Objective To investigate the pharmacodynamics of rocuronium in infants with obstructive jaundice. Methods Thirty infants aged 1 to 4 months without neuromuscular diseases or renal dysfunction were divided into two groups with 15 cases each. The patients in group A were diagnosed with biliary atresia and scheduled for the kasai operation, and those in group B were with normal liver function and scheduled for abdominal surgery as the controls. Anestheisa was induced with propofol 2 mg/kg and fentanyl 3 g/kg. Rocuronium 0. 6 mg/kg was given and neuromuscular block was recorded with acceleromyography. Results Comparing with group B, The onset time of rocuronium was significantly longer in group A than that in group B[(81±35) s vs (51±28)s](P< 0. 05). There were no significant differences between the two groups in the maximum depression time [(49±15) min vs. (48±12) min]or the clinical duration of action[(76±20) min vs. (71±14) min]. Conclusion The onset time of rocuronium is prolonged in infants with obstructive jaundice.

Objective To explore the expression level of miR-21 in exercise-induced right ventricular (RV) fibrosis,and to analyze the role of miR-21 in exercise-induced right ventricular fibrosis.Methods Seventy-two male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sedentary (Sed) group,a moderate exercise (ME) group and an intensive exercise (IE) group,each of 24.Rats in the Sed group were free of exercises,while those in ME and IE groups ran an hour on treadmill at 5°and 10° slopes at the speed of 15.2 m/min and 28 m/min respectively for 8 weeks,12 weeks or 16 weeks every day,5days per week.Twenty-four hours after the last training,all rats were sacrificed after blood sampling.The right ventricles were removed,and the collagen volume fraction (CVF) was tested using Sirius red staining,Collagen Ⅰ (Col Ⅰ) content was quantified using Immunofluorescence.The expression level of miR-21 was measured using the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results Af ter 12 weeks (P＜0.05,P＜0.05) and 16 weeks (P＜0.01,P＜0.01) of intensive exercises,the average CVF in the right ventricular was significantly higher than that of Sed and ME rats.Compared to Sed and ME groups,12 weeks (P＜0.01,P＜0.01) and 16 weeks (P＜0.01,P＜0.01) of intensive exercises significantly increased RV collagen Ⅰ content.Compared to the Sed group,the expression of miR-21 in RV increased significantly in the IE group (P＜0.01,P＜0.05 and P＜0.05).After 16-week intensive exercises,the miR 21 expression was positively correlated with the RV Col Ⅰ content.Conclusion The right ventricular fibrosis induced by long-term intensive exercises is associated with increased miR-21 expression level.Therefore,miR-21 is a potent therapeutic target and novel biomarker of the exercise-induced right ventricular fibrosis.

