Objective To evaluate the effect of small dose ketamine on the efficacy of intravenous PCA (POA) with sufentanil after intra-abdominal surgery in aged patients.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ orⅡpatienm aged 65-82 yr undergoing elective intra-abdominal surgery under general anesthesia were randomized into 3 groups (n=20 each)according to the composition of PCIA solution:group I sufentanil 200 μg in 200 ml of noilnal saline (group S);group μ sufentanil 200μh+ketmine 100 mg in NS 200 ml(group K1)and group Ⅲ sufentannil 200 μg+ketmine 200 mg in NS 200 ml(group K2).A loading dose of 5 ml wag given at the end of operation.The PCIA setting was as follows:backgound infusion 1 ml/h,bolus dose 2 ml,lockout interval 5 min and 4-hour maximum dose 30 m1.If VAS score(0=no pain,10=womt pain)was≥7,pethidine 25 mg was given iv.The total amount of pethidine given within 48 h after operation and postoperative complications including nausea and vomiting and respiratory depression were recorded.Results Small dose ketamine added to the PCIA solution can significantly reduce the amount of pethidine administered after operation in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Small dose ketamine can improve the efficacy of PCIA with sufentanil after intra-abdominal surgery in aged patients with no significant adverse effect.

Objective:To observe the effect of “One Coat Bond” on the interface between amalgam restoration and cavity wall used in bonded amalgam restoration(BAR).Methods:Dentin cavities were made on 15 healthy human premolars extracted for orthodontics therapy.The teeth were divided into 3 groups with 5 in each group.In group A compressive air was used to dry the cavities(dry adhesion) whereas in group B absorbent cotton was used (wet adhesion). Then the cavity walls in the two groups were treated with the “One Coat Bond”, the cavities were filled with freshly prepared amalgam before adhesive concrete.In group C cavities were filled directly with amalgam without treatment of cavity walls. Morphology of amalgam restoration/“One Coat Bond” adhesive/dentin cavity wall interface was observed under SEM, thickness of adhesive and width of space between amalgam restoration and cavity wall was measured. Results:Average width(?m) of space between restoration and cavity wall was 4.82 in group A, 0 in group B and 11.33 in group C(P0.05).Conclusion:“One Coat Bond” adhesive can significantly improve the compactness between amalgam and cavity wall.

BACKGROUND:Nano-size inorganic filling greatly improves mechanic characteristic of composite resin.However,its effects on pulp tissue remain unclear.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of FiltekTM Z350 nano-composite resin on dog pulp tissue by means of histology observation.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Randomized control animal experiment was performed at the animal experiment center of Fuzhou General Hospital,Nanjing Military Area Command of Chinese PLA from April 2007 to April 2008.MATERIALS:Sixty healthy teeth from three adult male beagle dogs were recruited in this study.METHODS:Buccal Class V deep cavities were prepared in beagle dogs,which were then divided into four groups at random.FiltekTM Z350 resin,Dyract AP compomer and TPH resin were used to restore the cavities in three testing groups and glass ionomer cement was used as control.All cavities were treated with Clearfil SE BOND before filling.Intact healthy teeth were used as blank control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The pulp condition of each tooth was studied histologically.The remaining dentine thickness of each cavity was measured.RESULTS:After 7 days,mild inflammatory response was observed in most of the specimens.After 30 and 90 days,normal histological characteristics were observed in almost all specimens except TPH resin group.The histological structure disturbance of dentin cell layer emerged in some specimens of TPH group,which was higher than other testing groups(P 0.05).CONCLUSION:FiltekTM Z350 nano-composite resin has similar biocompatibility as Dyract AP compomer and glass ionomer cement,better than TPH resin.

