不同体位干预对第三脑室肿瘤手术病人的影响

第三脑室的肿瘤手术一般需要采用枕部小脑幕入路，由于手术时间长．操作空间狭小，对手术体位的摆放要求甚高。既要充分暴露视野便于医生的手术操作．又要保护病人的神经、呼吸、循环等系统的重要生理功能，还要有利于麻醉师观察病人，避免病人神经、血管及各部位肌肉的损伤。

Influences of different vasopressors on stroke volume variation and pulse pressure variation

Pulse pressure variation (PPV) and stroke volume variation (SVV) during mechanical ventilation have been shown to be effective parameters to predict preload responsiveness. Although induced hypertension decreases PPV and SVV, the influences of different vasopressors on PPV and SVV are unknown. 94 patients undergoing elective otologic surgery were randomly divided into three groups: Group P (patients were given phenylephrine), Group D (patients were given dopamine), Group E (patients were given ephedrine). When surgery was ongoing and the circulation state was stable, patients were given the vasopressor to increase the systolic arterial pressure (SAP) to the pre-calculated levels: low level, 10 % < ΔSAP ≤ 20 %; medium level, 20 % < ΔSAP ≤ 30 %; high level, 30 % < ΔSAP ≤ 40 %. When invasive arterial pressure reached the target value, PPV, SVV and other parameters were recorded. Dopamine decreased the PPV and SVV more significantly than ephedrine, but less significantly than phenylephrine. The influences of phenylephrine, dopamine and ephedrine on SVV and PPV are different due to their different pharmacological mechanisms.

Short-term Safety and Efficiency of Cryoablation for Renal Sympathetic Denervation in a Swine Model

Background:

Renal sympathetic nerves are involved in the reflective activation of the sympathetic nervous system in circulatory control. Catheter-based renal denervation (RDN) ameliorated treatment-resistant hypertension safely, but 10%–20% of treated patients are nonresponders to radiofrequency denervation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the safety and efficiency of cryoablation for sympathetic denervation in a swine model and to explore a new way of RDN.

Methods:

Seven swines randomly assigned to two groups: Renal cryoablation (CR) group and control group. The control group underwent renal angiogram only. The CR group underwent renal angiogram plus bilateral renal cryoablation. Renal angiograms via femoral were performed before denervation, after denervation and prior to the sacrifice to access the diameter of renal arterial and the pressure of aorta abdominalis. Euthanasia of the swine was performed on 28-day to access norepinephrine (NE) changes of the renal cortex and the changes of renal nerves.

Results:

Cryoablation did not induce severe complications at any time point. There was no significant change in diameter of renal artery. CR reduced systolic blood pressure (BP) from 145.50 ± 9.95 mmHg at baseline to 119.00 ± 14.09 mmHg. There was a slight but insignificant decrease in diastolic BP. The main nerve changes at 28-day consisted of necrosis with perineurial fibrosis at the site of CR exposure in conjunction with the nerve vacuolation. Compared with the control group, renal tissue NE of CR group decreased by 89.85%.

Conclusions:

Percutaneous catheter-based cryoablation of the renal artery is safe. CR could effectively reduce NE storing in the renal cortex, and the efficiency could be maintained 28-day at least.     

Optimized Fluoroscopy Setting and Appropriate Project Position Can Reduce X-ray Radiation Doses Rates during Electrophysiology Procedures

Background:

Nonfluoroscopic three-dimensional electroanatomical system is widely used nowadays, but X-ray remains indispensable for complex electrophysiology procedures. This study aimed to evaluate the value of optimized parameter setting and different projection position to reduce X-ray radiation dose rates.

Methods:

From June 2013 to October 2013, 105 consecutive patients who underwent complex ablation were enrolled in the study. After the ablation, the radiation dose rates were measured by two different settings (default setting and optimized setting) with three projection positions (posteroanterior [PA] projection; left anterior oblique [LAO] 30° projection; and LAO 45° projection). The parameter of preset voltage, pulse width, critical voltage, peak voltage, noise reduction, edge enhancement, pulse rate, and dose per frame was modified in the optimized setting.

Results:

The optimized setting reduced radiation dose rates by 87.5% (1.7 Gy/min vs. 13.6 Gy/min, P < 0.001) in PA, 87.3% (2.5 Gy/min vs. 19.7 Gy/min, P < 0.001) in LAO 30°, 85.9% (3.1 Gy/min vs. 22.1 Gy/min, P < 0.001) in LAO 45°. Increase the angle of projection position will increase the radiation dose rate.

Conclusions:

We can reduce X-ray radiation dose rates by adjusting the parameter setting of X-ray system. Avoiding oblique projection of large angle is another way to reduce X-ray radiation dose rates.

Proteomic analysis of exosomes derived from human lymphoma cells

Background

Exosomes secreted by tumor cells contain specific antigens that may have immunotherapeutic purposes. The aim of this study was to characterize the proteomic content of lymphoma cell-derived exosomes (LCEXs).

Methods

In this study, exosomes derived from Raji cells (EXO_Raji) were purified and proteins of EXO_Raji were separated by one-dimensional sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Protein bands were identified by mass spectrometry. The protein components of EXO_Raji were analyzed using shotgun technology, and the function proteins of EXO_Raji were defined and described using the Gene Ontology (GO) database and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) analysis.

Results

A total of 197 proteins were identified in EXO_Raji; 139 proteins were also identified in Raji cells, showing an overlap of 70.56% of the total proteins in EXO_Raji. Interestingly, the remaining 58 proteins were unique to EXO_Raji. The GO database and KEGG were used to define and describe the function of proteins. The data showed that some important proteins involved in antigen procession and presentation as well as cell migration and adhesion were also identified in EXO_Raji, such as MHC-I and II, HSC70, HSP90, and ICMA-1.

Conclusions

LCEXs express a discrete set of proteins involved in antigen presentation and cell migration and adhesion, suggesting that LCEXs play an important role in the regulation of immunity and interaction between lymphoma cells and their microenvironment. LCEXs harbor most of the proteins of lymphoma cells and could be one of the sources of lymphoma-associated antigens for immunotherapeutic purposes.     

High altitude increases the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α and inducible nitric oxide synthase with intest-inal mucosal barrier failure in rats

Background: The failure of intestinal mucosal barrier may induce multiple organ dysfunction and systemic inflammatory response syndrome, but little work has been done on whether hypobaric hypoxia related to the failure of intestinal mucosal barrier. Aims: To study the expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and morphological changes of intestinal mucosa in albino rats at different altitude. Methods: 30 male Wistar rats raised in plain for one month were randomly divided into 3 groups: Plain 500 m group (n=10), High-altitude (HA) 3842 m group (n=10) and HA4767 m group (n=10). Each group was delivered to different altitude area at the same shipping time and executed after 3 days’ exposure to different altitude. Intestinal segments with the same location of all rats were removed for morphological analyses. Morphologic parameters (villous height, crypt depth, mucosal wall thickness and villous surface area) were measured by optical and scanning electron microscope. The expression of iNOS and HIF-1α were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results: Morphological indexes in higher altitude groups were exacerbated obviously compared with those of lower altitude groups. While the expression of iNOS and HIF-1α in higher altitude groups were significantly increased than those of lower altitude groups. Linear correlation analysis showed that the expression of iNOS was positively correlated with that of HIF-1α. Conclusions: Hypobaric hypoxia increases the expression of HIF-1α and iNOS in intestinal mucosa, however exacerbates the mucous morphologic parameters with altitude increasing. HIF-1α may regulate the expression of iNOS and be involved in the damage of intestinal mucosa.
