Objective To compare medical students' learning curve between Macintosh laryngoscope and optical laryngoscope in endotracheal intubation and to decide which one is more suitable for novice personnel.Methods Totally 26 interns after being trained by experienced anesthesiologists were enrolled in this study.They performed intubation on 6 patients by using both Macintosh laryngoscope and optical laryngoscope ( each laryngoscope for 3 patients) under the supervision of experienced anesthesiologists.The sequence of laryngoscope was determined by computer-generated random number list.Results Totally 149 patients who were ready to receive surgery under general anesthesia were enrolled in this randomized crossover controlled study.Duration of intubation was significantly shorter in Airtraq group (78 -± 33 ) s than in Macintosh group (114 ± 32) s,P ＜ 0.001.Intubation success rate was significantly higher in Airtraq group than in Macintosh group ( 87.8％ vs.66.7％,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions With the advantages of rapid learning curve,higher intubation success rate and shorter intubation duration,Airtraq laryngoscope is easier to master for novice personnel.

Objective To study the effectiveness of microwave ablation in treating HCC.Methods A total of 98 nodules in 56 cases of HCC were treated via appropriate puncture approach ac-cording to the volume, amount and site of tumor nodules. Results Only 1 patient failed to finish treatment since he could not suffer the pain. The other 55 patients finished without a hitch. Clinical and imaging findings were analyzed for change of physiology. Conclusion The microwave ablation is effective for the treatment of HCC. Such therapy can be important supplement of direct surgical man-agement. Its effect mainly depends on accurate puncture approach and enough diametric range. Mean-while, reasonable puncturing method should be selected.

Objective To compare the effects of flurbiprofen axetil and fentanyl of postoperative analgesia on T-lymphocytes subtypes in patients undergoing esophagectomy.Methods Forty patients undergoing esophagectomy were randomly divided into two groups(20 cases each):group C (group fentanyl) was given fentanyl 20μg/kg plus tropisetron 5 mg diluted to 100 ml via PCIA after surgery,group F (group flurbiprofen-fentanyl) was administrated flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg at 30 min before the end of surgery,fentanyl 10μg/kg and flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg plus tropisetron 5 mg diluted 100 ml was administrated via PCIA after surgery.The PCIA rate was 2 ml/h,bolus 0.5ml,lock time 15 min.The VAS score was recorded at 12,24,48 h after surgery.Blood samples 2 ml were obtained from peripheral vein for determination of CD3+,CD4+,CD8+ and CD4+/CD8+ at 30 min before surgery(T0),24 h(T1)and 72 h(T2)after surgery.Results Patients in two groups did not show any significant difference in the VAS scores(P＞0.05).At T1 CD3+,CD4+ T-lymphoeytes were significantly lower than those at T0 in two groups(P＜0.05).At T2,CD3+,CD4+ T-lymphocytes in group F were significantly higher than those in group C(P＜0.05).In group C,CD3+,CD4+ T-lymphocytes at T2 were significantly decreased than those at T0(P＜0.05).CD8+ T-lymphocytes Was no significantly changed in two groups and at each time point determined (P＞0.05).Conclusion Postoperative analgesia by using flurbiprofen axetil and fentanyl can diminish the using dose of postoperative opioid drug,and it can'improve patient's cellular immune function.

