The materials for coronary stents preparation can be divided into metal and polymer. Metal stent has excellent processing properties; however, it is limited by the problem such as long-term safety and coronary restenosis. The radical force of polymeric stent is smaller than metal stent, therefore, it is need to make large stent volume with thickness to supporting the vessels, which tents to be a potential danger for blood vessels. Though bioabsorbable alloy stent has the advantage of improving biocompatibility, enhancing vascular remodeling, and reconstructing vascular hemodynamics, it is need to further study the safety. We compared the merits and demerits of different stents materials, explored the development and related questions of drug eluting stents, and analyzed the correlation between processing technology and biocompatibility of stents.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the protective effect of berberine on CCl4-induced acute liver injury in mice.METHODS: Kunming mice were included and equally divided into 6 groups: normal group,model group,berberine groups(40,20,10 mg?kg-1).After intragastric administration of corresponding drugs for 5 consecutive days,the mice were intraperitoneally injected with CCl4(10 mL?kg-1) to establish liver injury mice model.Alanine transaminase(ALT) and aspartate transaminase(AST) in serum,activities of superoxidase(SOD) and malondialdehyde(MDA) content in liver homogenate were measured.RESULTS: In Berberine-treated groups compared the model group,serum ALT level and AST activity decreased significantly(P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the risk factors,characteristics,measures of prevention and treatment of hospital fungal infection among maintenance hemodialysis patients.METHODS Clinical data of 128 maintenance hemodialysis patients between Jan 2002 and Dec 2006 were enrolled in this retrospective study of hospitalized infection cases.RESULTS During above period,36 infection episodes of 27 cases were occurred.The major infection site was lungs(69.4%).the Candida albicans was the main pathogen species(61.1%).The underlying and complicating diseases such as diabetes,chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and tumor,long antibiotics using,long hospitalization,poor nutrition status,inadequate hemodialysis,and venous indwelling catheter were the risk factors which led to fungal infection among maintenance hemodialysis patients.CONCLUSIONS The maintenance hemodialysis patients are easy to induce fungal infection.The C.albicans is the main pathogen species.The incidence of underlying diseases is rather high.Treatment of original diseases and complicating diseases,the standard using of antibiotics,adequate hemodialysis,the nutrition status and the reduction of the indwelling time of venous catheter are all the keys to decrease the fungal infection.

Objective To analyze the features of EMU survived casualties and the rescue during a head -on- rear collision between two EMU trains on 23 July 2011 ( July 23 train collision accident) at Wenzhou station.Methods The casualties treated in many major hospitals in Wenzhou were surveyed within 24 hours after the accident occurred.The data of age,gender,type of injury and injury severity of the wounded were analyzed.Results A total of 136 casualties were treated within the first 24 hours after the accident occurred,and the male patients and female patients accounted for 55.89％ and 44.11％ respectively,blunt trauma was the main cause of injuries.The percent of multiple injuries in the wounded survivals accounted for 79.41％.The most common injury site of the survived casualties was chest,followed by four limbs and spine.All the wounded were rescued on the spot and were referred to the hospitals with better medical facilities.Conclusions There was no significant difference in gender of the wounded.Blunt trauma was the leading cause of injuries,and the chest,four limbs and spine were the liable parts of body to be traumatized.Saving life,triaging and transferring the wounded as soon as possible were the major algorithm during the initial stage of medical rescue after the accident occurred.

Objective The hypoxic-ischemic(HI) cardio-cerebral damage caused by cardiac arrest in perioperative period is the main cause of acute and chronic disability in children patients.To investigate role of mitochondrial dysfunction in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage of mice.Methods The hypoxic-ischemic mice model was established by the bilateral carotid artery occlusion and hypoxia treatment.The neurobehavior of mice in HI model group,sham-operated group,and comparative group were evaluated within 48 hours after operation.After 48 hours,the mice were killed to evaluate the brain water content,mitochondria content,swelling,antioxidant capacity,and respiratory function.Results Within 0,24 hours after operation,the abnormal rate of the neurobehavior of HI model mice was 83.33％,which was significantly higher than comparative and sham-operated groups.The water content of right brain was significantly increased evidently compared to the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The content and swelling of mitochondria in brain were increased.The activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD),the glutathione (GSH) content,respiratory state 3 (ST3),and respiration control of rate (RCR) were significantly decreased; while the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and ST4 were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The brain tissue showed different swelling,the mitochondrial function occurred disorder,which might play an important role in hypoxic-ischemic brain damage of mice.

Objective To determine the effect of fast passage for patients' access to the emergency department of hospital on rescuing and triaging the traumatic casualties referred from the site of accident by collision between two bullet trains occurred at Wenzhou station on 23 July 2011 in order to accumulate experience of treating large number of traumatized casualties happened in a major accident or disaster.Methods A retrospective study was carried out to collect the data including the different courses of treatment for various types of injury in casualties and the length of stay of traumatized patients with different degrees of severity in the emergency department after casualties entered into the emergency department of hospital via fast passage.Results There were 136 traumatic casualties referred to hospital within 72 hours after the bullet train accident occurred at Wenzhou station.The average length of stay of patients with uncomplicated single injury in the hospital was 27min,and the average length of stay of 108 patients with multiple injuries in the emergency department was 62 min.In last year,the annually average length of stay of casualties in emergency department was 50 min longer when there was no fast passage available for patient to enter into.Conclusions The fast passage for casualties entering into emergency department not only guarantees the traumatized patients rescued in no time after bullet train accident but also shortens the length of stay in the Emergency Department.

