Objective To study the risk factors of complications of 364 cases in treatment of rad-ical esophagectomy.Methods 364 patients underwent two or three-incision radical esophagectomy and the clinic data were retrospectively analyzed.After review of the reference,ten factors were regarded as the potential risk factors of postoperative complications,then univariate and multivariate analyses were per-formed.Results In 364 patients,66 patients had complications of this research field within postoperative 6 months.By univariate analysis,preoperative nutritional risk score、T-staging、preoperative complications、operation time、operation experience、anastomotic position、anastomotic extra manual suturing were deter-mined as influence factors.By multivariate analysis,preoperative nutritional risk score≥3、T-staging score≥3、preoperative complications、operation time≥240 min、cervical anastomosis were determined as risk factors,anastomotic extra manual suturing was determined as a protective factor.Conclusion The risk factors of the complications after radical esophagectomy are preoperative nutritional risk score≥3、T-stag-ing score≥3、preoperative complications、operation time≥240 min、cervical anastomosis;and the protective factor is anastomotic extra manual suturing.Paying attention and controling these risk factors may reduce the occurrence of postoperative complications.

The Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione S-transferases zeta class (AtGSTZ) is a multi-functional enzyme, which plays important role in cellular metabolism and environmental purification. Error-prone PCR and cycles of DNA shuffling were used to construct a mutagenesis library of AtGSTZ. The screening of the resultant libraries was carried out by a pH indicator dye-based colorimetric assay. Nine mutants which enhanced the dichloroacetic acid dechlorination activity were obtained. Among them, NN23 contained 25 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 120%, whereas NN20 contained 24 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 102%. EC1 contained 2 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 47%. The rest 6 mutants contained one amino acid substitution with their activity increasing from 9% to 60%. The enzymatic characterization showed that all the evolved enzymes increased their catalytic efficiencies towards dichloroacetic acid and binding affinity towards glutathione whereas some of them increased the renaturability. However there is no obvious change in their thermostability. Based on these data, functional residues related to catalysis and refolding of AtGSTZ were discussed.

Objective To study the effects of different hypertonic saline (4.5%and 7.5%) in fluid resuscitation on hemodynamics in traumatic rabbits with hemorrhagic shock.Methods Thirty-two healthy rabbits ( male or female, 2.0-3.0 kg body weight) were divided into 4 groups randomly:SHAM group, SWT group ( shock without treatment) , 4.5%group (resuscitation with 4.5% hypertonic saline), and 7.5% group ( resuscitation with 7.5% hypertonic saline), 8 rabbits in each group.The rabbit model of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock was established after anesthesia.The fluid used in the two methods of fluid resuscitation was infused into the rabbits at designed times.The hemodynamic data including the left intraventricular systolic pressure ( LVSP) and maximal change rate of left intraventricular pressure ( ±dp/dtmax) were determined at 0 min, 30 min, 60 min, and 90 min.Results (1) The rabbit models of uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock were generated successfully.At 30 min, data of SWT in the 4.5%and 7.5%groups had no significant difference through pairwise comparison (P>0.05).(2) The hemodynamic parameters changed similarly during the experiment.At 60 min, the values of the 7.5%group ( LVSP=115.00 ±8.37 mmHg, +dp/dtmax=4.29 ±0.50 mmHg/ms, -dp/dtmax=-3.25 ±0.25 mmHg/ms) were significantly higher than those in the 4.5%group ( ( LVSP=104.14 ±7.73 mmHg, +dp/dtmax=3.35 ±0.39 mmHg/ms, -dp/dtmax=-2.27 ±0.12 mmHg/ms) (P<0.05).At 90 min, the data of the 7.5%group were higher, but statistically not significantly different ( P>0.05 ) .Conclusions Fluid resuscitation can improve the hemodynamic function in traumatic rabbits with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock.Comparing with the 4.5%hypertonic saline, 7.5% hypertonic saline can improve the hemodynamic function more apparently.Our results may provide an experimental support for the treatment of clinical patients with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock.

Objective Through the optical microscopic observation to investigate the pathological influence of topical oxygen therapy on wounds of rats' muscles in hot and humid environment. Method The rat traumatic models were established. Twenty-four rats were randomly divided into four groups, including normal envi-ronment comparison group (NEC group, n=6), normal environment oxygen therapy group (NEO group, n=6). hot and humid environment comparison group (HHE group, n=6), hot and humid environment oxygen therapy group (HHO group, n=6).Then all rats were sampled to observe the changes of rats' muscle under optical microscope. Results Pathologic histology of muscle cells were obviously changed in HHE group. In these rats. disorganized myofibrillae with some loss of myofilaments. The damage of the muscle fibers in HHO group were better than that in HHE group. The damage of muscle ceils in NEC group were slighter than that in HHE group, the muscle of rats in NEO group are all normal. Conclusion In hot and humid en-vironment pathologic histology changes of wounds were serious, topical oxygen therapy could relieve muscle tissue ultrastructures change.

