ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the curative effect of sedation on broncholiths through bronchoscope with holmi-um laser. Methods From Jan.2008 to Dec. 2015, 12 cases with broncholiths through bronchoscope with holmium laser, male 7, female 5; the age from 35 to 64.12 cases visit a doctor when they cough, panting, haemoptysis and cough out stones. The predilection sites of bronchinal calculus: left main bronchus in 6, right middle bronchus in 4, main bronchus in 2. Thoracic computerized tomography was performed in 12 patients, which showed bronchial intra-luminal high-density shadow with distal bronchial stenosis, bronchiectasis, COPD, hilar calcifications, or mediastinal lymph node calcifications. Through bronchoscopy examination was performed in 12 cases, Broncholiths were found in 9 patients and granulomatous lesion wrapping hard lesions in 3 patients.12 cases were treated by using Dexmedeto-midine combined with Sufentanil for sedation through of bronchoscope with holmiun laser. Results All the operations were successful, the operation time 45~90 min, average 60 min . During the surgery, the patient have stable heart rate, oxygen saturation without falling, blood pressure is stable, stable hemodynamics, the patients did not complain of discomfort, without obvious heart and lung failure and other complications occurred, the operation without bleed-ing, pneumothorax, complications. All cases of postoperative respiratory system were improved after operation. The average time stay in hospital was (2.5 ± 1.4) days. Follow-up for 1~24 months (mean, 6 months) in 12 cases found no recurrence of stones and serious respiratory tract infection. Conclusions The method of Dexmedetomidine com-bined with Sufentanil for sedation on broncholiths through of bronchoscope with holmiun laser is safey, feasible and therapeutic effects were clearly, which provides a new method for the clinical on Broncholiths.
ABSTRACT
An economic and facilely prepared dopamine ( DA) sensor have been successfully fabricated by the electrodeposition of copper on single-walled carbon nanotubes ( SWNTs )/Nafion-modified glassy carbon electrode. The morphology of the material was observed by scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) and element composition of the material was investigated by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy ( EDX ) . Tests with various scan rates and pH conditions indicated that an adsorption-controlled process occured in the electrochemical system. The mechanism of the electrode reaction of dopamine involved a two-electron process which was accompanied by a deprotonation step. Electrochemical parameters were calculated with the electron transfer number as 2 . 67 , the charge transfer coefficients as 0 . 6 , the apparent heterogeneous electron transfer rate constant as 1. 38 s-1 . Under the optimal conditions with differential pulse voltammetric measurement, the linear equation was Ipa(μA)=-0. 054c (μmol/L)-3. 82(R2=0. 9988), with linear range of 5-100 μmol/L and detection limit of 0 . 0135 μmol/L ( S/N=3 ) . The main advantages of sensor included facile fabrication approach, high sensitivity, good stability and high reproducibility. The sensor was applied to the detection of DA in volunteer urine by differential pulse voltammetry with favorable recoveries of 96 . 5%-100 . 4% and relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 1. 2%-2. 4%.
ABSTRACT
Objective To understand clinical characteristics of primary pulmonary cryptococcosis (PPC),so as to provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Clinical data of 32 patients who were confirmed PPC by pathological diagnosis in a hospital from January 2008 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. Results All 32 cases were community-acquired infection ,26 male and 6 female (age between 17 and 62 years old, the average age was (35.53 ± 11 .29).Among 32 patients,8 had underlying diseases,2 were parturients,4 were carpenters,5 were pigeon keepers,3 were seafood transport drivers,and 10 lived in humid environment.Imaging findings:Solitary or multiple nodules and cluster shape(n=21),lobar consolidation(n=2),diffuse patchy shadow on bilateral lung (n=5),pulmonary cavity(n=3),and diffuse and mixed lesions (n=1).Pathological confirmation:di-agnosis through percutaneous lung biopsy(n=23),thoracoscopic surgery(n=7),and thoracotomy(n=2).Progno-sis:30 were cured,and 2 had marked effect.Conclusion PPC is commonly occurs in young and middle-aged immu-nocompetent persons,the onset is occult,clinical manifestations and imaging features lack specificity,can be easily misdiagnosed or omitted diagnosis,diagnosis is difficult,lack rapid diagnostic method in clinical practice,invasive pathological biopsy can be used as the basis of diagnosis;there is a controversy on therapy,adverse reaction of flu-conazol is mild,and has good therapeutic effect.
