Objective To investigate the effects of midazolam on extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1 (ERK1),ERK2 and cyclic AMP response element binding protein (CREB) phosphorylation in hippocampal in rats.Methods Eighty male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 40) : group control (group C) and group midazolam (group M).The animals underwent a continuous multi-trial inhibitory avoidance training .The times of trial needed for each animal to attain the learning criterion ( 100 s) were recorded.Each animal was given intraperitoneal midazolam 3 mg/kg or normal saline 2 ml/kg at 15 min before training.The memory retention was tested at 0.5,1,2 and 24 h (n = 8,at each time point)after the training session and the memory latency was recorded.The animals were sacrificed 15 min after administration (T0) and after the memory testing (T1-4) and hippocampns was obtained for determination of phosphorylated ERK1 (p-ERK1),p-ERK2 and p-CREB expression.Results Compared with group C,the times of trial to attain the learning criterion were significantly increased,memory latency shortened at T2-4,ERK1 phosphorylation decreased at T0,3.4 while ERK2 and CREB phosphorylation decreased at T0-4.Conclusion Midazolam can inhibit ERK1,ERK2 and CREB phosphorylation in hippocampal in rats.
6.Combined application of laparoscopy and endoscopy in the treatment of gastrointestinal diseases
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2009;8(5):324-326
In recent years, the concept of minimally invasive surgery has become accepted by the surgical community, though there are limitations in locating small gastrointestinal tumors when laparoscopy is used alone. Meanwhile, endoscopy is an excellent tool for locating these small tumors, though one must take extreme care to avoid hollow viscus perforation. Combination of laparoscopy and gastroduodenoscopy has extensive application in the resection of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, sessile gastric polyps and early gastrointestinal carcinoma. During laparoscopic operation, the endoscopist can help to locate the tumor or polyp. Endoscopy can also help to determine whether or not the tumor or polyp has been resected completely. In performing traditional laparoscopic colectomy for left-sided colonic tumors, specimen retrieval necessitates a mini-incision which is often the cause of postoperative pain, wound infection, and other pain-related complications. The combination of laparoscopy with transanal endoscopic microsurgery is feasible for selected patients with left-sided colonic tumors, and complications related to mini-incision can be avoided completely. Combination of laparoscopy and gastrointestinal endoscopy also benefits patients with acute bowel obstruction prior surgical operation. With the help of perineum-bowel tube, sigmoidoscopic technique can relieve acute bowel obstruction, so that these patients may have chance for laparoscopic operation. In summary, this hybrid approach can not only decrease surgical incisions, but also avoid some of the surgical risks of emergent operations.

9.Comparison of epileptogenic focus localization using magnetoencephalography and video electroencephalogram
Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(35):6991-6994
BACKGROUND: A considerable number of epilepsy patients cannot be treated sufficiently by drug. Epilepsy surgery is a treatment option in these cases. However, precisely localizing epileptogenic zone in epileptic patients is a successful element of epilepsy surgery. Its goal is to remove a minimum volume to control the seizures without cognitive impairment. Presurgical evaluation typically involves electroencephalogram (EEG), video-EEG monitoring, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), single photon emission computed tomography and neuropsychological testing. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) has been as a noninvasive technique to be used to epilepsy surgical planning and brain functional study in many countries.OBJECTIVE: To preoperatively localize epileptogenic zone in patients with lesion-associated epilepsy using magnetoencephalography, compare with noninvasive video-EEG, and assess its localizing value according to the surgical outcomes. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A retrospective case analysis was performed at the Magnetoencephalography Laboratory, Guangdong 999 Brain Hospital, China between November 2001 and December 2005.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 618 epileptic patients undergoing magnetoencephalography. Spontaneous magnetic field signal was collected to analyze single dipole location. Of them, 149 patients with MRI-documented epilepsy underwent surgery. The history of disease was at least 2 years. The course of disease ranged 2-35 years, with an average of 9.5 years. METHODS: MEG was recorded by a 148-channels whole head type MEG system (Magnes WH2500, 4-D Neuroimaging, San Diego, CA, USA) in Magnetically Shielded Room (MSR, Germany). Sampling rate: 508.63 Hz, 30-minutes interictal MEG (Bandpass: 1.0-100 Hz). For magnetic source imaging, the nasion and preauricular points were applied as fiducials. Single equivalent current dipole (ECDs) and head sphere model were applied for analysis. Estimated ECDs were overlaid on T1-weighted MRI of each subject.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Preoperative MEG, MRI, and video-EEG and postoperative follow-up were measured. RESULTS: The sensitivity of the interictal MEG for detecting epileptiform activity was found in 91% of the patient. In most cases, the equivalent dipoles were mainly distributed over the border and neighborhood of the structural lesions. By MEG, we were able to localize the resected region in a greater proportion of patients (62.4%, 93/149) than with noninvasive vedio-EEG (38.9%, 58/149) in all patients with MRI-documented lesions. A total of 89 patients were followed up from 3-35 months, averagely 9 months. Of the 89 patients, 72 patients (80.9%) had no postoperative seizures (EngelⅠ); 7 (7.9%) cases obtain Engel Ⅱ and Engel Ⅲ outcomes. Favorable outcomes were not seen in 10 patients (11.2%) cases (Engel Ⅳ and Engel Ⅴ). Total effective rate was 88.8% (EngelⅠ-Ⅲ). CONCLUSION: MEG is not only most useful for presurgical planning in epilepsy patients with MRI-documented lesions, but is also a noninvasive method to identify the spatial relationship between the lesion and epileptogenic zone, a precise localization of the epileptogenic zone is correlated to a favorable outcome.
