Objective To investigate the effect of midazolam on cardiopulmonary function during colonoscopy.Methods From June 2014 to June 2015,214 patients underwent colonoscopy were randomly divided into two groups:109 patients in the midazolam group and 105 patients in the non-sedated group(control group).systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),heart rate (HR) and peripheral blood oxygen partial pressure (SpO2) in the two groups before and after colonoscopy were compared.Results In the midazolam group,SBP and DBP decreased more during colonoscopy than in the control group.However,the frequency with a significant change in SBP was similar in both groups.During colonoscopy,HR andSpO2 decreased more in the midazolam group compared to those in the control group.SpO2 levels returned to normal after the procedure in two groups.Conclusion Midazolam has a tolerable effect on cardiopulmonary function and may be safely used during colonoscopy.

Clinical data of 289 patients aged 60 years old and above with acute intestinal obstruction operated in Drum Tower Hospital during June 2010 to December 2020 were analyzed retrospectively. Among 289 cases, 97 cases(33.6%)had tumor, 66(22.8%)had external hernias, 44(15.2%)had adhesions, 36(12.5%)had volvulus, 20(6.9%)had internal hernias, 8(2.8%)had intussusception and 18(6.2%)had other causes. Of 156 strangulated intestinal obstruction cases, 51 cases(32.7%)had external hernias,36(23.1%)had volvulus, 26(16.7%)had adhesions, 18(11.5%)had internal hernias, 14(9.0%)had tumor, 8(5.1%)had intussusception, and 3(1.9%)had other causes. There was a history of abdominal surgery in 88.6%(39/44)cases of adhesion, 85.0% (17/20) cases of internal hernia and 61.1%(22/36)cases of volvulus. For patients with acute intestinal obstruction caused by intestinal tumor, the cases of small bowel obstruction, strangulated intestinal obstruction and the strangulated large bowel were significantly less than those of large bowel obstruction, the non-strangulated intestinal obstruction and the non-strangulated large bowel obstruction (5 vs. 92, 14 vs. 80, 12 vs. 83, respectively; all P<0.05). For patients with strangulated intestinal obstruction caused by external hernias, volvulus, internal hernias and intussusception were significantly more than those with non-strangulated intestinal obstruction groups(51 vs.15, 36 vs. 0, 18 vs. 2, 8 vs. 0, respectively; P<0.05). The patients with strangulated large bowel obstruction caused by external hernias( n=4) and volvulus( n=9)were significantly more than those with non-strangulated large bowel obstruction( n=1 and 0, respectively; P<0.05). The patients with strangulated small bowel obstruction caused by adhesions( n=26)and volvulus( n=27)were significantly more than those with non-strangulated small bowel obstruction( n=18 and 0,respectively; P<0.05).The study showed that the principal causes of emergency operation for acute intestinal obstruction and strangulated intestinal obstruction are intestinal tumor and external hernias in elderly patients.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical application of 64-slice spiral computer tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA)in diagnosis of pulmonary embolism(PE).Methods:Sixty-two patients suspected of PE were examined by 64-slice spiral CTPA.The image findings combined with their clinical data were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Twenty-four of the 62 patients were confirmed to have PE by clinical data,laboratory examination and follow-up examination.64-slice spiral CTPA discovered 152 involved branches in the 24 PE patients,including 4 branches in left and right pulmonary trunk,52 in lobar pulmonary arteries,82 in segmental pulmonary arteries,and 14 in subsegmental arteries.Four types of PE were detected in our group,including eccentric filling defect in 58 branches,central filling defect in 49 branches,total occlusion of the pulmonary arteries in 21 branches,and mural embolism of host artery in 24 branches.The diagnosis accuracy of 64-slice spiral CTPA in the present group of patients was 100%,with no missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis.Besides,64-slice spiral CTPA could reflect the location,morphology,involvement and degrees of PE.Conclusion:64-slice spiral CTPA is a rapid,accurate and non-invasive diagnostic approach for PE.It is the first choice in clinical screening of PE and may serve as a gold standard for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.

