The levels of IFN-? and IL-2 in the salivary juice of the three groups were determined and compared before and after the treatments. Results The levels of IFN-? and IL-2 in the group A and B before the treatments were higher than the normal control group (P

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of Insulin like growth factor-ⅡmRNA binding protein3 (IMP3) in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). Methods One hundred and fifteen cases of GIST were subjected to immunohistochemical staining for IMP3 (SP method) and ki67 (iVisionTM method ). The relationship between IMP3 expression with clinicopathologic parameters and Ki67 proliferation indexes were analyzed. In situ hybridization detection of IMP3 mRNA was performed in 20 cases of GIST positive. Results The expression rate of IMP3 was 56.2%(65/115) in GIST positive. A significant correlation can be found between IMP3 expression and tumor of infiltration , coagulative necrosis , metastasis , nuclear atypia , diameter , mitotic count , risk grade of NIH (P < 0.05), while there was no significant correlation between IMP3 and gender, age, primary location, categories of cell type (P>0.05). There was positive correlation of IMP3 expression and Ki67 labeling indexes by Spearman analysis. Positive expression with IMP3 can be observed in 3 cases of recurrence.It may play important role in invasive and development and may be an important factor of prognosis in GIST.

Objective To evaluate whether sufentanil infusion during emergence anesthesia has a effect of coughing on extubation. Methods Eighty-one patients were randomly divided into three groups. before extubation, sufentanil was administered at the group S1 at a rate of 0.2μg/(kg·h)or 0.3μg/(kg·h)at the group S2, and saline was administered to the group C. Cough score, MAP, HR and recovery profiles were recorded. The pain score, the total volume of admin-istered patient-controlled analgesia(PCA), and the postoperative nausea and vomiting(PONV) score were evaluated at 1, 6, and 24 hours after surgery. Results Compared to Group C ,Groups S1 and S2 showed significantly lower cough scores and MAP, HR on extubation. Recovery profiles showed no significant differences among the three groups. Pain score, PONV at 1 hour postoperatively, and the total volume of PCA administered at all evaluation times were signifi-cantly lower in the groups S1 and S2 than in the group C. Conclusion A sufentanil infusion(0.2~0.3)μg/(kg·h) dur-ing emergence anesthesia may suppress coughing on extubation without delaying extubation time. It may also reduce the postoperative analgesic requirement without increasing PONV.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of myeloperoxidase (MPO) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in myocardial injury induced by hind-limb ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats.

METHODSRat models of bilateral hindlimb IR established using a tourniquet were randomized into 9 groups, including a normal control group normal, 2 ischemic groups with hindlimb ischemia for 2 and 4 h, and 6 IR groups with a 4-h ischemia followed by reperfusion for 0.5, 2, 4, 6, 12, and 24 h. The plasma and myocardial levels of MPO and TNF-α in each group were measured, and the myocardial expression of TNF-α was determined with immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the rats with a 2-h ischemia showed significantly increased levels of MPO and TNF-α in the plasma and myocardium. Compared with those in rats with a 4-h ischemia, the plasma and myocardial MPO levels increased significantly at 0.5 and 2 h of reperfusion, respectively; the plasma TNF-α level increased significantly at 4 h of reperfusion and myocardial TNF-α level decreased obviously at 12 h; plasma levels of MPO and TNF-α both significantly decreased at 24 h. The plasma MPO and TNF-α and myocardial TNF-α reached the peak levels at 4 h of reperfusion, and the peak myocardial MPO level occurred at 6 h. Immunohistochemistry showed that TNF-α positivity moderately increased after hindlimb ischemia, and further increased at 4 h of reperfusion but obviously reduced at 24 h.

CONCLUSIONThe activation of systemic and local neutrophils and inflammatory cytokines may play an important role in myocardial injury induced by hindlimb IR in rats.

OBJECTIVETo assess the protective effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) against myocardial injury after skeletal muscle ischemia/reperfusion (IR) in rats and explore the mechanism.

