ObjectiveTo study the safety and effectiveness of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) combined with tranexamic acid(TA) in neurosurgical operation. Methods Forty patients underwent selective neurosurgical operation were divided into two groups by radom digits table with 20 cases each, both groups were infused HES(130/0.4) 20 ml/kg for AHH after anesthesia, TA intravenous injection of loading 10 mg/kg, 1 mg/(kg·h) continuous infusion until the end of surgery in experimental group,only for AHH in control group. The mean arterial blood pressure(MAP), central venous pressure(CVP), heart rate (HR), pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) were measured before AHH (T0), A HH immediately (T1), 1 h after AHH (T2), at the end of operation (T3), and in the corresponding time hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Hct),prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), platelet ( Plt ), fibrinogen ( FIB ) were measured; the intraoperative bleeding, blood transfusion and transfusion rate were counted in both groups.ResultsThere was no significant difference in HR and MAP at different time between two groups (P ＞0.05),compaued with T0,CVP at T1,T2 was increased (P＜0.05),Hb and Hct at T1,T2,T3 were decreased (P＜ 0.05 ). PT and APTT at T2,T3 were longer than that at T0 in control group (P＜ 0.05 ) ;Plt at T1 ,T2,T3 was lower in control group than that at T0 in two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ), Plt at T2, T3 was obviously increased in control group compared with experimental group (P ＜ 0.01 ) ; FIB at T2, T3 was lower than that at T0 in control group (P ＜0.05). The intraoperative bleeding, blood transfusion and transfusion rate in experimental group [(650 ±560) nl, (150 ± 50)ml,30％(6/20)]were lower than those in control group [(820 ±410) ml,(380 ±290) ml,60％ (12/20)],there were significant differences between two groups(P ＜0.05).ConclusionAHH combined with TA has obvious effect of saving blood and hemodynamic stability with less influence on coagulation in neurosurgical operation.

Objective To explore the safety and feasibility of controlled hypotension with urapidil and nitroglycerin esmolol-three drugs combination in endoscopic surgery. Methods Forty patients who were received endoscopic surgeries were randomly divided into two groups, 20 cases in each group, urapidil-esmolol-nitroglycerin controlled hypotension group (A group) and non controlled hypotension group (B group). Systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and heart rate (HR) were recorded at the following points: before anesthesia (basal, T1), immediate before surgery (T2), 30 minutes after the start of surgery (T3), end of the operation (T4), 10 minutes after the end of surgery (T5). We recorded blood loss, operative time, transfusion volume, urine. At last the parameters were compared between the two groups. Results The difference of SBP, DBP, MAP at the points of T2, T3, T4 in the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05) comparing with the control group (group B). The vital signs of patients during anesthesia in A group had more stable than that of the B group , and the operation time of the A group was significantly shorter than that of the B group. Meanwhile, the blood loss in A group was significantly decreased(P < 0.05). Conclusion It has synergistic antihypertensive effect, and can reduce both side effects and the risk of anesthesia and surgery for us to use urapidil-esmolol-nitroglycerin three antihypertensive drugs in combination. It is a safe and reliable method for clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effect of preoperative single target administrating of fibrinogen(FIB)on the intraop-erative bleeding and coagulation function in posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PLIF)operation.Methods 60 cases of lumbar inter-vertebral disc herniation(LDH)undergoing elective PLIF operation were divided into two groups according to the preoperative FIB levels:normal control group(NC,FIB≥3.0 g/L,n=20)and low FIB group(FIB<3.0 g/L,n=40).The low FIB group was ran-domly re-divided into 2 groups:the low HIB control group(LC,n=20)and the preoperative single FIB administrating group(PF, n=20).After anesthesia induction,the PF group was given FIB;the LC and NC groups were given the same volume of saline solu-tion as solvent volume required by administrating FIB dose.The change of blood coagulation 4 indexes were detected and the activa-ted clotting time(ACT),coagulation time(CR)and platelet function(PF)were detected by the sonoclot analyzer before and after drug administrating.The bleeding amount was weighed after ending operation.Results The FIB concentration after administrating in the PF group was (3.75±0.23)g/L,which was significantly higher than (2.62±0.33)g/L in the NC group and (2.23±0.22) g/L in the LC group,the differences among 3 groups were statistically significant(P <0.05);the CR value after administrating in the PF group was (21.42±7.15)U/min,which was higher than (18.21±5.62)U/min in the NC group and (15.21±5.63)U/min in the LC group.The bleeding amount in the PF group was (516.74±135.53)g,which was lower than (660.71±119.34)g in the NC group and (726.72±160.47)g in the LC group,the difference among 3 groups had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Preoperative single target administrating of fibrinogen can effectively increase the FIB level,improve the blood coagulation func-tion and reduce the periaoperative bleeding amount.

