Objective To compare the ventilatory effects between three-way laryngeal mask airway (TLMA)and tracheal catheter (TC) on hemodynamics, respiratory function and stress responses on patients during bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL). Method Forty patients scheduled for BAL under general anesthesia were divided (stratified sampling) into either TLMA group (group T,n = 20) or TC group (group C, n = 20) according to the stratified sampling principle. SpO2, SBP, DBP and HR were measured in 5 min after entering the operating theater (To), just before inserting TLMA or TC(T1), immediately after inserting TLMA or TC(T2) ,3 min(T3), 5 min(T4), 10 min(T5)after mechanical ventilation, 10 min(T6),20 min(T7), 30 min(T8)during the course of BAL,immediately after extubating TLMA or TC (T9)and 3 min after extubating TLMA or TC (T10). The tidal volume (VT), peak inspiratory airway pressure (Ppeak) and end expiratory CO2 pressure(PETCO2)were recorded at T2,T4,T6,T7, T8, T10. The venous blood samples were taken at T0, T2, T3, T4, T6, T9, T10 for the measurements of epinephrine(AE), norepinephrine(NE)and dopamine (DA) levels with high performance liquid chromatography.Data were dealt with SPSS version 10.0 statistic software. The variables of hemodynamics and stress responses were analyzed with ANOVA of repeating test data. P < 0.05 means the difference in statistical significance. Results In group C, SBP, DBP and HR were significantly higher than those in group T at T2 ,T3 ,T9 (P < 0.05). In group C, the levels of Ppeak were significantly higher than those in group T at T6 ,T7 ,T8 (P < 0.05), and the concentrations of AE, NE and DA were also significantly higher in group C than those in group T at T2, T3 and T9 (P <0.05). Conclusions Ventilation with TLMA in patients during BAL is better than TC in respects of keeping stable ventilation, stable hemodynamics and producing less stress responses.

Three-way laryngeal mask airway (tLMA) was used in 31 patients aged 4-68 yr, weighing 10- 79 kg undergoing tracheal foreign body removal under general anesthesia. Anesthesia was induced with propofol 3 mg/kg, vecuronium 0.12 mg/kg and remifentanil 0.4 μg/kg. tLMA was inserted. The patients were mechanically ventilated. Anesthesia was maintained with iv infusion of propofol 2 mg . Kg-1 ? H-1, vecuronium 0.08 mg·kg-1·h-1 and remifentanil 0.15 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 . Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring and blood sampling. The operation time was 6-34 min and mechanical ventilation time 19-45 min. There was no significant change in SP, DP, HR, VT, Ppeak and Ppeak CO, during operation as compared with the baseline values before anesthesia. SpO2 was significantly increased at T2-6. PCO2, PO2 and O2sat were obviously improved after tLMA was used. All the patients emerged bom anesthesia within 30 min after operation. No aspiration, obvious gastrointestinal inflation, and pharyngeal and laryngeal edema and injury occurred. Mild agitation occurred in a short time during the recovery period in one patient. No complication occurred.

Objective To clarify the relationship between the basivertebral foramen (BF) and the retropulsed bone fragment (RBF) in thoracolumbar burst fracture (TLBF) and further explain the mechanism of RBF formation.Methods From June 2013 to June 2016,Sixty-two patients suffering from TLBF with RBF were collected.The characteristics of RBF as well as the parameters of vertebral body were studied using CT reconstruction imaging.In the transverse images,the lengths of RBF (RL) and vertebral body (VL) were measured.In median sagittal images,the heights and widths of RBF (RH,RW) and vertebral body (VH,VW) were also obtained.The ratios of different parameters of RBF and vertebral body (RL/VL,RW/VW,RH/VH) were calculated,and then defined the location relationship of RBF and BF.Eight frozen cadaveric spine were selected and evaluated by Micro-CT scans.Each vertebral body was divided into three layers (Superior,Middle,Inferior).Each layer was further divided into 9 regions (R1-R9),named as SR1-SR9,MR1-MR9,IR1-IR9.Microarchitecture parameters of each region in each layer,including bone volume fraction (BV/TV),bone mineral density (BMD),trabecular connectivity (Corn.D),and trabecular number (Tb.N) and thickness (Tb.Th) were calculated,and their differences were also analyzed to see if the trabecular bone distribution would be affected by BF.In vitro study,burst fractures were simulated on cadaveric spines by using bursting fracture simulator,aiming to observe the RBF morphology and imaging findings to future investigate the relationship between RBF and BF.Results The length and height of RBF were close to half of vertebral body length and height (RL/VL:0.497±0.059,RH/VH:0.485±0.036).The width of RBF was usually one-third of vertebral body width (RW/VW:0.319±0.025),which indicated that the fracture block was often located in the posterior of vertebral body above the BF.BV/TV,Tb.N in the MR2 and MR5 regions were lowest than other regions and the SMI of MR2 and MR5 was largest than others.SR5 was the lowest region in superior lawyer that was corresponded to regions most affected by burst fracture.In simulated burst fractures,the fracture line of RBF went across the vertex or upper surface of the BF and the lower boundaries of RBF were also the upper bound of the BF.Moreover,the damage sites of posterior longitudinal ligament were mainly located at the edge of the BF.Conclusion At the bone defect region,the BF is the weakest area in the vertebral body which may affect the distribution of trabecular bone surrounding it.When subjected to vertical violence,these regions undergo fracture first which impact the anterior and lower boundaries of RBF.Ultimately,RBF was produced upon the BF,involving all or part of the upper bound of the BF.

