Objective To compare cardiovascular responses of intubations by Discopo and Macintosh laryngoscope in elderly patients with hypertension. Methods Sixty elderly hypertensive patients with ASAⅡ~Ⅲundergoing elective surgery were equally randomized into two groups. After induction of general anesthesia , orotracheal intubation was performed with Discopo or Macintosh. The Mean arterial pressure (MBP) and heart rate (HR), as while as Electrocardiogram (ECG) and Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2), were recorded before (baseline values) and at 1,3,5 minutes after intubation(post-induction values). The rate of one-time successive intubation,intubation time and complication were also recorded. Results Compared with the macintosh group, the rate of one-time successive intubation was higher and the intubation time was shorter in the Discopo group (P< 0.05, respectively),with no complications. Compared with T0,MBP and HR at T2 in the two groups and T3 in the Macintosh group increased significantly (P < 0.05). Compared with the Macintosh group,MBP and HR at T2,T3 of the Discopo group decreased significantly (P < 0.05). Conclusion Little effect of tracheal intubation with Discopo on cardiovascular response was observed in elderly hypertensive patients.

Objective We used the DNA methylation microarrays to investigate the differential methylation genes and loci sites in Kashin-Beck disease (KBD),to study the relationship between DNA methylation and KBD pathogenesis.Methods Totally 12 KBD adults and 12 healthy adults were selected and peripheral blood samples were collected and DNA was extracted.Illumina 450K bead-chip was applied to detect methylation status in KBD and healthy controls.Aberrant hyper-methylated sites were filtrated according to the P value after correction and methylation differences,together with GenomeStudio soft.Screened genes were validated using bisulfite sequencing polymerase chain reaction (BSP) technology.Results A total of 484 948 loci sites were analyzed and compared,93 differential methylated loci were found by comparing KBD and normal people,including 34 hypermethylated sites and 59 hypomethylated sites.There were 50 genes corresponding to the loci,43 genes not reported in literature.According to gene ontology analysis,the genes were involved in the immune response,antigen processing,phosphate and phosphoric acid metabolism and phosphorylation and the process of metal ions in combination.However,in the verification test using BSP method,there was no significant difference in methylation rate in human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-DRB1 between the case and the control group (48％ vs 70％,x2 =3.688,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The high and low differentially methylated sites in peripheral blood DNA of KBD patients are significantly different from those of the health control.HLA-DRB1 locus is not significantly different between the BSP verification test and methylation chip.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of the self-retaining laryngeal microsurgical operation in the treatment of Reinke ’ s edema of vocal cords . Methods There were 24 cases of Reinke ’ s edema who were treated with self-retaining laryngoscope mucosal stripping surgery of vocal cords from January 2004 to December 2009 ( traditional group ) , while another group of 32 cases of Reinke ’ s edema were treated with self-retaining laryngoscopic microsurgery lateral submucosal incision micro-flap operation of vocal cords from January 2010 to December 2015 ( laryngeal microsurgery group ) .The two groups were executed with electronic laryngoscopy and subjective voice evaluation GRBAS ( The Speech and Language Institute of Japanese in 1979, G: Grade, R:Roughness, B:Breathness, A:Asthenia, S:Strain) in pre-operation and post-operation (1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks).The wound healing time of vocal cords , hoarseness improved time and voice improvement were retrospectively compared between the two groups . Results The patients in laryngeal microsurgery group had earlier voice hoarse improvement and more rapid mucosal epithelial of vocal cords recovery time in post-operation as compared with the patients in the traditional group [voice improving time, (7.3 ±1.9) d vs. (11.3 ±2.7) d, t=-6.481, P=0.000;mucosal epithelial of vocal cords recovery time , (12.2 ±3.1) d vs.(20.1 ±3.4) d, t=-9.062, P=0.000].The results of pre-operative voice evaluation with GRBAS showed no significant differences between the two groups, but the results of post-operative evaluation of each session (1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks) showed that the main data were statistically different.The GRBAS score of laryngeal microsurgery group was lower than that of traditional group in post -operation, especially after 8 weeks (8 weeks after post-operation, G:1.0 ±0.8 vs.1.6 ±0.2, t=-3.584, P=0.000; R:1.0 ±0.9 vs. 1.5 ±0.4, t=-2.536, P=0.014;B:1.0 ±0.6 vs.1.4 ±0.5, t=-2.647, P=0.011).In laryngeal microsurgery group, 24 cases were cured , 5 cases were effective and 3 cases were invalid , contrasting in the traditional group with 11 cases of cured , 7 cases of effective and 6 cases of invalid respectively, with a significant difference (Z=-2.239, P=0.025).No significant difference in effective rate between the two groups [90.6%(29/32) vs.75.0%(18/24),χ2 =1.459, P=0.227]. Conclusion The clinical efficacy of self-retaining laryngoscope microsurgery in the treatment of Reinke ’ s edema of vocal cords is faster and better comparing traditional operation , with a more significant pronunciation quality improvement .