Objective To analyze the injury features of the wounded in the bullet train crash in July 23,2011 in Wenzhou of Zhejiang and explore treatment experience.Methods A total of 177 cases who were injured or died in the 7.23 Wenzhou bullet train crash were involved in the study.The age,gender,injury types,injury regions and injury severity were analyzed by using Trauma Database System V3.0 ( produced by China Trauma Data Center of Third Military Medical University). Results A total of 137 cases were admitted to our hospital within 24 hours after the bullet train crash in Wenzhou.There were 76 males and 61 females,with no significant difference.Of the 137 cases,136 survived and one died after medical treatment.The major injury types included impact injury,crush injury and heavy weight falling injury.Among the 136 survivors,108 cases were with multiple injuries,accounting for 79.4％.The most common injury region of the survivors was the chest,followed by the head and limb.The minimum trauma index (TI) was 5 points and the maximum 27 points.There were 4 cases(3.7％ )with TI ≤9 points,86 (79.6％) with 10-16 points and 18 (16.7％) with ≥ 17 points.Of all,78 cases (72.2％) had ISS score ＜ 16 points and 30 (27.8％) had ≥16 points.The minimum ISS was 3 points and maximum 75 points.There were 40 deaths including the one died after medical treatment,who were all with multiple injuries,with head injury the main cause.ConclusionsThe causes of the bullet train crashes are complicated,with high incidence of multiple injuries.The injury severity is varied,but the overall situation is not serious.Distribution of common injury regions is significantly different between the wounded and the dead.Injury triage,patient transfer and specialist treatment of the wounded should be carried out appropriately during the initial stage of medical rescue based on those injury features after the bullet train crashes.

Objective To analyze the relationship between the level of 25 (OH )D and mortality in maintenance hemodialysis (M HD) patients .Methods This study was a prospective cohort study .We enrolled 156 M HD patients of Sichuan people′s hospital dialysis center in July of 2010 .The patients were divided into three groups according to the level of 25(OH)D .The three groups were normal(25(OH)D>30 ng/mL) ,insufficient(15 ng/mL<25(OH)D≤30 ng/mL) and deficient(25(OH)D≤15 ng/mL) re‐spectively .All the patients were follow‐up 40 months ;the end point was all‐cause and cardiovascular death .Results After follow‐up 40 months ,there were 26 deaths (16 .7% ) and 13 cardiovascular deaths among the 156 cases .There were 15 deaths (30 .6% ) in in‐sufficient group ,among which there were nine cardiovascular deaths ;there were eight deaths (11 .6% ) in deficient group ,among which there were three cardiovascular deaths ;there were three deaths (7 .9% ) in normal group ,among which there was one cardio‐vascular death .There was statistically significance either between all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality of deficient and normal group or between deficient and insufficient group (P<0 .05) .The Kaplan‐Meier curve analysis showed 25(OH)D≤15 ng/mL was the independent risk factor of the all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality(P<0 .05) .Cox regression showed 25(OH)D≤15 ng/mL was the independent risk factor of the all‐cause mortality in crude analysis (RR=4 .43 ,95% CI:1 .28-15 .32 ,P<0 .05) and adjus‐ted analysis (RR=4 .92 ,95% CI 1 .23-19 .66 ,P<0 .05) .Cox regression showed 25(OH)D≤15 ng/mL was the risk factor of the cardiovascular mortality in crude analysis(RR=8 .12 ,95% CI:1 .04 -64 .15 ,P=0 .047) .Conclusion 25(OH)D≤15 ng/mL was the risk factor and predictor of the all‐cause and cardiovascular mortality in M HD patients .

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of resistin in subcutaneous adipose tissue and its effect on glycometabolism in rats with traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Fifty-six SD rats were randomly divided into TBI group (n =48) and control group (n =8) according to the random number table.mRNA and protein expressions of resistin in subcutaneous adipose tissue were detected with real-time PCR and Western-blot.Concentrations of serum insulin and serum fasting blood glucose were evaluated using the ELISA method and quantitative estimation of insulin sensitivity was performed.Indices measured and their correlations were statistically analyzed.Results Levels of the resistin,serum insulin and FBG were significantly higher in TBI group than in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Quantitative estimation of insulin sensitivity lowered in TBI group compared to control group (P ＜ 0.05).Single factor linear correlation analysis showed negative correlation between resistin expression and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index in TBI group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Resistin is shown to have significant expression in subcutaneous adipose tissue and involve in glycometabolism.Obviously,resistin may play a significant role in insulin resistance after TBI in rats.
