Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on perioperative pulmonary compliance and the expression of Toll?like recep?tor(TLR)?2 and TLR?4 in the peripheral blood during perioperative period in patients undergoing open colorectal cancer radical surgery. Meth?ods Twenty patients with colorectal cancer underwent elective general anesthesia,with ASA gradeⅠ?Ⅱand body mass index(BMI)<30 kg/m2, aged 30 to 68 years old,were enrolled for the study. They were randomly divided into control group(group C,n=10)and dexmedetomidine group (group D,n=10). In group D,dexmedetomidine was infused at a rate of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 from the beginning of surgery till 30 min before the end of surgery. The patients in group C received same manipulation as in group D except dexmedetomidine was replaced by normal saline. The mean ar?terial pressure(MAP)and heart rate(HR)were recorded before anesthesia induction(T0),30 min(T2),60 min(T3),and 90 min(T4)after the beginning of surgery,extubation(T6),and 3 min after extubation(T7). Airway pressure and lung dynamic compliance were recorded at T1?T7 time points,respectively. Vein blood samples were drawn to analyze the TLR?2,TLR?4 and tumor necrosis factorα(TNF?α)concentration at T0,T4,T7 and the day after operation(T8),respectively. Results Compared with group C,MAP and HR increased in group D at T6(P<0.05);lung dynamic compliance increased in group D at T4(P<0.05);TLR?2 and TLR?4 concentration in serum decreased in group D at T4, T7 and T8(P<0.05);TNF?αconcentration in serum decreased in group D at T4,T7 and T8(P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous infusion of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 dexmedetomidine can help to stabilize hemodynamics,relieve inflammatory stress response,maintain the relative stability of intra?operative hemodynamic parameters,and also can improve the pulmonary dynamic compliance of patients.

Objective To observe the expression of PAX-2 and PTEN in different types of endometrial lesions, and to study their relationship with endometrial intraepithelial neoplasia (EIN). Methods 60 cases of endometrial hyperplasic lesions and 70 cases of endometrial carcinoma were enrolled. All cases were reclassified by using the diagnostic criteria of EIN, and PAX-2 and PTEN were stained to compare the difference among them. Results The deletion rates of PAX-2 in benign hyperplasia, EIN and endometrial carcinoma were 39.5 % (15/38), 72.7 % (16/22) and 78.6 % (55/70), respectively, and there was a statistical difference (χ2= 21.664, P= 0.000). The deletion rates of PTEN in benign hyperplasia, EIN and endometrial carcinoma were 47.4%(18/38), 54.5%(12/22) and 75.7%(53/70), respectively, and there was no statistical difference (χ2=2.878, P=0.411). Conclusion The staining of PAX-2 could be considered as a reliable adjuvant diagnostic method in the diagnostic criteria of EIN, however, the loss of PTEN just should be regarded as a suggestion of EIN, not a confirmed diagnostic basis.

The antibacterial activity and mechanism of the antimicrobial peptide mutant Cbf-14-2 against NDM-1 carrying recombinant bacteria (E.coli BL21 (DE3)-NDM-1) was investigated in this study.The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC),minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and killing curves (KCs) in vitro were determined by the broth microdilution method.Mice septicemia model was established by interaperitotoneal injection of E.coli BL21 (DE3)-NDM-1 to evaluate the antibacterial activity of this peptide in vivo.Results showed that Cbf-14-2 exhibited a potent antibacterial activity with MIC of 16 μg/mL and killed almost all recombinant bacteria within 120 min.Meanwhile,it significantly improved the survival rate of infected mice up to 70% with the decreasing of bacterial load in mice lung,liver,spleen and kidney.This powerful clearance ability of Cbf-14-2 against bacteria mainly related to its enhanced membrane penetration ability through neutralizing the negative charges and disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane.Therefore,Cbf-14-2 is expected to be a potential antimicrobial agent for the treatment of infection induced by multi-drug resistant bacteria,especially for the NDM-1carrying bacteria.

