Objective To investigate the change in heat shock protein 70(HSP7O) in the brain tissue of fetal and newborn rats after prenatal hypoxic adaptation and the possible mechanism of the protective effect. Methods Twenty-two 22d pregnant Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: GroupⅠ(hypoxic adaptation group) and group Ⅱ(control group). The animals in group Ⅰ were placed in a tightly closed hypoxic adaptation chamber, of which the oxygen and carbon dioxide concentrations were monitored. The pregnant rats were taken out and exposed to fresh air for 5 mm when the 02 % in the chamber was reduced to 15 %, then the pregnant rats were placed back in the chamber and the above process was repeated once. The animals were then left for their natural labor. In control group the pregnant rats underwent the same process but the chamber was not tightly closed(O2 %= 21 %). Prenatal rats were delivered by cesarean section at lb. 3h, 8h, 24h, 48h, 72h, 120h and 168h after hypoxic adaptation and decapitated and brain was removed. Seven newborn rats from each group were decapitated and brain was removed for determination of HSP70 expression with immunohistochimical technique. Results No HSP7O expression was observed in the brain tissue of normal prenatal and newborn rats. HSP70 was observed in the different regions of hippocampus and cortex from 8h to 168h after hypoxic adaptation. Strongest HSP70 expression was observed in hippocampus CAl . Conclusions HSP70 plays a role in the formation of prenatal hypoxic adaptation.

Objective To assess Chinese parental requirement for relieving their preoperative anxiety,and their attitudes regarding the measures reducing their anxiety and to investigate the possible factors associated with increased anxiety.Methods One hundred and four pairs of pediatric patients (aged 2-12 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ) undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia and their parents were enrolled in this study.The general data of the pediatric patients and their parents and parental requirement for relieving their preoperative anxiety,and their attitudes regarding the measures reducing their anxiety were obtained using a questionnaire.Parental and children's anxiety? levels were assessed using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and modified Yale Preoperative Anxiety Scale (m-YPAS),respectively.Results Parental anxiety levels were positively correlated with the children's anxiety levels (r =0.254).Parental desires to relieve their own anxiety under the personal direction of medical staff were significantly higher than the desires for the other measures; parental desires to relieve their own anxiety through parent-present induction of anesthesia (PPIA) were significantly lower than the desires for the other measures.The factors influencing parental attitudes included gender,educational level,preoperative anxiety level,and preoperative children' s anxiety level.Conclusion To relieve Chinese parental anxiety before surgery,the anesthesiologists should be aware that the majority of parents have a high desire to receive verbal instructions from medical staff before surgery was performed on their children and should provide enough information related to anesthesia and surgery; when PPIA is applied,parental desire for PPIA should be taken into full account; the anesthesiologists offer support and comfort for the parents properly.

Objective:To explore the effects of scout scanning parameters (projection angle and tube potential) on image quality and radiation dose in chest CT and to provide guidance for the selection of scanning parameters in clinical practice.Methods:Different parameter combinations were selected to acquire the scout view of the anthropomorphic adult chest phantom. Fifteen scout views were obtained under parameter combinations of the projection angle (0/90/180 degrees), tube potential (70/80/100/120/140 kV) and tube current (25 mA). And then, chest spiral scans were performed according to the scout views. The other parameters were Assist kV, smart mA (maximum range), 80 mm detector width, 0.992∶1 pitch, 0.5 s rotation time, 330 mm scanning length, 5 mm thickness, NI (noise index) 10. The radiation dose modulation index (ASiR-V) was 30%, and the iterative level was 50%. Volume CT dose index (CTDI vol) and tube current at 4 body levels (pulmonary apex, trachea bifurcation, mammary level and diaphragmatic dome) were recorded. The thermoluminescent dosimeters (TLDs) were used to measure the organ dose of the breast glandular. Regions of interest (ROIs)were selected at the trachea bifurcation and diaphragmatic dome to calculate the contrast noise ratio (CNR). Results:The tube potential of the spiral scanning was automatically selected as 80 kV when the projection angle was 0 degree. The changing of the tube potential for the scout had little influence on the tube current at the four body levels, and the variation range was 0-2% (5/230). The tube potential in the spiral scanning was automatically selected as 100 kV when the projection angles were 90 and 180 degrees. The changing of the tube potential for the scout had a great influence on the tube current at the slice of trachea bifurcation and the variation range was from 14%(29/210)to 44%(93/210). According to the angle projection, there were statistical differences in CTDI vol( P< 0.017), organ dose of the breast glandular, and CNR at the slices of trachea bifurcation and at diaphragmatic dome ( F=13.027, 24.727, 10.630, P< 0.05). According to the tube potential in the scout scanning, there were no significant differences in CTDI vol, organ dose of the breast glandular and CNR at both levels ( P> 0.05). Conclusions:In chest CT, the influence of the projection angle in scout scanning on the image quality and radiation dose was more significant than that of the tube potential.

