70% . The patients were mechanically ventilated. VT was set at 10 ml? kg-1 and respiratory rate at 12 bpm. End-tidal PCO2 was maintained at 30-35 mm Hg. End-tidal PCO2, SpO2, ECG and BP were continuously monitored. The respiratory function and mechanics were measured using respiratory monitor CP-100 (BICORE) before and after pneumoperitoneum (intra-abdominal pressure reached 15 mm Hg) and 5,10,15,20,25,30,35 min after vecuronium. The respiratory parameters measured included inspiratory and expiratory VT ( VTi, VTe) , minute ventilation (VE), respiratory rate (RR), peak inspiratory and expiratory flow rate (PIFR,PEFR), PEEP, auto-PEEP, pressure-time product (PTP), inspiratory-time ratio (TI/TTOT ), rate/VT ratio, average airway pressure (PAWM), esophageal pressure (PES), peak inspiratory pressure (PIP), dynamic compliance (CDyn), airway resistance (RAw ) and work of breathing. Results There was no significant difference in the effect of different doses of vecuronium on respiratory function and mechanics including all parameters measured at all time points among the three groups. Mean airway pressure, esophageal pressure peak inspiratory pressure, airway resistance and work of breathing increased significantly but dynamic compliance decreased significantly after CO2 penumoperitoneum. Conclusion Intra-abdominal CO2 insufflation significantly attect respiratory mecnanics. me effect of pneumoperitoneum on respiratory mechanics can not be prevented or attenuated by increasing the dose of muscle relaxant.

Objective To introduce the Bernese periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach for the treatment of adult acetabular dysplasia. Methods From October 1997 to April 2001, 51 patients(53 hips) with acetabular dysplasia were operated upon with Bernese periacetabular osteotomies through ilioinguinal approach. The mean age of the patients at the time of surgery was 30.6 years(range, 13-48 years). Male∶female= 1∶10. Preoperatively, the average duration of the symptoms was 3.4 years(3 months to 15 years), the range of motion(ROM) of the hip was normal in most patients. Average CE angle was 1.1?(?15?-15?); the Tonnis osteoarthritis grade was Ⅰto Ⅱ. Fifty three percent of the hips had Shentons line broken. Results Twenty four hips had 12 to 38 months followed up. Most patients were pain free; the hip ROM remained normal. Harris hip score increased from 79.8(64-83) pre operatively to 93.8(75-100) post operatively. CE angle increased to 40?(20?to 60?). Shentons line broken rate decreased to 33%. The complications include: 1 femoral nerve damage, 1 bladder malfunction and 2 skin incision hernia. Conclusion The Bernese periacetabular osteotomy through ilioinguinal approach is a safe and efficient procedure for the treatment of adult acetabular dysplasia. The deformities could be easily corrected, the anatomic relations could be restored nicely, the pelvic ring and the abductor muscles are reserved. The post operative recovery is fast, and it is efficient to prevent the development of osteoarthritis of the hip joint.

AIM: To elucidate whether the mechanism that L-arginine can relieve hypoxia pulmonary hypertension involves inhibition of the activity of protein kinase C(PKC). METHODS: Twenty-one male Wistar rats were randomly divided into NS control, hypoxia and L-arginine(500 mg?kg -1 ?d -1 , ip) treatment groups. After two-weeks treatment, mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP), mean systematic artery pressure (mSAP) and the ratio of the weight of right ventricle to that of left ventricle plus septum were measured, then two pulmonary arterial rings were isolated to be exposed to PDBu(a specific activator of PKC ) and observed: (1) The maximal response (P 1) to 500 nmol/L PDBu, the time required to achieve a half-maximal response to 500 nmol/L PDBu (t 1/2 ), the time during which the maximal response to 500 nmol/L PDBu maintained (T) and the isometric responses at different times (2, 4, 8, 12, 20, 40, 60, 80 min). The isometric response was represented as the percentage of the maximal response (P 0) of the same arterial ring to 5?mol/L phenylephrine hydrochloride (P 0%). (2) Dose-response curve in response to PDBu (10-11 000 nmol/L) and the dose producing a half-maximal response in the curve (EC 50 ). RESULTS: mPAP, RV/(LV+S), P 1, T and the isometric responses at 2, 4, 8, 20 min of NS control and L-arginine treatment groups were lower than those of hypoxic group respectively (P

Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging features of cerebral autosomal recessive arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy(CARASIL).Methods Clinical data of a Chinese Mongolian patient with CARASIL were analyzed retrospectively and pedigree investigation was carried out in the family.Results The proband's parents were cousin and her brother was a patient with CARASIL too.The patients had onset at 25 and 23 years old,respectively.Clinical manifestations included cerebral stroke,progressive motor and mental deterioration,seizures,alopecia,and ocular fundus arteriosclerosis.No common risk factors of cerebral stroke were found in the family.Brain MRI showed bilateral diffuse cerebral white matter lesion with multiple infarcts and O'Sullivan sign.Cervical vertebral MRI showed multiple protrusion of intervertebral disc and significant retrogression.Conclusions CARASIL is clinically characterized by young-age-onset cerebral stroke,cerebral arteriosclerosis,alopecia,cervical and lumbar spondylopathy.MRI shows multiple cerebral infarcts,leukoencephalopathy and retrogression of intervertebral disc.

Among them, Thailand explored a set of national legislations to protect the intellectual property right about the traditional medicine knowledge, which is very instructive to the developing countries. On the basis of summing up the Thailand traditional medicine intellectual property protection policy, the thesis proposed ideas on the protection of the traditional medicine in China.

AIM: To explore the effects of levcromakalim(Lev) on pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAEC) and smooth muscle cells (PASMC) exposed to hypoxia and the mechanisms involved. METHODS: The effects of Lev on i, and expression of PKC ?, eNOS, iNOS and PDGF-B mRNA and protein levels were observed. The nitrite (NO- 2) and entothelin-1(ET-1) concentrations in supernatant in cultured PAEC and PASMC were measured. The proliferation and apoptosis of PASMC was also detected. RESULTS: When PASMC were exposed to hypoxia, Lev reduced concentration of ET-1 in cultured cell supernatant, lowed the expression of PKC ?, iNOS and PDGF-B both at mRNA and protein levels, decreased i concentration, increased proliferation and promoted the apoptosis in PASMC. However, in the presence of Lev, the i concentration was not changed in the hypoxic PAEC. The NO- 2 concentration in cultured cell supernant and expression of eNOS at mRNA and protein levels in hypoxic PASMC and PAEC were also unchanged. The downregulated ET-1 activity in PASMC and PAEC and proliferation in PASMC involved in the inhibition of PKC ? signaling pathway. CONCLUSIONS: Lev reduce some disadvatage effect of hypoxia on PASMC and PAEC. The mechanism of Lev action may partly involve in the downregulation of PKC ? signaling functions.
