Objective To establish a rat liver transplantation model under direct vision of single operator and to explore the effect of different perfusion methods on the quality of the donor liver. Methods On the basis of the "two-cuff method" established by Kamada, the operation details were improved to established the rat liver transplantation model. The recipient rats were divided into two groups according to different perfusion methods, group A (perfusion via abdominal aorta) and group B (perfusion via portal vein). The perfusion effect, operation time, operation success rate, postoperative liver function, liver graft pathological manifestations and survival were compared between the two groups. Results There were more residual red blood cells in sinus hepaticus in group B than in group A after perfusion. Both the donor liver perfusion time and donor operation time were longer in group A than those in group B, and the differences were statistically significant (both P < 0.01). The success rate of operation in group A and group B was 77% and 71%, respectively. At 3 d after liver transplantation in rats, the levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and total bilirubin (TB) of the rats in the two groups were significantly higher than normal. At 7, 30 d after operation, compared with group A, the levels of ALT, AST and TB in group B were significantly increased, and the differences were statistically significant (all P < 0.01-0.05). The liver pathological examination showed that the degree of inflammatory reaction in the liver and degree of destruction of liver tissue in group B were more severe than those in group A, but there was no significant difference in long-term survival rate between the two groups. Conclusions Although the perfusion time and donor operation time of rat liver transplantation model were slightly prolonged by means of abdominal aorta perfusion, the perfusion effect was better, which can reduce liver tissue damage after operation and restore liver function to normal levels more quickly.

Objective To observe the effect of injecting botulinum toxin type A on muscle tension,disability level and ability in the activities of daily living in patients with post-stroke dystonia.Methods Thirty-two patients with post-stroke dystonia were divided into an observation group (n =16) and a control group (n =15).The patients in the observation group were injected with 200-600 U of botulinum toxin type A in the relevant muscles,while the patients in the control group were given 12 mg diphenhydrazole hydrochloride tablets orally.Before and 2,6 and 12 weeks after the treatment,spasticity,disability and daily living ability were evaluated in both groups using the modified Ashworth scale (MAS),a disability assessment scale (DAS) and the modified Barthel index (MBI).Results After the treatment,the average MAS,DAS and MBI scores of both groups were significantly better than before the treatment.And the average MAS,DAS and MBI scores of the observation group were significantly better than those of the control group.Conclusion Botulinum toxin A injection can significantly improve dystonia and relieve disability among stroke survivors.

Postoperative thyroid scar not only causes itching, pain, and pulling, but also seriously affects the patient’s aesthetics, so it is important to study the prevention and treatment of postoperative thyroid scar. In the past 20 years, clinicians have made many innovative researches to alleviate postoperative thyroid scar growth, and the following progresses have been made: firstly, thyroid surgery methods and surgical accesses have been improved to a certain extent, resulting in more concealed and less traumatic accesses; secondly, the use of lasers and silicone and other drugs has significantly improved the scar treatment effect; thirdly, the concept of "cosmetic" is gradually gaining popularity, and related technical means are used throughout the treatment of postoperative scarring of the thyroid gland, and multiple treatment modalities are used "early" and "in combination" to "prevent" scar growth after surgery. The use of multiple treatment modalities to prevent scar growth in the early postoperative period has achieved twice the result with half the effort.

Objective:To observe the development of elevated body temperature during surgical correction under different general anesthesias in the pediatric patients with congenital ptosis.Methods:Sixty American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification Ⅰ pediatric patients with blepharoptosis of both sexes, aged 2-10 yr, undergoing elective surgery for blepharoptosis correction, were divided into total intravenous anesthesia group(TIVA group) and combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia group(CIIA group) using a random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous propofol 1-2 mg/kg, cisatracurium 0.15-0.25 mg/kg and fentanyl 2-3 μg/kg in both groups, and then the patients were endotracheally intubated. Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous infusion of propofol 50-200 μg·kg -1·min -1 and remifentanil 0.2-0.05 μg·kg -1·min -1 in TIVA group and with intravenous infusion of propofol 25-75 μg·kg -1·min -1 and remifentanil 0.2-0.5 μg·kg -1·min -1 and inhalation of 1%-1.5% sevoflurane in CIIA group. After completion of anesthesia induction, the nasopharyngeal temperature was continuously monitored until the end of surgery, and the occurrence of elevation in intraoperative body temperature (≥37.5 ℃) was recorded. Results:The incidence of elevated body temperature was 20% and 40% in TIVA group and CIIA group, respectively. Body temperature ≥39.0 ℃ did not occur in two groups. There was no significant difference in the incidence of elevated body temperature and constituent ratio of degree of elevation in body temperature between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:When total intravenous anesthesia and combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia are used in the surgery for blepharoptosis correction in the pediatric patients with congenital ptosis, concurrent mild hypothermia is a non-small probability event, but it is safe to evaluate it in terms of the occurrence of malignant hyperthermia.