AIM:To investigate the effects of peroxiredoxin 4 ( Prdx4) protein expression levels on the migra-tion and invasion of human cervical cancer HeLa cells.METHODS:The plasmid pcDNA3.0-HA-Prdx4 was transfected into HeLa cells.The HeLa cells were infected with LV-Prdx4 RNAi vector to establish stable Prdx4 shRNA HeLa cells. The change in the expression of Prdx4 protein was validated by Western blotting.The wound-healing assay, and Transwell migration and invasion assays were performed to detect the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, respectively.RESULTS:The expression of Prdx4 protein was up-regulated in the HeLa cells after transfection with pcDNA3.0-HA-Prdx4 plasmid ( P<0.05), whereas it was down-regulated in the Prdx4 shRNA HeLa cells (P<0.05).The abilities of migration and inva-sion were significantly increased in Prdx4-overexpressing HeLa cells compared with non-transfected and mock plasmid trans-fected control groups ( P<0.01) .When Prdx4 was knocked down by shRNA, the migration and invasion of the HeLa cells were remarkably repressed compared with blank control group and negative control group ( P<0.01 ) .CONCLUSION:The up-regulation of Prdx4 expression facilitates the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, and the down-regulation of Prdx4 expression inhibits the migration and invasion of HeLa cells, indicating that Prdx4 may be a potential molecular target for cervical cancer therapy.

White spot syndrome virus(WSSV), Taura syndrome virus(TSV)and Infectious hypodermal and haematopoietic necrosis virus(IHHNV)are three shrimp viruses responsible for major pandemics affecting the shrimp farming industry. Shrimps samples were collected from 12 farms in Zhejiang province, China, in 2008 and analyzed by PCR to determine the prevalence of these viruses. From the 12 sampling locations, 8 farms were positive for WSSV, 8 for IHHNV and 6 for both WSSV and IHHNV. An average percentage of 57.4% of shrimp individuals were infected with WSSV, while 49.2% were infected with IHHNV. A high prevalence of co-infection with WSSV and IHHNV among samples was detected from the following samples: Bingjiang(93.3%), liuao(66.7%), Jianshan(46.7%)and Xianxiang(46.7%). No samples exhibited evidence of infection with TSV in collected samples. This study provides comprehensive information of the prevalence of three shrimp viruses in Zhejiang and may be helpful for disease prevention control in this region.

Objective To investigate the influences of polyethylene glycol on the solubility and in vitro dissolution of m-nisoldipine,which could provide guidance for chosing formulations of m-nisoldipine. Methods Solid dispersions of m-nisoldipine were prepared by solvent-melting method with polyethylene glycol6000 matrix. DSC and XRD spectroscopy were applied to identify the solid dispersions. The solubility and in vitro dissolution were detected by UV spectroscopy. Results The DSC and XRD map were different from the crude drug and their physical mixtures. The dissolution rates(13,15,17) were faster(35. 31%,38. 71%,41. 48%) than that of the crude drug(26. 80%),and the dissolution rates of the solid dispersions in the same ratio were higher than the physical mixtures. Conclusion DSC analysis indicated that eutectic compounds were produced by the m-nisoldipine and polyethylene glycol,in which polyethylene glycol6000 acts as a carrier. The solubility and in vitro dissolution of m-nisoldipine can be increased.
