OBJECTIVE:To study the adhibition of misoprostol combined with palace cavity attraction tube in the treatment of painless abortion after cesarean section. METHODS:214 patients who received painless abortion after cesarean section were ran-domly divided into group A(71 case),group B(71 case)and group C(72 case). After all patients were given conventional intrave-nous anesthesia,Group A was given misoprostol 0.6 mg for oral administration in preoperative 2 h. Group B was given Misoprostol tablet 0.2 mg abrasive powder put in posterior fornix in preoperative 3 h. Group C did not give any drugs. All the groups used dis-posable suction curettage tube. The efficacies of sedation and cervical dilatation,operation time,intraoperative blood loss,recovery time,dosage of propofol and incidences of complications and adverse reactions in the 3 groups were observed. RESULTS:The op-eration time,intraoperative blood loss in group A were lower than group B and lower than group C,the differences were statistical-ly significant(P<0.05);recovery time and dosage of propofol in group A were lower than group B and C,the differences were sta-tistically significant(P<0.05),howerer,there was no significant difference between group B and C(P>0.05). The total effective rates of sedation and cervical dilatation in group A and B were significantly higher than group C,and the difference was statistical-ly significant(P<0.05),however,there was no significant difference between group A and B(P>0.05). The incidence of compli-cations in group A was lower than group B and lower than group C,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among 3 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The efficien-cy and safety of misoprostol for oral administration or medicated vaginal suppository combined with palace cavity attraction tube in the treatment of painless abortion after cesarean section is similar,but oral administration can reduce the dosage of anesthetics,op-eration time and smaller intraoperative blood loss volume.

Objective To study the effect of baicalin on the expression of receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) in cultured human periodontal ligament cells (HPDL cells) as well as its action mechanism. Methods We first constructed small interferring RNA (siRNA) eukaryotic expression vector targeted transforming growth factor ?Ⅱ receptor (TGF-?RⅡ),and then transfected it into T cells. Then HPDL cells together with T cells transfected with siRNA or not were placed in medium that had been added with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and baicalin. They were divided into six groups and cultured for 48 hours. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to observe the effect of baicalin on OPG-RANKL expression in HPDL cells. Results The clone sequence correctly identified by RT-PCR was consistent with the designed target sequence. The recombinant vector was constructed successfully and the expression of TGF-?ⅡR of T cells which had been transfected with siRNA1 was inhibited obviously. Ratio of RANKL/OPG in each group differed significantly (P

BACKGROUND:Chitin has been found to be a good biomaterial, but research on chitin carrying corneal epithelial cel s for rabbit corneal epithelial injury is little reported. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the repair outcomes of chitin hybrid membrane carrying corneal epithelial cel s in the rabbit corneal epithelial injury.METHODS:Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were enrol ed and made into left corneal epithelial injury models, and then randomized into two groups and treated with chitin hybrid membrane carrying corneal epithelial cel s (experimental group) and chitin hybrid membrane (control group), respectively. The damage area, histological changes and ultrastructure of the cornea were observed at 1, 3, and 7 days after implantation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Damage area of the cornea in the experimental group was significantly less than that in the control group at 1 and 3 days after implantation (P<0.05), and the cornea in both two groups healed wel at 7 days after implantation. At 7 days after implantation, in both two groups, the corneal epithelium with six layers adhered to the corneal stroma closely, which was repaired completely and regularly. Comparatively speaking, the cornea in the experimental group possessed smooth outer layer. Besides, in the experimental group, the hexagonal corneal epithelial cel s arranged closely with flat surface;while the hexagonal corneal epithelial cel s in the control group showed no smooth surface and gaps between cel s. These results indicate that chitin hybrid membrane carrying corneal epithelial cel s promotes the repair of rabbit corneal epithelial injury.

BACKGROUND:Chitosan nanoparticles-encapsuled sodium hyaluronate is an effective drug for the burned cornea. OBJECTIVE:To verify the effect of sodium hyaluronate/chitosan nanoparticles on the neovascularization in burned cornea. METHODS:Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups, and the model of burned cornea caused by base was established in the rats of model and experimental groups, fol owed by respectively treated with 10μL sodium hyaluronate/chitosan nanoparticle suspension and normal saline, once daily, for consecutive 4 weeks. Rats only given normal saline were used as controls. Four weeks later, the dynamic growth of newly formed blood vessels in the cornea was observed using silt lamp. The levels of tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin-6 were detected by ELISA, histological changes of the cornea were observed by hematoxylin-eosin staining, and the mRNA expression levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and cyclooxygenase 2 were detected by real-time PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the area of the newly formed blood vessel and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, vascular endothelial growth factor and cyclooxygenase 2 were significantly increased in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). In the experimental group, al above indicators were significantly lower than those in the model group (P<0.05). There were a large number of inflammatory cel s and neovascularization in the model group, but only few inflammatory cel s in the experimental group. These results show that sodium hyaluronate/chitosan nanoparticles can inhibit the neovascularization in the burned cornea.

