Objective To evaluate the myocardial protective effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) with 0 5% ropivacaine during acute myocardial ischemia reperfusion Methods Eighteen healthy hybrid dogs were randomly divided into three groups: ropivacaine group (group Ⅰ), bupivacaine group (group Ⅱa) and normal saline group (group Ⅱb) Anesthesia was induced and maintained with intravenous anesthesia and ventilation was mechanically controlled Epidural catheter was placed at T 6 7 and 0 5% ropivacaine, 0 5% bupivacaine or normal saline 12ml was administered epidurally 15min after epidural administration of local anesthetics or normal saline, the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery was temporarilly occluded for 45min Blood samples were taken from right atrium and assayed for cardiac troponin T (cTnT) before epidural administration and 6h after reperfusion Myocardial tissues of left ventricular infarction area were examined by electron microscopy Results Plasma cTnT levels were comparable (P

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect of increasing doses of tamsulosin in lower urinary tract symptom (LUTS) of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).MethodsA prospective self-controlled clinical trail was performed.Two hundred and sixty-one patients who had LUTS of BPH were enrolled in this prospective 4 weeks study of tamsulosin.The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups:took tamsulosin 0.2 mg QN (n =126,group A) and 0.4 mg QN (n =135,group B) respectively.The IPSS score and maximum flow rate before and after treatment were compared between the 2 groups.ResultsThe IPSS score of group A decreased from 17.72 ± 2.50 to 10.21± 1.95,average decreased 7.59 ± 2.74 ； maximum flow rate was elevated from (8.78 ± 3.70) ml/s to ( 12.74 ± 2.99 ) ml/s,average increased (4.31 ± 3.01 )ml/s.The IPSS score of group B decreased from 19.24 ± 3.22 to 11.21 ± 3.02,average decreased 8.49 ±3.73； maximum flow rate was elevated from (7.74 ± 1.97) ml/s to ( 12.04 ± 2.46) ml/s,average increased (4.73 ± 2.97) ml/s.There was no significant difference of the changes of IPSS score between the 2 groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ),but there was a significant difference of the changes of maximum flow rate between the 2 groups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The results was further analyzed by sub grouped ( by patient body weight,divided into ≤55.0 kg,55.1 -65.0 kg,65.1 -75.0 kg,＞75.0 kg group).There were significant differences of the changes of IPSS score and maximum flow rate between the 2 groups in 65.1 - 75.0 kg and ＞ 75.0 kg subgroups ( P ＜ 0.05 ).The incidence of side effects between the 2 groups was not significantly different (P ＞ 0.05).ConclusionsFor most patients,the use of high-dose tamsulosin in improving LUTS caused by BPH can not bring significant benefits.But if the patient's weight is more than 65.0 kg,increasing the dose of tamsulosin is suggested for consideration.

Objective To investigate the sedative effect of propofol combined with different doses of midazolam in patients undergoing long-time microsurgeries.Methods Forty ASA(American Society of Anesthesiologists)Ⅰ～Ⅱ patients were randomly divided into 4 groups.Normal saline(NS) 2 mL was administered in groupⅠ,while midazolam 0.01,0.02 and 0.04 mg/kg was administered in groupⅡ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ respectively.one min later,propofol was infused at a rate of 5～10 mg/kg?h combined with midazolam based on the abovementioned dosage per hour for groupⅡ,Ⅲ,Ⅳ respectively.Taking auditory evoked potential index(AAI) as a parameter,after it decreased to 40,the infusion rate of propofol was adjusted to keep AAI at the level of 30～45,and maintained the level by infusing propofol and midazolam for 5 hours.The dosage of propofol required for induction and maintenance was recorded.The emergence time and whether patients had awareness during the operation were recorded after the infusion stopped.Results At the target sedative level of AAI 30～45,the Observer's Assessment of alertness/sedation(OAA/S) score of all patients in the four groups reached 0～1.The induction period was obviously shortened and the propofol dosage was dramatically reduced in group Ⅱ～Ⅳ as compared with groupⅠ.At the stage of maintenance of sedation,the dosages of propofol in both groupⅠandⅡ were larger than those in group Ⅲ and Ⅳ.The emergence time in group Ⅳ was dramatically longer than the other groups(P

