Objective To observe the changes of intraocular pressure(IOP)in surgical treatment of Arnold-Chiari malformation.Methods The IOP of 20 patients who underwent surgical treatment of ArnoldChiari malformation were detected by Tono-Pen tonometer at 5 min utes after general anesthesia(T0),5 minutes after prone position(T1),30 minutes after prone position(T2),60 minutes after prone position(T3),prone position before the end of operation(T4),5 minutes after recovery prostration position(Ts)and 30 minutes after prostration position(T6),mean aortic pressure(MAP),heart rate(HR)and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in end tidal(PETCO2)were recorded at the same time.With the prone position,head was fixed bead-holder with skull pin.Results There was no statistical difference in MAP,HR,PEtCO2 at each time point(P＞ 0.05).The IOP significantly increased at T1[(20.9 ±2.5)mm Hg(1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa)],T2[(17.7 ± 1.7)mm Hg],T3[(23.9 ±2.4)mm Hg],T4[(26.3 ± 1.0)mm Hg]compared with IOP at T0 [(9.5 ± 1.5)mm Hg](P ＜ 0.05),there were significant differences between T2 and T3,T3 and T4(P ＜ 0.05).Recovery prostration position,the IOP decreased gradually,IOP at T5[(18.6 ± 1.8)mm Hg]was significantly lower than that at T4(P ＜ 0.05),but T5 was still higher than T0(P ＜ 0.05).The IOP at T6[(10.3 ± 1.7)mm Hg]was no difference compared with T0.Inserting of skull pin might be increase IOP for a moment,the IOP at T; was significantly higher than that at T2(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion IOP gradually increases as the patients prone position changes in surgical treatment of Arnold-Chiari malformation,and inserting of skull pin maybe increase IOP for a moment.

Despite the clinical and experimental concerns about the deleterious effects of neonatal seizures on brain development,the underlying mechanism of seizure-induced brain damage is still not clear.Moreover,early therapeutic intervention studies are also less available.For this reason,the study was performed to explore the long-term effects of neonatal seizures and physical exercise on learning,memory and the expression of calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase Ⅱ(CaMKⅡ).Twelve neonatal rats for each group were assigned:the single-seizure group(SS),the recurrent-seizure group(RS) and the control group.The volatile agent flurothyl was used to induce 30 min seizure attack.At postnatal day 6(P6),the single seizures induced only once and recurrent seizures induced once per day for consecutive 6 days.Control rats were placed into the container for an equal amount of time to their counterpart without exposure to flurothyl.Morris water-maze test were performed at P27～P31,P58～P61 and P80～P82,meanwhile at P51～P56,the RS and SS groups were submitted to forced running exercise.In situ hybridization method was used to detect the expression of CaMKⅡ mRNA in hippocampus.The results are as follows:(1) Escape latency.In the first two Morris water-maze tests,there was a decreasing trend of escape latency in three groups,and the escape latency of RS group was much longer than that of control group.After physical exercise,in the last Morris water-maze tests,the diference of escape latency in three groups is not significant.(2) Searching strategy.In the first Morris water-maze test,there was a decreasing trend of marginal strategy and an increasing trend of taxis strategy in three groups,but the frequency of marginal strategy was higher and the frequency of taxis strategy was lower in RS group than that in SS and control group in the third and fourth day(P

