Objective To evaluate the efficacy of the nasopharyngeal airway for airway management during anesthesia recovery in obese patients. Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients, aged 48-72 yr, body mass index > 30 kg/m~2 , were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=40 each) : nasopharyngeal airway group (group Ⅰ) and oropharyngeal airway group (group Ⅱ). The extubation was performed after recovery of breathing (RR ≥ 10 bpm, V_T≥5 ml/kg). The nasopharyngeal airway was inserted though the nasal cavity immediately after extnhation in group Ⅰ, and the oropharyngeal airway was inserted though the oral cavity after extubation in group Ⅱ. Oxygen (3 L/min) was then inhaled by mask until recovery of consciousness in both groups, and if SpO_2 < 90%, the rescue medication was given. The changes in RR, SpO_2 , HR, SP and DP were observed at 1 min (T_1), 5 min (T_2), 10 min (T_3) and 20 min (T_4) after insertion of the airway and complications were recorded in 20 min after insertion of the airway. Results The RR, SpO_2, HR, SP and DP were all maintained in the normal range after insertion of the airway in both groups. The RR,HR, SP and DP at T_(3,4) and incidence of resdessness, nausea and vomiting, and laryngospasm were significantly lower in group Ⅰ than in group Ⅱ (P<0.05), while there was no significant difference in SpO_2 at each time point between group Ⅰ and group Ⅱ(P>0.05). Conclusion The efficacy of the nasopharyngeal airway is similar to that of the oropharyngeal airway for the relief of the upper respiratory tract obstruction during anesthesia recovery in obese patients, but the stress response induced is lower and complications are fewer.

BACKGROUND: There are numerous inducers used in inducing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) differentiate into neuron-like cells, however, due to poisonous, most chemical inducers can not be used in human.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of ligustrazine on differentiation of rat BMMSCs into neuron-like cells in vitro, and to search for the optimal inductive concentration.METHODS: After SD rats were anesthetized, bone marrow was obtained from the femoral and tibial bones, centrifuged, and the supernatant was discarded. The extracted cells were cultured in L-DMEM supplemented with 15% fetal bovine serum. The expression of CD44 and CD45 of the 5~(th) passage of BMMSCs were identified by immunocytochemical technique. Serum-free L-DMEM medium contains 1.00, 1.25 and 1.50 g/L ligustrazine concentrations were used to induce the 5~(th) passage of BMMSCs in vitro. Morphology changes of BMMSCs were observed under an inverted phase microscope. Expression of nestin, neuron-specific enolase and glial fibrillary acidic protein were identified by immunocytochemical technique, and the expression ratio of neuron-like cells' surface antigens induced by different concentrations of ligustrazine were compared.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ①Most primarily cultured BMMSCs adhered to the wall at 3 days after culture, which proliferated faster after passaged, and the 5~(th) passage of cells were mostly purified into BMMSCs, spread radially or vortex-likely. ②The 5~(th) passage of BMMSCs was positive expressed (98.02±0.81)% CD44, but negative for CD45. ③Neuron-like cells with prominence and bifurcation could be seen after induction. The immunocytochemical method showed that nestin and neuron-specific enolase in most induced cells were positive expressed, especially received a highest ration of neuron-specific enolase expressing in the induced group with 1.25 g/L concentration of ligustrazine. It revealed that ligustrazine can induce BMMSCs differentiated into neuron-like cells, and 1.25 g/L is the optimal inductive concentration.

