Objective To evaluate the influence of sevoflurane anesthesia on the expression of growth-associated protein 43 (GAP-43) and neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) in hippocampal neurons of neonatal rats.Methods Thirty-six pathogen-free Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 7 weeks,weighing 15-20 g,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =9 each) using a random number table:control group (C group),1.5% sevoflurane 6 h group (L group),3% sevoflurane 2 h group (H1 group) and 3% sevoflurane 6 h group (H2 group).Group L inhaled 1.5% sevoflurane in oxygen for 6 h.H1 and H2 groups inhaled 3% sevoflurane in oxygen for 2 and 6 h,respectively.Group C inhaled 30% oxygcn only.When the neonatal rats were 14 days old,the rats underwent Morris water maze test for 7 consecutive days.Place navigation and spatial probe tests were carried out.After the end of Morris water maze test,the rats were sacrificed,and the hippocampus was obtained for determination of the expression of GAP-43 and NCAM in hippocampal neurons.Results Compared with group C,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the time of staying at the original platform quadrant was shortened,and the expression of GAP-43 was down-regulated in L,H1 and H2 groups,and the frequency of crossing the original platform was decreased in L and H2 groups.There was no significant difference in NCAM expression among the four groups.Conclusion The mechanism by which sevoflurane anesthesia decreases the cognitive function may be related to down-regulated expression of GAP-43,but not related to NCAM expression in hippocampal neurons of neonatal rats.

BACKGROUND:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection is a popular postoperative analgesia method and can effectively control postoperative pain and relieve side effects after total hip arthroplasty.
OBJECTIVE:To compare and assess the effectiveness and safety of intraarticular analgesic injection or intravenous injection of parecoxib after total hip arthroplasty.
METHODS:A total of 60 patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty were randomly assigned to:treatment group (intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection with morphine, bupivacaine, and compound betamethasone), and control group (intravenous injection of parecoxib). Al patients received tramadol hydrochloride at 24 hours after replacement. Analgesic consumption, visual analog scale at rest and during activity, range of motion, and postoperative complication of patients in each group were recorded.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection significantly reduced analgesic consumption. When comparing visual analog scale scores, rest pain scores were significantly less in the treatment group at 12, 24 and 48 hours after replacement than that in the control group (P<0.05). Scores on range of motion were significantly less in the treatment group at 24 and 36 hours than that in the control group (P<0.05). No significant differences in total complications were detectable between the treatment and control groups (P>0.05). Results suggested that intraarticular cocktail analgesic injection lessened analgesic consumption after replacement, relieved early pain after replacement, and contributed to early rehabilitation of patients. Moreover, no significant adverse reactions were visible.

Objective:To investigate the effect of doctor-nurse-patient collaborative nursing mode on long-term self-management ability and cardiovascular events of patients after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:Totally 160 patients who received PCI from the department of cardiology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College were randomly assigned to control group ( n=80) and experimental group ( n=80). The traditional nursing model was adopted in the control group. However, the nursing mode of doctor-nurse-patient collaborative was adopted in experimental group. The self-management ability and cardiovascular events in patients after PCI at 6 months and 12 months in two groups were both measured by chronic disease management software, self-behavioral management scale, Minnesota Living Scale, self-made medical care work assessment scale and self-made satisfaction questionnaire. Results:The rates of adverse habits management, symptom management, emotional cognition, emergency management, disease knowledge management, general life management, and therapy compliance management in the experimental groups, 6 months after operation, were 96.3%(77/80), 73.8%(59/80), 80.0%(64/80), 91.3%(73/80), 85.0%(68/80), 81.3%(65/80), respectively. In the control group, the above indexes were 85.0%(68/80), 56.3%(45/80), 62.5%(50/80), 75%(60/80), 75%(60/80), 65%(52/80). The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ 2 value was 5.375-7.530, P<0.05). In the experimental group, 12 months after PCI, the rates of the above indexes were 91.3%(73/80), 78.8%(63/80), 82.5%(66/80), 93.8% (75/80), 87.5%(70/80), 86.3%(69/80), 93.8%(75/80). While, the ratios in the control group were 77.5%(62/80), 52.5%(42/80), 66.3%(53/80), 78.8%(63/80), 66.3%(53/80), 65.0%(52/80), 75.0%(60/80), there was significantly difference between two groups ( χ 2 value was 5.542-12.218, P<0.05). Furthermore, there were 12 and 38 cases of cardiovascular events at 6 months and 12 months after operation, and 28 and 60 cases in the control group, respectively. Meanwhile, the number of re-hospitalizations events in experimental group were 13, and 27 in the control group, after 12 months operation, there was significantly difference between two groups( χ 2 value was 8.533,12.745, 6.533, P<0.05). The quality of life scores and medical work quality score in the experimental group in different months were 31.26±8.39 (6 months), 26.39±4.76 (12 months), 77.44±8.21 (6 months) and 71.50±5.73(12 months), respectively. However, the scores in the control group were 40.51±8.38, 35.39±4.89, 65.90±5.62, 63.55±5.62, there was significant difference between two groups ( t value was -10.373-11.804, P<0.01). And the overall satisfaction of patients in the experimental group [96.3%(77/80)] was significantly higher than the control group [85.0% (68/80)]. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant ( χ 2 value was 5.959, P<0.05). Conclusion:The doctor-nurse-patient collaborative nursing mode can improve the long-term self-management ability, reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events and the number of re-hospitalizations in patients after PCI, and improve the quality of life and satisfaction of patients.

