In the present paper, the contribution of the largest principal component and the number of principal component needed for accumulative contribution 95% are selected as indices of electroencephalogram (EEG) in mental fatigue state in order to investigate the relationship between these parameters and mental fatigue. The experimental results showed that the contribution of the largest principal component of EEG signals increased in the prefrontal, frontal and central areas, while the number of principal component needed for accumulative contribution decreased by 95% with the increasing mental fatigue level. The parameters of singular system of EEG signals can be regarded as useful features for the estimation of mental fatigue and have larger application value in the study of mental fatigue.

Objective To observe the clnical effects of influence of tanshinone type ⅡA sulfonate on preventing hepatic artery thrombosis after transplantation.Methods A total of 60 patients after liver transplantation were randomly individed into the treatment group and control group, each 30 patients. The treatment group received tanshinone ⅡA sodium sulfonate treatment (60 mg qd, ivgtt continuous 10d) , while the control group used conventional heparinization. The blood coagulation index and the thrombelastograph variables were detected after 7 days and the hepatic artery resistance index (RI) was detected by using Doppler ultrasonography. The postoperative complications and mortality rates were analyzed.Results Although it had little improvement on the coagulation function after liver transplantation, tanshinone ⅡA sodium sulfonate had significant improvement on the time of thrombelastograph parameters reaction (6.35 ± 1.59 minvs. 5.21 ± 1.37 min,t=2.453) and maximum amplitude (58.07 ± 5.42 mmvs. 61.67 ± 5.63 mm,t=-2.532). It showed that RI have significantly statistical difference between the two groups after treatment (0.73 ± 0.11vs. 0.62 ± 0.10;t=-2.948,P<0.01). During the trial, the control group had 2 cases of postoperative complications, HAT and bleeding.Conclusions The Tanshinone ⅡA sodium after liver transplantation can improve the clotting mechanism, preventing HAT.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of the massive transfusion protocols (MTP) in abdominal surgical patients with traumatic shock.Methods An analysis was made on the clinical data of patients before and after the use of MTP,including the general condition,amount of blood transfusion,transfusion components and ratio,blood and coagulation function test,and blood transfusion related complications and mortality.Results Before implement of MTP,the average RBC transfusion in the first 24 hours was 19.5U,FFBwas 12.6U,and the ratio ofRBC ∶ FFB was 1.55 ∶ 1.After implement of MTP,the average RBC transfusion in the first 24 hours was 17.3 U,and the ratio of RBC:FFB was 1 ∶ 1.There were no significant statistical differences between the two groups about PT,APTT,Hb and PLT on admission.After 24 hours of admission,there was no significant difference in Hb between the two groups,there were significant differences of PT,APTT and PLT.Blood transfusion related complications were 11 (14.9％) in control group and 7 (11.9％) in MTP,group,and the mortality was 9.46％ and 6.78％ respectively.Conclusions MTP improves blood coagulation function,reduces blood transfusion and enhances survival rate of abdominal surgical patients with traumatic shock.

After human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were incubated with various concentrations of exenatide for 24,48,and 72 h under the conditions of5.5 and 33 mmol/L glucose,the cell viability was detected by MTF assay.The apoptosis rate of endothelial cells was measured by flow cytometry.Protein kinase B (Akt) phosphorylation,Bcl-2,and Bax protein expression were detected by Western blotting.The results showed that the cell viability was decreased after HUVECs were incubated with high glucose for48 and 72 h (P＜0.01).Treatment with 1,10,and 100 nmol/L exenatide for48 h significantly increased the cell viability in the presence of high glucose,in a dose-dependent manner (P＜0.01).High glucose inhibited Akt phosphorylation and Bcl-2 protein expression,stimulated Bax protein expression,with decreased Bcl-2/Bax ratio and increased apoptosis ratio of cells.After treatment with exenatide,the cell apoptosis reduced,Akt phosphorylation and Bcl-2 protein expression increased,and Bax protein expression decreased,with increased Bcl-2/Bax ratio (P ＜ 0.01).These effects of exenatide on endothelial cell were abrogated by an inhibitor of phosphotylinosital 3 kinase (PI3K) LY294002 (P ＜ 0.01),suggesting that the exenatide may regulate Bcl-2/Bax protein expression and inhibit endothelial cell apoptosis induced by high glucose through PI3k/Akt signal pathway,and thus may protect endothelial cells.

Objective To explore the effect and significance of clinical pathway guided teaching in the residency standard training program of respiratory medicine. Methods Total 47 resident physicians were selected and divided into clinical pathway group and control group from March 2014 to November 2014. The pathway group (n=24) was introduced into the teaching guided by clinical pathway management. The control group (n=23) was taught by traditional teaching method. All physicians were tested for the basic theory and the ability of case analysis after 4 weeks training. The ability of chemotherapy strategy ordered by residents independently and correctly was assessed each week during training. A satisfaction questionnaire survey was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and satisfaction of teaching guided by clinical pathway. GraphPad Prism 5.0 was used and T test was done for comparison of data between groups. Results The medical records about basic theory and case analysis in the pathway group was higher than those in the control group with significant statistical difference (P<0.05). The records of resident physicians who could issue orders for chemotherapy independently and correctly were (70.75±2.79), (81.43±1.91), (85.23±1.3), (90.62±2.34) in the pathway group and (69.65±2.06), (77.11±2.21), (80.3±1.96), (87.78±2.21) in the control group at each week time point. There was statistical increase of the records in the pathway group than in the control group since the second week time point (P<0.05) The overall satisfaction of the pathway group was 95.84%(23/24), and the teaching satisfaction was higher than that of the control group(91.29%, 21/23). Pathway group doctors believe that the relevant teaching effectively improve the level of their knowledge , experience and ability. Conclusions The teaching method guided by clinical pathway is help-ful to standardize the teaching behavior, develop the standardized medical behavior of resident physicians, improve their clinical working ability efficiently, promote the relationship between teaching and studying, which is worth application in the residency standard training program of respiratory medicine.

Objective To validate the value of Simplified Renal Index Score(SRI) in predicting acute renal injury requiring renal replacement therapy(RRT-AKI) after cardiac valve surgery in Chinese adult patients.Methods An analysis was conducted for all the adult patients who underwent cardiac valve surgery from January 2010 to December 2014 in Changhai Hospital,Shanghai.A total of 3 183 adult patients were included.Based on SRI Score,the patients were divided into 3 risk stages:0 to 1 point,2 to 3 point,and 4 to 8 point.The incidence of RRT-AKI was compared between different stages.And the prediction value of the SRI model was assessed by area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AU-ROC) and the model calibration was assessed with the Hosmer-Lemeshow (H-L) test.Results After surgery 52 (1.6％) patients developed acute kidney impairment and subsequently underwent renal replacement therapy.Patients with low values of simplified renal index (0-1),medium(2-3) and high values (4 and more) were found to have increasingly higher risk for renal replacement therapy of 0.8％ (95％ CI:0.005-0.012) 、3.8％ (95％ CI:0.026-0.052) 、20％ (95％ CI:0.010-0.720),respectively.TheAU-ROCwas0.68(95％ CI:0.610-0.760,P＜0.01).The H-L test was x2 =2.45,P=0.29.Conclusion SRI model gives a certain clinical significance,suggesting that high-values patients may occur RRT-AKI with a significantly higher risk than low-values patients.However,SRI model cannot give an accurate prediction value for RRT-AKI in Chinese adult patients after cardiac valve surgery.Direct clinical use of the model should be considered cautiously.
