Objective To investigate the effects of captopril on intubation response and the mechanism. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ - Ⅱ patients aged 25-60 yr, weighing 45-70 kg, scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia with tracheal intubation and mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into 2 groups: captopril group ( n = 15) and control group ( n = 13) . Premedication consisted of intramuscular phenobarbital 0.2 g and atropine 0.5 mg. In captopril group, captopril 0.3-0.35 mg?kg-1 was injected intravenously 10 min before induction while in control group normal saline 10 ml was given instead. Anesthesia was induced with droperidol 0.05 mg?kg-1 , fentanyl 1 ?g?kg-1 , thiopentone 5-6 mg?kg-1 . Intubation was facilitated with succinylcholine 1.5 mg ? kg-1 . Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation was successfully performed within 30 seconds. Mechanical ventilation was started and enflurane inhalation was begun and maintained at 2.1 % , SBP, DBF, HR, EGG and SpO2 were continuously monitored. Blood samples were taken from peripheral vein before induction (T0 ) , at intubation (T1 ), 1-1.5 min (T2) and 5 min (T3) after intubation for determination of plasma concentrations of angiotensin- Ⅰ (A 1 ), angiotensin- Ⅱ (A Ⅱ ), aldosterone (ALD), noradrenaline (NE), adrenaline (E), atrial natriuretic polypeptide (ANP) and thromboxane B2(TXB2) .Results (1) In captopril group SBP, DBF, HR, and heart rate-systolic BP product (RPP) remained unchanged at intubation, while in control group the parameters were significantly increased at T1 or T2 as compared with the baseline values ( P

Objective To investigate the proliferation, immune phenotype and cytotoxicity on different cell lines of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells collected from healthy donors. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from healthy donors were induced to become CIK cells by adding cytokines including rhIL-2, rhIFN-γand CD3 McAb. The proliferation of CIK cells was tested by blood cell recording board. The CIK cells were analyzed on different time points by FACS. The cytotoxicity of CIK cells against different tumor cell lines, such as K562, BJAB, A549, MCF-7 and HepG2, was detected by MTT assays on day 13. Results CIK cells quickly proliferated from day 5, and expanded by 182-fold after 20-day culture. The immunophenotypes of CD3+, CD3+CD8+and CD3+CD56+were (97.83±1.03)%, (77.12±1.60)%and (27.58± 2.02)%. The percentages of CD3+, CD3+CD8+and CD3+CD56+increased noticeably (P＜0.01). According to the effector-tar-get ratio of 40∶1, the activity of CIK cells against tumor cells K562, BJAB, A549, MCF-7 and HepG2 were (88.89±7.22)%, (75.42±9.52)%, (63.19±5.67)%, (43.53±5.67)%and (42.63±7.69)%. The experiments showed that CIK cells possessed high-er antitumor cytotoxic activity. Conclusion CIK cells can be largely capacity cultured by adding cytokines in vitro. CIK cells were a highly efficient cytotoxic cell against tumors, and had clinical application potentials.

OBJECTIVETo investigate c-myc and CCNE2 gene amplifications and their relationship in breast cancer.

METHODSSixty-six infiltrating ductal breast carcinomas with foci of ductal carcinoma in situ components collected from January 2005 to December 2007 were selected for tissue microarray and quantitative multi-gene FISH for c-myc and CCNE2 gene amplification, and the relationship with the clinicopathologic features was analyzed.

RESULTSOf the 66 cases, 18 (27.3%) showed c-myc amplification and 23 (34.8%) showed CCNE2 amplification. A strong correlation was found between c-myc and CCNE2 amplification (P < 0.01). The breast cancers showing c-myc and CCNE2 amplifications were all aneuploidy, and were HER2 positive (P < 0.05). Tumors with c-myc amplification also showed higher Ki-67 index (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSC-myc and CCNE2 amplifications are common events in breast cancer, and they often coexist. C-myc and CCNE2 genes may play critical roles in the pathogenesis and development of breast cancer through unique and overlapping signaling pathways.

Objective:To analyze the clinical features, postoperative recurrence and prognostic factors of young patients with cervical cancer.Methods:The clinical data of hospitalized cervical cancer patients in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2004 to March 2019 were retrospectively studied. 243 young cervical cancer patients ≤35 years old were selected as the study group. The method of case-control study was adopted. In the same period, 250 first and second cervical cancer patients aged >35 years were randomly selected as the control group. The clinical data of the two groups were compared, and the survival curves of the two groups were analyzed. The clinical data of patients with postoperative recurrence (17 cases) and patients without recurrence (164 cases) in the study group were compared, and the related data affecting the prognosis of young cervical cancer patients were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analysis. Statistical data were compared by χ 2 test or exact probability method. Kaplan-meier method was used to estimate survival rate and draw survival curve. Survival rate was compared by Long-Rank test. COX regression model was used for multivariate analysis. Results:Compared with the control group, the young cervical cancer patients had earlier age of marriage, menstruate, fewer pregnancies, no preoperative adjuvant therapy, more nerve infiltration and ovarian preservation, the difference was statistically significant (χ 2 values were 94.58, 67.54, 60.53, 5.44, 13.64, 5.51, and 118.24, respectively; P values were <0.001, <0.001, <0.001, 0.025, 0.022, <0.001, respectively). The proportion of irregular vaginal bleeding in study group (13.17%(32/243)) was lower than that in control group (30.40%(76/250)), and the proportion of contact vaginal bleeding (52.26%(127/243)) was higher than that in control group (43.20%(108/250)). There were significant differences between the two groups (χ 2 values were 21.39 and 4.06, respectively; P values were < 0.001 and 0.044, respectively). There was no significant difference in Kaplan-Meier survival rate between the study group and the control group (χ 2=0.03, P=0.859). Univariate analysis showed that the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO), whether to retain ovary, depth of cervical invasion, nerve invasion, lymphatic vascular space invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis were the influencing factors of 5-year survival rate of young cervical cancer patients ( P values were 0.016, 0.008, 0.014, 0.017, 0.004, <0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis showed FIGO staging ( OR=2.073, 95% CI: 1.017-4.228, P=0.045), lymphatic vascular space infiltration ( OR=0.041, 95% CI: 0.005-0.341, P=0.019) and pelvic lymph node metastasis ( OR=0.027, 95% CI: 0.004-0.197, P<0.001) were risk factors affecting the prognosis of young cervical cancer. The patients with low FIGO stage, no lymphatic vascular space infiltration and pelvic lymph node metastasis have a good prognosis. Conclusion In young patients with cervical cancer, the first clinical feature is mainly contact vaginal bleeding. The prognosis of young patients with cervical cancer and 5 years survival rate there was no statistically significant difference compared with control group. The later FIGO staging , no ovarinan retention and the deeper cervical infiltration depth , with the nerve or between lymphatic vascular invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis in young patients with cervical cancer had poor prognosis, and FIGO stage, lymphatic vessel space invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis were the most significant factors.

