Objective: To investigate pharmacokinetics of propofol during anhepatic period of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) in children. Methods: In 5 children undergoing OLT, 2 mg/kg propofol was injected intravenously at the beginning of induction and anhepatic periods respectively. The plasma concentration of propofol was measured by reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography(RP-HPLC), and the pharmacokinetics character of propofol between anhepatic and inducing periods were compared. Results: Propofol had wide distribution and high clearance, and its plasma concentration-time curves were fitted to a three-compartment open model. Conclusion: There is no difference of propofol metabolism between anhepatic and inducing periods, suggesting that there must be notable extra-hepatic metabolism when propofol used in children undergoing OLT.

Objective To summarize the clinical features,diagnosis and treatment principles of abdomen postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome(PGS).Methods The clinical data of 28 patients with abdomen postsurgical gastroparesis syndrome,collected from our hospital in the past ten years,were analyzed retrospectively.Results All 28 patients were cured by conservation therapy.The average gastric dynamics response time was 20.2 days(12.0~34.0 days),which included 2 cases recovered within 1-2 weeks,17 cases recovered within 2-3 weeks,7 cases recovered within 3-4 weeks,2 cases recovered over 4 weeks.Conclusion PGS is a functional reaction rather than mechanical obstruction disease.The diagnosis mainly depends on the symptoms and sighs combined with gastrointestinal angiography or endoscopy.Most of the patients can be cured by conservative treatment.

OBJECTIVE To explore the resistance of Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated in clinic against five antiseptics involving in povidone iodine(Iodophor),glutaraldehyde,chlorhexidine,symclosene(trichloroisocyanurate) and benzalkonium bromide.METHODS The susceptibility test of P.aeruginosa was determined by PhoenixTM-100 system.Minimun inhibitory concentration(MIC) of povidone iodine,glutaraldehyde,chlorhexidine,symclosene and benzalkonium bromide was detected by liquid dilution method.RESULTS The resistant rates of ampicillin/sulbactam,chloramphenicol,tetracycline and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole in 190 isolates of P.aeruginosa were all more than 98.0%.However,P.aeruginosa was to imipenem and meropenem were 15.3% and 6.8%.It was found that P.aeruginosa possessed the most resistant to glutaraldehyde and symclosene with its MIC50 being 32 ?g/ml and 64 ?g/ml.But the MIC50 of chlorhexidine and benzalkonium bromide were only 1 ?g/ml and 2.4 ?g/ml.Meanwhile,time-kill assays indicated that chlorhexidine could still produce rapid and powerful bactericidal effects at a concentration of 1MIC after 10 min treatment.CONCLUSIONS There are distinct differences in P.aeruginosa against povidone iodine,glutaraldehyde,chlorhexidine,symclosene and benzalkonium bromide.It is very important that antiseptics should be used rationally.Measurements should be taken to decrease dissemination of resistant bacteria and prevent nosocomial infection.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of nuclear factor ?B inhibition on liver graft reperfusion injury during transplantation.Methods:Orthotopic liver transplantation using modified cuff technique was established in rats,animals were divided according to the grafts cold storaged in 4℃ Ringer's lactated solution with(PDTC group)or without 0.1 mol/L PDTC(control group)for 6 h.During the early stage of reperfusion,DNA binding activities of NF ?B in liver grafts were analyzed by EMSA(electrophoretic mobility shift assay),mRNA level of TNF ? and ICAM 1 by RT PCR,and activities of ALT and LDH were also detected.Results:NF ?B in liver grafts was activated at early stage of reperfusion during transplantation; PDTC treated liver displayed lower activation of NF ?B 1 h after reperfusion,whereas no difference was shown between 2 groups 6 h after reperfusion.Up regulation of TNF ? and ICAM 1 transcription,high level of ALT and LDH activities were observed in both groups during reperfusion,whereas the transcriptional up regulation and the activities of ALT and LDH in PDTC group were reduced compared with those of control group( P

Objective To study the influence of short hairpin RNA-mediated inhibition of APRIL gene on proliferation,invasion and metastasis of human colon carcinoma SW480 ceils in vitro. Methods After treatment with shRNA, the expression level of APRIL protein in human colon carcinoma SW480 cells was detected by western blotting. And cell adhesion, cell migration and cell invasion of SW480 cells transfected with sh637 were analyzed respectively as compared with non-transfected SW480 cells and mocktransfectant. Results The expression of APRIL protein in SW480 transfected with sh637 were significantly lower than mock-plasmid groups and untransfected ones (F=42.15, P=0.00). Cell proliferation was markedly inhibited, compared with untransfected groups and negative control ones (F=24.76, P<0.05).And the average absorption of cell adhesion in transfected groups, mock-plasmid and non-transfected ones were 0.343, 0.409, 0.412, respectively. Cell adhesion decreased 39% compared with untransfected groups. Similarly, there was significant difference for cell migration (F=65.53, P<0.01) between transfected groups (The average ceil number in exposed area to migrate was 47.89±13.16) and nontransfected (98.78±23.26) as well as mock-plasmid ones (108.01±39.11). Then, in view of the average absorption of cell invasion between transfected groups(0.58±0.10) and non-transfected (0.94±0.23) as well as mock-plasmid ones(1.11±0.21), a prominently difference for cell invasion was also found between them (F=5.771, P<0.05). Conclusion The results suggest APRIL has a proliferation-inducing effect and probably be involved in cell invasion and cell metastasis of colon carcinoma and it could enhance capacity of invasion and metastasis of SW480 cells.