Objective To observe the analgesic effects of dexmedetomidine combined with dif-ferent-doses of sufentanil in patients undergoing spine surgery.Methods Sixty patients(ASA grade Ⅰor Ⅱ degree,age 18-70 years)undergoing spine surgery were randomly assigned into three groups ac-cording to PCA formulation(n =20):3 μg/kg sufentanil group (group S1),1.5 μg/kg dexmedetomi-dine+ 2 μg/kg sufentanil group (group S2 )and 1.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine + 1 μg/kg sufentanil group (group S3).The same anesthesia method was applied among three groups.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia pump was applied before 30 minutes prior to the end of surgery.The drugs in each group were diluted to 1 50 ml and infused by a pump at a rate of 3 ml/h with a patient-controlled analgesia (PCA)bolus of 0.5 ml and lock time of 30 minutes.VAS and Ramsay scores at 2 h(T0 ),4 h (T1 ),8 h(T2 ),12 h(T3 ),24 h(T4 )and 48 h(T5 )after surgery were estimated.Postoperative nausea and vomiting,bradyrhythmia and hypersomnia were also recorded.Results Compared with group S1, VAS of groups S2 and S3 was significantly decreased at T1-T5 (P <0.05).There were also no signifi-cant difference in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting,bradyrhythmia and hypersomnia among three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine of 1.5 μg/kg can significantly reduce the dosage of sufentanil on postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing spine surgery,and decrease the rate of postoperative nausea and vomiting without any bradyrhythmia and hypersomnia.

Objective To compare the analgesic effects of epidural Morphine versus lumbosacral plexus block in patients undergoing hip joint replacement.Methods A total of 94 ASA Ⅰ ～ Ⅱpatients undergoing hip surgery with combined spinal epidural anesthesia(CSEA) were selected and randomized into 4 groups:Group M received a single epidural injection of 2 mg Morphine for analgesia,Group MN1 received an epidural injection of 1 mg Morphine combined with lumbosacral plexus block,Group MN2 received an epidural injection of 2 mg morphine combined with lumbosacral plexus block,and Group N received lumbosacral plexus block.All patients were administered intramuscular parecoxib for 3 days after surgery and,if the visual analogue scale(VAS)≥4,additional intramuscular tramadol.Patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA) was applied if pain relief was insufficient after Tramadol treatment.Postoperative analgesic effects,the ability to ambulate and side effects were monitored.Results VAS scores gradually increased in the 4 groups after surgery and were higher between the morning of the 1st day and the evening of the next day than at 4 hours after surgery in all the 4 groups.There were no significant differences in VAS scores between rest and exercise conditions in any of the 4 groups.Ambulatory VAS scores were lower in Groups MN1 and MN2 than in Groups M and N 6 hours after surgery,while resting VAS scores had no significant differences between the 4 groups.Resting and ambulatory VAS scores were both lower in Groups MN1 and MN2 than in Groups M and N 6 hours after surgery,while they had no significant differences between either Groups MN1 and MN2 or Groups M and N 4-8 hours after surgery.Resting and ambulatory VAS scores were lower in Groups M,MN1 and MN2 than in Group M on the morning of the day after surgery,and more patients in Group N needed early tramadol and PCIA for rescue analgesia.Muscle strength was lower in Groups MN1 and MN2 than in Groups M and N 4 hours and on the morning of the day after surgery.No significant differences between the groups were found in standing ability 6 hours after surgery and in motor activity on the morning of the day after surgery.The incidence of urinary retention was higher in Groups M and MN2 than in Groups MN1 and N,and was higher in Group MN1 than in Group N.The incidence of pruritus was higher in Groups M and MN2 than in Group N.There was no significant difference in Ramsay sedation scores and postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) between the groups.Conclusions Epidural morphine combined with lumbosacral plexus nerve block can provide better analgesic effects than a single dose of epidural morphine or lumbosacral plexus nerve block in elderly patients undergoing hip joint replacement.Although the synergy of the combination has certain influence on early muscle strength recovery,it does not affect early postoperative rehabilitation training.With the combined use of parecoxib and lumbosacral plexus nerve block,epidural injection of 1 mg and 2 mg morphine provides similar analgesic effects,but epidural injection of 2 mg morphine results in a higher incidence of urinary retention.Thus,a small dose of epidural morphine combined with lumbosacral plexus nerve block is recommended for postoperative analgesia in elderly patients receiving hip joint replacement.
