Objective To develop a simple mobile lead room to reduce the scattered radiation to adjacent patients and medical staffs. Methods The triple ply, lead protection sheet, lead glass stainless steel plate, hinge, rotating wheel and the plank were used to build the lead room. Results The dose of the scattered radiation to adjacent patients and medical staffs was decreased and the expenditure of the hospital on the lead room was saved.

Objective To evaluate the modification of C_(60) on the radiation effects of ~(60)Co-γ irradiation on zebrafish.Methods The adult and embryonic zebrafish were used as model organisms to examine the potential of C_(60) to elicit oxidative stress responses on the surviving rate,hatching rate and malformation occurrence,both upon exposure to light or in the dark.Reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and DNA damage were examined as the possible underlying mechanism.Results 500 × 10~(-9) nano-C_(60) waterborne exposure could enhance the γ-irradiation effects by decreasing adult fish survival upon light exposure,which resulted in ROS and DNA damage increasing.The hatching rates were also inhibited with higher malformation,though dark exposure did not make any enhancement,except that the 5000× 10~(-9) C_(60) would inhibit larvae hatching and induced more malformation.Conclusions Waterborne nano-C_(60) exposure may enhance the radiation effects on zebrafish,ROS production and DNA damage increasing may be the underlying mechanism.

Objective To investigate the lung function testing performing in normal smokers,and urge smokers to stop smoking early. Methods Two hundred and one adult men did the pulmonary function testing by MINATO AS-505 portable spirometer, and analyzed the effect d different smoking degree on the pulmonary function. Results There was no relationship between lung volume index and smoking, smoking degree. Compared with nonsmokers, the indicants such as FEV1, MVV, FEV1/FVC had decreased, and the indexes of the small airway function (PEF, FEF25%-75%)had significantly dropped in the smokers. And the smokers especially long-term smokers, most indexes of the pulmonary functions and all indexes of the small airway function correlated with smoking index. Conclusion Although smokers do not show clinical symptoms, their lung functions have been reduced, especially small airway function.

Objective To compare the effects of sevoflurane and propofol anesthesia on inflammatory response and pulmonary function during perioperative period in patients undergoing lung cancer resection．MethodsThirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients(23 male，7 female) aged 41-64 yr having a body weisht index of 22-30 kg/m2 undegoing elective left lower lobe resection were randomlydivided into 2 groups(n=15 each)：sevoflurane group (group S) and propofol group(group P)．Anesthesia was induced with 6％-8％ sevoflurane or propofol 2 mg/kg and fentanyl 4-6 μg/kg．Intubation with double lumen catheter was facilitated with vecuroniunl 0．1 mg/kg． Anesthesia was maintained with 1％-3％ sevoflurane/propofol infusion(6-10 mg·kg-1·h-1)and intermittent iv boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium．Radial artery was cannulated．Swan-Ganz catheter was placed via right internal jugular vein．The patients were mechanically ventilated．During one lung ventilation(OLV)I：E and VT were adjusted to maintain airway pressure <30 cm H2O．Arlerial and mixed venous blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis before induction of anesthesia(T0)，before OLV(T1)，at the end of OLV(T2)，when the chest was closed(T3) and at 24 h after operation (T4)．PA-aO2，Qs/Qt and respiratory index(RI，PA-aO2/PaO2) were calculated. Serum matrix metallo-proteinase-9 (MMP-9) and MDA were measured at T0, T3 and T4. Dynamic lung compliance (Cd) was calculated at T1-3 .Results PA-aO2, RI and Qs/Qt at T1-3 and serum MMP-9 and MDA concentrations at T3 were significantly increased as compared with the baseline values at T0 in both groups. In group S, Cd was significantly lower at T3 than at T1.PA-AO2, and serum MMP-9 and MDA concentrations at T3, RI at T2,3 and Qs/Qt at T1-3 were significantly higher in group S than in group P. Conclusion The inflammatory response is lower and the injury to pulmonary function is lighter during propofol anesthesia than sevoflurane anesthesia in patients undergoing lung cancer resection.

