RESUMO
Objective To observe the effects of transdermal acupoint electric stimulation(TEAS)assisting sodium nitroprus-side induced controlled hypotension on serum glucose (Glu),angiotensin Ⅱ (ATⅡ)and superoxide dismutase (SOD),and to inves-tigate the protective effect of TEAS under controlled hypotension anesthesia.Methods 60 cases undergoing elective endoscopy si-nus surgery by adopting sodium nitroprusside induced controlled hypotension under general anaesthesia maintained the mean arterial pressure(MAP)in 50-60 mm Hg and were randomly and equally divided into two groups.The group Ⅰ conducted TEAS,while the group Ⅱ did not conduct TEAS.The controlled hypotension time and surgery time were recorded in the two groups;Glu and ATⅡ values were detected before anesthesia (T0 ),30 min after hypotension (T1 ),hypotension stopping(T2 );SOD was detected at T0 ,T2 ,30 min after hypotension(T3 ).Results The operation time and controlled hypotension continuous time had no statistically significant difference between the two groups(P >0.05).The Glu value in the group Ⅰ had no statistically significant difference a-mong the 3 time points,while which at T1 ,T2 was higher than that at T0 in the group Ⅱ(P 0.05),which at T1 ,T2 in the group Ⅱwas higher than that in the group Ⅰ (P <0.05);the SOD value at T2 was lower than that at T0 in the group Ⅰ,which at T2 ,T3 in the group Ⅱwas lower than that in the group Ⅰ(P <0.05).Conclusion TEAS assisting sodium nitroprusside controlled hypotension can better in-hibit the stress response.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Understanding the difference of miRNA-34s expression in normal tissue and tumor tissue wil contribute to screen out a miRNA with high sensitivity as the specific tumor molecular marker. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the differential expression of miRNA-34s (miR-34a/b/c) between normal skin and keloid tissue using real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR, and to evaluate the role and mechanisms of miRNA-34s in keloid formation and development. METHODS:Ten cases of keloid tissue and two cases of normal skin tissue were col ected as specimens. Total RNAs were extracted from keloid and nomal skin tissue by Trizol method, and miRNA-34s were further isolated by Ambion’s miRNA Isolation Kit. Real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was applied to verify expression levels of microRNA-34s (miR-34a/b/c) in keloid tissue and normal skin tissue. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:miRNA-34s (miRNA-34a/b/c) expression was down-regulated in keloid tissue compared with normal skin tissue (P<0.01). The findings showed that miRNA-34s (miRNA-34a/b/c) are involved in keloid formation and development, and down-regulation of the family member may result in neoplastic growth of keloid.
RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the diagnostic role of computed tomographic dacryocystography (CTDCG) in lacrimal path damage and provide operative approach guidance for the endoscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy (DCR).@*METHOD@#Twenty-eight cases with lacrimal path damage underwent CTDCG. The following reconstruction techniques including volume rendering (VR), multiple planar reconstruction (MPR), maximum intensity projection (MIP) and three-dimensional reconstruction (3-d R) were done on the real-time workstation. The morphology of dacryocyst, displacement fracture of the lacrimal fossa (FS) and the relationship between the uncinate process (UP) and the FS were observed. The thickness of inner walls of anterosuperior and posteroinferior aspects of lacrimal fossa was measured.@*RESULT@#The morphology of dacryocyst, the displacement fracture of the lacrimal fossa and the block site of the lacrimal passage could be displayed clearly by CTDCG with the following reconstruction techniques including VR, MPR, MIP and 3-d R, 6 cases of canaliculus obstruction, 14 cases of lacrimal sac obstruction, 8 cases of lacrimonasal duct obstruction were showed. Meanwhile the relationship between the UP and the FS could also be showed clear. The average bony thickness of the anterosuperior part of FS was (2.96 +/- 0.30) mm, while the bony thickness of the posteroinferior half was (0.02 +/- 0.005) mm, and the distance between the top and bottom of dacryocyst to the operculum of the middle turbinated (OMT) are (6.80 +/- 1.50) mm, (4.00 +/- 1.80) mm respectively (P < 0.05).@*CONCLUSION@#The morphology of dacryocyst, the displacement fracture of the lacrimal fossa, block site of the lacrimal passage and the relationship between the UP and FS can be clearly displayed by CTDCG, which provide operative approach guidance for the endoscopic transnasal dacryocystorhinostomy.
