Objective To evaluate the effect of lidocaine on B cell lymphoma 2 gene (Bcl 2) and CPP32 protein expressions of hippocampus CA1 neurons after transient global cerebral ischemia Both genes are closely related to the development of apoptosis Methods Twenty four healthy adult rabbits weighing (3 0?0 2)kg were randomly divided into three groups: sham operative group (SH group, n=6); ischemia group (IS group, n=9) received normal saline 1 5ml I V 5min before ischemia and lidocaine group (LI group, n=9) received 2% lidocaine 10 ml/kg I V 5 min before ischemia Global cerebral ischemia was induced by the occlusions of bilateral common carotid and vertebral arteries All the rabbits were decapitated 24 h after ischemia and brain tissue was removed immediately Expressions of Bcl 2 and CPP32 proteins of hippocampus CA1 neurons were detected by immunoblotting Results Expression of Bcl 2 in IS group and LI group increased significantly as compared with that in SH group (P

ve To evaluate the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on hemeoxygenase-1 (HO-1) mRNA and HO-1 protein expression in isolated rat thoracic aorta (TA) and pulmonary tissue (PT), trying to explain the mechanism of different patho-physiological changes of systemic and pulmonary circulation in septic shock. Methods Twenty-four Wistar rats of either sex weighing 250-400g were sacrificed by cervical spine dislocation. Thoracic aorta and lung tissue were removed under aseptic condition. They were randomly divided into four groups of six animals each: control group (C) and three test groups in which TA and PT were incubated with LPS (1?g?ml-1) for 3h (group LPS3), 8h(group LPS8) and 24h (group LPS24) respectively. HO-1 mRNA expression and HO-1 protein expression in TA and PT were detected by RT-PCR and Western Blot. Results (1) As compared with that in group C, HO-1 protein expression in TA reached peak level in group LPS3, and the peak level was maintained in groups LPS8 and LPS24; while in PT HO-1 protein expression started increasing in group LPS3 and peaked in group LPS8 and tended to decline in group LPS24 but the difference in HO-1 protein expression between group C and LPS 24 was still significant. (2) As compared with that in control group, the HO-1 mRNA expression in TA peaked in LPS3, the peak level was maintained in LPS 8, but it returned to baseline level in LPS 24; while in PT HO-1 mRNA expression started increasing in LPS 3 and peaked in LPS 8 and returned to baseline level in LPS 24. Conclusions LPS can significantly enhance HO-1 mRNA and protein expression in isolated rat thoracic aorta and pulmonary tissue but the time-course is somewhat different between the two tissues. This may explain the different patho-physiologic changes of systemic and pulmonary circulation in septic shock.

Objective:To survey the incidence of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in high risk patients undergoing thoracotomy and observe the changes of hemostatic activity. Methods: Fifty-two consecutive patients (ages that ranged from 35 to 79, 34 men and 18 women) with lung or esophagus cancer were enrolled into this prospective trial. The patients included underwent major thoracic surgery from February 2003 to April 2003. Bilateral lower extremity duplex ultrasonography for DVT screening was performed 3-10 days post surgery in all 52 patients and 57 matched clinic normal controls. Venous blood was collected to determine fibrinogen(FIB), D-dimer(D-D), plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI), antithrombin (AT), thrombin antithrombin complex (TAT), prothrombin time (PT),international normalized ratio(INR), and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) immediately before surgery, the third and tenth days postoperatively. No patient had a prior thromboembotic history. Risk factors for DVT were evaluated. Results: Of the 52 patients, 28 (53.8%) had an acute postoperative DVT detected in the calf. One patient died of suspected pulmonary embolism postoperatively. Plasma levels of FIB and D-D increased significantly up to 7 d after operation. AT level decreased significantly 3 d after operation and returned to normal 7 d latter. TAT increased significantly 3 d post operation and decreased to normal on day 7. PAI level was lowered 3 d after surgery, but increased significantly on day 7 compared with that on day 3. With the addition of risk factors related to thrombosis, the incidence of DVT was increased correspondingly. Conclusion: Of the patients undergoing major thoracic surgery,53.8% of them had a postoperative DVT by postoperative screening duplex ultrasound. In Chinese population, incidence of DVT appears to be high without prophylaxis, which is similar to other reports of westerners. These patients had a number of risk factors for the development of DVT, which include older age, overweight, hypertension, diabetes, and history of thromboembolism, etc. Prophylactic measures should be taken against postoperative venous thromboembolism in major thoracic surgery with high risk, including early mobilization, anticoagulant therapy with heparins, and intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC).