Objective To examine the effects of exercise intensity and duration on the structure,function and fibrosis of the left and right ventricular,and to discuss the potential mechanism in these processes.Methods Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into a sedentary(Sed)group,a moderate exercise(ME)group and an intensive exercise(IE) group,each of 16.Rats in Sed group were not given any training,while those in ME group and IE group run on treadmill at the speed of 15.2 m/min with the slope gradient of 5° and 28 m/min with the slope gradient of 10 degree 1 hour per day,5 days per week.Eight and 16 weeks after the training,we recorded the body weight and measure end-diastolic diameter,end-diastolic wall thickness,and ejection fraction of both ventriculars using the ultrasonic testing.All rats were then sacrificed after blood sampling.Elisa was used to measure serum cTnI concentration,and sirius red staining was applied to evaluate collagen volume fraction of both ventriculars.Results Eight or sixteen weeks after the training,the average bi-ventricular end-diastolic diameter of ME and IE rats was bigger than Sed group.There were no differences in end-diastolic diameter of both ventricular between ME group and IE group after sixteen-week training,but the left ventricular end-diastolic diameter of IE group was greater than ME group.As exercise intensive increased and time accumulated,the end-diastolic wall thickness of both ventriculars increased but without statistical significance.At sixteen-week intervention,the bi-ventricular ejection fraction of IE rats was significantly lower than Sed and ME groups,while there was a decreasing trend eight weeks earlier without significant differences.After 8 or 16 weeks of training,the serum cTnI was significantly higher in IE rats than Sed group or ME group,but there was no significant differences between ME group and Sed group.After 16 weeks' exercises,the average bi-ventricular collagen volume fraction of ME or IE group was greater than that after 8 weeks' exercises.The average collagen volume fraction of the right ventricular was greater than Sed group at the same time points,and after sixteenweek training the right ventricular collagen volume fraction in IE group was significantly greater than ME group.However,there were no significant differences in the measurement of the left side among different groups.The serum cTnI was negatively correlated with the left and right ventricular systolic function(r=-0.327,P=0.029 and r=-0.582,P=0.000).Moreover,it was positively correlated with the right ventricular collagen volume fraction moderately,but had no correlation with the left ventricular collagen volume fraction.Conclusion(1)Sixteen-week moderate and intensive exercise result in left ventricular dilation,and the dilation increases with the increase of the exercise intensity.Only 8 weeks' exercise at the same intensity can lead to right ventricular dilation,but exercise intensity has little influence on the right ventricular dilation.(2)Long-term moderate or intensive endurance exercises may cause bi-ventricular hypertrophy potentially.The left ventricular hypertrophy and dilation may not be synchronous with hypertrophy followed by dilation,while the right ventricular hypertrophy and dilation is synchronous.(3)The temporary decrease in bi-ventricular systolic function after intensive endurance exercise may be caused by ventricular injury,with more serious injury in the right ventricular than in the left.Moderate exercises don't cause ventricular injury,thus there is little or no influence on ejection fraction.(4) Long-term (8 or 16 weeks)moderate or intensive endurance exercises can increase the right ventricular collagen volume fraction,which may indicate cardiac fibrosis following right ventricular injury but not in the left ventricular.The bi-ventricular collagen volume fraction at sixteenth week in ME and IE rats are greater than corresponding rats at eighth week.It may result from the hypertrophy of bi-ventricular cardiomyocyte after 8-week training,followed by increase in the extracellular matrix but not cardiac fibrosis.

cases of plasma cell mastitis were treated from 1986 to 1999,of whom 37(32.5%) suffered from subareolar abcess and sclerosis,77(67 5%)had subareolar fistula.There were 58 cases(50 8%)of crater nipple.We adopted an arc incision along the edge of areolamammae to remove the necrotic tissues of the ducts,followed by everting suture and mamilliplasty.104 cases(91 2%)achieved healing by first intention.The operations were well done with little injury.Moreover,patients would be satisfied with the appearance.

Objective To study the ameliorative effect on postinfarction heart failure of Ad_5-HGF (adenovirus-mediated human hepatocyte growth factor) in swine models. Methods Totally 12 young swine were randomly divided into 2 groups which were: Ad_5-HGF group (treatment group) and null- Ad_5 group (control group). At four weeks and seven weeks after left anterior descending coronary artery ligation in swine hearts, coronary angiography and Gate cardiac perfusion imaging were performed to evaluate the degree of collateral artery growth (Rentorp), cardiac perfusion, and heart function. The expression of HGF was examined by ELISA. Immunohistochemistry was performed to illustrate the angiogenesis of SMA~+ vessels. Results (1) In comparison with the null- Ad_5 group, high expression of human HGF was observed in the myocardium of the Ad_5-HGF group. (2) The improvement in LVEF was more obvious in the Ad_5-HGF group than the control group in 7 weeks. Cardiac perfusion was significantly improved in the Ad_5-HGF group. (3) In the Ad_5-HGF group, growth of collateral blood vessels and also the number of SMA~+ vessels per mm~2 were significantly greater. Conclusion (1) High expression of human HGF is observed in the myocardium through intracoronary transfection. (2) HGF can improve collateral artery formation and ameliorate heart function. (3) HGF can increase the number of vessels that are coated with SMC.
