Following proper measures were suggested:sterilization, isolation,nursing of intubation and nanagement of respiratory tract

Objective To investigate effect of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH)on oxidative stress and renal function in elderly patients undergoing gastrectomy of stomach neoplasms. Methods 90 elderly patients undergoing radical surgery were randomly divided into LMWH group (Ⅰ group,n=45)and control group (Ⅱ group,n=45). Patients inⅠ group received a subcutaneous injection of LMWH(100 u/kg,1/d)from the time before anesthesia induction to postoperative 5 days,and patients in Ⅱ group were given equal volume of saline. Venous blood samples were collected to determine level of malondialdehyde(MDA),aldose reductase(AR)activity level,superoxide dismutase(SOD)activity level,catalase (CAT)activity level,creatinine(Cr)and blood urea nitrogen(BUN)before anesthesia induction(T0 ),at the end of the surgery(T1 ),on postoperative 1 day(T2),3 days(T3)and 5 days(T4)respectively;urine specimen were also collected to measured albumin(Alb)and N-acetyl-beta-D-amino glycosidase enzymes(NAG)at the same time points. Results There were obvious statistical differences in MDA,AR,SOD and CAT at different time points by intra-group comparison (P<0.05 ). MDA and AR rose first and then fell in two groups,and both reached the peak at T2 ,whereas SOD and CAT had the opposite trends. There were obvious statistical differences in MDA,AR,SOD and CAT at T1 ~T3 (P<0.05 ). MDA and AR inⅠgroup at T1 ,T2 and T3 was lower than those in groupⅡ(P<0.05 ),whereas SOD and CAT inⅠgroup at T1 ,T2 and T3 were significantly higher than those in group Ⅱ(P<0.05). Cr and BUN of both groups were found no significant statistical difference within the group and between groups(P>0.05).Alb/Cr of both groups at T1 and T2 were significantly higher than those at T0 (P<0.05 ),while Alb/Cr in Ⅰ group at T1 was obviously lower than Ⅱgroup(P<0.05 ).NAG/Cr in both groups at T1 ,T2 and T3 were significantly higher than those at T0 (P<0.05 ),while NAG/Cr inⅡ group at T4 was still higher than that at T0 (P<0.05 ),and NAG/Cr inⅠgroup at T1 ~T4 was obviously lower thanⅡgroup (P<0.05 ). MDA and AR in both groups at T1 ,T2 were positively correlated with Alb/Cr and NAG/Cr respectively(P<0.05 ),whereas SOD and CAT in both groups at T1 ,T2 were negatively correlated with Alb/Cr and NAG/Cr respectively(P<0.05 ). Conclusion Oxidative stress reaction resulted from radical surgery of elderly patients is associated with perioperative renal damage. LMWH could reduce oxidative stress in elderly patients,and alleviate the kidney damage,as well as protect the renal function.

ObjectiveTo study the impact of type 2 diabetes mellitus on endothelium of great saphenous vein in patients with coronary heart disease.MethodsPatients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting were selected, 20 with type 2 diabetes mellitus (experimental group) and another 20 patients without (control group).The rings of great saphenous vein in I cm length were taken from those patients and then divided into 3 segments.The structure of endothelium was evaluated by the microscope and the changes of venous tone were measured in organ chamber at 37C with a constant supply of oxygen.Venous vasoconstriction was induced by phenylephrine (10-5 mol/L) and vasodilatation induced by nitroglycerin or acetylcholine (10-9 ～ 10-5 mol/L).ResultsMore damages of ultrastructure of the endothelium of saphenous vein were found in experimental group than in control group.There were no significant differences regarding the venous tone between the two groups (P ＞0.05) when vasoconstriction induced by phenylephrine and vasodilatation by nitroglycerin.However, the vasodilatation induced by acetylcholine was significantly decreased in experimental group than in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Type 2 diabetes mellitus can aggravate the damage of endothelium of saphenous vein in patients with coronary artery disease.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that a certain dose of acidic fibroblast growth factor can promote skeletal muscle satelite cel proliferationin vitro. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of transfection with acidic fibroblast growth factor by electroporation on growth, proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle satelite cels. METHODS: Skeletal muscle satelite cels were cultured and purified, and then transfected with plasmid pSectag-GFP-aFGF by electroporation. The expression of green fluorescent protein was observed under fluorescence microscope, and the transfection efficiency was calculated. After transfection, cel cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry to draw the growth curve of skeletal muscle satelite cels. Western blot assay was employed to measure protein level of acidic fibroblast growth factor. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Immunocytochemistry detection: The skeletal muscle satelite cels were positive for a-sarcomeric actin. (2) Transfection efficiency: At 12 hours after transfection with pSectag-aFGF, several cels showed green fluorescence, and the green fluorescent expression reached the peak at 72-96 hours after transfection with a positive rate of about 90%. (3) Cel cycle: After electrotransfection, the proportion of cels at S phase in the electroporation group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). (4) Cel growth curve: At 3 days after electrotransfection, the cels entered logarithmic growth phase but the proliferation slowed down at 5 days. (5) Differentiation capacity: There were fewer myotubes and aging cels in the electroporation group than the control group. (6) Western blot assay: Acidic fibroblast growth factor protein was highly expressed in the cels transfected with target gene detected by western blot assay. These findings indicate that by using electroporation method, acidic fibroblast growth factor can be transferred into skeletal muscle satelite cels and have a high-efficiency and long-term expression, which can promote the proliferation of skeletal muscle satelite cels and inhibit formation of myotubes.

