Over the years,cerebral vasospasm has been regarded as one of the important factors influencing the prognosis in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.Studies have shown that cerebral vasospasm is associated with nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase after subarachnoid hemorrhage,and regulating the synthesis of nitric oxide may play an active role in the treatment of cerebral vasospasm.

Objective To investigate the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-D(PDGF-D) and bascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in gastric carcinoma and elucidate the potential relationship between their overexpression and clinical pathological characteristics.Methods Immunohistochemical assay was performed to detect the protein expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in tissues.Semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was performed to evaluate the mRNA expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in part of random selecting gastric carcinoma samples.The correlation between the expression of PDGF-D and VEGF,and the relationship between the expression of PDGF-D,VEGF and the clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The protein expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal gastric mucosa(P

OBJECTIVE: To optimize the preparation process of Xiangsha Liujun Granule. METHODS: By the orthogonal design. taking the rates of recovery of volatile oil, Ginsenoside Re and qualified granules as the indexes, we optimized the oil extracting conditions, the decocting conditions and the conditions of granulation by spayer. RESULTS: The optimum oil ex- tracting conditions for four kinds of herbs(Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae etc.) were that water was 30 times of herbs in weight, soaking time was 3 hours and extracting time 15 hours. The optimum decocting conditions for four kinds of herbs(Fuling etc.) were that water was 15 times of herbs in weight, soaking time was 3 hours and decocting time 4 hours, herbs were decocted twice. The optimum conditions of granulation by sprayer were that the fliud extract was 2 times of Dextrin in weight, the rel- ative density of the fliud extract was 1. 30(measured at 25℃), the voltage of sprayer was 120 volts, the period of shaking bag was 65 times(shaking bag back and forth twice in each period). CONCLUSION: The results of the experiment make it clear that the preparation process of Xiangsha Liu jun Granule is stable and feasible.

Objective To investigate the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-D (PDGF-D) and bascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in gastric carcinoma and elucidate the potential relationship between their overex-pression and clinical pathological characteristics. Methods Immunohistochemical assay was performed to detect the protein expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in tissues. Semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain re-action (RT-PCR) was performed to evaluate the mRNA expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in part of random selec-ting gastric carcinoma samples. The correlation between the expression of PDGF-D and VEGF, and the relationship between the expression of PDGF-D, VEGF and the clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed. Results The protein expression of PDGF-D and VEGF in gastric carcinoma tissues were significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues and normal gastric mucosa(P <0.05) ;The expression of PDGF-D and VEGF correlated with TNM staging, depth of invasion and lymphatic metastasis (P < 0.05), while the expression of PDGF-D also correlated to histolog-ical differentiation (P < 0.05). There was a significant positive correlation between PDGF-D and VEGF at the mR-NA and protein expression levels (P < 0.05). Conclusion PDGF-D and VEGF specifically highly expressed in gastric carcinoma. The abnormal expression may play an important role in the carcinogenesis and metastasis of gas-tric carcinoma.

