Objective To compare the clinical effects between rivaroxaban and warfarin on preventing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in elderly hip fracture patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) after operation. Methods One hundred and sixty-eight elderly hip fracture patients with DM were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group. The observation group (88 cases) were treated with rivaroxaban (10mg, po, qd) after surgery, and the control group were treated with warfarin and low molecular weight heparin calcium for 14 days. Respectively after 7, 14, 21 and 28 days, the color doppler ultrasonography was used to examination vein blood flow and the DVT of affected lamb. In addition, the levels of D-dimer and bleeding were observed during treatment. Results The incidence of DVT in observation group (2 cases, 2.23%) was significantly lower than that in control group (7 cases, 8.75%), and DVT of control group was happened on 7th day after surgery. In addition, the level of D-dimer on 7th day post-surgery in observation group significantly decreased, while it significantly decreased on 14th day post-surgery in control group (P<0.05). However, the incidence of bleeding events in observation was less than that in control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Rivaroxaban can be more effective compared with warfarin in preventing diabetes mellitus elderly hip fracture patients with postoperative DVT formation and significantly reduce the bleeding risk, with more safe and convenient.

Its' layers were distinct among tissues. Conclusion This research realizd partial function of virtual anatomy, it may play a definite role on regional anatomy and sectional image anatomy teaching and clinical radiology diagnosis.

Objective To compare the application values of different blood transfusion modes in placenta previa cesarean section.Methods The clinical data in 82 pregnant women with placenta previa undergoing cesarean section in our hospital from February 2013 to January 2016 were collected.The patients were divided into the autologous group (autologous blood stored blood transfusion,n=42) and allogeneic group (allogeneic blood transfusion,n=40) according to different blood transfusion modes.The changes of blood routine indexes such as hemoglobin (Hb),platelet count (PLT),hematocrit (Hct),white blood cell count (WBC) and red blood cell count (RBC) in the two groups before and after operation were recorded.Postpartum blood lossb amounts,autologous and allogeneic blood transfusion volume were compared between the two groups.The pregnant outcomes were observed,and the incidence rates of blood transfusion complications were statistically analyzed.Results (1)The accumulative blood loss volume and allogeneic blood transfusion volume in the autologous group were significantly lower than those in the allogeneic group (P<0.05);(2) PLT and WBC after operation in the two groups were significantly increased,while RBC,Hb and Hct were decreased.The levels of postoperative Hb,PLT and Hct in the autologous group were higher than those in the allogeneic group (P<0.05);(3) the neonatal Apgar scores at 1,5 min after birth,and umbilical artery blood pH value showed no statistically significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05);(4)The total incidence rate of complications in the autologous group was significantly lower than that in the allograft group (P<0.05).Conclusion Adopting autologous blood stored blood transfusion scheme during cesarean section in women with placenta previa has no negative effect on maternal and neonatal outcomes,meanwhile which can reduce the incidence of transfusion complications,is safe and feasible.

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway (LMA) i-gel in patients required insertion of nasogastric tube before laparoscopic surgery. Methods Fifty-five ASA Ⅰ - Ⅲ patients ( Mallampati Ⅰ -Ⅲ ), aged 26-64 yr, weighing 54-73 kg, scheduled for elective laparoscopic surgery were randomly divided into 2 groups: group Ⅰ ( n= 28) and group Ⅱ ( n = 27). The size of i-gel LMA was chosen based on the patient' s weight, and i-gel LMA was inserted after induction of anesthesia with TCI of propofol and remifentanil, and iv injection of rocuronium. In group Ⅰ , the nasogastric tube was inserted through the drain tube of i-gel LMA. In group Ⅱ , the nasogastric tube was inserted through the nostril before operation. The hemodynamic parameters, SpO2 ,PETCO2 and peak airway pressure were monitored during operation. The fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores were assessed and nasogastrice tube displacement was recorled after successful LMA placement. The LMA placement time, success rate of LMA placement at the first attempt, airway sealing pressure, the occurrence of air leakage of LMA, and nasogastric tube drainage were recorded. The problems after removal of the LMA were observed and the adverse reactions within 24 h after operation were recorded. Results The hemodynamics was stable and the SpO2,peak airway pressure were within the normal range during operation in both groups. There was no significant difference in the LMA placement time, success rate of LMA placement at the first attempt, nasogastric tube drainage rate, airway sealing pressure, incidence of air leakage, fiberoptic laryngoscopy scores, problems after removal of the LMA and adverse reactions between the two groups ( P ＞ 0. 05). Conclusion i-gel LMA can provide adequate ventilation and does not interfere with the nasogastric tube drainage during laparoscopic surgery and can be used effectively for the patients required insertion of nasogastric tube before operation.

