Effects of Different Doses of Epidural Midazolam on Spinal Somatosensory Evoked Potentials

Summary  The aim of this study is to find out the effects of different doses of midazolam, when used epidurally, on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) by delaying neuronal conduction. Thirty two New Zeland albino male rabbits were divided into four groups. All rabbits were anesthetised with ketamine and xylasine combination and atracurium was used as muscle relaxant. 10 mg/kg/hr ketamine infusion was used for maintenance of anesthesia. After insertion of the epidural catheter surgically; Group 1 received 1.5 ml isotonic saline (Control), Group 2 received 150 μg/kg, Group 3 received 250 μg/kg, and Group 4 received 500 μg/kg midazolam epidurally. With the stimulation of sciatic nerve, SEP records were recorded from the epidural space. Records were received before the injection of the drug, and 20, 40, 60 minutes after injection of the drug.  “Latancy” results were increased according to control in all groups (including isotonic saline-control-group). Increase in latancy in the control group was interpreted as due to the effect of temperature mismatch of the saline and the rabbits. While in the first and second group amplitudes showed no differences, group 3 and 4 showed decreases of up to 50%. Epidurally administered midazolam up to 150 μg/kg caused no change in SEP records, but 250 and 500 μg/kg doses caused decreases in SEP records which can lead to misinterpretation as neurological damage.     

应用高效液相色谱法检测男性不育患者精浆丙二醛水平

目的:探讨高效液相色谱法(HPLC)检测精浆中脂质过氧化产物丙二醛(MDA)水平的意义。方法:93例不育男性分为:阻塞性无精子症组(12例);非阻塞性无精子症组(15例);少精子症组(21例);弱精子症组(19例);少弱精子症组(16例);少弱畸精子症组(10例)。18例生育男性作为对照组。采用HPLC检测生育与不育男性精浆MDA含量。结果:生育组精浆MDA值除与阻塞性无精子症组差异无显著性(P>0.05)外,与其他各组相比均有极显著性差异(P均<0.01)。各不育男性组间精浆MDA值也有统计学差异。结论:应用HPLC检测精浆MDA水平是诊断活性氧产生过高所致男性不育的一个重要指标。     

高血糖高渗状态患者124例临床分析

目的探讨高血糖高渗状态(HHS)患者的病死率与器官功能衰竭、血浆渗透压、年龄的关系。方法回顾分析我院1997年￣2003年住院的124例HHS患者的临床资料。结果①124例HHS患者病死率为38.7%。②病死率与器官功能衰竭显著正相关,且与所并发器官功能衰竭的个数成正比。③病死率与年龄、血浆渗透压正相关。结论治疗HHS的同时积极防治器官功能衰竭是降低死亡率的关键。     

Immune responses against SARS-coronavirus nucleocapsid protein induced by DNA vaccine

The nucleocapsid （N） protein of SARS-coronavirus （SARS-CoV） is the key protein for the formation of the helical nucleocapsid during virion assembly. This protein is believed to be more conserved than other proteins of the virus, such as spike and membrane glycoprotein. In this study, the N protein of SARS-CoV was expressed in Escherichia coli DHSalpha and identified with pooled sera from patients in the convalescence phase of SARS. A plasmid pCI-N, encoding the full-length N gene of SARS-CoV, was constructed. Expression of the N protein was observed in COS1 cells following transfection with pCI-N. The immune responses induced by intramuscular immunization with pCI-N were evaluated in a murine model. Serum anti-N immunoglobutins and splenocytes proliferative responses against N protein were observed in immunized BALB/c mice. The major immunoglobulin G subclass recognizing N protein was immunoglobulin G2a, and stimulated splenocytes secreted high levels of gamma interferon and IL-2 in response to N protein. More importantly, the immunized mice produced strong delayed-type hypersensitivity （DTH） and CD^8＋ CTL responses to N protein.

Catastrophic Periprosthetic Osteolysis in Total Hip Arthroplasty at 20 Years: A Case Report and Literature Review

BackgroundPeriprosthetic osteolysis is a serious complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, most orthopedic surgeons only focus on bone loss and hip reconstruction. Thus, it was required to understand the treatment algorithm for periprosthetic osteolysis integrally.Case PresentationA 52‐year‐old Asian male presented with chronic hip pain. A mass appeared on the medial side of the proximal left thigh at more than 20 years after bilateral THA. Radiographs revealed catastrophic periprosthetic osteolysis, especially on the acetabular side. Large amounts of necrotic tissue and bloody fluids were thoroughly debrided during revision THA. A modular hemipelvic prosthesis was used for revision of the left hip. Four years later, the patient presented with right hip pain, where a mass appeared on the medial side of the proximal right thigh. A primary acetabular implant with augment was used for revision of the right hip. Laboratory evaluation of bloody fluid retrieved from surgery revealed elevated levels of inflammatory markers.ConclusionInflammatory responses to polyethylene wear debris can lead to severe bone resorption and aseptic loosening in the long‐term following THA. Therefore, in spite of revision THA, interrupting the cascade inflammatory might be the treatment principle for periprosthetic osteolysis.     

剖宫产术后再次妊娠阴道分娩的研究

随着剖宫产率的逐年上升,剖宫产术后再次妊娠率也随之增加.术后再次妊娠能否经阴道分娩已成为产科医生重视的问题.近年越来越多的研究从剖官产术后阴道分娩的适应证、禁忌证、高危因素、注意事项、缩宫素的应用、影响因素、优越性及危险性等方面探讨阴道试产的可行性.研究证实,剖宫产史并非再次妊娠剖宫产的绝对指征,剖宫产术后阴道分娩与再次剖宫产相比利多弊少,选择合适的病例进行阴道试产是安全可行的.     

Intraocular lens-blocking technique for intraocular foreign body removal

The aim of this study was to describe a novel technique for intraocular foreign body (IOFB) removal. Phacoemulsification was performed in all patients, followed by a complete microincision vitrectomy to free all tissues surrounding the IOFB. A three-piece intraocular lens (IOL) was placed in the capsular bag, and an opening was made in the upper center of the capsule. The IOFB was removed and lifted to the anterior chamber through the capsular opening and IOL edge. The IOFB was confined to the anterior chamber by the IOL, and then easily extracted through the main corneal incision. The technique was adopted in six eyes of six patients. All IOFBs were removed successfully in all patients without intraoperative or postoperative complications. The IOL-blocking technique is a useful approach for IOFB removal.
