ObjectiveTo observe the different mode of administration of lidocaine on hemodynamic effects during self-retaining laryngoscope.Methods75 adult patients,underwent selective operations of removal and biopsy of the vocal polype,epiglottis or laryngeal tumor via self-retaining laryngoscope under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into three groups,with 25 cases for each.Group Ⅰ was the control group; Group Ⅱ was the throat spraying group;Group Ⅲ was the intravenous drug group.The incidence of irritating cough and the changes of mean arterial pressure(MAP) and hear rate(HR) were observed during operations.ResultsThe incidence of irritating cough in group Ⅱ was lower than in group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).MAP,HR in group Ⅱ was also lower than that in group Ⅰ and Ⅲ during extubation( all P ＜0.05).However there were no significant differences on MAP,HR between group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ during extubation( all P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionLidocaine spraying on larynx could alleviate irritating cough and had significant preventive effect on cardiovascular response,and the effect in this method was superior to intravenous injection.

Objective The aim of this article is to study the clinical features, image, electroencephalogram and gene mutation of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with MELAS and to improve understanding of the disease. Methods Clinical data was collected from 12 MELAS cases. Their clinical symptoms, head imageological result,electroencephalo-gram and gene mutation were analyzed. Results The average onset age was 28 years old. The main manifestations of 12 patients were epilepsy(66.7%), stroke-like episodes(50.0%), mental behavious disorder and decrease of perceive (41.7%),diabetes or abnormal glucose tolerance(41.7%), hearing impairment(41.7%). The imaging results showed long T1, long T2 and high signals on DWI. The nidus involved occipital lobe, temporal lobe, parietal lobe most. Five of six cases undergoing MRS imaging had large lactate peak at 1.33 ppm. There were 9 cases carrying mtDNA A3243G muta-tion. Conclusion The clinical presentation of MELAS is highly variable without any obvious specificity on MRI and EEG. Large lactate peak on MRS may indicate the disease. Most patients carry A3243G mutation.

Aim The effect of capsule bushenyanshou (BSYS), a compound of traditional Chinesemedicine, on the immunopharmacological activities of mice was investigated. MethodsThe indexes of immunopharmacological activity, such as the clearance rate of charcoalparticles, the lymphocyte transformation and the content of serum hemolysin, were mea-sured. Results Capsule BSYS (400, 800 mg?kg-1, qd ? 12) markedly increased theclearance rate of iv charcoal particles and 1he lymphocyte transformation stimulated invivo by PHA in mice. In hydrocortisone -treated mice(15 mg? kg-1, sc, qd ? 5), capsuleBSYS significantly enhanced the content of serum hemolysin and the weights of spleenand thymus. The results also demonstrated capsule BSYS performed a sighted inhibition ofthe delayed type hypersensitivity in mice. Conclusion Capsule BSYS has the capacity ofimmunological intensification and regulation.

OBJECTIVE To reverse multidrug resistance(MDR)to chemotherapeutic agents in human laryngeal cancer cells(LSC-1/TAX)by knockdown the expression of P-glycoprotein(P-GP), the MDR1 gene product, using RNA interference(RNAi)technique.METHODS LSC-1/TAX cells were transfected with lentivirus vector that contains the shRNA construct targeting MDR1 mRNA.The drug resistance was measured by MTT assay in vitro, and sensitivity of the laryngeal cancer cells to various anti-neoplasm agents was quantified in vivo.The knockdown of MDR1 gene expression was assessed by immunocytochemistry in vitro and vivo.RESULTS Multidrug resistance phenotype in human laryngeal cancer cell line (LSC-1/TAX)was reversed in vitro.Tumor growth assay in vivo revealed a reverse of MDR in the laryngeal cancer cells.Immunocytochemistry showed that P-GP expression was significantly inhibited.CONCLUSION MDR1 shRNA lentivirus vectors can significantly inhibited MDR1 expression.Inhibition of MDR1 gene expression conferred an increased sensitivity of drug-resistant in laryngeal cancer cells to conventional chemotherapeutic agents.

