Objective To investigate the protective effects of propofol preconditioning on myocardium against hypothermia ischemia normothermia reperfusion injury on isolated rat hearts. Methods The Langendorff apparatus was used.Sixty SD rat hearts were divided randomly into 5 groups after 20-minute equilibrium(n=12): control(Con) group,hearts were continually perfused with K-H buffer for 175 min;ischemia/reperfusion(I/R) group,hearts were perfused with K-H buffer for 40 min,then subjected to global ischemia at 27 ℃ for 75 min,and followed reperfusion at 37 ℃ for 60 min;propofol preconditioning group 1(P1),group 2(P2),and group 3(P3),hearts were perfused with K-H buffer including 50,100,and 150 ?mol/L propofol for 10 min and followed reperfusion like I/R group,respectively.Heart rate(HR),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure(LVEDP), left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP) and ?dp/dtmax at the end of equilibration,pre-ischemia and at the end of reperfusion were recorded.The contents of creatine kinase(CK) and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) in coronary effluent were measured at the end of equilibration and 1,10,20,30,and 60 min during reperfusion.The activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and the contents of maleic dialdehyde(MDA) were measured at the end of reperfusion.The area of infarct region was determined at the end of reperfusion. Results HR,LVDP,?dp/dtmax and SOD activity in P2 and P3 group were higher than those in I/R group(P

Objective To investigate the expression of extracellular signal regulated kinase(ERK) in human gastric cancer and evaluate the relationship between ERKs protein level and clinicopathological parameters. Method Western blot was used to measure the activity and expression of ERK 1 and ERK 2 proteins and immunohistochemistry was used for localization in 42 gastric cancer patients.Results ERK 1 and ERK 2 protein levels increased in gastric cancer tissues in comparison to normal tissues ( P 0 05). Expression of ERK 1 and ERK 2 showed a positive linear correlation (r=0 550, P

Objective To study the function of the laparoscope in abdominal trauma diagnosis and treatment.Method To use laparoscope in diagnosis and treatment for 20 cases abdominal trauma.Result 11 cases avoided the operation of the open abdomin,7 cases got treatment under the laparoscope;5 cases avoided the negative exploration.Conclusion Laparoscope can be used to clear the diagnosis.avoid negative exploration,treat the injury and help operator to choose incision and type of operation.

Quorum sensing systems of pathogens are central regulators for the expression of virulence factors. Increasing evidence implies that targeting the quorum sensing system of many pathogenic bacteria is a promising therapeutic approach to control infections. In this work,we isolated 47 strains of actinomycetes from the mud sample of Jiaozhou Bay. Quorum sensing inhibitory activity was monitored by Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. As a result,the culture broth extract of actinomycetes WA-7 was found to have significant quorum sensing inhibitory activity. This strain was assigned to the genus Streptomyces based on its 16S rDNA sequence. Further investigation revealed that the extract could inhibit the quorum sensing-controlled violacein and proteases production of C. violaceum in a concentration-dependent manner.

Objective To determine the significance and expression of S100A9 and NMP238 in cervical carcinoma with different concurrent chemoradiotherapy sensitivities. Methods Fresh carcinoma tissues were collected from untreated cervical carcinoma patients and preserved at -80 ℃. The tissues were classified into 2 groups:a high sensitivity group (HS) and a low sensitivity group(LS) according to their response to concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Protein was separated by 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE). Peptide mass fingerprintings (PMF) were acquired by matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and the proteins were identified by data searching in the Mascot-database. Differential expressed proteins were assayed by Western blot and immunohistochemistry.Results Most of the gels were clear and were successfully and reproductively analyzed. Intensity and rate of S100A9 expression were higher in the HS group than in the LS group,and those of NMP238 expression were higher in the LS group than in the HS group. Conclusion S100A9 and NMP238 expression is associated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy sensitivity in cervical carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the perioperative management and therapeutic efficacy of procedure for prolapse and hemorrhoids (PPH) in elderly patients with serious hemorrhoids. Methods The clinical data of 52 elderly patients (aged 60 years or over) with serious hemorrhoids treated by PPH from March 2005 to November 2007 were analyzed restrospectively. Results All the operations were successfully completed. The average operation time was (15.3±3.2) min, the average blood loss was (15±1.7) ml and the average hospitalization time was (4.5±2.6) days.Patients were followed for 1-20 months with (14.2±2.4) months for average. The follow-up rate was 92.3%(48/52). Complications included urinary retention in 18 cases(37.5%), anastomotic bleedings in 2 cases (4.2%), postoperative pain of anus in 4 cases (8.4%), recurrence in 1 case (2.1%),hypoglycemia in 1 case(2.1%), and 1 case (2.1%)was found stricture in rectum at 2 months after the procedure and no case developed rectovaginal fistula. Conclusions Old age is not the contraindication for PPH treatment of the serious hemorrhoids. Proper perioperative management may decrease the postoperative complications and improve the life quality of the patients.

Objective To explore Sex differences of total homocysteine(tHcy) levels,and relationship between serum creatinine and homocysteine,and renal regulation to homocysteine in patients with cerebrovascular diseases within normal serum creatinine concentrations. Methods The levels of fasting serum tHcy?Scr?triglyceride(TG)?total cholesterol(TCHO)?high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)?high density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were determinedin groups of cerebral infarction(CI,278 males and 160 females),cerebral hemorrhage(CH,22 males and 16 females)and transient ischemic attacks(TIAs,27 males and 20 females).The situation that patients along with hypertension and diabetes mellitus were also investigated in three groups. Results Comparison in three groups:the tHcy concentrations were significantly higher in CI than in TIAs(P 0.05). Sex comparison(327 males,196 females,from CI,CH,TIAs):the tHcy concentration were significantly higher in males than females[P