Objective To test the association between mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA) point mutations and praecox Parkinson's disease (PPD),and to investigate the characteristics of mtDNA mutations in Chinese patients with PPD. Methods Screening mtDNA A4336C, G5460A,A10398G,A13780G point mutations in 40 patients with PPD and 48 in control group was carried out by using Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR), dot blotting, radiant developing. And sequencing was given to the nucleotide position (np)10256～np10577mtDNA of 20 patients with PPD and 20 subjects in control group.Results Out of the 40 patients with PPD, 20 (50%)had A10398G mutation. 6 (15%) had G5460A, 5(12.5%) had A13780G, 2 (5%)had A4336C, 19 (47.5%)had C10400T mutation. Out of the 48 controls, 7(14.6%) had A10398G, 24.2% had G5460A, 1 (2.1%)had A13780G and 20 (41.7%)had C10400T, but no any A4336C mutation was found in the controls. Thus, the ratios of A10398G,G5460A,A4336C,A13780G in patients with PPD were separately higher than those in the control group. Moreover significant difference was found in A10398G point mutation (P

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of 3D-laparoscopic surgery in adrenalpheochromocytomas /paragangliomas.Methods From December 2012 to July 2014,23 cases of adrenal pheochromocytomas/paragangliomas were treated by 3D-laparoscopic surgery.Among them,7 cases were male and 16 cases were female,whose mean age are 47 (32-68) years old.Their clinical symptoms including sustained hypertension in 11 cases,intermittent hypertension in 8 cases,sustained hypertension with intermittent progression in 2 cases and asymptom in 2 cases.All tumors were diagnosed by endocrine examination,image test and nuclear medicine.Mean diameter of tumors are 8 cm,ranged from 3-14cm.In order to adjust the blood pressure,patients took α-receptor blocker for 2-4 weeks preoperatively.Under the general anesthesia,19 patients received the 3D-laparoscopic surgery via retroperitoneal approach and 4 cases received the procedure via peritoneal approach.Results All operations were completed successfully.There were no major intraoperative complications.Mean operating time was (78 ± 21) min and mean estimated blood loss was (54.8 ± 36.3) ml.Mean hospital stay after operation was (3.8 ± 1.4) days.The pathological diagnosis included pheochromocytomas in 15 cases and paragangliomas in 8 cases.During the 3 to 18 months following up,no recurrence or metastasis was found in this study.Conclusions 3D-laparoscopic surgery has obvious advantage in spatial location and the sense of depth for adrenal pheochromocytomas /paragangliomas,which shortens the operation time and increase the safety obviously.

Objective To investigate the potential differences in efficacy of anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments(ACL &PCL)reconstruction by using arthroscopy between autologous tendon and tendon allograft.Methods A total of 144 patients with ACL or PCL fracture were assigned into two groups,namely anterior tibial muscle tendons allograft(n =82)and tendons autograft(n =63).The graft was fixed by using the Endobutton and Intrafix systems. The general information,drawer test,Lachman test,IKDC score,Lysholm score and Tegner score were compared between groups before and after surgery.The mean follow -up period was 16 months,ranged from 6 to 24 months. Results Both two groups received significant improvement after surgery and met the requirements of ligament reconstruction.However,those patients received autologous tendon had less complications,better knee stability.There were significant differences in Lachman score,ADT/PDT score,IKDC score[(83.43 ±4.37)points vs.(81.05 ± 4.41)points],Lysholm score [(90.59 ±3.43)points vs.(89.03 ±3.25 )points],and Tegner score [(7.79 ± 0.94)points vs.(7.37 ±0.90)points]between the two groups in 12 -month(χ2 =9.509,9.080,t =3.237,2.770, 2.729,all P <0.05).Conclusion The efficacy of autologous tendon is better than tendon allograft in anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments reconstruction,which should be considered has highest priority in treating patients with anterior or posterior cruciate ligaments fracture.

Objective To investigate the effect of nesfatin-1 (NSF-1) on T-type Ca2+ channel currents in adult mouse dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons and possible signal transduction mechanisms involved.Methods We measured the expression of melanocortin 4 receptors(MC4-R)in mouse DRG by using western blotting analysis.The whole-cell patch clamp technique was used to record the effects of NSF 1 on T-type Ca2+ channel currents in small DRG neurons and several ligands were experimented to further clarify relevant signaling pathways.Results MC4-Rs were abundantly expressed in DRG neurons.NSF-1 enhanced T-type calcium channel currents in a dose-dependent manner in small DRG neurons in mice.NSF-1 mediated increment of T-type calcium channel currents was blocked by the MC4-R antagonist HS024,phosphokinase C antagonists GF109203X,and chelerythrine chloride,while the blockade of phospohokinase A PKI 6-22 elicited no such effects.Conclusions NSF-1 can enhance T type calcium channel currents in small DRG neurons through an MC4-R-dependent PKC signaling pathway.
