Objective To explore the value of left parasternal anterior mediastinaotomy (Chamberlain procedure) in the diagnosis of mediastinal lymph node enlargement with unknown causes and anterior mediastinal space-taking lesions. Methods By using the Chamberlain procedure, biopsy was performed in 32 cases of enlarged mediastinal lymph nodes with unknown causes or mediastinal space-taking lesions, which were found by CT scans. Results All of the 32 cases were pathologically diagnosed, with a diagnostic accuracy of 100%. Three patients with pericardial effusion received concurrent pericardial fenestration and then their symptoms relieved. Four patients underwent concurrent lung biopsy. The operating time was (48?15) min, the blood lose was ( 40.6?23.5) ml, and the postoperative hospital stay (3.6?1.4) days. No deaths or postoperative complications occurred. Conclusions Chamberlain procedure is a safe and valuable method in the diagnosis of mediastinal space-taking lesions with unknown causes or enlargement of the fifth and sixth groups of mediastinal lymph nodes, which routine mediastinoscope cannot reach. Some other simple therapies, such as lung biopsy or pericardial fenestration, can also be employed at the same time.

Purpose To investigate whether thoracotomy can induce lung injury in the operative side and the protection by ambroxol in this procedure. Methods 24 patients with esophageal carcinoma who were performed esophagectomy with anastomosis over the arcus aortae were randomized into 2 groups:an ambroxol group (ambroxol 1 g iv gtt qd×3,preoperatively) and a controlled group without any respiratory medication.General anesthesia by tracheo-cannula combined with continuous epidual anesthesia were used in all the patients.Bilateral broncho-alveolar lavage(BAL) was carried out after intubation preoperatively and before removal of the cannula postoperatively.Total Phospholipid(TPL),Saturated Phosphaytidylcholine(SatPC) and Total protein(TP) in the BALF were measured.The ratio of SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP represented the activity of PS. Results In the controlled group,SatPC/TPL and SatPC/TP of the left lung(operation side) showed significant difference(P<0.05),compared with the right side(non-operation side).In the ambroxol group,no significant difference of such ratio was showed. Conclusions Thoracotomy can induce lung injury and bring out the decrease of PS and increase of protein exudation in the operative side.Large dose of ambroxol can promote in synthesize and secretion of PS and protect those changes.

ObjectiveTo study the effects of rehabilitation training on the expression of brain derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) around the cerebral infarcted area of rats.Methods60 SD rats were randomly divided into rehabilitation group and immobilization group 24 hours after cerebral infarction.The rehabilitation group were given water maze training,rotating bar and rolling cage exercises everyday while the immobilization group were fixed in cages. Histochemistry was used to detect the BDNF expression around the cerebral infarcted area at the 1st,3rd,7th,10th and 14th day after infarction respectively.ResultsAt 1st day after the infarction, the expression of BDNF increased obviously around the infarcted area in both group. More BDNF positive neurons were found in the rehabilitation group than that in the immobilization group at 3rd day (P<0.01). BDNF positive astrocytes showed obvious increasing in both group. BDNF positive neurons decreased with time going, and the color became lighter at the same time .At the 7th day after infarction, there were only a few positive neurons, and seldom obvious positive neurons could be seen around the infarcted area at 10th and 14th day. Great deal of BDNF positive astrocytes were found at 3rd,7th,10th and 14th day, and the rehabilitation group showed more expression than that of the immobilization group(P<0.01).ConclusionsThe rehabilitation training may increase the expression of BDNF which might take an active part in the recovery of the central nervous system injury and the rebuilding of its function.

The development of informatization and modernization of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has been restricted to some degree due to the lack of sufficient modern scientific evidence to support TCM theory. Rapid development of computer technology, information and imaging technology, which can be used to explore TCM theory and mechanism, may bring hope to solve this problem. In recent years, functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been widely used to study TCM theory and mechanism. However, shortage of interdisciplinary talents those who possess both medical and engineering knowledge has restricted the development of fMRI research in the field of Chinese medicine. With the development of the discipline of TCM information science in TCM colleges and universities, students majoring in TCM information science will be the main source of researchers engaging in TCM fMRI researches. The flourishing development of TCM fMRI researches will cultivate a large number of talents adapting in TCM information science who will promote the construction of TCM information science.