Objective To investigate the influence of hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT) on blood pressure (BP) and the incidence of rebleeding in patients with hypertensive intracranial hemorrhage (HICH)Methods One hundred and twenty patients with HICH were treated for 60 min with 100% oxygen at 2.0 absolute atmospheres (ATA) daily when the condition was stable and BP was controlled ideally. Blood pressure was measured before the patients were sent into the HBO chamber and remeasured following completion of each HBOT session and 1 hour later. Rebleeding was monitored during and after each HBO session . Results HBOT caused a significant elevation of systolic BP in 25.83% (31/120) patients and a significant decrease in 16.67% (20/120) patients (P ＜0. 05 ),whereas the rest 57.5% (69/120) patients had no significant changes,when the BP was measured right after the HBOT session. The mean diastolic BP increased in 69 (57. 50% ) patients and decreased in 4. 17%(5/120) patients (P ＜ 0. 05 ), whereas we found no significant changes in the rest 46 (38. 33% ) patients. No differences were found in the comparison of BP before and 1 hour after the HBOT session and no one suffered from rebleeding during and after HBOT session. Conclusions HBOT may cause temporal blood pressure changes in most patients with HICH, however, it will not cause an increasing incidence of rebleeding if the patient's condition is stable and the blood pressure has been well controlled.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of the gap above the splenic pedicle in laparoscopic splenectomy (LS).Methods The retrospective cohort study was conducted.The clinical data of 189 patients who underwent LS in the Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology between August 2012 and March 2015 were collected.Among 189 patients receiving splenic pedicle division,42 without the application of the gap above the splenic pedicle were allocated into the group A and 147 with the application of the gap above the splenic pedicle were allocated into the group B.Observation indicators included:(1) operation situations:combined operation,operation time (excluding combined operation time),volume of intraoperative blood loss (excluding blood volume of spleen),cases with conversion to open surgery;(2) postoperative situations:time to initial anal exsufflation,time for fluid diet intake,occurrence of postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay;(3) follow-up.Patients were followed up by telephone interview and outpatient examination up to August 2016.Follow-up included routine blood test,coagulation function,liver function,with or without long-term complications.Measurement data with normal distribution were represented as x±s and comparison between groups was analyzed using the t test.Comparisons of count data were analyzed by the chi-square test.Results (1) Operation situations:of 189 patients undergoing LS,136 combined with laparoscopic pericardial devascularization,13 combined with laparoscopic cholecys-tectomy,9 combined with laparoscopic radio frequency ablation (RFA) of liver tumors and 26 combined with pathological examination using laparoscopic liver tissues sampling.Operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and cases with conversion to open surgery were (118±31) minutes,(80±38) mL,2 in the group A and (70± 22) minutes,(50± 28) mL,1 in the group B,respectively,with statistically significant differences between the 2 groups (t =12.579,-8.516,x2=4.912,P＜0.05).(2) Postoperative situations:time to initial anal exsufflation,time for fluid diet intake,number of patients with postoperative complications and duration of hospital stay were (22± 10)hours,(3.1 ± 1.3) days,8,(9±3)days in the group A and (23±11)hours,(3.8±1.8)days,13,(8±3)days in the group B,respectively.Pancreatic fistula,intra-abdominal hemorrhage,asymptomatic portal vein thrombosis,pulmonary infection and intraperitoneal infection were respectively detected in 2,2,2,1,1 patients in the group A and 1,2,5,2,3 patients in the group B.There was no significant difference in time to initial anal exsufflation,time for fluid diet intake and duration of hospital stay between the 2 groups (t =1.102,0.745,0.583,P＞0.05),and a statistically significant difference in number of patients with postoperative complications between the 2 groups (x2 =7.259,P＜ 0.05).There were statistically significant differences in cases with pancreatic fistula and intra abdominal hemorrhage (x2=16.021,5.812,P＜0.05) and no significant difference in cases with asymptomatic portal vein thrombosis,pulmonary infection and intraperitoneal infection (x2 =1.391,0.396,0.865,P＞0.05).Patients with postoperative complications were cured by symptomatic treatment.(3) Follow-up:156 of 189 patients (33 in the group A and 123 in the group B) were followed up for 1-18 months,with an average time of 12 months.During the follow-up,13 patients had recurrent hematemesis and melena,including 3 in the group A and 10 in the group B.Eight patients stopped bleeding after conservative treatment,3 stopped bleeding after proxial gastrectomy and 2 died of excessive bleeding and organ failure.Conclusion Splenic pedicle division using Endo-GIA through the gap above the splenic pedicle in LS can reduce operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,rate of conversion to open surgery and postoperative complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram on early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of brain injury caused by neonatal asphyxia.Methods A total of 34 full-term asphyxiated neonates(asphyxia group)hospitalized in NICU of our hospital from January 2015 to September 2015 were selected;meanwhile,34 full-term healthy infants(control group)of the same term were selected.All cases were monitored for the activities of aEEG background,sleep-awakening cycle(SWC)and epileptic activity(SA)within 6 hours after birth.Meanwhile,the relationships between various indexes and asphyxia degree and brain injury were analyzed.Results The electroencephalogram of the asphyxia group was 52.9％and the rate of SWC was 58.8％,which were lower than those of the control group,and the difference had statistic significance(P<0.05).Meanwhile,neonates with epileptic activity in asphyxia group accounted for 11.8％,which was higher than that of control group significantly(P<0.05).Conclusion The AEEG changes of neonates at early period after birth are closely related to perinatal asphyxia and brain injury after asphyxia.The application of amplitude integrated electroencephalogram has an important significance on early diagnosis of neonatal asphyxia.

Objective To discuss the histology change,apoptosis state and Bcl-2,Bax expression after the bone cement leakage into the intervertebral disc in vertebroplasty.Methods Eight majority canis familiaris were studied.Three lumbar intervertebral discs(L2 to L5)in each dog were randomly classified into three groups(control group,PMMA group,and CPC group),the canine discs were stabbed by 18-gauge needle,and 0.1 ml cement was injected into them.Control discs were only stabbed and injected with nothing.Histology of all discs was studied 24 weeks after the operation.Terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated nick end labeling(TUNEL)and immunohistochemisty were used to detect apoptosis and Bcl-2,Bax expression in the discs.The data were statistically analyzed by SPSS 12.0.Results Intervertebral disc degeneration was not found in control groups.In bone cement groups,however,ruptured or serpentine patterned fibers,decreased cellularity of the nucleus pulposus and condensed matrix of the nucleus pulposus were found in histologic results.The Bax protein decreased in the order of control group, CPC group,and PMMA group.However,the Bcl-2 protein increased in the order of control group,CPC group,and PMMA group.The histology grade was significantly different among the three groups under ANOVA analysis(P

D (A:the amount of water added. B: the alcohol concentration in the fluidextract of herbs. C: decoction time, D: decoction times). The optimum decoction condition obtained was: adding water (12 times as much as medicine), decocting twice 1.5 hours each time, merging the filtrate, concentrating the merged filtrate into extract with a relative density of 1.20 (measured at 85℃), then adding alcohol slowly, and making the concentration of alcohol in the fluidextract come to 80%. Conclusion: The optimized process is stable and feasible.
