Objective To investigate the effect of propofol pretreatment on hippocampal monocyte chemotactic protein-1 ( MCP-1 ) and CC-chemokine receptor type 2 (CCR2) expression following forebrain ischemiarepcrfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Twenty-four male SD rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 8 each): group Ⅰ control; group Ⅱ I/R and group Ⅲ propofol pretreatment. Cerebral I/R was induced by clamping bilateral common carotid arteries for 10 min combined with hypotension ( MAP was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg) induced by exsanguinations in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. In group Ⅲ propofol 50 mg/kg was injected into femoral vein immediately before cerebral ischemia. The animals were sacrificed at 6 h of reperfusion. Hippocampal tissue was obtained for detection of MCP-1 mRNA and CCR2 mRNA and their protein expression by RT-PCR and Western blot technique. Results I/R significantly increased the expression of MCP-1 and CCR2 in hippoeampal tissue as compared with control group. Propofol pretreatment significantly attenuated cerebral I/R induced increase in MCP-1 and CCR2 expression. Conclusion Propofol pretreatment can significantly inhibit forebrain I/R-induced hippocampal MCP-1 and CCP2 expression.

Objective:To explore the effect of goal-directed fluid therapy (GDFT) on the gastrointestinal function of patients after laparoscopic radical resection of cervical cancer.Methods:A total of 60 patients who were scheduled for laparoscopic radical resection of cervical cancer in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from October 2016 to September 2018 were selected. They were randomly divided into observation group and control group by random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. Patients in the observation group received GDFT, they were connected to the Flotrac/Vigile monitoring system, and the fluid supplementation was guided according to the changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP), stroke volume variability (SVV) and cardiac index, the goal was to maintain MAP≥60 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa), SVV≤13%, and cardiac index 2.5-4.0 L·min -1·m -2. The conventional fluid therapy was applied in the control group, and the liquid's input speed was adjusted according to the changes of MAP and central venous pressure (CVP) which were respectively maintained at 60-110 mmHg and 8-12 cmH 2O (1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa). The crystal/colloid input, bleeding volume and urine output were recorded. The first bowel sounds recovery time, exhaust time, postoperative hospitalization time, and the incidence of nausea and vomiting after surgery were recorded. Arterial blood and central venous blood were drawn before anesthesia induction and 12, 24 and 36 hours after operation to determine the concentrations of arterial blood lactate and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2) as well as intestinal type fatty acid binding protein (IFABP). Results:Compared with the control group, the urine output was increased ( t = -7.738, P < 0.01), the crystal input was reduced ( t = -13.439, P < 0.01), the colloid input was increased ( t = -8.360, P < 0.01), the recovery time of first bowel sounds after surgery was shortened ( t = 6.694, P < 0.01), the exhaust time was shortened ( t = -10.326, P < 0.01), and the time of postoperative hospitalization was shortened ( t = -7.377, P < 0.01). The incidence of nausea and vomiting in the observation group were 10.0% (3/30) and 6.7% (2/30), which were lower than 33.3% (10/30) and 26.7% (8/30) in the control group ( χ2 = 4.812, P = 0.028; χ2 = 4.320, P = 0.038). Compared with the control group, the concentration of IFABP in the observation group was reduced at 12 h ( t = 2.983, P = 0.004), 24 h ( t = 6.452, P < 0.01), and 36 h ( t = -3.880, P < 0.01) after surgery; the concentration of lactate in the observation group was reduced at 12 h ( t = -7.377, P < 0.01), 24 h ( t = -6.036, P < 0.01), and 36 h ( t = -8.933, P < 0.01) after surgery; the value of ScvO 2 in the observation group was increased at 12 h ( t = 2.710, P = 0.009) and 24 h ( t = 2.387, P = 0.020) after surgery. Conclusion:GDFT can maintain the balance between oxygen delivery and oxygen consumption in the gastrointestinal mucosa cells, which can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function of patients undergoing laparoscopic radical resection of cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of antisense TGF-beta 1 in inhibiting scar formation during wound healing.
METHODSSD rats were divided into three groups after skin burn: group one was treated with antisense TGF-beta 1 oligonucleotide; group two was treated with antisense TGF-beta 1 recombinant plasmid and the control group. In different time, RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to verify the expression of TGB beta 1 mRNA and protein. Type I Collagen mRNA expression was determined by hybridization in situ. Inflammatory reaction and collagen distribution were observed pathologically.
RESULTSIn the groups received antisense ODN and recombinant plasmid, the expression of TGF-beta 1 mRNA and protein reduced during 14 days after burn. In the control group, type I collagen mRNA began to express at the second week and reached a peak at the fourth week, while the antisense groups kept low expression. The antisense group also showed mild inflammatory reaction and less synthesis of collagen.
CONCLUSIONAntisense TGF-beta 1 could prevent the scar formation during wound healing.
