Objective To observe the clinical effects and complications of primary trigeminal neuralgia treatment with radiofrequency thermocoagulation on gasserian ganglion. Methods Under the guidance of C-arm or DSA and with Hartel method, we percutaneously punctured the oval foramen to gasserian ganglion and performed radiofrequency times. Results Pain was completed eliminated in 53 of the 56 patients, which was regarded as degree Ⅰ of clinical cure with the curativeness rate being 96.4%; 1 case was of degree Ⅱ; 1 case was of degree Ⅲ; 1 case had no effect. The rate of satisfactory effectiveness was 96.4% and the total rate of efficacy was 98.2%. No severe complications were observed. Conclusion Radiofrequency thermocoagulation is a safe and effective method to treat primary trigeminal neuralgia with few severe complications.

To investigate the role and mechanisms of apoptosis and apoptosis signaling pathway in 5/6 nephrectomy rat model (SN(x)), the mRNA and protein levels of caspase-3, -8, -9 and apoptosis were detected by in situ end labeling (TUNEL), immunohistochemistry, RT-PCR, Western-blotting 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 26 and 40 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy rat model was made respectively. The rats in the model group developed glomerular sclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis. The number of the apoptototic cells in glomeruli, renal tubule and renal interstitium was remarkably higher in the model group than that in the control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Changes of mRNA and protein level of caspase-3, -8, -9 had the same tendency and was up-regulated wavily in the rat model compared with the control group (P < 0.05). Peaks in model appeared on the 4th and the 40th week respectively. The growth amplitude of caspase-9 was remarkably higher than that of caspase-8. It is concluded that the development of 5/6 nephrectomy rat model was correlated with the apoptosis of glomeruli, renal tubule and renal interstitium. Both of death receptor and mitochondria signaling pathways are involved in the process and the latter might play a primary role.

OBJECTIVE To observe the bacterial content on the suspension bed sheet in burns intensive care unit.METHODS To detect the bacterial content on the suspension bed sheet and the common sickbed sheet(20 sheets in each group) after sampling them before use and 12 and 24 hours after use and to compare them.RESULTS The bacterial content on two sorts of the sheets before use was accorded with the Ministry of Health standards.but 12 hours after use the significant bacterial content on the common sickbed sheet [(4.9?2.1) CFU/cm2] was much higher than that on the suspension bed [(3.2?1.1) CFU/cm2,P0.01].CONCLUSIONS Using suspension bed could reduce bacterial content on the sheet and ease nurse workload.

AIM: To establish a model of subtotal nephrectomy (SNx) and investigate the changes of apoptosis and apoptosis-related genes (Bax, bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9) in the rat remnant kidney. METHODS: Remnant kidneys were produced in adult male SD rats by 5/6 nephrectomy. The renal function and histopathological changes were evaluated at 1, 2, 4, 8, 12, 16, 26 and 40 weeks after operation. The tissues of remnant kidneys were collected to detect apoptosis cells by in situ end-labeling of cleaved DNA (TUNEL) and proliferating cells by determining the proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA). The expression of Bax, bcl-2, caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 was measured by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The proteins were detected by immunohistochemistry staining. The relation between apoptosis, proliferation, glomerulosclerosis and renal interstitial fibrosis was also observed. RESULTS: The results showed the renal pathological dynamic changes in 5/6 nephrectomy remnant kidneys were tubule-interstitial inflammation and fibrosis, as well as glomerulosclerosis. There were transient increases in both proliferating and apoptotic processes in glomerulus, tubules and interstitium. Apoptosis was increased and most of apoptotic cells were detected in tubular epithelial cells and interstitial area. The mRNA and protein expression of Bax, caspase-3, caspase-8 and caspase-9 were increased in all course, and peaked at week 4 and 40 in the SNX rats. The successive changes of these parameters were parallel to the level of focal inflammation in interstitium. Glomerulosclerosis index was related with focal inflammation cells and 24 hours urine protein (r=0.788, 0.822; P

