The occurrence of iliac vein compression syndrome(IVCS) has the anatomic factor.IVCS has no specific symptoms and signs.The diagnosis of IVCS is mainly made by venography, intravascular pressure measurement, intravascular ultrasound, Doppler ultrasound,magnetic resonance venography, and CT.Before the occurrence of acute iliofemoral thrombosis,the treatment of IVCS is conservative therapy.The purpose of surgical intervention is to resolve the obstruction and keep the blood flow. The surgery of occluded iliac veins secondary to IVCS is now to be replaced by endovascular reconstruction. IVCS can be treated correctly before the occurrence of iliofemoral thrombosis and its sequelae can be reduced greatly, if the diagnosis of IVCS can be made as early as possible,and the degree of the stenosis of the iliac vein,the characteristics of its hemorheology and hemodynamics can be understood in time.

Objective To explore the strategies of prevention and treatment of MRSA infection in ICU patients. Methods The clinical data of 6 patients with MRSA infection occurring at the same time in ICU were reviewed retrospectively. Results Vancomycin was given in 4 cases, 250mg twice daily, and teicoplanin was given in one case, 400mg once daily. MRSA cultures were negative in 5 cases after antibiotic treatment. Conclusions MRSA infection occurs frequently in ICU patients, and it spreads readily. Antibiotic treatment, isolation and bacteriological monitoring are very important measures for control of MRSA infection in ICU patients. [HS(1*2/3]

Objective In the present study we examined the roles of three proinflammatory cytokines, i.e. tumor necrosis factor-?(TNF-?), interleukin 1?(IL-1?), and IL-8 in the early phase of APTE, and analyze the impact of these cytokines on the systemic circulation. Methods APTE was induced in 7 anesthetized dogs by injecting the thrombus of own blood into the right jugular vein. Seven animals receiving only warm sterile saline served as controls. Arterial serum samples were collected regularly (0h, 0.5h, 1h, 2h, 4h, 6h) and cytokine levels could be measured by radio-immunity assay. Results Introduction of clots into the pulmonary circulation caused significant increase in the mean pulmonary arterial pressure(from 99.1?5.7 to 66.8?15.3mmHg, P

Objective On the basis of the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ), to establish and appraise a new prognostic evaluation system for elder patients with respiratory failure undergoing mechanical ventilation in order to predict hospital mortality in the respiratory intensive care unit. Methods Two hundred and thirty-eight senile patients with respiratory failure having had mechanical ventilation during their hospitalization were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: model group (n=138) and validation group (n=100). Data of model group were analyzed by monofactorial and multifactorial regression analysis to screen the risk factors. Risk factors were given numerical values according to different grades, and complementary scoring system was then established. APACHE Ⅱ system was combined with complementary scoring system with Logistic multiple regression to form SRFMV system, a special evaluation system for the senile patients with respiratory failure undergoing mechanical ventilation. One hundred patients from validation group were evaluated by both SRFMV system and APACHE Ⅱ system, and the results were then compared to assess the validity and reliability of SRFMV system. Oxygenation index, positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP), tidal volume, phlegm quantity and character, and pulmonary auscultation were selected to serve as standard for complementary scoring system. Mortality equation was set up with logistic multiple regression analysis. Results The predication sensitivity and specificity evaluated by SRFMV system in validation group (0.878 and 0.821, respectively) outstripped that evaluated by APACHE Ⅱsystem (0.818 and 0.771, respectively); the area under ROC curve in SRFMV system and the X2 value in Lemesshow-Hosmer statistic (0.911 and 13.77, respectively) also outstripped that in APACHE Ⅱsystem (0.860 and 11.808, respectively). Conclusions SRFMV system is of better sensitivity and specificity, in which the prediction of mortality is closely consistent with the reality. SRFMV system can be applied to obtain valid predictions of relevant outcomes in senile patients with respiratory failure underwent mechanical ventilation.

Objective To investigate mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 and their signifi-cance in injured spinal cord after transplantation of activated microglia. Methods Wistar rat model of spinal cord injury was made by using modified Allen's method. Then, the activated microglia was trans-planted into spinal cord injury models tu detect mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 in the spinal curd. Results The mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1 in control group were significantly lower than that in test group (P<0.05). Conclusion Transplantation of activated microglia to the impaired spinal cord in rats can increase the mRNA and protein expressions of TGF-β1. The up-regulated expres-sion of TGF-β1 in spinal cord may play a role in promoting the recovery of spinal cord, when the activated microglia may be the main saurce of TGF-β1.

