ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the serum and urine levels of neutrophil gelatinase‐associated lipocalin(NGAL) in patients with primary hypertension and related clinical significance .Methods A total of 107 patients with primary hypertension and 100 healthy subjects were enrolled ,and detected for serum and urine levels of NGAL and urinary micro‐albumin .Results Serum and u‐rine levels of NGAL in hypertension patients were (1 .98 ± 1 .49) and (1 .29 ± 0 .54)μg/L ,higher than the (0 .69 ± 1 .02) and (0 .55 ± 0 .35)μg/L in healthy subjects(P< 0 .05) .Urinary micro‐albumin level in hypertension patients was also higher than healthy subjects (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Serum and urine levels of NGAL in patients with primary hypertension could be signifi‐cantly increased ,which might be with important clinical significance in diagnosis ,treatment and prognosis of hypertensive nephropa‐thy .
ABSTRACT
Objective:To study the effect of sufentanil combined with dezocine on the PCIA after abdominal operation. Methods:Totally 110 patients undergoing abdominal operation were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 55 cases in each. The two groups were both treated with electronic analgesia pump for the PCIA after the operation. The control group was given dezocine 0. 3 mg·kg-1 ,and the experimental group was given sufentanil injections 0. 1 g·kg-1 plus dezocine 0. 3 mg·kg-1 . The VAS score,adverse drug reactions,Ramesay scores,press number of patient controlled analgesia,exhaust time,recovery time of bowel sounds and bowel audio rate index in the two groups were compared to evaluate the effect of PCIA. Results:All the observed in-dices in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group(P<0. 01). The incidence of adverse reactions in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group(P<0. 01). Conclusion:Sufentanil combined with dezocine for the PCIA after abdominal operation shows significantly analgesic and sedative effects,and can notably improve the clinical symptoms,which is worthy of clinical application.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE@#To compare the levels of the fasting blood glucose (FBG) and blood fat of the patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) before and after surgery, meanwhile to analyze the influence on blood glucose and blood fat after the changes of body mass index (BMI), apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and lowest oxygen saturation (LSpO2).@*METHOD@#Thirty-one patients with severe OSAHS were performed Z-palatoplasty (ZPP) or ZPP combined with genioglossus advancement with hyoid suspension (GAHM). Cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein (HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL) and FBG were detected before and after surgery.@*RESULT@#Preoperative HDL was negatively related to BMI and AHI, but not LSpO2. After surgery the BMI, AHI, LSpO2, HDL and FBG were all improved. The change of HDL had correlation with the changes of BMI and AHI, and there was linear correlation with HDL and BMI (r= -0.36).@*CONCLUSION@#The surgery of ZPP and ZPP combined with GAHM can improve the AHI, LSpO2, BMI, the FBG and blood fat of the patients with OSAHS. Lose weight and rectifying sleep disordered breathing were important to improve glycolipid metabolism disorder of the patients with OSAHS.

Objective To evaluate the influences of laryngeal mask airway(LMA) combined with epidural anesthesia on hemodynamics in hypertensive patients.Methods 72 gynecological patients with stage Ⅰ to Ⅱ hypertension were randomly divided into four groups(n=18 for each):general anesthesia with tracheal intubation(group G) or LMA(group L),combination of epidural anesthesia and general anesthesia with tracheal intubation(group GE) or LMA(group LE).BP,HR,ECG,SpO2 were monitored in different time.Intraoperative awareness,the time of extubation or LMA removal and anesthetic dosages were recorded.Results During insertion of the tube or LMA,SBP,DBP,HR were significantly higher than those before anesthesia in group G and GE(P
ABSTRACT
Objective To apply James Sheehy myringoplasty for treatment of large perforation without residual rim and to observe the efficacy.Methods Between January 2001 and June 2003, 60 patients with large perforation without residual rim had underwent James Sheehy myringoplasty, in which 36 were males and 24 were females, aged from 16 to 64 years and with an average of 45.23 years. Preoperative air-bone gap was 5 to 45 dB, averaged 28.5 dB. Fellow-up was done more than 6 months on 54 patients.The key technic: (1) a vascular skin flap was made on the posterior canal wall and the anterior canal wall skin was excised. (2) canaloplasty was performed until the whole tympanic sulcus can be seen under one microscope view. (3) if necessary, the ossicular chain was explored. (4) overlay technic was used to repair perforation with temporal fascia. (5) the free anterior skin and the posterior canal vascular flap were replaced.Results 52 patients were healed in one stage. In 2 patient, two needle tip-like perforations appeared in the center of the grafting tympanic membrane 3 months after surgery, which were closed after gelatin sponge patching. The shape of the tympanic membrane looked as normal. Symptoms of temporomandabular joint appeared in 6 patients and disappeared 3 days later. Lateral displacement of the graft happened in 2 patients.Conclusion James Sheehy myringoplasty is a reliable technique for treatment of large perforation without residual rim, with high success rate, less postoperative response and good shape of new tympanic membrane.
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid detection of the West Nile virus (WNV).Methods WNV genome (position nt 1 021 to nt 1 240) was synthesized by a PCR-based gene synthesis method.The synthetic fragments included 6 pairs of LAMP primer recognizing 8 primer sites of WNV genome.The LAMP gene amplification was carried out using a real-time PCR system at 63℃ for 60 min,then the amplification was terminated at 80℃ after 2 min.The amplification products were observed by agarose gel electrophoresis.The sensitivity and specificity of LAMP assay were compared with those of conventional PCR.Results The LAMP assay took less than 20 min,and the amplification product took on a ladder-like electrophoresis pattern.The sensitivity of LAMP assay was 10-fold higher than that of conventional PCR,and the detection limit of LAMP was 9.23 copies/?l.The specificity of WNV-specific LAMP assay was demonstrated by the negative amplification results from dengue virus and Japanese encephalitis virus,both were closely related members of the Flavivirus family.Conclusion LAMP assay is rapid,cost-effective,highly sensitive and specific in detecting genes of interest,and is of great significance for WNV surveillance,especially for grass root units and on-sport surveillance.
