ObjectiveTo establish a mathematical formula for choosing the manner of replacement fluid infusion in continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), so as to provide the basis for improving the treatment effect. Methods A mathematical formula for choosing the manner of replacement fluid infusion with continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) was taken as an example, and it was compared with the result of standard replacement fluid in order to analyze the effect of different manners of infusion.① Comparison parameters: the plasma volume (Vreturn) and some electrolyte concentration (Creturn) in back way of CRRT (if other thing was solute, filter coefficient should be 1.0).② Research objects: the actual replacement fluid (for example, the most complex should be sorted into A and B type) mode (pre or post) was compared with the standard replacement fluid (the A and B in one).③ Based on the formula of standard replacement, four equations in different conditions were derived: pre-dilution and post-dilution mode; same direction and same ratio; same direction and different ratio; different direction and same ratio; different direction and different ratio.Results The calculated results of Vreturn (except hematocrit) and Creturn were same to the standard only following the rule of same direction and ratio for A and B no matter pre-dilution mode or post-dilution mode, and it was different from the standard in others. In pre-dilution mode and post-dilution mode, it showed:① A and B in same direction and different ratio: Vreturn and Creturn were different from the standard for the alterative ratio of B.② A and B in different direction and same ratio: Vreturn was same to the standard, but Creturn was different from the standard for the completely different and more complex computational formula.③ A and B in different direction and different ratio: both Vreturn and Creturn were different from the standard. The different Vreturn was due to the different ratio of B. The different Creturn was caused by different ratio of B and the completely different computational formula.Conclusions① For parts of replacement fluid which must be separated ( for example, bicarbonate formula ), the result is same to the standard, and is predicted and mastered only following the rule of same direction and ratio. Otherwise, we need to calculate the two parameters over and over again. The result will run out of our judgment. The wrongness of losing water and electrolyte disorders maybe come out.② Accordingly,the formula could be used to analyze the same case like the separated replacement infusion, for example, a large number of citrates as regional anticoagulation were infused only in the front of filter, while the replacement fluid can be done in varied forms.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV)infection screening by saliva polymerase chain reaction.Methods From November 1,2010 to February 29,2012,6733 newborns born in Changzhou Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital were enrolled.Saliva samples (0.2 ml) were collected within 3 days after birth,CMV-DNA was detected by real time-polymerase chain reaction and hearing screening was done with EroScan transient-evoked otoacoustic emissions at the same time.The positive rate of congenital CMV infection screening was calculated and clinical manifestations were analyzed.Chi square test was applied to statistical analysis.Results Totally 6733 newborns were screened and 107 of them were found to be positive with CMV DNA,the positive rate was 1.59％ (107/6733),among which 88 were asymptomatic (82.2％) and 19 were symptomatic (17.8 ％).The major clinical manifestations of the neonates with positive CMVDNA were pathological jaundice (13 cases),hepatomegaly (5 cases),granulocytopenia,thrombocytopenic purpura,anemia and small for gestational age (two cases each).Fourteen newborns had only one major clinical manifestation,three newborns had two major clinical manifestations and two newborns had three major clinical manifestations.There was no statistical difference between newborns with positive and negative CMV DNA on hearing screening [hearing loss in one ear:8.4％ (9/107) vs 5.8％ (382/6626); hearing loss in two ears:3.7 ％ (4/107) vs 2.4 ％ (159/6626),x2 =2.776,P=0.241].Conclusion It is feasible to screen congenital CMV infection with saliva sample.

Objective To prove with mathematical formula that the patient's blood electrolyte concentration shows a tendency to approach that of replacement-fluid after continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT).Methods Electrolyte concentration of plasma,replacement-fluid and returning fluid were compared,and they were labeled as Cblood,Cnom,and Creturn respectively.The Creturn was calculated,and the relationship among them was demonstrated with comparison by mathematical formula.At last,according to their relationship,plasma change towards to the replacement fluid was analyzed.Results It was showed that Cblood＜Creturn＜Cnom or Cblood＞Creturn＞ Cnom,and according the relationship,it was derive that the trend of change in Cblood after circulation for m unit time was Cblood1 ＞Cblood2 ＞Cblood3 ＞ … ＞Cbloodm ＞Cblood or Cblood1 ＜ Cblood2 ＜Cblood3 ＜ … ＜Cbloodm ＜Cnom.The plasma electrolyte concentration would close to that of replacement fluid infinitely with the continue of CRRT.Conclusions With mathematical model,it is proved that the replacement fluid electrolyte concentration is the final target of the plasma.We must make up the replacement fluid correctly.And this results provide the basis for CRRT treatment of electrolyte disorder.