Objective To study the role of activated microglia transplantation in recovery of hindlimb locomotor function in rats with spinal cord injury(SCI). Methods A total of 40 female adult Wistar rats were selected and divided into four groups randomly(10 rats in each group).The former two groups were locomotor function observation groups,in which rat model with spinal cord was established by striking with improved self-made Allen's strike equipment to fabricate moderate spinal cord injury and divided into transplantation group and control group.The latter two were histological observation groups,the spinal cord injury model was fabricated by the same above-mentioned method and divided into transplantation and control groups.Before fabricating the spinal cord injury model,the microglia of the newborn rats were cultured,separated,purified and identified and the purity of the microglia determined.The injury position was exposed again seven days after transplantation and the cell suspension of microglia was injected around the injury position with microsyringe,which was free in the control group.The hindlimb locomotor function of rats was detected and scored at 1 day,1,2,3 and 4 weeks in the locomotor function observation groups after transplantation respectively.At the same time,two rats were extracted randomly from the control group and the transplantation group in histological observation groups to cut specimen and slice for Naoumenko-Feign paraffin section and dying.Then,the microglia were observed and counted by microscope and analyzed statistically. Results At 1,2,3 and 4 weeks after operation,the BBB score of the control group and the transplantation group was increased gradually with the time.But compared with the control group,transplantation group had higher scores of hindlimb locomotor function at 2,3 and 4 weeks after operation,with statistical difference(P＜0.05).Naoumenko-Feigin paraffin section and dying and microglia counting showed that positive microglia number in the transplantation group was increased more obviously than the control group,with statistical difference(P＜0.05).Conclusion Activated microglia transplantation can promote the recovery of the hindlimb locomotor function in SCI rats.

Objective:To study the therapeutic effect of Liyanling granules on chronic pharyngitis. Methods:The chronic pharyn-gitis rat models were established, and administered orally for 7 days. The influence of Liyanling granules on the pathology of pharyngeal tissue and the contents of PGE2 , IL-1β and TNF-α were observed. The blood was withdrawn to detect the whole blood viscosity and plasma viscosity, and the anti-inflammatory effects were observed in two kinds of rat models:foot pad swelling induced by carrageenin and agar-induced chronic granuloma. Results:Liyanling granule could significantly decrease the levels of PGE2 , IL-1βand TNF-α( P<0. 05 or P<0. 01) and the viscosity of blood and plasma(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), improve the pathological morphology of rat pharynge-al tissues(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01), inhibit the swelling of foot pad induced by carrageenin and the granuloma induced by agar in rats(P<0. 05 or P<0. 01). Conclusion:Liyanling granules has a certain therapeutic effect on chronic pharyngitis in rats, and the mecha-nism may be related with the inhibition of inflammatory cytokines PGE2 ,IL-1β and TNF-α and the improvement of blood rheology.

Objective To investigate if the relative ratio between C1q and C3a, C5a had a relationship with the extent of coronary artery disease ( CAD) which had never been evaluated in humans.Methods Fifty-three patients scheduled for elective percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI ) from February, 2016 to April, 2016 at Fuwai hospital were prospectively enrolled.According to the clinical and angiographic characters patients were divided into two groups:acute coronary syndrome ( ACS) group ( n=24), and control group (n=29, 19 patients with stable angina and 10 patients without CAD confirmed by angiography).In all individuals, fasting venous blood was collected by EDTA tubes after admission and strictly before PCI.The plasma level of C1q was measured by immune turbidimetric analysis, C3a and C5a were measured by ELISA tests.Differences between groups were assessed using t test, Mann-Whitney Utests, chi-squared test or Fisher exact test depending on the type of data respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to evaluate the adjusted effect of C1q, C3a, C5a, C1q/C3a and C1q/C5a on ACS.Results Compared with control group, ACS group has an elevated circulation level of C3a (4 531.14 μg/L vs.4 179.95 μg/L, t=1.381,P=0.173) and C5a (6.44 μg/L vs.4.42 μg/L, t=0.133, P=0.108) but a decreased level of C1q (176.98 μg/ml vs.200.60 μg/ml, t=-2.022, P=0.048).The relative ratio of C1q/C3a was significantly decreased in ACS patients(4.05 ×10 -2 vs.4.97 × 10 -2 , t=-2.484, P=0.016).According to the multiple logistic regression analysis, lower relative ratio of C1q/C3a level proved to be independently associated with ACS ( OR=0.937, P=0.047, 95% CI:0.879-0.998).Conclusions The decreased relative ratio of C1q/C3a level proved to be independently associated with ACS.C1q/C3a ratio could be used as an important index reflecting the complement system homeostasis status which might have potential clinical value in evaluating the prognosis of patients with CAD.
