Objective To investigate the clinical effects of continuous 3-in-1 femoral nerve block with stimulating catheters for patient controlled regional anesthesia(PCRA) in elderly patients after unilateral total knee replacement (TKR)surgery.Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ elderly patients wererandomly divided into two groups: FB group and Ⅳ group.FB group received continuous 3-in-1 femoral nerve block for postoperative analgesia with 0.2% ropivacaine plus 0.1 μg/ml sufentanil continuous infusion at 5 ml/h plus PCA boluses (1.0 ml/15 min).Ⅳ group received continuous intravenous analgesia with 1 μg/ml sufentanil plus 0.04 mg/ml tropisetron hydrochloride at 2 ml/h plus PCA boluses (0.5 ml/15 min).All patients were maintained analgesia for 48 hours.Results In FB group, the visual analogue scale(VAS) scores were 1.3 ±1.1, 1.2 ± 1.0, 1.1±0.9, 1.1 ± 1.0,1.0±0.9 at 4, 8, 12, 24, 48 hours after surgery under rest status respectively and were 3.04±1.4,2.3±1.3 at 24, 48 hours after surgery in active function training.These parameters in Ⅳ group were 4.0±1.6, 3.5±1.6, 3.2±1.4, 3.0±1.3, 2.5±1.2, 4.7±1.5 and 3.3±1.5 respectively, which were significantly different compared with FB group (t=5.358, 4.707, 4.852, 3.784, 3.743, 3.254,1.932,all P<0.05 or P<0.01).The incidence of nausea was higher in IV group than in FB group(P = 0.0022).Postoperative satisfaction ratings was higher (χ2 =41.1 ,P<0.01) and the total morphine use for 48 hours after operation was less(uc=2.412, P<0.01) in FB group than in Ⅳ group.Conclusions After TKR surgery, the continuous 3-in-1 femoral nerve block with stimulating catheters is an effective method with better pain relief,fewer side effects and higher satisfaction ratings in the elderly.

The E. coli BL21(DE3) strain bearing the plasmid(T_7lac/His6-tag) with the h?TNF?recombinant gene was grown in LB medium containing SO?g/ml kanamycin, at 37 ℃ , up to the late logarithmic phase(OD590 ~ 0.5)then induced with IPTG (final concentration lmmol/L)for 5 hours. SDS-PAGE analysis revealed that expression level of the product(His6-?TNF?was up to 45% of the total bacterial proteins and was mainly as insoluble inclusion bodies ( IBs) . After cell lysis, the IBs was separated by centrifugation, dissolved in 7mol/L urea, then purified by Ni column ( Ni~(2+) -Sepharose 6B) . And the purity of more than 95% and the recovery of about 90% were obtained. The purified product was refolded with the renaturation buffer under low temperafure(

0.05).Conclusion The increasing of IL-15 in peripheral blood after MP infection may play a role in bronchitic asthma pathogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the significance of standardized ultrasound examination of fetal structures in the ifrst trimester (11-13+6 weeks). Methods The ultrasound data of 29 858 fetuses who underwent the ifrst trimester screening were analyzed retrospectively in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Capital Medical University from January 2010 to December 2012 and followed up the cases with structural abnormalities and increased nuchal translucency (NT). Results Among 29 858 fetuses, 328 structural defects were detected in 284 fetuses (0.95%) by ultrasound in the first trimester, including fetal hydrops (124 cases), choroid plexus cysts (36 cases), exencephaly (32 cases), gastroschisis (24 cases), exomphalos (22 cases), cardiac defects (19 cases), megacystis (14 cases), spine abnormalities (10 cases), meningoceles/encephaloceles (9 cases), alobar holoprosencephaly (8 cases), hydrocephaly (7 cases), abnormalities of extremities (7 cases), acrania (6 cases), amniotic band syndrome (4 cases), abdominal cyst (3 cases) and conjoined twins (3 cases). Pregnancy was terminated in all cases (115) with exencephaly, gastroschisis, exomphalos, meningoceles/encephaloceles, alobar holoprosencephaly, hydrocephaly,abnormalities of extremities, acrania, amniotic band syndrome and conjoined twins, and the defects were verified by the gross appearance of fetuses. Two cases of megacystis were turned out to be normal during follow-up while 1 case was proved to be aneuploid and 1 other case progressed to multiple abnormalities during the second trimester. Most choroid plexus cysts, except 1 case of aneuploid, were normal during the second and the third trimester follow-ups by ultrasound. Thirteen cases of fetal hydrops were found to be aneuploids and 4 hydrops cases were proved to be complicated with other structural defects during the second and the third trimester. NT was increased in 422 cases (1.41%), among which 122 cases (28.91%) were complicated with structural defects and/or fetal hydrops. Ninty-nine cases with increased NT underwent chromosomal examination and 38 cases were found to be aneuploides. During the follow-up of 298 cases with increased NT who continued pregnancy, 21 structural abnormalities were found, including cardiac defects (14 cases), neural abnormalities (4 cases) and diaphragmatic hernia (3 cases). Conclusion The standardized fetal ultrasound in the first trimester is a effective tool for the screening of aneupolides and major structural abnormalities.

