Objective To investigate the protective effects of ulinastatn on the lungs in patients with lung cancer undergoing lobectomy. Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients with stage Ⅲ lung cancer, aged 50-64 yr weighing 53-70 kg undergoing lobectomy were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 20 each): control group (group C) and ulinastatin group (group U). In group U ulinastatin 10 000 U/kg in 20 ml normal saline was infused iv over 30 min immediately after induction of anesthesia. The patients were premedicated with diazepam 10 mg and scopolamine 0.3 mg im. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg, fentanyl 4 μg/kg, TCI of propofol (Cp 4 μg/ml) and vecuronium 0.12 mg/kg and maintained with TCI of propofol (Cp 2-3 μg/ml) and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. The patients were intubated with double-lumen tube. Correct position of the tube was checked with fiberoptic bronchoscope. One-lung ventilation (OLV) was performed (VT 6-8 ml/kg, RR 10-16 bpm, I:R 1:2, FiO2 100% ). PETCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Arterial blood samples were taken before anesthesia (T0, baseline), at 0.5 h and 1 h of OLV (T1, T2 ) and 4 h and 24 h after operation (T3, T4 )for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-10 concentrations. Respiratory index (RI)was calculated. (RI= PA-a O2 /PaO2 ).Results Compared with the baseline values at To, plasma TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and RI at T1-4 and plasma IL-10 concentrations at T1-3 were all significantly increased in group C,while in group U plasma TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations at T2,3 and plasma IL-10 concentrations and RI at T1-4 were all significantly increased ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Plasma TNF-α and IL-6 concentrations and RI were significantly lower while plasma IL-10 concentration was significantly higher in group U than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Ulinastatin 10 000 U/kg can effectively protect the lungs in patients with lung cancer undergoing lobectomy by attenuating systemic inflammatory response.

Objective:To study the feasibility of the early diagnosis of chronic periodontitis using near-infrared diffuse correlation spectroscopy(DCS).Methods:30 subjects were inclded.The relative gingival blood flow(GBF) at the labial,mesial and distal healthy gingiva(the control) or the gingiva with periodontitis of maxillary anterior teeth was respectively measured by DCS before periodontal treatment,a week and a month after treatment.Results:The GBF of healthy gingiva group,gingivitis group and periodontitis group was 129.73 ± 10.70,95.51 ± 11.83 and 67.84 ± 13.05 respectively.Periodontal indexes were decreased and the relative GBF increased significantly 1 week and 1 month after treatment.Gingival index and sulcus bleeding index were respectively correlated to relative GBF(r =-0.902,r =-0.893).Conclusion:Near-infrared diffuse correlation spectroscopy can non-invasively detect the relative gingival blood flow in different stages of chronic periodontitis,it may be a method of early diagnosis of chronic periodontitis.

