Objective To investigate the effect of eosinophils(EOS)in asthmatic guinea pigs airway and explore the mechanism of antiasthma by inhaled arsenic trioxide. Methods The guinea pigs asthma models were established with ovalbumin(OVA)challenge method,2 groups received inhaled different doses of arsenic trioxide,and three control groups respectively received normal saline inhaled and high dose of arsenic trioxide by intraperitoneal injection and dexamethasone(DEX)intraperitoneally. EOS invaded and apoptosis with all of the groups were assessed after 7 days intraperitoneal injection or inhalation. Results Compared with group of inhaled normal saline, both EOS invaded and apoptosis in bronchus submuconsa were significantly different(P0.05)among groups of inhaled low dose arsenic trioxide [2.0 mg(kg?d)]and intraperitoneal injection with higher dose arsenic trioxide[5.0 kg/(kg?d)]and DEX[10 mg/(kg?d)]for these two parameters. Conclusions The mechanism of arsenic trioxide antiasthma with arsenic trioxide can decrease EOS amount in bronchial submucosa and accelerate EOS apoptosis, and relieve bronchial inflammation in asthma. For inhaled lower dose arsenic trioxide or intraperitoneal injection with high dose arsenic trioxide ,the effect of EOS is equivalent. The antiasthma effect of inhaled lower dose arsenic trioxide[2.0 mg/(kg?d)]is equivalent to intraperitoneal injection higher dose[5.0 mg/(kg?d)],and may be safe comparatively. The mechanism of antiasthma by inhaled arsenic trioxide is the same with DEX.

AIM:To explore the cataract suspensory ligament rupture and artificial lens implantation suture fixation into capsular bag without capsular tension ring(CTR).METHODS:We reviewed 20 cases of 20 cataract suspensory ligament rupture without CTR intraocular lens (IOL) implantation fixation in our department from Jan.2012 to Dec.2016.The needle crossed into ocular ciliary sulcus, in the equator of the eye ball which suspensory ligament rupture from, then the needle crossed out 1.5mm away from the angle of sclera.Sutures fixed on the IOL, then the artificial lens implantation in the pouch, carried out in accordance with the Z type suture, or to the beforehand prepared triangle scleral flap.The visual acuity, intraocular pressure, the anterior chamber and the IOL position were measured after operations.RESULTS:All of the postoperative visual acuity improved different level.The postoperative best corrected visual acuity(BCVA) was ≥0.8 in 4 eyes(20%), 0.5-0.6 in 7 eyes(35%), 0.3-0.4 in 8 eyes(40%), 0.1 in 1 eye(5%) because of the glaucoma optic atrophy.There were 12 cases with mild corneal endothelium edema, 4 cases exudation membrane in the pupil area, 2 cases hyphema, all of which recovered after treatment.There were 2 eyes with vitreous prolapse in the pupil, 1 case appeared mild IOL center deviation and no special treatment for the vision did not be involved.Followed up for 6mo, displaced stitches or artificial lens shift did not occur.CONCLUSION:Without CTR, the IOL implantation and suture fixation in capsular bag during cataract surgery is a surgical method for basic-level hospitals.

Trehalose is a naturally occurring non-reducing disaccharide. This sugar has been known as a protector of biomembrane and macromolecules. And it has been widely used in foods, medicines, cosmetics. Trehalose synthase (TreS) is an intramolecular transglycosylase. It can catalyze the conversion of maltose into trehalose in one step. As the simple protocol and cheap substrate, it is very prospect in the industrial production. Here we have discussed the properties, catalytic mechanism and gene-engineering of TreS, and also proposed some solutions to its present research problems.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of using stroke volume variation (SVV) as the left ventricular preload to draw the cardiac function curve.Methods Twenty-seven patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ (New York Heart Association Ⅱ),with abnormal cardiac function,scheduled for elective offpany coronary artery byp grafting,were enrolled in this study.Twenty-five patients,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ (New York Heart Association Ⅰ),with normal cardiac function,scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery,were also enrolled in this study.SVV and SV were monitored by using a FloTrac/VigileoTM system.The patients were in the supine position from the end of anesthesia induction to the beginning of surgery.After the hemodynamics was kept stable for 5 min,SVV and SV were recorded.6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 500 ml was intravenously infused over 20 min.SVV and SV were recorded after volume expansion.Spearman rank-order correlation was used to analyze the relationship between SVV and SV.The quadratic regression analysis was used to draw the SVV-SV curve,and the SVV-SV curve was compared with the Frank-Starling curve.Results Compared with the value before volume expansion,SVV and HR were significantly decreased,and SV was increased after volume expansion in the patients with normal cardiac function,and SVV was decreased after volume expansion in the patients with abnormal cardiac function (P＜0.01).SVV was negatively correlated with SV in the patients with normal cardiac function,and r=-0.467 (P＜0.05).SVV was negatively correlated with SV in the patients with abnormal cardiac function,and r=-0.378 (P＜0.05).The mirror symmetry was found between the SVV-SV curve in the patients with normal cardiac function and the normal Frank-Starling curve,and the general trend was close.The symmetry was not detected between the SVV-SV curve in the patients with abnormal cardiac function and the Frank-Starling curve in the patients with decreased myocardial contractility,and the general trend was not close.Conclusion For the patients with normal cardiac function,SVV can be used as the left ventricular preload to draw the cardiac function curve.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients by meta-analysis.

METHODSFrom January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2013, clinical literatures about postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients,were searched from the Pubmed. Literature extract table were formed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stata-12.0 was applied for Meta-analysis. P was used to test heterogeneity of study, random-effect model was performed when I2 > 50%. Subgroup analysis was used according to stage of age, assessment scale of delirium and statistical area of literature. Begg test was used to test publication bias.

RESULTSTwenty-one literatures were included. Incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients by weighted and combination was 17% [95% CI (16%, 18%)]. Incidence of postoperative delirium after optional hip surgery was decreased more than emergency operation in included 5 literatures [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.22, 0.45)]. Incidence of postoperative delirium in patients less than 80 years old was 21% [95% CI (19%, 23%)], while 21% [95% CI (19%, 24%)] in patients more than 80 years old. Incidence of postoperative delirium in CAM evaluation scale was 23% [95% CI (21%, 26%)], while 19% [95% CI (17%, 21%)] in other evaluation scales. Incidence of postoperative delirium in Asian area was 17% [95% CI (15%, 20%)], while 23% [95% CI (21%, 25%)] in European and American area. There was no publication bias tested by Begg test (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIncidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients increases higher, especially in emergency operation. A standardizing research method is benefit for evaluate incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients, decreasing heterogeneity and publication bias.
