BACKGROUND: α-lipoic acid is named as “nature antioxidant” and “mitochondrial nutrition”. But it is unclear whether α-lipoic acid can be used to protect skeletal muscle with chronic hypoxia exposure, as wel as the relative mechanism. OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of α-lipoic acid on the antioxidant enzymes and oxidative stress in rat skeletal muscle with chronic hypoxia exposure, and to investigate the relative signaling pathway of α-lipoic acid. METHODS: Thirty-six Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: normoxia control group, hypoxia control group, and hypoxia+α-lipoic acid group. Rats in the hypoxia control group were subjected to hypoxia exposure in normobaric hypoxic tent with 11.3% oxygen concentration. Rats in the hypoxia+α-lipoic acid group were induced by adding α-lipoic acid (0.25%) in the normal diet. Al the interventions were lasted for 4 weeks. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: α-lipoic acid in hypoxia could markedly enhance the mitochondrial Sirtuin-3 expression, improve the mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate synthesis activity and membrane potential, up-regulate the mitochondrial state 3 respiratory rate, respiratory control ratio and ratio of phosphorus to oxygen, down-regulate the mitochondrial state 4 respiratory rate and promote and up-regulate the activity of mitochondrial antioxidant enzymes such as manganese superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase and catalase, thus inhibiting mitochondrial H2O2 generation rate and reducing mitochondrial malondialdehyde level. The results indicated that α-lipoic acid could improve the efficiency of energy metabolism of chronic hypoxia skeletal muscle mitochondria and inhibit reactive oxygen generation, and it could inhibit the oxidative stress through improving antioxidant enzyme activity of mitochondria. The protection mechanism of α-lipoic acid on hypoxia skeletal muscle mitochondria may be related to the increasing of mitochondrial state 3 respiratory rate.

Objective To analysis the difference of lymph node cleaning and operative complication rate between thoracoscope surgery and routine thoracotomy on patients with thoracic segment esophageal cancer.Methods A summary of 62 patients with thoracic segment esophageal cancer in Xiaogan Hospital Affiliated to Wuhan University of Science and Technology from August 2012 to August 2014,who were carried with thoracoscope surgery,were randomly chosed and designed as the thoracosc0Pe group,and 62 patients with thoracic segment esophageal cancer over the same period,carried out with routine thoracotomy,were designed as the control group.All the clinical data of the two groups were collected.The total of thoracic lymph node cleaned and the group of thoracic lymph node cleaned were compared between the two groups.The operation time,intraoperative blood loss,chest tube placement time and postoperative hospital duration were collected and compared.All the patients were followed up at least for one year.The incidence of postoperative complications such as pulmonary infection,pneumothorax,atelectasis,recurrent laryngeal nerve injury and anastomotic leakage in the follow-up period were compared.The follow-up time,mortality and recurrence rate were compared.Results The total of thoracic lymph node cleaned(13.36±3.28) and the group of thoracic lymph node cleaned(3.35±0.84) in the thoracoscope group were lower then these of the control group ((14.22± 2.78) and (3.58±0.75)),but with no statistical difference (t =1.57,1.61,P＞ 0.05).The operation time of the thoracoscope group((314.63±38.72) min) were higher then that of the control((217.46±41.54) min),and the intraoperative blood loss ((205.73 ± 114.38) ml),chest tube placement time ((6.83 ± 1.92) d) and postoperative hospital duration((18.47±5.36) d) of the thoracoscope group were remarkably lower then these of the control ((345.72 ±175.62) m1,(10.04±2.41) d,(22.65±6.84) d,t=13.47,5.26,8.20,3.79,P＜0.05).The incidence of pulmonary infection (4.8％ (3/62)) and atelectasis (1.6％ (1/62)) of the thoracoscope group,were evidently lower then these of the control (17.7％ (11/62),1.3％ (7/62),x2 =5.15,4.81,P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in mortality and recurrence ratebetween the two groups during the follow-up period (3.2％ (2/62) vs.8.1％ (5/62),11.3％ (7/62) vs.14.5％ (9/62),x2 =1.36,0.29,P＞0.05).Conclusion There are no significant difference inlymph node cleaning between thoracoscope surgery and routine thoracotomy on patients with thoracic segment esophageal cancer,but thoracoscope surgery can shorten the length of hospital duration,reduce the intraoperative blood loss,chest tube placement time and postoperative complications.So the thoracoscope surgery is a safe and feasible operation for patients with thoracic segment esophageal cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the characteristics and regularity of pediatric adverse drug reactions(ADR)in our hos-pital in order to promote rational drug use of children. METHODS:In retrospective study,378 pediatric ADR cases collected from our hospital during 2010-2014 were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:Among 378 pediatric ADR cases,255 cases were male (67.46%),and 123 cases were female (32.54%);the incidence of ADR in patients aged from one year to three years were the highest (27.51%);most of the cases were induced by intravenous injection,accounting for 87.57%(331 cases);sterile powder for injection was main dosage form (236 cases,62.43%) anti-infective agents were the major cause of ADR in respect of drug types (50.26%),among which cephalothin ranked the first place(43.68%);the lesion of skin and its appendants were the most common clinical manifestation of ADR(56.35%),such as erythra and pruritus. And most of the cases were cured(64.29%)or im-proved(34.66%)after treatment. CONCLUSIONS:The occurrence of ADR are related to multiple factors,such as administration route and drug varieties. Great importance should be attached to indication,route of adiminstration,method,speed and so on,in order to promote rational drug use and reduce the occurrence of ADR.