Objective To study the inhibitory effect of hammerhead ribozyme targeting connective tissue growth factor(CTGF) on collagen I synthesis and cell cycle progression of human hepatic stellate cell line(LX-2) cells.Methods Hammerhead ribozyme cDNA targeting CTGF mRNA plus two self-cleaving sequences were inserted into pTriEx2 vector to construct a recombinant vector pTriCTGF-Rz.LX-2 cells were transfected with either pTriEx2 or pTriCTGF-Rz and further stimulated with or without TGF-1.There were five groups in the experiment:control group,pTriEx2 group,pTriCTGF-Rz group,pTriEx2 plus TGF-?1 group,and pTrCTGF-Rz plus TGF?1 group.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to detect the levels of CTGF mRNA and collagen Ⅰ mRNA.ELISA and flow cytometry were used to detect the levels of collagen Ⅰ secretion and cell cycle.Results Transfection of pTriCTGF-Rz into LX-2 cells reduced the CTGF mRNA and collagen Ⅰ mRNA levels as well as collagen Ⅰ protein level compared with pTriEx2 group(P

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect in prevention of intravenous catheter-related infection(CRI) using antiseptic impregnated central venous catheter.Methods Intravenous catheter-related infection was retrospectively analyzed between 440 cases performed with general centrol venous catheter and 420 cases performed with antiseptic impregnated central venous catheter in ICU.Results There were 34 cases of CRI in 860 cases,28 cases were inserted general central venous catheter and 6 cases inserted antiseptic impregnated central venous catheter,the group of antiseptic impregnated was lower singificantly than the group of general in infection rate(P=0.0002).Conclusion Using antiseptic impregnated central venous catheter can reduce CRI,which has clinical effect in prevention of CRI.

Studies on NaCl concentration, pH tolerance and selectivity to different concent rations of Na +, K +, Mg 2+ and Ca 2+ of 43 isolates from th e saline soils in XinJiang, HeBei and QingHai Provinces of China and 4 type stra ins were performed in this paper Results showed that halotolerant actinomycete s have extensiv e adaptability to Na +, K + and Mg 2+ and only a few of them can grow in low CaCl 2 concentration Halophilic actinomycetes have extensive adaptability to Na +, and for most halophilic actinomycetes, Na + can be substituted by K + , Mg 2+ , but not for Ca 2+ For some halophilic actinomycetes , it is necessary to have Na + for their growth It also showed that the growth of al l halophilic actinomycetes had se lectivity with different concentration of Na +, K +, Mg 2+ So it is pre sumed that only Kaliumphilic or Magnesiumphilic Actinomycetes maybe exist in hig h salt environments In addition, the growth pH range were 6 0～9 0 and the o ptimum pH were 7 0～8 0 not only for halophilic but also for halotolerant acti nomycetes The dis tribution of halophilic actinomycetes also have some relativity to isolation sit es

AIM: To establish a simple, rapid and accurate high performance liquid chromatographic method (HPLC) for the determination of cyclosporin A (CsA) in human whole blood, and to study the influence of nicotinylmethylamide (Nic) on the pharmacokinetic parameters of cyclosporin A (CsA). METHODS: Whole blood CsA concentrations were measured by HPLC in 18 healthy volunteers administrated single CsA or co administrated Nic. The data of time blood concentrations of CsA were analyzed by 3p97 Program. The analysis of variance and two one sided t test were used to compare the main pharmacokinetic parameters of CsA in the two administrations. RESULTS: C max and AUC 0～∞ of CsA had statistically significance between the single CsA group and co administration of Nic group (P0.05). CONCLUSION: This HPLC method is simple, sensitive and accurate, and is suitable for routine determination of blood CsA levels in human. Nic can improve the absorption of CsA and increase the C max and AUC of CsA, but has no influence on the metabolism of CsA.

Objective To investigate the effect of C4d deposition in peritubular capillary (PTC)in chronic allograft nephropathy (CAN) on prognosis and intervention of renal transplantation recipients. Methods All the cases who received the renal graft biopsy due to diagnosis of CAN from January 2000 to August 2008, and had the 2-year follow-up data were included in the study. The clinical data were analyzed according to the C4d deposition in PTC. Results Among 86 cases 39 cases were C4d positive (C4d+ group) and the remaining 47 cases were negative (C4d group). There was no significant difference in sex, age, donor source, transplant times, time after biopsy, the panel reactive antibodies (PRA) level between two groups (P＞0. 05). Before intervention, there was no significant difference in serum creatinine (Scr) and 24 h urinary protein between two groups (P＞0. 05). At the end of 2-year followed-up period, graft loss rate and urinary protein levels in C4d+group were significantly higher than in C4d- group (P＜0. 05). Before intervention, the incidence of blood lipid disorder and hypertension was higher in C4d- group (P ＜ 0. 05 ), but no significant difference was found in uric acid and blood sugar levels (P＞0. 05). At the end of 2-year followed-up period, there was no significant difference in blood glucose, uric acid, blood pressure and lipid profile (eliminating renal lost cases) between two groups (P＞0. 05). Conclusion The patients with CAN and C4d+ means the involvement of chronic humoral rejection and have poor clinical results. Effective intervention against humoral immune response can improve renal allograft survival.
