Objective:By analyzing clinical data, discuss the clinical efficacy of balloon dilatation for the treatment of tuberculous scarred airway stenosis and factors affecting efficacy. Methods:Selected 13 cases airway stenosis caused by tracheobronchial tuberculosis.Airway stenosis was confirmed and measured by bronchoscopy and CT before balloon dilation. Balloon dilatation with forming expansion was conducted once a week. We evaluated the shortness of breath scores, measuring FEV1, FVC and the diameter of airway before and after dilation. The long-term outcome and lung function improvement were evaluated. Results:Thirteen cases were treated by balloon dilation with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. The airway diameter before and after the treatment, shortness of breath score, FEV1, FVC have improved significantly, the difference was significant(t=15.596, t=-27.657, t=-14.604, t=-41.766;P<0.05). Conclusion:Balloon dilation treatment for tuberculous scarred airway stenosis can achieve better results.

AIM: To study the electrophysiological effects of nitric oxide (NO) on the pacemaker cells in guinea-pig left ventricular outflow tract under the condition of ischemia/reperfusion ( I/R) .METHODS:The spontaneous slow action potentials of guinea-pig left ventricular outflow tract were recorded by conventional intracellular microelectrode technique.The effects of NO donor sodium nitroprusside ( SNP) on the spontaneous slow action potentials under normal or I/R condition were investigated.RESULTS:SNP at concentrations of 1, 10 and 100μmol/L but not 1000μmol/L signif-icantly increased velocity of diastolic depolarization ( VDD) and rate of pacemaker firing ( RPF) , SNP at concentrations of 1, 10, 100 and 1 000μmol/L notably increased maximal diastolic potential (MDP), amplitude of action potential (APA) and maximal rate of depolarization ( Vmax ) , shortened 50%and 90%of the duration ( APD50 and APD90 ) .In ischemia 10 min group, VDD and RPF were significantly decreased, APA and Vmax were notably increased, and APD50 and APD90 were markedly lengthened compared with control group.In reperfusion 10 min group, VDD and RPF were significantly in-creased, MDP and APA were notably decreased, and APD50 and APD90 were markedly shortened compared with I 10 min group.In reperfusin 10 min group, the pacemaker activity was always irregular.In reperfusion 10 min group, the parame-ters of spontaneous slow action potentials restored to the levels of control group except for VDD and Vmax .In 1, 10 and 100 μmol/L SNP+R groups, VDD and RPF were significantly increased than in ischemia 10 min group .In 1, 10, 100 and 1 000 μmol/L SNP+R groups, APA, APD50 and APD90 were restored to the levels of control group.CONCLUSION:SNP significantly increases the spontaneous activity of left ventricular outflow tract, and relieves the effects of I/R on the sponta-neous slow action potential markedly.

Objective To explore the effect of task-driven teaching methodology based on the action research on cardiopulmonary resuscitation training. Methods The 80 nurses recruited in 2011 were assigned in the control, receiving routine training while another 80 nurses recruited in 2012 were in the study group, where task-driven teaching methodology was used based on the action research. The two groups were compared in terms of results of theoretical and operational examinations. Result The study group was significantly better than the control group in the scores of theoretical and operational examinations ( P < 0 . 05 ) . Conclusion The task-driven teaching methodology based on the action research not only increases the examination results, but also improves the effect of teaching.

Objective To observe auditory brainstem response evoked at different electrode positions adopting electrode slices .Methods The ABRs of 12 normal guinea pigs (24 ears)were recorded by two methods using clicks as stimulation .Active electrode was positioned at the vertex while the ground electrode at the nose .The reference e‐lectrode was placed on bilateral pinnas or mastoids .Then observe waveforms ,response thresholds (RT) ,peak la‐tencies(PL) and inter-peak latencies (IPL)of ABR .Results No significant difference were observed in the RT ,Ⅰ ,Ⅱand Ⅲ PL ,Ⅰ - Ⅲ IPL of ABR between the two methods(P>0 .05) .When stimulation was decreasing and with the reference electrode slices placed at bilateral pinnas ,waveⅡpeak was stable and discernable of ABR record‐ings across twenty -four ears of guinea pigs .The amplitude decreased more slowly than any other waves ,and dis‐appeared at the last .While reference electrode slices were placed on bilateral mastoids ,the amplitude of wave Ⅲ de‐creased more slowly than any other waves except wave Ⅳ ,and disappeared at lost .Ⅱ - Ⅲ ,Ⅲ - Ⅳ IPL became shorter .These two positions both recorded amplitude higher and PL advanced for wave Ⅳ as the stimulation de‐creased by 20 to 40 dB nHL ,and Ⅲ - Ⅳ IPL became shorter .This phenomenon was more obvious when reference electrode was placed at mastoid .Conclusion Wave Ⅱwas more stable and discernible with reference electrode placed at the bilateral pinnas .Therefore wave Ⅱ recorded by this way can be a new method to record the ABR threshold of g uinea pig s .

