Objective To investigate the efficacy of ultrasound?guided iliohypogastric∕ilioinguinal nerve block and transversus abdominis plane block for analgesia after cesarean section. Methods Ninety parturients, aged 20-40 yr, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective cesarean section, were divided into 3 groups ( n=30 each) using a random number table:con?trol group (group C), ultrasound?guided iliohypogastric∕ilioinguinal nerve block group (group IH∕II) and ultrasound?guided transversus abdominis plane block group (group TAP). In IH∕II and TAP groups, bilat?eral ultrasound?guided iliohypogastric∕ilioinguinal nerve block and transversus abdominis plane block were performed after surgery, respectively, with 0.5% ropivacaine 1.5 mg∕kg ( the maximal dose 100 mg) plus dexamethasone 5 mg for each side. All the patients received patient?controlled intravenous analgesia with morphine after surgery, and numeric rating scales scores at rest and during movement were maintained<4 within the 48 h after surgery. The cumulative consumption of morphine was recorded at 6, 12, 24, 36 and 48 h after surgery. The occurrence of adverse reactions such as nausea, vomiting, pruritus, over?sedation and respiratory depression was observed and recorded in the analgesic period. Results Compared with group C, the cumulative consumption of morphine was significantly decreased at each time point in IH∕II and TAP groups ( P<0.01) . Compared with group IH∕II, no significant change was found in the cumulative consumption of morphine at 6 and 12 h after surgery, and the cumulative consumption of morphine was sig?nificantly increased at 24, 36 and 48 h after surgery in group TAP ( P<0.05) . No nausea, vomiting, pru?
ritus, over?sedation and respiratory depression was found in IH∕II and TAP groups. Conclusion For par?turients, ultrasound?guided iliohypogastric∕ilioinguinal nerve block and transversus abdominis plane block both can provide analgesic efficacy after cesarean section, and the efficacy of the former one is better.

Objective To analyze the clinical manifestations of early cerebral ischemic lesions after stenting with WingSpan system for symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis, and to evaluate the early effects and safety of the stenting therapy. Methods Twenty-nine consecutive patients with symptomatic intracranial stenosis underwent diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) before and after stenting (within 72 hours). The clinical data, including patients' general condition, stenting procedures and newly-developed cerebral ischemic lesions, were recorded. Neurological defect was estimated with NIHSS, the safety and early outcome of stenting were evaluated. Results The degree of stenosis was reduced from a mean baseline of (72.3 ± 10.7)% to (31.9 ± 13.6)% immediately after stenting. The technical success rate was 100%. The total eomplicatiom nate was 17.2%. And among them, z were symptomatic (6.9%). Sixty-three ischemic lesions were demonstrated on DWI in 13 patients (44.8%). Among them, 11 (84.6%) were asymptomatic. Fifty-five newly-developed lesions on DWI (87.3%) were located in the region of stented vessels and 3.2% were situated in the region of branch vessels of stented artery. Conclusion DWI is of great value in assessing the safety of intracranial stenting procedures. The treatment of symptomatic intracranial artery stenosis by using WingSpan system is safe and effective. Newly-developed ischemic lesions can be well detected on DWI and should receive physician's attention, although most ischemic lesions are asymptomatic. Long-term outcome of this treatment needs to be further observed.

Objective To investigate the expression of Notch 1 receptor in renal tissues of patients with hepatitis B virus associated-glomerulonephritis (HBV-GN) and its role in the pathogenesis of HBV-GN.Methods A total of 48 patients with HBV-GN confirmed by renal biopsy during 2008-2010 were enrolled in the study.Distribution of Notch1 receptor in renal tissue of HBV-GN was detected by immunohistochemistry and the association between the distribution of Notch1 receptor and HBsAg was examined by double-label immunofluorescence assays.Correlations of Notch1 receptor expression with renal pathology and clinical parameters of HBV-GN were analyzed.Results Notch1 receptor distributed mainly in renal tubular epithelial cells and interstitial area as brownish red granules,and a few expression in glomerulus was also found.The positive score of Notch1 receptor expression in HBV-GN patients was significantly higher as compared to primary glomerulonephritis patients with serum HBsAg positive or negative and normal renal tissue controls.Notch1 receptor expression was more obvious in membrano-proliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) and mesangial proliferative nephritis (MsPGN) patients,but there was no significant difference among the different pathology groups.Distribution of Notch1 receptor was consistent with the distribution of HBsAg and its intensity was positively correlated with renal interstitial fibrosis (r=0.473,P=0.001),tubular atrophy (r=0.690,P=0.000),inflammatory cell infiltration (r=0.616,P=0.000).Negative correlation was found between renal function and the intensity of Notch1 receptor (r=-0.393,P=0.006).Conclusions Notch1 receptor expression increases in the renal tissues of HBV-GN patients and distributes mainly in renal tubular epithelial cells and interstitium,which is consistent with the distribution of HBsAg.Its intensity is closely correlated with renal interstitial lesions and renal function.Abnormal expression of Notchl receptor in renal tissue of HBV-GN may be involved in the progress of HBV-GN.

Lymphocyte function associated antigen-1 (LFA-1) is a member of integrin family, that plays an important role in the adhesion of lymphocytes with other cells and matrix. To investigate the role of LFA-1 in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA), the incidence of CIA, histological and radiological assessments in the LFA-1 deficient (LFA-1~ -/- ) mice and control mice were examined. LFA-1~ -/- mice and control mice were immunized with 100?g collagen type II(CII) emulsified with an equal volume of Freund’s complete adjuvant (CFA), followed by the booster injection of the same amount of CII in CFA on day 21. Then, clinical, histological and radiological assessments were done. It showed that 57% control mice developed arthritis and apparently changed in the histological and radiological assessment, whereas the all of LFA-1~ -/- mice had the normal histological and radiographic response and none developed arthritis. These results suggeste that LFA-1 is indispensable for the onset of CIA.
