BACKGROUND: Serious lesion to liver function may cause the pulmonary artery hypertension and fluctuation of haemodynamics directly induces changes of pulmonary artery pressure during neo-hepatic stage in liver transplantation. OBJECTIVE: To observe the change of pulmonary artery pressure during liver transplantation and to explore treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTNG: Controlled observation was carried out among the liver transplant recipients who were enrolled from the 181 Hospital of Chinese PLA from June 2004 to June 2006.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 13 patients, all males, were reviewed. Their ages ranged from 19 to 53 years. They were selective for the liver transplantation. METHODS: Undergoing general anesthesia, mean arterial blood pressure, central venous pressure, pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure were continuously monitored by Swan-Ganz catheter method and reversible Fick's law continuous monitoring. Available respiration administration, low dose of glyceryltrinitrate (0.1-5.0 u g/kg/min) and Alprostadil (1.0-2.0 u g) were administered to diminish elevated pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure during the period after unclamping portal vein in liver transplantation. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Changes of mean arterial blood pressure and pulmonary arterial pressure. RESULTS: The mean arterial blood pressure deceased at the time of unclamping portal vein in all 13 patients, pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure both increased significantly at 5 and 15 minutes within neo-hepatic stage, which were more obvious than those during anhepatic stage in 13 patients(P＜0.05).The pulmonary arterial pressure and pulmonary arterial wedge pressure revived to the level before unclamping inferior vein by treatment with glyceryltrinitrate and Alprostadil within 30 minutes. CONCLUSION: Reasonable application of glyceryltrinitrate and Alprostadil can obviously release pulmonary arterial pressure during neo-hepatic stage in liver transplantation.

Objective:To explore the diagnostic value of treadmill exercise test (TET)and its Duke score in menopa-usal female patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods:A total of 102 menopausal female patients re-ceived TET and coronary angiography (CAG)examination.With CAG as control,accuracy indexes etc.of TET combined Duke score diagnosing coronary artery disease in these patients were compared and analyzed.Results:Compared with single application of TET or Duke score,there were significant rise in specificity (27.12% vs. 30.50% vs.44.44%),positive predictive value (47.56% vs.46.75% vs.54.55%),negative predictive value (80%vs.72% vs.90.91%)and accuracy (53.92% vs.52.94% vs.64.94%)diagnosing CHD by TET combined Duke score both positive and negative,P <0.05 all;but there was no significant difference in sensitivity,P >0.05 both. There was no significant difference in CHD diagnosis between single use of TET and Duke score,P >0.05 all.Con-clusion:False positive rate of treadmill exercise test is higher in menopausal women.Treadmill exercise test com-bined Duke score is helpful to improve specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of the test.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoscopic treatment of delayed hemorrhage after endoscopic sphincterotomy.Methods Retrospectively analyzed the data of 2 638 patients who underwent endoscopic sphincterotomy.There were 26 patients who delayed hemorrhage after endoscopic sphincterotomy.All the 26 patients underwent duodenoscopy,and endoscopic treatment was underwent for the patients who had active bleeding.Results There were 21 patients had active bleeding,and the other 5 cases had no bleeding.There were 12 patients with capillary hemorrhage and 9 cases with petechial hemorrhage.In the 12 patients with capillary hemorrhage,9 patients had been sprayed tissue glue,and 3 patients had been local injected with 1 10 000 noradrenalin.In the 9 patients with petechial hemorrhage,5 patients were treated with titanium clip,and 4 patients were treated with argon ion.All the 21 patients were crued,and no patient was operated and no patient died.Conclusion There are few patients who delayed hemorrhage after endoscopic sphincterotomy.Tissue glue sprayed,local injection,argon ion and titanium clip can cure the bleeding.

In order to explore the clinical feature, diagnosis and differential diagnosis of adrenal incidentalomas, we reviewed 98 cases of adrenal incidentalomas for which adrenalectomy was performed in our hospital from 1993 to 2002. It was found that the average age of the patients was 48 years old, 16 cases (16 3%) had no specific symptoms, and others were incidentally diagnosed. Of the 98 cases, 18 (18 4%) were malignant lesions, including 8 metastatic cancers, 8 adrenal carcinomas and 4 lymphangioma, and 80 were benign lesions. Twenty one cases were functioning adrenal adenoma. Ultrasound, CT scan, MRI or MIBG were effective methods to detect adrenal incidentalomas.

In order to investigate the distribution and diagnosis of adrenal tumors, 282 cases of patients who had undergone adrenalectomy in our hospital from March 1993 to December 2001 were reviewed. There were 147 (52 1%) women and 135 (47 9%) men, with a mean age of 43 6?13 0 (3～75) years. Of the 282 patients, 83 patients (29 4%) were operated on because of hyperaldosteronism, 59 (20 9%) pheochromocytoma, 27 (9 5%) hypercortisolism, 105 (37 2%) incidentaloma, 36 (12 8%) malignant tumors and 13 (4 6%) for other reasons. The average diameter of adrenal tumors was 4 8?3 4 (0 3～22 5)cm. The size of tumor mass was smallestin hyperaldosteronism, while the largest was malignant tumor. The conformation rate of the preoperative diagnosis and pathological findings was 65 2%.