Objective To evaluate the effect of global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI) on fluid resuscitation in elderly patients with septic shock. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. Septic shock patients over 65 years admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Shandong Province, Zibo Central Hospital from January 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled. The patients were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 20 cases in each group. In accordance with the guidelines for the treatment of septic shock, early goal-directed therapy (EGDT), rehydration in the control group was treated with the guide of central venous pressure (CVP); observation group was received pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) monitoring, and rehydration was treated according to the GEDVI and extravascular lung water index (EVLWI), i.e. GEDVI was maintained in 650-800 mL/m2, EVLWI was not obviously increased compared with the basic value and without the emphasis of CVP. Initial acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ ) score, sequential organ failure score (SOFA), procalcitonin (PCT), mean arterial pressure (MAP), lactic acid (Lac) and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2); serial Lac, central venous to arterial carbon dioxide pressure (Pcv-aCO2), fluid balance, the amount of noradrenaline accumulation, PaO2/FiO2 after 6, 24 and 48 hours resuscitation; mechanical ventilation time, incidence of acute heart failure, ICU hospitalization time and 28-day mortality were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in gender,age, APACHE Ⅱ score, SOFA score, primary disease, infection site and basal PCT, MAP, Lac, PaO2/FiO2 between the two groups. Compared with the control group, 6 hours Lac, Pcv-aCO2 recovery, positive fluid balance, noradrenaline accumulation and PaO2/FiO2 of the observation group showed no significant difference; positive fluid balance 24 hours in the recovery was significantly reduced (mL: 2919.80±986.44 vs. 3991.40±933.53), Pcv-aCO2 significantly decreased [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 5.55±1.43 vs. 7.10±2.38], PaO2/FiO2 significantly improved (mmHg: 194.80±28.57 vs. 177.65±23.46), and noradrenaline accumulation was increased significantly (mg: 40.99±20.69 vs. 27.31±19.34) with statistically significant difference (all P < 0.05); the blood level of Lac 48 hours in the recovery was significantly decreased (mmol/L: 1.16±0.89 vs. 1.85±1.01), Pcv-aCO2 (mmHg: 5.35±1.18 vs. 6.70±2.34), and PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg: 215.75±33.84 vs. 190.60±32.89) were further improved, the positive fluid balance was significantly reduced (mL: 3141.55±1245.69 vs. 4533.85±1416.67, all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group, mechanical ventilation time (days: 3.65±1.31 vs. 4.50±1.19), ICU hospitalization time (days: 5.80±1.67 vs. 7.15±2.30) was significantly shorter in the observation group (both P < 0.05), acute heart failure rate was decreased significantly (5.0% vs. 30.0%, P < 0.05), but the 28-day mortality showed no statistical significance (25.0% vs. 40.0%, P = 0.311). Conclusions Compared to the conventional EGDT methods, fluid resuscitation under the guidance of GEDVI in elderly patients with septic shock with less liquid loading, can achieve better oxygenation and reduce heart failure, shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation and ICU stay, and play an important significant guidance for elderly patients' fluid resuscitation with septic shock.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the co-operative role of HGF and IL-1ra in metastatic processes by interactions between colon cancer cells and stromal cells in their microenvironment.Methods Expression of IL-1α,HGF and c-Met mRNA and proteins were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot.The effect of HGF on metastatic potential was evaluated by proliferation,invasion,and angiogenesis assays using an in vitro system consisting of co-cultured tumor cells and stromal cells.Results IL-1α expression was closely correlated with metastatic potential,and cancer cell-derived IL-1α significantly promoted HGF expression by fibroblasts (P < 0.01).HGF enhanced the migration and proliferation of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs),and angiogenesis (P < 0.01).The high liver-metastatic colon cancer cell line (HT-29),which secretes IL-1 α,significantly enhanced angiogenesis compared to the low liver-metastatic cell line (CaCo-2),which does not produce IL-1 α (P < 0.01).IL-1 ra significantly inhibit migration,proliferation and angiogenesis (P < 0.01).Conclusions Autocrine IL-1α and paracrine HGF enhance the metastatic potential of colon cancer cells;IL-1ra inhibit the metastatic potential of colon cancer cells by blocking IL-1α and HGF signaling pathways.
