Objective To observe the influences of combined general and epidural anesthesia on hemodynamics.Methods Twenty one patients were randomly divided into two groups, general anesthesia (GA group, n=11) and combined general and epidural anesthesia (GA+EA group, n=10). With Swan Ganz technique, hemodynamic parameters were measured 5min following 0.6 and 1.0 MAC enflurane inhalation in GA group, and 5min following 0.6 MAC enflurane inhalation and 10min after combined epidural lidocaine in GA+EA group.Results Compared with the baselines, in both groups with 0.6 MAC enflurane inhalation, MAP decreased significantly (P0.05); in GA group with 1.0 MAC enflurane inhalation, MAP, HR, SVR, SI and CI decreased significantly (P0.05). As compared with those following 0.6 MAC enflurane inhalation, only in GA+EA group MAP and SVR decreased, and SI rose obviously (P

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of scleral buckling procedure on old retinal detachment. Methods The clinical data of 42 patients (46 eyes), including 24 males (27 eyes) and 18 females (19 eyes), with old retinal detachment treated by scleral buckling procedure in our department were retrospectively reviewed. The duration of the disease ranged from 1 month to 2 years. All the patients were with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and combined with mainly predominantly-subretinal proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) (stage C), including stage C1 of PVR in 16 eyes (34.8%), stage C2 in 19 eyes (41.3%), and stage C3 in 11 eyes (23.9%). Scleral buckling was performed on 13 eyes (283%) and cerclage combined buckling on 33 eyes (71.7%). Sterile air was injected into 36 eyes (78.3%) during the operation, and C3F8 was introvitreal injected into 7 eyes (15.2%) after the operation. Results The follow-up duration was from 6 months to 1 year (mean 7.3 months). Retina was completely reattached in 31 eyes (67.4%), and was alleviated obviously in 12 eyes (26.1%). The subretinal fluid increased after the operation with un-reattached retina and vitrectomy was performed in 2 eyes. One eye underwent vitrectomy due to the development of PVR. After the first operation, the curative ratio of retinal detachment was 67.4%, and effective ratio (cure and alleviation) was 93.5%. The visual acuity improved in 28 eyes (60.9%), kept no change in 11 eyes (23.9%), and decreased in 7 eyes (15.2%). Conclusion Reattachment of retina and improvement of visual acuity can be achieved in some degree in some patients with old retinal detachment who undergo simple scleral buckling procedure without vitrectomy.

Objective To study the value of helical multi-phase contrast scanning in the preoperative evaluation of cholangiocarcinoma hilar.Methods Pre-and post-contrast CT scanning of upper abdomen were performed in 26 cases with hepatic portal cholangiocarcinoma.Arterial phase scan of the whole liver began at 30 s after initial injection of contrast medium and the portal venous phase scan started at 70 s.15 of 26 cases underwent additional delayed phase scans began at 3~4 min.Thin thickness(3~5 mm)scanning of hepatic portal was used in each post-contrast phase scanning.The location,size,enhancement patterns of the lesions and the extent of the tumor involvement were observed and surgical resecetability was evaluated.Results All of 26 lesions were detected in helical multi-phase contrast scanning. 16 lesions enhanced on the arterial phase. On the portal venous phase, all lesions were enhanced and marked enhancement was seen in 19 lesions. Prolonged enhancement was seen in 15 lesions on the delayed phase scanning. The accuracy of evaluating surgical respectability was 84.62%. Conclusion Multi-phase contrast scanning combined with thin thickness scanning can demonstrate obviously the location and enhanced patterns of hepatic portal cholangiocarcinoma, the accuracy in evaluating surgical respectability is improved, and it is helpful in choosing the preoperative treatment program and assessing the prognosis.

