Objective To understand the latest research developments of the formation mechanism of psammoma body in human tumors and related issues. Methods Related domestic and foreign literatures were widely referred, analyzed, and reviewed. Results Psammoma body is unique pathological calcification in some tumors, which is arranged in concentric, laminar circles microscopically. Psammoma body is commonly seen in thyroid papillary carcinoma, meningiomas, ovarian serous papillary carcinoma, and so on. Conclusions Although arranged in concentric, laminar circles microscopically in tumor, the formation process of psammoma body is not entirely the same in different tumors. A comprehensive and objective understanding of psammoma body would be useful in cancer diagnosis and treatment.
Objective To summarize the experience of open heart operation on neonates with critical and complex congenital heart diseases and evaluate the methods of perioperative management. Methods From May 2001 to January 2003, 12 patients of neonates with congenital heart diseases underwent emergency operation. Their operating ages ranged from 6 to 30 days, the body weights were 2.8 to 4.5 kg. Their diagnoses included D-transposition of the great arteries in 4 cases, ventricular septal defect with atrial septal defect in 5 cases, complete atrioventricular septal defect, obstructed supracardiac total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage and cardiac rhabdomyomas in 1 case respectively. 12 cases were operated under moderate or deep hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results All cases were observed in ICU for 2-11 days and discharged 7-19 days after operation. The postoperative complications included low cardiac output, mediastinal infection, respiratory distress syndrome, systemic capillary leak syndrome and acute renal failure. All cases were cured and the follow-up (from 6 months to 2 years) showed satisfactory outcome. Conclusion A particular cardiopulmonary bypass and proper perioperative management is very important to ensure the successful outcome. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective and safe method for treating acute renal failure after cardiac operation in neonates.
Objective To summarize the visual outcome of patients with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery. Methods Clinical data of 188(191 eyes) with severe ocular trauma treated with vitreous surgery in a period from November 1996 to April 1998 were analysed retrospectively. Results The study included penetrating injury in 56 eyes, foreign bodies in the posterior segment in 70 eyes, blunt injury in 41 eyes , and globe rupture in 24 eyes. Main complications included endophthalmitis in 35 eyes, choroidal bleeding in 20 eyes, retinal detachment in 60 eyes, and vitreous hemorrhage in 97 eyes. Post-opera-tively, out of 188 eyes, except for 3 of patients too young to examine, visual acuity improved in 133(70.7%), including 85(45.2%) with visal acuity 0.02-1.0, 46(24.5%) remained unchanged; and 9(4.8%) had worse vision. Among 34 with no-light-perception, 12 had light-perception or over. Conclusion A majority of severe trauma eyes can be salvaged with considerable visual recovery after adequate and timely vitreous surgery. (Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis,1999,15:4-6)
Objective To construct vectors that express phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase, catalytic, beta polypeptide （PIK3cb） shRNA in eukaryon plasmid catalyzed by PI3K in rat, then test their effects on intimal hyperplasia in transplanted vein graft. Methods One hundred and fifty SD rats were randomly divided into six groups （n=25, in each group）: blank (25% Pluronic F-127), shRNA-1, shRNA-2, 1/2 （shRNA-1+shRNA-2）, negative control (pGenesil-1 scramble shRNA) and positive control （wortmannin） group. The jugular vein in rats were interpositioned autologously into the common carotid artery. shRNA and 25% Pluronic F-127 were mixed and coated around the transplanted vein in three PIK3cb shRNA groups. Every 5 samples were removed according to the time point (1, 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after operation), respectively. The thickness of intima and neointima area were calculated and analyzed by computer system. The PCNA expression was detected by Western blot and SP immunohistochemistry. Results The intimal thickness of three PIK3cb shRNA groups were lower than those in the blank group and negative control group on day 3, 7, 14, 28 after operation (P＜0.05); The neointima area in three PIK3cb shRNA groups (except shRNA-2 group on day 3, 7) began to decrease significantly from day one (P＜0.05). The protein expression of PCNA in three PIK3cb shRNA groups on day 3 after operation were decreased compared with blank group and negative group (P＜0.05). The percentage of the PCNA positive cells area in three PIK3cb shRNA groups were significantly lower than those in blank group and negative control group in each time point (Plt;0.05). There were no significant differences between blank and negative control group in different time points (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion The PIK3cb shRNA can effectively inhibit the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cell, which may provide a new gene therapy for the prevention of vein graft restenosis after bypass grafting.
【摘要】 目的 觀察不同劑量的舒芬太尼用于剖宮產術后硬膜外自控鎮痛的效果比較。 方法 將2009年4-11月60例硬膜外麻醉下行剖宮產手術術后的患者隨機分為三組，術后鎮痛液A組采用0.125%羅哌卡因復合0.3 μg/mL舒芬太尼；B組為0.125%羅哌卡因復合0.4 μg/mL舒芬太尼；C組0.125%羅哌卡因復合0.5 μg/mL舒芬太尼，觀察三組患者的術后鎮痛效果（視覺模擬法評分，即VAS評分）及不良反應。 結果 A組VAS評分高于B組和C組，B組VAS評分高于C組（Plt;0.05）。三組患者術后惡心嘔吐、運動阻滯、嗜睡及腸蠕動抑制等并發癥無統計學差異（Pgt;0.05）。 結論 0.125%羅哌卡因復合0.5 μg/mL舒芬太尼以4 mL/h持續輸注用于剖宮產術后患者自控硬膜外鎮痛術后疼痛VAS評分最小，患者鎮痛滿意度最高。【Abstract】 Objective To observe the effect of postoperative patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) with three different doses of sufentanil combined with 0.125% ropivacaine after cesarean section. Methods Data was collected from April 2009 to November 2009. Sixty patients after cesarean section under continuous epidural anesthesia were randomly divided into three different groups.Group A was given sufentanil 0.3 μg/mL and 0.125% ropivacaine for PCEA, group B was given sufentanil 0.4 μg/mL and 0.125% ropivacaine, group C was given sufentanil 0.5 μg/mL and 0.125% ropivacaine. The analgesia effects were evaluated by the visual analogue scales (VAS). Side effects were also recorded. Results The VAS scores were significantly the highest in group A than that in group B and group C, the VAS scores in group B were higher than that in group C (Plt;0.05). The incidence of side effects, such as postoperative nausea and vomiting, lethargy, and pruritus, was not significant among the three groups (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion 0.5 μg/ mL sufentanil and 0.125% ropivacaine recommended for PCEA with background 4 mL/h is safe and effective for patients after cesarean section.
