Objective To explore the preventive effect of feedforward control on unexpected extubation in patients with cerebral apoplexy.Methods The clinical data of 42 cerebral apoplexy patients during May 2010 and May 2011 were retrospectively reviewed to find out the risk factors of unexpected extubation.The feedforward control was used to manage 49 cerebral apoplexy patients during June 2011 to June 2012 to control the risk factors.The incidence of unexpected extubation was compared between pre-and post-use of feedforward control. Results After application of feedforward control,the incidences of unexpected extubation of gastric tube,deep vein tubes and urinary tubes reduce were significantly decreased compared to pre-use of feedforward control(all P<0.01).Conclusion The feedforward control on patients with cerebral apoplexy is effective in reducing the incidence of unexpected extubation and ensuring the intubation safety.

AlM:To observe the effects of double incision combined surgery of single - stab trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification.
METHODS: Totally 28 cases ( 30 eyes ) with glaucoma and cataract undertook the modified combined surgery of single - stab trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification. After traditional phacoemulsification, cut the bulbar conjunctiva and Tenons capsule from the 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock, then puncture into the anterior chamber in 2mm behind the corneal limbus with 3mm tunnel knife, shaping a 3mm wide, 1/3-1/4 thickness scleral tunnel. Getting into the trabecular tunnel, bite off 3 pieces of trabecular tissue about 1mm × 1mm size. The changes in the imtraocular pressure ( lOP ) and the visual acuity before and after the surgery as well as filtering bleb ( OCT confirmed) and complications were carefully observed in 3-6mo postoperatively.
RESULTS: The postoperative visual acuity in 1wk postoperatively less than 0. 1 was found in 3 eyes, from 0. 1 to 0. 3 was found in 6 eyes,from 0. 3 to 0. 6 in 13 eyes, from 0. 6 to 0. 8 in 8 eyes. One eye had malignant glaucoma, and 8 eyes had cornea edema and slightly fibrin exudation in the pupil area; ln all cases maintained function conjunctival blebs of filtering, OCT confirmed this. lOP remained normal in 28 eyes in 3-6mo follow up, lOP of 2 other eyes could be controlled by anti-glaucoma eye drops.
CONCLUSlON:Double incision combined surgery of single- stab trabeculectomy and phacoemulsification is effective and safe, reduces the postoperative complications and is worthy of promotion.

