Methods 91 patients receiving mechanical ventilation from Jan 2002 to May 2004 were divided into two groups: death group and survival group. The patients' clinical data were retrospectively analyzed by Logistic regression method. Results Of the 98 patients, 48 cases (52.7%) died in the ICU, and 43 cases (47.3%)were survival. By means of single factor analysis, differences in total hospitalized time, time stayed in ICU,active partial thromboplastin time, red cell count, the level of haemoglobin and blood glucose, and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scores between the two groups were significant (P

Objective to establish a method used for qualitative and quantitative determination of the cyanide in biological samples by using HS/GC/ECD. Method C1CN was formed as the choramines-T derivative through reaction of the potassium cyanide with chloramines-T and then was analyzed by GC/ ECD/HS. Results if 0.2ug potassium cyanide was added to 1ml blood sample, the recovery was 84.6% and RSD was 6.39%. If 0.5ug potassium cyanide was added to 1. 0g liver, the recovery was 67.3 % and RSD was 5.05%. The detection limit of blood sample was 5ng/ml. Conclusion This method can be used for analyzing the cyanide in biological samples quantitatively.

AIM: To analyze secondary structure and physico-chemical property of the fusion protein with bioinformatics network resource, and explore the expression of a secretory anti-osteoblastic carcinoma single-chain bi-functional antibody gene. METHODS: ①The single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) antibody gene and interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene were subcloned into corresponding restriction sites of retrovirus expression vector PLxSN. Mediated by liposome, the recombinant plasmid pL(ScFv-IL-2)SN was packaged with PA317 and selected in G418 to obtain the positive clones, which were able to produce stable retrovirus, and then osteosarcoma (OSC) cells were infected by the recombinant retrovirus, terming OSC/ScFv-IL-2. The virus titer was detected by using NIH3T3.②The transfected OSC9901 cells by ScFv-IL-2 gene were identified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), reversed transcription-PCR and Western blotting. After the fusion protein was constructed, DNAssist and ANTHEPROT V5 softwares were used to analyze the amino acid sequence, the secondary structure, and the physico-chemical property of fusion protein. RESULTS: ①After the restriction enzyme and PCR identification, the pL(ScFv-IL-2)SN as a fusion protein expression vector, was constructed successfully, and high titer C26 cells were obtained; the expression of recombinant protein was confirmed by Western blotting.②On the fusion genes, the DNA sequence was analyzed with DNAssist nucleic acid sequence analysis software, and their secondary structure and physico-chemical property were analyzed with ANTHEPROT V5. CONCLUSION: The property of fusion protein can be analyzed and forecasted by means of bioinformatics network resources, and the approach may provide evidences for investigating single-chain bi-functional antibody gene.

Objective To investigate the clinical and serological manifestations of the interstitial lung disease(ILD) resulting from the dermatomyositis(DM) or the polymyodsitis(PM),and the factors affecting the resulting of treatment for the purpose of providing necessary reference for clinical treatment and diagnosis.Methods The clinical manifestations and the findings of serological tests of 18 patients compared with only DM or PM.Results ILD was likely to strike 42.9 percent of patients with DM or PM,who were higher than those without ILD in the rate of positive Jo-1,LDH and Reynolds disease.Conclusion The patients with DM or PM,with their high probability to be stricken by ILD,need HR-CT scanning in order to be diagnosed as early as possible.

Abstract PCB faults on X-ray machine occur frequently in our hospital due to humid climate, which lead to many malfunctions such as potentiometer failure, blank screen, lacking KV display, unavailable parameter choosing and disappearing of Er1～Er7 fault code. These malfunctions could be diagnosed and repaired quickly based on analyzing the status of the machine's workflow indicator lights, as well as studying circuit and function principle of the equipment.

The signification and status quo of value engineering are introduced. Its application and significance in clinical medical engineering especially in the quality-control of medical instrument are also discussed.

Objective To assess the Chinese System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation (SinoSCORE) model in patients undergoing heart valve surgery at our center.Methods From January 2009 to December 2011,2098 consecutive adult patients who underwent heart valve surgery at our center were collected and scored according to the SinoSCORE model.All patients were divided into three risk subgroups.The entire cohort and each risk subgroup were analysed.Calibration of the SinoSCORE model was assessed by the Hosmer-Lemeshow(H-L) test.Discrimination was tested by calculating the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results Observed mortality of all 2098 patients was 3.00％.Despite there were significant differences between the SinoSCORE population and our own population sample,the SinoSCORE model showed good calibration(Hosmer-Lemeshow:P =0.783) and discriminative power (area under the ROC curve of 0.752)in predicting in-hospital mortality at the entire cohort.Conclusion The SinoSCORE model give an accurate prediction for individual operative risk in heart valve surgery patients at our center.

Objective To explore the neuroimmunomedulation mechanism of ICAM-1 and LFA-1 in children with febrile seizures (FS).Methods 40 children with FS were dividedinto simple FS(SFs)groupin20 cases and complex FS(CFS)groupin20 cases,and 30 health children matched with regard to age and sex were enrolled into control group.The real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR wag used to detect the expression of PBMC ICAM-1 mRNA.At the same time,the PBMC LFA-1 mRNA expression wfs studied with Send-QuantitativeRT-PCR analysis.Results The levels of PBMC ICAM-1 mRNA in SFS group were significantly higher than those in control group and CF$group(P<0.05).The levels ofPBMC ICAM-1 mRNA showed downtrend between CFS group and control group.but there was no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05).The levels of PBMC LFA-1 mRNA grey-scales in SFS group were significantly higher than those in control group and CFS group(P<0.05).In addition,the levels of PBMC LFA-1 mRNA in CFS group showed downtrend than those in control group,but there wti8 no statistical difference between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusions The gene expression levels of PBMC ICAM-I/LFA-I in SFS group were different from those in CFS group.Inflammable immunopathology damage induced by ICAM-1/LFA-1 may play an important role in the pathogenesis of SFS.On the contrary,ICAM-1/LFA-1 may have seme neuroprotective effects on the pathogenesis of CFS.

Objective To define the incidence and perioperative risk factors of new-onset atrial fibrillation for patients with preoperative sinus rhythm after successful mitral valve replacement.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on 586 patients with preoperative sinus rhythm who underwent successful mitral valve replacement in our hospital from 1998 to 2008.The cases were classified into postoperative atrial fibrillation (AF group) or postoperative sinus rhythm (SR group).Twenty-nine risk factors including clinical and echocardiography data were selected into univariate analysis by using student' s t test or chi-squared test according to the data type.The factors with a value of P ＜ 0.1 in univariate analysis were assessed by multivariate logistic regression.A value of P ＜ 0.05 (two-sided) was considered to be statistically significant in multivariate logistic regression. ResultsOne hundred and eighteen patients had atrial fibrillation postoperatively. The incidence was 20.1％.Univariate analysis revealed that the factors including age,chronic lung disease,left ventricular mass,left atrial volume,right atrial volume,tricuspid valve regurgitation,heart failure,valvular pathology,postoperative prosthetic mitral effective orifice area index,postoperative mechanical ventilation time,serum levels of potassium and magnesium significantly increased the risk of postoperative atrial fibrillation.However,in multivariate logistic regression,age,left atrial volume and postoperative prosthetic mitral valve effective orifice area index and serum of potassium had significant statistically significances between AF group and SR group.Conclusion Age,left atrial volume,postoperative prosthetic valve effective orifice area index and serum of potassium were significant predictors of postoperative new-onset atrial fibrillation for patients with preoperative sinus rhythm after mitral valve replacement.