Objective To study the influence of sunscreens with different efficacy on delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH) and their immunoprotective effect in mice.Methods A cohort of mice were randomly divided into 5 groups with 10 mice in each group:group 1 as the positive control without irradiation,group 2 receiving solar-simulated radiation (SSR) only,group 3 receiving SSR and protected by sunscreen l with sun protection factor 15(SPF15)and persistent pigment darkening(PPD)12,group 4 receiving SSR and protected by sunscreen 2 with SPF 50 and PPD 28,and group 5 as the negative contml receiving SSR only.SSR was carried out on the back of mice with the UVA dose being 1.4 J/cm2 and UVB dose being 100 mJ/cm2 for 10 days.After a 5-day irradiation,the groups 1 to 4 were immunized by intraperitoneal injection with 100 μl(107 cells/ml) of Candida albicans suspension.On the 10th day both sides of the posterior foot pad were measured;then the foot pads were injected with additional 50 μl of the Candida albicans suspension.Twenty-four hours after the injection,the thickness of each foot pad was measured,and immunosuppression rate was calculated.Finally,the mice were sacrificed and skin samples were obtained from the back of these mice followed by the examination of CDla, CD80 and CD86 expression by Western blot.Resets The thickness of edema in foot pads was 0.41±0.38 mm,0.21±0.23 mm and 0.30 ± 0.25 mm in group 1,3 and 4,respectively,significantly higher than in group 5 and 2(0.04±0.03 mm,0.14±0.12 mm,respectively,all P<0.05),while no significant difference was observed between the group 3 and 4(P>0.05).Significant differences were observed in the immunosuppression rate between group 2,3 and 4(73.0%±11.3%,54.1%±6.4%,29.7%±7.5%,respectively,all P<0.01).Western blot revealed a significant increment in the expression of CDla protein in group 1 compared with group 2 as well as in the expression of CD86 protein in group 1 and group 3 compamd with group 2 and group 5(all P<0.05),but no statistical difference was observed between the other groups in the expression level of CDla,CD80 or CD86(P>0.05).Conclusions The exposure to sub-erythema dose of UV can induce DTH,and sunscreens have an immunoprotective effect in this process.Epidermal Langerhans cells are not essential for UV-induced immunosuppression.

Objective To investigate the expressions of TLR2 and TLR4 in patients with psoriasis vulgaris and the efrect of methotrexate(MTX)on them.so as to explore the therapeutic mechanism of MTX in psoriasis vulgafis.Methods Forty-three patients with psoriasis vulgaris were recruited into the study together with 30 normal human controls.Oral MTX was given to patients with an interval of 12 hours for three times per week until the control of conditions followed by 4 weeks of mainmining treatment.The dosage of MTX was 5 mg initially and decreased to 2.5 mg in the maintaining period.Flow cytometry was used to detect the expression of TLR2 and TLR4 in peripheral blood CD14~+ cells from the controls and patients at baseline,4 and 8 weeks after the beginning of treatment.Results The expression rate of TLR2 and TLR4 in CD14~+ cells was(92.6±4.3)%and(48.5±4.6)%,respectively,in untreated patients,significantly higher than that in normal controls(botll P＜0.01).A significant increase was observed in the expression rate of TLR2 and TLR4 in patients with active psoriasis compared with those with inactive psoriasis [(97.5±4.1)%vs(87.6±5.6)%,(55.3±5.8)%vs(40.7±7.1)%,both P＜0.05].Eigh weeks after the beginning of treatment with MTX.the expression rate of TLR2 and TLR4 significantly decreased to (79.6±6.7)%and(34.6±5.9)%.respectively(both P＜0.05).The psoriasis area and severity index(PASI)score had no significant correlation with the expression rate of TLR2 or TLR4(r=0.24.0.27,both P＞0.05).Conclusions TLR2,TLR4 and innate immune response mediated by both receptors play an important role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.MTX may exert its therapeutic effect on psoriasis by inhibiting the expression of TLR2 and TLR4.

