Isoflurane Preconditioning Improves Long-term Neurologic Outcome after Hypoxic-Ischemic Brain Injury in Neonatal Rats

Background: Preconditioning the brain with relatively safe drugs seems to be a viable option to reduce ischemic brain injury. The authors and others have shown that the volatile anesthetic isoflurane can precondition the brain against ischemia. Here, the authors determine whether isoflurane preconditioning improves long-term neurologic outcome after brain ischemia.

Methods: Six-day-old rats were exposed to 1.5% isoflurane for 30 min at 24 h before the brain hypoxia-ischemia that was induced by left common carotid arterial ligation and then exposure to 8% oxygen for 2 h. The neuropathology, motor coordination, and learning and memory functions were assayed 1 month after the brain ischemia. Western analysis was performed to quantify the expression of the heat shock protein 70, Bcl-2, and survivin 24 h after isoflurane exposure.

Results: The mortality was 45% after brain hypoxia-ischemia. Isoflurane preconditioning did not affect this mortality. However, isoflurane preconditioning attenuated ischemia-induced loss of neurons and brain tissues, such as cerebral cortex and hippocampus in the survivors. Isoflurane also improved the motor coordination of rats at 1 month after ischemia. The learning and memory functions as measured by performance of Y-maze and social recognition tasks in the survivors were not affected by the brain hypoxia-ischemia or isoflurane preconditioning. The expression of Bcl-2, a well-known antiapoptotic protein, in the hippocampus is increased after isoflurane exposure. This increase was reduced by the inhibitors of inducible nitric oxide synthase. Inducible nitric oxide synthase inhibition also abolished isoflurane preconditioning-induced neuroprotection.     

Comparison of 99mTc-DTPA renal dynamic imaging with modified MDRD equation for glomerular filtration rate estimation in Chinese patients in different stages of chronic kidney disease.

BACKGROUND: The renal dynamic imaging method (modified Gate's method) with (99m)Tc-diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid ((99m)Tc-DTPA) is simple and less time consuming for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation than other methods. However, its diagnostic performance as a surrogate marker of GFR is questioned increasingly. Recently, the modified Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) study equation based on data from Chinese patients of chronic kidney disease (CKD) showed significant performance improvement. In the present study, the renal dynamic imaging methods and the modified abbreviated MDRD equation were compared with the plasma clearance method. METHODS: Four hundred and eighty two patients with CKD were selected. GFR were estimated simultaneously using three methods: (i) modified Gate's method (gGFR); (ii) the modified abbreviated MDRD equation (c-aGFR) and (iii) dual plasma sampling method (rGFR). Using rGFR as the reference method, gGFR and c-aGFR were compared with rGFR in each stage of CKD. RESULTS: Both gGFR and c-aGFR were correlated well with rGFR (r(gGFR) = 0.81 and r(c-aGFR) = 0.90, P < 0.001). In the overall performance, c-aGFR had less bias (849.5 vs 933.1 arbitrary units), higher precision (57 vs 78.4 ml/min/1.73 m(2)) and higher accuracy than gGFR. For gGFR, the 15, 30 and 50% accuracies were 32.4, 56.0 and 79.1%, respectively; for c-aGFR, the corresponding accuracy rose to 43.2%, 75.5% and 90.9%, respectively. In each stage of CKD, the modified abbreviated MDRD equation also outperformed the modified Gate's method in the GFR estimation. CONCLUSION: Our results indicated that the performance of the renal dynamic imaging in total GFR estimation was not better than the modified abbreviated MDRD equation in our patient group, and should not be used as a surrogate marker of GFR, especially in clinical trials. We presume that the dynamic renal imaging methods for estimation of GFR can be improved by using proper reference GFR, more adequate background subtraction and soft-tissue attenuation correction, in a relatively larger sample size.

肝外胆管癌术后辅助放化疗治疗进展

肝外胆管癌（ECC）是一种恶性程度较高的肿瘤,即使在病变早期进行根治性切除手术,患者术后仍有较高的复发率,总体生存率低。近几年来,ECC术后辅助治疗的研究逐渐开展,以吉西他滨、氟尿嘧啶等为基础的辅助化疗或联合放、化疗可使ECC患者术后获益,延长患者的总生存期。然而现有的辅助治疗方案各异,缺少ECC术后辅助治疗的标准方案。本文结合最新发表的研究结果,讨论ECC术后辅助治疗的现状和主要措施。

Microsurgical treatment for 55 patients with hemifacial spasm due to cerebellopontine angle tumors

Tumor-related hemifacial spasm (HFS) has been found to be rare. During the period from October 1984 to October 2008, we treated 6,910 HFS patients using a microsurgical procedure. Of these HFS patients, 55 cases were associated with cerebellopontine angle tumors. A small craniectomy was performed in order to excise the tumor. All tumors were found to compress the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve to different extents, but concomitant vascular compression of the facial nerve was observed in a majority of cases, and microvascular decompression of the facial nerve at REZ was conducted in 43 of 55 patients (78.2%) by displacing the co-compressing vasculature away from the REZ and retaining it using a Teflon pad. Intraoperative findings and postoperative pathological examinations suggested that the tumors were epidermoid cysts, meningiomas, and Schwannomas. Follow-up in 48 of 55 patients for 4–230 months after surgery showed that the clinical symptoms of HFS disappeared in 43 cases, improved in two cases, and recurred in three cases. Ten patients had sequelae associated with the operation. We concluded from this study that the majority of cases of tumor-related HFS are caused by combined tumor and vascular co-compression at the REZ, and tumor removal and microvascular decompression are required in order to relieve the symptoms.     

CD146 as a new marker for an increased chondroprogenitor cell sub‐population in the later stages of osteoarthritis

Cartilage‐derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been isolated with different methods. In this study lateral and medial femoral condyles were respectively collected from patients with late‐stage osteoarthritis during the total knee arthroplasty. After digestion of the cartilage tissues with type II collagenase and analysis by fluorescence‐activated cell sorting (FACS) with CD146, a chondroprogenitor cell sub‐population were isolated and purified. The expression of other MSC‐associated markers in the CD146⁺ chondroprogenitors was analyzed by flow cytometry. Multi‐lineage differentiation capacity of CD146⁺ chondroprogenitors was compared with that of unsorted chondrocytes and adipose‐derived MSCs (ADMSCs). Higher percentage of CD146⁺ chondroprogenitors isolated from the medial femoral condyles was observed than that from the lateral. CD146⁺ chondroprogenitors expressed high levels of MSC‐specific surface antigens, and showed higher chondrogenesis capacity than ADMSCs and unsorted chondrocytes in a 3D cell pellet culture model. Thus CD146 might be a new cell surface marker for cartilage progenitor cell population in the late‐stage osteoarthritis. © 2014 Orthopaedic Research Society. Published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Imaging of Dermatofibrosarcoma Protuberans of Breast

Abstract: Dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP) is a rare superficial soft tissue malignancy. We report a 45‐year‐old woman diagnosed with DFSP involving the breast. Ultrasound of DFSP revealed a heteroechogenetic breast mass, which showed normal adjacent dermis. Mammography disclosed a high‐density mass without microcalcification. MRI showed an enhancing lobulated lesion with small area of cystic change and hemorrhage. The patient underwent excision biopsy and pathology revealed DFSP of the breast. DFSP involving the breast is rare and preoperative diagnosis by imaging could be a challenge for clinicians. A solitary mixed echogenicity and ill‐defined soft tissue with no microcalcification located in the subdermal region could indicate the presence of DFSP.
