Objective To research the efficacy and safety of sequential rivaroxaban use in reducing blood loss after applying tranexamic acid(TXA)in total hip arthroplasty(THA).Methods According to the design by the random control principle,150 pa tients undergoing unilateral primary THA from September 2012 to June 2015 were selected and randomly divided into the group A,B,C,D and E (n=30).The group A did not use TXA,the group B received intravenous drip of 10 mg/kg TXA at 10 min before skin incision,the group Creceived intravenous drip of 15 mg/kg TXA at 10 min before skin incision,the group D respectively received intravenous drip of 15mL/kg TXA at 10 min before skin incision and after 3 h,the group E received intravenous drip of 15 mL/kg TXA at 10 min before skin incision and articular cavity use of 1 g TXA before closing the incision.Oral 10 mg rivaroxaban was given at postoperative 6-12 h when the drainage volume was less than 30 mL/h and then the conventional dose was used until postoperative 35 d.The intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,hidden blood loss,blood transfusion rate,postoperative anticoagulation time,time of removing drainage tube,postoperative prothrombin time on postoperative 1 d,activated partial thromboplastin time,descend value of hemoglobin,and occurrence rates of postoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) were observed in the group A,B,C,D and E.Results The intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,hidden blood loss,blood transfusion rate and descend value of hemoglobin on postoperative 1 d had statistical differences among 5 groups(P＜0.05).The are significant differences between the group D and A in the intraoperative blood loss,postoperative drainage volume,hidden blood loss,blood transfusion rate,descend value of hemoglobin on postoperative 1 d,postoperative anticoagulation time and removal drainage tube time(P＜0.05).All cases had no symptomatic DVT and PE during the perioperative period and postoperative 3-month outpatient or telephone follow-up.Conclusion Sequential rivaroxaban use after applying TXA during THA perioperative period is safe and effective.Moreover intravenous drip of 15 mL/kg TXA at 10 min before skin incision and after 3 h has most significant effect in reducing bleeding volume during THA perioperative period.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of gastric dynamics by transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) combined general anesthesia when controlled hypotension dropped to 60% of the mean arterial prenssure (MAP) baseline, and to provide experimental evidence for organ protection in clinical controlled hypotension.

METHODSEighteen male beagles were randomly divided into three groups, the general anesthesia group (blank), the general anesthesia induced controlled hypotension group (control), and the general anesthesia combined TEAS induced controlled hypotension group (experiment), 6 in each group. Controlled hypotension was performed in the latter two groups with isoflurane inhalation and intravenous injection of sodium nitroprusside (SNP). The mean arterial pressure (MAP) was lowered to 60% of the MAP baseline and kept for 60 min. Controlled hypotension was not performed in Beagles of the control group. For Beagles in the experiment group, TEAS [2/100 Hz, (4 ± 1) mA] was applied to bilateral Hegu (LI4), Quchi (LI11), Zusanli (ST36), and Sanyinjiao (SP6) from stable physiological conditions to the end of maintaining stages. Changes of EGG frequencies and EGG amplitudes were monitored. Serum levels of gastrin (GAS) and motilin (MTL) were also detected at corresponding time points during and after experiment.

RESULTSAs for the pressure control effect of TEAS combined general anesthesia in the controlled hypotension, during the process of controlled hypotension (T1-T4), MAP levels of two controlled pressure groups remained relatively stable, and were kept at 60% of the MAP baseline. When the blood pressure dropped to the target low MAP and maintained at 60 min (T1-T4), EGG amplitudes of Beagles in all the three groups showed decreasing tendency. But it was more obviously lower than its basic level in the control group (P <0.05), while it was not obviously decreased in the experiment group (P < 0.05). EGG frequencies of Beagles in all the three groups showed no obvious change during this stage. By the end of the MAP rising stage (T8), the EGG amplitude of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group and the blank group (P < 0.05), while it didn' t show any obvious increase in the control group. During this period, EGG frequencies of the two controlled hypotension groups decreased more than those of the blank group. Two h after rising blood pressure (at T9), EGG amplitudes and frequencies in the two controlled hypotension groups basically restored to their respective baselines and levels of the blank group at T9. At 2 h (T9) after controlled hypotension, serum levels of GAS and MTL were lower than those of basic levels in the two controlled hypotension groups (P <0.05). However, serum levels of GAS and MTL had an increasing trend in the two controlled hypotension groups at 24-72 h (T10-T12). Besides, the increasing speed and amplitude was better in experiment group than in the control group at T10-T12. However, there was no statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05). At 72 h (T12) serum levels of GAS and MTL had basically restored to their basic levels in the two controlled hypotension groups and that of the blank control group.

