ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with low tidal volume ventilation on lung function in patients with lower abdominal operation.Methods Sixty elderly patients who underwent elective lower abdominal operation were divided into three groups by random digits table method:the conventional tidal volume group (group A),penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with conventional tidal volume group (group B) and penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with low tidal volume group (group C),20 cases in each group.The patients in group B and group C were given penehyclidine hydrochloride 0.01 mg/kg before induction of anesthesia.The patients in group A were given equal volume of saline.After induction of anesthesia and mechanical ventilation modes:the patients in group A and group B were given tidal volume 10 ml/kg,the patients in group C were given tidal volume 6 ml/kg.After mechanical ventilation in anesthetized (T1),1 h after anesthesia (T2),2 h after anesthesia (T3),8 h after anesthesia (T4),24 h after anesthesia (T5),the level of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α),interleukin-6 (IL-6),pH,arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2),the calculation of oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) were measured and compared.The pulmonary complications after operation 1 day were recorded.Results The level of TNF-α,IL-6 in three patients at T1 had no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The level of TNF-α,IL-6 at T2-5 in group C were significantly lower than those in group A and group B (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group A and group B,the level of PaO2 and PaO2/FiO2 at T2-5 were increased in group C (P ＜ 0.05).None pulmonary complications were occurred in three groups.Conclusions Penehyclidine hydrochloride combined with low tidal volume ventilation may improve arterial oxygen in patients with lower abdominal operation,reduce the lung injury induced by mechanical ventilation,protective effect on lung function.
ABSTRACT
The data collected from some hospitals by searching literature, consulting experts, communicating and reviewing with doctors and database providers were analyzed with how to rationally select and use medical informa-tion proposed.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the effects of different blood-saving strategies on postoperative cellular immune function in patients undergoing resection for liver cancers.Methods Sixty-six ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 25-64 yr,with hepatocellular carcinoma classification G1-G3 and clinicopathological staging Ⅰ-Ⅳ,undergoing elective resection for liver cancers,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =22 each) using a random number table:low central venous pressure group (L group),acutenormovolemic hemodilution group (A group),and acute normovolemic hemodilution combined with low central venous pressure group (AL group).Acute normovolemic hemodilution was performed after endotracheal intubation.Right jugular vein was cannulated for central venous pressure monitoring.Blood withdrawn from the radial artery at a rate of 25-40 ml/min was simultaneously replaced by iv infusion of the equal volume of 130/0.4 hydroxyethyl starch at the same rate until the target Hct (30％) was achieved.In A and AL groups,central venous pressure was maintained at 3-5 cm H2O during the procedure of liver parenchyma transection.Peripheral venous blood samples were taken before operation (T1,baseline) and on postoperative days 1,3 and 5 (T2-4) to determine the percentage of regulatory T-lymphocytes (CD4 + CD25 +,CD25 + Foxp3+),effective T-lymphocytes (CD8 +,CD4 + CD25-) and natural killer (NK) cells by flow cytometry.Results Compared with the baseline value at T1,the percentage of CD4 + CD25 +and CD25 + Foxp3+ was significantly decreased,and the percentage of CD8 + and CD4 + CD25-was increased at T3,4,and the percentage of NK cells was decreased at T2 in A and AL groups,and the percentage of CD4 + CD25 +and CD25 + Foxp3+ was decreased,and the percentage of CD8 + and CD4 + CD25-was increased at T4,and the percentage of NK cells was decreased at T2,3 in group L (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with L group,the percentage of CD4 + CD25 + and CD25 + Foxp3+ was significantly decreased at T3,the percentage of CD8 + was increased at T3,4,and the percentage of NK cells was increased at T3 in AL group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Acute normovolemic hemodilution combined with low central venous pressure provides slighter inhibitory effect on the immune function of T-lymphocytes and NK cells in patients undergoing resection for liver cancers than either alone.
ABSTRACT
As a basic teaching method in the medical education system represented by British and USA, overseas elective posting for medical student is playing significant role in enriching medical students’ internship experience as well as improving their comprehensive knowledge and skills. Besides it’s also essential for cultivating modern and high-quality medical talents in line with international stan-dard. Therefore the purpose of the paper is to provide some references for carrying out international ex-change at students’ level smoothly in domestic medical universities and colleges by simply introducing some good experiences and measures from several typical foreign medical colleges.
ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo provide decision-making information support for recognizing research trends, selecting frontier science and technology, shaping reasonable science and technology distribution, a visualization analysis was applied to the international liver stem cell research. Methods Based on bibliometric method and visualization analysis tools, various fields including publication years, countries of publications, journals and organizations were analyzed exhaustively on publications of international liver stem cells which were searched in Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE).In addition, details on main subjects, evolution and research fronts were presented in this paper. Results 1092 publications were searched in SCIE,which were growing rapidly since 2000.The production of China is far behind United States of America and Japan. Publications were distributed in concentrated journals but involved multidisciplinary. Liver stem cells research evolution basically experienced identification,sources,basic application. Research fronts include cell identifications, liver regeneration, cell differentiation, expression of exogenous genes,etc. Conclusion China should increase the liver stem cell funding, strengthen cooperation with the top institutes, independent innovation, leading liver stem cells research from basic research to clinical research.
