Objective:To compare the efficacy of individualized PEEP determined by lung electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) during lung-protective ventilation strategies in the patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods:Sixty patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰor Ⅱ, with body mass index of 18.5-28.0 kg/m 2, undergoing elective surgery with general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, were selected.Lung-protective ventilation strategy was applied in supine position after general anesthesia.The peak value of PEEP did not exceed 10 cmH 2O, with an increment/decrement of 2 cmH 2O for titration.The corresponding Cdyn value and lung EIT data were collected during titration.The patients were divided into 2 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table method: titration first increased and then decreased group (group A) and titration first decreased and then increased group (group B). The determination method of individualized PEEP: Cdyn method was the PEEP corresponding to the maximum Cdyn value; EIT method was obtained through PV500 PC software analysis.The level and success rate of individualized PEEP determined by the Cdyn and EIT methods were compared, and the ICC consistency analysis of the determined individualized PEEP was performed. Results:Compared with the Cdyn method, the success rate of individualized PEEP determined by EIT method was significantly increased, and the level of individualized PEEP was decreased in the two group ( P<0.05). In group A, the individualized PEEP titrated by the EIT and Cdyn methods showed good agreement (the ICC value of the increment-Cdyn and increment-EIT methods was 0.761, P<0.05; the ICC value of the decrement-Cdyn and decrement-EIT methods was 0.763, P<0.05). In group B, the individualized PEEP titrated by the EIT and Cdyn methods showed good agreement (the ICC value of the increment-Cdyn and increment-EIT methods was 0.809, P<0.05; the ICC value of the decrement-Cdyn and decrement-EIT methods was 0.797, P<0.05). Conclusion:The agreement between the individualized PEEP determined by lung EIT method and Cdyn method during lung-protective ventilation is good in the patients undergoing general anesthesia, and the success rate of EIT method is higher, and the level of individualized PEEP is lower.

Objective To explore the relations between pulse pressure and LDL-C for elderly patients with hyperten-sion. Methods A total of 451 elderly patients with hypertension were selected and divided into four groups. Group A was 65 to 69 years of age, group B was 70 to74 years of age, group C was 75 to 79 years of age, and group D was ≥80 years of age. They were also divided into four groups according to PP levels: PP1 group ≤40 mm Hg, PP2 group 41 to 60 mm Hg, PP3 group 61 to 80 mm Hg, and PP4 group>80 mm Hg. They were divided into LDL-C group 1 (≥2.6 mmol/L) and LDL-C group 2 (<2.6 mmol/L) according to their LDL-C levels. Distribution of different age groups in four PP groups and the effects of different levels of LDL-C on pulse pressure were analyzed. Results (1) The propor-tions of PP2 group among the four age groups were 59.41%, 48.84%, 55.45% and 51.67%. The proportions of PP4 a-mong the four age groups were 4.95%, 3.88%, 3.96% and 7.50%. (2) Compared with PP1 group, the proportion of LDL-C ≥2.6 mmol/L in PP2 group, PP3 group and PP4 group was significantly increased. Conclusion (1) PP levels in different ages groups are concentrated on 41-60 mmHg. Among elderly patients with hypertension>80 mmHg, the pro-portion of patients with advanced age (≥years of age) is relatively higher. (2) LDL-C is the risk factor of increased pulse pressure for elderly patients with hypertension.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of mitochondrial membrane permeability transition pore (MPT)-opened agent diamide and MPT-closed agent cyclosporin A on arsenic trioxide (As(2)O(3))-induced apoptosis in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cell line NB4.
METHODSNB4 cells were treated with As(2)O(3) alone or in combination with diamide or cyclosporin A in different concentrations. Cell apoptosis was assessed by the morphological observation, Annexin-V assay, distribution of cellular DNA contents and genomic DNA electrophoresis. The mitochondrial transmembrane potentials (DeltaPsim) were detected by flow cytometry according to the intensity of rhodamine 123 uptake in cells.
RESULTSBoth diamide and cyclosporin A significantly enhanced As(2)O(3)-induced apoptosis in NB4 cells. The DeltaPsim collapse induced by As(2)O(3) was also enforced by combined treatment with diamide or cyclospo-rin A. 1 micromol/L As(2)O(3) alone treatment for 72 hours led to DeltaPsim disruption in 27.9% of cells, while combined treatment of As(2)O(3) and diamide or cyclosporin A increased DeltaPsim disruption cells to 59.7% and 42.2%, respectively.
CONCLUSIONSAs(2)O(3)-induced DeltaPsim disruption possibly involves with thiol oxidation or crosslink of important components especially ANT-related molecules.