Purpose To explore the expression of Aurora kinase A (Aurora-A), minichromosome maintenance protein 7 (MCM7) and human papillomavirus type 16 E7 protein (HPV 16 E7) in uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) and to investigate their relationship with clinicopathological factors. Methods Immunohistochemical method was employed on 20 cases of low-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN1) , 30 cases of high-grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN2+3), 40 cases of CSCC, and 20 ca-ses of chronic cervicitis. Results (1) Aurora-A localized in the cytoplasm and nucleus. MCM7 protein positive staining localized in the nucleus. In the nucleus, and (or) the cytoplasm appeared brown particles positive for HPV 16 E7. (2) The expression of Aurora-A, MCM7 and HPV 16 E7 were higher in the group of CIN2+3 and CSCC than that in the group of chronic cervicitis or CIN1 ( P<0. 0083). (3) In cervical cancer, the expression of Aurora-A, HPV 16 E7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 657). The expression of MCM7, HPV 16 E7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 616). The expression of Aurora-A, MCM7 showed positive correlation (P<0. 001, rs =0. 597). (4) Aurora-A expression levels was associated with tumor cell differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P<0. 05). MCM7 expression levels was associated with tumor cell differentiation and clinical stage (P<0. 05). HPV 16 E7 expression had no correlation with patient age, tumor size, tumor differentiation, clinical stage and lymph node metastasis (P>0. 05). Conclusion Aurora-A, MCM7 and HPV 16 E7 expression are gradually increased with disease progres-sion, and closely related to the occurrence and development of cervical cancer, they are expected to be early diagnosis, early treatment of biological indicators of cervical cancer.

Objective To conclude the diagnostic methodology of unroofed coronary sinus (UCS) by two-dimensional echocardiography(2DE). Methods By analyzing the echocardiographic results of 16 UCS patients who were diagnosed by 2DE and confirmed by operation, the diagnostic methodology of UCS by 2DE was summarized. Results Sixteen patients with UCS were involved in this study. Among them, 12 cases were diagnosed as complete UCS,others were partial UCS(PUCS). Twelve patients were complicated with persistence of left superior vena cava (LSVC) that was connected to left atrium (LA) through UCS. All of preoperative diagnosis conducted by 2DE were finally confirmed to be consistent with the results of operation. With the analysis of acquired echo images,key points of diagnosis were concluded as follow: 1) normal coronary sinus (CS) could not be detected in the routine 2DE views referring CS. PUCS showed partial absence of CS roof,while complete UCS displayed as total absence of CS. 2)Inter-atrial shunt would definitely be found in UCS and the opening to right atrium must be coronary sinus orifice. The shunt direction was depended on the combined cardiac malformations. 3) With the occurrence of UCS,LSVC would be in junction with LA through UCS. 4) The inter-atrial shunt resulted in cardiac morphologic and hemodynamic changes. Conclusions Better understanding of the anatomic, morphological and hemodynamic characteristics of UCS would greatly contribute to accurate diagnosis on UCS.
