Objective To observe and compare the efficacy and safety between propofol-fentanyl and propo- fol-ketamine for anesthesia of artificial abortion.Methods 450 ASA physical statusⅠandⅡpatients scheduled for elective artificial abortion were randomized into three groups:P group were given intravenous normal saline 2ml be- fore propofol(n=150) ;PF group were given intravenous fentanyl 1?g/kg then propofol(n=150);PK group were given intravenous ketamine 0.4mg/kg then propofol(n=150).Total dose of propofol,extinction time of lash reflex, heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP),pulse oxygen saturation(SpO_2),time to open the eye when called, time of full recovery(answering correctly and walking unaided),discomfort,awareness during operation,self-feeling were recorded.Analysis of date was with SPSS 12.0.P＜0.05 was considered significant.Results No episodes of nausea,vomiting,cardio-cerebral syndrome or awareness were noted in all patients;Total dose of propofol,and extinc- tion time of lash reflex in P group were significantly more than those in PK or PF group(P＜0.05),but there was no difference between PK and PF group;MAP,minimum HR and SpO_2 during operation were obviously lower than preoperation or postoperation in those in P or PF group,minimum HR and SpO_2 during operation in P group were significantly lower than in PF or PK group;Minimum HR and SpO_2 during operation in PK group were lower than preoperation,but its decrease extent was less than that in P or PF group(P＜0.05);Time to eye opening in PF or PK group was significantly less than that in P group(P＜0.05);Time to full recovery were not different in three groups;Incidence of pain on injection in PF group(10%)or PK group(8%)was obviously lower than P group (80%);Incidence of coughing and moving during operation in PF group(8%)or PK group(6%)was obviously less than P group(30%);No difference were noted with respect to degree of comfort,time of full recovery,bleeding vol- ume during operation,time to operation.Conclusion Painless artificial abortion can be preformed effectively and safely with propofol-fentanyl or propofol-ketamine,propofol-ketamine especially fits for painless artificial abortion compared with propofol-fantanyl.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical outcomes of patients with single spinal metastasis of thoracic, lumbar or sacral vertebra treated with microwave ablation in situ.Methods:For 28 patients with single spinal metastasis of thoracic, lumbar or sacral vertebra, detailed and personal surgical plans were carried out. Instead of en bloc resection, hyperthermia ablation in situ was performed followed by strengthening procedures under the guidance of G-arm fluoroscopy machine. Intraoperatively, spinal cord and nerve root were properly protected. The bone defects were reconstructed by bone cement after the diseased lesions were revomed. All patients were followed up for almost 1 year postoperatively. During follow-up, X-ray and MRI images were obtained, and the level of pain and neurologic outcomes were also examined.Results:All 28 patients successfully received microwave ablation in situ. The average ablation time was approximately 8 minutes and the average amount of bone cement implanted was approximately 10.5 ml. The pain scores of digital pain classification before and 3 months after operation were 7.86±1.58 and 3.07±1.89( P<0.05). The postoperative neurological function of 22 patients was improved than that before operation. No significant changes were observed in 5 patients. The neurological function of the affected limb was relieved, whereas the symptoms of the healthy limb were slightly worse in the remaining case. Conclusions:Microwave ablation in situ is a feasible and effective surgical method for single spinal metastasis of thoracic, lumbar or sacral vertebra. It might possess many advantages, such as clear surgical field, smaller incisions, less bleeding, and safe margins during the operations. Further more, it could significantly relieve pain, restrict tumor growth, and improve the quality of life of patients. It is an innovative and distinctive therapeutic alternative for single spinal metastasis, which deserves widespread application.