To explore the molecular mechanisms underlying the immunomodulatory effects of hypertonic sodium chloride and hetastarch 40 injection (HSH) resuscition on the development of lung inflammation in a hemorrhagic shock model, Sprague Dawley rats were subjected to hemorrhagic shock and intratracheal LPS,the so called two hit rodent model.The animals resuscitated by transfusion of either Ringer's lactate(RL) or a 6ml/kg volume of HSH were sacrificed at 1,2,4 hour after resuscitation,respectively. Surface expression of adhesion molecule CD11b on circulating polymorphonuclear (PMN) was measured by flow cytometry. Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) neutrophil counts were determined.Lung tissue myeloperoxidase(MPO) activity reflecting total lung neutrophil infiltration was assessed by modified Bradly′ method. The results showed that resuscitation with HSH significantly reduced BALF neutrophil counts( P

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of dorsalis pedis parallel flaps in repairing perforating skin and soft tissue defects of the palms.
METHODSEighteen patients with perforating skin and soft tissue defects of the palms were hospitalized from July 2008 to November 2010. The area of skin defect ranged from 2.0 cm x 1.5 cm to 5.0 cm x 2.5 cm. The dorsalis pedis parallel flaps were used to repair these defects, with the area ranging from 2.0 cm x 2.0 cm to 5.5 cm x 3.0 cm. The donor sites were covered with autologous full-thickness skin from inner thigh.
RESULTSAll the 18 flaps and skin grafts of donor sites survived completely. Seventeen patients were followed up for 6 to 23 months, with mean time of 10 months, and one patient was lost to follow-up. The texture, elasticity, and appearance of all the 17 flaps were satisfactory, with no obvious pigmentation or cicatricial contracture. At the last follow-up, the distance of two-point discrimination of flaps ranged from 6 to 9 mm, with mean distance of 7.4 mm, and the sensation of flaps reached S3 in 13 patients who had nerve anastomosis.
CONCLUSIONSThe dorsalis pedis parallel flap, with reliable blood supply and flexible design, is a good choice for repairing perforating skin and soft tissue defects of the palms.

Objective To determine the effects of isoflurane on the amino acid neurotransmitter contents in rat cerebral cortex, hippocampus and spinal cord. Methods Sixteen male SD rats weighting 220-280g were randomly divided into two groups: isoflurane group (A) and control group (B). Animals in group A were killed after 30min inhalation of 1.3% isoflurane and cerebral cortex, hippocampus and spinal cord were removed immediately for determination of glutamic acid (Glu), aspartic acid (ASP), glutamine (Gln), GABA and glycine (Gly) levels by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), whereas in group B O2 was inhaled instead of isoflurane. Results As compared with control group, Asp and Glu levels in cerebral cortex and hippocampus decreased markedly while Gly level increased significantly in hippocampus and spinal cord in isoflurane group. Conclusions The inhibition of excitatory amino acid synapse transmission and augmentation of inhibitory amino acid synapse transmission may be involved in the mechanism of isoflurane anesthesia.
