Objective To observe the influences of infusion with normal saline (NS), Ringer solution and hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride on blood coagulation/fibrinolysis in rabbits with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) induced by two-hit of oleic acid (OA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methods According to random number table, 40 healthy adult male rabbits were divided into sham operation, model, NS, Ringer and colloid groups (8 rabbits in each group). The ARDS model was replicated by sequential injection of OA (0.1 mL/kg) and LPS (500μg/kg) into the ear marginal vein of rabbit. Immediately after injection of LPS, the NS, Ringer and colloid groups were treated by intravenous infusion of NS, lactate Ringer solution and hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride, respectively at a speed of 7 mL·kg-1·h-1 for 210 minutes. There was no liquid infusion in model and sham operation groups. At 30 minutes and 210 minutes after LPS injection, the arterial blood was collected and the partial pressure of arterial blood oxygen (PaO2) was measured and the oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was calculated. At 5, 30, 120 and 210 minutes after LPS injection, venous blood was collected, and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), prothrombin time (PT), fibrinogen (Fib), antithrombase Ⅲ (AT-Ⅲ), serum procollagen peptide Ⅲ (PⅢP), tissue plasminogen activator (t-PA) were measured, respectively. After the rabbits were killed by bloodletting at the end of experiment, the lung tissues were obtained, collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in lung tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and pathologic score of lung tissues were calculated.Results Compared with sham operation group, at 30 minutes and 210 minutes in model group the levels of PaO2/FiO2 were significantly decreased, and the lung W/D ratios as well as pathologic scores of pulmonary tissues were increased. In model group, the APTT began from 30 minutes while the PT began from 120 minutes to gradually prolong, and the value of Fib was progressively decreased; with a tendency of mild decline, the levels of AT-Ⅲ at all time-points were lower in model group than those in sham operation group (allP < 0.05). The levels of t-PA and PⅢP at all time-points were significantly higher, and the expression levels of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in model group were obviously more strengthened compared to those in sham operation group. Among the three infusion groups, the improvement degrees of PaO2/FiO2, lung W/D ratio and pathologic score of pulmonary tissues were the highest in NS group, lowest in colloid group, and no significant changes in Ringer group. APTT in NS group except 120 minutes was longer, the APTTs at 30 minutes and 210 minutes were shorter in NS group than those in model group (s: 30 minutes: 52.26±18.65 vs. 76.22±16.64, 120 minutes: 90.60±10.66 vs. 83.01±15.88, 210 minutes: 70.44±17.80 vs. 77.04±13.32, allP < 0.05); the prolongation of amplitudes of APTT in Ringer and colloid groups were greater than that in model group, particularly in colloid group, the greatest; the PT in three infusion groups were gradually prolonged, and at 120 minutes and 210 minutes were all longer than that in model group (allP < 0.05). The levels of Fib in those treatment groups were all gradually decreased, the amplitude descent of Fib in NS group was the smallest and that in colloid group, the biggest; the levels of AT-Ⅲ in three infusion groups and model group had similar decline tendency, the descending amplitude being the most significant in colloid group. The levels of t-PA at all time-points in the three treatment groups were lower than those in model group (allP < 0.05). The levels of PⅢP in serum at all time-points were lower in Ringer and NS groups than those in model group (μg/L: Ringer group: 5 minutes: 250.60±36.53 vs. 285.77±65.55, 30 minutes: 248.73±44.41 vs. 302.16±37.73, 120 minutes: 249.14±43.16 vs. 296.09±38.64, 210 minutes: 246.62±44.72 vs. 295.45±42.75; NS group: 5 minutes: 261.89±50.74 vs. 285.77±65.55, 30 minutes: 247.71±50.40 vs. 302.16±37.73, 120 minutes: 246.58±42.27 vs. 296.09±38.64, 210 minutes: 222.73±18.51 vs. 295.45±42.75, allP < 0.05), but there were no statistically significant differences between the colloid group and model group. The expression levels of collagen Ⅰ and collagen Ⅲ in all liquid infusion groups were lower than those in model group (P < 0.05 orP < 0.01), whereas in colloid group were higher than those in NS and Ringer groups (allP < 0.05).Conclusions The infusion of NS, lactate Ringer solution and hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride have different influences on the blood coagulation function in ARDS rabbits, among which the effect of NS is the least, while of the hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride appears the greatest. The infusion of these three liquids can all decrease the pulmonary fibrous tissue in rabbits with ARDS, and in the mean time can alleviate the lung tissue pathological lesion for a certain degree, the effect of NS and Ringer solution being greater than that of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 sodium chloride.