METHODSThirty-one Wistar rats were randomized into normal control (n=8), IR group (n=8, with a 4-h reperfusion following a 4-h ischemia of the bilateral hindlimbs induced using a tourniquet), NaHS group (n=8, with IR and intraperitoneal injection of 14 µmol/kg NaHS), and DL-propargylglycine (PPG) group (n=7, with IR and intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg PPG). The plasma levels of CK-MB and the levels of MPO, TNF-α, MDA, T-SOD, and CuZn-SOD in the plasma and myocardial tissues were measured. The expression of TNF-α in the myocardium was examined using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS Skeletal muscle IR induced significantly increased plasma CK-MB level (P<0.05) and the levels of MPO, TNF-α, and MDA in the plasma and myocardium, and significantly decreased plasma and myocardial levels of T-SOD and CuZn-SOD (P<0.05). NaHS treatment significantly decreased plasma CK-MB level (P<0.05), reduced plasma and myocardial levels of MPO, TNF-α, and MDA, and increased plasma and myocardial T-SOD and CuZn-SOD in rats with IR (P<0.05), whereas PPG treatment did not produce any obvious responses (P>0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed an obviously reduced expression of TNF-α in the myocardium in rats with NaHS treatment compared with those in IR group.

CONCLUSIONH₂S treatment can alleviate myocardial injury induced by skeletal muscle IR in rats by inhibiting the inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress.

Objective To illustrate if the racial coefficient (Rc) be biased by different reference GFR (rGFR) distribution among studies. Methods 1405 white and 321 African American participants in MDRD study and 684 chronic kidney disease(CKD)patients in Chinese eGFR Investigation Study were included.Firstly.the unweighted datasets of white and Chinese were stacked together.rGFR,age and plasma creatinine (Pcr) were log transformed.Linear regression model was constructed using log transformed rGFR as dependent,gender,race and log transformed Pcr and age as independent.Unweighted RC (uRC) for Chinese was calculated.Then.the Chinese CKD distribution of rGFR was weighted to be the same as that in White American.and weighted RC (wRC)for Chinese was calculated.The cases of White.and African-American were stacked together.The cases of African-American were weighted to make the rGFR distribution the same as that in White-American and Chinese population respectively,and RCs for African-American were calculated. Resuits The uRC for Chinese was 1.197(1.180-1.211)and the wRC was 1.130 (1.117-1.143).The two RCs did not overlap with each other.The RCs for African-American were 1.205(1.19-1.219)and 1.233(1.219-1.247)respectively. Conclusions The RCs were influenced by the difference of rGFR distribution.To find out the real RC.an intemational collaborative study iS needed,with the same rGFR measure method.strict control of Pcr measurement,and the same rGFR distribution.

Objective To investigate the status and risk factors of surgical site infection (SSI)in hospitals in Chi-na,so as to provide theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of SSI.Methods Four types of surgeries (colorectal surgery,abdominal hysterectomy,femoral neck repair surgery,and vascular surgery)in 29 hospitals were monitored prospectively,risk factors for SSI were analyzed.Results A total of 6 309 surgical procedures were investigated,incidence of SSI was 1 .60%.Incidences of SSI in patients receiving colorectal surgery,abdominal hys-terectomy,femoral neck repair surgery,and vascular surgery were 4.47%(74/1 655 ),1 .03%(22/2 139),0.21 %(5/2 372),and 0.00% (0/143 )respectively.The incidences of SSI were different among different regions (χ2 =114.213,P <0.05).The most common SSI was superficial incisional infection,the next was deep incisional infec-tion.The major pathogens causing SSI were Escherichia coli ,Enterococcus spp .,coagulase negative staphylococ-cus ,Staphylococcus aureus ,and Klebsiella pneumoniae .The independent risk factors for SSI were male patients, long duration of surgery,and high NNIS score.Conclusion The risk of SSI is varied with different types of surger-ies.Male,long duration of surgery,and high NNIS score can increase the risk of postoperative SSI.