0.05).There were no significant differences in thrombus-associated indexes except a slight change of plasminogen activator antigen.CONCLUSIONS:The incidence of DVT after tumor removal of urinary system is mainly associated with malignant tumor itself, operation wound, postoperative immobilization and the risk factors of thrombus,the administration of reptilase does not increase the incidence of DVT,but might promote the fibrinolytic activity of patients.

Objective To determine the factors contributing to the development of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the lower extremity in patients after hip or knee arthroplasty and hip fracture internal fixation.Methods One hundred and forty-seven consecutive patients receiving hip or knee arthroplasty and hip fracture internal fixation from 2004 to 2005 were included in this study. Their age ranged from 33 to 92 years. Duplex color ultrasonic inspection was performed on veins of the bilateral lower extremities before operation and 2 weeks after operation for detection of DVT. The patients were divided into a DVT group and a DVT-free group based on the development of DVT after operation. Detailed perioperative clinical information about the patients, surgery and anesthesia was collected.Results Lower extremity DVT was found in 42.2% of the patients after operation, while the incidence of proximal DVT was 2.7%. Compared with the DVT-free group, the usage rate and dosage of ephedrine increased significantly, the duration of anesthesia was significantly longer, and the white blood cell count (WBC) on the 1st postoperative day and the highest WBC count were significantly higher in the DVT group(P＜0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that the above factors were closely related to DVT.Conclusion Duration of anesthesia ＞ 3 h, ephedrine administration and a marked increase in WBC count after operation are the risk factors for DVT in the lower extremities in patients after hip or knee arthroplasty and hip fracture internal fixation.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effects of compound glycyrrhizin combined with halometasone cream on vitiligo.METHODS:95patients with vitiligo were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.64patients in treatment group had taken compound glycyrrhizin continuously for60days at a dose of1～3tablets with3times per day,meanwhile,0.05%halometasone cream had been used locally with2times per day.While31other patients in control group had only been treated with0.05%halometasone cream with2times per day for60days.RESULTS:The efficacy rate in treatment group was62.5%as compared with32.3%in control group,there existed significant difference between the two groups(P

Objective To investigate the extent of pancreatic and liver function damage of acute necrotizing pancreatitis (ANP) rats under altitude hypoxia environment,and to provide a reference for better diagnosis and treatment of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) in the plateau region.Methods Ninety-six specific pathogen free (SPF) Wistar male rats were involved in 1 500 meters,3 300 meters and 4 300 meters altitude.The model of ANP was established by using pancreatic capsule injection of sodium taurocholate (NaTc).In the sham operation group,the rats' belly was opened and closed after only flipping its pancreas several times.Rats in sham group were sacrificed at 6 h,and ANP group were sacrificed at 6,12,24 h after modeling.Serum amylase activity was measured,and pancreas and liver tissue were harvested for pathological examination and score.Results Serum amylase activity in sham operation group rats was not remarkably changed,and pathological changes of pancreas and liver were not obvious.At same altitude,serum amylase activity,pancreas and liver pathology score of ANP rats at each time point were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group;and serum amylase activity,pancreas and liver pathology scores of ANP 12,24 h group rats were significantly higher than those of ANP 6h group;and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).At 3 300 meters,4 300 meters altitude,the pancreas and liver pathology scores of ANP rats at each time point were significantly higher than those at 1 500 meters altitude,and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05),but the difference in serum amylase activity was not statistically significant.Conclusions With the increase of altitude,pancreatic and liver pathological damage of ANP rats shows continuing aggravation.

Objective To summarize the experience of applying choledochoscopy, duodenoscopy and laparoscopy, one-stage suturing of common bile duct, to treat cholecystolithiasis and choledocholithiasis that failed to respond to ordinary endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST). Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of twenty-five pa-tients with choledocholithiasis complicated with cholecystolithiasis. 25 cases of failure to endoscopic stone extraction underwent LC and laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with primary suture of (BD) from June 2013 to June 2015. Results One patient was converted to laparotomy with small incision. The other one had residual stones and therefore underwent a second EST. After the treatment, two patients developed hyperamylasemia, which was cured by conservative therapy; One patient had bile leakage, which was treated by percutaneous drainage with no serious complications and death. No long-term complication was found in a portion of patients followed up until now. Conclusion In properly selected patients of duodenoscopy management-failed, synchronous treatment of combined application of three endoscopies in laparoscopic surgery with primary suture of (BD) is feasible, effective and safe.