Objective To explore the clinical value of multi-slice CT enhancement perfusion imaging (MSCTPI) in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thyroid disease. Methods Thirty-three patients with benign thyroid diseases were enrolled in the benign group, and were divided into subgroups of nodular goiter (n=17) and thyroid adenoma (n=16), while 10 patients with thyroid carcinoma were enrolled in the malignant group. All patients underwent routine CT scanning and MSCTPI with GE LightSpeed 16-detector row CT scanner. Time-density curve (TDC) of common carotid for benign thyroid diseases and thyroid carcinoma was depicted. Perfusion parameters of blood flow (BF), blood volume (BV), mean transit time (MTT) and permeability surface area product (PS) were obtained automatically. All parameters were statistically analyzed among groups. Results TDC showed single peak in common carotid artery, with small peak of speed up and slow down in benign group, while with baseline segment, up above, down segment and horizontal segment in thyroid carcinoma. There was statistical difference between benign and malignant groups in BF, BV, MTT and PS value (P=0.001, <0.001, 0.003 and <0.001, respectively). No significant difference of BV and MTT was found between subunits of benign and thyroid carcinoma (all P>0.05). BF was significantly different in benign and maligant groups (P<0.05), whereas PS in thyroid carcinoma and nodular goiter was significant different (P<0.05). No statistical difference of BF, BV, MTT and PS was detected between nodular goiter and thyroid adenoma. Conclusion MSCTPI can exactly show the blood flow features of thyroid. The analysis of BF, BV, MTT and PS is helpful for differential diagnosis between benign thyroid disease and thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To evaluate the value of the specific quality of life scale in effect evaluation of T2～4 transection of sympathetic chain to treat hyperidrosis of hand and foot. Methods 125 patients with hyperidrosis of hand and foot who had accepted operation in our department were retrospectively analyzed. These patients were evaluated with the specific QOL scale. The degree of satisfaction, days of stay,time of operation and complications were also recorded. The difference of life quality score was also compared and underwent correlation analysis. Results An obvious improvement of QOL was observed after operation. The same tend could be observed in the degree of satisfaction with the operation. The operation had been proved to be safe and effective. Few serious complication were reported. The alleviation of QOL and compensatory hyperhidrosis dominated the result of degree of satisfaction. Conclusions Operation can improve quality of life of hyperhidrosis patients greatly. The specific QOL questionnaire of hyperhidrosis has a bright future in clinical practice.

The genotypes of extended spectrum β-laetamases(ESBLs) and AmpC β-lactamases produced by Enterococcus gallinarum isolated from chloebia gouldiae were determined to elucidate the evolution mechanism of the resistant genes.The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of 18 antibacterial drugs against the Enterococcus gallinarum were detected with two dilution method,and the ESBLs and AmpC β-lactamases from the bacterium were amplified by PCR using the primers of TEM,SHV,CTX-M,ACC,CIT,DHA,EBC,FOX and MOX,respectively.The PCR products were cloned and then the cloned fragments were sequenced to identify their genotypes and subtypes.The bacterium was proved to be a ESBL-producing and AmpC β-lactamase-producing bacterium,showing severe resistant to the other drugs,except the third and forth cephalosporins,carbopenems and fosfomycin.Compared with that of AJ847364 (TEM-116),the sequence of the TEM-type was characterized by two nucleotide mutations (512T→A and 695A→C),which led to two mutations of amino acids(17111e→Lys and 232Lys→Thr),showing that the detected TEM-type was a new genotype,the sequence of the AmpC β-lactamase was similar to that of EF078894 (ACT-like type)with a 97% homology.The genotype of ESBLs of Enterococcus gallinarum was a new TEM-type derived from the TEM-type ESBLs of klebstella pneumoniae isolated from the same avian.The genotype of AmpC lactamase was ACT-type,which probably concerned with β-1actam antibiotics used.

ObjectiveTo investigate the finasteride application during the off-cycle of intermittent androgen blockade (IAB) in patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with IAB.MethodsEighty-seven patients with advanced prostate cancer were divided into two groups: forty-nine patients received IAB (group A), and thirty-eight patients underwent IAB and finasteride during the off-cycle of IAB (group B). The time of treatment cycle and the time to disease progression were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe patients in group A completed 89 treatment cycles and the mean cycle length was (12.8±5.4) months [treatment time and non-treatment time were (6.6±3.5) months and (7.1±4.8) months, respectively]. The patients in group B completed 85 cycles and the mean cycle length was (15.3±5.9) months [treatment time and non-treatment time were (6.9±3.2) months and (9.2v±3.9) months, respectively]. There was a significant difference between group A and B in the mean cycle length and the non-treatment time (P=0.0428,P=0.03).The 3-year progression rate was ( 34.8±3.5 )% in group A and ( 28.4±2.7)% in groups B ( P=0.035). ConclusionsThe application of finasteride during the off-cycle of IAB in patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with intermittent androgen blockade (IAB) can delay progression of advanced prostate cancer.