Objective To investigate the effect of gastrodin on rat vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) migration induced by platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) and its possible mechanisms.Methods Enzyme digestion method wasused to obtain rataorticVSMCs and be purified bypassage.Immunofluorescence staining was used to identify VSMC marker proteins.A PDGF-BB induced cell migration model was established.Transwell chamber assay was used to evaluate the effect of gastrodin on PDGF-BB induced VSMC migration.Western blots were performed to detect the phosphohorylation levels of c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK).Results The purity of primary cultured VSMC was more than 99％.The VSMC migrated number in the PDGF-BB group was 85.2 ± 3.486 per field.It was significantly more than 42.5 ± 1.927 per field in the control group (t =9.981,P＜0.001),and gastrodin was enable to make PDGF-BB induced the number of VSMC migration significantly reduce to 71.3 ± 1.783 per filed (t=3.550,P =0.002).Western blots analysis showed that gastrodin inhibited PDGF-BB induced JNK phosphorylation (0.190 ± 0.015 vs.0.190 ± 0.015; t =14.548,P =0.000).Conclusions Gastrodin inhibits PDGF-BB induced VSMC migration,its mechanisms may be associated with the inhibition of the JNK signaling pathway activation.

Objective To explore the effects of intraventricular administration of insulin on the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax mRNA and neuronal hippocampus apoptosis in rats after cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods This experiment was implemented in the animal Laboratory center of Xuanwu Hospital of Capital Medical University.Thirty male SD rats were randomly (random number)divided into three groups:control group (n=6),CPR group (n=12),insulin treated group ( n =12).CPR was performed at 6 minutes after ventricular fibrillation induced by transesophageal overdrive pacing.Resuscitation procedures lasted until restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).ROSC was defined as the recovery of the supraventricular heart rates and the increase of mean arterial pressure (MAP) ＞ 60mmHg for more than 10 minutes.Ten minutes after ROSC in rats,12.5 μL ( 1 U) regular insulin was injected into the left ventricle in the insulin group,and 12.5 μL isotonic saline was injected the control and CPR groups at least 10 minutes.Real-time PCR was used to observe the expressions of Bcl-2,Bax mRNA in hippocampus CAI after reperfusion 24 h and 72 h.TUNEL staining was used to observe the neuronal apoptosis in all groups after reperfusion 7 days.Blood glucose was monitored in rats before and after CPR.Results ① The Bcl-2mRNA in insulin groups were significantly higher than those in the CPR group after 24 h and 72 h (P ＜0.01 ).The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA in 24 h insulin group were significantly higher than those in 72 h insulin group ( P ＜ 0.01 ) ; There were no significantly different in the Bax mRNA between insulin groups and the CPR and the control group after 24 h and 72 h ( P ＞ 0.05 ) ; ②After CPR 7 d,the apoptotic neurons of hippocampal CA1 area in the CPR group ( 124.75 ± 17.35 ) were significantly higher than those in the control group (5.12 ± 3.26) ( P ＜ 0.01 ) and the insulin group (92.79 ± 7.35 )(P ＜0.01 ); the apoptotic neurons in the insulin group were higher than those in the control group (P ＜0.0l ),and the differences were statistically significant.③There were no significant difference in venous blood glucose in the CPR and insulin groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Insulin may regulate Bcl-2mRNA expression in hippocampus,inhibit neuronal apoptosis and protect neurons after CPR in rats.

Chinese traditional patent medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis(PBCRBS) originated from traditional Chinese medicine theory and had approved efficacy and safety standards. However, its compatibility regularity and anti-thrombotic mechanism is not clear. To analyze the compatibility regularity and anti-thrombotic mechanism of Chinese traditional patent medicine for PBCRBS, a statistical and bioinformatics analysis was carried out using traditional Chinese medicine inheritance support system (TICMISS, V2.0) and ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA). The compatibility regularity analysis shows that the most commonly used herb combinations are Danshen (Salvia miltiorrhiza Bge.), Chuanxiong (Ligusticum chuanxiong Hort.) and Honghua (Carthamustinctorius L.). The anti-thrombotic mechanism analysis reveals that 25 ingredients have an effect on 29 thrombosis related molecules which 23 molecules are related to inflammation response. Furthermore, there are 5 inflammation molecules (NOS2, PTGS2, IL6, TNF, IL1β) served as major targets. At the same time, Danshen, Chuangxiong and Honghua mainly used as sovereign herb or minister herb in the application of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, Chinese traditional patent medicine for PBCRBS probably has an effect on anti-thrombotic activity through inhibiting the inflammatory response. In summary, the most commonly used herb combinations of Chinese traditional patent medicine for PBCRBS are Danshen, Chuanxiong and Honghua. Inhibiting inflammatory response, especially inflammation related molecules (NOS2, PTGS2, IL6, TNF and IL1β), is probably a new starting point to clarify the anti-thrombotic mechanism of Chinese patent medicine for PBCRBS.