Objective To collect the data of present basic constructive situation of intensive care units (ICUs) in second and tertiary grade hospitals in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and to provide a data base beneficial to the construction of ICUs in the whole region.Methods The information including basic situation of ICUs in a total of 49 second and tertiary grade hospitals as samples in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were investigated by questionnaire survey from December 2012 to April 2013. The contents of questionnaire chiefly included the basic situations of hospitals, ICU constructions, ICU human resources and allocation of equipments.Results Forty-nine questionnaires were sent out, and all of them gave answers, the recovery rate being 100%. In the whole region of Xinjiang, there were 49 second and tertiary grade hospitals with establishment of 66 various types of ICUs. ① Medical unit basic situation: the second grade A hospitals accounted for 59.2%, and the tertiary grade A hospitals, 34.7%. There was a larger proportion of local hospitals (67.3%); most of the hospitals had beds over 500 (57.14%), the designed hospital bed number was 41 403, and 35 442 beds were open up for service (85.60%). ② The ICU basic construction situation: the construction of ICUs concentrated mainly after the year 2000, from 2000 to 2010, a total of 37 units, and from 2010 to 2012, 12 units were constructed; when they opened to the public, the beds were relatively few, and the ICUs containing less than 10 beds occupied 79.00%. In the 66 ICUs surveyed, there were 43 general ICUs, accounting the largest proportion, followed by 7 emergency ICUs, and the least were 1 neurosurgery and 1 cardiac surgery ICU. In the 66 ICUs, all together 765 beds were prepared, but actually 808 beds were opening up to public; most of ICUs had 5 - 20 beds, accounting for 71% in all the ICUs. At present, in the whole Xinjiang region, the rate of beds in ICUs in various grades of hospitals opening to the outside for use accounted for more than 80% of which 56% ICUs were almost turning round fully. ③ ICU human resources situation: totally, there were 484 doctors in ICUs in the whole region, the ratio of full-time doctor to nurses was 1:3.50, the ratio for bed to physician 1:0.55 and the ratio for bed to nurse 1:0.92. The title of doctor was primarily resident, and the various title gradient levels were good. Most doctors graduated from a regular medical college, and the doctors having obtained a master degree were few. The physician professional backgrounds were mainly critical disease medicine, emergency medicine and respiratory medicine, the professional relevance being good; the chief way of ICU physicians to engage in advanced study of their professional training was in China, and generally they joined professional continuing education programs poorly, mostly joining once a year or non at all. The physicians who obtained the identification of Chinese critical care medicine specialist accounted only for 23.56%. ④ ICU equipment allocation situation: according to the requirements of ICU construction guidelines, the equipments must be allocated including bedside monitors (703 units), ventilators (516 units) and infusion pumps (702 units), occupying the highest proportion. In the optional equipments, there were enteral nutritional pump (89 stations), blood glucose monitoring device (57 units) and anti-decubitus mattresses (54 units), the proportion being the largest, bispectral index monitor (2 units), extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO, 1 table) and gastric mucosal carbon dioxide tension pHi meter (0 unit), the proportion being the least or non at all.Conclusions In the whole Xinjiang region, the construction of ICUs is still at the developing stage, and needs to further strengthen the standardized construction. The human resources, equipments, etc. are not distributed in balance, and it is necessary to move forward the adjustment to benefit the development of ICUs in the whole region.

Objective To establish a real time fluorescent quantitative revers transcripatase PCR(FQ-RT-PCR) method to detect the expression level of TNF-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear ceils (PBMC) and determine its expression level in healthy donors, HBV-caused cirrhosis patients and PBC ones. Methods Specific primers and Taqman-MGB probe were designed and β-actin was used as endogenous control. The amplified fragment was obtained by RT-PCR. The quantitative template was constructed and then the fluorescent intensity was documented on the ABI Prism7000 analyzer. The standard curve was established, according to which, the TRAIl. mRNA levels in 30 healthy individuals, 30 patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) and 25 ones with HBV-caused cirrhosis were calculated automatically by software after the values of cycle threshold (Ct) were detected continuously during amplification. Results The linear detection range of the assay for TRAIL gene was 103 - 109 copies/ ug RNA ( r=-0.997). The coefficients of variation of both intra-and inter-assay reproducibility for high concentration samples were 5.6% and 6. 3% , respectively, and those for low concentration samples were12.5% and 14. 6%. The TRAIL mRNA expression level in PBC patients was [ (3.3±2.5)×105copies/ugRNA] significantly higher than that of healthy control [ (0.5±0.2)×105 copies/ug RNA ] (t=5.994,P <0.01). TRAIl. mRNA level of HBV-caused cirrhosis patients[ (2.1±0.9)×105 copies/ug RNA] wasalso significantly elevated (t=8.536, P<0.01). However, the difference between these two diseased groups had no significance. Conclusion We have successfully set up a FQ-RT-PCR method for detecting TRAIL gene expression and found that its expression levels of peripheral blood mononuelear cells in PBC and HBV caused cirrhosis patients are elevated, which provides a new insight into mechanism study of liver injury caused by cirrhosis.