Objective:To investigate the relationships of rs4658971 polymorphism of disrupted-in-schizophrinia-1 ( DISC1) gene with schizophrenia in children and adolescents and with the brain structure of such patients. Methods:(1) A total of 577 children and adolescents with schizophrenia were recruited from the Inpatient Department of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Xinxiang Medical University from October 2010 to December 2018, and 516 healthy children were selected as the control group.The rs4658971 polymorphism of DISC1 gene was detected by restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). The differences of DISC1 genotype and allele frequencies between schizophrenia patients and healthy children were compared by Chi-square test.(2)One hundred and eighteen patients with the first-episode schizophrenia whose illness duration was no more than 12 months and 101 healthy children and adolescents were detected by 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The craniocerebral structures of patients with different DISC1 genotypes were analyzed by covariance with age as the covariant. Results:(1) The rs4658971 genotype frequencies(TT 6.6% vs.5.2%, TC 37.4% vs.38.4%, CC 56.0% vs.56.4%, χ2=0.91, P=0.63) and allele frequencies(C 74.70% vs.75.58%, T 25.30% vs.24.42%, χ2=0.23, P=0.63) of DISC1 gene in children and adolescents with schizophrenia were not significantly different from those in the healthy children.(2) Compared with the control group, the transverse diameter of the third ventricle was significantly enlarged in children and adolescent with schizophrenia [(4.68±1.41) mm vs.(4.06±1.36) mm, F=8.534, P=0.004], while the distance between the anterior feet of the lateral ventricle, the width of the caudate nucleus head and the thickness of the hippocampus were significantly reduced [(30.69±2.51) mm vs.(32.02±2.41) mm, (8.17±1.01) mm vs.(9.22±1.14) mm, (8.93±0.97) mm vs.(9.93±1.14) mm], and the differences were statistically significant( F=15.435, 40.201, 44.650, all P<0.001). The covariance analysis (with age as the covariant) showed that there was significant difference in the width of the caudate nucleus head between patients with CC genotype and those with CT+ TT genotype[(8.73±0.85) mm vs.(7.39±0.61) mm, F=41.376, P<0.001]. Conclusions:There are multiple brain structural changes in children and adolescents with first-episode schizophrenia.T allele carriers of DISC1 gene rs4658971 locus may be related to the reduced width of the caudate nucleus head in patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship between brain white matter volume (WMV) and cognitive function (CF) in childhood and adolescence-onset schizophrenia (CAOS).Methods Forty childhood and adolescence-onset first-episode schizophrenia patients (case group) and thirty-nine healthy volunteers (control group) were selected.All subjects underwent a 3.0 T magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) scans for data acquisition.The Chinese version of MATRICS consensus cognitive battery(MCCB) was used to assess the cognitive function.The psychiatric symptoms of schizophrenia were assessed with the positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS).And t test was applied to compare whether there were differences in WMV,CF between the two groups.Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze whether the differences were related with cognitive function and mental symptoms.Results Compared with healthy controls,the case group exhibited WMV deficits in the region of left frontal lobe (LFL) (MNI:x =-27,y =12,z =21),right side limbic lobe (RSLL) (MNI:x =18,y =-9,z =39) and left cingulate gyrus (LCG) (MNI:x =-21,y =-18,z=45) (P＜0.05).The WMV of LFL was negatively related with the total score (r=-0.344,P＜0.05) and the WMV of LCG was negatively related with the positive symptoms score (r=-0.326,P＜0.05) and total score (r=-0.348,P＜0.05) of the PANSS.Besides,compared with the controls,the patients showed significant increase in the scores of Trail Making Test (t =3.56,P＜ 0.01),while significant decrease in the scores of the HVLT-R and BVMT-R(t=-5.67,-8.66,P＜0.05).The WMV of RSLL was positively correlated with verbal fluency test in the case group (r=0.40,P＜0.05).Conclusion CAOS patients exist multiple reduced WMV and cognitive impairment,suggesting the importance of the WMV abnormalities in the pathophysiological mechanism of cognitive impairment.
