Objective To compare the sonographic features as well as clinical histopathological features of follicular variant papillary thyroid carcinoma(FVPTC) and conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPTC) in pediatric patients.Methods From Jan.2006 to Dec.2017,26 FVPTC patients and 82 CPTC patients were enrolled in this study.The clinical histopathological findings and the sonographic features were compared between the two groups.FVPTCs and CPTCs were divided into PTC-like and follicular neoplasm(FN)-like based on sonographic characteristics.Results The mean nodule size of FVPTCs was larger than that of conventional PTCs.Extrathyroid invasion and cervical lymph node metastasis did not have significant difference between CPTC and FVPTC patients(53.8％ vs 62.2％ and 76.9％ vs 82.9％,respectively).Multiple nodules(P=0.000)and distant pulmonary metastases(P=0.024) were more frequent in CPTCs than in FVPTCs(P＜0.05).The rate of an ill-defined margin (P=0.000) and calcification (P=0.003)in terms of sonographic features were lower in FVPTCs than conventional PTCs(P＜0.05).A Ⅴ+Ⅵ diagnosis of PTC on FNAC of FVPTCs was less common than that of conventional PTCs (P=0.014).Multifocality(P=0.000),extrathyroidal invasion (P=0.000),and lymph node metastasis (P=0.000) were significantly different between PTC-like FVPTCs and FN-like FVPTCs.Conclusion FVPTC in children and adolescents shows a relatively larger size,more benign sonographic features,and a lower diagnostic rate of PTC by FNAC compared with conventional PTCs in pediatric patients.

Objective To determine the effects of different doses of cisatracurium on motor e-voked potential of neurosurgery operation.Methods Sixty patients,36 males and 24 females,aged 18 to 65 years,ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,scheduled for spinal surgery with motor evoked potential monitoring,were included and randomly assigned to three groups.A single dose of cisatra-curium besilate for injection was given by intravenous injection in 5 s after the induction of general an-esthesia,respectively 0.1 mg/kg (group A),0.1 5 mg/kg (group B)and 0.2 mg/kg (group C).Cas-cade Elite 32 channel monitor was used to monitor MEPs,the electrode was stimulated for once two minutes after given the muscle relaxant,and the leading time of the wave of MEPs was recorded. Cooper’s score was used to evaluate the intubation conditions.Results The appearance time of the wave of motor evoked potentials was significantly longer in group C [(39.60±1.79)min]than that in groups A [(20.10 ± 1.89 )min]and B [(20.50 ± 1.93 )min](P < 0.05 ).The intubation conditions was significantly better in group B (100%)and C (100%)than that in group A (65%)(P<0.05).Conclusion The shortest time to elicit waveform of MEPs using the dose of cisatracurium is 0.1 5 mg/kg at induction of general anesthesia,which is better for tracheal intubation.The dose 0.1 5 mg/kg of cisatracurim is recommended as the initial dose on neurosurgery operation with motor e-voked potential monitoring.

Objective To detect the protective effect of sufentanil preconditioning on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats and the role of c-Jun N-terminal kinase signal pathway in the mech-enism.Methods One hundred and sixty-two SD rats(in either gender,weighing 250-300 g)were ran-domly divided into seven groups:Sham-operated group (group S,n = 30 ),ischemia-reperfusion group (group IR,n =30),sufentanil preconditioning group (group SF1:1 μg/kg,n =30;group SF5:5 μg/kg,n =30;group SF10:10 μg/kg,n =30),SP600125 group (group SP,n =30),and dimethyl sulphoxide control group (group DMSO,n =6),different doses of sufentanil was administered 30 min before hepatic ischemia in group SF1,SF5 and SF10.Blood and liver samples were collected from each group at 0(T1 ),1 (T2 ),2 (T3 ),4 (T4 ),and 6 (T5 )hours after reperfusion.Serum alanine amin-otransferase (ALT)and aspartate aminotransferase (AST)were measured by an automatic biochemi-cal analyzer.Malondialdehyde (MDA)and superoxide dismutase (SOD)in liver tissue was measured. Liver sample was stained with HE to observe the hepatic pathological changes.Immunohistochemical method was used to determine the expression of JNK and western blotting was used to detect the ex-pression of P-JNK.Results Compared with group S,levels of AST,ALT increased significantly in group IR,SF1,SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP,DMSO at T3 (P <0.05 ).Compared with group IR,levels of AST,ALT decreased significantly in group SF1,SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP at T3 (P <0.05).Compared with group S,levels of MDA,SOD increased significantly in group IR,SF1, SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP,DMSO at T3 (P < 0.05 ).Compared with group IR,levels of MDA,SOD decreased significantly in group SF1,SF5,SF10 at T1-T5 and in group SP at T3 (P <0.05).Compared with group SF1 and SF5,levels of MDA,SOD decreased significantly in SF10 at T4 . Compared with T1 ,the expression of p-JNK in group IR increased significantly at T3 (P < 0.05 ). Compared with group S,the expression of p-JNK in groups IR,SF1,SF5,SF10,SP,DMSO increased significantly at T3 (P < 0.05 ).Compared with group IR,the expression of p-JNK in groups SF1, SF5,SF10,SP decreased significantly and that in groups SF5,SF10 were less than that in group SF1 (P <0.05 ).The expression of p-JNK in group SF10 was less than that in group SF5 (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion Sufentanil preconditioning can reduce the hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury and the dos-age of 10 μg/kg was the most effective.The protective mechanisms may inhibit JNK pathway and re-duce the expression of JNK.

This study aims to clarify out the anti-inflammatory mechanism of Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan. Chemical constituents of Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan identified by UPLC Q-TOF, were submit to Molinspiration, PharmMapper and KEGG bioinformatics softwares for predicting their absorption parameters, target proteins and related pathways respectively; and the gene chip and real time-PCR were carried out to investigate the expression of inflammatory genes on lung tissue of guinea pigs or human bronchial epithelial cell lines. The predicted results showed that 19 of the 24 absorbable constituents affected at 9 inflammation-related pathways through 11 protein targets; Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan treatment can significantly reduce the infiltration of cytokines through ERK1 gene and 5 inflammatory pathways (Focal adhesion, Fc epsilon RI, Toll-like receptors, NK cell-mediated cytotoxic, and ERK/MAPK). The results of real time-PCR further confirmed that the anti-inflammatory effects of Qingfei Xiaoyan Wan were due to active ingredients such as arctigenin, cholic acid and sinapic acid intervened focal adhesion, Fc epsilon RI signaling and ERK/MAPK pathways. The novel approach of 'drug-target-pathway' will present an effective strategy for the study of traditional Chinese medicines.
