Objective To investigate the sedative effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine with mid-azolam in spinal anesthesia. Methods 130 cases of spinal anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups,group D1 and group D2,with 65 cases in each group. Patients in 2 groups were given midazolam and dexmedetomidine with different doses. The heart rates ,blood pressure ,SpO2 ,Narcotrend value and Ramsay sedation scores were recorded at mutiple time points. The working time ,maintaining time of sedative effect ,and adverse reactions were compared between 2 groups. Results MAP,HR and NT decreased significantly in 2 groups(P < 0.05,respec-tively). The keeping time was relatively longer in group D1 compared with group D2(P<0.05). The working time was faster in group D2 compared with group D1. The rate of bradycardia in group D2 was relatively higher than that in group D1. Conclusion Good sedative effect can be obtained by drug in 2 groups. Group D1,with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg+dexmedetomidine 0.3μg/kg,may have a certain advantage in anaesthesia in the spinal canal.

Objective To evaluate the influence of chronic urticaria on the quality of life in patients by the DLQI, and to assess the factor structure and reliability of the DLQI. Methods The DLQI (Chinese version) was used to evaluate the quality of life of outpatients with CU. The reliability and factor structure of the DLQI were evaluated by reliability analysis and factor analysis. Results Eighty-five patients were asked to complete the DLQI and 13 patients were excluded for other complicated disorders or unanswered items in the DLQI. The mean age was 33.43 ± 0.90 years in the 72 patients with a median clinical course of 6 months. The DLQI score, which varied from 1 to 23 with an average of 9.46 ± 0.61, was uncorrelated to the patients' age,sex, or clinical course of CU (all P ＞ 0.05). The impact of CU was observed mainly on the "synptoms and feeling" (50%), followed by "work and study" (40.67%). Factor analysis indicated that there were two dimensions with eigenvalues greater than 1.0, accounting for 53.7% of the variances. Reliability analysis showed that the Cronbach's α value was 0.836, and reached 0.849 if the item 1 in the DLQI was deleted. An analysis of variance showed that the F value was 31.88 (P ＜ 0.01 ), and Hotelling T2 test yielded an F value of 29.87 (P ＜0.01 ). Conclusions CU has a moderate impact on the quality of life in patients. DLQI can be applied to the evaluation of quality of life in patients with CU with a high reliability, but more attention should be paid to the interference from item 1 to the reliability of the assessment.

AIM: To investigate the role of Ca2+ - activated, delayed - rectifier and ATP sensitive K+ channel (KCa, Kdr, KATP) in airway hyperresponsiveness of asthmatic guinea pigs. METHODS: The method of recording the tone of isolated trachea rings was performed, and the changes of dose-response curves of trachea rings to histamine caused by different K+ channel blockade were investigated. RESULTS: (1) After inhibition of KCa, by tetraethylammonium (TEA) , the dose - response curve of trachea rings to histamine did not change in control group, while the maximal contraction of trachea rings to 10-4 mol/L and 10-3 mol/L histamine decreased significantly ( P

