Objective To obeserve the effects of acute hypervolemic hemodilution(AHH) with hypertonic .sodium chloride hydroxyethyl starch 40(HSH 40) on hemodynamics and fluid balance in patients under general anesthesia.Methods Fifty patients undergoing radical surgery for gastral cancer under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 groups with 25 patients each.Acute hypervolemic bemodilution (AHH) was performed with HSH 40 6 ml/kg in group A or with hydroxyethyl statch(HES) 6 ml/kg in group,which was infused within 30 minuts.HR,MAP,CVP were recorded before(T_0),at 30 min (T_1),60 min (T_2) after infusionand and the end of operation (T_3).The amounts of bleeding,HSH 40 and HES and urine output were recorded as well.Results There were no significant diferences in HR and MAP between two groups at all time points.CVP was sighificantly higher at T_1-T_3 than that at To in two groups.The urine output was more in groups A than that in group B(P<0.05).Conclusion AHH with HSH 40 can effectively expand blood vlume and increase urine output in surgical patients under general anesthesia.

As the indexes of reflecting whole blood coagulation and fibrinolytic capacity, thrombelas-tography are being increasingly used in the fields of guiding intraoperative blood transfusion, hypercoagulable state monitoring and correction, treatment of trauma patients, and clotting mechanism research. This article reviews the clinical application value and limitation of thrombelastography in patients with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

The transfection efficiency of oligonucleotide and plasmid to the HL-60 cell line with lipofectaminePLUS was compared through observing the transfection rate and the expression duration of exogenous gene in the target cells. The results showed that the transfection rate of oligonucleotide to the HL-60 was about 90% - 95% and it had no obvious attenuation within 84 h. However, the plasmid transfection rate was only 5% -25% and it was decreased significantly within 60 h. It was suggested that the transfection of oligonucleotide with liposomes was better than that of plasmid.

This study developed a novel approach of targeting malignant glioma with pMAGE-A1(278-286)-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) induced from the peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy donors by multiple stimulations with human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A2-restricted pMAGE-A1(278-286) peptide-pulsed dentritic cells. Cytotoxic assays were performed by the colorimetric CytoTox 96 assay to analyze cytotoxic activity of the induced CTLs against various target cells. The induced CTLs showed approximately 45% specific lysis against T2pMAGE-A1(278-286) (pMAGE-A1(278-286) peptide pulsed T2 cells) and U251 (HLA-A2(+), MAGE-A1(+)) at an effector:target ratio of 40:1, and approximately 5% cytolysis against T2pHIV, A172 (HLA-A2(-), MAGE-A1(+)), K562 and T2 cells without being pulsed with peptide at any effector:target ratio. The specific killing activity of the induced CTLs against T2pMAGE-A1(278-286) and U251 was much more obvious than in any other control group (P<0.05). The cytotoxic activity against the T2pMAGE-A1(278-286) and U251 was significantly eliminated by anti-HLA class I mAb W6/32. These results suggest that pMAGE-A1(278-286) epitope may serve as a surrogate tumor antigen target of specific immunotherapy for treating HLA-A2 patients with malignant glioma.

