Objective To investigate the relationship between bispectral index (BIS) and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) concentrations of propofol or effect-site concentrations during target-controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol and evaluate the accuracy of the infusion system targeting at effect-site concentration.Methods Twelve healthy mongrel dogs weighing (17.04? 1.53) kg were anesthetized with intramuscular ketamine 5 mg?kg-1 followed by enflurane inhalation. A catheter was inserted into subarachnoid space and advanced to the base of skull for the collection of CSF. BIS, hemodynamics and PETCO2 were monitored continuously during the experiment. Target effect-site propofol concentration was set at 3 ?g?ml-1 and infusion was continued for 15 min. CSF was collected at 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 30, 45 and 60 min after infusion was started for determination of propofol concentration by high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. Results The equilibrium between predicted plasma and effect-site concentration was reached at 10.9 min and the target effect-site concentration was maintained at 3 ?g?ml-1 .The peak CSF concentration of propofol was (0.29? 0.14)?g?ml-1 .CSF concentrations were much lower than the effect-site concentrations at all sampling times (about 18.7% of the effect-site concentration on average) . BIS was consistent with the CSF concentrations of propofol. Both of them reached the lowest or peak values at 5 min after infusion was started, while the peak effect-site concentration was reached relatively later. BIS was found to be better correlated with CSF concentration (? = 0.9195) than with the effect-site concentration (? = 0.554) . The dogs developed hypotension as expected but no other severe adverse effect was observed. Conclusion The inconsistency of BIS with effect-site concentration during TCI of propofol may result from its pharmacokinetic parameters. Good correlation between BIS and CSF concentration indicates that CSF concentration can reflect the pharmacokinetic profileof propofol at effect-site more accurately than the plasma concentration during TCI of propofol targeting at effect-site concentration.

Objective: After establishing standard multi-modal therapy, prognosis of refractory and metastatic high-grade osteosarcoma remains dismal and unchanged over the last decades. Early clinical intervention to newly detected metastatic lesions is crucial and effective for better prognosis. Arsenic trioxide (ATO) is one of the oldest remedies used in traditional oriental medicine and is recently rediscovered as an immunomodulator due to its activity against other solid tumors. This study aims to evaluate the efficiency of ATO combined with first-line chemotherapy in treating pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma patients with long-term follow-up in our institution.Methods: Osteosarcoma patients with pulmonary metastasis were intravenously administered with ATO (5-10 mg) daily combined with first-line chemotherapy for their treatment. A total of 119 patients were finally enrolled; 65 presented metastasis, and 54 relapsed with lung metastasis. Results: Two-year and five-year overall survival (OS) rates for these patients reached 52.6% and 30.9%, respectively. Only 20 cases underwent thoracotomies (16.8%). Our five-year OS was nearly similar to that of other institutions (37% in Rizzoli, Italy). We observed that combined with bone metastasis, bilateral metastasis, and >3 pulmonary nodules, incomplete resection of pulmonary lesions deteriorated the disease and significantly influenced survival as compared with all other parameters. Conclusion:Combined with conventional chemotherapy, ATO may be effective and well-tolerated as new therapeutic option for patients with nonresectable pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma. Lung metastasectomy should be strictly selected only for populations who benefit from this treatment.