BACKGROUND: It has been reported that chitosan can inhibit scar formation and promote wound healing. Medical invisible antimicrobial film is a new type of membrane materials which comprises chitosan as ground substance.OBJECTIVE: To determine the inhibitory effects of medical invisible antimicrobial film on the operative incision scar, and to observe its effects on wound healing.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A controlled animal study was conducted at the IVC Experimental Animal Room, West China School of Pharmacy, Sichuan University from August to October 2007.MATERIALS: Medical invisible antimicrobial film stock solution was colorless transparent sticking solution, which formed colorless transparent film following spray painting (specification: 40 mL), provided by Chengdu Chaojl Technology Co., Ltd. (lot number 070501).METHODS: A total of 16 healthy Sprague Dawley rats aged 20 to 23 days were selected. Full linear skin incisions were operated in aseptic condition. After operation, the experimental group (right side) was sprayed medical invisible antimicrobial film 0.5 mL/time, once a day, for totally 3 days. The control group (left side) received an equal volume of 0.9% sodium chloride injection, with natural cure.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: At 3, 7 and 14 days following surgery, incision skin specimens were obtained, and subjected to hematoxylin-eosin staining and Masson staining was applied to observe wound healing and the formation of scar, then the scar area was analyzed.RESULTS: The scar relative mean area of control group was 154 069±51 356 and the experimental group was 98 200±34 719 on the postoperative 14~(th) day. The two groups were significantly different (P < 0.05). At 14 days following surgery, optical microscope showed that the experiment group had less collagen fibers and fibroblast accumulation. At 3 days, compared with the control group, the experimental group had less epithelization period, more granulation tissue and less inflammatory cell infiltration.CONCLUSION: The medical invisible antimicrobial film has inhibitory effect of the formation of operative incision scar, and no influence on wound healing of operative incision.

Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3)and cardiovascular disease(CVD) in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients.Methods Plasma was obtained from 98 MHD patients before and after a session of HD and 50 age-matched healthy subjects.Plasma PTX3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA).Spearman correlation and linear regression were used to examine the correlation between plasma PTX3 level and other laboratory parameters.Binary Logistic regression was used to assess the correlation between plasma PTX3 level and CVD.Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the correlation among PTX3, high sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP) and CVD.Results Plasma PTX3 level was significantly higher in MHD patients compared to healthy controls [1.87 (1.34-2.50) μg/L vs 1.11(0.86-1.51) μg/L, P＜0.01], and increased after a single HD session[post-HD 2.18(1.80-3.14) μg/L vs pre-HD 1.87(1.34-2.50) μg/L, P＜0.01].Patients with CVD had higher concentrations of PTX3 than those without CVD[2.18 (1.48-2.74) μg/L vs 1.76 (1.25-2.26) μg/L, P＜0.05].High plasma PTX3 (＞1.87 μg/L) was positively and independently associated with CVD[OR=3.15, 95％CI(1.17-8.50), P＜0.05].ROC curve analysis showed the PTX3 was more closely correlated to CVD than hsCRP in MHD patients with hsCRP ＞3 mg/L, and the area under the curve of PTX3 and hsCRP was 0.655 ±0.083(P＜0.05) and 0.562±0.083(P＞0.05) respectively.Plasma PTX3 level was negatively correlated with body mass index (ρ=-0.248,P＜0.05), pre-albumin(ρ=-0.218, P＜0.05), total cholesterol(ρ=-0.265, P＜0.01), triglyceride (ρ=-0.246, P＜0.05), LDL-cholesterol (ρ=-0.254, P＜0.05), hemoglobin (ρ=-0.212, P＜0.05), and positively with erythropoietin dose per week(ρ=0.184, P＜0.01), cardiac troponin T (ρ=0.287,P＜0.01), carotid artery intima-media thickness (ρ=0.294, P＜0.05).Conclusions PTX3 level ismarkedly elevated in HD patients.HD procedure induces PTX3 elevation.Plasma PTX3 could be auseful marker of CVD risk factors in MHD patients.
