Objective To investigate whether smoking affects metabolism and methylation of arsenic. Methods Six papers about the relation between smoking and arsenic metabolism, methylation were collected until December,2008, and the data were quantitatively analyzed with random and fixed effect models. Results In the group of smoking, the summary weighted mean difference of percent of inorganic in urinary was 0.59 (95% CI:-0.01-1.18). The summary weighted mean difference of percent of MMA in urinary was 2.44 (95%CI:1.95-2.94). The summary weighted mean difference of percent of DMA in urinary was -3.04 (95%CI:-4.01- -2.07). Current evidence suggested that percent of MMA was higher, percent of DMA was lower in smoking or ever smoking group compared with nonsmoking group. Conclusion Smoking may be considered a risk factor for metabolism and methylation of arsenic on human.

Objective To clone human cell division cycle gene 2(CDC2)from human liver cancer tissue and express CDC2 protein in E.coli BL-21(DE3).Methods The total RNA was extracted from liver cancer tissue and amplified by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The PCR products were cloned into the prokaryotic expression vector pET28a(+)followed by DNA sequencing.The recombinant pET28a(+)/CDC2(rCDC2)plasmid was transformed into E.coli.The rCDC2 was induced with IPTG and characterized by SDS-PAGE.Results The cloned CDC2 gene was composed of 894 nucleotides,and is accordance with that reported in GenBank.The prokaryotic expression vector was constructed successfully.The CDC2 protein was successfully expressed in E.coli.Conclusion The CDC2 cDNA is successfully cloned from human liver cancer tissue,and can express in E.coli.

Objective To investigate the effects of target-controlled infusion (TCI)of dexme-detomidine on the median effective concentration of effect-site (Ce50 )of propofol at loss of conscious-ness (LOC)in patients.Methods Sixty-four patients,28 males and 36 females,aged 20-60 years, ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for elective surgery,were randomly allocated to receive dexmedetomidine of 0 ng/ml (group P),dexmedetomidine of 0.4 ng/ml (group D1),dexmedetomi-dine of 0.6 ng/ml (group D2)and dexmedetomidine of 0.8 ng/ml (group D3)for 1 5 min before TCI of propofol,n =1 6 in each group.The propofol infusion was started to provide an effect-site concen-tration of 1.0 μg/ml,and increased by 0.2 μg/ml when propofol effect-site concentration and target concentration were equilibrium until LOC.Results The Ce50 (95%CI )at loss of consciousness in groups P,D1,D2 and D3 were 2.30 (2.24-2.36)μg/ml,1.92 (1.87-1.96 )μg/ml,1.60 (1.55-1.65)μg/ml and 1.41 (1.35-1.45 )μg/ml,respectively.There was a negative correlation between the effect-site concentration of propofol-induced LOC and target concentration of dexmedetomidine (r=-0.84,P <0.01).Compared with groups P,D1 and D2,the incidence of bradycardia was higher in group D3 (P <0.05).Conclusion The Ce50 of propofol-induced LOC gradually decreases with in-creasing target concentration of dexmedetomidine.Combining propofol with dexmedetomidine of 0.4 or 0.6 ng/ml that can reduce the Ce50 of propofol-induced LOC,which is suitable for induction of an-esthesia with a lower incidence of bradycardia.

Objective To evaluate the sedative interaction between dexmedetomidine and propofol.Methods Sixty-four American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-60 yr,with body mass index of 19.0-25.0 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were allocated into 4 groups (n =16 each) using a random number table:different target concentrations of dexmedetomidine groups (D1-4 groups).Dexmedetomidine was administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the Markku model.The target plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine were 0,0.4,0.6 and 0.8 ng/ml in D1-4 groups,respectively.At 15 min of dexmedetomidine TCI,propofol was given by TCI with Schnider model,and the initial target effect-site concentration was set at 1.0 μg/ml.After the target effect-site and plasma concentrations were balanced,the target effect-site concentration of propofol was gradually increased in increments of 0.2 μg/ml until loss of consciousness (Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score was 1).The model of pharmacodynamic interaction was used to analyze the sedative interaction between the two drugs.Results There was no statistically significant difference in residual sums of squares fitted by using the model of pharmacodynamic interaction between the target effect-site concentration of propofol and target plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine at loss of consciousness (P＞0.05).The linear dimensionless parameter of pharmacodynamic interaction was 0.The median effective effect-site concentration of propofol was 2.38 μg/ml at loss of consciousness,and the median effective plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine was 2.03 ng/ml at loss of consciousness.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine and propofol interact additively in terms of sedation.

Objective:To explore the application of self-teaching model based on PBL teaching combined with flipped classroom in standardized residency training of orthopedics.Methods:There were 102 cases of residents who received standardized residency training from March 2017 to February 2018 in orthopedics department of Yueyang Hospital of Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, among whom 55 were randomized into the observation group and 47 were divided into the control group. Traditional teaching was applied in the control group and self-teaching model was applied additionally in the observation group. At the end of the month, the teaching effect was evaluated by the department graduation examinations and questionnaire survey. SPSS 19.0 was used for t test. Results:The ability of history inquiry, diagnosis and physical examination of the residents in the observation group were higher than those in the control group. The self-study and data access ability, confidence in presenting, and satisfaction with teaching in the observation group were better than those in the control group.Conclusion:The self-teaching mode can arouse the learning initiative of residents, and increase residents' literature retrieval ability and their learning satisfaction.

Objective:To compare the clinical outcomes of laparoscopic nephrectomy and open nephrectomy for radical treatment of renal cancer.Methods: Fifty-three patients with renal cell carcinoma(due to receive radical renal tumor resection) were randomly allocated into 2 groups: retroperitoneal laparocopic(RL) group(n=27) and open approach(OA) group(n=26).The operation time,hospital stay,use of painkiller,fasting period after operation,and blood loss during operation were analyzed and compared.All the cases were followed up for 6-12 months and the survival rates,wound healing,and carcinoma metastasis were recorded.Results: Patients in both groups were all successfully treated and their sexes,clinical stages,ages,and tumor sizes were all comparable.The (operation) time was similar in the 2 groups,with that of RL group being(66.66?10.37) min and of OA group being((69.08?)(11.22) min.)The fasting period in RL group([1?0.36] d) was significantly shorter than that in the OA group([2?0.68] d,P

Objective:To explore the improvement effect of tirofiban on the myocardial reperfusion of non-ST segmant elevated myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) patients underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) treatment.Methods:78 NSTEMI patients underwent PCI in our hospital from April 2012 to April 2015 were selected and divided into the observation group (n=38) and the control group (n=40) according to different drugs.Patients in the control group were given asprin,clopidogrel and heparin,while patients in the observation group were additionally given tirofiban.Then the myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) was taken to evluate the myocardial reperfusion.Results:No statistical difference was found in the levels of A,β,A β,CK-MB and cTnⅠ before PCI between 2 groups.The levels of β,A β of observation group were obviously higher,CK-MB and cTnⅠ were obviously lower than those of the control group(P＜0.05).The MACE rate of observation group was 2.63％,which was 5.00％ in the control group,no significant difference was between two groups (P＞0.05).Conclusion:Tirofiban could obviously improve the myocardial reperfusion of NSTEMI patients underwent PCI with high safety.