Objective To investigate the expression of extraeellular signal-regulated protein kinase (ERK1/2)pathway in rat brains with fluorosis and the effects of fluoride on learning and memory of the rats,and to reveal the mechanisms of damaged nervous system resulted from the toxicity of the ion.Methods Seventy-two SD rats were divided into 3 groups and 24 rats were in each group.Three groups were fed respectively with different concentrations of fluoride(NaF)for 6 months to establish rat models with fluorosis.Controls were fed with tap water (NaF<0.5 mg/L):lower and higher concentration group were fed with water containing NaF(5,50 ms/L).Animals are sacrificed after 6 months of treatment with fluoride and the dissected brains were kept for analysis.The protein levels of ERK1/2 in rat brains were detected by Western-blotting and the mRNA level by RT-PCR. The spatial learning and memorizing ability was measured by Morris water maze test. Results The ERK1/2 protein in control group,lower and higher concentration group was 0.944±0.10,1.253±0.02,1.953±0.07,the differece being statistieally sighificant between any two groups (P < 0.05). The phospho-ERKl/2 protein in control group,lower and higher concentration group was 0.73±0.08,0.77±0.07,1.28±0.11,the differece being statistieally sighificant between any two groups(P < 0.05);the activation rate of phospho-ERK1/2 in lower and higher concentration group [(68.4± 3.8)%,(64.1±3.2)%] was decreased compared to control group[ (82.3±10.7)%],the differece being significant(P < 0.05). In the navigation trial,longer escape latencies of lower concentration group on the second, the third,the fifth and the sixth day were observed[ (46.0±8.0),(24.0±2.7),(8.9±5.3),(7.4±4.1 )s] compared to the control[ (39.3±6.9),(19.1±9.1 ),(8.3±3.4),(4.8±2.7)s],the differece being significant (P < 0.05 or < 0.01 );the similar results were also observed in the higher concentration group[ (36.9±16.8),(37.7±12.9), (19.7±7.6),(12.2±5.7 )s],and the escape latencies of the higher concentration group on the third,the fifth and the sixth day were longer than that in lower concentration group. In the probe test,the rats took more time to reach the first cross in lower and higher concentration group[(1.17±0.75),(4.18±1.10)s] than control group[ (5.89± 0.56 ) s ],the differece being significant (P < 0.05 or < 0.01 ) ;stayed shorter [ ( 17.05±4.25 ),(18.20±4.57 ) s ] than control [(25.37±5.65 )s ] in platform area (P < 0.01 );the activation rates of ERK1/2 were directly correlated with the time taken to reach the first cross platform located in the probe test(r = 0.364,P < 0.05) and the activation rates were also directly correlated with the escape latencies on the sixth day(r = 0.497,P < 0.05). Conclusion Long-term exposure of excessive fluoride induces the change of expression and activating rate of the ERK1/2 in rat brains,leading to the decreased capacity of learning and memory.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of the downstream substrate of extracellular regulated protein kinase(ERK1/2) pathway, ternary complex factor phospho-Elk-1, in rat brains with chronic fluorosis, and reveal the mechanism of the impaired learning and memory ability caused by chronic fluorosis. Methods Seventy-two SD rats, weighing 100 - 120 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups, 24 in each group (half male and half female). The rats in control group were fed with tap water (fluoride < 0.5 mg/L); low- and high-dose fluoride groups were fed with tap water with different concentrations of NaF(5.0,50.0 mg/L F-, respectively). After 6 months, body weight was weighed, dental fluorosis was determined by observation and urinary fluoride and bone fluoride were detected by fluorine ion-selective electrode; the learning ability of rats was measured by navigation test of Morris water maze, and memory ability by spatial probe test in Morris water maze; the expression and distribution of phospho-Elk-1 in different brain regions were detected by immunohistochemistry method. Results In low- and high-fluoride groups, the body weight of rat[(449.2 ± 77.1), (312.8 ± 89.7)g] was significantly decreased than that of control [(635.5 ± 76.2 )g, all P< 0.05], the varying degrees of dental fluorosis were observed(x2 = 7.83, P<0.05), urinary fluoride[(2.56 ±0.91),(5.73 ±3.14)mg/L] and bone fluoride[(709.2 ± 37.4) ,(1306.3 ± 102.4) mg/kg] were significantly higher than those in controls[(0.92 ± 0.30)mg/L,(348.5 ± 89.2)mg/kg, all P< 0.05]. The escape latency of low- and high-fluoride groups[ (7.4 ± 4.1), (12.2 ± 5.7)s] was longer than that of control [(4.8 ± 2.7 )s, all P < 0.05] and the escape latency in high-fluoride group was significantly longer than that in other groups (all P < 0.05); in spatial probe test, the time of first crossing platform was longer in rats with fluorosis [(4.18 ± 1.10),(5.89 ± 0.56)s] as compared to control[(1.17 ± 0.75)s, all P< 0.05]. Expressions of phospho-Elk-1 in the hippocampus CA1(167.4 ± 8.3,163.2 ± 9.4), CA2(175.7 ± 5.0,183.3 ± 4.2), CA3(165.2 ± 11.6,162.9 ± 4.4), CA4(168.7± 6.9,169.5 ±5.3), fascia dentate (185.2 ±4.0,193.1 ±6.1) and caudate putamen( 181.4 ± 3.8, 179.8 ± 5.5) in low- and high-fluoride groups were higher than those of controls(142.4 ± 8.1,144.9 ± 8.4,143.6 ± 5.8, 116.8 ± 9.1,140.2 ± 7.8,163.1 ± 13.1, all P< 0.05). Conclusion Chronic fluorosis can cause increased expression of phospho-Elk-1 in the hippocampus and caudate putamen region of rat brains, which might be related to the mechanisms of decreased learning and memory ability of rats overexposed to fluoride.