AIM:To explore the expression of calcium binding and coiled-coil domain 2(CALCOCO2)in ani-mal models of atrial fibrillation(AF)and its role and mechanism in reversing atrial remodeling in AF mice.METHODS:Twelve rats and 12 mice were randomly divided into the following 2 groups(n=6 each):saline control group(saline group)and angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ)-induced AF group(Ang Ⅱ group).Western blot and immunohistochemistry(IHC)were used to detect CALCOCO2 expression in rat and mouse atrial muscle tissues.Another 24 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups(n=6 each):saline-oeNC,Ang Ⅱ-oeNC,saline-oeCALCOCO2,and Ang Ⅱ-oeCALCOCO2.An adeno-asso-ciated virus was used to induce CALCOCO2 overexpression in mouse atrial myocardium.Subsequently,transthoracic echocardiography and intracardiac electrophysiological testing were used to compare mouse cardiac function among the 4 groups.Western blot and TUNEL staining were also used to evaluate the effect of CALCOCO2 on apoptosis of cardiomyo-cytes in AF models.Additionally,IHC was used to assess the effect of CALCOCO2 on the levels of oxidative stress-related proteins[NADPH oxidase 2(NOX2)and NOX4]and fibrosis-related proteins[collagen type Ⅰ(Col Ⅰ),connexin 40(Cx40)and α-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA)]in AF atrial myocardium.RESULTS:The CALCOCO2 protein level in the atrial myocardium of rats and mice was significantly decreased in Ang Ⅱ group compared with saline group,as detected by Western blot and IHC(0.19±0.01 vs 0.32±0.03 for rats,0.37±0.10 vs 1.00±0.10 for mice,P<0.01).Compared with Ang Ⅱ-oeNC group,the mice in Ang Ⅱ-oeCALCOCO2 group exhibited decreased left atrial inner diameter,shorter AF duration,and increased ejection fraction(P<0.05).Semi-quantitative analysis of TUNEL staining revealed a signifi-cantly decreased apoptosis rate of mouse atrial myocytes in Ang Ⅱ-oeCALCOCO2 group compared with Ang Ⅱ-oeNC group(0.30±0.06 vs 0.61±0.03,P<0.01),which was consistent with the Western blot trend of apoptosis-related proteins such as BAX(1.94±0.34 vs 3.14±0.34,P<0.05)and cleaved caspase-3(2.19±0.41 vs 3.52±0.55,P<0.05).The semi-quantitative results of IHC and immunofluorescence revealed significantly increased levels of oxidative stress-related pro-teins(NOX2 and NOX4)and fibrosis-related proteins(Col Ⅰ and α-SMA),as well as decreased Cx40 levels,in Ang Ⅱ-oeNC group compared with saline-oeNC group.However,the expression levels of these proteins were significantly re-versed after CALCOCO2 overexpression(all P<0.05).CONCLUSION:Overexpression of CALCOCO2 reverses AF-in-duced electrical and structural remodeling by inhibiting the oxidative stress,apoptosis and fibrosis in mouse atrial tissues.

ObjectiveTo explore and analyze the influencing factors of myopia among the primary and middle school students, and to provide an evidence for the prevention and control of myopia in students through the combination of scientific use in electronic products and adherence improvement to outdoor activities. MethodsStratified cluster sampling method was used to select 4 schools in Jiading District, in which all the students in grades 3‒5 of primary school and grades 7‒9 of middle school were enrolled into the study for a questionnaire survey and refraction examination. The χ² test was used to compare the data between the myopic and non-myopic group. Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors of myopia. ResultsThe total myopia detection rate among the primary and middle school students in the industrial zone of Jiading District was 62.8%, with a detection rate of 46.9% for primary school students and 75.6% for middle school students, respectively. Logistic regression analysis showed that middle school (OR=3.639, 95%CI=3.045‒4.349, P<0.001), female students (OR=1.278, 95%CI=1.081‒1.510, P=0.004), the frequency of school desks and chairs was adjusted>1 semester (OR=1.227, 95%CI=1.031‒1.461, P=0.021), the length of time spent on extracurricular tutorial classes for main courses ≥1 hour in a week (OR=1.205,95%CI=1.009‒1.440, P=0.040), parents reduced the length of time that their children spent on exercise (OR=1.205, 95%CI=1.009‒1.440, P=0.040), and parental myopia (OR=2.611, 95%CI=2.157‒3.160, P<0.001) were associated with myopia among the primary and middle school students in the industrial zone of Jiading District. ConclusionThe detection rate of myopia among students in Jiading District was relatively high. More attention should be paid to the effect of school desks and chairs’ adjustment frequency, the length of time spent on extracurricular tutorial classes for main courses, electronic screen exposure time on students’ vision, so as to prevent and slow down the occurrence and development of myopia.