Objective:To evaluate the precision of quantitative CT (QCT) in measuring fat content of goose liver and to explore the influence of tube voltage on liver fat measurement.Methods:From January to March 2017, 22 Landes geese were selected to establish fatty liver models with overfeeding. The QCT was performed under 2 different tube voltages, 80 and 120 kV. In addition to the voltage, the other scanning parameters were the same. Three ROI were placed in the centre part of the left lobe, upper and lower half of the right lobe on the 3D reconstructed images. The volume percentage of goose liver fat (Fat% QCT) was calculated according to the formula provided by Mindways. Immediately after the QCT examinations, each goose was dissected, and the whole liver was removed. Then samples were taken in the corresponding areas of the ROI by QCT. The fat (triglyceride) content of the samples was measured by the biochemical extraction method. The Spearman correlation tests were used to determine the correlation between the QCT measurements of 80 kV and 120 kV groups and the results of biochemical extraction method. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test was performed to compare Fat% QCT between 80 kV and 120 kV groups. Bland-Altman plots were used to assess agreement between the two groups′ measurements. Results:The Fat% QCT of both 80 kV and 120 kV group positively correlated highly with biochemical extraction ( r s=0.936, P<0.001, r s=0.927, P<0.001) respectively. No statistically significant difference of Fat% QCT was detected between 80 kV and 120 kV group ( Z=-0.141, P=0.888). Bland-Altman analysis showed a small difference of Fat% QCT between the 80 kV and 120 kV group, in which mean values were 0.20%. Conclusions:Using biochemical extracted triglyceride as the reference, under the conditions of low-dose 80 kV and standard 120 kV tube voltages, QCT measurement of fat content is accurate and reliable in goose liver.

Objective To evaluate the differences of α-fetoprotein (AFP), ffeeβ-human chorionic gnnadotropin (HCG) indexes in 3 foreign median databases for antepartum risk screening, and establish the median databases of normal pregnant women in Wenzhou for antepartum screening of AFP, free-β-HCG indexes through the suitable median computational models. Methods The levels of AFP and free β-HCG of 20054 normal pregnant women in Wenzhou were detected by time-resolved fluorometry. The data in this paper were compared with the data of 2T-risk ( 2T), Lifecycle-2. 2 (LC2.2 ) and Lifecycle -3.0 (LC3.0) by double-factor ANOVA. The differences between the data in the paper and the data from Shenyang and Ningbo were analyzed. The median database of Wenzhou pregnant women was established by the suitable regression model, with the stability of nonlinear regression models of the 3 software assessed by model correcting fitting, distribution mean of model fitting logarithmic and standard deviation. Results The levels of AFP and freeβ- hCG reported here were 10% and 16% higher than the data of 2T-risk, 15% and 20% higher than that of LC 2. 2, 6% and 17% higher than that of LC 3.0 respectively. The differences were statistically significant. ( FAFP = 161. 757 ,P < 0. 01 ; Ffree-β-HCG = 58. 261, P < 0.01 ). The levels of AFP and free β- hCG in Wenzhou were 2% higher and 3% lower than that of Shenyang, 1% and 2% higher than that of Ningbo. There was no statistical difference of AFP levels among Wenzhou , Shenyang and Ningbo( FAFP = 0. 174 ,P =0. 840) while the differences of free-β-hCG were statistically significant( F<,free-β-HCG> = 13.303 ,P < 0. 01 ). The differences of quadratic equation regression model, exponent quadratic function regression model and exponent quadru-function regression model of 2T, LC-2. 2 and LC-3.0 were not remarkable. The exponent quadru-function regression model was the best. Conclusions There are significant differences between the data from Wenzhou, Shenyang and Ningbo and the data of T-2 risk, LC-2. 2, LC -3.0. The discrepancy is due to the ethnic and different parameters of regression models. So the model parameters and the median databases are urgently required in China. The differences of large sample size of AFP from Wenzhow, Shengyang and Ningbo are not significant, while the differences of free-β- hCG from Wenzhow, Shengyang and Ningbo is remained because of its instability. The levels from Wenzhow and Ningbo are near. It is suggested that the laboratories with small sample size can establish their own laboratory parameters using the reference obtained from large sample size under the same experimental conditions. There are no significant differences of stability among regression computational models in the 3 software. The exponent quadru-function regression model can be used to establish the median databases for the screening with the similar data distribution in the paper.
