Objective To investigate the relationship between the C161T polymorphisms in peroxisome proliferators-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) gene and atherothrombotic infarction (ATI) in a Chinese Han population.Methods The patients with atherothrombotic infarction and controls,who without histories of stroke,transient ischemic attack and myocardial infarction were enrolled.Genotypes of the PPARγ C161T polymorphisms were determined using the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism.The frequencies of genotype and allele in patients with ATI and controls were compared.Results A total of 112 ATI patients and 112 controls were enrolled.There were no significant differences in the age (67.9± 11.73 years vs.66.5 ± 10.35 years; t =0.386,P =0.701) and the proportion of male (61.61％ vs.58.04％ ;x2 =0.297,P =0.586) in the ATI group and the control group.The proportions of hypertension (59.82％ vs.44.62％ ;x2 =5.171,P =0.023),type 2 diabetes mellitus (26.79％ vs.9.82％;x2 =10.778,P =0.001) in the ATI group were significantly higher than those in the control group.Body mass index (25.13±1.86 kg/m2 vs.24.11 ± 1.81 kg/m2; t =3.543,P=0.001),systolic pressure (158.84 ± 20.15 mm Hg vs.135.82 ± 19.58 mm Hg; t =7.350,P =0.000),diastolic pressure (76.90 ± 13.64 mm Hg vs.68.90 ± 8.52 mm Hg; t =4.374,P =0.000) and the level of fasting blood glucose (6.523 ± 2.831 mmol/L vs.5.706 ± 2.177 mmol/L; t =2.026,P =0.044) in the ATI group were significantly higher than those in the control group.The genotype frequencies of CC,CT and TT in the ATI group were 77.7％,17.0％ and 5.4％,respectively,and in the control group were 69.6％,22.3％ and 8.0％,respectively.There were no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =1.909,P =0.385).The allele frequencies of C and T in the ATI group were 86.2％ and 13.8％,respectively,and in the control group were 80.8％ and 19.2％,respectively.There were no significant difference between the two groups (x2 =2.331,P =0.127).Conclusions PPARγ C161T polymorphisms may be not associated with the onset of ATI in a Chinese Han population.

Objective A 23-year-old female patient who had a past history of sexual - precocity and fracture developed hyperhyroidism 8 months ago. Radiological examination revealed enlargement of sella turcica and a adrenal gland nodule. The patient was diagnosed to have McCune -Albright syndrome and scheduled for resection of left subtotal adrenalectomy under general anesthesia. The patient was taking (1) thiamazole 5 mg t. i. d. and propranolol 10 mg q. d. for hyperthyroidism; (2) adalat 10 mg t. i. d. and potassium citrate 20 ml t. i. d. for Cushing syndrome and (3) calcium tablets for osteoporosis. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam 1 mg, fentanyl 50 ?g and vecuronium 1 mg followed by propofol 150 mg and succinyl choline 100 mg. The patient was intubated and mechanically ventilated (VT = 500 ml, RR =10 bpm, I: E = 1 :2) . PET CO2 was maintained between 35 - 45 mm Hg. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane and N2O - O2 (1:2) and intermittent i.v. boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. The BP was increased to 180/110 mm Hg after induction of anesthesia. Urapidil 10 mg was given intermittently i.v. During the exploration of adrenal gland BP was again increased to 200/140 mm Hg. Nitroglycerin was infused i.v. and BP was decreased to 120-130/80-90 mm Hg and was kept at this level till the end of operation. Hydrocortisone succinate 100 mg was infused i.v. slowly after operation. The operation went smoothly. The patient was extubated and the postoperative course was uneventful.

Objective:To investigate the effect of exogenous nitric oxide(NO) on the growth and proliferation of gastric cancer cell line SGC-7901. Methods:The inhibitory effects of NO donor sodium nitroprusside (SNP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) inhibitor N-nitro-L-arginine methylester(L-NAME) on the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells were analyzed by MTT assay. The changes of mRNA and protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) and caspase-3 were examined by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The cell cycle was measured using flow cytometry. Results:Compared with control group, more cells in the SNP group were arrested at G_1 and G_0 phases (P<0.05) and fewer cells were at S phases (P<0.05). SNP decreased the speed of cell-cycle progression from G_0/G_1 phase into S phase. SNP inhibited the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells and reduced the mRNA and protein expressions of PCNA and caspase-3. NOS inhibitor L-NAME reversed the effects of SNP. Conclusion:NO inhibited cell growth and proliferation, but accelerated apoptosis of gastric cancer cells.