Objective:To identify the tannin-related constituents in the extracts of pomegranate peel by HPLC-ESI-MS. Methods:The separation was performed on a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm,5 μm) with the mobile phase of water and acetonitrile. The flow rate was maintained at 1. 0 ml·min-1 and the detection wavelength was set at 256nm. The samples were analyzed in negative modes. Results:Five tannin-related constituents including gallic acid, punicalin,punicalagin,corilagin and ellagic acid were identified from the extracts of pomegranate peel. Conclusion:The new method is accurate and rapid. It can be used to identify the tannin-related constituents in pomegranate peel and provide new ideas for the research of active components in traditional Chinese medicine as well.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of propofor on ATP-sensitive K~+currents(I_KATP)in human atrial myocytes and the underlying mechsnism.Methods A small piece of myocardiumwas obtained from right atrium in patients undergoing atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect surgery.Themyocardium specimen was placed in cold Ca~(2+)-free cardioplegic solution aerated with 100% oxygen.Themyocardium specimen was cut into small chunks(1 mm~3).Atrial myocytes were isolated by enzymatic dissociationtechnique.The effects of propofol on I_KATP in atrial myocytes were studied using the whole-cell configuration ofpatch-clamp technique.Results The outward currents were recorded with a pipitte solution containing 0.3mmol?L~(-1) ATP.The currents were inhibited by glibendamide 10 ?mol?L~(-1),a specific K_ATP channel inhibitor,suggesting that the outward currents were I_KATP.I_KATP aws activited by propofol in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Propefol can activate the I_KATP in human myocytes in a concentration-dependent manner and themechanism of its myocardial depressant action may be partly explained.

Objective To investigate the clinical application of laparoscopic adrenalectomy and summarize the experience in laparoscopie adrenalectomy.Methods From August 2002 to March 2007,21 cases of benign adrenal tumors were treated with retroperitoneal laparoscopy in this hospital.There were 9 cases of adrenocortical adenoma, 7 cases of primary aldosteronism,3 cases of adenocorticol macronodular hyperplasia,1 case of pheochromccytoma,and 1 case of adrenal gangliocytoma.Results Retroperitoneal laparoscopy was successfully applied in 21 cases.Operating time was between 65 and 130min with an average of 95 min.All patients did not receive blood transfusion and had no obvious complications.Conclusion Laparoscopic adrenalectomy had the advantages of minimal morbidity,mini- mal postoperative discomfort and a short hospital stay,whieh had a good prospect for application in the clinical prac- tice.

Objective To investigate factors influencing islet isolation and purification in dogs and to explore how to obtain massive purified viable islets from canine pancreas.To provide experimental evidence for pancreatic islet transplantation in clinical practice.Methods Islets were isolated from pancreas of 22 dogs by modified automated techniques,followed by purification using continuous density gradients.The purity of islets was determined by dithizone (DTZ) staining,and the function of islets was evaluated by glucose stimulating insulin release test.Results The crude islets yield was ( 155 040 ±310) IEQ/pancreas while the yield was (74 200 ±185) IEQ/pancreas after purification.The average purity was (89.4 ±2.6) ％.The recovery rate was(47.8 ±1.3) ％.Islet viability was(93.0 ± 1.7)％.The modified techniques improved both the yield and the quality in islet isolation and purification.The islets were morphologically intact after purification.Glucose stimulating insulin release test showed that the difference of the secreted insulin concentration had statistical significance ( P ＜0.001 ) between low concentration glucose group and high concentration glucose group.Conclusion It is of great value for clinical research to obtain enough islets through islet isolation and purification in dogs.

Objective To investigate the role of NF-?B signal pathway in the stress of a rat acute colitis model. Methods Acute colitis were induced by 6% intracolonic acetic acid lavation in rats; the spinal I-?B levels were measured by Western blot at L5-S1 and C2-4 levels; the spinal COX-2 mRNA levels were measured by RT-PCR at the same segments; the expressions of spinal COX-2 were also measured by immunohistochemistry. Results There were obvious regional inflammatory responses after intracolonic acetic acid lavation in rats; the extent of inflammation was gradually aggravated with time.The expressions of spinal I-?B at L5-S1 level significantly increased after 0. 5 h in acute colitis group. Expressions of experimental group were significantly higher than that of sham group at half an hour(P

Object To optimize the best extraction of the total saponins in the root of Ophiopogon japonicus (Thunb.) Ker-Gawl. (RO). Methods The extract condition of total saponins in RO was observed by orthogonal design with ophiopogonis D as index. Results The optimum extract condition of RO was established. The more effective way was to smash RO to 5-10 mesh and extract total saponins in RO with ten times amount of 80% alcohol thrice by refluxing, one hour each time. Conclusion The total saponins in RO could be fully extracted in this condition.