Objective To assess the feasibility and efficacy of robot-assisted laparoscopic simple prostatectomy (RALSP) for the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) with large prostate.Methods From January 2014 to July 2015,16 patients with large prostate (≥80 ml) were treated by RALSP.The average patient's age was 69 years.The prostate volume was (98.3 ± 12.9) ml,preoperative residual urine was (78.0 ± 24.8) ml,the average IPSS was (22.9 ± 5.9),the average QOL was (4.8 ±1.5) and the average Qmax was (8.9 ± 3.7) ml/s,respectively.All patients agreed to accept RASP.The pre-operative and three months post-operative IPSS,QOL,residual urine and Qmax were compared and analyzed.Results All 16 patients underwent the surgeries uneventfully.The average operation time was (92.5 ± 15.5) minutes,the estimated blood loss was (125.5 ±25.5) ml,drainage time was (4.6 ±0.8)days,catheterization time was (7.9 ± 1.2) days and postoperative hospital stay was (5.1 ± 1.1) days.Three months after surgery,patient's IPSS was (11.8 ± 3.1),QOL was (1.6 ± 0.9),the average residual urine was (12.3 ± 2.6) ml and Qmax was (29.4 ± 11.6) ml/s,respectively.All the parameters significantly improved compared with the preoperative data (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Robot-assisted laparoscopic simple prostatectomy is a safe and effective method for the treatment of BPH patients with prostate volume larger than 80 ml.

Objective To explore the value of ultra?high b?value DWI in diagnosis of prostate cancer in central gland. Methods Seventy?one consecutive patients, who were scheduled for prostate biopsy, were prospectively screened. T2WI, conventional DWI with b?value of 1 000 s/mm2 and ultra?high b?value DWI with b?value of 2 000 s/mm2 and 3 000 s/mm2 were performed in each examination. Twelve?core ultrasound guided prostate systematic biopsy was operated within 3 weeks after MRI examination. Images were interpreted based on prostate MR guidelines (PI?RADS) and were corresponding to histological results conducted by ultrasound guided prostate systematic biopsy. Using biopsy as the gold standard, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) were calculated for different imaging methods. Sensitivity and specificity differences between ultra?high b?value DWI and conventional DWI were analyzed using the McNemar test. The areas under the curves (AUCs) between ultra?high b?value DWI and other modalities were compared by using the Z test. Results Forty lesions were identified in the prostate central glands from the 33 sample patients in 71 examinees. Twenty two lesions were identified as prostate cancer in 15 patients and 18 lesions were identified as benign prostatic hyperplasia in 18 patients. MRI analysis of lesions in central gland, 27 (67.5%), 20 (50.0%), 32 (80.0%) and 35 (87.5%) were diagnosed accurately with the T2WI, conventional DWI and ultra?high b?value DWI (b=2 000, 3 000 s/mm2) respectively. The sensitivity and specificity for ultra?high b?value DWI was 90.9%and 83.3% with a b?value of 3 000 s/mm2 and was 86.4% and 72.2% for 2 000 s/mm2. These values were significantly higher than conventional DWI with a b?value of 1 000 s/mm2 (59.1%and 38.9%, P<0.05). The detection of lesions was comparable with ultra?high b?value DWI at 2 000 s/mm2 and 3 000 s/mm2 (P>0.05). The AUCs were 0.674, 0.510, 0.793 and 0.871 in T2WI, conventional DWI and ultra?high b?value DWI at 2 000 s/mm2 and 3 000 s/mm2 respectively. ROC analysis showed greater AUCs for the ultra?high b value DWI, than for the T2WI and conventional DWI (P<0.05). Conclusion The ultra?high b?value DWI is a valuable MRI modality in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in central gland.