Objective Candidas rank as the second factor of deep fungal infection .This study aimed to investigate the rela-tionship between Candidas and melanin by screening clinically isolated melanin -producing Candidas . Methods We incubated 360 strains of clinically isolated Candidas with caffeic acid , DOPA agar , and minimal medium at a temperature of 35℃, with Cryptococcus neoformans as the positive control .We observed the changes in the culture media using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron spin resonance ( ESR) spectroscopy . Results Cryptococcus neoforman produced pigmentation in all the three types of medi -um.At 5 days, a standard strain of Candida albicans SC 5314 turned dark brown in the DOPA agar and minimal medium and , at 10 days, 12 and 15 of the 360 Candida strains turned dark brown in the DOPA agar and minimal medium , respectively, which were not shown to be melanin by TEM and ESR spectroscopy . Conclusion Culture media are not reliable enough for the identification of mel-anin-producing Candidas , and the observations need to be further verified by TEM and ESR spectroscopy .

Objective To evaluate the effects of different sequences of intravenous administration on fentanyl-induced cough during induction of general anesthesia.Methods One hundred patients of both sexes,aged 18-70 yr,weighing 42-88 kg,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were equally randomized to 2 groups using a random number table:fentanyl-propofol group (group FP) and propofol-fentanyl group (group PF).In FP group,fentanyl 3 μg/kg was injected intravenously over 3 s,and then propofol 1.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously.In PF group,propofol 1.5 mg/kg was injected intravenously,and then fentanyl 3μg/kg was injected intravenously over 3 s.The development,intensity and onset time of cough were recorded within 1 min after fentanyl injection.Results Compared with FP group,the incidence of cough was significantly decreased,and no significant change was found in the intensity and onset time of cough in PF group.Conclusion Administration in the propofol-fentanyl sequence can reduce the development of fentanyl-induced cough as compared with that in the fentanyl-propofol sequence during induction of general anesthesia.

Objective To investigate the predictive values of the pulsatility index detected by transcranial Doppler (TCD) and serum neuron-specific enolase (NES) in patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Methods The patients with CPR restoration of spontaneous circulation who were still in coma were divided into survival group and death group. TCD monitoring and serum NSE detection were performed at 48 hours after CPR restoration of spontaneous circulation. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were used to evaluate the predictive values of the pulsatility index detected by TCD and serum NES in patients after successful CPR. Results Seventy patients were collected, 32 patients (19 males and 13 females) in the survival group, age 54. 63 ± 13. 28 years; 38 patients (22 males and 16 females) in the death group, age 58. 00 ± 13. 15 years. There were no significant differences in age and gender between the survival and death groups. The pulsatility index was 1. 217 + 0. 352 in the death group, and it was significantly higher than 0.841 +0. 163 in the survival group; the serum NSE content was 130. 968±59.634 ng/ml in the death group, and it was signiflcantly higher than 49. 465 ± 26. 864 ng/ml in the survival gronp (P＜0. 01). When the pulsatility index was used to predict the death of patients, the ROC area under the curve was 0. 794 (P=0. 000,95% confidence interval [CI] O. 679-0. 908);when the cutoff value was 1. 110, the sensitivity was 68.4%, the specificity was 100%,positive predictive value was 100%, and negative predictive value was 72. 7%. When serum NSE level was used to predict the death of the patients, the ROC area under the curve was 0. 756 (P= 0. 000, 95% CI 0. 672-0. 885); when the cutoff value was 56. 502 ng/ml, the sensitivity was 80. 8%, the specificity was 65. 4%, positive predictive value was 82. 5%, and negative predictive value was 76. 6%. Conclusions The pulsatility index detected by TCD and serum NSE content can be used as predictors in patients achieved return of spontaneous circulation after CPR.