Objective To explore the application value of ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy(FNAB) in diagnosing thyroid nodules of TI-RADS 4-6 categories.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on the pathologic data of 494 patients (totally 501 nodules) who underwent TI-RADS ultrasonographic stratification and ultrasound-guided FNAB.168 thyroid nodules of TI-RADS 4-6 categories were selected from 163 patients and classified into three groups:group T,TI-RADS 4A categories;group Ⅱ,TI-RADS 4B category; group Ⅲ,TI-RADS 5-6 category(the pathologically confirmed cases in category 6 had been removed).The ultimate pathologic findings were taken as golden standards to calculate the accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value of ultrasound-guided FNAB in the three groups.ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of FNAB.Results The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value of the ultrasound-guided FNAB in the three groups were listed as follows:group Ⅰ 74.4％,73.3％,75.0％,64.7％;group Ⅱ 83.9％,87.5％,71.4％,91.3％;group Ⅲ 89.3％,91.7 ％,75.0％,95.7 ％ respectively.The positive predictive values of the ultrasound-guided FNAB for group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ was higher than that of conventional TI-RADS classification criteria,so the difference was statistically significant; while the positive predictive values for group Ⅲ was close to the conventional ultrasound TI-RADS classification criteria,the difference was not statistically significant.Conclusions The combination application of TI-RADS classification criteria and FNAB can improve the accuracy of ultrasound diagnosis in group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ,and reduce the puncture rate of group Ⅲ.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the upper extremital artery supply and vein running back in the patients after peripheral vascular surgery by Na99mTcO4 trace imaging(TTI).Methods SPECT static imaging was performed on 36 patients after peripheral vascular surgery in vein injecting Na99mTcO4 740 MBq 5min.The radioactivity uptake of operated limb(finger)/normal limb(finger) ratio(T/NT) was analyzed using region of interest analysis.0,Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ scales were classified according to their radionuclide distribution and T/NT,were divided into A,B,C and D group,respectively.Localy warming and anticontrctive therapy were only given in A and B group for 30min,routine therapy in C group,and raising operated limb (finger) and reductive pressure treatment in D group.Then,exploratory surgery was performed on 0 scales and Ⅲ scales of TTI again.Results A,B,C and D group were 11,7,13 and 5 patients,their T/NT was (0.142 ± 0.058),(0.384 ± 0.046),(0.794 ± 0.072) and (1.12 ±0.076),respectvely,and there were significant differences among the groups(t =2.33a,4.33b,6.90b,2.59a,5.73b,2.12a,aP ＜ 0.05,b P ＜ 0.O1) ;TTI again showed:there were 7 cases of 0 scales (arterial thrombosis was confirmed by exploratory surgery) and 4 cases of Ⅰ scales in A group,3 cases of Ⅰ scales and 4 cases of Ⅱ scales in B group,all 13 cases of Ⅱ scales in C group,4 cases of Ⅱ scales and 1 case of Ⅲ scales(vein thrombosis was confirmed by exploratory surgery) in D group.Conclusion TTI could play an important role in economical,simple and notraumatic diagnosing the extremital artery supply and vein running back in the patients after peripheral vascular surgery.

Objective To investigate and assess the clinical effect of treatment of children′s fractures at distal radial or radial-ulna through incision and Kirschner wire′s interior fixation without coursing epiphysis.Methods The treatment of children′s fractures at distal radial or radial-ulna in our hospital between 1996 and 2005 were reviewed,91 cases via Kirsehner-wire′s internal fixation were dealt.According to the way of placing Kirschner wire,the patients were divided into 2 groups.Group A of 53 cases eschewing epiphysis and passed bone-cortex.Group B of 38 cases got intramedullary fixation and passed epiphysis for 38 cases.After 6-100 months′ follow-up investigation,the 2 groups were comporred by analyzing statistics and the number of cases which involved repeatedly setting of Kirschner wire during operation,anatomical restoration,replacement,Kirschner-wire moving,infection,wrist′s dysfunction and bridge between the epiphysis.Results The fractures in both groups were recovering well.Besides,both were at the low rate of repeated replacement,Kirschner wire moving and infection.However,there were significant differences on repeated setting of Kirschner wire during operation,wrist′s dysfunction and bridge between the epiphysis,of which group B were higher than those in group A.Conclusions While the children′s fractures at distal radial or radial-ulna will be reduced by incision and fixing with Kirschner wire,the way of eschewing epiphyses and passing bone-cortex is better because it accords with anatomic character of children.It can not only fix reliably and bring satisfying clinical treatment effect,but also cause little complication.Thus,it is superior to the way of intramedullary fixation and passed epihysis.

The purpose of this study was to fabricate decelluarized valve scaffold modified with polyethylene glycol nanoparticles loaded with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), by which to improve the extracellular matrix microenvironment for heart valve tissue engineering in vitro. Polyethylene glycol nanoparticles were obtained by an emulsion-crosslinking method, and their morphology was observed under a scanning electron microscope. Decelluarized valve scaffolds, prepared by using trypsinase and TritonX-100, were modified with nanoparticles by carbodiimide, and then TGF-β1 was loaded into them by adsorption. The TGF-β1 delivery of the fabricated scaffold was measured by asing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Whether unseeded or reseeded with myofibroblast from rats, the morphologic, biochemical and biomechanical characteristics of hybrid scaffolds were tested and compared with decelluarized scaffolds under the same conditions. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed a typical delivery of nanoparticles. The morphologic observations and biological data analysis indicated that fabricated scaffolds possessed advantageous biocompatibility and biomechanical property beyond decelluarized scaffolds. Altogether this study proved that it was feasible to fabricate the hybrid scaffold and effective to improve extracellular matrix microenvironment, which is beneficial for an application in heart valve tissue engineering.
