Objective To investigate the effects of children's mentality on mental symptoms during recovery period of ketamine anesthesia. Methods According to the mentality, forty-five children undergoing smalminor surgery were assigned into active group, stable group and fretful group with 15 cases each. Child was anaesthetized by ketamine alone. RP, BP, HR and SpO_2 were recorded at the end of operation, 5,10 and 30 min after operation. Meanwhile the expression, feeling, behavior, talking and activity were observed. Results RR, BP, HR in active group and fretful group were significantly higher than those in stable group. There was a significant difference in the expression, feeling, behavior, talking and activity among three groups. Conclusion Children's mentality has a significant effect on mental symptoms and hemodynamics during recovery period of ketamine anesthesia.

Vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) have presented a new kind of anti-cancer drug in recent years. VDAs take advantage of the weakness of established tumor endothelial cells and their supporting structures. In contrast to anti-angiogenic therapy, which inhibits the outgrowth of new blood vessels, vascular targeting treatments selectively attack the existing tumor vasculature. Here we summarized the anti-tumor activities, mechanisms and clinical applications of small molecule VDAs.

Objective:To investigate the in vivo absorption kinetics of caffeine at different intestine segments in rats.Methods: The rat intestine was cannulated for in situ recirculation.The absorption kinetics of caffeine,including the absorption segments of intestine,drug concentration and pH value,were investigated in all the rats under light anesthesia.Ultraviolet light spectrometry and high-performance liquid chromatography were used to determine the concentrations of phenol red and caffeine,respectively.Results: The absorption rate constants(Ka) of caffeine in the small intestine at the concentrations of 2.5,5,10 and 25 mg?L-1 were 0.252,0.247,0.304 and 0.232 h-1,respectively.The Ka values at pH of 7.8,6.8,and 5.4 were 0.267,0.274 and 0.247 h-1,respectively.The Ka values in the duodenum,jejunum,ileum,and colon were 0.112,0.099,0.095 and 0.069 5 h-1,respectively.Conclusion: Concentration and pH value have no obvious effect on the absorption kinetics of caffeine.Caffeine can be better absorbed in the duodenum,jejunum and ileum than in the colon.The absorption of caffeine in the intestine is a first-order process through passive diffusion mechanism.

OBJECTIVE To acquire the information about the gene type and epidemic condition of the hospital to provide scientific proof for monitoring and controlling nosocomial infection.METHODS Meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) was identified by its resistance to cefoxitin of disk diffusion and mecA PCR,randomly amplified polymorphic DNA(RAPD) was carried out with the optimization condition.RESULTS The rate of MRSA infection was 72.15% and the main gene type was A in the hospital.CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection may exist in the hospital and the hospital must take effective measure to decline nosocomial infection of the MRSA;RAPD is suitable for molecular epidemiology with high powerful discrimination,simplicity and rapidness.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the drug resistance and the prevalence of inducible clindamycin resistance in clinical isolates of Staphylococcus aureus and evaluate the clinical value of cefoxitin disk diffusion method and oxacillin disk diffusion for detection of meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA).METHODS Bacteria identification and susceptibility test were performed by VITEK-2 system and K-B disk method.The PBP2a was detected by latex agglutination and MRSA was identified by cefoxitin disk diffusion method and oxacillin disk diffusion.The inducible resistance of erythromycin to clindamycin was checked by D-test according to the standards of CLSI(NCCLS).The statistical analysis was performed by WHONET 5.4 and SPSS 13.0 software.RESULTS Resistant rate to penicillin and ampicillin was 98.9% and 100.0%,respectively.Vancomycin-resistant(VRE) or intermediate strains were not found.Of the 93 S.aureus isolates,MRSA and meticillin-sensitive S.aureus(MSSA) were 58(62.4%) and 35(37.6%),respectively.The resistant rate of MRSA to 11 antibiotics was higher than MSSA.The sensitivity and specificity of cefoxitin disk diffusion method were 98.3% and 97.1%,respectively,those of oxacillin disk diffusion were 75.9% and 94.3%.Of the 9 isolates resitant to erythromycin but susceptible to clindamycin,5(55.6%) showed inducible resistance to clindamycin.CONCLUSIONS Resistance of S.aureus is quite serious.Cefoxitin disc diffusion method is a simple and reliable method for the detection of MRSA.The inducible resistance of erythromycin to clindamycin in S aureus should be checked by D-test in clinical microbiology laboratory routinely.

Objective To study on the relationship between plasminogen and brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF),and explain the molecular mechanism of depression ,then provide new clew for diagnosis and treatment of depression .Methods The chronic unpredictable mild depression rat mode was established ,then depression symptoms including absence of delight ,the decline of actions and activities ,and weight reduction of rat were tested .The levels of individual plasminogen and BDNF in hippocampus were determined by Western blot .Results The expression of BDNF and plasminogen in depression rat mode and control group was significantly different(P<0 .01) ,and there was a positive correlation between BDNF and plasminogen(r=0 .65 ,P<0 .01) .Accord-ing to the linear-regression analysis ,there was a dependence relationship between them(r2 =0 .423) .The equation of regression was YBDNF=0 .750XPlasminogen +0 .201 .Conclusion Stress could affect the growth and survival of nerve cell ,which lead to the depression behavior of rats ,meanwhile ,the decline of plasminogen and BDNF levels ,the positive correlation between them illustrate that plas-minogen and BDNF take part in the mechanism of depression .