Objective To investigate the association between intima-media thickness (IMT) and free fatty acids (FFA) in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome (MS). Methods IMT, FFA and body mass index (BMI) were measured in 69 hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome (MS group) ,57 hypertensive patients without metabolic syndrome ( Non-MS group) ,and 50 healthy controls ( NC group). Results In the MS group,The BMI, serum levels of triglyceride (TG), fasting blood glucose (FPG) and FFA were ( 26.0 ± 2.1 ) kg/m2, (24.0 ±0.81 ) mmol/L and (5.64 ± 0.82) mmol/L respectively, which were significantly higher than those in the Non-MS group ( (24.9 ± 2.3 ) kg/m2, ( 1.93 ± 0. 55 ) mmol/L and ( 5.10 ± 1.08 ) mmol/L respectively ) and the NC group ( (23.6 ± 1.6), ( 1.49 ± 0.36) mmol/L and (4.70 ± 0.90) mmol/L respectively) ( F = 20.06, 30.96 and 15.17,P ＜0.05 or 0.01 ). FFA in the MS group ((562.11 ± 55.12)μmol/L) were significantly higher than that in the Non-MS group (402.65 ± 49.53 ) μmol/L) and the NC group ( ( 356.23 ± 45.93 ) μmol/L) ( F = 277.28, P ＜0. 01 ). IMT in the MS group, Non-MS group and NC group were (1. 10 ± 0. 13 )mm, (0. 82 ± 0. 12 )mm and (0.70 ± 0.11 ) mm, respectively, with significantly difference ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). In addition, the incidence of thickening was 28.99% (20/69), 17.54% ( 10/57 ) and 2.00% ( 1/50 ), respectively, with significantly difference ( P ＜0.01 ). Conclusions Serum level of FFA is associated with IMT in hypertensive patients with metabolic syndrome.

Objective To explore the lesion distribution pattern of poststroke pathological laughing or crying (PSPLC) by using MRI,and to discuss its pathogenesis. Methods All 24 cases selected from stroke patients who were treated in the department of neurology from May 2012 to December 2015 and had complete follow?up information after their discharge through 6 months were screened for pathological laughing and crying( PLC) . MRI characteristics of cases were analyzed retrospectively to identify lesion distribution. 28 cases with acute isolated pontine infarction who did not demonstrate PLC were enrolled as a comparison group. Lesion pattern difference between 14 cases of the pontine infarction with PLC and 28 cases of acute i?solated pontine infarction without PLC was compared. Results In these 24 cases,the highest occurrence rate of PLC was 41.67% in the second month. 15 cases had forced crying (62.5%),3 cases had forced laughing (12.5%),6 cases had pathological laughing or crying (25%). MRI studies showed lesion location in the left side were 3 cases,in the right side were 1 case,in the bilateral brain were 20 cases,in the basal ganglia were 9 cases,in the thalamus were 8 cases,in the corona radiata were 6 cases,in the semioval center were 5 cases, in the cerebral cortex were 4 cases,in the cerebellum were 4 cases and in the brain stem were 14 cases. In the cases of PLC with brain stem lesion,only 1 case was isolated pontine infarction,the other patients all combined with lesions of other parts. Compared with the pontine infarction with PLC,the isolated pontine in?farction without PLC was more likely to suffer with unilateral brain lesions(71%vs 50%),but there was no significant difference (χ2=0.844, P=0.358) . Conclusion PSFLC is not a rare complication after stroke, which is associated with multiple site of brain involvement especially pontine infarction.

With the emergence of new concepts, methods and techniques in modern medicine, the basic research and clinical treatment for gynecological oncology has rapidly developed in the past couple of years. Evidence-based medicine, individualized therapy and microinvasive therapy give us more opportunities to treat the patient. Nowadays, it is possible for the clinic to implement new approaches to improve the outcome and the quality of life for the patients with minimal side effects at the same time. There has been a lot of reports from in vitro studies suggesting that gonadotrophin may play an important role in tumorigenesis, estrogen may promote tumor cell proliferation through PAX2 gene. Survivin, a protein serving as an apoptosis inhibitor, may be crucial for the regulation of tumor cell proliferation and apoptosis.