Objective To evaluate two methods of selecting region of interest (ROI)to measure the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC)of breast lesions on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI).Methods MRI findings (including plain MRI,dynamic contrast-en-hanced MRI and DWI)of 5 3 cases with breast mass confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Two observers independ-ently measured the ADC of breast lesions by the method of fixed ROI with the size of 10 mm2 ±2 mm2 and the routine method.The mean ADCs of benign and malignant breast lesions were compared between two methods and two observers by using paired samples T-test.The values of ADC diagnosing breast cancer were compared between the two methods by using the receiver operating charac-teristic (ROC)curve.Results Among 62 lesions of 53 cases,33 lesions were malignant,and 29 lesions were benign.For the first observer,the mean ADCs of benign and malignant lesions were (1.647±0.359)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.136±0.227)×10-3 mm2/s measured by the fixed ROI method,respectively.The area under the ROC was 0.897.The mean ADCs of benign and malignant le-sions were (1.603±0.415)×10-3mm2/s and (1.251±0.237)×10-3 mm2/s measured by the routine method,respectively.The area under the ROC was 0.768.For another observer,the mean ADCs of benign and malignant lesions were (1.647±0.357)× 10-3 mm2/s and (1.130±0.250)×10-3 mm2/s measured by the fixed ROI method,respectively.The mean ADCs of benign and malignant lesions were (1.590± 0.390)×10-3 mm2/s and (1.250±0.237)×10-3 mm2/s measured by the routine method,respec-tively.There was no significant difference for the mean ADC of benign lesions between the two methods.However,there was sig-nificant difference for the mean ADC of malignant lesions between the two methods.The diagnostic value of ADC measured by the fixing method was better than that of the routine method (P=0.008).There were no significant differences for ADCs of benign and malignant lesions between the two observers.Conclusion DWI has an important value for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant breast lesions.The measurement of ADC by the fixed and smaller ROI is better than that by the routine ROI for dis-tinguishing malignant from benign breast lesions.

AIM:To explore the expression and possible function of histamine H3 receptor (H3R) in striated myogenesis and the differentiated C2C12 cells.METHODS: H3R and myogenesis late marker myosin heavy chain (MHC) were detected at mRNA and protein levels during C2C12 myogenesis.H3R antagonist ciproxifan was added and the expression of the myogenesis early marker desmin, intermediate markers myogenin and MHC was detected.Differentia-ted myoblasts were loaded with Fluo-4 calcium indicator dye and the effect of R-( a)-methylhistamine ( RMeHA) on the cy-toplasmic calcium concentration was determined under the 200 mA electrical stimulation.RESULTS: The expression of H3R and MHC was increased during myogenesis.Ciproxifan incubation had no influence on the 3 striated myogenesis mar-kers (P>0.05).In C2C12 myoblasts, RMeHA (10 nmol/L~100 μmol/L) effectively diminished cytoplasmic calcium peak when the cells were electrically paced (P<0.05).The best inhibitory effect of RMeHA was observed at dose of 100 nM for 10 min and 20 min, which was higher than that for 5 min (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: H3R might have little effect on the myogenic differentiation, but diminishes cytoplasmic calcium peak of the differentiated myoblasts under electri-cal stimulation.

AIM: To investigate the influence of He-Ne laser on connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) expression and collagen formation of fibroblast in filtration site after trabeculectomy in rabbit, and to discuss the mechanism for preventing scar formation with He-Ne laserin vivo.METHODS: The upper nasal limbus area next to the upper rectus muscle in right eyes Received 10 minutes He-Ne laser irradiation (200mW/cm2) every day for three days, the left eyes served as control. Twenty-four hours after the last irradiation, both eyes of the rabbits were took trabeculectomy surgery. The expressions of CTGF in the filtration area were tested on the 7th, 14th and 28th day after surgery and collagen density was tested on the 14th and 28th day after surgery. Each of the time point had 7 rabbits. RESULTS: The expression of CTGF was lower than that of the control group's on the 7th and 14th day after trabeculectomy surgery (P=0.01, P=0.005). When examined on the 14th and 28th day, the collagen density of irradiation group were significantly lower than that of the control group's (P=0.013, P=0.01).CONCLUSION: Pretreating the filtration area with 200mW/cm2 He-Ne laser may be helpful in preventing scar formation after trabeculectomy in rabbit, possibly due to downregulation of the expression of CTGF and collagen synthesis in fibroblasts. He-Ne laser may be developed into a new scar preventing method in filtration surgery.

