Objective To evaluate the effects of remifentanil on the proliferation,the cell cycle and apoptosis of human liver carcinoma cell line HepG2 in vitro.Methods Human liver carcinoma cells HepG2 were cultured in vitro.The HepG2 cells of the test group were incubated in the RPMI-1640 medium with remifentanil at different concentration(0.001,0.01,0.1,1,10,100,200 μmol/L).The HepG2 cells of the control group were incubated in the RPMI-1640 medium for 48 hours.The level of the cell proliferation was evaluated with methylthiazolyldiphenyl-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) method.The cell cycle was detected with flow cytometry (FCM).The morphological change of apoptosis cell was observed by fluorescence microscopy after staining by Hoechst33258.Results Remifentanil inhibited the proliferation of the HepG2 cells with a dose-dependent effect.Compared with control group,the cell proliferation capability was apparently decreased in the test group (P ＜ 0.05) when the concentration of remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L (P ＜0.05).However,no significant difference in cell proliferation was found when remifentanil was 100 and 200 μmol/ L.The ratio of G0/G1 phase of HepG2 cells was significantly enhanced and the ratio of S phase of HepG2 cells was significantly decreased when remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L.The fluorescent microscopy stained by the Hoechst33258 showed part of HcpG2 cells apoptosis in test group,and the apoptotic rate was significantly increased when remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The data suggest that remifentanil would inhibit the proliferation of HepG2 cells and induce apoptosis when remifentanil was over 1 μmol/L.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that percutaneous vertebroplasty is a better method to repair osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, but there are stil less specific schemes of transpedicular approach. Whether unipedicular or bipedicular approach is preferred is stil controversial. OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical efficacy of percutaneous verterbroplastyviaunipedicular and bipedicular approach on osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. METHODS:Totaly 118 patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures who had been admitted at the Department of Orthopedics, the First People's Hospital of Kashi from June 2010 to June 2013 and folowed up over 1 year were enroled and randomly divided into unipedicular and bipedicular groups, with 59 in each group. These two groups were compared in terms of bone cement volume, bone cement leakage, kyphosis correction, vertebral height restoration, visual analog scale score, Oswestry disability index, activity of daily living scale score, SF-36 score, and postoperative complications. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cement leakage rate was lower in the unipedicular group (34%) than the bipedicular group (37.3%), but there was no significant difference (P=0.701 > 0.05). The kyphosis correction and scoliosis correction had no statistical significance between the two groups (P > 0.05). The mean vertebral height was improved significantly in both two groups at 1 year after operation (P < 0.05), but there was no difference between the two groups before and after operation (P > 0.05). There were also no significant differences between the two groups in terms of visual analog scale score, Oswestry disability index, activity of daily living scale score, SF-36 score before and after operation, but these indexes were al improved significantly in each group at 1 year after operation than before operation (P < 0.05). The bone cement amount of the unipedicular group was lower than that of the bipedicular group (P=0.001 < 0.05), and the operation time was also shorter in the unipedicular group than the bipedicular group (P=0.000 < 0.05). No serious complications occurred in the two groups. These findings indicate that percutaneous verterbroplasty via unipedicular and bipedicular approach has good analgesic and repair outcomes in patients with osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, and the unipedicular approach is better than the bipedicular approach in the folowing aspects: less bone cement volume, lower cement leakage and shorter operation time.

Objective To investigate the levels of lipoprotein associated phospholipase A2(Lp-PLA2),D-dimer(D-D),antithrombin Ⅲ (AT Ⅲ) in acute cerebral infarction (ACI)patients,and to analyzed their correlation with ACI.Methods Sixty-nine patients with ACI(ACI group) and 40 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination(control group) were selected in this study.The levels of Lp-PLA2,D-D and ATⅢ were compared between the two groups and their positive rates were statistically analyzed.Then the correlation between Lp-PLA2,D-D and ATⅢ with ACI was analyzed.Results The levels of Lp-PLA2 and D-D in the ACI group were higher than those in the control group,while the ATⅢ level was lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Their positive rates in the ACI group were higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).Lp-PLA2,D-D and ATⅢ were correlated with ACI occurrence and had mutual correlation (all P<0.05).Conclusion Lp-PLA2,D-D and AT Ⅲ participate in the occurrence process of ACI,and their detection can be applied to screen out ACI high-risk groups,and may guide early prevention and early diagnosis of ACI.
