ObjectiveTo compare costs of combined intravenous and inhalation anesthesia (CIIA) and total intravenous anesthesia (TIA) when lower limbs orthopedics (LLO) performed on cerebral palsy children (CPC).MethodsTo analyze data of 49 CPC who received LLO under CIIA and TIA,and compare costs of two anesthetic styles.ResultsTIA had a significantly lower cost than CIIA (P<0.001),and showed a lower incidence of post-operation nausea and vomiting.ConclusionTIA can decrease cost of anesthesia and post-operation nursing compared with CIIA.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of tunica vaginalis flap cover in treatment of recurrent urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF).Methods We reviewed the clinical datas of 25 cases of UCF after urethroplasty of hypospadias from January 2011 to January 2015.The mean age of the patients was 6.2 years(range 1.6-14.0 years).All patients had undergone previous hypospadias repair and at least one previous failed attempt to close the urethrocutaneous fistulae.There were 5 cases of fistula in the coronary sulcus,6 cases of fistula in the penile body and 14 cases of fistula at the junction of penis and scrotum.The diameter of urethrocutaneous fistulae were 3-10 mm.Single fistula was present in all patients.16 cases had undergone UCF repair for two times, 9 cases had undergone UCF repair for more than two times.After closing the fistula with inverting running stitch, a tunica vaginalis flap was mobilized to cover the repair site through a subcutaneous tunnel and the skin closed.Results The mean follow-up time was 2.1 years(range 0.5-4 years).The overall success rate was 96％ (24/25).Penile cosmesis was excellent.There was no evidence of recurrent fistulas or urethral strictures.All parents reported a straight penis when erected, and one patient in whom there was leak from the fistula site because of local wound infection.No postoperative complication was encountered in the testis.The testis was of normal size and position, and the ultrasound findings were normal.Conclusions Repairment of recurrent urethrocutaneous fistulas with a tunica vaginalis flap could be effective regardless of fistula location.The technique is simple to improve the success rate of the repair of UCF effectively and reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

Objective To examine the neural basis of item memory and source memory with fMRI approach.Methods Eight male and eight female healthy fight-handed native Chinese speakers were involved in this study.The item memory and source memory task were conducted with 504 highly frequent Chinese double-character words in the Block-designed experiment.Participants underwent such a double- round procedure as fMRI scanning following study.The fMRI data collected from a GE 1.5T MRI system were analyzed to generate corresponding activation maps for females and males respectively(P20)using statistical parametric mapping software(SPM).Results For females,item memory task activated the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6,the number of activated voxel clusters was 62 or 11 in the left and the right,respectively),source memory more activated the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6/46,the number was 59).For males,item memory activated the right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6/46,the number was 64),source memory activated the bilateral dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6,9 and 40 in the left and the right).Conclusion On the neural basis of item or source memory,there exists dissociation,which is that right dorsolateral prefrontal areas are more activated by item memory while left dorsolateral prefrontal areas by source memory.For the difference of gender,it is suggested that left dorsolateral prefrontal areas(BA6/46)are more activated in females while right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex(BA6/46)more in males.

OBJECTIVETo compare therapeutic effects of acupoint-injection combined with electroacupuncture and oral administration of medicine on chronic pharyngitis.

METHODSThe treatment group of 71 cases were treated by injection of fufangdanshen injectio into Tiantu (CV 22) combined with electroacupuncture at Renying (ST 9), and the control group of 51 cases were treated by oral administration of acetylspiramycin and qingyan tablet.

RESULTSThe cured rate and the total effective rate were 60.5% and 90.1% in the treatment group, and 21.6% and 68.6% in the control group, with significantly differences between the two groups (P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONTherapeutic effect of acupoint-injection combined with electroacupuncture on chronic pharyngitis is superior to that of oral administration of medicine.

OBJECTIVETo discuss the protective effect of Mailuoning injection on ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats and its mechanism.

METHODHealthy male adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the sham operation group, the model group, the edaravone (3 mg x kg(-1)) control group, and Mailuoning high, middle and low-dose groups (4, 2, 1 mL x kg(-1)), with 10 rats in each group, and administered with drugs through tail intravenous injection. The middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) was adopted to establish the rat ischemia/reperfusion model. After the ischemia for 2 h and reperfusion for 24 h, the pathological changes in neurovascular units (NVU) of brain tissues at the ischemia side was observed by HE staining. The expressions of glialfibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and ionized calcium-binding adaptor molecule 1 (Ibal) were detected by the immunohistochemical method. The expressions of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), interleukin 1beta (IL-1beta), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) were detected by the western blotting technique.

RESULTMailuoning injection could significantly improve the pathological changes in cortical penumbra brain tissue UVN of (I/R) rats, reduce the number of GFAP and Ibal positive cells, and significantly decrease the expressions of TNF-alpha, IL-1beta, VCAM-1 and ICAM-1 of brain tissues of I/R rats.

CONCLUSIONMailuoning injection shows an obvious protective effect on UVN of I/R rats. Its mechanism may involve the inhibition of the activation of astrocyte and microglia and the secretion and expression of various inflammatory factors.