Objective To understand genomic copy number variations (CNVs) and ascertain karyotype for a 46,X0, + der(?) fetus, and investigate possibility and superiority of array-based comparative genomic hybridization (array-CGH ) in clinical cytogenetic diagnosis. Methods G-banded chromosome analysis was carried out. The whole genome of the fetus was scanned and analysed by array-CGH. The results of array-CGH were confirmed by RT-qPCR. Results G-banded chromosome analysis showed that the fetal karyotype was 46,X0, +der(?). Array-CGH revealed the derivative chromosome as Y chromosome without CNVs. A total number of 118 submicroscopic CNVs were identified. Comparable results between array-CGH and RT-qPCR were obtained for 9 novel CNVs. Conclusion Comparing with conventional cytogenetic analysis, array-CGH is of high resolution, high-throughput and high accuracy, which provides a technical platform for accurate detection of submicroscopic chromosomal aberrations.

AIM: To observe the effects of cimetidine(Cim) on platelet function and thrombosis. METHODS: After incubated with Cim in vitro , rat platelets were activated with ADP or thrombin. The platelet aggregation, platelet malondialdehyde(MDA) formation, platelet intracellular free calcium([Ca 2+ ] i), and thromboxane B 2 (TXB 2) were measured. The effects of Cim on electric-induced thrombosis in rat carotid artery were examined. RESULTS: Cim potentiated ADP induced platelet aggregation , increased the thrombin induced [Ca 2+ ] i and MDA formation, decreased TXB 2. Also, Cim shortened the duration of electric-stimulated occlution time in rat carotid artery. CONCLUSION: Cim increased platelet function and accelerated thrombosis.

Objective To investigate the polymorphisms of-139 and -336 nucleotides in dendritic cells specific intercellular adhesion molecule-3-grabbing nonintegrin (DC-SIGN) promoter region in context of HIV susceptibility, infection routines and HIV/AIDS progress. Methods Polymorphisms of -139 and -336 nucleotides in DC-SIGN were examined in 160 HIV-positive subjects and 178 healthy controls;the Spearman test was performed to analyze their associations with HIV infection status. Results In 160 HIV-positive subjects, there were 92 (57.5%) with-139C, 68 (42.5%) with-139T, 29 (18.1%) with-336C and 131 (81.9%) with -336T. The frequencies of -139T/C and -336T/C in HIV-positive subjects were similar to those in the healthy controls (χ2 =0. 121 and 1. 754, P ＞0.05 ). No differences were found in the distribution of -139T/C or -336T/C in HIV-positive subjects infected via sex intercourse or intravenous drug (χ2 =0. 435 and 0. 103, P ＞ 0. 05 ). -139C was usually companied with -336C ( r = 0. 359, P ＜ 0.01 ).-139T (27.9%) were more frequently presented in patients with CD4 +T cells ≤50 cells/μL than -139C( 23.0%, χ2 = 4.055, P ＜ 0.05 ). -139T/C and -336T/C were not related to HIV RNA levels ( t = - 0. 643and - 1. 637, P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Genotype -139C in DC-SIGN promoter region usually coexist with -336C. Polymorphisms of -139 and -336 are not related to HIV susceptibilities or HIV infection routes.-139T genotype may be related to serious depletion on CD4 + T cells.