Objective To study the influence of human leucocyte antigen(HLA) and major his-tocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain-related gene A (MICA) specific antibodies on renal allograft function and graft rejective reaction by monitoring their changes from preoperative to postoperative pe-riods. Methods Twenty-seven patients with renal aliografts were tested with the specificity of anti-HLA antibodies (anti-HLA class Ⅰ and anti-HLA class Ⅱ) and anti-MICA antibodies and their posi-tive value changes by flow PRATM beads. The HLA genotype was integrated to distinguish donor specific antibody(DSA) and non-donor specific antibody(NDSA). Their serum creatinine levels and clinical data were analyzed simultaneously. Results Of the 27 patients, 22 cases accepted renal transplantation from dead bodies and 5 eases accepted from live donors. Except 1 failed patient, the other 26 patients had good functional renal allografts. Twenty-four survival patients were followed up on month 1, 3, 6 and 12 after transplantation. Seven out of 27 patients had pre-exist antibody before transplantation. Among them, 2 patients had anti-HLA antibody; 3 patients had anti-MICA antibody; 2 patients had both anti-HLA and anti-MICA antibody. Three patients with no anti-HLA and anti-MICA antibodies before transplantation created antibodies after transplantation from 3 to 6 months. One patient created NDSA after transplantation and appeared chronic rejection. There were 3 patients who had anti-MICA antibodies before transplantation. The expression levels of antibodies had changed from high to low, but the specific anti-MICA antibody had not changed during the follow-up on month 1, 3, 6 and 12 after transplantation. The patient with pre-transplantation low level of anti-HLA class Ⅱ antibody appeared acute rejection with fever and his CMV was positive as well. The patient's SCr levels changed from 171 μmol/L to 236 μmol/L after I to 3 months post-transplantation. Twenty-four patients were divided into positive and negative groups according to the specific antibody. There was significant difference of SCr levels between the 2 groups 1 month and 1 year after transplantation(P= 0.03, 0.05). Conclusions It is important to detect the specificity and positive value of anti-HLA antibodies and anti-MICA antibody regularly during the post transplantation follow-up. This will make an effective therapy for decreasing the occurrenee and development of acute or chronic rejection and hy-pofunction on renal allograft.

Objective To investigate the impact of severity of psoriasis on quality of life in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.Methods A questionnaire interview was carried out to the outpatients with psoriasis vulgaris(n=504)from Dec.2000to Sept.2001.All the patients were more than18years old.The content of questionnaire included daily life and activities,work and school performance,social activities and personal relationships,and psychologic status.Disease severity was assessed with psoriasis area and severity index(PASI).498patients were included for the final analysis.Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software package.Results63.3%patients were restricted in their food selection.40.2%had bad sleep,59.0%could not dress short clothes in the summer.26.5%were restricted in use of public traffic and services.15.1%were rejected in haircut and cosmetic service.31.2%had decreased income along with severity of the disease.58.8%felt uncomfortable in social activities and public places.25.8%avoided handshaking with others.43.3%were reluctant in social intercourse.29.0%were not willing to take part in social activities,especially for moderate and severe cases.54.9%felt that their self-esteem was injured.26.6%thought that other peoples always avoided to meet them.64.4%felt anxiety for their disease.83.1%often worried about relapse or exacerbation of psoriasis.15.9%showed a tendency to commit suicide.Conclusions The more severe the disease is the more impact it may have on the daily life,work and school performance,social activities and personal relationship,and psychologic status in patients with psoriasis vulgaris.It is reccommended that besides the conventional treatment bio-psychic and social medical management be given to the patients especially for moderate and severe cases.
