Objective To evaluate the value of MR imaging with a contrast enhanced multi phasic isotropic volumetric interpolated breath hold examination (VIBE) in diagnosis of primary liver carcinoma. Methods Thirty two consecutive patients with surgical pathologically confirmed 42 foci of primary carcinoma of liver underwent comprehensive MR examination of the upper abdomen, routine two dimensional (2D) T1WI and T2WI images were acquired before administration of Gd DTPA for contrast enhancement. Then, contrast enhanced multi phasic VIBE was acquired followed by 2D T1WI images. The lesion appearances on hepatic arterial, portal venous and equilibrium phases of VIBE sequence were carefully observed along with delineation of hepatic arterial and portal venous structures. The lesion detection rates and lesion characterization ability were compared among various MR sequences. Results 33(78.6%), 30(71.4%), 38(90.5%) and 42(100%) foci were displayed respectively on T2WI, non enhanced T1WI, enhanced T1WI and enhanced 3D VIBE images ( P

AIM: To explore the influence of different concentration midazolam on the macroscopic voltage gated potassium currents and to discuss the relationship between potassium currents and inhibitory effect of clinical relevant concentration midazolam on sympathetic nervous system. METHODS: Superior sympathetic ganglion neurons were dissociated enzymatically from 7 to10 day old rat. Experiments were performed about 5 h after plating at room temperature (20- 24 ℃ ). Appropriate solution was chosen to separate the K + current from the other transmembrane currents. 1 ?mol?L -1 TTX was applied to the extracelluar solution to block the Na + current. Midazolam was also resolved in extracelluar solution to get various concentration ( 0.1 , 0.3 ,3,10,50,100 ?mol?L -1 ). Currents were recorded with the patch clamp technique in whole cell configuration using glass electrodes with a tip resistance of 2- 4 M . Potassium currents were evoked by test pulse from -100 mV to +30 mV with holding potential -80mV. Data were analyzed using Clampfit 6.0 and Oringih 5.0 software. Whole cell current records were corrected for leakage and capacitance by using the P/5 protocol. RESULTS: Midazolam dose dependently inhibited the whole cell potassium currents. Clinical relevant concentration midazolam ( 0.3 ?mol?L -1 ) only reduced the peak currents by 3.89 %(P= 0.88 ). The concentration required to produce 50% current inhibition(IC 50 ) was 76.065 ?mol?L -1 . CONCLUSION: Midazolam inhibits the whole cell potassium current significantly and dose dependently, but clinical relevant concentration midazolam has minor effect on the potassium currents, indicating that the inhibitory effect of midazolam on potassium current is not related to the suppression of activity of sympathetic system.

Objective This study on a medium-fidelity simulator (SimMan , Laerdal Medical Corpo-ration,Wappingers Falls, NY, USA) examined the management of unanticipated difficult airway by residents of anesthesiology and the effect of training in this context.Methods 30 residents of anesthesiology were devided into two groups (T and E). There were two scenarios investigated:'can't intubate, can oxygenate'(CI) and'can't intubate, can't oxygenate'(CICO). The E group was trained by scene simulation in the second, fourth, sixth month respectively before and after the training, and the T group received the same situation simulation training on the same day after the theoretical training and in the second, sixth month after the training. In con-trast to standard operating procedures, the performance of two groups of trainees was recorded on the basis of pre established evaluation criteria. Data differences between the two groups were analyzed using SPSS 23.0,t test, M-W test andx2 test.ResultIn CI, success rate of placement of astandard and intubating laryngeal mask air-way were high in T group (87% vs. 55% ,P=0.037). This was sustained over time. There was no difference in duration and incidence of desaturation between two groups. In CICO, there was a more structured approach following training in T group (P<0.05), which wasn't sustained over time. But this was sustained over 6 months in E group.ConclusionSituational simulation training can significantly improve the anesthesiology residents' ability to take proper response measures to the unexpected difficult airway, and significantly shorten the training time for emergency airway treatment. Repeated situational simulation training should be conducted at intervals of 2 months or less, allowing residents to maintain emergency response to the emergency airway.

OBJECTIVE To study the isolation rate of Acinetobacter baumannii, characteristics of infection distribution and antimicrobial resistance rates. METHODS Surveillance data of A. baumannii infection of wards, its distribution and resistance rates to 20 kinds of antibiotics in our hospital for 5 years were analyzed . RESULTS During the 5-year infection surveillance, 523 strains of A. baumannii were isolated in our hospital mostly from sputum. The commonest site was lower respiratory tract. The ward with the highest incidence of A. baumannii infection was ICU. The isolation rate was 11.1% in 2004, though 3.9% in 2000. A. baumannii was resistant to 20 kinds of antibiotics, especially to imipenem, cefoperazone /sulbactam and ampicillin/sulbactam. CONCLUSIONS The isolation rate of A. baumannii and antimicrobial resistance rate are increasing year by year. The increased rate of multidrug-resistance should be payed more attention .

Objective:To investigate the effects of rosuvastatin and lfuvastatin on patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) combing impaired glucose tolerance (IGT).
Methods: A total of 215 consecutive ACS patients combing IGT treated in our hospital from 2009-05 to 2011-05 were studied. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups, Rosuvastatin group, the patients received rosuvastatin10mg/day, n=108 and Fluvastatin group, the patients received fluvastatin 40mg/day, n=107. The total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels before and at 6, 12, 24 months after medication, fasting blood glucose (FBG), 2-hour postprandial glucose (2hPBG) and the number of new-onset of diabetes patients were compared between 2 groups.
Results: After treatment, the TC, LDL-C levels were decreased (6, 12, 24 months) and the HDL-C level (12, 24 months), 2hPBG (24 months) were increased in both groups. Compared with Fluvastatin group, Rosuvastatin group had decreased TC and LDL-C (6, 12, 24 months), and increased LDL-C (24 months). With 6, 12, 24 months treatment, the blood lipids reached the standard were more in Rosuvastatin group than those in Fluvastatin group as 35.3%vs 26.1%, 36.4% vs 22.0%, 43.1% vs 31.8% respectively, all P<0.05. With 12 and 24 months treatment, the new-onset diabetes patients in Rosuvastatin group were 11 and 18, in Fluvastatin group were 12 and 17. With 12, 24 months treatment, FBG, 2hPBG levels and the number of new-onset diabetes patients were similar between 2 groups, P>0.05.
Conclusion: Compared with lfuvastatin, the conventional dose of rosuvastatin could better reduce the blood lipids level in ACS patients combing IGT, the effects for preventing ACS patients from IGT to diabetes were similar for both drugs.

Anesthesiology rotation is an important part in resident standardization training of surgery. However, there are many problems in the teaching process. For example, the key points of teaching is not clear, the process of teaching is not coherent, and teachers and students lack interaction. The Rotation Record is introduced in order to solve those problems. The Rotation Record effectively reflects the fundamental process and major learning point of anesthesiology department which contains three items: the usage and recording of instrument; the communication and the basic knowledge and operating skills of anesthesia. The Rotation Record can initiate learning activity, emphasize important contents, supervise and urge teaching and improve the learning effect. By introducing Rotation Record, the assessment results in the surgical residency in anesthesiology has greatly improved compared to the previous ones, and has effectively improved the teaching quality of anesthesia.
