Objective　To evaluate adbomen surgery in patients who are found to have poorly controlled or untreated hypertension before operation.Methods　From January 1997 to December 1998,the perioperative clinical data of 531 patients with hypertension and undergoing abdomen surgery in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed.Results　The incidences of perioperative hypertensive events were not significantly different,between controlled and uncontrolled patients with grade one and grade two (P>0.05).In grade three and systolic hypertension,certain perioperative complications in patients with poorly controlled hypertension were higher than in those with well-controlled hypertension(P<0.05).Conclusion　The patients with grade on e and grade two hypertension are not at increased operative risk.In Patients with grade three and systolic hypertension,perioperative complications are increased and elective surgery should be postponed until their blood pressure is brought under 180/110 mmHg over 1 to 2 weeks.

Objective To investigate the effect of subretinal fluid (SRF) with different grades of proliferative vitreoretinopathy (PVR) on bcl-2 oncoprotein expression in retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells and fibroblast (FB). Methods Using immunohistological staining technique and Western-blotting method to detect the expression of bcl-2 protein in RPE cells and FB under the stimulation of SRF. Results The expression levels of bcl-2 increased in both types of cells to a certain extent compared with those of the control group 4 hours after the cells subjected to SRF; 36 hours later, the expression levels of bcl-2 of experimental groups decreased more quickly than those of the control group,and the control group showed relatively higher bcl-2 protein levels at the end of observation. Conclusions SRF may stimulate the expression of bcl-2 in RPE cells and FB under culture at early stage, but accelarate the declining of bcl-2 protein levels a certain time after subjected to SRF.

The time-to-event index is a kind of common evaluation index. It measures the speed of intervention effect. It is different from other index in research design, source material filling, data checking and statistical analysis. To obtain the time-to-event index, investigators can fill in the table directly and statistical analyst can compute after clinical observation. When filling in the source material or data checking, it is should be noticed that the logical relation between the time-to-event index and the visiting point and between the time-to-event index and the correlative other indicator. When statistical analyzing, it is an important issue how to deal with the cases whose time-to-event index does not appear till the observation period ends. Understanding the difference clearly can make the time-to-event index evaluate the effect of the intervention truly and make the clinical observation results reliable.

ObjectiveTo detect the effect of subretinal fluid （SRF） from different grades of proliferative vitreoretinopathy（PVR） on cultured retinal pigmental epithelial cells（RPE） and fibloblasts（FB）．MethodsThe effect of SRF from different grades of PVR on RPE and FB was determined using Brdu labeling technique and MTT assaying method，respectively．Results All samples showed a stimulating effect on the two kinds of cellular elements in a certain degree．At 1∶10 concentration，the cellular proliferation stimulating activity of SRF with PVR＜C1，PVR C1 and PVR＞C1 on RPE and FB was 128.5%，139.8%，156.8%and 126.3%，143.1%，172.3%of the control groups, respectively after 24 h stimulation.ConclusionsSRF’s proliferation-stimulating activity is correlated with the grades of PVR．

Objective Ketamine has been shown to suppress pro-inflammatory cytokines like TNF-? and IL-6. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of ketamine on myocardial NF-?B expression and serum IL-6 level in a rat model of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) .Methods Twenty-four healthy male SD rats aged 4-8 months weighing 200-250 g were randomly divided into four groups with 6 animals in each group : (A)control group; (B) I/R group; (C) ketamine 5 mg? kg-1 +I/R(I/R+K1) and (D) ketamine 10mg?kg-1 + I/R (I/R + K2) . The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10% chloral hydrate 40 mg?kg-1. Chest was opened and heart exposed. Left coronary artery was temporarily occluded at 1 mm inferior to left auricle for 30 min followed by 120 min reperfusion. Myocardial ischemia was confirmed by decoloration of apex and elevation of S-T segment. In control group (A) heart was exposed but left coronary artery was not occluded. In group C and D ketamine 5 mg?kg-1 or 10mg?kg-1 was given i.v. during ischemia. The animals were sacrificed at the end of 120 min reperfusion. A piece of myocardium (0.1 g) was obtained from apex for determination of myocardial NF-?B expression (Western-blot) . Blood samples were taken at 30 min and 120 min of reperfusion for determination of serum IL-6 level (ELISA) .Results The serum IL-6 level at 30 min and 120 min of reperfusion and myocardial NF-?B expression were significantly increased in I/R group (B) compared with those in control group ( P

Objectives To evaluate the mechanism of mitral regurgitation after mitral valve surgery by quantitative assessment of mitral valve three-dimensional parameters using real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE). Me-thods According to the improved degree of mitral regurgitation (MR), 30 children were divided into two groups after mitral valve repair:MR improved (I) group and residual MR (II) group. And the pre-operative 3-DE parameters were compared with post-operative parameters in two groups respectively. Results In group I, three dimensional parameters, including mitral valve annular area in end-systole and end-dilate (AA1, AA2), PM papillary muscle annular distance (AL-A), AL papillary muscle annular distance (PM-A), inter-papillary distance (PM-AL), the anterior leaflet and posterior leaflet tethering angles (a1, a2, argAL-C-PM), left ventricular volume end-systole and end-dilate (LVEDV, LVESV) were significantly improved after surgery (P<0.05) while the parameters PM-A, PM-AL, argAL-C-PM, LVEDV, LVESV and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were not significantly changed after surgery in group II, except for the parameters AA1, AA2 and a2 (P>0.05). Conclusions Most of the mitral valve parameters were much better in group I after surgery. However, the malformation of papillary appa-ratus, leaflet tethering strength and left ventricular function were unchanged in group II, which may be the key mechanism of mitral regurgitation after surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the influence of capecitabine combined with radiotherapy on postoperative survival rate, relapse rate and survival quality of elderly patients with rectal cancer at Ⅱ-Ⅲ stage. METHODS:110 patients with rectal cancer atⅡ-Ⅲ stage were selected and randomly divided into control group and observation group with 55 cases in each group. Both group received radical resection of rectal carcinoma. Control group was given three dimensional conformal radiation therapy(3DCRT)af-ter operation;observation group was additionally given capecitabine 1 500 mg/m2,d1-14,qd,on the basis of control group. A treatment course lasted for 21 d,and both groups received 2 courses of treatment and followed up for 3 years. The survival rate and metastasis and recurrence rate of 2 groups were compared as well as KPS score before and after treatment. Toxic reaction of 2 groups was also observed. RESULTS:The follow-up total survival rate and disease-free survival rate of observation group were 89.09%and 76.36%,which were significantly higher than 74.55%and 54.55%of control group;the distant metastasis rate and lo-cal recurrence rate were 12.73% and 5.45%,which were significantly lower than 30.91% and 21.82%,with statistical significance (P<0.05). KPS score of 2 groups were increased significantly,between 2 groups before and after treatment ,with statistical signifi-cance(P<0.05);Comparison between groups(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of nausea and vom-iting,diarrhea and urinary tract reaction between 2 groups (P>0.05);but the incidence of bone marrow arrest in observation group was significantly higher than control group(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Capecitabine combined with 3DCRT can effectively improve postoperative distant survival rate of patients with rectal cancer at Ⅱ-Ⅲ stage,and reduce the metastasis and recurrence risk;do not lower life quality and induce serious adverse reactions.