AIM: To analyze the effect of pigment epithelium derived factor (PEDF) on nitrogen monoxide (NO) and expression of cysteine-containing, aspartate-specific proteases-3 (caspase-3) in retinal tissues of model rats with optic nerve crush injury.METHODS: A total of 60 SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group, model group and PEDF group, with 20 rats in each group.Except the blank control group, the optic nerve crush injury rat models were established in the other groups, and left eyeballs were taken as samples.After successfully modeling, the model group were treated with intravitreal injection of 5μL of balanced salt solution while PEDF group were treated with intravitreal injection of 5μL of PEDF (0.2μg/μL).Two weeks later, the retinal tissues were collected, and changes of shape were observed under microscope after HE staining.The changes of NO level were measured by colorimetry assay, the expression of caspase-3 mRNA and caspase-3 protein was detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western-blot.RESULTS: HE staining showed that retinal tissues of the blank control group arranged neatly and clearly.Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) arranged in a monolayer, and cells were oval, uniform in size and distribution, the cell nuclei were clear, closely arranged, with clear boundaries.The retinal tissues of the model group were sparse in shape, RGCs showed vacuolar changes, the overall number of cells was reduced, and cell nuclei of residual RGCs showed pyknosis and uneven staining.RGCs in PEDF group were with slightly edema and arranged closely, and the degree of injury was significantly milder than that in the model group.Levels of Caspase-3 mRNA and protein and NO levels in the three groups showed the model group > PEDF group > blank control group (all P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: The application of PEDF can down regulate the expression of Caspase-3 and NO in rates with optic nerve injury and reduce RGCs injury.

Objective To study the expression of secondary lymphoid-tissue chemokine (SLC)、 CCR7 and its correlation with clinical pathology and lymphangiogenesis in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PAC). Methods The tissue specimens including PAC, the cancerous peripheral tissues, the normal pancreatic tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were obtained from 30 patients with PAC. The expressions of SLC and CCR7 in these tissues were assayed by immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). MIND marked by VEGFR-3 was detected by morphometric analysis, and the relationship between MLND and clinical pathology of PAC was analyzed. Results In all the specimens, the positive rates of SLC protein in PAC, the cancerous peripheral tissues, the normal pancreatic tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were respectively 16. 7%, 43. 3%, 76. 7% and 46. 6%. The positive rates of CCR7 protein in PAC, the cancerous peripheral tissues, the normal pancreatic tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were respectively 76. 7%, 66. 7%, 30. 0% and 70. 0%. The results of RT-PCR and fluorescence quantitative real-time PCR indicated that the expression levels of CCR7 mRNA in PAC tissues, the cancerous peripheral tissues and peripheral lymph nodes were higher than that in the normal pancreatic tissues ( P <0. 01 ). There was no significant correlation between the expression of SLC protein with MLVD of PAC ( P > 0. 05 ). There was 23 specimens that the CCR7 protein was positive, and among these specimens the MIND was higher than that in negative group of CCR7 protein (P = 0.004). Conclusions The expression of SLC was not related to lymphatic metastasis and TNM stages of PAC. The expression of CCR7 was significantly associated with lymphatic metastasis and TNM stages of PAC, and the high expression of CCR7 in PAC tissues was significantly associated with lymphangiogenesis of PAC.

