[Influence of neuromuscular blockade on motor evoked potential of forearm muscles].
To investigate the influence of different degrees of neuromuscular blockade on motor evoked potential (MEP) of forearm muscles under the same condition of anesthesia depth and analgesia. ⋯ Neuromuscular blocking drugs significantly depress the MEP in a dose-dependent manner. Intra-operatively it may be preferable to maintain the value of TOF not less than 2 during the critical periods of MEP monitoring.

Randomized Controlled Trial[Effects of patient-controlled analgesia with small dose ketamine combined with morphine and the influence thereof on plasma beta-endorphin level in patients after radical operation for esophageal carcinoma].
To evaluate the effects of patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) with small dose ketamine combined with morphine on analgesia and influence thereof on the plasma beta-endorphin (EP) level in the patients after radical operation for esophageal carcinoma. ⋯ The combination of small dose of ketamine with morphine provides optimal analgesia with low side-effect rate and little effect on the plasma beta-EP level.

[Bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor gene promoter mutation-142G > A in a patient with familial pulmonary arterial hypertension].
To investigate the relation between bone morphogenetic protein type II receptor (BMPR2) gene promoter mutation and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). ⋯ BMPR2 promoter mutation -142G > A may be associated with FPAH.

Controlled Clinical Trial[Relationship of serum Chemerin to obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus].
To detect the serum Chemerin levels in patients with obesity and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and explore the relationship of serum Chemerin to body fat parameters, glucose and lipid metabolism, and insulin resistance index (IR). ⋯ Serum Chemerin levels are much higher in females and obese subjects are much higher than in men and subjects with normal weight. Serum Chemerin is correlated with insulin level, body fat disposition and lipid metabolism which suggesting that it may play a role in the pathophysiology of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

[Microsurgical anatomy and clinical application of infratentorial supracerebellar keyhole approach].
To explore the feasibility of applying the infratentorial supracerebellar keyhole approach for removing tumors of pineal region. ⋯ Infratentorial supracerebellar keyhole approach can be applied for removing the pineal region tumors without interfering the adjacent deep venous system, and can enter the third ventricle in a nearly non-traumatic way. If necessary the tentorium can be cut open to expose supra-tentorial structures. It can be regarded as a better choice for surgeries in this region.