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and surgical management of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma (MCRCC) and to evaluate the gene function of the mutation of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) gene in MCRCC. Methods Seventeen MCRCC cases (11 men and 6 women) out of 512 cases of renal cell carcinoma from 2000 to 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age of the 17 patients was 46 years (37-61 years). Ultrasonography and CT were available in all 17 cases, and 1 case was misdiagnosed as parapelvic renal cyst. The mutation of VHL gene was detected by PCR in the specimens of can-cerous tissue and adjacent normal tissue from 11 cases of MCRCC. Results Three of 17 cases underwent nephron sparing surgery, the others underwent radical nephrectomy. One case underwent unroofing of parapelvic renal cyst, but the rapid frozen pathology of the cyst wall showed renal cell carcinoma of clear type. As a result, radical nephrectomy was eventually performed. All 17 cases were confirmed as MCRCC by eva-luating pathological characteristics, such as the cyst wall lined by single or several layers of clear tumor cells and the nuclei which were small and anachromasis. Clinical stages of all cases were T1N0M0, in which there were 14 cases with pathological T1G1 and 3 cases with pathological T1G2. All patients underwent a follow-up of 9 to 36 months (mean, 12 months) without recurrence or metastasis. Mutation of VHL gene was detected in 7 of 11 cases (64%), but all adjacent normal tissues were negative. Conclusions As a rare subtype of renal cell carcinoma, MCRCC is difficult to diagnose. CT is an essential measure in diagnosis of MCRCC preoperatively. Because of the good prognosis of reported cases, nephron sparing surgery for the treatment of MCRCC is recommended. VHL gene mutations may play an important role in the carcinogenesis of MCRCC.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and clinical results of laparoseopic reoperation for patients with history of previous ipsilateral urology laparoscopic surgeries. Methods Thirteen patients that underwent second ipsilateral urology laparoscopic surgeries were retrospectively ana-lysed. The reasons for a second operation included nonfunctional kidney after pyeloplasty, ure-terolithotomy or pyelolithotomy in 4 cases, recurrence of urinary calculi in 3 cases, pelviureteric june-tional stenosis after pyeloplasty in 1 case, recurrence of renal cyst in 1 case, recurrence of adrenal tumor in 1 case, residual adrenal tumor in 1 case, progression of polycystic kidney in 1 case and renal carcinoma after laparoscopic surgery for renal cyst in 1 case. Transperitoneal laparoscopie surgeries were performed in all cases and the first trocar was placed with open incision to avoid puncture injury. The adhesion between intestines and retroperitoneal space was dissected to expose the operative field. The lateral peritoneum and perirenal fascia were sutured after surgery in all cases except nephrectomy cases. Results For the first operation, the mean operative time was 93 min, the mean estimated blood loss was 70 ml and the average postoperative hospital stay was 4.8 d. The second operations on the 13 cases were successfully performed with mean operative time of 97 rain, mean estimated blood loss of 62 ml and average postoperative hospital stay of 5.0 d which were not significantly different from the first operation parameters(P＞0.05). During the secondary operations, adhesions and abnor-mal anatomic structure observed increased the difficulty of surgery. All patients after secondary opera-tions were followed up for 2--24 months and no major complication was observed. Conclusion La-paroscopic reoperation on patients with history of ipsilateral urology laparoscopic surgery is feasible in skilled and experienced hands and in properly selected cases.

Objective To develop an accurate,reliable method without the need of initialization in animal PET modeling for estimation of the tracer kinetic parameters based on the artificial immune network.Methods The hepatic and left ventricular time activity curves (TACs) were obtained by drawing ROIs of liver tissue and left ventricle on dynamic 18F-FDG PET imaging of small mice.Meanwhile,the blood TAC was analyzed by sampling the tail vein blood at different time points after injection.The artificial immune network for parametric optimization of pharmacokinetics (PKAIN) was adapted to estimate the model parameters and the metabolic rate of glucose (Ki) was calculated.Results TACs of liver,left ventricle and tail vein blood were obtained.Based on the artificial immune network,Ki in 3 mice was estimated as 0.0024,0.0417 and 0.0047,respectively.The average weighted residual sum of squares of the output model generated by PKAIN was less than 0.0745 with a maximum standard deviation of 0.0084,which indicated that the proposed PKAIN method can provide accurate and reliable parametric estimation.Conclusion The PKAIN method could provide accurate and reliable tracer kinetic modeling in animal PET imaging without the need of initialization of model parameters.

