Objective To explore hypoxemia on transportation in elderly patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC) under general anesthesia. Methods SPO 2 was monitered continuously during peridecannulation period, especially within the first 5 minutes in case of incidence of hypoxemia. Results 15 out of 100 cases were found to undergo hypoxemia with SPO 2≤92%. The incidence rate of hypoxemia was 15%(15/100). Conclusions It is important to monitor SPO 2 and administer oxygen inhalation continuously on transfer from operation room back to ward to prevent hypoxemia in elderly patients.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of heart type fatty binding protein (H-FABP) and brain natriuretic peptide (BNP)when carvedilol and bisoprolol in the treatment of elderly patients with chronic heart failure(CHF). METHODS:110 CHF patients were randomly assigned into carvedilol group and bisoprolol group (n=55). Carvedilol group was given carvedilol 3.125 mg,bid,doubling dose every 2 weeks to reach target dose 25mg or maximum tolerant dose;bisoprolol group was given bisoprolol 1.25 mg,qd,doubling dose every 2 weeks to reach target dose 10 mg or maximum tolerant dose. Treatment course lasted for 6 months. Clinical effective rate of 2 groups were observed after treatment. Echocardiography was used to measure the changes of LVEDD,LVEF,SBP and DBP before and after treatment. The plasma concentration of BNP and H-FABP were measured by radio-immunoassay. RESULTS:After treatment,total effective rate of carvedilol group(96.4%)was higher than that of bisoprolol group (89.2%),with statistical significance(P<0.05). Compared with before treatment,the levels of LVEDD,LVEF,BNP,H-FABP, SBP and DBP in 2 groups were all decreased significantly after treatment,with statistical significance (P<0.01 or P<0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Both carvedilol and bisoprolol can significantly improve cardiac function,but carvedilol efficacy is more significant. At the same time,significant decrease of H-FABP before and after treatment indicate that H-FABP can be used as a reliable index of heart failure treatment effect.

Objective To analyze the psychometric properties of the Fine Motor Function Measure Scale (FMFM) with cerebral palsied children less than 3 years old. Methods Three hundred and seventy-five children less than 3 years old with cerebral palsy were involved. The test-retest reliability, inter-tester reliability, correlation validity and structural validity of the FMFM were analyzed, as well as the responsiveness. Results The test-retest reliability (ICC = 0. 983 3 ) and the inter-tester reliability (ICC = 0. 992 4) of the FMFM were satisfactory. The correlation index between the raw FMFM scores and scores on the Peabody Developmental Motor Scale——Fine Motor was 0.919 9. The FMFM could clearly distinguish differences in fine motor function between the affected side and the intact side in children with hemiplegia. The differences in fine motor function between children with diplegia and quadriplegia could also be distinguished by the FMFM. The effect size of this scale was also good. Conclusion The reliability, validity and responsiveness of the FMFM were satisfying. The fine motor functioning of children with cerebral palsy could be effectively measured using the FMFM scale.

Objective To investigate the nursing of cancerous aching in patients during whole body hyperthermia. Methods Seventy patients with malignant tumors were carefully concerned before and after receiving whole body hyperthermia and their responses were recorded. Results The remission rate of aching was 88.55%, and the common side effects were burning of skin, bedsore, and nausea or vomiting. Conclusion The whole body hyperthermia therapy can relieve the cancerous pain, and good nursing can improve the efficacy.

AIM: To observe the effect of combined goniosynechialysis in treating absolute glaucoma after trabeculectomy.
METHODS:Phacoemulsification combined goniosynechialysis was performed on 16 patients ( 16 eyes ) with absolute glaucoma after trabeculectomy, and they were followed up for 6 ~12mo, The postoperative intraocular pressure ( IOP ) and anterior chamber depth, preoperative and postoperative medication types (quantity), preoperative and postoperative 1 month's status of anxiety and depression, symptoms of ocular surface were observed. RESULTS: The IOP decreased significantly after phacoemulsification combined goniosynechialysis. The mean IOP was 35. 00±15. 43mmHg preoperatively, and it was 12. 00±6. 69mmHg, 15. 00±4. 26mmHg and 15. 3±5.2mmHg on 1d, 6 and 12mo after the surgery. The statistic difference was found between preoperative and postoperative (t=6. 22, P<0. 05). The anterior chamber depth was 1. 45 ± 0. 19mm before the surgery, and increased to 3. 37±0. 13mm after the surgery (t=6. 65, P<0. 05). After the surgery, 2 patients needed two kinds of drugs, 2 patients needed one kind of drug. After 12mo of follow-up, anxiety and depression status were improved in all 16 patients. Subjective discomfort symptoms of 16 patients such as eye bilges, eye pain were relieved. All of the patients' eyeballs were preserved, and no serious complications.
CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification combined goniosynechialysis in treating absolute glaucoma after trabeculectomy is a safe and effective surgical option.