Objective Heart transplantation is an effective treatment of end-stage heart diseases and extending the time of donor heart preservation helps to make up for the shortage of donor hearts. This study was to investigate whether high-pressured mixed gas ( HPMG) of carbon monoxide and oxygen could prolong the time of donor heart preservation and its mechanisms. Methods Forty-eight C57BL/6 male mice aged 4-6 weeks were randomly divided in-to four groups of equal number:control ( the donor heart isolated but not transplanted) , immediate transplantation ( the donor heart transplanted right after isolated) , HTK-preservation ( the donor heart preserved in histidine-tryptophan-ketoglutarate solution for 24 hours after isolated, and HPMG preservation ( the donor heart preserved in an HPMG chamber with the oxygen partial pressure of 3200 hPa and carbon monoxide partial pressure of 800 hPa for 24 hours after isolated) .Another 36 recipient mice aged 6-8 weeks were randomly assigned to receive the donor heart immediately after harvested (n=12), preserved in HTK solution (n=12), or preserved in HPMG (n=12).At 2 hours after transplantation, the status of heart re-beating and cardiac function were compared among different groups of recipient mice.At 24 hours, tissues were taken from the transplanted hearts for examination of pathologic changes by HE stai-ning, detection of the apoptosis of cardiac cells by TUNEL, and determination of the expressions of microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3 -Ⅱ(LC3-Ⅱ) and B cell lymphoma/leukemia-2 (Bcl-2) by Western blot. Resul ts The re-beating rates of the imme-diately transplanted and HPMG-preserved hearts were significantly higher than that of the HTK-preserved ones (P<0.05).At 2 hours after transplantation, the cardiac function scores were 2.5 (2.0-2.9), 0.8 (0.5-1.0), and 4.5 (4.0-4.5) in the immediate implantation, HPMG-preservation and HTK-preservation groups respectively, with statistically significant differences between any two groups (P<0.05).The expressions of LC3-Ⅱand Bcl-2 were 2.06 ±0.29 and 0.87 ±0.18 in the HPMG-preserved heart recipients and 1.24 ±0.20 and 2.07 ±0.32 in the immediately transplanted heart recipients, both higher than 0.13 ±0.03 and 0.19 ±0.02 in the controls and 0.16 ±0.06 and 0.26 ±0.08 in the HTK-preserved heart recipients (P<0.05), the Bcl-2 higher in the HTK-pre-served heart recipients than in the controls (P<0.05), and the LC3-Ⅱ expression higher in the HPMG-preserved heart recipients than in the immediately transplanted heart recipients (P<0.05).HE staining showed that cell edema and inflammatory cell infiltration were more obvious in the HPMG-preserved heart recipients than in the controls and immediately transplanted heart recipients but less obvious than in the HTK-preserved heart recipients.The rate of cell apoptosis was dramatically increased in the HPMG-and HTK-pre-served heart recipients ([5.04 ±1.77]%and [26.72 ±5.23]%) in comparison with the controls ([1.08 ±0.56]%) (P<0.01) and immediately transplanted heart recipients ([2.13 ±1.71]%) (P<0.01) but decreased in the HPMG as compared with the HTK-preserved heart recipients (P<0.01). Conclusion High-pressured mixed gas preservation can reduce cold ischemia-reperfu-sion injury of the donor heart, which may be associated with its promotion of autophagy, provision of energy to cells, and apoptosis of cardiocytes in the donor heart.

Objective To investigate the value of prospectively electrocardiogram (ECG)-triggered high-pitch coronary computed tomography angiography at 70 kV and 30 mL contrast medium with Stellar detector dual-source CT.Methods 60 patients with the BMI<24.9 kg/m2 were randomized into two groups:Group A (30 cases)with the tube voltage of 70 kV and 30 mL contrast medi-um.Group B (30 cases)with the tube voltage of 100 kV and 50 mL contrast medium.All the patients were performed with a Stellar detector dual-source CT using a prospectively ECG triggered high-pitch spiral technique.The images of Group A were reconstructed with SAFIRE technique,while Group B were with FBP technique.The objective image quality includes CT attenuation,SNR, CNR.And radiation dose was also calculated.The subjective was evaluated by 4-scale point.Independent sample t test was used.Re-sults There was no difference for subjective image quality between the groups,A:(3.38±0.942),B:(3.50±0.682),(t=-0.562, P >0.05).The CT attenuation of the 70 kV group were higher than that of the 100 kV group for all the segments(P <0.01).The SNR and the CNR have no statistically significant difference between the groups (P >0.05).Compared with the 100 kV group,the radiation dose of the 70 kV group was reduced by 76.5% (A:0.19±0.023 mSv,B:0.81±0.101 mSv,P <0.01).Conclusion Using 70 kV with 30 mL contrast medium in Stellar detector dual-source CT coronary angiography for the patients with a normal BMI could obtain qualified diagnostic image with low radiation dose and contrast medium.