Objective To investigate the effect of long hairpin RNA ( lhRNA) expression vector targeting HBV X gene ( HBx) on replication of hepatitis B virus ( HBV) and gene expression.Methods Four kinds of small interference RNAs ( siRNAs) were synthesized and lhRNA expression vectors targeting HBx were constructed.Four siRNA oligonucleotides and two lhRNA expression vectors were transfected into HepG2.2.15 cells.HBsAg, HBV DNA in culture supernatants and HBx mRNA in HepG2.2.15 cells were detected by time-resolved immunofluorometric assay, real-time quantitative PCR, and reverse transcription PCR, respectively.Negative sequence group or empty vector group was taken as the control.Independent-samples t test was performed to evaluate the inhibition effect on replication of HBV and gene expression. Results Compared with the negative control, HBsAg, HBV DNA level in culture supernatants and HBx mRNA in HepG2.2.15 cells were significantly decreased after siRNA-1 and siRNA-4 transfected at high concentrations (60 nmol/L or 90 nmol/L) (P<0.05), especially the HBsAg and HBV DNA levels in the siRNA-1 transfection group, which were significantly decreased at 24, 48 and 72 h after transfection ( P<0.05 or P <0.01 ) . Two lhRNA expression vectors ( pMD-HBxlh1 and pMD-HBxlh4 ) were successfully constructed and transfected into HepG2.2.15 cells, HBsAg and HBV DNA level in transfected cells was significantly lower than those in negative control (P<0.05).Conclusion The novel siRNA-1 is confirmed to target HBx gene and lhRNA expression vector targeting HBx can effectively inhibit the replication of HBV and expression of HBV gene.

Aim To explore the effects of acupuncture and sinomenine on the withdrawal symptoms,on the spontaneous discharge and synaptophysin expression of amygdala of heroin-addicted rats.Methods 75 SD rats were randomly and equally divided into 5 groups consisted of control,heroin-addicted,acupuncture,sinomenine and combined treatment group.The model of heroin-addicted rats were established with heroin subcutaneous injection,which in acupuncture,sinomenine and combined group were subsequently punctured at 3 acupoint(Neiguan,Baihui and Zusanli),intramuscular injected with sinomenine and treated with combined methods(acupuncture and sinomenine)respectively.The withdrawal symptoms of rats in different group were evaluated,and then the spontaneous discharges and synaptophysin expression of amygdala were detected with electrophysiological and immunohistochemical technology respectively.Results The heroin-addicted rats were successfully established,being suggested by typical withdrawal symptoms induced by naloxone(P<0.01 vs control),which were alleviated in the 3 treatment groups(acupuncture,sinomenine and combined ) with varying degree(P<0.01 vs heroin group).The electrophysiological results suggest that the forms of low-frequency and single irregular discharges in amygdala were increase,bunchy/cluster and complex discharges were decreased(P<0.05 vs control),which were reversed apparently in sinomenine and combined treatment groups(P<0.05 vs heroin group),closed to control.The immunohistochemical results show that expression of synaptophysin in amygdala was increased obviously(P<0.01 vs control),which was decreased in the 3 treatment groups(acupuncture,sinomenine and combined),P<0.01 vs addicted group.Conclusion Treatments of acupuncture and sinomenine administration can alleviate withdrawal symptoms of heroin-addicted,and rectify the abnormal spontaneous discharges and expression of synaptophysin in amygdala of heroin-addicted rats for certain degree,especially with combined treatments.