CONCLUSIONEGG amplitudes could be effectively improved in TEAS combined general anesthesia for controlled hypotension at 60% of the MAP baseline, the recovery of the serum GAS level accelerated, gastric power improved and stomach protected.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the clinical manifestation, individualized surgical treatment, and prognosis of intraductal papillary mucinous neoplasms (IPMN) of pancreas.

METHODSThe clinical data of 56 IPMN cases treated between January 2007 and December 2011 was retrospectively analyzed. Among the 56 patients (38 male and 18 female, mean age (61 ± 7) years), 26 were main-duct type, 18 were branch-duct type, 12 were mixed type. Pancreatectomy was performed on 48 cases, including pancreaticoduodenectomy on 29 patients, distal pancreatectomy on 17 patients, and total pancreatectomy on 2 patients.

RESULTSThe overall postoperative morbidity rate was 27.1% (13/48), there was no perioperative mortality. Pathology showed 31 cases of noninvasive IPMN, 17 cases of invasive IPMN, and 7 cases of lymph node metastasis. The rate of invasive tumors was 46.2% (12/26) in main duct type, 3/12 in mixed type, and 2/18 in branch duct type IPMN, the difference was statistically significant (χ(2) = 6.385, P = 0.041). The five-year survival rate for patients with noninvasive and invasive neoplasms was 100% and 24.6%, respectively. The prognosis of invasive cases with lymph node metastasis was significantly worse than those without lymph node metastasis (P = 0.017). A regular follow-up without surgical treatment was performed on 8 cases with asymptomatic side branch IPMN less than 3 cm in diameter, and no progression was found during the follow-up.

CONCLUSIONSIPMN has a relative good prognosis. Main duct type and mixed type IPMN have a higher malignant potential, and should receive a surgical treatment. Patients of branch duct type IPMN with a <3 cm diameter lesion and no clinical manifestations can be managed with close follow-up only.

To explore the growth and development and analyze the quality of the parthenocarpy fruit induced by exogenous hormones of Siraitia grosvenorii. the horizontal and vertical diameter, volume of the fruit were respectively measured by morphological and the content of endogenous hormones were determined by ELISA. The size and seed and content of mogrosides of mature fruit were determined. The results showed that the fruit of parthenocarpy was seedless and its growth and development is similar to the diploid fruit by hand pollination and triploid fruit by hand pollination or hormones. But the absolute value of horizontal and vertical diameter, volume of parthenocarpy fruit was less than those of fruit by hand pollination, while triploid was opposite. The content of IAA, ABA and ratio of ABA/GA was obviously wavy. At 0-30 d the content of IAA and ABA of parthenocarpy fruit first reduced then increased, content of IAA and GA parthenocarpy fruit was higher than that of fruit by hand pollination. Mogrosides of parthenocarpy fruit was close to pollination fruit. Hormones can induce S. grosvenorii parthenocarpy to get seedless fruit and the fruit shape and size and quality is close to normal diploid fruit by hand pollination and better than triploid fruit by hormone or hand pollination.

This study was designed to explore the RNA interference technique in inhibition of the expression of the mouse fibrinogen like protein 2 (mfgl2), which has been reported to be involved in the development a variety of diseases including fulminant viral hepatitis. A plasmid named p-mfgl2shRNA,complementary to the sequence of mfgl2 was constructed, while another short hairpin RNA (shRNA)which was a mutated form of the mfgl2shRNA sequences was used as a control. A plasmid named pEGFP-mfgl2 expressing the mfgl2-EGFP fusion protein was also constructed for the screening of the effect of p-mfgl2shRNA on mfgl2 expression. By cotransfection of p-mfgl2shRNA and pEGFP-mfgl2 or pcDNA3.1-mfgl2 expression construct into CHO cells or HeLa cells, the inhibition of mfgl2 expression by mfgl2shRNA was analyzed by direct observation through fluorescent microscopy, FACS, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry staining. The experiments showed the significant inhibitory effect of p-mfgl2shRNA on mfgl2 expression at 48h post-transfection in both CHO and Hela cell lines with the inhibitory efficiency as high as 80.1%. The study demonstrated that the construct of p-mfgl2shRNA successfully interfered with the mfgl2 expression in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the causes and clinical features of gastrointestinal hemorrhage following pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD), and to provide the management strategies for this complication.

