Objective To determine the threshold of stroke volume variation (SVV) in determining the volume expansion responsiveness during fluid therapy in patients ventilated with different tidal volumes. Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-75 yr undergoing elective gastrointestinal surgery under general anesthesia were randomly divided into 2 tidal volume groups (n = 25 each):group Ⅰ VT 8 ml/kg (group V1) and group ⅡVT 10 ml/kg (group V2). Radial artery was cannulated and connected to Vigelo monitor for continuous monitoring of cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI) and SVV. Internal jugular vein was cannulated for CVP monitoring. Anesthesia was induced with milazolam, propofol, fentanyl and rocuronium and maintained with intravenous propofol and remifentanil infusion. BIS was maintained at 40-50 during anesthesia. The patients were intubatel and mechanically ventilated (VT 8/10 ml/kg, RR 8-12 bpm, oxygen flow 2 L/min). 6% HES 130/0.4 7 ml/kg was infused iv at a rate of 0.4 ml·kg-1 ·min-1 after induction of anesthesia. MAP, HR, CVP, CI, SVV, SVI and SVRI were recorded before and at 3 min after fluid therapy. The changing rate of SVV (△SVV) and CI (△CI) were calculated. The criterion for effective volume expansion was △CI 15%. The ROC curve for SVV in determring the volume expansion responsiveness was plotted and the diagnostic threshold was determined. Results ROC curve showed that the diagnostic threshold of SVV was 10.5 % in group V1 and 13.5% in group V2. The sensitivity and specificity in determining effective volume expansion were 93.3 % and 75.0 % in group V1 and 87.5 % and 85.7 % in group V2 respectively. The area under the curve for SVV and 95% confidence interval (CI) were 0.946 (0.860-1.031) in group V1 and 0.951 (0.868-1.034) in group V2. △SVV was negatively correlated with △CI in group V1 (=0.553) and V2 (= 0.602). Conclusion The threshold of SVV in determining the volume expansion responsiveness during fluid therapy is 10.5% and 13.5% in mechanically ventilated patients with tidal volume of 8 and 10 ml/kg respectively.

To improve and optimize marine antimicrobial peptide R-1 production by a newly isolated Brevibacillus laterosporus Lh-1, Plackett-Burman (PB) design and response surface methodology (RSM) using central composite design was adopted in culture conditions. MINITAB 15.0 was used for planning the experiments, data analysis, contour diagrams and response optimizations. In this study, PB design was undertaken to evaluate the effects of the fifteen factors. By the statistical regression analysis, the significant factors affecting the novel antimicrobial peptide R-1 in submerged fermentation by Br. laterosporus Lh-1 were determined as follows: glucose, peptone and CaCl2. Then a RSM was used to optimize the above critical internal factors, and the optical concentration of the variables were deter-mined as: 15.72 g/L glucose, 6.01 g/L peptone and 3.29 g/L CaCl2. The content of R-1 was increased from 82.15 kU/mL to 116.27 kU/mL.

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of GANT61, as an inhibitor of Gli, on the growth of human esophageal adenocarcinoma cell lines OE19 and OE33, and their mechanisms thereof. Methods After treating with different concentrations of GANT61(30,20,13.333 3,8.888 8,5.925 9,3.950 6,2.633 7,1.755 8,1.170 5μmol/L),the cell viabilities of OE19 and OE33 were detected by MTS method, which expressed by IC50. The Gli1and Gli2 mRNA expressions treated with GANT61(10 μmol/L GANT61) or DMSO for 24 h were detected in OE19 and OE33 cell lines by real time fluorescence quantitative PCR. The protein expressions of Gli1, Gli2 and CyclinD1 treated with GANT61 or DMSO for 24 h were detected in OE19 and OE33 cell lines by Western blot assay. Transwell invasion assay was performed to evaluate the inhibiting effect on OE19 and OE33 cell invasion by the treatment of GANT61 or DMSO. Results The IC50 of GANT61 was 8.08μmol/L in OE19 and 9.65μmol/L in OE33 cells. Compared with DMSO group, Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expressions and Gli1,Gli2 and CyclinD1 protein expressions were significantly decreased in OE19 and OE33 cells of GANT61 group (P<0.05). The number of penetrating cells was significantly reduced in OE19 and OE33 cells of GANT61 group compared with that of DMSO group (P<0.01). Conclusion GANT61 can inhibit the growth and invasion of esophageal neoplasms cells by down-regulating Gli1 and Gli2 mRNA expression,which indicates that Hedgehog signaling pathway may play an important role in carcinogenesis and progression of esophageal adenocarcinoma.

Aim To observe the effect of a treatment proposal named “Golden Triangle” ( Atorvastatin, Tongxinluo,and Aspirin) on the vasa vasorum angio-genesis of early atherosclerosis lesions in rabbits carotid artery. Method Seventy-two healthy New Zealand rabbits with half males and half females were divided into 6 groups randomly ( n =12 ):control group, model group, Tongxinluo group ( TXL ) , atorvastatin group ( ATO ) , aspirin group ( ASP ) , golden triangle group ( ATS) . The control group was fed with common feed-stuff, and all the other groups′ right carotid arteries were equipped with the silicone tube,and were then fed with fatty feedstuff. The Tongxinluo group, the Atorvas-tatin group and the Aspirin group were given suspen-sion of Tongxinluo supermicro powder(0. 3 g·kg-1 · d-1 ) , Atorvastatin ( 2. 5 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) and Aspirin (12 mg·kg-1·d-1),the golden triangle group were given suspension of Tongxinluo supermicropowder (0. 3g·kg-1 ·d-1),atorvastatin(2. 5 mg·kg-1 · d-1 ) and Aspirin ( 12 mg · kg-1 · d-1 ) . All the groups were fed with medicine for 4 weeks. Tissue slice of carotid artery was stained with HE and observed un-der light microscope. The change of blood liquid was detected by biochemical assay. Immunohistochemical staining was used to detect the protein expression of CD34 around the carotid artery adventitia. Color micro-sphere method was used to detect the blood flow vol-ume change of the cartoid artery microvascular. VEFG, VEGFR-2 gene and protein expression in the cartoid artery were detected by Real-time PCR and Western Blot. Result Compared with the control group,the content of VEGF, VEGFR-2 gene and pro-tein expression and the microvascular blood flow vol-ume of cartoid artery microvascular in the model were significantly increased ( P <0. 01 ) . But those in each drug group were lighter than those in the model group (P<0. 01,P <0. 05). In the ATS group,the content of VEGF, VEGFR-2 gene and protein expression and the microvascular blood flow volume of cartoid artery microvascular were lower than those in the TXL, ATO and ASP group ( P <0. 01 , P <0. 05 ) . Compared with the ASP group,the content of VEGFR-2 protein expres-sion was significantly decreased(P<0. 01)in the TXL and ATO group. VEGF,VEGFR-2 gene and protein ex-pression in different subgroups showed no significant difference( P >0. 05 ) . The content of CD34 was de-creased in TongxinLuo group,atorvastatin group,aspirin group and ATS group. Conclusion The ATS project can reduce the expression of VEGF,VEGFR-2, inhibit the vasa vasorum angiogenesis and decrease proinflam-matory substances in the tunica media and intima of vascular wall. It plays an important role in intervening in the process of AS.