Objective To research clinical significance of electrocardiogram(ECG) measuring in diagnosis of hyperkalemia. Methods ECG changes and serum potassium concentration from 72 cases have been analyzed and contrasted. Results Forty-one cases with hyperkalemia are detected by ECG changes. Coincidence rate is up to 56.9% with serum potassium test. When the serum potassium concentration exceeds 5.5mmol/L, the accuracy of ECG in diagnosis of hyperkalemia was 22.2%. The main features arc peaked T wave with tabernacle shape ;when the serum potassium concentration exceeds 6.7mmol/L, the accuracy of ECG in diagnosis of hyperkalemia was 74.3%. The main features are ST debased,P wave with low amplitude and time limit increased. Some patients appeared sinus node-ventride conduction. One or two appeared malignant ventricular arrbythmia; when the serum potassium concentration exceeds 10.0mmol/L,the accuracy of ECG was 100% ,most patients appeared malignant ventricular. Conclusion The electrocardiogram measurement has the better consistency with serum potassium test, and abnormal electrocardio-gram will be eccurred,when mixed other electrolyte unbalance. Pseudo-hyperkalemia can be distinguished accurately and conveniently by using this method.

OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively review the safety and application of induced pluripotent stem cel s.METHODS:A computer-based online retrieval of PubMed and CNKI was performed to search relevant papers published from January 2006 to April 2016, with the key words of“induced pluripotent stem cel , reprogramming, clinical application, safety, transcription factor, disease mode”in English and Chinese, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In recent years, research on induced pluripotent stem cel s has attracted much attention from the scientific community and the medical community, and this technique has successful y gained induced pluripotent stem cel s and overcome the problems of immunity and ethics. However, it is limited to the theoretical and laboratory research due to the inability to solve the safety, efficiency and re-differentiation mechanism of induced pluripotent stem cel s. Therefore, we are faced with enormous difficulties and chal enges, which involve al aspects of basic research, including how to safely and effectively induce the differentiation of induced pluripotent stem cel s into the desired cel type and how to establish a suitable disease model as wel as a high-throughput drug screening platform.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determination of 9 residual organic solvents in blonanserin as methanol, alcohol,isopropyl alcohol,acetonitrile,dichloromethane,hexane,ethyl acetate,tetrahydrofuran and methylbenzene. METHODS:Headspace gas chromatography was adopted. The determination was performed on DB-624 capillary column using temperature pro-gramming.

Objective To explore the effect of N2O with High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) on SKVO3 through observing the influence of HIFU and N2O, separated and combined, on SKVO3. Methods The cultured SKVO3 cells were divided into 4 group: control group: without any treatment; N2O group: blowed by N2O 60 minutes; HIFU group: irradiated by HIFU (250W, 5s) and N2O-HIFU group blowed by N2O 60 minutes and irradiated by HIFU (250W, 5s). Flow cytometric method and Annexin V-FITC/PI binding assay were applied to detect cell death and apoptosis, and western blot test to detect Cytochrome C, Capase 3, Bax, Bcl-2 and GAPDH. Results The cell death and apoptosis in N2O-HIFU group were significant higher than those in other groups(P < 0.05). The results of western blot showed that in N2O-HIFU group, CytochromeC, Caspase 3 and Bax increased remarkably, but Bcl-2 significantly suppressed. Conclusion HIFU combininh with N2O could enhance the killing of SKVO3 cell.

Purpose To evaluate the feasibility of using dual-energy CT scanner to differentiate two contrast media bismuth and gadolinium. Materials and Methods Two phantoms containing contrast media of different ratio were scanned on dual-energy CT. Group 1 was mixture of iodine and gadolinium solution with volume ratio of 0∶1, 1∶6, 1∶1, 6∶1 and 1∶0. Group 2 was mixture of iodine and bismuth solution with mass ratio of 0∶1, 1∶6, 1∶1, 6∶1, 1∶0. Monoenergetic image reconstruction was performed at 80 keV. Liver VNC software was used for virtual scanning and iodine concentration analysis. Results Under 80 keV reconstruction, the measured CT attenuation of Group 1 was 379-383 HU, and 170-173 HU in group 2. The iodine concentration of two groups was not signiifcantly different between the calculated and actual iodine concentration (P>0.05). The dual-energy CT can distinguish two contrast media. Iodine and gadolinium contrast media were not statistically different, while iodine and bismuth contrast media agent could be easily differentiated. Conclusion Dual-energy CT can distinguish two contrast media with different attenuation.
