Objective To discuss the influence on cerebral oxygen balance and metabolism of propofol target controlled infusion induced tracheal intubation in patients with laparoscopic surgery.Methods A total of 96 patients with gynecologic laparoscopic surgery were selected from January 2012 to October 2013.All patients were in propofol target controlled infusion anesthesia induction downward internal jugular vein retrograde through jugular vein ball tube,radial artery catheter.According to propofol target controlled infusion target concentrations,96 patients were divided into A group (32 cases,3 μ g/ml),B group (33 cases,5 μμg/ml) and C group (31 cases,7 μg/ml).Hemodynamic and Nacotrend index (NI) change were monitored in the process of surgery patients,with internal jugular vein and radial artery blood at pre-induction (To),intubation (T1),30 min after intubation (T2) and the end of the operation (T3) were detected and arterial blood oxygen saturation (PaO2),arterial oxygen content (CaO2),internal jugular vein ball blood oxygen saturation (SjvO2),internal jugular vein ball blood oxygen partial pressure (PjvO2) at different time points were compared among three groups.Artery-internal jugular vein ball low blood oxygen of components (Da-jvO2),brain oxygen uptake rate (CEO2),poor lactic acid content (Da-jvL) were calculated.Results The systolic blood pressure,heart rate and NI at T1,T2 was lower than that at To in three groups,and there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05),but there was significant difference in NI at T1,T2 among three groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with T0,PaO2,PjvO2,SjvO2 and CaO2 at T1-T3 in three groups were increased significantly (P ＜ 0.05),and the highest was C group,and then B group and A group.In the process of propofol target controlled infusion,Da-jvO2,CEO2 and Da-jvL showed a trend of gradual decline,Da-jvL decline highest significantly (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Propofol target controlled infusion induced endotracheal intubation can decrease the laparoscopic surgery in patients with cerebral oxygen metabolism and the brain tissue of ischemia hypoxia tolerance,but will not lead to cerebral oxygen supply and demand imbalance,and 7 μ g/ml concentration of propofol anesthesia effect is the best.

Objective To investigate the effect of bisphosphonate medication (zoledronic acid,aclasta) on spinal fusion for osteoporotic patients through radiographic,clinical,and biological assessments.Methods A total of 79 patients with osteoporosis who were candidates for single-level posterior lumbar interbody fusion was randomly assigned to the experimental group (zoledronic acid injection,5mg,on the third day after surgery) or the control group (the same amount of saline injection,on the third day after surgery).Functional radiography and CT scans were used to evaluate fusion status.Bridging bone formation was graded into 3 categories:Grade A (bridging bone through bilateral vertebral),Grade B (bridging bone through a unilateral vertebral),or Grade C (incomplete bony bridging).The incidence of vertebral compression fractures occurring after surgery was assessed by means of MR imaging.A solid fusion was defined as less than 5° of angular motion in flexion-extension radiographs and the presence of Grade A or B bridging bone.Bone metabolic markers (β-C-terminal telopeptide of type Ⅰ collagen,β-CTX; and N-terminal propeptide of type Ⅰ collagen,PINP) were measured to investigate the biological effects of zoledronic acid on spinal fusion.Bone mineral density of femoral neck was measured by the dual X-ray absorptiometry.Clinical outcome was evaluated by means of the Oswestry Disability Index (ODI).Results Grade A or B bridging bone was more frequently observed in the experimental group at 3,6,and 9 months postoperatively (all P ＜ 0.05,respectively,Mann-Whitney U-test).At 12-months postoperative follow-up,bridging bone and solid fusion were not significantly different.No vertebral fractures were observed in the experimental group,whereas 6 patients in the control group showed vertebral compression fractures(P ＜ 0.05,Mann-Whitney U-test).Biochemical analysis of bone turnover demonstrated that zoledronic acid inhibited bone resorption from the early phase of the fusion process and also suppressed bone formation.Poor clinical results in the control group were demonstrated by ODI.Conclusions Osteoporosis patients undergoing spinal fusion who take bisphosphonates throughout the postoperative period was recommended.

