ABSTRACT
Objective To study the application of regional localization method in the thoracoscopic resection of small pulmonary nodule.Methods Sixty-eight cases of small pulmonary nodules were located by applying the small pulmonary nodules regional localization method,and the clinical effect was intraoperatively observed.The ROC curve was used to find the best node for the nodule maximum diameter and minimum distance from the pleural.Results The once successful localization was obtained in 65 cases with the success rate of 95.6％.The best node of the maximum diameter of small pulmonary nodules was 1.0 cm,and the shortest distance from the pleura was 1.3 cm.Conclusion The regional localization method in the thoracoscopic resection of small pulmonary nodule has high accuracy.
ABSTRACT
Purpose To investigate the expression of the Cx43 and E-cad protein in esophageal carcinoma and normal esophageal tis-sue and to discuss their relationship. Methods SP immunohistochemical and Western blot analysis were used to detect the expression of Cx43 and E-cad in esophageal carcinoma and normal esophageal tissue. The relation between their expression and esophageal carci-noma was investigated. Results Immunohistochemical assay and Western blot analysis showed the expression levels of Cx43 and E-cad in esophageal carcinoma were significantly lower than that in normal esophageal tissue. The expression of Cx43 had correlation with lymph node metastasis. The expression of E-cad had correlation with degrees of pathological differentiation. There was a positive rela-tionship between the expression of Cx43 and E-cad in same sample. Conclusion Expression of Cx43 and E-cad protein is low in e-sophageal carcinoma, which can be helpful in the prediction of the biological behavior and prognosis of esophageal carcinoma.
ABSTRACT
Objective To modify gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for determination of plasma sufentanil concentrations.Methods Fentanyl was used as the internal standard.The plasma samples were extracted with ethyl acetate and petroleum ether.An HP-5MS capillary column was used.The initial temperature of the column was set at 130 ℃,and the final temperature was 320 ℃.The injector port temperature was set at 290 ℃,and the interface temperature was 300 ℃.The carrier gas was high purity helium (purity 99.999％) with a constant flow rate of 1 ml/min.The injection volume was 1 μl with splitless injection.The MS conditions were as follows:EI source,ion source temperature 230 ℃,four-pole temperature 150 ℃,electron bombardment energy 70 eV,multiply voltage 2112 V,selective ion monitoring mode,solvent delay 7 min.The characteristic ions of sufentanil and fentanyl were obtained in 8.20-8.40 min and 7.60-7.80 min,respectively,according to the characteristic ion curve of sufentanil and fentanyl.Results The standard curve of sufentanil had good linear relationship in the range of 0.02-10.00 ng/ml and the equation was Y =0.1625X + 0.0316,R2 =0.9987.The extraction recovery was more than 80％,intra-day and inter-day determinations were less than 8％,and the limit of detection was 0.02 ng/ml.Conclusion When modified GC-MS is applied to determine the concentrations of sufentanil in plasma,not only the determination is sensitive and accurate,but also the procedures are simplified,and it is more suitable for the pharmacological research of sufentanil.
ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of extracorporeal cjrcuit on the concentration of sufentanil the priming solution.Methods The extracorporeal circuit (ECC) of Xi-jing-90 type (group A) was used in the study,while incontrol group (group B) a glass container was used.The ECC and glass container were filled with priming solution (succinylated Gelatin 1000 ml + lactated Ringer's solution 1000 ml).Sufentanil 15 μg was then added to the priming solution (the final concentration was 7.5 ng/ml).The priming solution was circulated in the closed ECC or stirred in the glass container.The concentration of sufentanil in the priming solution was determined at 3,5,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80 and 90 min after addition of sufentanil by gas chromatography.Results The sufentanil concentration in.the priming solution decreased in group A at the different time points respectively as compared with group B (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Sufentanil can significantly be absorbed by the extracorporeal circuit.
