Objective To compare the cerebral protection effect of unilateral and bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion during total aortic arch replacement. Methods From June 2003 to March 2004, 16 patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement were divided into two groups, randomized: unilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (unilateral group, n=8) and bilateral antegrade cerebral perfusion (bilateral group, n=8). Preoperative and postoperative brain CT scan were performed. During the operation, the pressure in innominate artery and left common carotid artery were monitored. Blood gas samples were drawn from jugular venous bulb. Results There was no postoperative death and all patients were discharged from hospital. No new brain infarction occurred. Transient neurological dysfunction occurred in 1 patient of each group. In unilateral group, the pressure in innominate artery was higher than that in left common carotid artery during antegrade selective cerebral perfusion (P0.05). Conclusion Both methods of brain protection for patients undergoing total aortic arch replacement resulted in favorable levels of mortality and morbidity. The circle of Willis was patent and collateral flow was adequate. Unilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion has the advantage of simplicity. The bilateral perfusion pressure was more even in bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion, and whether bilateral antegrade selective cerebral perfusion carry a higher risk of embolism need further investigation.

Objective To evaluate various immediate managements of traumatic posterior urethral disruption in children. Methods 22 boys,2 to 14 years of age,with pelvic fracture and posterior urethral disruption were treated.There were 5 cases of partial urethral disruption,4 being managed by immediate suprapubic cystostomy and 1 by urethral catheterization.Of 17 cases of complete urethral disruption,6 underwent immediate suprapubic cystostomy with anastomosis of the disrupted ends later.The other 11 cases underwent primary urethral anastomosis via the perineum route. Results All the 5 partial disruption were cured without any complication.In 6 cases of complete urethral disruption with immediate suprapubic cystostomy,delayed repair was undertaken in 5. Of the 11 cases with primary urethral anastomosis,success and satisfactory result have been achieved in 10.Only 1 needed urethrostomy for further management. Conclusions For incomplete urethral disruption suprapubic cystostomy alone is indicated.For complete urethral disruption,primary urethral anastomosis via the perineal route would yield good result with much less chance of complications.

Objective To investigate the expression of retinol binding protein 4(RBP-4) in maternal scrota and subcutaneous adipose tissue and its relationship with insulin resistance(IR)in gestational diabetes mellitus(GDM).Methods From May 2008 to April 2009,62 pregnant women who underwent elective cesarean section in the Department of Obstetrics.Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University Medical College,were recruited,including 32 with GDM(GDM group)and 30 with normal glucose tolerance test(control group).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to determine the serum concentrations of RBP-4 and radio immunoassay to measure the serum levels of fasting insulin (FINS).Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) was tested by glucose oxidase,and the Home model insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR)Was caleulated.Reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR)and Western blot were applied to investigate the expression of RBP-4 mRNA and protein in subcutaneous adipose tissue.The correlations between the expression of RBP4 mRNA and protein in subcutaneous adipose tissue and the serum RBP-4 concentrations and HOMA-IR were analyzed. Results (1) The serum concentrations of RBP-4、FINS、FPG、HOMA-IR in GDM group were significantly higher compared with the control group [(27. 0 ±1.2) mg/L vs. (19.4±1.8)mg/L, (12.1±1.4)mU/L vs. (8.3±0.8)mU/L, (5.3±0.9)mmoL/L vs.(4. 1±0. 6) mmol/L, 2. 5 ± 0. 2 vs. 1.5 ± 0. 1, P < 0. 05, respectively]. ( 2 ) The expression of RBP-4 mRNA and protein in subcutaneous adipose tissue in the GDM group were significantly higher than that of the control group (0. 76 ± 0. 12 vs. 0. 53 ± 0. 06, 0. 74± 0. 09 vs 0. 54 ± 0. 06, P < 0. 05). (3) In the GDM group, the expression of both RBP-4 mRNA and protein in the subcutaneous adipose tissue were positively correlated with HOMA-IR(r=0. 575 and 0. 851, P < 0. 05). The serum concentration of RBP-4 were also positively correlated with HOMA-IR (r = 0. 635, P < 0. 05 ). No correlations was found between the expressions of RBP-4 mRNA and protein in subcutaneous adipose tissue with the serume RBP-4 concentrations. Conclusion High expression of RBP-4 mRNA in subcutaneous adipose tissue and the elevation of serum RBP-4 levels in GDM women may contribute to IR.
