Objective To explore the impact of different doses of dexmedetomidine on the anesthetic sedative and analgesic effect of anesthesia agents in hysterectomy of patients with uterine fibroids under laparoscopy.Methods 90 patients with uterine fibroids with ASA class Ⅰ or Ⅱ who were going to undergoing general intravenous anesthesia laparoscopic hysterectomy were selected and they were divided into group A (dexmedetomidine 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1,n=30) and group B (dexmedetomidine 0.2μg·kg-1·h-1,n=30) and group C (no dexmedetomidine,n=30) by digital random method.The analgesia effect (VAS score) of group A,group B and group C preoperation and postoperative 1h,12h and 24h,and the sedation (Ramsay sedation score) were compared.General information,postoperative blood pressure,heart rate,pulse oxygen saturation,postoperative patients'' satisfaction on analgesic effect and the sedation effect and adverse reactions of the three groups were also compared.Results Age,body mass index and other basic information of three groups had no statistically significant differences (all P＞0.05).The preoperative VAS score of the three groups also had no statistically significant difference (F=0.625,P＞0.05).Postoperative 12h,24h,the VAS scores of group A and group B were lower than those of C group,which of group A were lower than group B (F=11.250,P＜0.05,F=21.181,P＜0.05).The Ramsay sedation score was higher than that of C group[(3.67±0.18) vs.(2.13±0.11)].The satisfaction of group A was significantly higher than group B and group C (96.67％ vs.73.33％,46.67％,χ2=25.953).The Ramsay sedation score and satisfaction were higher than those of group B (all P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in blood pressure (F=0.362,P＞0.05),pulse oxygen saturation (F=0.978,P＞0.05) and heart rate among the three groups before and after operation (F=1.268,P＞0.05).There was no obvious adverse reaction in the three groups.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can promote anesthetic sedative and analgesic effect of anesthesia agents in hysterectomy of patients with uterine fibroids under laparoscopy,and the dose 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 of dexmedetomidine has better effect,feasibility and safety,it is worthy of clinical promotion.

Forty-four patients suffering from hip pain after the hip and femoral head replacement were treated by revision for total hip arthroplasty in Spinal and Joint Surgery of Gaozhou People’s Hospital between August 2000 and August 2006. Forty-one patients were followed up. The surgeon, an associate chief physician, had been engaging in artificial joint field for 9 years, and performed artificial joint replacement for 620 patients. ①There were 26 patients with pain after artificial femoral head replacement, including 17 males and 9 females with an average age of 72.3 years (range, 67-79 years). Of the 26 patients, 12 had loosening of prosthesis stem, 8 acetabular wear, 3 dislocation of artificial femoral head, 2 ossification around the joints, and 1 periprosthetic fracture. ②Fifteen patients suffered with pain after total hip replacement, including 9 males and 6 females with an average age of 73.4 years (range, 66-80). Of them, there were 6 with loosening of prosthesis, 2 with loosening of acetabular prosthesis, 2 with wear of acetabular prosthesis, 2 with dislocation of artificial femoral head, 1 with infection of incision, 1 with delayed infection, and 1 with periprosthetic fracture. ③During follow up, 4 cases developed bone cement response symptoms such as acute hypotension, hypoxemia, and arrhythmia, but no rejection induced by artificial joint was found. X-ray films showed that no metal corrosion or acetabular polyethylene prosthesis degradation occurred. ④White blood count was generally elevated the day after revision of total hip arthroplasty, and mostly recovered 7 days after revision. Three patients had venous thrombosis of lower extremities. All 41 patients were followed up for 1-7 years, and odynolysis rate was 90.2%. The results indicate that the complications such as loosening of prosthesis, acetabular wear, dislocation of artificial femoral head, and ossification around the joints are main causes of hip pain after hip prosthesis replacement. Revision of total hip arthroplasty is an efficient method to relieve the pain.

Objective To investigate whether the hyper-reactivity of monocytes from the patients with primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) to LPS and Poly I ∶ C was associated with miR-146a.Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells from PBC patients and healthy controls were stimulated with 10 μg/ml of LPS or Poly I ∶ C.The levels of IL-1 β,IL-6,TNF-α and IFN-α in the culture medium were detected by ELISA.The relative expressions of miR-146a,miR-21,let-7e,miR-155 and miR-125b were detected by RT-PCR.The regulatory role of miR-146a on the production of inflammatory factors in LPS or Poly I ∶ C stimulated THP-1 cells was studied by gain-and-loss function assay.Results The up-regulation of miR146a,which was induced by both LPS or Poly I ∶ C,was impaired in the monocytes from PBC patients.The production of LPS or Poly I ∶ C induced inflammatory factor,could be enhanced by miR-146a down-regulation.Conclusion The hyper-reactivity of monocytes from PBC patients to LPS and Poly I ∶ C was associated with miR-146a.

