Objective To study the relationship between intradialytic hypertension (IDH) and inflammatory factors in patients with maintenance hemodialysis.Methods Forty maintenance hemodialysis patients were involved,including 20 patients with IDH (IDH group) and 20 patients without IDH(non-IDH group) during hemodialysis.All of them had no sign of acute infections or other progressive disease.The levels of C-reactive protein (CRP),interleukin (IL)-1 β,IL-6,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before hemodialysis and 1,2,4 h after hemodialysis.The correlation of hypertension to CRP,IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α was analyzed.Results The levels of CRP,IL-1β,IL-6,TNF-α were increased in IDH group with the progress of hemodialysis,but were stable innon-IDH group.Logistic regression analysis indicated that there were positive correlations between CRP (r =0.3652),IL-1β (r =0.3261 ),IL-6(r =03156),TNF- α (r =0.3324) and blood pressure during hemodialysis (P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion The levels of CRP,IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6 are positively related to the IDH in maintenance hemodialysis patients.

Objective To investigate the autophagy capacity in clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissue compared with adjacent normal tissue.Methods Sixty-nine pairs of samples from human clear cell renal cell carcinoma tissues and relatively healthy renal tissues adjacent to the tumor were collected during surgical resection.The expressions of proteins that were participating in the regulation and execution of autophagy were detected by immunohistochemisty.Electron-microscopy was also carried out for the morphometrical analysis.Results The protein expression of p-mTOR (P =0.004),P62 (P =0.000) and ULK1 (P =0.000) were up-regulated in the carcinoma tissue,while the expression of Beclin1 (P=0.000),LC3 (P =0.000) and ATG7 (P =0.000) were down-regulated,and the expression of ATG5 (P =0.349) had no signif-icant difference compared with adjacent normal tissue.Morphometrical analysis showed that the basal autophagic activity (measured by the presence of autophagy vacuole compartment) was remarkably down-regulated in carcinoma tissue,compared with adjacent normal tissue.The expression level of mTOR was correlated with P62,LC3 and ATG7,but results showed no correlation between mTOR and Beclin 1.Conclusion Our studies show a relatively reduced autophagy capacity in clear cell renal cell carcinoma,which is regulated by multiple autophagy-related proteins such as mTOR,Beclin 1 and LC3.

Objective To explore the significance of multiple microelectrode guided technique in determining the sensory?motor area of the sub?thalamic nucleus(STN)in deep brain stimulation(DBS)surgeries. Methods A total of 22 electrophysiological recording data of STNs recorded by multiple microelectrode was retrospectively analyzed ,while another 20 electrophysiological recording data of STNs recorded by a single micro?electrode was recruited as the control group. Results A total of 64 microelectrodes were used in 22 STNs guided by multiple electrophysiological recording electrodes. Sensory or motor activated potentials were recorded in 21 sides(95.5%),while regular discharge was recorded in one side. The average length of typical STN activity on the optimal channel of multiple electrophysiological recording electrodes was 5.58±0.53 mm,and the average length of sensory or motor activated potentials was 3.27±1.54 mm. In contrast,the average length of typical STN activity recorded by single microelectrode was 5.02±1.01 mm. However,sensory or motor activated potentials were recorded in 13 sides(65.0%)with the average length of 1.36±0.98 mm. Among the 22 STNs guided by multiple electrophysiological recording electrodes,the final implanted target was consistent with the initially selected anatomic target in 13 sides(coincidence rate,59.1%). In 9 sides,the electrophysiological target was inconsistent with the initially selected anatomic target. Conclusion STN DBS performed with multiple electrophysiological recording electrodes resulted in better outcomes of recording of the average length of typical STN activity or the average length of sensory or motor activated potentials of STN ,final confirmation of STN sensory motor area and determination of the optimal channel of implantation. Application of multiple electrophysiological recording electrodes provides a premise for the precise electrode placement in STN DBS surgeries.

OBJECTIVE To study effective and convenient method for paraffin oil sterilization.METHODS By using carrier qualitative germicidal test,to compare pressure steam sterilization,dry heat sterilization and cobalt-60(gamma)-ray radiation sterilization to test the sterilizing effect and operating procedure.RESULTS Pressure steam sterilization was unable to achieve 100% sterilizing effect,whether we extended the time or use the intermittent(sterilization).After dry heat or radiation sterilization processes,no microorganism was found.CONCLUSIONS Effect of sterilization with dry heat or radiation sterilization is trustable,but its packing,operation and equipment are requested strictly,and pressure steam sterilization may be not good for paraffin oil.

Objective To explore the short and long-term efficacy of extralevator abdominoperineal excision (ELAPE)vs.conventional abdominoperineal excision (APE)on distal rectal cancer.Methods Relevant studies were identified by search of Medline,EMBASE,and Web of Science published between January 1,2008 and February 28,2015,and included in the systematic review and meta-analysis with Stata software (version 12.0). Results Our Meta-analysis included 14 studies involving 3278 patients,of whom 1843 (56.2%)underwent ELAPE and 1435 (43.8%)underwent APE.Compared with patients undergoing APE,those undergoing ELAPE had a significantly reduced risk of intraoperative bowel perforation (IBP)involvement (OR=0 .55 ,95% CI= 0 .37-0 .85 ),but no significant reduction in the occurrence of CRM positivity (OR=0 .81 ,95% CI=0 .52-1 .25 ), local recurrence (LR)(OR=0.49,95% CI=0.18-1.30),wound complications (WCs)(OR=0.93,95% CI=0.65-1.35)or in-hospital death (IHD)(OR=0.89,95% CI=0.47-1.71).Conclusion ELAPE can reduce the risk of IBP but not for CRM positivity or LR when compared with APE.Therefore,more higher-quality studies are needed to verify the short-and long-term effects of ELAPE procedure on distal rectal cancer.