Objective To explore the relationships between the expression of PECAM-1 and the degree of ALI in Paraquat induced lung injury model of rabbits. Method Thirty six adult New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: 8 mg/kg (Group A), 16 mg/kg (Group B) and 32 mg/kg ( Group C) according to the dose of Paraquat which were infusion into stomach. After poisoned, the animals were monitored for seven days, and then sacrificed. The upper lobe of lung were removed for HE,Masson staining and immunohistochemisty. The ALl score, fibrosis of lung and expression of PECAM-1 were semiquantitative analyzed. Results Each group has 12 animals suffered from poisoning. The survival time of animals in Group C was (6. 47 ± 0. 99 ) days, shorter than (6. 09 + 1.04) days ( P = 0. 031 ) in Group B and (4. 77 + 2. 04) days ( P = 0. 0 07) in Group A. The ALI score were ( 8. 33 ± 1.03) points in Group A, superior to (9. 83 ± 1.17) points ( P = 0. 047 ) in Group B and ( 11.50 + 1.38) points ( P ＜ 0. 01 ) in group C, Group B vs Group C, P=-0.03o The fibrosis degree of lung was (31.09 +2.05)% in Group A,not severe as (34. 37 ±1.62)% (P=0. 002) in Group B and (36. 54 ±0. 44)% (P ＜0. 01 ) in Group C, Group B vs Group C, P = 0. 026. The Pearson correlation analysis showed the expression of PECAM-1 was negative correlated to ALI score (Coe = -0. 732, P =0. 001 ) and fibrosis degree of lung (Coe = -0. 779, P ＜ 0. 001 ) . Conclusions The expressions of PECAM-1 were significantly decreased in New Zealand after Paraquat poisoned, which were dose dependent, correlated to ALI scored and fibrosis degree of lung, so it may play an important role in the development of lung injured induced by Paraquat.

Objective To establish a method of murine local lymph node assay (LLNA) combined with measurement of ear swelling for the identification of photosensitive agents. Methods The female BALB/c mice received test chemicals or vehicle alone on the back skin of both ears and then were exposed to UVA irradiation on three consecutive days. The post-auricular lymph nodes draining the ear tissue were excised 24 h following the last irradiation. Lymph node cell counts and lymphocyte proliferative rates were determined, which indicated lymph node hyperplasia. While ear swelling was also measured, to reveal skin irritating reactions. Some cytokines (IFN-?, IL-2 and IL-4) released by the draining lymph node were also analyzed by ELISA. Results Tetrachlorosalicylanilide, a strong photoallergen, caused lymph node hyperplasia without ear swelling. The mild photoallergen (6-methylcoumarin) showed neither lymph node proliferation nor ear swelling reactions. But 8-methoxypsoralen, a phototoxic substance, induced both lymph node hyperplasia and ear swelling. The level of IL-4 was significantly increased when the mice were previously sensitized with tetrachlorosalicylanilide (P

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for rational use of antibiotics in the clinic. METHODS:In retrospective study, the distribution,composition and drug resistance of pathogens in our hospital during Jan.-Dec. in 2015 were analyzed statistically. RESULTS:In 2015,a total of 9401 specimens were collected in microbiology laboratory of our hospital;pathogens were detect-ed in 1743 specimens with positive rate of 18.54%;1591 strains of pathogens were isolated,mainly from sputum (59.77%), urine (14.775) and blood sample (8.93%). Totally 347 strains of Gram-positive bacteria(21.81%),991 strains of Gram-negative bacteria (62.29%),253 strains of fungus (15.90%)were detected. Top 4 pathogens in the list of amount were Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus. S. aureus,Streptococcus pneumoniae and Staphylo-coccus haemolyticus were sensitive to vancomycin,linezolid and sodium fusidate,with resistance rate of 0;resistance rates of them to erythromycin were more than 65%. The resistance rate of S. aureus to penicillin was more than 95%,and S. haemolyticus showed high resistance rate to common antibiotics. Drug resistances of E. coli,K. pneumoniae and P. aeruginosa to carbapenems were all lower than 15%,and they were sensitive to polymyxin with resistance rate of 0. Resistance rate of E. coli to quinolones was more than 50%. CONCLUSIONS:The main pathogens are Gram-negative bacteria in our hospital,drug resistance of them are not satisfactory. Drugs most sensitive to main pathogens include vancomycin,linezolid,carbapenems,etc. The inspection of patho-gen drug resistance characteristics should be strengthened,and antibiotics should be selected rationally and normatively according to the results of drug sensitivity test.
