OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride on extubation stress response in elderly pa-tients during general anesthesia recovery period. METHODS:80 patients underwent general anesthesia of abdominal surgery were randomly divided into observation group and control group,with 40 cases in each group. Both groups received routine anesthesia before surgery and during surgery. 10 min before the end of surgery,observation group was given intravenous pump of dexmedeto-midine hydrochloride diluted to 10 ml 0.5 μg/kg,and control group was given constant volume of 10 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride so-lution. HR,MAP and SaO2 levels of 2 groups were compared before the induction of anesthesia (T0),at the moment of intrave-nous injection of dexmedetomidine hydrochloride or 0.9%Sodium chloride solution(T1),at the moment immediately before extuba-tion(T2),at the moment of extubation(T3),1 min after extubation(T4),5 min after extubation(T5)and 10 min after extubation (T6). Ramsay sedation score of 2 groups were compared at T0,T2,T4,T5 and T6;cough score,restlessness score,awake time(t1) and extubation time(t2)were also compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:Compared with at T0,the fluctuation of HR and MAR in 2 groups decreased significantly and became stable gradually at T4,T5 and T6,and HR and MAP of observation group at T1-T6 were significartly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05);but there was no statistical significance in SaO2 (P>0.05). There was statistical significance in Ramsay sedation score between 2 groups at T2,T4,T5 and T6 (P<0.05). The cough score and restlessness score of observation group were significantly lower than those of control group,and t1 and t2 were significantly shorter than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Dexmedetomidine hydro-chloride can relieve extubation stress reaction in elderly patients during general anesthesia recovery period with good safety.

BACKGROUND:Isoflurane cannot only induce a wide range of large neuronal apoptosis, but also inhibit hippocampal neurogenesis in neonatal rats, thereby resulting in hippocampus-dependent learning and memory defects.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the isoflurane effect on proliferation and differentiation of the hippocampal neural stem cels.
METHODS:Twenty-six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into air group and isoflurane group (n=13 per group). Rats in the isoflurane group were subjected to 2.5% isoflurane inhalation for 3 minutes folowed by 1.5% isoflurane inhalation for 4 hours. Rats in the air group only breathed in air. After the intervention, blood glucose and arterial blood gas changes were detected in the two groups. Additionaly, rats in the two groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 5-bromodeoxyuridine before and after intervention. At 24 hours after the last injection of 5-bromodeoxyuridine, brain tissues were taken to make frozen sections for immunofluorescence staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There were no significant difference in pH, PaO2, PaCO2, HCO3, BE and SaO2 levels between the two groups (P> 0.05). Compared with the air group, the number of BrdU+ cels was significantly less in the isoflurane group (P < 0.05), while the number of NeuroD+/BrdU+ cels was significantly higher in the isoflurane group (P < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions was 23% in the isoflurane group, which was significantly higher than that in the air group (7.7%;P < 0.05). These findings indicate that isoflurane can inhibit the proliferation of neural stem cels in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, and promote their differentiation into neurons.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum cholinesterase(CHE) level with the severity and prognosis in patients with acute cerebral infarction. Methods A total of 325 patients with acute cerebral infarction were recruited as patients group,and another 101 healthy sub?jects were selected as control group. Velocity method was employed to detect the level of serum CHE. Patients with acute cerebral infarction were then divided into different groups according to the infarcts diameter and the modified Rankin scale(mRS)at 1 year post stroke. The collected data were analyzed statistically. Results The level of serum CHE in small and medium area infarction group was higher than control group(P<0.01);the level of serum CHE in large area infarction group was lower than control group(P<0.01);the level of serum CHE was negatively correlated with infarct size,NIHSS and the mRS score(r=-0.302,-0.232,-0.455,P<0.001). The level of CHE,age,NIHSS and infarcts diameter was identified as independent influence factors for prognosis of acute cerebral infarction. Conclusion Early phase of serum CHE level is closely related with the infarct size and illness severity index in patients with acute cerebral infarction,which could be an independent factor affecting the prognosis of cere?bral infarction.

AIM To study the effects of Lotusine(Lot), a pure alkaloid extracted from the green seed embryo of Nelumbo nucifera Gaertn, on the action potentials(APs) in myocardium and slow inward current(Isi) in cardiac Purkinje fibers(PF). METHODS standard microelectrode and two microelectrodes voltage clamp techniques were used. RESULTS Lot 1~100 ?mol?L -1 could concentration dependently prolonged APD 20 and APD 90 of fast AP and increase the contractile force(Fc) in guinea pig papillary muscles. In papillary muscles pretreated with reserpine, similar results were also observed but the effect of Lot was weaker than those pretreated without reserpine. In guinea pig left atria, Lot 30 ?mol?L -1 could partly antigoniste the shortening APD effect of acetylcholine. Lot 3~100 ?mol?L -1 could enhance the action potential amplitude(APA)and maximal velocity of phase 0 depolarization ( V max ) of slow AP of papillary muscles induced by high K + (24 mmol?L -1 )and isolated sinoatral node(SAN) pacemaker cells of rabbits with dose dependent manner,But not obvousely short the sinus cycle length of SAN. Moreover, Lot increased the Isi of in canin cardiac PF with with time dependent and dose dependent manner. CONCLUSION The results suggest that Lot has effect of prolongation of APD and increase of Ca 2+ influx and these are very important in contribution to its positive inotropic effect, which may be related to inhibition of phosphodiesterase Ⅲ.

