Objective To evaluate the methods of postoperative respiratory management and complications prevention of patients with myasthenia gravis who received thymectomy. Methods According to the accumulated scores of myasthenic crisis prediction, the patients with myasthenia gravis who underwent thymectomy in the past 5 years were divided into 2 groups: high risk group(12, n=11). The time of mechanical ventilation, restoration of muscle strength and spontaneously breathing during extubation, results of arterial blood gas analysis, body temperature, chest X-ray examination and sputum culture of each patient were analyzed. Results The time of mechanical ventilation in high risk group (18~30 h, 26 h in average) was longer than that in control group(4~28 h, 14 h in average)(P

Objective To evaluate the training quality of anaesthesiology residents in different hospitals. Methods The scores of 125 residents,attending Shanghai resident clinic skill examination from 2005 to 2007,were analyzed. ResultsThe scores of examinees from municipal hospitals were higher than those from district hospitals,municipal specialized hospitals and traditional Chinese medicine hospitals.The scores of practice part were higher than those of theory part in all groups. Conclusion The training quality is related to the comprehensive strength of the hospital in which examinees work,but the training of theory knowledge still need to be strengthened.

Objective To explore the mechanism of notch signaling pathway in the treatment of cervical cancer with notch receptor blocker(DAPT).Methods After treatment of Me180 cells with different concentrations of DAPT combined with curcumin-photodynamic therapy (PDT),3-(4,5 Dimethylthiazlo-yl)-2,5 Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5 dipheny tetrazo lium bromide(MTT)assay was used to detect the effect on the proliferation of Me180 cells,annexin V-FITC/PI combined with flow cytometry was used to detect the effect on apoptosis,and real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and Western blot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expressions of Notch1 gene respectively.Results Both DAPT(1.0 μmol/L)and curcumin-PDT groups could inhibit the proliferation and induce apoptosis of cervical cancer cell line Me180,and the synergistic effect of the two groups was significant (P＜0.05 or＜0.01).DAPT and curcumin-PDT group reduced the mRNA expression level of Notch1 in cervical cancer Me180 cells with inhibition ratio of 40.0％ and 32.3％ respectively.DAPT and curcumin-PDT group inhibited the protein expressions of Notch1,nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-kB),vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF),and the synergistic effect of the two groups was statistically significant.Conclusions Both DAPT and curcumin-PDT may effectively block the conduction of Notch signaling pathway,which is associated with down-regulation of the expression of Notch1 and NF-kappa B.Notch signaling pathway may be one of the targets of curcumin photodynamic therapy.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of transcutaneous acupoint electrical stimulation (TAES) combined dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic of intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing intervention, and their protection for brain Injury.

METHODSTotally 108 intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing intervention were randomly assigned to the electroacupuncture (EA) group and the control group according to random digit table, 54 in each group. All patients were anesthetized with dexmedetomidine. Patients in the EA group were needled at bilateral Neiguan (PC6), Lieque (LU7), and Yunmen (LU2). Parameter setting was as follows: The dilatational wave at 1. 5 Hz, strength 2 - 4 mA, 30 min. Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were compared between the two groups immediately after entry into the room (T0), after administration (T1), intubating (T2), resuscitation (T3), extubation (T4), and leaving the operating room (T5). Levels of S100β protein (S100β) and neuron specific enolase (NSE) were compared between the two groups at T0, immediately after surgery (T6), 6 h after operation (T7), 12 h after operation (T8), and 24 h after operation (T9).

RESULTSCompared with the same group at T0, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR were significantly reduced in the two groups at T1-T5(P <0. 05), serum levels of S100β and NSE in the two groups were significantly increased at T6-T9 (P<0. 05). Compared with the control group at T1 - T5, SBP, DBP, MAP, and HR decreased in the EA group (P <0. 05). Compared with the control group at T6-T9, serum levels of S100β and NSE decreased in the EA group (P <0. 05).

CONCLUSIONTAES combined dexmedetomidine could effectively maintain stable hemodynamics of intracranial aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage patients undergoing intervention, and regulate their serum levels of S100β and NSE.

ObjectiveTo analyzing the psychological status of hospitalized patients of internal medicine and its impact factors.Methods Hospitalized patients of internal medicine underwent a survey by using Chinese Health Questionnaire (CHQ-12),Social Support Scale and Disease-Cognition Scale.Those with a score of ＞4 received further investigation of Symptom Check-List 90 (SCL-90).Correlation analysis was performed between all factors of SCL-90 and social support or disease-cognition scale score.Results There was no significant difference of psychological status between males and females ( P ＞0.05 ).All SCL90 factors were negatively correlated with social support,of which obsessive,paranoid,and phobic presented stronger negative correlations with social support and objective support (P ＜ 0.05 ).Furthermore,all factors were negatively correlated with disease-cognition scale score.A significantly negative correlation between phobic factor and disease-cognition scale score was identified ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Improvement was found in 26.2％ patients after intervention.Conclusion Patients tend to show unhealthy emotion when they are under the stress of hospitalization.Hospitalization support system may need to be improved and patients' cognition of disease should be increased.

Objective To investigate the correlation between G753A and C1040T polymorphisms in the gene encoding region of thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI )and cerebral infarction in patients with cerebral infarction in Chinese Han population. Methods C1040T and G753A poly-morphisms in the TAFI gene encoding region in 130 patients with cerebral infarction and 118 healthy subjects (control group)were analyzed retrospectively and they were detected by using polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP ). Results The GG genotyping of the TAFI gene G753A polymorphism in the cerebral group was 41. 5%(n=54)and the A allele carriers were 58. 5%(n=76),while those in the control group were 44. 9%(n=53)and 55. 1%(n=65)respectively. There were no significant differences in the GG genotyping of TAFI gene G753A polymorphism and the A allele carriers between the cerebral infarction group and the control group (χ2 =0. 288,P=0. 592). In the cerebral infarction group,the CC genotyping of C1040T polymorphism was 50. 0%(n=65)and T allele carriers were 50. 0%(n=65),while those in the control group were 51. 7%(n=61)and 48. 3%(n=57)respectively. There were no significant differences in the GG genotyping of C1040T polymorphism and the T allele carriers between the two groups (χ2 =0.071,P =0.790 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that G753A and C1040T single nucleotide polymorphisms (GA or AA genotype)in the TAFI gene encoding region were not the independent risk factors for cerebral infarction. Conclusion There are no significant differences in the correlation between the G753A and C1040T polymorphisms in the TAFI gene encoding region and cerebral infarction. They are not the independent risk factors for the onset of cerebral infarction.
