1.Progress of relationship between diabetes and papillary thyroid cancer
Chinese Journal of Diabetes 2017;25(7):670-672
Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common type in thyroid carcinomas.Recently,the prevalence and diagnostic rate of PTC has got significantly high with the general use of ultrasound.Nowadays,more and more studies have suggested that the coexistence of PTC and diabetes is common.They indicated that hyperglycemia would induce the deterioration of oxidative stress injury,chronic inflammation,insulin resistance,obesity,dyslipidemia,deficiency of vitamin D and dysimmunity.All of these may break the balance of oxidation and antioxidation and result in disordering signal pathway,accumulation of inflammatory cytokines,over activating of insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1,changing the metabolic pathways,which will promote the occurrence and progression of PTC.

Objective To compare the analgesia and side-effects of different concentrations of sufentanil combined with 0.125% ropivacaine for postoperative epidural analgesia after general thoracic surgery.Methods Thirty-six ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients (25 males, 11 females) ages 21-64 yrs weighing 42-79 kg undergoing elective general thoracic surgery under general anesthesia were randomly assigned to receive patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with 0.125% ropivacaine combined with sufentanil 0.4 (group A, n = 12) , 0.5 (group B, n = 12) or 0.6 ?g?ml-1 (group C, n = 12) . Epidural catheter was placed at T7,8 or T8,9 interspace. The PCEA pump was set up with back ground infusion of 2 ml?h-1 , a3ml bolus dose and a 30-min lock-out period. VAS scores was used to assess analgesia at rest and during movement. The total bolus doses, PCEA button pressing times (effective/actual), vital signs including MAP, HR, respiratory rate, SpO2 and side effects (nausea, vomiting, pruritus and dyspnea) were recorded. Results During the 48 hours after operation the VAS scores in group C were significantly lower than those in group A and B ( P

OBJECTIVEDesign and make triple cannula dual-lumen vacuum extractor to improve effect of decompression in operation of intestinal obstruction.
METHODSTriple cannula dual-lumen vacuum extractor was applied in 32 patients who underwent operation of intestinal obstruction from 2012 to 2015 in our hospital. The effect of intestinal decompression and patient prognosis were observed.
RESULTS32 patients that used triple cannula dual-lumen vacuum extractor had good recovery except for one patient abdominal incision with fatty liquefaction. The other patients had one-stage healed without any complication such as intestinal fistula, abdominal infection etc.
CONCLUSIONApplication of triple cannula dual-lumen vacuum extractor in operation for intestinal decompression could avoid contamination of abdomen and injury of intestinal mucosa, which had satisfied effect of intestinal decompression and promoted the effect of operation for intestinal obstruction.

Objective To study the role of cutaneous nerve and protease activated receptor 2 (PAR2)in the development of pruritus in atopic dermatitis(AD).Methods Dermal sheets were prepared from chronically pruritic skin lesions of 7 patients with AD,as well as from the normal skin of 7 healthy human controls.Double labeled immunofluorescence was performed using mouse anti-protein gene product 9.5(PGP9.5)monoclonal antibody and rabbit anti-substance P(SP)polyclonal antibody to observe the morphological changes in cutaneous nerve fibers,and Image-Pro Plus 6 software was used to semiquantitively assess the length,diameter of nerve fibers,integral optimal density of PAR2 and SP in dermal sheets.Results Immunofluoresence double staining showed that PAR2 co-expressed with PGP9.5 or SP in cutaneous nerve fibers.Compared with the normal control skin,both the total length and average diameter of PGP 9.5-expressing nerve fibers were increased(11051.8±1900.9 μm vs 7264.0±2659.9 μm,4.23±0.15 μm vs 3.95±0.15 μm,both P<0.01)in pruritic lesions,while only the average diameter of SP-expressing nerve fibers was up-regulated(3.99±0.20 μm vs 3.80±0.07 μm,P<0.05),and the total length of them remained unchanged(4304.7±1455.0 μm vs 3380.0±1735.4 μm,P>0.05).Also,increased integral optimal density was observed for SP and PAR in pruritic lesions in comparison with the normal control skin (27.71±16.52 vs 12.63±4.31.35.99±8.63 vs 22.69±9.56.both P<0.05).Conclusion Our results indicate a hyper-plasia of cutaneous nerve fibers in chronic itchv skin lesions of AD and an increase in the expression of PAR2 and SP in the cutaneous nerve fibers,suggesting that the signal enhancement in PAR2 pathway may be related to the mechanism of pruritus in patients with AD.

Objective Clinical parenteral nutrition( PN) support still lacks in standards on some degree .This paper was to analyze the clinical application of PN support in our hospital in order to provide the basis for clinical rational drug use . Methods Random weighting method was applied to collect 5% hospitalized patients′information from each patient unit each month from April 2012 to March 2013 in Nanjing Gerneral Hospital of Nanjing Military Region .NRS-2002 nutrition risk screening was applied to eval-uate whether the patient needed PN support .Statistical analysis were carried out on patients supported with parenteral nutrition from department distribution, PN detailed components and distribution intervals of aII in one admixture non-protein calorie and nitrogen ra-tio. Results According to the survey, 393 patients had received PN support, including 217 cases′NRS score <3 and 176 cases′NRS score ≥3.General surgery department ranked the first in the cases of usingall in oneadmixture support.Among 133 cases receiving all in one admixture support, the course of 37 cases(27.82%) <7 d.The aII in one admixture non-protein calorie and ni-trogen ratio(100~150∶1) only took up 28.57%. Conclusion Although PN has got wide application in clinical departments, the rationality of prescription should be strengthened .Pharmacists should help doctors set up appropriate prescription from the aspect of pharmacy.
