Objective To observe the anesthesia effect of dezocine and pentazocine in painless artificial abortion, in order to provide a basis for safe use of anesthesia drug in clinical practice. Methods Totally,300 patients undergoing painless artificial abortion were included in this study.The patients were randomly divided into four groups: group A (simple propofo), group B ( propofol combined with fentanyl) ,group C ( propofol combined with dezocine) and group D ( propofol combined with pentazocine)(n=75 each).Four groups of patients were intravenously injected with propofol (1-1.5 mg?kg-1) according to the situation in operation when necessary to maintain anesthesia effect.Heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),arterial oxygen saturation ( SpO2 ) and respiratory frequency were observed and recorded before induction,after induction,at the beginning of the operation,during operation and anesthesia recovery. The onset time of anesthesia, the recovery time, the recovery time of orientation,the postoperative pain score and the incidence of adverse reaction of the four groups were recorded. Results All of the patients achieved good effects of anesthesia in operations. There was no significant difference in the onset time of anesthesia (P>0.05).Awakening time and time of orientation recovery in groups B,C and D were significantly shorter than those in group A (P<0.05).The dosages of propofol in group C and D were significantly less than those in group A and B (P<0.05).The changes of HR,MAP,SpO2 and respiratory frequency after induction were not significantly different in group B,C and D (P>0.05),but the changes were relatively stable as compared with group A (P<0.05).The rates of adverse reactions in group B,C and D were significantly lower than that in group A (P<0.05).The incidence rates of respiratory depression,nausea and vomiting in group C and D were significantly lower than those in group A and B (P<0.05).The postoperative pain scores of VAS in group B,C and D were significantly lower than that of group A (P<0.05). Conclusion The analgesia effects of dezocine and pentazocine are similar.Application of them can reduce the dosage of propofol and shorten the anesthesia awakening time in painless artificial abortion,at the same time they have less adverse reactions,and they are safe and effective to be used in clinical anesthesia.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of internal fixation with screw through femoral epiphyseal plate on growth in- hibition via an experimental study.

METHODSForty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups and 10 rabbits in each group. Epiphyseal plate was injured by penetrating of screws, and the size of damage area was controlled by changing the number of threads. Group A: blank group; group B: injury area accounted for 4% of the epiphyseal plate; group C: injury area accounted for 6%; group D: injury area accounted for 8%. The internal fixation was removed after 2 weeks, and the results were observed with X-ray film for 4 groups to judge the complications such as early closure of epiphyseal.

RESULTSIn each group, there were no statistical differences in the length of the femoral neck, the diameter of femoral neck, the diameter of the femoral head, and the epiphyseal plate closure time. The growth speed of the length and diameter of the femoral neck, as well as the diameter of femoral head, were quicker on the early phase, and the speed was slowest when the epiphyseal plate was being closed.

CONCLUSIONThe injury area of epiphyseal plate under 8% is safe for its growth. Because no evidences demonstrate the growth inhibition of epiphyseal plate, the screws can be used for rabbit epiphyseal plates.

OBJECTIVETo investigate different treatment methods for stage-Is testicular mixed germ cell tumors (TMGCTs).

METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed the clinical data about 3'cases of stage-Is TMGCTs (aged 26-39 years) treated in the 175th Hospital of PLA, reviewed relevant literature, and explored the clinical characteristics of TMGCTs.

RESULTSOf the 3 patients, 1 was treated by radical orchiectomy, 1 by radical orchiectomy + retroperitoneal lymph node dissection + BEP chemotherapy scheme, and the other by radical orchiectomy + radiotherapy. The pathological components of TMGCTs were immature teratoma, seminoma, spermatocytoma, chorioepithelioma, embryonal carcinoma, and yolk sac tumor. No recurrence or distant metastasis was found during the 24-month follow-up after surgery.

CONCLUSIONThe diagnosis of TMGCTs primarily depends on physical examination, ultrasonography, MRI, and measurement of serum tumor markers, while its confirmation necessitates pathological examination, and its treatment is basically radical orchiectomy.

