Objective To observe the expression of neuron apoptotic protein caused by whole body gyperthermis (WBH) in rats anesthetized using propofol and chloral hydrate,and to explore the pathway of any hippocampal neuron apoptosis induced by WBH. Methods Sixty-three male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3groups,21 in each group.One guoup received neither anesthesia nor WBH treatment sa a control (group A);group B were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of 100 mg/kg of propofol;group C receivde a similar injection of chloral hydrate. This was followed by WBH (keeping the rats' core temperature at 42°for 30 min) for all three groups. The rats'brains were then removed 24 h after WBH to separate the ghpplcampal CA1,CA2 zones and the dentate gyrus regions.Any neuron apoptosis was detected using the TUNEL methol;Bax/Bcl-2/caspase-3 protein expression was measured with a SABC immmunogistochemical technique;and the changes in ultrastructure were observed tith an electron microscope. Results Compared with group A,the changes in the ultrastructure of neurons in the hippocampus changed after WBh were the most severe in group C.The changes included edema of the organelles,vacuolization of mitochondria,rarefaction of the endocytoplasmic reticulum,incopleasmic reticulum,incomplete synaptic membranes and autophagy.Both the number of apoptotic neurons and the expression of Bax and capase-3 protein in the hippocampus increased in the following order: group A<group B<group C.Expression of Bcl-2 protein in the hippocampus increased in the following order: group A<group C<group B. Conclusion Hippocampal apoptosis induced by WBh involves upregulating the expression of Bax and caspase-3 and downregulating the expression of Bcl-2.

Objective:To compare dexamethasone and granisetron for the prevention of PONV(Postoperative nausea and vomiting) after LC(Laparoscopic cholecystemy).Methods:A total of 80 patients were randomly divided into four groups(n= 20 each).A:dexamethasone 8 mg group;B:granisetron 3 mg,C:combined application group,D were the control group.All patients were given the similiar standardized anesthesia and operative treatment.PONV were assessed during the first 24 h after operations.Results:Group A,B and C got higher scores of PONV than the control group(P

Objective To evaluate the quality of domestic hepatitis C diagnostic reagents objectively,and to build up the quality control systems for assessment of hepatitis Cdiagnostic reagents.Methods4080 serum samples from blood donors were collected and detected with EIA kits.146anti-HCV positive and negative samples were selected and tested repeatedly by two different imported ( Murex and Ortho) and domestic anti-HCV EIA kits(InTec,ZHONGSHAN BIO-TECH,WANTAI and KHB),then confirmed by CHIRON RIBA HCV 3.0 and PCR qualitative reagents.The samples were tested by nucleic acid quantitative assay and the RNA positive samples were detected by genotyping reagents.ResultsThe quality control systems of diagnostic reagents of anti-HCV and HCV RNA were constructed.Each quality control system was consisted of 50 samples,including 20 anti-HCV/HCV RNA positive,20 anti-HCV/HCV RNA negative and 10 diluted specimens for sensitivity evaluation.The positive samples with dominant HCV genotypes in China contained strong,moderate and weak positive samples.The negative samples involved those S/CO value ( signal-to-cutoff ratios ) close to threshold.Conclusion The quality control systems established in this study are suitable for assessment of the new and improved domestic hepatitis C diagnostic reagents.