Objective: To observe the effects of nerve block on MA and EA analgesia and mast cells degranulation in adjuvant arthritis rats in order to analyze the difference between the underlying peripheral mechanism of MA and EA analgesia. Methods: Zusanli (ST 36) was chosen as the acupuncturing point on adjuvant arthritis rats. Eighty SD rats were randomized into 10 groups, including control, model, normal+Lido, EA, Lido+EA, DLido+ZEA, Xlido+ZEA, MA, Lido+MA, Dlido+ZMA groups, with 8 rats in each group. Paw Withdraw Latencies and mast cells degranulation ratios were recorded and computed. Results: Compared with model group, the pain threshold (PT) and mast cells degranulation ratios of EA and MA groups were obviously increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The analgesia effects of both MA and EA were obviously attenuated after nerve block by pretreated with Lidocaine hydrochloride at the acupuncturing point or at the acupiont of proximal end in the same neural stem while they were not by the same manipulations at the acupoint of distal end. Degranulation ratios of mast cells caused by MA or EA were not obviously affected by nerve block. Conclusion: The effective signal of nerve conduction of MA analgesia is generated after the degranulation of mast cells in the process of acupoints activation or needle sense and it is the direct cause of generation of nerve signal. In the condition of EA, the acupoints activation is caused by the stimulation of electric signal on nerve receptor while the degranulation of mast cells is concomitant or feedback effect.

OBJECTIVE:To virtually screen lignanoid compounds with inhibitory effect of histone deacetylase(HDAC)by vir-tual screening method. METHODS:Using“lignanoid”as keyword,requiring CNKI,VIP,PubMed and other database,lignanoid compounds were collected as ligand to establish ligand base, histone deacetylase receptor HDAC2 (PDB code:4LXZ) and HDAC8 (PDB code:1T69) were selected from PDB database,and then ligands and 3D active site of receptors were docked by SYBYL-X 2.0 software. The affinity of receptors to ligand was reflected by total score. RESULTS:345 lignanoid compounds, 4LXZ and 1T69 primary ligand were used to establish ligand base which included 347 ligands. Ligands No.275,271,110,200, 056,258,181,129,037,270,187 were demonstrated good affinity with receptors HDAC2 and HDAC8. Ligands and receptors residue were docked via hydrogen bond. CONCLUSIONS:Lignanoid compounds have inhibitory effect on HDAC;virtual screen-ing method is effective in natural product activity prediction,which can provide quick access to and theoretical guidance for new pharmacological studies of lignanoid compounds.

The purpose of the study was to observe the effect of rapamycin (RAPA) on the differentiation and maturation of rat bone marrow-derived dendritic cells (BMDCs) in vitro. BMDCs from Wistar rats were cultured with granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor plus interleukin-4 in the presence or absence of RAPA (20 ng/mL), and stimulated with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) for 24 h before cells and supernatants were collected. Surface phenotype of BMDCs was flow-cytometrically detected to determine the expression of maturation markers, MHC class II and CD86. Supernatants were analyzed for the production of IL-12 and IFN-gamma cytokines by using ELISA. BMDCs were co-cultured with T cells from Lewis rats and mixed lymphocyte reaction was assessed by MTT method. The morphology of BMDCs stimulated with LPS remained immature after RAPA pretreatment. RAPA significantly decreased the CD86 expression, impaired the IL-12 and IFN-gamma production of BMDCs stimulated with LPS, and inhibited the proliferation of allogeneic T cells. In conclusion, RAPA can inhibit the maturation of BMDCs stimulated with LPS in terms of the morphology, surface phenotype, cytokine production, and ability of BMDCs to stimulate the proliferation of allogeneic T cells in vitro.