Objective To clone the gene encoding protein of EspA and Stx2B from EHEC OI57:H7 by DNA recombinant technology, construct prokaryotic expression vector pET-28a ( + )-espAstx2B, express fusion protein of EspA-Stx2B and to analyze the biological and immunological characteristics of the fusion protein. Methods the sequence encoding the protein of EspA and Stx2B was amplified by PCR from the enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli strain. The amplified products were connected with linker by recombinant technology and cloned into pET-28a( + ) vector. The vector was then transferred to the host cells E. Coli BL21 strain (DE3). Following, the protein expression was induced by IPTG. The expression quantities and style of fusion protein was then determined by SDS-PAGE. Its immunoreactivity was analyzed by Western blot. Finally, BALB/c mice were injected with the preliminarily purified recombination protein EspA-Stx2B, then oral challenged these mice with EHEC O157-SMR2 and counteracted toxic substances with O157 ultrasonic supernatant. Results The determination of the sequence encoding of the espA-stx2B fusion gene has 100% of consistency with the sequence from GenBank Sakai strain and contrivable linker. This fusion protein EspA-Stx2B was expressed as inclusion body formation and the percentage is approximately 40%. Western blot suggested the fusion protein has excellent immunoreactivity. Titer of antiserum of the mice to EspA-Stx2B increased evidently. EspA-Stx2B could not decrease bacterial number attached to the intestinal tract of mice based on fecal shedding of Oi57 in mice. In the test of death of BAI,B/c causing by conteracting toxic substances with O157 ultrasonic supernatant, immunoprotection of EspA-Stx2B rate was 66.7%. Conclusion A recombinant plasmid that has high performance on expression of EspA-Stx2B prorein was successfully constructed in present study, and the fusion protein has excellent immunoreactivity and immunogenicity. EspA-Stx2B could not decrease bacteria] number attached to the intestinal tract of mice based on fecal shedding of O157 in mice, but evidently decrease the mortality rate of the mice. The antiEspA and anti-Stx2B had immunoprotection effect by different means. These results may provide the foundation for the further development on EHEC O157:H7 double subunit vaccine.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of esomeprazole test in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease.Methods Consecutive patients with heartburn and/or acid regurgitation in three medical centers were enrolled in a prospective,randomized,double-blind study with a placebo-control design.After upper endoscopy examination,patients were divided into non-erosive reflux diseases and erosive esophagitis.All patients underwent 24-hour ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring.Those who were diagnosed as gastroesophageal reflux diseases had either esophagitis under endoscopy or abnormal esophageal acid exposure in 24-hour ambulatory esophageal pH monitoring.The patients were randomly divided into treatment group and control group.The patients in treatment group were received 40 mg of esomeprazole daily while the patients in control group were given placebo once daily for 14 days.The severity and frequency of heartburn were recorded both by doctors and patients before and during treatment.Results Two hundred and seventeen patients were completed the study(105 patients in treatment group and 112 patients in control group).If the symptom of heartburn which disappeared in the sixth and seventh day of the first week,it was defined as positive for esomeprazole test,the sensitivity and specificity in treatment group were 87.7% and 42.5%,respectively If the symptom of heartburn disap peared in the second week,it was defined as positive for esomeprazole test.The corresponding sensitivity and specificity in treatment group were 84.6% and 45%,respectively.The Youden index was 0.362 and 0.296 for criteria of one and two weeks,respectively.If the heartburn score improved by more than 50%,75% or 100% from the baseline score after treatment,it was defined as positive for esomeprazole test,the sensitivity and specificity were 95.4% and 32.5%,87.7% and 32.5%,84.6% and 45%,respectively.Conclusions The esomeprazole test has high value in diagnosis of GERD with sensitivity of 87.7% and specificity of 42.5%.Positive definition of heartburn disappeared in the sixth and seventh day is superior in cost-effective.

The changes of gas exchange were examined before ALI, during ALI and at 1,2,3,4 h after ALI, and histological sections taken from 8 different parts of lung were stained by H & E. RESULTS: The PaO_2 significantly increased and alveolar-aterial oxygen gradient (AaDO_2) markedly decreased in PLV group compare with CV group (P

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of non-invasive cardiac output parameters:cardiac index (CI) and minute distance (MD), in premature infants with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and determine the cut-off value. Methods Clinical data of 98 premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2015 to June 2015 were collected. These premature infants were divided into the treated PDA group (n=30),the untreated PDA group (n=28) and the normal premature group (n=40) based on the results of echocardiogram in the first three days after birth and the use of drugs. Non-invasive cardiac output parameters were measured in the first three days after birth. The data were analyzed by t test, analysis of variance and SNK-q test. The diagnostic value of CI and MD for PDA was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results By preliminary analysis of the ROC curve,CI and MD were the most representative parameters for the diagnosis of PDA which need to be treated clinically, we thus chose CI and MD in this study. The aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD in the treated PDA group were significantly higher than in the untreated PDA group and the normal premature group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the untreated PDA group and the normal premature group in the aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD (all P>0.05). The cut-off value of the aortic CI and MD was 2.95 L/(min·m2) and 21.50 m/min, respectively, while that of the pulmonary arterial CI and MD was 4.55 L/(min·m2) and 26.50 m/min, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined aortic CI and MD for the treated PDA group were 0.90 and 0.82, and those of combined pulmonary arterial CI and MD were 0.87 and 0.82;and those of combined aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD were 0.80 and 0.88, respectively. Conclusions The non-invasive cardiac output parameters CI and MD have good diagnostic value for the PDA needing clinical treatment, and the combined use of the two parameters can improve specificity, and help formulate the early treatment strategy for premature infants with PDA. When aortic CI was ≥ 2.95 L/(min·m2) and MD was ≥ 21.50 m/min, a preliminary diagnosis of the PDA needing clinical treatment, can be made, and simultaneously when the pulmonary arterial CI was ≥4.55 L/(min·m2) and MD was≥26.50 m/min, the arterial duct should be closed timely.