Objective To discuss causes and corresponding prevention for groin pain occurred early after total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods A retrospective study was done on 189 cases(193 hips)treated with THA including unilateral procedures in 185 hips and bilateral procedures in eight hips to analyze common causes for early groin pain.Results Groin pain was found in 9.3% hips(18/ 193)during hospital stay,including 1.6%(3 cases)with deep infection,1.6%(3 cases)with incision infection,1%(2 cases)with posterior dislocation,4.1%(8 cases)with leg lengthening and 1%(2 cases)with hematoma.Conclusions Despite of the numerous diagnostic alternatives available to the orthopedic surgeon,detailed history,careful physical examination,necessary laboratory and imaging stud- ies can contribute to a correct determination of causes for groin pain.Meanwhile,appropriate indication, accurate preoperative radiographic measurement,intraoperative standardized surgical procedures and per- fect rehabilitation are necessary to avoid complications.

BACKGROUND: At present, the commercial artificial small vascular grafts (diameter < 6 mm) are still unsatisfactory, due to poor blocompatibility and low long-term patency rate. Therefore, finding a vascular substitute with normal biological function and studying construction and function of tissue-engineered blood vessel have become hot topics recently.OBJECTIVE: To construct a novel tissue-engineered blood vessel by rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and vascular acellular matrix, and to investigate the biocompatibility and patency rate of tissue-engineered blood vessels.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vitro randomized controlled study at level of cytology and histopathology was performed at the Laboratory of Affiliated Drum Tower Hospital of Nanjing University Medical School from January 2006 to June 2008.MATERIALS: The decellularized vascular acellular matrix was obtained by a detergent-enzymatic procedure. MSCs from rabbits were isolated using density gradient centrifugation method and cultured in culture flasks coated with fibronectin. Subsequently, the expanded MSCs were seeded on the decellularized scaffolds, and then co-cultured in the self-made bioreactor to construct the tissue-engineered blood vessels.METHODS: Sixty rabbits were randomly divided into three groups. A1.0-cm abdominal aorta was sheared, and a tissue-engineered blood vessel was transplanted on the abdominal aorta using 8/0 polypropylene thread. Tissue-engineered blood vessel group: Tissue-engineered blood vessel was considered as the transplanted vessel; vascular acellular matrix group:Xenoma artery treated by vascular acellular matrix was considered as the transplanted vessel; xenoma artery group: Fresh xenoma artery was considered as the transplanted vessel.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Immunocytochemical staining was used to identify the cultured MSCs. After 3 months of transplantation, the grafts were retrieved for digital subtraction angiography, pathological test and scanning electron microscope examination.RESULTS: Rabbits MSCs presented a whirlpool-like appearance at 8 days after culture. The immunocytochemistry results were consistent with the phenotype of MSCs. After high proliferation, MSCs were seeded onto the vascular acellular matrix for 12 days,and seed cells attached to well in the lumen of blood vessels. Three months after implantation, the patency rate was 90% of tissue-engineered blood vessel group and 80% of vascular acellular matrix group, which was superior to xenoma artery group (25%). At three months after transplantation, HE staining and scanning electron microscope demonstrated that internal, middle,and external membrane were clearly observed in the tissue-engineered blood vessel group, and the membrane morphology was similar to normal artery. The endothelial cells were covered completely. However, the endothelial cells were not covered completely in the vascular acellular matrix group, while mural thrombosis, mild proliferation of intima, and inflammatory cell infiltration were observed. The intima was thick and necrotic in the xenoma artery group, while lumens were stenotic and accompanied with a certain degree of thrombus organization.CONCLUSION: This study provides a new strategy to develop a tissue-engineered blood vessel with excellent biocompatibility and high patency rate constructed by rabbit MSCs and vascular acellular matrix.
