OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of parecoxib preemptive analgesia combined with postoperative epidural analgesia on hip replacement and immune function. METHODS:Totally 86 patients undergoing unilateral hip replacement selected from Xining Third People's Hospital during Jan. 2014-Jun. 2016 were divided into observation group and control group according to random num-ber table,with 43 cases in each group. Two groups underwent unilateral hip replacement under spinal epidural anesthesia. Observation group was given Parecoxib sodium for injection 40 mg intravenously 30 min before the end of surgery. Control group was given con-stant volume of normal saline intravenously. Both groups were given epidural analgesia pump(Ropivacaine hydrochloride injection 150 mg+Ondansetron hydrochloride injection 16 mg+Dezocine injection 10 mg,added into normal saline to 100 mL)after surgery with dripping speed of 2 mL/h and patient-controlled time of 15 min. The hemodynamic indexes,analgesic effect,T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells levels were compared between 2 groups at different time points as well as the occurrence of ADR after surgery. RE-SULTS:Two patients of observation group and one patient of control group withdrew from the study. Before surgery,there was no sta-tistical significance in MAP and HR between 2 groups(P>0.05);12,24 h after surgery,MAP and HR of control group were signifi-cantly increased and higher than observation group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in MAP and HR of observation group at different time points compared to before treatment;there was no statistical significance in MAP and HR between 2 groups immediately after surgery,48 h after surgery(P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in VAS score between 2 groups immediately after surgery(P>0.05);6,12,24,48 h after surgery,VAS scores of observation group were signifi-cantly lower than those of control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in CD3+,CD4+, CD4+/CD8+and NK cells levels between 2 groups before surgery(P>0.05). CD3+,CD4+and NK cells levels of 2 groups immediately after surgery,CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+ and NK cells levels of 2 groups at 12,24 h after surgery,CD3+and CD4+of control group at 48 h after surgery all changed significantly;CD3+,CD4+,CD4+/CD8+and NK cells levels of observation group at 12,24 h after sur-gery were significantly higher than those of control group,with statistical significantly(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The parecoxib preemptive analgesia combined with postopera-tive epidural analgesia shows good analgesic effect for hip replacement patients,keeps their hemodynamics stable and protects immune function to certain extent with good safety.

Objective To establish and evaluate 3 kinds of minimally-invasive valve implantation model in vivo.Methods A novel tissue engineered heart valve(TEHV) manufactured by branched polyethylene glycol cross-linked acellular porcine valve and a minimally-invasive valve implantation system according to the design of Corevalve revalving system were adopted.After anesthesia,18 adult male goats were randomly divided into 3 groups: the ulrasound-directed orthotropic group (group A,n =6),angiography-directed orthotropic group (group B,n =6) and direct-released heterotopic group (group C,n =6),and all received minimally-invasive valve implantation orthotropically or heterotopically.4 weeks later,the valvular function was evaluated by CTA and/or echocardiography.Results All 3 kinds of caprine model were successfully constructed.The operation success rate of each group was A: 66.7％,B: 50.0％ and C: 100.0％,respectively(multiple x2 analysis,group A and B P ＞0.05; group A and C,group B and C,P ＜0.05).The operation-time of each group was A: (79 ± 18) min,B:(61 ±23) min,C: (45 ± 15) min(one-way ANOVA,P ＜0.05).The survival rate at4 weeks was A: 100％,B: 100％ and C: 83.3％ (multiple x2 analysis,P ＞ 0.05).Echocardiography and CTA proved the short-term function of implanted TEHV was satisfactory.Conclusion All 3 kinds of caprine valve implantation model can be established without cardiopulmonary bypass and blood transfusion.The devices and equipments required in group A is relatively simple,but the procedure cost longer time for it is hard to determine the right position by ultrasound.The application of angiography made the positioning much easier in group B while the procedure had to be performed in specific operation room with angiographic apparatus.Group C did rely on neither special equipments nor complex operation,but the valve leaflets cannot work normally,so this model was only suitable for testing in vivo characteristics such as biocompatiblities.

The purpose of this study was to fabricate decelluarized valve scaffold modified with polyethylene glycol nanoparticles loaded with transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1), by which to improve the extracellular matrix microenvironment for heart valve tissue engineering in vitro. Polyethylene glycol nanoparticles were obtained by an emulsion-crosslinking method, and their morphology was observed under a scanning electron microscope. Decelluarized valve scaffolds, prepared by using trypsinase and TritonX-100, were modified with nanoparticles by carbodiimide, and then TGF-β1 was loaded into them by adsorption. The TGF-β1 delivery of the fabricated scaffold was measured by asing enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Whether unseeded or reseeded with myofibroblast from rats, the morphologic, biochemical and biomechanical characteristics of hybrid scaffolds were tested and compared with decelluarized scaffolds under the same conditions. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed a typical delivery of nanoparticles. The morphologic observations and biological data analysis indicated that fabricated scaffolds possessed advantageous biocompatibility and biomechanical property beyond decelluarized scaffolds. Altogether this study proved that it was feasible to fabricate the hybrid scaffold and effective to improve extracellular matrix microenvironment, which is beneficial for an application in heart valve tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the comparison results of five items of hepatitis B in ELISA by using water bath box and rapid incubation .Methods 92 patients with hepatitis B in our hospital from June 2012 to June 2013 were randomly se‐lected and 184 cases of healthy physical examination were randomly selected as the controls .The water bath and rapid incubation were adopted to conduct ELISA for simultaneously detecting 5 items of hepatitis B in samples .Results The results of two groups had higher positive coincidence rate .The average OD value of specimens in the water bath was higher .But the specimen S/CO value in the fast average incubation was higher ,its co value was higher than that of the water bath .Conclusion The rapid incubation can be introduced for improving the work efficiency in the daily work ,but the specimen with weak reactiveresult needs to be re‐de‐tected by using the water bath and making records .The fast incubation device is best for only use of the HBsAg reaction ,because the other four reaction process time is shorter ,and there are some non‐conformity results .