METHODSThe clinic data of 412 patients who underwent PD from January 2000 to April 2010 was retrospectively reviewed. There were 232 male and 180 female patients, average age was (60 ± 12) years. The mode of procedure was standard PD and the Child's reconstruction of digestive tract, whose anastomosic steps encluded gastroenterostomy following chlangioenterostomy and pancreaticoenterostomy, was employed. Etiology of gastrointestinal haemorrhage, diagnostic methods and treatment strategy was recorded and analyzed.

RESULTSThe postoperative mobidity was 37.1% (153/412), the rate of haemorrhagic complications was 6.6% (27/412), and gastrointestinal hemorrhage was recorded in 11 patients (2.7%). The bleeding rate of pancreaticointestinal anastomosis and gastricointestinal anastomosis were 5/11 and 4/11, respectively. Among these 11 patients, early hemorrhage occurred in 6 patients, 7 patients were due to technical failure. In order to control this kind of complication, open abdominal operation alone was performed on 4 patients, endoscopic management was performed on 3 patients and succeeded in 2 patients, vascular interventional therapy was performed on 5 patients and succeeded in 2 patients, and Re-laparotomy following vascular interventional therapy was performed on 2 patients successfully.

CONCLUSIONSGastrointestinal hemorrhage following PD always occurred in early stage and reliable hemostasis during operation is the key points for prevention. Angiography is minimally invasive and holds the diagnostic value. Timely and decisive reoperation is an important method to management of postoperative gastrointestinal hemorrhage.

OBJECTIVEMutation in the heavy chain micro (microHC) gene causes a rare type of autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia. Here we report the molecular and clinical characterization of a compound heterozygous mutation in the microHC gene in a patient with autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia firstly from China.

METHODA one-year and ten-month-old male patient and his parents were enrolled in this study. No mutation was found in BTK gene. The microHC gene of the patient and his parents were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) from genomic DNA. Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to amplify the microHC transcripts. Sequencing was performed directly on the PCR products bidirectionally.

RESULTSSince 8 months of age, the patient had had recurrent fever and persistent cough. He suffered an acute right hemiplegia at 11 months of age and swelling and pain of left hip joint and right knee joint at one year and eight months of age. Cerebrospinal fluid routine examination showed that total cell count was 18 x 10(6)/L [normal range (0 - 15) x 10(6)/L], leukocyte count 7 x 10(6)/L [(0 - 15) x 10(6)/L] and biochemical examination showed protein 0.14 g/L (0.15 - 0.45 g/L), glucose 4.68 mmol/L (2.44 - 4.44 mmol/L) and chloride 116.3 mmol/L (120 - 132 mmol/L). Mycobacterium bovis was identified negative by cerebrospinal fluid smear examination. No obvious abnormity was detected on skull CT examination. Hydrothorax examination showed that total cell count was 848 x 10(6)/L, leukocyte count 785 x 10(6)/L and protein 30.8 g/L (< 30 g/L). Poliovirus isolation from stool sample of the patient was negative. The serum immunoglobulin (Ig) profile was IgG 181 mg/L (normal range, 5.09 - 10.09 g/L); IgM 28.8 mg/dl (400 - 1260 mg/dl) and IgA 22 mg/dl (310 - 670 mg/dl), IgE 4.6 U/ml (normal range < 150 U/ml). There were no B-cells but normal percentage of T-cells (67%) and NK cells (32%) were present in the peripheral blood. The patient had a compound heterozygous mutation in the microHC gene:on one allele, there was an alternative splice site mutation in exon 4 (1956 G > A), for which the patient's father was a carrier. Whereas on the other allele, an insert mutation between 170 and 175 in exon 1 with a premature stop codon (170 - 175 insert C, L11fs60X) was identified, for which the patient's mother was a carrier. The insert mutation in exon 1 of microHC gene was firstly reported. To detect the effect of the splice site mutation in exon 4, microHC cDNA of the patient was amplified by semi-nested PCR. The PCR products were purified and sequenced directly. A 136 bp of intron 4 was found in the transcripts and only the secreted isoform with a missense substitution is present in the patient, while synthesis of the membrane isoform is completely abolished.

CONCLUSIONThis is the first case with autosomal recessive agammaglobulinemia with compound heterozygous mutation in the microHC gene reported from China. A novel mutation in exon 1 was found.