ObjectiveTo investigate the efficacy of bundle treatment on patients with moderate or severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A multicenter prospective observational study comparing the result of historical treatment strategy and bundle treatment was conducted. According to the new Berlin standard of definition, 73 patients with moderate or severe ARDS due to pulmonary factors, age from 18 to 65 years, admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Taian Central Hospital and Handan Central Hospital were enrolled. Thirty-three patients admitted during September 2012 to May 2014 (prospective observation period) were enrolled as the bundle treatment group. Forty patients with matched disease history admitted from January 2010 to August 2012 were enrolled as the control group. The patients in bundle treatment group received bundle treatment based on the treatment strategy of primary diseases. Bundle treatment included restrictive fluid management, respiratory support, high-dose ambroxol combined with Xuebijing injection, prevention of ventilation associated pneumonia (VAP), individualized sedation plan, installation of continuous blood purification treatment for critical patients. A special team was organized to ensure the successful implementation of all bundle measures. The acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ (APACHEⅡ) score, oxygenation index, duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay, incidence of VAP, and 28-day mortality 5 days after treatment were compared between two groups.Results There were no significant differences in basic characteristics of patients between the two groups, including gender, age, etiology, severity, etc. (allP> 0.05) with comparability. Compared with the control group, there was no significant difference in APACHEⅡ score 5 days after treatment in bundle treatment group (15.1±2.8 vs. 16.2±3.0,t = 1.618,P = 0.110). Compared with control group, oxygenation index in bundle treatment group was significantly improved [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 135.4±34.5 vs. 117.1±34.2,t = -2.273,P = 0.026), the duration of mechanical ventilation was obviously reduced (days: 8.70±2.50 vs. 10.10±2.67,t = 2.308,P = 0.024), incidence of VAP was significantly lower [18.2% (6/33) vs. 32.5% (13/40),χ2 = 5.027,P = 0.025], and 28-day mortality rate was obviously lowered [24.2% (8/33) vs. 37.5% (15/40),χ2 = 4.372,P = 0.037], the length of ICU stay shown no statistical difference (days:10.40±1.94 vs. 11.30±2.34,t = 1.620,P = 0.110).Conclusion Implementation of bundle treatment can significantly shorten the duration of mechanical ventilation, reduce the incidence of VAP, and improve the prognosis of patients.

MTT assay and flow cytometry were adopted to describe the proliferation and cell cycle of Bel-7402 cells. Expression of P27 protein was determined by immunohistochemical method. The statistical analysis was performed using one-way ANOVA and student t test. Results: SPB significantly decreased the expression of HDAC4 in Bel-7402(0.88?0.13) vs (0.12?0.04), P

Objective To compare the growth property of the stem cells taken from different brain regions at the same developmental stage. Methods Mice embryos at the same development stage were isolated under sterile conditions, cortex, striatum, diencephalon, mid-hind brain and spinal cord were collected and pooled separately, after single-cell suspension obtained, different regions' cell suspensions were seeded in FGF supplemented serum-free culture medium. Followed the neural stem cell clone(neurospheres) fromation, immuno-cytochemistry method was utilized to identify the cell characteristics, all these clones were passaged under same conditions, clone formation and cell migration were observed under phase-contrast microscope. Results In the FGF added serum-free medium, neural cells experienced a large scale death within 48h after being seeded, then few single cells began to proliferate and formed the floating cell clones in the medium. These clones (neurospheres) could form new clones when seeded as single cell suspension. If these clones were seeded on poly-orithine, they could differentiate into neurons and glia cells. Compare the clone formation and cell migration, we found that: cortex, striatum, diencephalon all could form floating clones with different rate, the cortex formed clones at the highest rate, striatum and diencephalon at lower rate; few neurospheres formed from cortex adhered to the culture plate substrate and few cells were found migrating out from the adhered clones, striatum and diencephalon derived neurospheres adhered the plate more easily, and there were apparent cell migration. Mid-hind brain and spinal cord formed clones at the lowest rate, floating clones were scarce, and the clones adhered to the substrate readily, there were large amount of cell migrating out from these adhered clones. Conclusion Neural stem cells could proliferate and be passaged in vitro in serum-free medium, and they could be induced to differentiate under certain conditions into major cells types of CNS, there were differences in clone forming rate and cell migration between neural stem cells derived from different CNC regions, nonetheless they were at the same development stage, this may reflect that, in some degree, these cells can keep some of their region-specified developmental intrinsic property in vitro.

Objective To identify the incidence and risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding in patients supported with mechanical ventilation over 48 hours. Method A total of 127 ICU patients supported with mechanical ventilation for over 48 hours were enrolled from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008 for the retrospective study. Exclusion criteria included the history of gastrointestinal bleeding and ulcer, recent gastrointestinal surgery, brain death and active bleeding from nose or throat. Demographics of patients including age, diagnosis at admission, duration of ICU stay, duration of mechanical ventilation, pattern and parameters of ventilation, ICU mortality, A-PACHE II score, multiple organ dysfunction score, and the results of biochemical assays including renal, hepatic and coagulation functions were recorded. Risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding were analyzed by using univariate analysis And multiple logistic-regression analysis. Results Of the 127 patients, the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding was 41.7% . and among them 3.9% patients suffered from clinically significant bleeding. However, the independent risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding were the peak inspiratory pressure > 30 cmH20 (RR = 3.73, 95% CI = 1.59-9.46), renal failure (RR = 1.16,95% CI = 1.02 - 2.32), PLT count <50× 109 L-1(RR = 2.67, 95% CI = 1.32 - 15.78) and prolonged APTT (RR = 4.58, 95%CI = 2.32 - 12.96). The good entetal nutrition had a beneficial effect to the avoidance of gastrointestinal bleeding ( RR = 0.30, 95% CI = 0. 13 - 0.67). Conclusions The incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding is high in patients supported with mechanical ventilation, and the bleeding usually occurs within the first 48 hours. High pressure ventilator setting, renal failure, decreased PLT count and prolonged APTT are significant risk factors of gastrointestinal bleeding. However, the good enteral nutrition is the independent protective factors.