OBJECTIVETo explore effects and action mechanism of warm moxibustion on regulation of blood lipids and anti-atherosclerosis.

METHODSForty-one male Japanese big-ear white rabbits were randomly divided into a blank group (10 rabbits), a model group (10 rabbits), a moxibustion group (10 rabbits) and a medication group (11 rabbits). Normal diet was applied in the blank group while high-cholesterol diet combined with injection of bovine serum albumin were applied in the rest groups to establish rabbit model of atherosclerosis. After establishment, the model group was not intervened and warm moxibustion was applied in the moxibustion group at "Zusan-li" (ST 36) and "Shenque" (CV 8), 10 min per acupoint per day for continuous 4 weeks. The medication group was treated with intragastric administration of lovastatin capsule (3.6 mg/kg) for continuous 4 weeks. The level of blood lipids, such as total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), and content of CD40 ligand (CD40L), soluble CD40 ligand (sCD40L) and expression of nuclear factor NF-kappaB were tested after 4 weeks.

RESULTSCompared with the model group, the moxibustion group and medication group could effectively reduce the contents of TC and low density lipoprotein (all P < 0.05), lower the level of sCD40L [(8.310 +/- 1.221) ng/mL in the model group, (7.097 +/- 0.846) ng/mL in the moxibustion group and (7.354 +/- 0.631) ng/mL in the medication group], reduce expression of CD40L [(0.235 +/- 0.179) mm2 in the model group, (0.072 +/- 0.079) mm2 in the moxibustion group and (0.039 +/- 0.015) mm2 in the medication group] and NF-kappaB [(0.145 +/- 0.052)mm2 in the model group, (0.052 +/- 0.012) mm2 in the moxibustion group and (0.036 +/- 0.013) mm2 in the medication group], indicating the significant difference (P < 0.05, P < 0.001). There was no statistical difference between the moxibustion group and medication group (all P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe warm moxibustion has great effect on regulation of blood lipids and anti-atherosclerosis, in which lowering expression of CD40-CD40L could be one of possible mechanisms to take effect of anti-atherosclerosis.

Objective To confirm the predictive value of diaphragm thickening fraction (DTF) on successful weaning by bedside ultrasound in patients with myasthenia gravis crisis. Methods A prospective study was conducted. The patients with myasthenia gravis crisis undergoing mechanical ventilation admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from March 2015 to February 2017 were enrolled. All patients underwent a low level pressure support mode of spontaneous breathing test (SBT), and rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) was recorded. The indicators of right diaphragm thickness at the end of inspiration (DTei) and expiration (DTee) were determined by bedside ultrasound at 5 minutes and 60 minutes of SBT, and DTF was calculated, the changes in above parameters were observed during SBT. The patients were divided into successful weaning group and failure weaning group, and the differences in above indexes were compared between the two groups. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the predictive value of DTF and RSBI at 60 minutes of SBT on successful weaning. Results A total of 37 patients were enrolled in the study. Ultrasonic measurement data of 63 person-times at 5 minutes of SBT and 50 at 60 minutes of SBT were obtained. There were no statistical differences in RSBI, DTei, DTee, and DTF at 5 minutes of SBT between successful weaning group (n = 33) and failure weaning group (n = 30). At 60 minutes of SBT, compared with successful weaning group (n = 33), the patients in failure weaning group (n = 17) had a higher RSBI (times·min-1·L-1: 80.41±29.08 vs. 63.94±23.84, t = 2.146, P = 0.037), and lower DTee, DTei and DTF [DTee (mm): 22.00±6.25 vs. 25.45±4.99, t = 2.127, P = 0.039; DTei (mm): 27.94±6.19 vs. 38.48±6.15,t = 5.731, P = 0.000; DTF: (24.46±14.11)% vs. (62.04±30.21)%, t = 4.845, P = 0.000]. There were no statistical differences in RSBI, DTei, DTee, and DTF between 5 minutes and 60 minutes of SBT in 33 person-time successful weaning (all P > 0.05). In 17 person who had 60 minutes of SBT but failed weaning, the RSBI at 60 minutes of SBT was significantly higher than that at 5 minutes (times·min-1·L-1: 80.41±29.08 vs. 57.29±22.46, t = 2.400, P = 0.029), and DTei and DTF were significantly decreased [DTei (mm): 27.94±6.19 vs. 35.35±6.84, t = 3.024, P = 0.000; DTF:(24.46±14.11)% vs. (61.89±23.97)%, t = 5.810, P = 0.000], but the change of DTee during SBT showed no statistical significance. ROC curve analysis showed that the area under ROC curve (AUC) of DTF at 60 minutes of SBT for predicting successful weaning was 0.898; when DTF ≥ 27.9% as the cut-off point, the sensitivity was 93.9%, specificity was 70.6%. The AUC of RSBI for predicting successful weaning was 0.669; when RSBI ≥ 86.50 times·min-1·L-1 as the cut-off point, the sensitivity was 81.8%, specificity was 52.9%. Conclusion DTF at 60 minutes of SBT is the effective index of successful weaning prediction in mechanical ventilation patients with myasthenia gravis crisis.