Abstract?AlM: To investigate the effect of zebularine ( Zeb ) loaded Poly ( ethylene glycol ) - block - poly ( ε -caprolactone) methyl ether ( MePEG-PCL) nanoparticles ( NPs) on the viability, attachment, and apoptosis of in vitro cultured lens epithelial cells ( LECs) .?METHODS: In vitro cultured infant human lens tissue HLE B-3 immortalized cells were distributed randomly divided into six groups. Each group was administered with free Zeb 50μmol/L ( ZebF1 group ) , 100μmol/L ( ZebF2 group) , Zeb -loaded MePEG-PCL NPs 50μmol/L ( ZebNP1 group) , Zeb -loaded MePEG-PCL NPs 100μmol/L ( ZebNP2 group) , MePEG-PCL empty NPs( NPs group) or blank medium (group C) respectively. A tetrazolium dye assay ( MTT) test and modified MTT test were performed to determine cell viability and cell attachment. DNA ladder was used to detect the cell apoptosis.?RESULTS: Determined by MTT colorimetric method:Cell proliferation rate of LECs were suppressed by all Zeb administration groups in a concentration-time dependent manner (P<0. 05). Compared with the free Zeb groups, the viability of LECs were suppressed more effectively by the same dose of Zeb loaded MePEG-PCL NPs after 24, 48, 96h ( P < 0. 05 ). Determined by improved MTT colorimetric method: The attachment of LECs were decreased in all Zeb administration groups, Zeb loaded MePEG-PCL NPs had better effect on suppressing the attachment of LECs than the free Zeb groups with same dose (P<0. 05). The DNA ladder confirmed that after administration of 96h, group C, NPs group and ZebF1 group showed no DNA fragment, however the DNA fragment were performed in ZebF2, ZebNP1, ZebNP2 groups and displays the trend of ZebNP2> ZebNP1>ZebF2 (P<0. 05).?CONCLUSlON: Zeb loaded MePEG-PCL NPs had better effect on suppressing the viability and attachment of in vitro cultured LECs than the free Zeb groups , as well as enhancing the apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the maximum-tolerated dose (MTD) of cisplatin in docetaxel,cisplatin,and fluorouracil (TPF) induction chemotherapy followed by intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and concomitant chemotherapy as well as the safety and short-term efficacy of TPF induction chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC).Methods Thirtythree patients with locally advanced NPC were enrolled in this trial.The MTD of cisplatin was determined by dose escalation study,and the short-term efficacy and toxicities were evaluated.Results When the doses of docetaxel and fluorouracil were 60 mg/m2 d1 and 550 mg/m2 d1-5,respectively,the MTD of cisplatin was 65 mg/m2 d1.In this regimen (repeated every 3 weeks),grade 3-4 toxicities included neutropenia (67％),febrile neutropenia (9％),diarrhea (21％),and oral mucositis (6％).Except those who experienced dose-limited toxicity,other patients completed the whole treatment schedule.After TPF induction chemotherapy,the overall response rate was 97％,and the complete response rate was 21％.Conclusions In the endemic areas of NPC,induction chemotherapy with docetaxel (60 mg/m2 d1),cisplatin (65 mg/m2 d1),and fluorouracil (550 mg/m2 d1-5),which is repeated every 3 weeks,is proved safe and effective for Asian patients with locally advanced NPC.

OBJECTIVEConditioned taste preference (CTP) is a taste learning reflex by which an animal learns to prefer a substance which tastes not well and has been studied with much interest in recent years. However, the neural substrates of CTP are less known. This study aimed to determine the possible neural path- ways of CTP and whether serum leptin level and the leptin receptor (OB-Rb) in the hind brain are involved following CTP formation.

METHODSWe established CTP of quinine in rats with a 2-bottle preference test. The serum leptin concentrations were detected, the expression of c-fos in the rat brain was tested to determine the nuclei in relation with establishment of CTR Finally, the OB-Rb mRNA expression was examined by RT-qPCR assay in parabrachial nucleus (PBN) and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST) of the hind brain.

RESULTSCompared with control group, the level of serum leptin was higher in the CTP group (4.58 ± 0.52 vs 1.67 ± 0.25 µg/L, P < 0.01); increased c-fos positive cells were found in the anterior hypothalamus (AH, 221.75 ± 4.96 vs. 178.50 ± 6.63 cells/mm², P < 0.05), the basal lateral amygdala (BLA, 70.75 ± 6.17 vs 56.50 ± 3.62 cells/ mm², P < 0.05) and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NST, 41.25 ± 1.32 vs 32.50 ± 1.02 cells/mm², P < 0.05). But in ventromedial nucleus of the hypothalamus (VMH, 20.75 ± 2.73 vs 38.5 ± 1.54 per 1 mm², P < 005), PBN (21.50 ± 2.24 vs 36.25 ± 1.49 cells/mm², P < 0.05) and the central nucleus of the amygdala (CeA, 22.25 ± 1.53 vs 35.50 ± 2.11 cells/mm², P < 0.05), the number of c-fos positive cells was decreased in the CTP group. In addition, we found OB-Rb mRNA expression in PBN of CTP group rats was higher than that of control group (0.95 ± 0.055 vs 0.57 ± 0.034, P < 0.05), while there was no significant difference of OB-Rb mRNA expression in NST between the two groups.

CONCLUSIONNuclei AH, BLA, NST, VMH, PBN and CeA participate in the formation of CTP. Leptin and its receptor in PBN may be involved in the formation and maintenance of CTP.
