Objective To study the intestinal bacterial overgrowth(IBO)and bacterial translocation(BT)in cirrhotic rats,and the effect of microecologics on it.Methods In order to induce cirrhosis model the rats were given 40%CCl4 elaeo-solution by subcutaneous injection,then were treated by microecologics(prebiotics and probiotics).The rats were randomly divided into normal control group(13 rats),cirrhosis model group(10 rats),prebiotics therapy group(19 rats),probiotics therapy group(19 rats)and therapy control group(20 rats).To detect endotoxin,cultivate and count enteric bacilli.mesenteric lymph nodes,tissue of liver and spleen were taken to cultivate bacteria.Results ① the counts of small intestinal bacilli in cirrhosis rats were obviously higher than normal rats(P

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of traditional Chinese herbal medicine (TCM) for nourishing liver and kidney, clearing meridians and removing toxic substances, on the neurobehavioral manifestations and the activity of the dopamine D2 receptor in rat with levodopa-induced dyskinesias (LID). METHODS: The rat model of Parkinson's disease (PD) was established by injecting 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) into right substantia nigra of brain, then, the model of LID in rat was produced by injecting levodopa (LD) and benserazide for 4 weeks. The rats were divided into normal control group, 4-week LD treated group, 4-week LD plus TCM treated group, 8-week LD treated group, and 8-week LD plus TCM treated group, and the effect of the TCM on neurobehavioral manifestations was observed. The radioligand binding assay (RLBA) and Scatchard drawing were used to measure the maximal binding capacity of receptor (Bmax) and equilibrium dissociation constant (KD) of the dopamine D2 receptor in corpora striatum. RESULTS: Compared with the 4-week LD treated group and 8-week LD treated group, TCM could decrease abnormal involuntary movement scores of the rats with LID; the RLBA revealed that the dopamine D2 receptor Bmax significantly increased (P<0.05, P<0.01) and the KD significantly decreased (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: TCM can improve the activity of the dopamine D2 receptor and relieve the symptoms of LID.

Objective To investigate the outcomes of patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) under morphine-fentanyl combined anesthesia. MethodsSeventy-two patients aged 41-64 yr undergoing OPCABG were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 36 each): Ⅰ group morphine + fentanyl (group MF) and Ⅱ group fentanyl (group F). Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, etomidate, and vecuronium.Fentanyl 10-20 μg/kg was given iv when needed. The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation. Anesthesia was maintsined with inhalation of 0.5%-2.0% isoflurane and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium in both groups. Morphine 0.15 mg·kg-1·h-1 + fentanyl 8 μg·kg-1·h-1 were infused during operation in group MF, while in group F fentanyl 10 μg·kg-1·h-1 was infused. Morphine 0.75 mg/h was infused in group MF or fentanyl 10 μg/h in group F for postoperative analgesia after extubation. Recovery from anesthesia was assessed using a nine point (QoR) questionnaire. Pain was measured with VAS score and sedation with Ramsay sedation score ( 1 = fully awake, 6 = asleep, no response to verbal stimulus). The postoperative complications were recorded. ResultsQoR scores were significantly higher in group MF and in group F. The incidence of postoperative febrile reaction was significantly reduced in group MF. There was no significant difference in Ramsay sedation score and other postoperative complications between the 2 groups. ConclusionMorphine-fentanyl combined anesthesia is more beneficial for the prognosis in patients undergoing OPCABG compared with fentanyl combined anesthesia.

OBJECTIVETo explore the mechanism of acupuncture on promoting the restoration of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs).

METHODSThirty SD rats were randomly divided into a blank group, a model group and an acupuncture group, ten rats in each one. The rats in the model group and acupuncture group were treated with colonic anastomosis to establish the model. After successful establishment of the model, the rats in the acupuncture group were treated with acupuncture at bilateral "Zusanli" (ST 36), "Sanyinjiao" (SP 6) and "Taichong" (LR 3) for 15 min, once a day for 10 days. Rats in the model group and blank group were put into the fixator for 15 min at the same time daily. The propulsive rate of small intestine was measured in each group. Colonic tissues were collected to detect c-kit expression by using immunohistochemistry. The nitricoxide (NO) content was measured by nitrate reductase method and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activity was measured by method of L-arginine.

RESULTSCompared with the blank group, the propulsive rate of small intestine in the model group was decreased; NO content was increased; iNOS activity was elevated; cNOS activity was declined; total NOS (tNOS) activity was increased and the counting of c-kit positive ICCs was decreased (all P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the propulsive rate of small intestine in the acupuncture group was increased; NO content was decreased; iNOS activity was reduced; cNOS activity was elevated; NOS activity was decreased and the counting of c-kit positive ICCs was increased (all P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture can regulate NO content and NOS activity in postoperative restoration environment of ICCs, which may participate in the process of acupuncture promoting the restoration of ICCs.

Objective To explore the observation and nursing of the surgery of dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNT) in the function zone of brain.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinic data of 5 patients receiving the surgery for the dysembryoplastic neuroepithelial tumors (DNT) in the function zone of brain was carried out,the clinical nursing experience was summarized.Results The EEG was re-examined 1 week after surgery.4 cases showed roughly normal EEG,one case with rare slow wave.The re-examined EEG 3 months after surgery suggested 3 cases were normal and 2 cases were almost normal.No epilepsia occurred after 6-month follow-up.Conclusions For DNT patients,microsurgical resection of the tumor is effective and enhancing the patients' perioperative observation and nursing has a significant meaning to increase the success of surgery,reduce complications,promote the rehabilitation of patients and improve the quality of life of patients.

The amino acid sequences of the NP,P, M, F,HN and L proteins of the paramyxovirus Tianjin strain were analyzed by using the bioinformatics methods. Phylogenetic analysis based on 6 structural proteins among the Tianjin strain and 25 paramyxoviruses showed that the Tianjin strain belonged to the genus Respirovirus, in the subfamily Paramyxovirinae, and was most closely related to Sendal virus (SeV). Phylogenetic analysis with 14 known SeVs showed that Tianjin strain represented a new evolutionary lineage. Similarities comparisons indicated that Tianjin strain P protein was poorly conserved, sharing only 78.7%-91.9% amino acid identity with the known SeVs, while the L protein was the most conserved, having 96.0%-98.0% amino acid identity with the known SeVs. Alignments of amino acid sequences of 6 structural proteins clearly showed that Tianjin strain possessed many unique amino acid substitutions in their protein sequences, 15 in NP, 29 in P, 6 in M, 13 in F, 18 in HN, and 29 in L. These results revealed that Tianjin strain was most likely a new genotype of SeV. The presence of unique amino acid substitutions suggests that Tianjin strain maybe has a significant difference in biological, pathological, immunological, or epidemiological characteristics from the known SeVs.
