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 introduce a new bilateral triceps brachii approach for the treatment of intercondylar fractures of the humerus, and explore the possibility for the operation without injuring the mechanism of extension of the elbow. Methods With fresh cadaver specimens, the triceps brachii was stripped off from the distal end of the humerus, the muscle belly was elevated and retracted bilaterally, then the height was recorded, and the exposure of the distal humerus was observed, especially to the trochlear region when the elbow were flexed at 15? , 30? , 45? , 60? , 80? respectively. Results Through the cadaver specimen observation and the clinical application, the reduction and fixation of the intercondylar fractures of humerus should be performed when the elbow is flexed at 45?- 60?, at 15?- 30? flexion, fracture over the supracondylar can be treated and finally at 80? flexion, the reduction of the trochlear region can be examined. Conclusion This bilateral approach through the triceps brachii is suitable for the treatment both of the intercondylar and epicondylar fractures.

Objective The olecranon is likely to become shorter following the treatment of its comminuted fractures, which will lead to the compromise of the function of elbow joint. So through the cadaver experiment, introduce the method of making different thickness and direction in osteotomy so as to intimate the shape change of the olecranon after the comminuted fractures, and explore its effect on the flexion-extension function of the elbow joint. Methods Through three cadaver(six arms), osteotomy at 25 mm below the olecranon process was made horizontally and fixed with two screws temporarily, furthermore, the bone fragment of 1 mm, 3 mm and 5 mm in length was resected in order, then specimens were divided into two groups: In the first group, osteotomy was made up to 7 mm and 8 mm continually, and the changes of the range of the elbow joint movement were measured; in the second group, the additional wedge osteotomy of 5 mm and 7 mm was performed respectively, then the outcomes between the two groups were compared. Results If the osteotomized bone was within 3 mm, shortening internal fixation was satisfactory for the reconstruction of the elbow joint function. However, in cases of osteotomized bone of 5 mm, the extension function would be limited as the loss of the trochlear notch is too much. In order to keep the normal range motion of the elbow, the dorsal cortex distal to osteotomy should be scarified about 3 mm for the wedge osteotomy. When the shortage attained to 7 mm, the elbow instability would occur, even if advanced wedge osteotomy was accomplished. Conclusion In cases of the comminuted olecranon fractures, if the osteotomy is made within 3 mm, the shortening fixation is appropriate; if it has not exceeded 5 mm, the fracture should be treated with advanced wedge osteotomy tilting back to keep the radian of the trochlea; and if it has reached 7 mm, bone grafting is necessary for recovering of the flexion-extension of the elbow joint.

Methods In 2008, five villages(offices) were selected according to the east, west, south,north and center position in each county in 6 counties(cities, districts) of Lingbao, Shan, Hubin, Yima, Mianchi,and Lushi in Sanmenxia city. One primary school was selected in each village(office), fifty students aged 8 - 10 in each primary school were randomly selected to check thyroid and their urine and edible salt were collected to detect iodine. Thirty 5th-grade students in each school were selected to carry out the questionnaire survey of health education about iodine deficiency disorders. According to the east, west, south, north and center position, five potable water samples were selected to detect iodine in the village where the primary school was in. Questionnaire survey was also carried out among ten housewives in the village. Thyroid was examined by palpation;ammonium persulfate digestion-arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry(WS/T 107-2006) was used to detect urinary iodine;direct titration(GB/T 13025-1999 ) was used to detect salt iodine;arsenic cerium catalytic spectrophotometry (GB/T 5750.5-2006) was used to detect water iodine. Results One thousand and five hundreds children aged 8 - 10 were analyzed in 6 counties(cities, districts), the rate of goiter was 3.30%(50/1500), the median of urinary iodine was 273.15 μg/L. One thousand and five hundreds salt samples were detected, the coverage rate of iodized salt was 99.93% (1499/1500), the qualified rate of iodized salt was 98.00% (1469/1499), the edible rate of qualified iodized salt was 97.93% (1469/1500), the coverage rate of non-iodized salt was 0.07% (1/1500), the median of salt iodine was 28.9 mg/kg. One hundred and fifty water samples were collected, the median of water iodine was 2.76 μg/L. The pass rate of the questionnaire survey of health education about iodine deficiency disorders was 97.11% (874/900) in students and 98.67% (296/300) in housewives, respectively. Conclusions The prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders has achieved significant results and the monitoring indicators have reached the national standard for eliminating iodine deficiency disorders in Sanmenxia city.

BACKGROUND:Coenzyme Q10 participates in the electron transport of respiratory chain and possesses antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. It has achieved good outcomes in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Coenzyme Q10 may also have a certain application value in the fields of diabetes and periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of coenzyme Q10 on the expression of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis.METHODS:Forty-eight healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, periodontitis+ diabetes+physiological saline and periodontitis+diabetes+coenzyme Q10. Rats in the control group were fed with normal diet and water. Rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline and periodontitis+diabetes+ coenzyme Q10 groups were subjected to induction of periodontitis using the method of silk ligation and type 2 diabetes by feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. After successful modeling, rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+coenzyme Q10 group were intragastricaly administered coenzyme Q10 for 8 successive weeks. Rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline group were administered equal amount of physiological saline. At the end of 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks after drug administration, four rats were randomly selected and sacrificed. The expression levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the end of 8th week, interleukin-17- and interleukin-23-positive expression in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline group was significantly higher than that in the periodontitis+ diabetes+coenzyme Q10 group (P < 0.05). Coenzyme Q10 can reduce the expression levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis, and aleviate periodontal tissue inflammation of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis.

Objective To observe the effect of midazolam plus propofol administered for colonoscopy on cognitive function in middle-aged and aged patients. Methods One hundred and thirty six patients, ASA I and II, aged 40~75 years and undergoing colonoscopy were randomized to propofol group (group P, n=68) and propofol plus midazolam group (group PM, n=68). Baseline cognitive function was measured using Mini mental state exami-nation (MMSE) before anesthesia and the cognitive testing was repeated 10 minutes after emerging from anesthesia. BP, HR, SpO2, analgesic effect and sedative drug doses in both groups were recorded. Procedure time, recovery time and Rasmay sedation score were both recorded. Results Recovery time was significantly longer in group PM than that in group P (P<0.05). The total dose of propofol was significantly smaller in group PM than that in group P (P<0.05). MMSE score of both groups decreased, but the incidence of cognitive decline and the level of cognition in group PM were more notable than those of group P (P<0.05). Conclusions Midazolam plus propofol and propo-fol alone administered for colonoscopy could both increase the incidence of cognitive decline, and the effect of the former is more notable, but midazolam added to propofol could reduce the dosage of propofol.