Objective To detect the changes of visceral sensitivity in rats presenting intestinal dysbacteriosis and the expressions of tight junction protein (ZO-1)and Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)so as to explore the effect of intestinal dysbacteriosis on visceral sensitivity and the possible mechanisms.Methods We randomly divided 30 male SD rats of SPF grade into normal control group (n = 12 )and dysbacteriosis group (n = 18 ).Rats in dysbacteriosis group were administered with lincomycin hydrochloride (300 mg/mL),1 mL each time per rat once a day for 7 consecutive days;those in normal control group were fed with the same amount of saline.On the eighth day,six rats were randomly selected from normal control group and dysbacteriosis group respectively to detect whether the model was successful.After the model was successfully constructed,the remaining 12 dysbacteriosis rats were randomly divided into the negative control group and the probiotics intervention group with 6 in each.Rats in the intervention group were given probiotic bifidobacterium triple viable capsules (Bifico)orally,one capsule with 1/3 mL of saline,1 mL each time per rat once a day for 7 consecutive days;those in the negative control group received the same amount of saline.On the eighth day,fresh feces was cultured for flora to detect visceral sensitivity by abdominal withdrawal reflex (AWR),the mRNA and protein expressions of ZO-1 and TLR4 in the colon,and the expression of serum inflammatory cytokines IL-10 and TNFα.Results The expression of ZO-1 in the colon was significantly lower in the rats of dysbacteriosis group than those in the control group,and the expression of TLR4 was also significantly increased.Correspondingly,the expression of pro-inflammatory factor TNFα in the serum of the rats in dysbacteriosis group was significantly increased,while that of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 was significantly lower than in the control group (P <0.05).Furthermore,compared with dysbacteriosis group,the expression of ZO-1 was increased significantly and TLR4 was decreased in probiotics group in varying degrees. Similarly,the expression of TNFα was obviously lower while that of IL-10 in the serum was higher (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Inhibiting the expression of ZO-1 and increasing the expression of TLR4,thus leading to chronic low-grade inflammation, may be one mechanism of visceral hypersensitivity caused by intestinal dysbacteriosis. Probiotics may restore the dysbacteriosis and thus improve visceral hypersensitivity.

Objective To investigate the relationship of urinary vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and occurrence and invasiveness of bladder cancer. Method The expression of urinary VEGF in 48 patients with bladder cancer (bladder cancer group) and 45 normal cases (control group) were examined by ELISA immunohistochemical staining. Results VEGF levels in urine in bladder cancer group [(174.77±83.41) μg/L] were higher statistically than those in control group [(63.53 ±22.62) μg/L] (P < 0.01), and related to the staging and grading of tumors. VEGF levels were significant higher in invasive lesions [(223.00 ± 83.13) μg/L] than those in superficial ones [(130.40 ± 54.86) μg/L] (P < 0.01). VEGF levels of G3 [(259.23 ± 75.82) μg/L] were significant higher compared with G1 [(138.00± 85.60) μ g/L] and G2 [(146.22 ±47.53) μ g/L] (P < 0.01). Conclusion The concentration of urinary VEGF relates to the clinical staging and pathological grading, and it is a labeling index of the biological behavior of bladder cancer.

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging features of von Hippel-Lindau disease to raise awareness of the disease. Methods The clinical and imaging data of a case of VHL patient were analyzed retrospectively and discussed with relative literature review. The patient was a 50-year-old man, who was admitted with the chief complaints of painless gross hematuria and blurred vision for 5 months. Imaging data and ophthalmoscopy examination showed bilateral multiple renal tumors, renal cysts, pancreatic cysts, hepatic cysts and retinal angioma in his right eye. He suffered a surgical operation for his cerebellar hemangioblastoma 12 years ago without family history. Results The patient underwent nephron- sparing surgery (NSS) in the left kidney. Five renal tumors were removed, and the largest tumor was 3.5 cm× 3.5 cm. Postoperative oral administration of Sorafenib agents was applied. Followed up for 4 months, the renal function was normal and the right kidney tumor reduced. Pathology confirmed the diagnosis of multiple renal clear cell carcinoma. Conclusions VHL disease is a familial autosomal dominant hereditary syndrome, with the performance of hemangioblastorna in central nervous system, visceral tumors and multiple visceral cysts. Comprehensive imaging examination plays a major role in both the diagnosis and the follow-up of VHL disease.