Background and purpose:We investigated whether lfuorine-18 lfuorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) maximal standard uptake value (SUVmax) of the primary tumor (SUV-T), SUVmax of the regional lymph nodes (SUV-N) or the overall loco-regional lesion SUVmax (SUV-TOTAL) was related to survival of patients with stage Ⅲ non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who received Cetuximab and combined definitive chemoradiotherpay. Methods:From September 2009 to July 2012, seventeen patients with unresectable stageⅢNSCLC receiving cetuximab with cisplatin/vinorelbine (NP) followed by concomitant NP and intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) at the Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center were enrolled onto a prospectively study. All patients received positron emission tomography/computerized tomography (PET/CT) scans within 2 weeks before enrolment. Univariate analysis were used to assess the correlation between SUV-T, SUV-N, SUV-TOTAL, gender, age, histology, tumour-node-metastasis (TNM) stage, performance status (PS) as well as smoking status and survival. The factors which showed statistical signiifcance entered into multivariate Cox-regression model. Survival functions of different populations were estimated by Kaplan-Meier method and compared by Log-rank test. Results:In the univariate analysis, SUV-T, SUV-N, SUV-TOTAL, PS and smoking status were prognostic factors. The best cut-off values for SUV-T, SUV-N and SUV-TOTAL were 11, 11 and 20, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that SUV-TOTAL (P=0.012), SUV-T (P=0.025), and SUV-N (P=0.033) were independent predictors of survival with hazard ratio (HR) of 14.7, 11.2, and 6.2, respectively. Conclusion:Local, regional and locoregional maximal SUVs deifned by 18F-FDG PET-CT scanning may have a strong correlation with survival in this patients setting, which merits further study.

OBJECTIVETo introduce the application of pedicled anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap for total penile reconstruction and to investigate its feasibility and effect.
METHODSFrom May 2011 to May 2015, 12 male patients presented with absence of the penis or congenital malformation received phalloplasty with the pedicled ALT flap. Of them, the median age was 35 years old (range, 20-57 years). The size of the flaps ranged from 11 cm x 11 cm to 12 cm x 15 cm. 8 patients underwent urethra reconstruction with tube-in-tube flaps and other 4 patients with scrotal septal flaps. In this series, we performed one-stage urethral anastomosis in 4 cases and second-stage urethral anastomosis 6 months after the phalloplasty in 8 cases.
RESULTSAn acceptable reconstructed phallus was achieved in 10 patients. These flaps were primarily healed with satisfactory functional and cosmetic results. The reconstructed penis was completely necrosis because of the flap failure in one case. The distal half of the phallus was lost due to infection in one case. Both of them were treated with pedicled ALT flap from the other side. Reliable results were achieved. At a median follow-up of 1.5 year (range 1 to 4 years), 9 patients (90%) were fully satisfied with phallic cosmesis and size, and 4 patients who was married had successful sexual intercourse. 8 patients had normal urinate function. Fistula was developed in 2 patients (20%) which was treated with delayed repair at 6-12 months with local scrotal flaps.
CONCLUSIONSThe pedicled ALT flap can be simply used to reconstruct an entire penis as well as a urethra. It has several advantages including a less conspicuous donor site, greater bulk, better color match and no necessary for microsurgery.

Background and purpose:Clinical data show that Endostar, a recombinant human endostatin, has the therapeutic beneift for patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) while combined with chemotherapy or ra-diotherapy. However, the microenvironment changes induced by Endostar monotherapy in NSCLC is not yet clear. The purpose of this study was to prospectively study tumor vascular effects of Endostar monotherapy in patients with locally advanced or advanced NSCLC by dynamic contrast-enhanced perfusion computed tomography (CT perfusion, CT-p). Methods:Previously untreated patients with histologically or cytologically conifrmed locally advanced or advanced NSCLC were eligible. All patients received daily Endostar (7.5 mg?m2) for 14 days. CT-p scans were acquired at the baseline and post-treatment. CT-p parameters, such as blood lfow (BF), blood volume (BV) and permeability surface PS (area product), were measured in all patients.Results:Of all 7 patients enrolled, four were staged asⅢB and three as stageⅣ (2 with malignant pleural effusion, 1 with brain metastasis). The median BF, BV and PS values of baseline and post-treatment were 27.1/48.9 mL/100 mL/min, 86.8/84.8 mL/100 mL and 45.0/54.0 mL/100 mL/min, respectively. After administration of Endostar for 14 days , BF showed a signiifcant increase compared with that at baseline (P=0.028), whereas no signiifcant changes were found in BV (P=0.398) and PS (P=0.237) values.Conclusion:Our results suggest that Endostar monotherapy induces a signiifcant increase in BF whereas no signiifcant difference in BV and PS.

Objective To understand the anatomical features of the mine wound and provide anatomical basis for the treatment through anatomical observation of the mine wound amputation stump. Methods Three mine wound amputation stumps were dissected. The nerves, arteries and veins were separated and the length of the muscle,nerves,blood vessels and bleeding area were measured,respectively. The sec-tions of muscle tissue were observed by microscope. Results Most of the muscle tissues,nerves and blood vessels were torn and the fractures were comminuted. Observed by the microscope found that the distal muscle tissue was broken,the muscle fiber was contracted,ruptured and mortified. The muscle tissues of proximal part showed edema,most of the muscle fiber was normal and light stain,their texture was fuzzy. Conclusion The mine wound has remote effect. The shock wave of mine explosion may spread along the limbs,which leads to the tissues ruptured and hemorrhage.