Background Small incision cataract surgery combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation remains a popular way for cataract.However,some factors affect the postsurgical visual outcomes and lower the patients' satisfaction,including intraoperative and postoperative complications as well as corneal refractive and thickness changes.Objective This study was to evaluate the influence of corneal refractive and thickness changes on visual fluctuation after 2.6 mm temporal incision surgery for cataract.Methods A series cases-observational study was designed.Twenty-nine eyes of 25 age-related cataract patients received 2.6 mm temporal transparent incision phacoemulsification and IOL implantation from November,2011 through April,2012 in Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University under the informed consent.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),best corrected visual acuity (BCVA),automatic and subjective refraction were examined,and the central corneal thickness (CCT) and corneal vector astigmatism were measured using Pentacam analysis system before and after operation.The examination outcomes were compared among different time points,and the influencing factors of UCVA or BCVA were analyzed.Results The mean UCVA (LogMAR) was 0.52±0.06 in 1 day and 0.64±0.07 in 2 months after surgery,with a significant difference between them (t=-3.051,P＜0.05).The mean BCVA (LogMAR) was 0.24±0.04 and 0.13± 0.04 in postoperative 1 day and 2 months,showing a significant difference between them (t =-3.031,P＜0.05).Spherical equivalents (SE) were (-1.74±0.28) D,(-1.99±0.27) D and (-1.69±0.24) D in postoperative 1 day,14 days and 60 days,respectively,with a significant difference among the 3 time points (F =3.562,P =0.039),and significant difference also was found between postoperative 1 day and 14 days (t =2.515,P＜0.05) or between postoperative 14 days and 60 days (t =-2.987,P ＜ 0.05).The preoperative J0 value was (0.06 ± 0.06) D,and postoperative J0 value was (0.29±0.08) D on the first day,which was significant higher than that in preoperation (t =-4.625,P＜0.01).In addition,J0 value showed a significant difference between postoperative 1 day and 14 days (t=-7.858,P＜0.01) as well as between postoperative 14 days and 2 months ([0.38±0.07] D versus [0.27±0.07] D,t=-5.649,P＜0.01).The mean CCT was (547.1±25.3) μm,(599.4±56.9) μm,(557.0±27.1) μm and (551.0 ± 25.9) μm before and 1 day,14 and 60 days after operation,with significant differences among the various time points (F =9.792,P ＜ 0.001),and significant differences also were seen in the CCT between preoperation and postoperative 1 day (t =-5.116,P＜0.01),between postoperative 1 day and 14 days (t =4.135,P＜ 0.01),between postoperative 14 days and 60 days (t=2.082,P＜0.05).UCVA=0.513-1.183×C J45(F=16.724;t=-4.089,P=0.026) and BCVA=-1.314+0.003×CCT (F=22.322;t=4.725,P=0.018).Conclusions The UCVA remains a downward trend,and BCVA sustains upward trend after 2.6 mm temporal transparent incision phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation surgery.Postoperative UCVA is affected by corneal astigmatism change,while BCVA is influenced by CCT change.

This study aims to compare the urate-lowering response rate of febuxostat and allopurinol in gout patient using a model-based meta-analysis. The literature search identified 22 clinical trials of gout with a total of 43 unique treatment arms that met our inclusion criteria, and a total of 6 365 gout patients were included in the study. The response rates of allopuriol and febuxostat were characterized by Tmax model and Emax model respectively, and the effect of baseline serum uric acid (sUA) and patient type on the drug effect was tested. The results showed that allopurinol can reach an average maximum response rate of 50.8% while febuxostat can reach a 100% response rate within a very short time, and the ED50 was 34.3 mg. Covariate analysis revealed that baseline sUA has a negative effect on response rate of allopurinol, and a positive effect on the predicted ED50 of febuxostat. For patients who had shown inadequate response to prior allopurinol treatment, the average response rate was about half that of the allopurinol responder patients.

OBJECTIVEThis work lays the foundation for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion. A digital dental cast is acquired through grating projection, and model features are measured through reverse engineering.

METHODSThe grating projection system controlled by a computer was projected onto the surface of a normal dental model. Three-dimensional contour data were obtained through multi-angle shooting. A three-dimensional model was constructed, and the model features were analyzed by using reverse engineering. The digital model was compared with the plaster model to determine the accuracy of the measurement system.

RESULTSThe structure of three-dimensional reconstruction model was clear. The digital models of two measurements exhibited no significant difference (P > 0.05). When digital and plaster models were measured, we found that the crown length and arch width were not statistically different (P > 0.05), whereas the difference between the crown width and arch length was statistically significant (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe reconstruction of a digital model by using the grating projection technique and reverse engineering can be used for dental model measurement in clinic al and scientific research and can provide a scientific method for establishing a digital model database with normal occlusion.

BACKGROUND:Mesenchymal stem cel s are multipotent progenitor cel s that can be isolated from the bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical cord blood and so on. Mesenchymal stem cel s possess strong immunosuppressive effects on both innate and adaptive immunity.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cel s for T lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural kil er cel s and dentritic cel s and prospect its therapeutic implication.
METHODS:PubMed and CNKI databases were searched for relevant literatures published from 2000 to 2015. The key words were“mesenchymal stem cel s, immunomodulator, T cel s, B cel s, NK cel s, dendriticc cel s”in Chinese and English, respectively. Then, 61 papers were included and further analyzed.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The immunomodulatory effects of MSCs on lymphocytes, B lymphocytes, natural kil er cel s and dentritic cel s were elicited by cel-cel contact and soluble cytokines. But mesenchymal stem cel s from different sources hold different immunomodulatory effect on immune cel s. When we use mesenchymal stem cel s in clinic, some important factors, such as isolation methods, cel sources, colonization sites, should be taken into account. In order to ensure the clinical safety and effectiveness, there are stil many problems to be further studied before mesenchymal stem cel s can be widely used in clinic.