Objective To assess efficacy and safety of enhanced rehabilitation program for patients with colorectal cancer surgery. Methods One hundred and ten consecutive patients admitted to general surgery department at Beijing Chaoyang Hospital during October 2007 to October 2009 undergone with fasttrack colorectal cancer surgery and enhanced rehabilitation were prospectively studied, with 117 patients undergone with same colorectal cancer surgery by traditional perioperative treatment during May 2005 to September 2007 as controls. Restoration of their gastrointestinal function, occurrence of complications, fatality and length of hospital stay after surgical operation were observed in the group of enhanced rehabilitation and control group. Results Demographic characteristics, stage classification of illness and surgical operation methods were comparable in both groups. The first day with air discharge from the flux was earlier in enhanced rehabilitation group than that in controls (2. 5 vs. 3. 5 day after surgery, P ＜ 0. 05 ), and the former could tolerate solid food earlier than the latter (6.0 vs. 6.7 days after surgery, P=0.028). Overall morbidity of complications was less in the group with enhanced rehabilitation than that in controls (23.6% vs. 39. 3%,P =0. 011 ) and shorter length of hospital stay was observed in the former than that in the latter (9. 0 vs. 10. 8 days after surgery, P =0. 041 ). There was no difference in mortality, incidence of anastomotic leakage, and infectious and non-infectious complications between the two groups. Conclusions Enhanced rehabilitation program is safe and effective following colorectal cancer surgery to accelerate restoration of gastrointestinal function, reduce complications and shorten hospital stay after colorectal cancer surgery.

Objective Toinvestigate the role of dynamic dispersion of electrical recovery in ventricular fibrillation maintenance mechanism.Method Thirty-seren male Yorkshire pigs weighing (23?2.5) kg at 3 months age were randomly divided into Sham-operated group and myocardial infarction group in which the first branch of left anterior descending coronary artery of animals was hgated.After 4 weeks,according to VF occurrence by programmed electrical simulation,the myocardial infarction hearts were divided into two groups, twelve hearts in VF (+) group or six hearts in VF (-) group;and the normal hearts were divided into two groups,five hearts in VF (+) group or ten hearts in VF (-) group.Action potential duration (APD) of subendocardial,subepicardial and mid-layer myocardium of left ventricular anterior wall were recorded simultaneously.The relationship between APD and diastolic interval was quantified as an electrical restitution curve.A Student's-test was used to specify differences between groups.Results At the fourth week after coronary artery ligation,eighteen myocardial infarction hearts and fifteen normal hearts were investigated.When investigating transmural dispersion of reporlarization (TDR) of left ventricle,there was no difference between VF (+) group and VF (-) group [ (20.43?7.01) ms vs (22.32?7.53) ms,P=0.45],although there was statistically significant between normal hearts and myocardial infarction hearts [ (15.66?4.45) ms vs (25.72?6.70) ms,P =0.001].The percentage of APD restitution slope exceed 1 and APD restitution slope maximum were high in the VF (+) group with myocardial infarction hearts and in the VF (+) group with normal hearts, lower in the the VF (-) with normal hearts and lowest in the the VF (-) group with myocardial infarction hearts.Conclusion Dynamic APD restitution properties may play an important role in the ventricular fibrillation maintenance mechanism.The APD restitution slope and not static TDR have prognostic value regarding ventricular fibrillation events.The hearts with the steepest of APD restitution curves has the greatest liability of ventricular fibrillation to happen.