Objective To investigate the effect of slice orientation on the popliteomeniscal fasciculi (PMF) MR imaging and its normal MRI appearances. Methods Volumetric MRI data of 40 knees of healthy volunteers were acquired using an isotropic 3D turbo spin echo (TSE) MR sequence. The posterior tangential line to both femoral condyles was used as the reference line, and the long axis sectional images of the popliteal hiatus region were reformatted at 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90° to the reference line. The MRI appearances of the PMF were scored respectively and classified. The final scores of the PMF at each slice angle were statistically analyzed by a repeated measure ANOVA. Results At 0°, 15°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 75° and 90° slice angles: scores of the anteroinferior fasciculi were (1.7±0.7), (1.8±0.6), (1.9±0.6), (2.0±0.7), (1.9±0.7), (1.8±0.8) and (1.0±0.5),respectively. Scores of the posterosuperior fasciculi were (1.5±0.7), (1.9±0.7), (2.1±0.6), (2.2±0.6),(2.2±0.6), (2.0±0.8) and (1.7±0.8), respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the average scores at each slice angle for both anteroinferior fasciculi (F = 29.744, P = 0.000) and posterosuperior fasciculi (F = 19.770,P =0.000). The anteroinferior fasciculi and the posterosuperior fasciculi had highest average scores at the angle of 45°. The percentage of type A, B and C of anteroinferior fascicali were 20.0% (8/40), 75.0% (30/40) and 5.0% (2/40), respectively. The percentage of type A, B and C of posterosuperior fasciculi were 37.5% (15/40) ,62.5% (25/40) and 0% (0/40) ,respectively. Conclusion The anteroinferior fasciculi and the posterosuperior fasciculi can be well depicted at the angle of 45° slice orientation.

Objective To investigate the increased expression of microRNA-146a(miR-146a) in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) of patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) and its clinical significance. Methods Twenty-eight patients with chronic ITP and 28 healthy controls matched with age and gender were enrolled in this study. Fluorescent quantitative PCR reaction was used to detect the relative expression of miR-146a in their PBMC. The serum concentration of TNF-α, IL-2,IL-1 β and IFN-γ were measured by ELISA. CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation ability of PBMC , which transfected with miR-146a mimics or inhibitor and then stimulated with platelet . Results The relative expression of miR-146a in ITP patients was higher than that of healthy controls. The increased expression of miR-146a was negatively correlated with the serum TNF-α, IL-2 and IFN-γ. The PBMC transfected with miR-146a mimics had reduced expression of IL-2 and proliferation when stimulated with platelet.In contrast, the opposite effect was observed with the miR-146a inhibitors transfection. Conclusion MiR146a was involved in the pathogenesis of chronic ITP by controlling IL-2 production and PBMC proliferation.Thus, it may be a potential therapy target for chronic ITP.

Objective To detect the expression of IL-27 in PBC (primary biliary cirrhosis)patients and the possible involvement of IL-27 signal pathway in PBC. Methods The gene transcription and protein expression levels of IL-27 in patients with PBC, chronic hepatitis B(CHB) group and healthy controls(HC) were measured by real-time PCR, ELISA, flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry. AST,ALP, ALT, TBIL, GGT were determined and their correlation with IL-27 was also analyzed. Results IL-27 was significantly elevated in patients with PBC and IL-27 is present in the liver tissues of patients with PBC. Expression of IL-27 on CD4+T cells was increased in patients with PBC(72.40% ±6.22% ) and CHB(59.40% ± 7.03%) compared with HC(1.70%±0.55%,P＜0.01). Expression of IL-27 protein was increased in patients with PBC [( 126.25 ± 36.00 ) pg/ml] compared with CHB [( 51.81 ± 23.30 )pg/ml, P ＜ 0. 01] and HC[(34.19 ± 9.70) pg/ml, P ＜ 0.01], and it was positively correlated with GGT( r = 0.554, P＜0.01) and TBIL (r = 0.559,P＜0.01), but no correlation with ALT, AST, ALP.Conclusion These facts indicated the key role of IL-27 in the immune inflammatory reaction in patients with PBC.