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the water extractives of regulating qi and blood prescription (WQBP) had effects on early atherosclerosis of apolipoprotein E-deficient mice (ApoE-mice) at the age of 19 weeks or not, and to explore the possible mechanisms. METHODS: Forty ApoE-mice, six weeks of age, were given high-fat diet and randomly divided into four groups: high-dose WQBP-treated group (360 mg/kg), low-dose WQBP-treated group (72 mg/kg), simvastatin-treated group (25 mg/kg) and untreated group, with ten mice in each group. Meanwhile, ten C57BL/6 mice of same genetic background were allocated to normal control group. Mice in the high- and low-dose WQBP-treated groups and simvastatin-treated group were administered with corresponding drugs from the 15 to 19 weeks. Mice in the untreated and normal control groups were administered with isovolumic water. Sacrificed at 19 weeks, the level of blood-lipid, the plaque construction, plaque integral, and the contents of plaque macrophages and vessel smooth muscle cells of the mice were analyzed by immunohistochemical method and a computer picture processing system. RESULTS: Compared to the untreated group, high-dose WQBP group could obviously decrease the level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Simvastatin group could decrease the levels of LDL-C and total cholesterol (TC) (P<0.01). In high-dose WQBP-treated group and simvastatin-treated group, the thickness of fiber cap and the quantities of vessel smooth muscle cells increased (P<0.05), the quantities of plaque macrophages and the ratio of lipid and plaque reduced (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: WQBP and simvastatin can interfere in early atherosclerosis of ApoE-mice, attenuate and stabilize plaque in some extent. The mechanisms may include adjusting blood lipid, decreasing macrophage number and increasing the quantities of vessel smooth muscle cells.

Objective Prospective comparison was done on concurrent chemo-radiotherapy and se- quential chemo-radiotherapy for unresectable stageⅢnon-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and to evaluate three different regimens of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy.Methods Ninety-six such patients were ran- domized into four groups:1.sequential chemo-radiotherapy group received two cycles of induction chemother- apy with 40 mg/m~2 of cisplatin on D 1-3,29-31 and 100 mg/m~2 of etoposide on D 1-3,29-31 before conven- tional radiotherapy,2.concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group 1 received 100 mg/m~2 etoposide on D 1-3 and DDP 40 mg/m~2 on D 1-3,D 29-31,iv.drip,3.concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group 2 received concurrent chemotherapy with 40 mg/m~2 of paclitaxel every Monday during conventional radiotherapy,4.concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group 3 received concurrent chemotherapy with 40 mg/m~2 of paclitaxel every Monday during three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy.All patients were irradiated with 2.0 Gy/fraction,5 frac- tions/week,to a total dose of 60-64 Gy.They all received two cycles of consolidation themotherapy with 40 mg/m~2 of cisplatin on D 1-3 and 100 mg/m~2 of etoposide on D 1-3.Results The overa/1 response rate was 67%,71%,71% and 79% for sequential ehemo-radiotherapy group,concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group 1,2 and 3,respectively.There was a significant difference between the concurrent chemo-radiotherapy and sequential chemo-radiotherapy(P＜0.05).The 1-,3-and 5-year overall survival rate(OS) was 54%,8% and 4%;71%,17% and 8%;79%,17% and 8%;83%,46% and 13%,respectively for the four groups. The difference among all these groups(P=0.017) was significant.It was also significant between the con- current chemo-radiotherapy group 1 and 3 (P=0.046).The difference of distant metastasis rate among all the groups was statistically insignificant (P＞0.05) also was the difference of toxicity (P＞0.05),but the severe toxicity of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy groups 1 and 2 were higher than the sequential chemo-radio- therapy group and concurrent chemo-radiotherapy group 3.Conclusions Better locoregional progression- free survival and overall survival of unresectable stageⅢnon-small cell lung cancer could be achieved by concurrent chemo-radiotherapy as compared with sequential chemo-radiotherapy though at the expense of in- crease in toxicity.With the combination of concurrent chemo-radiotherapy and conforrnal radiotherapy,the o- verall survival rate could be much improved with miider toxicity.