Objective To investigate the expressions of Dapper1 in gastric carcinoma and elucidate its relationship with survivin and its role in tumor cell apoptosis. Methods Dapper1 mRNA was detected with RT-PCR using specimens from 30 cases of gastric carcinoma and the corresponding normal gastric mucosa.The pcDNA3.1-Dpr1 plasmid was transfected into SGC-7901 cells with LipofectamineTM 2000.The effect of upregulation of Dpr1 on SGC7901 cell apoptosis was determined by flow cytometry.The downregulation of survivin、Dvl-2 and β-catenin protein expression were detected by Western blot analysis.Results Downregulation of Dpr1 gene expression was observed in 17(57%)of 30 human gastric cancer and the downregulation was significantly correlated with the depth of invasion and the degree of differentiation (P＜0.05).Also,upregulation of Dpr1 mRNA and downregulation of survivin mRNA were detected after transfecting pcDNA3.1-Dpr1 plasmid in SGC7901 cells,which led to downregulation of survivin、Dvl-2、β-catenin protein and increase of the SGC7901 cell apoptosis rate from 2.89%to 13.96%.Conclusion Downregulation of Dp1l gene expression is common in human gastric carcinoma,and upregulation of Dpr1 results in significant inhibition of survivin expression which can induce apoptosis of SGC7901 cells.

BACKGROUND:At present, the main research fields about coronary stents are the whole degradation biological materials with high biocompatibility and drug control ed release systems.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the safety after the two novel biodegradable stents implanted in coronary arteries in porcine models.
METHODS:The normal ful y biodegradable stents were made up of the poly-L-lactide and the antiproliferative drugs paclitaxel, and the novel biodegradable stents were added in amorphic calcium phosphate at the basis of normal biodegradable stents. (1) Five normal ful y biodegradable stents were randomly implanted into the coronary arteries of five porcines, and five novel biodegradable stents were randomly implanted into the coronary arteries of the remaining five porcines by coronary angiography. The blood biochemistry and C-reactive protein levels were measured pre-operation and at 28 days after operation. Coronary angiography was utilized to observe the lumen unobstructed at 28 days after surgery. (2) Under a microscope, seven normal ful y biodegradable stents and seven novel biodegradable stents were implanted into right external iliac arteries of 14 rabbits. Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were measured before surgery and at 28 days after operation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 28 days after operation, there were no significant changes in porcine glutamic-pyruvic transaminase, aspartate aminotransferase, triacylglycerol, total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein and C-reactive protein levels compared with that before operation, but urea nitrogen and creatinine levels were significantly higher than that before operation (P<0.05). The result of coronary angiography showed that no in-stent thrombosis or stenosis was detected in either group. There was no significant difference in urea nitrogen and creatinine levels in both groups. These results suggested that it is safe and compatible after the two novel biodegradable stents implanted in coronary arteries of porcine models, and the stents had good histocompatibility.
