Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;31(6):608-611
Objective: To use MRI method for continuous observation of the protective effect of uridine 5′-triphosphate (UTP) against cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in rats. Methods: The cerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. UTP solution was delivered through an indwelling tail venous catheter via microinfusion pump 30 min after MCAO at a rate of 5 ml·kg-1·min-1. Neurological deficit score (NDS) and brain water content were determined 24 h after reperfusion. The infarction volume was determined by 2,3,5-triphenyl- tetrazolium chloride (TTC) staining and MRI at 6, 30, and 54 h after reperfusion. Results: The NDS scores in 10, 30, and 90 μg/kg UTP groups were significantly lower than that in the saline control group (P<0.01); the water contents in the right cerebral hemisphere of 10, 30, and 90 μg/kg UTP groups were significantly less than that in the normal saline group (P<0.01). The cerebral infarction volume was gradually decreased with the increase of UTP dose, and the proportions of infarction volumes in 10, 30, and 90 μg/kg UTP groups were significantly decreased compared with the saline control group (P<0.01). The infarction volumes at 6, 30, and 54 h after reperfusion in 90 μg/kg UTP group were significantly lower than those in the saline control group (P<0.01). Conclusion: UTP has a protective effect on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats; it can greatly reduce the volume of cerebral infarction.

Objective To investigate the effect of the extent of surgical resection on the prognosis of children patients with advanced neuroblastoma. Methods Thirty-seven children patients with advanced neuroblastoma were selected as our subjects,who underwent surgical treatment in the People's Hospital Binzhou from Jan. 2001to Dec. 2006. All the patients were treated with surgical operation or surgical operation combined with chemotherapy,among them 24 cases were completely removal,and 13 cases were partially removal. All patients were followed-up for more than 5 years. Log rank test and multivariate COX regression analysis were used to explore the effect of surgery resection on prognosis. Results The influencing factors of the complete resection group included lymphatic metastasis,clinical stage,combined with chemotherapy,tumor markers neuronspecific enolase(P = 0. 002,0. 000,0. 019,0. 015 respectively). COX regression analysis showed that the independent factors included chemotherapy( OR = 1. 952,95% CI = 1. 258 - 2. 759,P = 0. 000),lymph node metastasis(OR = 2. 856,95% CI = 1. 356 - 3. 859,P = 0. 019),and extent of surgical resection(OR = 3. 069, 95% CI = 1. 585 - 4. 685,P = 0. 005). The shortest survival period of patients in this study was a month,and the median survival period was 33. 96 months. One year survival rate was 62. 21% and 2-year survival rate was 41. 09% as well as 3-year survival rate was 23. 59% . The average survival period between total and partial of surgical resection was significant((56. 96 ± 13. 22)months,(19. 63 ± 10. 20)months;P = 0. 019). Conclusion Surgical resection is an important factor of the prognosis of patients with NB. If the patient's own conditions permit,it can be appropriate to expand the scope of surgical resection in order to reduce the risk of tumor recurrence.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture at the trigger points on the back in treating cardioneurosis. Methods Fifty patients with cardioneurosis were selected to receive syndrome differentiation of traditional Chinese medicine, and then were evaluated for the improvement of symptoms respectively after first acupuncture treatment at the trigger points on the back and after 3~5 acupuncture treatments. Results Of the 50 cardioneurosis patients, 30 showed marked effect, 14 showed effective, 6 failed in the treatment, and the total effective rate was 88.0%. The total effective rate was 96.2%in patients of deficient heart yang, and was 75.0%in those of excessive fire due to yin deficiency, 83.3%in those of qi stagnation due to liver depression, and 83.3%in those of deficient heart yin. The improvement rate of subjective symptoms after 3~5 treatments was significantly different from that after the first treatment (P<0.05). Conclusions Acupuncture at the trigger points on the back is an effective approach in treating cardioneurosis, and it can achieve a marked efficacy with successive 3~5 sessions.

International Eye Science 2016;16(6):1110-1112
?AIM: To compare the clinical effect of 23G and 25G+vitrectomy for retinal detachment.?METHODS:Forty seven patients with retinal detachment were treated with 23G vitrectomy (27 eyes in 27 cases as group A) and 25G+ vitrectomy (20 eyes in 20 cases as group B ) . The operation time and the incidence of intraoperative complications were recorded. The occurrence of retinal reposition, visual acuity, intraocular pressure ( IOP ) and complications were observed. Postoperative follow-up time of the two groups were 3d, 1wk, 3mo. The relevant records were statistically analyzed and compared.?RESULTS: The operation time of 23G group and 25G+group were 50. 21+4. 52min, 49. 15+5. 14min,respectively and there was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0. 05). The main complications were retinal hemorrhage and iatrogenic retinal hole. There were 3 eyes with retinal hemorrhage, 2 eyes with iatrogenic retinal hole in 23G group, and 1 eye with retinal hemorrhage, 1 eye with iatrogenic retinal hole in the 25G+group, and the difference was statistically significant ( P<0. 05). The postoperative visual acuity of 23G group and 25G + group were significantly improved, and the differences between the two groups were not statistically significant at different time points after operation ( P>0. 05). The number of eyes with hypotonia in 23G and 25G+group were 3 and 1 eyes respectively, the difference was statistically significant ( P < 0. 05 ). But there were no significant differences between the two groups on IOP at 1wk and 3mo after surgery (P>0. 05). At the last follow-up, the results showed that 26 eyes ( 96%) with retinal reposition in 23G group, 19 eyes (95%) in 25G+ group, the difference was not statistically significant (P>0. 05).?CONCLUSION: The clinical effect of 23G and 25G+vitrectomy for retinal detachment is similar, but 25G+vitrectomy can reduce incidence of complications and early postoperative low IOP.

Objective To explore possible physiological and biochemical mechanisms of Lagenidium giganteum infection in killing mosquito larvae. Methods The content of lipid and the activities of esterase and lipase between the normal and infected mosquito larvae were observed with histochemical method. The results were photomicrographed and analysed by image analysis using computer. Results In 24 hrs after infection, the content of lipid in the infected Culex quinquefasciatus larvae was lower while the activities of esterase and lipase in the larvae were higher than the control. In 48 hrs and 78 hrs after infection, the content of lipid in the infected larvae of C. quinquefasciatus and Ae. albopictus were significantly lower while the activities of esterase and lipase were significantly higher than those of control. Conclusion The content of lipid in the mosquito larvae decreased while the activities of esterase and lipase increased after the infection of Lagenidium giganteum . The disorder of lipid metabolism might be part of the killing mechanisms to C. quinquefasciatus and Ae. albopictus larvae.