Objective: To investigate the detection rates and inlfuencing factors of atrial septal defect (ASD) and ventricular septal defect (VSD) among neonates in two cities of East China and to provide scientiifc basis for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and monitor of ASD and VSD. Methods: 2100 newborns with gestational age of at least 28 weeks were recruited consecutively from each city between 2013-09 and 2014-11. Data related to ASD and VSD were collected by questionnaires and echocardiographic screening was conducted within 7 days after birth. Results: A total of 4152 neonateswere examined with gestational age of (39.03 ± 1.29) weeks, among whom 2189 were male infants (52.72%), and age of mother was (26.32 ± 4.10) years old. Detection rates of ASD and VSD were 60.5‰ and 12.8‰ respectively, showing no significant difference between genders (P>0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that maternal pre-pregnancy BMI and home decoration were the inlfuencing factors of ASD and maternal drug use in early pregnancy was the inlfuencing factor of VSD among newborns. Conclusions: Detection rates of ASD and VSD among neonates were relatively high in two cities of East China. Early screening is importtant to reduce the incidence of ASD and VSD and improve the prognosis.

Objective To quantitatively compare the diagnostic capability of 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG in well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) bearing mice by microPET/CT imaging.Methods The in vitro cellular uptake, in vivo microPET/CT imaging and biodistribution studies of 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG were quantitatively compared in SMMC-7721-based well-differentiated HCC.The human fibrosarcoma (HT-1080) and human colorectal adenocarcinoma (HT-29) cells/xenografts were respectively used as positive and negative reference groups for CD13.The expression of CD13 was qualitatively verified by immunohistostaining.The levels of CD13 and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) were semi-quantitatively analyzed by Western blot test for all 3 types of tumors.Two-sample t test was used for data analysis.Results The in vitro cellular uptake showed that the 68Ga-NGR uptake in SMMC-7721 and HT-1080 cells was higher than that in HT-29 cells, and the 68Ga-NGR uptake was higher than 18F-FDG uptake in SMMC-7721 cells.The in vivo microPET/CT imaging results revealed that the uptake of 68Ga-NGR in SMMC-7721 tumor was (2.17±0.21) %ID/g, remarkably higher compared to (0.73±0.26) %ID/g of 18F-FDG uptake (t=8.826, P<0.01).The tumor/liver ratio of 68Ga-NGR was 2.05±0.16, which was 2.03-fold higher than that of 18F-FDG.In the HT-1080 tumors, the uptakes of 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG were both high, and the values were (2.46±0.23) %ID/g, (3.47±0.31) %ID/g.The uptake of 68Ga-NGR was significantly lower than that of 18F-FDG in HT-29 tumors: (0.67±0.20) %ID/g vs (3.17±0.29) %ID/g;t=4.221, P<0.01.Western blot and immunohistostaining results were as follows: HT-1080(CD13+, G6Pase-), SMMC-7721(CD13+, G6Pase+), HT-29(CD13-, G6Pase-).Conclusions The uptake of 68Ga-NGR is higher than 18F-FDG uptake in SMMC-7721 tumor bearing mice, therefore it is worthwhile to consider the feasibility of clinical translation for PET/CT in diagnosis of HCC.Furthermore, because of the difference in 68Ga-NGR and 18F-FDG avidities in tumors with different molecular phenotypes of CD13 and G6Pase, there is an underlying potential for molecular imaging in the determination of molecular phenotypes.