Objective To investigate the potential value of VEGF-C targeted ultrasmall superparamagnetic particles of iron oxide (USPIO)molecular probe in specific detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)in a rat model using MRI.Methods The targeted probe was synthesized by conjugating VEGF-C antibody with amino modified USPIO.Cell counting kit-8 assay was conducted to as-certain the probe’s effect on the growth of HepG2 cells.Rat models with HCC were divided into two groups (targeted group with VEGF-C-USPlO and a contrast with USPIO)with 3 rats for each group at random.Pre-and post-contrast enhanced MR imaging with different time points of 0.5,1 and 1.5h was performed with an injection into caudal vein.The signal intensities of the tumor on T2 WI and T2 * WI were measured,and the differences of the signal intensities between pre-and post-enhancements or between both groups were analyzed.The iron particles within the tumors in two groups were confirmed by Prussian blue iron staining.The ex-pression of VEGF-C in HCC was proved by immunohistochemistry.Results The signal intensities of HCC on T2 WI and T2 * WI af-ter VEGF-C-USPI0 injection were decreased obviously with a minimum value at 1 h ,indicating a significant difference (P <0.05). However,those in USPIO group were decreased less without statistical differences (P >0.05).Statistical differences in signal inten-sity on T2 * WI after enhancement between both groups were also showed (P <0.05).Prussian blue staining results showed more iron particles within the tumor tissues in VEGF-C-USPI0 group,whereas less ones in USPIO group.Immunohistochemical results showed that VEGF-C was over expressed in cytoplasm and membrane.Conclusion VEGF-C-USPI0 molecular probes can initiatively target to the liver cancer in rat models with expressed VEGF-C,which may help to achieve the specific MR imaging of HCC,indica-ting a potential of the metastasis.

Abstract: Objective　 This article aims to present a rare case of severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS) complicated by with bacteraemia caused by Campylobacter jejuni, and to discuss the pathogenic characteristics, culture methods, clinical features and treatment points of Campylobacter jejuni and the patient's outcome, with a view to raising clinical awareness of blood culture and providing experience for the treatment of this disease. Methods　The clinical data of a case with SFTS complicated by bacteremia caused by Campylobacter jejuni admitted to Weihai Municipal Hospital were collected and the diagnostic process of the pathogenic bacteria as well as the treatment plan were retrospectively analysed. Results　The patient was a female who had been bitten by a tick bite half a month ago and presented to the hospital on 30th August with a fever, vague pain in the peribulbar abdomen and diarrhea for 5 days. Laboratory tests showed leukopenia and thrombocytopenia, and nucleic acid detection for SFTS was positive, resulting in a diagnosis of SFTS. After a week of antiviral treatment with ribavirin and symptomatic treatment, the patient suddenly experienced high fever at night, with a temperature reaching 39.5 °C. Blood cultures were immediately taken from both sides of the double bottle. Bilateral anaerobic bottles were tested for positive after 53.06 hours, and Gram-negative Campylobacter was cultured anaerobically in a transfer blood plate and further identified as Campylobacter jejuni using mass spectrometry MALDI-TOF MS. Vancomycin was stopped clinically on the basis of bacterial pathogenesis and meropenem was used for anti-infection and symptomatic treatment. During the treatment, blood culture and nucleic acid detection for SFTS turned negative, and the patient's symptoms improved. After normal results were achieved in the follow-up testing, the patient was discharged. Conclusions　This case serves as a reminder that Campylobacter jejuni not only causes intestinal infections, but can also lead to extra-intestinal infections in immunocompromised individuals. Clinical and laboratory personnel should increase their recognition of Campylobacter jejuni, prioritize blood culture methods, and utilize a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosis and treatment.