Objective To explore the application value of ultra -high frequency ultrasound in detection of femoral artery stenosis in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four healthy male New Zealand white rabbits (body weight 2.5 -3.0 kg) were randomly divided into three groups , 8 rabbits in each group.Preparation of femoral atherosclerosis model : the rabbits were fed with high fat diet for 4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks after femoral artery balloon injury , respectively.The changes of cholesterol level were observed .We used ultra-high frequency ultrasonic probe to observe the femoral artery , to assess the diameter stenosis rate and peak systolic velocity (SPV) at the symptomatic side, and the histological areal stenosis was evaluated.Results 1.The blood cholesterol levels were increased after fed high cholesterol diet , with a significant difference among the groups (P <0.001); 2.There was a stenosis to a different degree in the modeling artery after fed high cholesterol diet for 4 wks, 8 wks, and 12 wks, and the stenosis degree was increased gradually .At 12 w, the degree of stenosis was higher than that at 4 w and 8 w, respectively, showing statistical significance ( P <0.001).At the symptomatic side, the peak systolic flow velocity was increased , and it was higher at 12 w than that at 4w and 8 w, respectively.3.With the extension of time, the arterial stenosis rate was increased along with the time course (P <0.05). Conclusions 1.High fat diet combined with balloon injury can cause varying degrees of rabbit femoral artery stenosis ; 2. Ultrahigh frequency ultrasound can clearly show different degrees of rabbit femoral artery stenosis , and can be used for detecting the lesions in animal models of peripheral vascular diseases .

Objective To investigate the value of dynamic three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (3D-CEUS) in evaluating therapeutic response of hepatoma treated with radiofrequency ablation (RFA).Methods Totally 48 cases of patients with hepatic carcinoma (48 lesions) admitted in Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from September 2012 to January 2014 were selected.All patients underwent radiofrequency ablation,of which 30 patients were diagnosed by pathology after surgery,18 patients by clinical diagnosis.All patients underwent two-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasound (2D-CEUS) and 3D-CEUS 1 month and 3 months after RFA treatment to evaluate the therapeutic response,and the results of contrast-enhanced ultrasound and enhanced computed tomography (CT) [or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)] were compared.The final diagnostic results of pathologic biopsy or more than two imaging examinations [ultrasonography,CT,MRI,positron emission tomography (PET)],tumor markers,and more than 3 months follow-up of patients were used as the gold standard.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of dynamic 3D-CEUS,2D-CEUS,enhanced CT (or MRI) in the diagnosis of tumor inactivation were calculated respectively.Results After radiofrequency ablation,dynamic 3D-CEUS could provide more valuable information in 75.0％ (36/48) lesions,which contribute to assess the efficacy of radiofrequency ablation.While compared with 2D-CEUS,3D-CEUS did not change the diagnosis or clinical management in 12 (25.0％) lesions.40 of 48 lesions were found no-enhancement in entire CEUS procedure suggesting that the tumor completely inactivated,while 8 lesions showed local enhancement on the edge of lesion suggesting that part of the tumors were active.39 of 48 lesions showed no-enhancement and other 9 with irregular enhancement on enhanced CT (or MRI).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CEUS and enhanced CT (or MRI) in detection of residual tumor after radiofrequency ablation were 80.0％,100％,95.8％ and 80.0％,97.4％,93.8％,respectively.Conclusions There was no statistical significance among 3D-CEUS,2D-CEUS and enhanced CT or MRI in evaluating therapeutic response of hepatoma treated with radiofrequency ablation.But 3D-CEUS can provide more valuable information,3D-CEUS has potential usefulness in the evaluation of percutaneous radiofrequency ablation of hepatic tumors.

Hip surgery is often associated with moderate to severe postoperative pain due to exten-sive invasion.A safe and effective postoperative pain treatment can promote patients'recovering activities and facilitate the early functional recovery of the hip after the surgery.Although the routinely used intrave-nous self-controlled analgesia has an exquisite analgesic effect,it carries the risks of postoperative nausea and emesis,excessive sedation,intestinal paralysis,and even respiratory depression.As an alternative to transversus abdominis plane block(TAPB),lumbar quadratus block(QLB)has been gradually applied to the hip joint surgery.In this paper,we review the anatomical basis and characteristics of QLB and its clini-cal application in hip surgery,in order to provide the postoperative analgesia application of QLB.

Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of gastrojejunal bypass surgery combined with radical gastrectomy following conversion therapy for gastric cancer with outlet obstruction.Methods:The retrospective and descriptive study was conducted. The clinicopatho-logical data of 10 initially unresectable gastric cancer patients with outlet obstruction who were admitted to Ruijin Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from October 2019 to July 2020 were collected. There were 8 males and 2 females, aged from 41 to 59 years, with a median age of 53 years. Patients underwent 'sandwich therapy' of gastrojejunal bypass surgery combined with gastrectomy following conversion therapy. Observation indicators: (1) gastrojejunal bypass surgery and postoperative situations; (2) conversion therapy and complications; (3) radical gastrectomy and postoperative situations; (4) follow-up. Follow-up using outpatient examinations or telephone interview was conducted to detect postoperative complications, progress-free survival, tumor recurrence and metastasis up to March 2019. Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as Mean± SD, and measurement data with skewed distribution were represented as M(range). Count data were described as absolute numbers. Results:(1) Gastrojejunal bypass surgery and postoperative situations: 10 patients received modified gastrojejunal bypass surgery combined with No.4sb lymph node dissection, without intraoperative serious complications, conversion to laparotomy or death. The operation time, volume of intraoperative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, time to liquid diet intake were 73 minutes(range, 60-87 minutes), 33 mL(range,20-110 mL), 3 days(range, 2-6 days), 4 days(range, 4-9 days). One patient had post-operative Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complication of anastomotic bleeding, and was improved after transfusion of blood products. (2) Conversion therapy and complications: of 10 patients, 9 cases received 4 cycles of FLOT regimen. One of the 9 cases was suspended chemotherapy due to Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ anastomotic edema after 2 cycles of FLOT regimen. Of 10 patients, there were 6 cases with partial response and 4 cases with stable disease. Of 6 patients with partial response, 4 cases with preoperative cT4b stage were down stage to T4a stage, showing the relationship of tumor with transverse mesentery and pancreatic capsule clearer than the first exploration, 2 cases with preoperative lymph nodes fusion had shrank obviously. Of 4 patients with stable disease, 3 cases were negative for lymph nodes shranking, and the rest 1 case with tumor peritoneal metastasis diagnosed by initial laparoscopy can not be evaluated by imaging examination after chemotherapy. Two of 10 patients had Clavien-Dindo grade I complication of elevated blood glucose during the chemotherapy, which were improved after insulin therapy. (3) Radical gastrectomy and post-operative situations: 10 patients underwent radical resection after conversion therapy. Of 4 cases with stable disease, 3 cases with preoperative lymph nodes fusion showed obvious space between lymph nodes and surrounding tissues at resurgical exploration and received radical resection, 1 case with peritoneal metastasis showed abdominal wall nodelus and omental tuberosity as fibrous scars at resurgical exploration and received radical resection. The operation time, volume of intra-operative blood loss, time to postoperative first flatus, time to initial liquid diet intake, duration of total hospital stay, duration of postoperative hospital stay of 10 patients were 148 minutes(range, 95-195 minutes), 108 mL(range, 100-180 mL), 3 days(range, 2-7 days), 4 days(range, 3-9 days), 11 days(range, 10-21 days), 8 days(range, 7-16 days). Two of 10 patients had perioperative complications. Results of pathological examination of 10 patients showed the number of dissected lymph nodes as 25±6. There were 1 case of stage T1, 5 cases of stage T3, 4 cases of stage T4a. There were 1 case of stage N0, 2 cases of stage N1, 3 cases of stage N2, 4 cases of stage N3. There were 3 cases of tumor regression grade 1a, 1 case of grade 1b, 4 cases of grade 2, 2 cases of grade 3. (4) Follow-up: 10 patients were followed up for 3.9-13.0 months, with a median follow-up time of 6.0 months. The median progression-free survival time of 10 patients was 6.0 months. During the follow-up, 1 case underwent postoperative Clavien-Dindo grade Ⅱ complication of delayed gastric emptying and was improved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusion:The gastrojejunal bypass surgery combined with gastrectomy following conversion therapy for gastric cancer with outlet obstruction is safe and effective.