AIM: To investigate the inhibitory effect of arsenic trioxide on human glioma cell line U251 growth, change of gene expression and intracellular calcium content. METHODS: MTT method was used to observe the growth inhibition effect. Cell cycle, positive rate of proliferation cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), apoptosis associated protein Fas and Bcl-2, and intracellular calcium ion (IECa~ 2+ ) levels were measured by flow cytometry in U251 cells treated with different doses of As_2O_3. Apoptosis was detected with annexin V-FITC+PI dual parameter. RESULTS: As_2O_3 inhibited the growth of U251 cells dramatically. There were obvious dosage-effect and time-effect correlations (P0.05). The cell cycle was arrested in G_2M phase. Apoptosis occurred in U251 cells treated with As_2O_3 by annexin V-FITC+PI dual parameter detection. CONCLUSION: As_2O_3 inhibits the growth of U251 cells in vitro dramatically and induces apoptosis. The mechanism is probably associated with the improvement of Fas expression and IECa~ 2+ levels, decrease in PCNA protein expression and cell cycle arrest.

AIM:To investigate the depressant effect and mechanism of atorvastatin on the chronic rejection of aortic allograft in rats.METHODS:The models of abdominal aorta transplantation were made with micro-surgery in rats.The recipients were divided into three groups:allograft control group,atorvastatin-treated group and isograft control group.Vascular intimal thickness in all of the groups was observed by histological examination.The expression of proliferation cell nuclear antigenl(PCNA)and ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA)were determined by immunohistochemistry.The content of nitric oxide was measured by nitrate reductase chromatometry.RESULTS:The vascular intimal thickness in atorvastatin-treated group(11.60%?2.40%)was lower than that in allograft control group(34.60%?6.40%,P

Objective To investigate the pharmacological hypothermic effect of WIN55, 212-2 on neuronal apoptosis after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Methods Cardiac Arrest ( CA ) was induced in Sprague-Dawley rats.Five minutes after onset of CA, cardiopulmonary resuscitation ( CPR) was carried out.At 30 minutes post-resuscitation, the animals were randomized into three groups (n=10 in each group): (1) WIN55, 212-2 hypothermia group [W group, WIN55, 212-2, 1 mg/(kg· h)].(2) Normothermia group (NT group, 5%DMSO);(3) WIN55, 212-2 with normothermia group (W+NT group, WIN55, 212-2, 1 mg/(kg· h).Animals in WIN55, 212-2 hypothermia group and WIN55, 212-2 with normothermia group were dealt with continuous intravenous infusion of WIN55, 212-2 [1 mg/(kg· h)] for 4 h, while rats in NT group were infused with equal volume of 5% DMSO instead.The survival time and neurological deficit score ( NDS) were observed.The CA models were established in three groups.After rats were sacrificed, the brains were harvested for detecting histopathological changes and apoptosis of neural cell at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h after ROSC respectively.Five animals of each group were chosen randomly ( random number ) .Results Body temperatures of rats in W group decreased from 37°C to 34°C in 4 hours.Accumulated survival rate in W group was higher than that in the other two groups ( P=0.02) .NDS was significantly improved in W group than that in the other two groups ( P<0.05) .Morphological change in W group was less serious than that in the other two groups.The number of neuron apoptosis in W group was smaller than that in the other two groups.Conclusions WIN55, 212-2 inducing pharmacologically hypothermia during post-resuscitation prolonged survival and improved cerebral function in rat cardiac arrest models.The beneficial effects of WIN55, 212-2 were associated with ameliorating the histopathological damage in brain and alleviating the neuron apoptosis.

Objective To observe the effects of oxaliplatin on proliferation in human hepatoma cell lines QGY in vitro and investigate the mechanism. To provide the theory foundation whether it can be used for the chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinoma. Methods The inhibition of proliferation in QGY cell was estimated by MTT-test. Morphologic changes were observed under light microscope and electronic microscope. Distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis was analyzed using flow cytometry. The expression of cell cycle protein and apoptosis-associated gene protein was detected with immunohistochemical technique. Results Oxaliplatin could inhibit the proliferation of QGY cells and the inhibition depended on the exposure time and dose. The cells showed morphologic changes at the early stage of apoptosis under the light microscope: the shrunk and round cells, condensed cytoplasma and pycnosis nucleus. Apoptotic cells and apoptotic body could be found under the transmission electronic microscope. The analysis of cell cycle indicated that oxaliplatin blocked cells at S and G_2/M phases and the cells of G_0/G_1 phase reduced. When treated with oxaliplatin for 72 h, the expression of cyclin A and Bax were up-regulated, mutant type P53, Bcl-2 and Myc down-regulated, and Fas was not changed. Conclusion Oxaliplatin could inhibit proliferation of the hepatoma cell lines. Cell cycle blocked at S and G_2/M phase. The apoptosis were related to the up-regulation of Bax and down-regulation of mutant type P53, Bcl-2 and Myc. It could not induce apoptosis through the Fas approach.