To popularization and improvement of on-the-spot rescueability is a vital means to reduce the accidental disability rate and the mortality rate,which is also a prospective concept of health.To popularize on-the -spot rescue knowledge and to improve self and mutual medical aid is a strongly public welfare and is the manifestation of social responsibility as well as respect for life.Based onthe investigation of on-the-spot rescue ability among three higher vocational college students in Shaanxi,this paper pointed out that the popularity rate of on-the -spot rescue knowledge was low among higher vocational college students,which no longer kept pace with the demand of social development and occupational requirement.It also analyzed the importance and urgency of improving higher vocational students'on-the-spot rescue ability from the perspective of social ethics.Strengthening the propaganda and training self-rescue skills might be a possible way to enhance students' on-the-spot rescue ability.

Objective To evaluate the imaging characteristics of atypical teratoid/rhab doid tumor (AT/RT) of central nervous system(CNS), and to improve the diagnostic ability of the disease. Methods The clinical and imaging findings of 9 patients were retrospectively analyzed. There were 5 male and 4 female, ages 7 months to 5 years,median age was 1.4 years. MR enhancement studies were obtained in all the cases. One case had CT enhancement examination. Results The lesions were seen in brain in 8 cases and in lumbosacral spinal cord in one case. The tumors size varied from 4.8—7.8 cm, Necrosis was seen in nine cases, cystic change in eight cases and hemorrhage in five cases. The tumors had high signal on DWI, and low signal on ADC map. Dura matter invasion(2 cases), cerebrospinal fluid spread(2 cases)and intracerebral metastasis were seen. Conclusion There are some relatively specific imaging findings of primary CNS AT/RT that could assist their diagnosis.

This study was aimed to explore pharmacological effects of epimedium pubescen flavonoid (EPF) on biomechanical properties among ovariectomized rats. Sixty female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats (aged 2-month-old) were randomly divided into six groups (n = 10), which were the sham control group (Group A), the model group (GroupB), the standard group (Group C), the treated 1 group (Group D), the treated 2 group (Group E), and the treated 3 group (Group F). Except the sham control group (Group A), rats in other groups had been ovariectomized. All rats were given the same feedstuff. Meanwhile, Group C was given calcium 75 mg·kg-1 combined with VitD3 21 IU·kg-1 by gastrogavage every day for 4 months; Group D was given EPF 75 mg·kg-1; Group E was given EPF 150 mg·kg-1;Group F was given EPF 300 mg·kg-1. At the end of the 4th month, all rats were sacrificed. Bones, which included tibia, femur and humerus of both sides and all lumbar vertebra bodies, had been taken out. Measurement was made on the elastic modulus, maximum loading capability, maximum stress, potential energy of deformation, and structural rigidity of biomechanical properties of the fourth lumbar vertebra body (LV4); the maximum loading capability, bone break load, potential energy of deformation, structural rigidity of the structural dynamics properties of the femur com-pact bone; the elastic modulus, maximum stress, maximum inherent strain, bone break stress, and bone break strain of the mechanical properties of a material of the femur compact bone in the experimental rats. The results showed that compared with Group B, the elastic modulus, maximum loading capability, maximum stress, potential energy of deformation, and structural rigidity of LV4; the maximum loading capability, bone break load, potential energy of de-formation, structural rigidity of the structural dynamics properties of the femur compact bone; the elastic modulus, maximum stress, maximum inherent strain, and bone break strain of the mechanical properties of a material of the fe-mur compact bone were obviously increased in Group A, D, E and F (P< 0.05). Group C had increasing tendency. There were no statistical differences among Group A, C, D, E and F. Group D, E, and F had increased with EPF dose-dependently. However, there were no statistical differences among them. There were no statistical differences on bone break strain of the mechanical properties of a material of the femur compact bone among Group A, C, D, E, and F. It showed that ovariectomization reduced the biomechanical properties of vertebra bodies, structural dynamics properties of the femur compact bone, and the mechanical properties of a material of the femur compact bone. The application of EPF can effectively prevent and treat the decreasing of biomechanical properties of ovariectomized rats, so as to keep them in a relatively higher level.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the mechanisms of Runing Recipe II (a recipe composed of traditional Chinese herbs) in inhibiting the growth of breast cancer by observing its effects on the expressions of p53 and ras oncogene proteins and cell cycle of the transplanted Ca761 breast cancer in mice. METHODS: We established the breast cancer model by transplanting Ca761 cells in mice. The mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: normal saline control group, CTX-treated group, Runing Recipe II-treated group, and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group, with 12 mice in each group. We detected the cell cycle of the cancer cells in the mice's transplanted tumor with flow cytometry and measured the expressions of p53 and ras oncogene proteins in the transplanted tumor with immunohistochemical methods. RESULTS: The percentages of tumor cells in S-phase of the Runing Recipe II treated group, CTX-treated group and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group were significantly lower than that of the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). The percentage of tumor cells in G(0)-G(1) phase of the Runing Recipe II treated group was lower than that of the CTX-treated group (P<0.05), while the percentage of tumor cells in G(2)-M phase was higher than that of the CTX-treated group. The immunoreactive scores (IRSs) of p53 in the Runing Recipe II treated group and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group were significantly lower than that in the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). The effect of CTX on the expression of p53 was not significant. The IRSs of ras oncogene protein in the Recipe II-treated group, CTX-treated group and Runing Recipe II and CTX-treated group were lower than that in the normal saline control group respectively (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: Runing Recipe II can inhibit the growth of Ca761 breast cancer in mice by controlling the cell cycle of the transplanted tumor. This may be related to its effect on the gene expressions of p53 and ras in the tumor tissue.
