared to left MRI(+)and MRI(-) groups((16.26±4.43)and(18.26±5.49),F=4.281,P＜0.05).Among MRI(-)patients,left IEDs,right IEDs and bilateral IEDs groups displayed not significantly different impairment in memory. Conclusion Right MRI(+)MTLE has more severe impairment in non-verbal memory,and nonsense graphics recognition can be used to detect the deficit.

Objective To investigate the clinical,electroencephalogram (EEG) and genetic features of nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy (NFLE) in the Chinese population.Methods Clinical examination,EEG recording,mutation screenings in transmembrane domains 1-3 of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) α4 (CHRNA4),β2 (CHRNB2) and α2 (CHRNA2) using PCR amplification and sequencing were carried out on 6 patients and some members in 3 families with NFLE.Results Among 6 patients (5 male) with NFLE,the mean age was (20.5±11.5) years and the mean age at onset was (7.3±5.5) years.Clinical features included seizures of dystonic posturing in 2 patients and seizures of hyperkinetic movements in 4 patients with the maximum frequency of 6 seizures within one night.The ictal and interictal video-EEG (VEEG) of frontal lobes showed epileptic discharges,slow wave activity,normal activity or electrode artifacts.There weren' t abnormity in other clinical examination and neuroimagings.No mutations were identified in the genes screened.Conclusion NFLE is a heterogenetic epilepsy syndrome.

To investigate the dynamics of interleukin-21 (IL-21) cytokine in the Chinese HIV patients undergoing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAAPT).Methods A total of 25 adults with chronic HIV infections,responding to combined highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) guideline criteria were enrolled for a 1-year follow-up.After signing an informed consent,20 mL blood was collected from each patient at the base line,6 month and 12 month,respectively.CD4 and CD8 cell count was quantified by flux cytometry,serum HIV RNA quantified by real time PCR and IL-21 concentrations by ELISA.Results IL-21 levels increased gradually during the follow-up but did not reach the healthy levels.IL-21 correlated positively with the CD4 cells but not with CD8 T cells.HIV RNA correlated negatively with CD4 cell count but did not show any relationship with the CD8 cells.Conclusion IL-21 has potential role in the immunopathogenesis of HIV,and might be an important factor in immune construction during HAART.
