ObjectiveTo observe the different mode of administration of lidocaine on hemodynamic effects during self-retaining laryngoscope.Methods75 adult patients,underwent selective operations of removal and biopsy of the vocal polype,epiglottis or laryngeal tumor via self-retaining laryngoscope under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into three groups,with 25 cases for each.Group Ⅰ was the control group; Group Ⅱ was the throat spraying group;Group Ⅲ was the intravenous drug group.The incidence of irritating cough and the changes of mean arterial pressure(MAP) and hear rate(HR) were observed during operations.ResultsThe incidence of irritating cough in group Ⅱ was lower than in group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ ( all P ＜ 0.05 ).MAP,HR in group Ⅱ was also lower than that in group Ⅰ and Ⅲ during extubation( all P ＜0.05).However there were no significant differences on MAP,HR between group Ⅰ and group Ⅲ during extubation( all P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionLidocaine spraying on larynx could alleviate irritating cough and had significant preventive effect on cardiovascular response,and the effect in this method was superior to intravenous injection.

Neurotransmitter release is controlled by groups of proteins associated with the membranes of synaptic vesicles and the presynaptic membranes.It is a highly dynamic process which is spatially and temporally regulated via a cascade of protein-protein interactions.These proteins participate in each step of the synaptic vesicle circulation at nerve terminals including the formation of soluble N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor-attachment protein receptors complex,the targeted trafficking of synaptic vesicles,the vesicle docking,the neurotransmitter release and finally the reuse of the proteins.This article focuses on the physiological function and the interactions of these regulating proteins.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the curative effect of nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma by sequential chemotherapy combined radiotherapy compared with chemtherapy. METHOD: Fifty-seven cases of nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma confirmed by pathological morphology and immuno-histochemistry were divided into chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group (34 cases) or chemotherapy group (23 cases). Twenty-three patients in the chemotherapy group alternately applied CHOP, VDLP and MEOP regimen after each two treatments into the clinical observation; Chemotherapy combined radiotherapy group of 34 patients, in addition to the above chemotherapy, applied three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy of the primary site by linear accelerators. Then all of patients were ceased treatment and followed up 3-5 years. RESULT: (1) After treatment, effective rate of two groups was 91.2% and 87.0%, there was no obvious difference (P > 0.05); After follow up about 1 year, effective rate of two groups was 76.5% and 73.9%, there was no obvious difference (P > 0.05); (3) After follow up about 3 years and 5 years, disease free survival (DFS) of two groups was 61.3%, 47.6% and 43.5%, 21.4%, there was obvious difference (P < 0.05). (4) Long-term survival is closely related to treatment mode. (5) B symptoms, advanced (III, IV) stage, the International Prognostic Index (IPI), KPS scores were correlated with prognosis, and were independent prognostic factors. CONCLUSION Treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy for nasal type extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma had obvious curative effect and may improve long-term survival efficiently compared with chemotherapy alone.

OBJECTIVETo investigate development of a cell extraction process for preparing human meniscus acellular matrix, and morphology and biomechanical properties.

METHODSHuman meniscus were subjected to modified eight-step detergent, then, the specimens were assessed by staining with haematoxylin-eosin, toluidine blue, sirius red, saffron O, alcain blue and hoechst-33258, et al. The ultrastructure of the specimens was observed with scanning electron microscope. Transient recovery rate of deformation, maximal recovery rate of deformation and maximal compressive strength were tested to determine the biomechanical properties of the scaffold.

RESULTSEvery stain confirmed that the celluar constituents of the specimens were removed. The specimens stained positively by staining with sirius red. Lacuna were found irregularly not only on the surface of the meniscus,but also in the meniscus with scanning electron microscope. Pores in the specinmens were large, the diameter of pores was 80 to 760 microm, porosity was over 67%. The transient recovery rate of deformation was (89.62 +/- 1.04)%, the maximal recovery rate of deformation was 100% and the maximal compressive strength was (3.04 +/- 0.13)N, when the specimens were compressed 30%.

CONCLUSIONThe modified eight-step detergent can remove the immunogenic cell components from human meniscus, in addition, 3D extracellular matrix can be retained. The scaffold has good biomechanical properties. This scaffold stands a good chance to be an implant for future tissue engineering of the human meniscus.

The relationship between T cell immunoglobulin domain and mucin domain protein 3 (Tim-3)/Galectin (Gal)-9 pathway and recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA) was studied. Thirty-one pregnant women with RSA and 27 normal early gravidas were investigated to detect the levels of Tim-3 and Gal-9 in villi and deciduas by Western blotting. Meanwhile, the concentration of interleukin (IL)-4 and IL-12 in peripheral blood plasma was determined by ELISA in 25 healthy fertile non-pregnant controls, the normal early gravidas and pregnant women with RSA mentioned above, respectively. It was found that the relative expression levels of Tim-3 and Gal-9 in villi and deciduas were significantly increased in pregnant women with RSA as compared with those in the normal early gravidas. The concentration of IL-4 in peripheral blood plasma of pregnant women with RSA was lower than that of the normal early gravidas (P<0.05) and healthy fertile non-pregnant controls (P<0.05), but that of IL-2 in pregnant women with RSA was significantly higher than that of the normal early gravidas (P<0.05) and healthy fertile non-pregnant controls (P<0.05). It was suggested that the overexpression of Tim-3/Gal-9 pathway may be related to the pathogenesis of RSA.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the commonest neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the loss of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra and the appearance of Lewy bodies (LBs), whose cytoplasmic inclusions are highly enriched with ubiquitin, synphilin-1, alpha-synuclein and parkin. Synphilin-1 is an alpha-synuclein-binding protein and a major component of LBs. It is widely accepted that synphilin-1 is involved in the pathogenic process of PD. This review will provide an overall view of the role of synphilin-1 in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease and the latest findings in this field.
