0.05).Conclusion Epidural anesthesia with 0.75% ropivacaine and 0.5% levobupivacaine for cesarean section may produce equivalent clinical effects.Pharmacokinetic parameters of them are similar,with a good prospect for clinical application.

Forty-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were refered to 3 groups:type 2 DM without diabetic nephropathy (DN),type 2 DM with DN in the initial stage and type 2 DM with DN in the clinical stage.Ten healthy subjects were served as control group.Plasma adrenomedullin (ADM),urinary?_1- microglobulin (MG) and?_2-MG were detected.The results showed that the level of plasma ADM rose gradually with the development of DN and was positively correlated with markers of tubulointerstiial injury such as urinary?_1- MG and?_2-MG (both P

Objective To evaluate the usage of renoportal anastomosis in the liver transplanta- tion.Method The successful experience about renoportal anastomosis for portal vein reconstruction in liver transplantation was reported,and related literature reviewed.Results Including our case,there have been 13 cases of liver transplantation using renoportal anastomosis for portal vein reconstruction. Among these patients,8 cases were complicated with diffuse portal vein thrombosis,and 10 cases had a splenorenal shunt(spontaneous shunt in 3 and surgical shunt in 7).Complications related to portal vein hypertension occurred in 3 cases(transient ascites in 2 cases and severe digestive bleeding in 1 case)after liver transplantation.There were 3 deaths which were not related to renoportal anastomo- sis.Conclusion Renoportal anastomosis is a safe and feasible technique in liver transplantation for the patients with diffuse portal vein thrombosis or with splenorenal shunt(spontaneous or surgical shunt).

Objective To study the effects of salt sensitivity on evolution of blood pressure and develope- ment to hypertension from adolescents to youth.Methods A baseline survey was carried out in 4623 adolescents aged 6-15 years old in Hanzhong rural area in 1987,310 of them were recruited for determination of salt sensitiv- ity using the tests of oral saline load and furosemide sodium-volume depletion.Salt sensitivity (SS) were diag- nosed in 101 while 209 subjects as no-sah sensitivity (NSS).This cohort of adolescents were followed up for av- erage 18 years.Results The response rate for this cohort of adolescents was 71.9%.At the end of follow up period,BP in subjects with baseline SS was higher in youth than that in NSS (SBP:122.9?13.1 vs 117.3?12.4, P

Niemann-Pick disease type C (NPC) is a fatal,neurovisceral lipid storage disease,neuropathologically characterized by cytoplasmic sequestration of glycolipids in neurons,progressive neuronal loss,neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs) formation,and axonal spheroids (AS).Cytoskeletal pathology including accumulation of hyperphosphorylated cytoskeletal proteins is a neuropathological hallmark of the mouse model of NPC (npc mice).With a goal of elucidating the mechanisms underlying the lesion formation,we investigated the temporal and spatial characteristics of cytoskeletal lesions and the roles of cdc2,cdk4,and cdk5 in lesion formation in young npc mice.Cytoskeletal lesions were detectable in npc mice at three weeks of age.Importantly,concomitant activation of cdc2/cyclin B 1 kinase and accumulation of a subsequently generated cohort of phospho-epitopes were detected.The activation of cdk4/cyclin D1 and cdk5/p25 kinases was observed during the fourth week of life in npc mice,and this activation contributed to the lesion formation.We concluded that the progression of cytoskeletal pathology in npc mice older than four weeks is accelerated by the cumulative effect of cdc2,cdk4,and cdk5 activation.Furthermore,cdc2/cyclin B1 may act as a key initial player one week earlier.Targeting cell cycle activation may be beneficial to slow down the NPC pathogenesis.

· AlM: To observe the characteristic of choroidal circulation in diabetics and investigate its changes as well as the relationship between it and the development and progression of diabetic retinopathy ( DR) .
·METHODS:All 45 diabetics were divided into 3 groups:no diabetic retinopathy ( NDR), nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy ( NPDR ) , proliferative diabetic retinopathy ( PDR);and 20 health people were selected to be control group.All subjects were examined by FFA and indocyaine green angiography ( lCGA ) ( Heidelberg retina tomography, Germany ) at the same time. The characteristics of angiograph results were comparatively observed and the feature of diabetic choroidapathy were analyzed.
· RESULTS: ( 1 ) There were no significant differences between DR groups and control group in the central retinal artery ( CRA ) filling time.There were significant decreases of the choroidal artery filling time in DR groups, compared to the control group (P<0.05).(2) ln all DR groups, the more serious DR, the bigger proportion of reverse filling.( 3 ) With more serious DR, the ratio increased gradually in early phase of choroidal filling deficiency angiograph and in the late phase of spot hyperfluorescence.
·CONCLUSlON:lCGA may be a useful adjunct to FFA in the evaluation of choroidal vascular changes in DR.The research provides that the diabetic choroidal circulation was abnormal before the occurrence of DR, which fully proved the presence of diabetic choroidopathy.

Objective It has become more important to protect brain function in operation and post-operation period with the developmen of surgery therapy for congenital heart surgery.Methods The primary cultured neuron cell of l8-day-pregnan embryoid Sprague-Dawley rat's hippocampus has been selected as the experimental material.The experimental concentration of magnesium sulfate will be 0 mmol/L,1 mmol/L,2 mmol/L,4 mmol/L;0 mmol/L is for control group.Selecting c-fos protein as target for primary antibody.Results After immunohistochemistry procedure,we found the mortality of neuronal cultures with magnesium sulfate in different concentration was 89.47 %,49.35 %,52.56 %,90.67 %(P

Objective To retrospectively analyze 45 cases of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors and to assess the efficacy and feasibility of oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors implanted with 125I radioactive seeds under guidance of ultrasound.Methods A total of 47 focuses in these 45 patients were determined with the size of these tumors by imaging study,the section was planed by ultrasound,the number and distribution of radioactive seeds were determined with the help of the particle treatment planning system,and were percutaneously implanted particles under guidance of ultrasound.The number and the distribution of particles were assessed by CT.Efficacy endpoints were reexamined and evaluated regularly by ultrasonic and CT according to the standards of WHO.Results The total percentage of efficacy was 70.2% (including complete remission,partial remission).The treatment effect of metastatic carcinoma of lymph node is superior to the parotid tumor.There was no serious complication during the period of implanting and 2 patients with oral ulcers were found after operation.Conclusion The oral and maxillofacial malignant tumor treated implanted with 125I radioactive seeds under guidance of ultrasound is very effective and safe,which is deserved to popularize.The ultrasound is the first choice as a guided method for oral and maxillofacial malignant tumors.
