OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of praeruptorin A for brachial plexus block anesthesia in patients receiving up-per extremity fractures surgery. METHODS:68 patients receiving upper extremity fracture surgery were randomly divided into trial group and control group with 34 cases in each group. Trial group was given praeruptorin A 0.2 mg/kg intravenously before brachial plexus block anesthesia,and control group was given equivalent volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection. The anesthesia induc-tion time,the pain reflex disappearance time and postoperative recovery time were compared between 2 groups,and hemodynamic parameters and RPP were recorded in 2 groups before anesthesia (T0),immediately after anesthesia (T1),5 min after anesthesia (T2),10 min after anesthesia (T3),20 min after anesthesia (T4) . RESULTS:Anesthesia induction time,pain reflex disappear-ance time and postoperative respiratory recovery time in trial group were all significantly shorter than in control group,with statisti-cal significance(P<0.05). SBP,DBP,HR and MAP of trial group were lower than those of control group at T2,T3,T4,with sta-tistical significance(P<0.05). RPP of trial group was significantly lower than that of control group at T1,T2,T3 and T4,with sta-tistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For brachial plexus anesthesia of upper extremity fractures surgery,preoperative application of praeruptorin A can shorten anesthesia induction time,pain reflex disappearance time and postoperative respiratory re-covery time,and reduce the fluctuation of hemodynamics.

Objective To develop a questionnaire which measures leisure satisfaction for university students. Methods Initial items of the questionnaire were compiled according to theoretical analysis and interviews. 400 college students were recruited to respond to the items. The explorative factor analysis was used to decide the final items and dimensions. Another 350 college students were recruited to respond to the decided questionnaire and a criterion questionnaire. Results The leisure satisfaction questionnaire consisted of three dimensions : Relaxing Satisfaction (RS) , Contacting Satisfaction (CS), and Transcend Satisfaction (TS). Internal consistency (Cronbach' sα) of the three dimensions were 0.86,085 and 0. 84 and the Cuttmann Split-half Coefficient were 0.76,0.83 and 0.86. The cumulative explanation of the variance was 58.956%.

Ahigh-resolutionmethodforhumanleukocyteantigen-B(HLA-B)genotypingwasestablished based on the optimized polymerase chain reaction, cloning and sequencing technology. The exon2 and exon3 of HLA-B gene were amplified with primers based on the HLA-B gene sequence. These produced heterozygous alleles were effectively cloned into plasmid DNA based on the principle of plasmid incompatibility, and were followed by bacterial culture. Then Sanger sequencing was carried out and after analyzing the result by software ClustalX2 and IMTG/HLA database comparison, the HLA-B genotype of the samples was achieved. Seven clinical samples were detected, and the results were consistent with those of PCR-SBT genotyping method. The method was cost-effective, high-resolution and it did not require technical software. The use of universal primers simplified the cumbersome design and optimization process of specific primers.

Objective To test the accuracy of a three-dimensional dose verification system CompassR,which reconstructing dose distribution based on measurements and independent dose calculation,and to evaluate the feasibility of its application in clinical intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) quality assure.Methods A set of square-wave chart patterns of 2 cm,1 cm and 0.5 cm gaps was designed and 11 completed IMRT lung plans were selected for the test.EDR2 film and the ionization chamber were used for test and verifying of plane dose distribution and some special points dose of CompassR.The IMRT phantom plans were verified by CompassR with three-dimension based on anatomical information.Parameters including the volume γ pass rate and the average dose deviation were tested using dose volume histograms.Results In square-wave chart patterns test,the dose distribution reconstructed and calculated by CompassR coincided with the measurement using film.The γ pass rates (3％/3 mm,2％/2 mm) exceeded 90％.When the width of field is 0.5 cm,the γ pass rate was a little lower on account of the penumbra zone.Compared to the dose distribution profile which was measured by film,the maximum deviations of the dose distribution profile which was reconstructed and calculated by CompassR were 3.21％ and 2.70％.The absolute dose deviation of specific point in the IMRT plans was less than 3％,the maximum deviation occurred in the lung.Compared to film,the averageγpass rates on the isocenter plain in IMRT plan were (94.65 + 1.93)％ (3％/3 mm) which was reconstructed by CompassR.In three-dimensional dose verification,the volume γ pass rates of targets and risk organs were not less than 90％,and the deviation of average dose was less than 1％.Conclusions Accuracy of the tested system satisfies the demand of IMRT dose verification.CompassR could provide information of volumetric dosimetry and anatomical location of dose error,which is benefit for evaluating the clinical value of verification result.