Objective To observe the effects of acute hypervolemic hemodilution(AHH)with dif-ferent plasma substitutes on blood gas analysis and plasma electrolytes in neurosurgieal patients.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱpatients undergoing elective neurosurgery were divided into 3 groups(n=20 each)：voluven group(group V),polygeline group(group P)and lactated Ringer solution group(group R).After in-duetion of anesthesia the patients were randomized to receive 20 ml/kg of either 6% voluven,5% polygeline or lactated Ringer solution within 30 min.Blood samples were taken before(T1),immediately(T2)and 30 min after the end fluid infusion(T3)for determination of blood gas analysis including Hct and Hb,the plas-ma electrolytes.And during the hemodilution the heart rate(HR),mean arterial pressure(MAP) and central venous pressure(CVP) were continuously monitored.Results Group R was significantly lower in fluid ex-pansion rate than group P and group V,but there was no significant difference between group P.In the HH procedure three groups of patients MAP and HR maintained stable relatively,CVP increased signifieantly af-ter AHH compared with the baseline value before AHH in group V and group P(P<0.01).Compared with T1,plasma potasgium concentration significantly increased in group P in T3 and plasma sodium concentra-tion signitieantly increased in group V in T2(P<0.01),while plasma calcium concentration significantly de-creased in group V in T2(P<0.05).Compared with T2,plasma potassium oncentration signitleantly in-creased in group V and group P in T3(P<0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group P,plasma potassium con-centration decreased in group V in T2,while plasma calcium concentration significantly decreased in group V in T3(P<0.05).but they were still within normal range.Conclusions Voluven and polygeline are compa-rable in expanding blood volume and more efficient than lactated Ringer solution,hemodynamics is stable.Voluven and polygeline are small influence to the blood gas analysis and plasma electndytes,and safety han-dling in neurosurgical pafients.

Objective To investigate the clinical phenotype, genotype and ultrastructural features in a pedigree with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. Methods Patients were examined for clinical manifestation. PCR was carried out to amplify all the 15 exons and adjacent splice sites of TGM1 gene followed by bidirectional sequencing. Skin samples were taken by biopsy from the back of the proband, fixed in 3% glu-taraldehyde for transmission electron microscopy. Results The proband presented an intermediate clinical phenotype between lamellar ichthyosis (LI) and non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE), while his brother manifested as a collodion baby. A C551T heterozygous mutation which located in the third exon of TGM1 gene and resulted in a substitution of arginine by cysteine at codon 143 (R143C), was detected in the proband, his brother and father. Meanwhile, another heterozygous C-to-T transition at position 759 causing a substitution of serine by phenylalanine at codon 212 (S212F), was noted in the proband, his brother and mother. Electron microscopy revealed not only features of ichthyosis congenital type Ⅲ but also those of ichthyosis congenital type Ⅱ in lesions of the proband. Conclusions The patients in this pedigree carry compound heterozygous mutations, i.e. R143C, a hot missense mutation, as well as a de novo mutation S212F. The proband, who harbors mutations in the TGM1 gene, shows electron microscopic features characteristic not only of ichthyosis congenital type Ⅱ but also of ichthyosis congenital type Ⅲ.

Objective To study the effect of acute non-isovolemic hemodilution (ANIH) plus tranexamic acid on bleeding and coagulation factors. Methods Forty-two patients with brain tumor under general anesthesia were randomly divided into group N and group T with 21 patients in each group. Group N was given ANIH , while group T was given tranexamic acid and ANIH. Bleeding, transfusion, urine volume were recorded. Coagulation factors and D-dimer were detected one day before and after surgery. Hemoglobin was recorded before and after ANIH and after auto-blood was transfused. Results There was less bleeding in group T. Hemoglobin in group T was higher after transfusion. No significant difference was found in Group T and group N in terms of urine volume and transfusion rate. Both the two groups had no difference on variation of coagulation factors. Conclusion ANIH with tranexamic acid has no significant effect on coagulation but produces synergetic effect on decreasing bleeding. They can be applied in surgery of brain tumor safely.
