Aim To investigate the effect of BMS- 345541 on the repair of DNA DSBs induced by VP-16 in AML cells and its possible mechanism. Methods The effects of BMS-345541 on the sensitivity of AML cells to VP-16 were determined by MTT. Flow cytome-try ( FCM) was applied to test the level of DNA dam-age, cell cycle progression and apoptosis in AML cells. High content analysis ( HCA) was used to verify the amount ofγ-H2AX,p-ATM,RAD51 in AML cells. Results BMS-345541 could significantly inhibit the proliferation of AML cells induced by VP-16 . BMS- ＜br> 345541 increased the amount of RAD51 foci and p-ATM foci in AML cells treated with VP-16 after 6 hours , which led to increased numbers of cells in the G2/M phases of the cell cycle,then induced apoptotic cell death. Conclusion BMS-345541 sensitizes AML cells to VP-16 via selective inhibition of homologous recombinational repair of DNA double-strand breaks.

Objective To explore the efficacy of noninvasive continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP) on infants with degree Ⅲ laryngeal obstruction.Methods Sixty-two infants of acute laryngitis with degree Ⅲ laryngeal obstruction were divided into observation group (n =32) and control group (n =30),which were admitted to our PICU from Jan 2007 to Dec 2012.Thirty-two cases in the observation group were treated using the nCPAP.Thirty infants in the control group received regular mouth-nose mask oxygen therapy.The infants in both groups were given small-dose intravenous injection of methylprednisolone and inhalation of oxygen-driven nebulized epinephrine.Results In a hour after treatments,the effective rate in observation group was 100％,and the average duration for the treatments to take effect was (43.65 ±10.34) min.In control group,symptoms of 13 infants were improved within one hour (the effective rate was 43.3 ％),and symptoms of 22 infants were improved within two hours (the effective rate was 73.3 ％).The average duration for the treatments to take effect in control group was (73.70 ± 15.86) min.The differences of effective rates and take-effect duration between the two groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).After two hours' treatments,hypoxic symptoms of all infants in the observation group were obviously improved.The average heart rate[(172.24 ± 7.80) times per minute],the average oxygen saturation (90.16％ ±2.58％),the average arterial partial pressure of oxygen [(65.33 ±6.27) mm Hg],and the average partial pressure of carbon dioxide [(48.60 ± 4.39) mm Hg] were improved significantly compared with those before treatment [(146.39 ± 10.61) times per minute,98.53 ％ ± 0.42 ％,(93.64 ± 5.68) mm Hg,(44.25 ±5.76) mm Hg)].The differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion The nCPAP auxiliary treatment is effective for infants with degree Ⅲ laryngeal obstruction,more effective than the regular oxygen therapy.

Objective To investigate the outcome and related risk factors of integrated intensive intervention in participants with impaired glucose regulation (IGR) after two years by the criteria of American Diabetes Association 2003. Methods The subjects who remained to be IGR at the end of first year following 75 g oral glucose tolerance test were randomly assigned to either a routine care control group or to an intensive integrated intervention group. The control group received general dietary and exercise advice at baseline and was followed up. In addition to dietary control and exercise advice, mefformin or acarbose were administrated in the intervention group. The latter group was also advised to take antihypertensive agents, lipid-regulating agents if necessary, as well as aspirin. Results The proportion of patients who fulfilled the assigned goals of blood glucose, blood pressure, body mass index or triglycerides was significantly higher in the intensive group than those in the control group. None in the intensive group developed overt diabetes mellitus, while 8 (9.3%) in the control group did. The proportion of patients who reverted to normal glucose tolerance (NGT) was slightly higher in the intensive group than in the control group (29.5% vs 22.1%, P>0.05). Logistic analysis showed that increase of waist circumference and systolic blood pressure was positively while the improvement of islet β-cell function was negatively correlated with the development of diabetes mellitus. Conclusions The intensive integrated intervention could significantly decrease the conversion rate of IGR to diabetes mellitus, and increase the chance of reversion to NGT. The increase of waist circumference or systolic blood pressure, the deterioration of islet β-ccll function were the influencing factors of the conversion of IGR to diabetes mellitus.

Objective To investigate the effect of different doses of rocuronium on the monitoring of recurrent laryngeal nerve during endoscopic thyroidectomy.Methods A total of 116 patients undergoing endoscopic thyroidectomy through areolar approach were selected from October 2021 to October 2022,30 males and 86 females,aged 18-64 years,BMI 18.5-30.0 kg/m2,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ.All the patients were divided into three groups by random number table method:rocuronium 0.30 mg/kg group(group R1,n=39),rocuronium 0.45 mg/kg group(group R2,n=39),and rocuronium 0.60 mg/kg group(group R3,n=38).After induction of anesthesia,groups R1,R2,and R3 were injected intrave-nously with rocuronium 0.30,0.45,and 0.60 mg/kg,respectively.When the TOF value was 0,the nerve monitoring tracheal catheter was inserted,and the muscle relaxation was monitored throughout the operation.No muscle relaxants were added before the end of the nerve monitoring.The time and amplitude of recurrent laryngeal nerve electromyography(EMG)from intravenous rocuronium to the first occurrence were recorded.The time of intubation and quality of tracheal intubation(Cooper's score),intraoperative special conditions(hypotension,hypertension,bradycardia,tachycardia,intraoperative movement,etc.),postoperative throat pain,hoarseness,and muscle pain were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the time of first occurrence of recurrent laryngeal nerve EMG among the three groups.Compared with group R1,the recurrent laryngeal nerve EMG amplitude in groups R2 and R3 was significantly decreased for the first occurrence(P＜0.05).Compared with group R1,the time of intubation in groups R2 and R3 was signifi-cantly shortened(P＜0.05).Compared with group R2,the time of intubation in group R3 was significantly shortened(P＜0.05).Compared with group R1,the quality of tracheal intubation in groups R2 and R3 was significantly higher(P＜0.05).Compared with group R1,the incidence of intraoperative and postop-erative laryngeal pain in groups R2 and R3 was significantly lower(P＜0.05).Conclusion During endo-scopic thyroidectomy,compared with rocuronium 0.30 mg/kg,rocuronium 0.45 and 0.60 mg/kg can not only provide good conditions for tracheal intubation,but also monitor recurrent laryngeal nerve signals,and rocuronium 0.60 mg/kg can be intubated for a shorter time.
