Objective To explore the risk factors of the occurence and 28-day death of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in intensive care unit (ICU). Methods A prospective multicentral cohort study was conducted. The patients from five ICUs of grade A tertiary hospitals in Beijing from July 2009 to March 2014, including sepsis,septic shock,trauma,pneumonia,aspiration,massive blood transfusion,bacteremia and pulmonary contusion,were enrolled. Researchers in each center reported the records with uniform tables,which included demographic,systemic conditions,the primary disease,and the severity within 24 hours,past history and so on. According to the admission diagnosis in ICU,these patients were divided into ARDS group and other severe disease control group. The risk factors of occurence and prognosis of ARDS were analyzed by univariate analysis,multivariate logistic regression and multivariate COX regression analysis. Kaplan-Meier method was applied to draw the 28-day survival curves of the two groups. Results There were 343 critical patients included in this prospective multicenter cohort study,of which 163 patients who developed ARDS were considered as ARDS group(2 case lost to follow-up, and 49 died)and 180 patients who did not developed ARDS regarded as severe control group(1 case lost to follow-up, and 34 died). The 28-day mortality of ARDS group was significantly higher than that of severe control group〔30.43%(49/161)vs. 18.99%(34/179),χ2=6.013,P=0.014〕. Multivariate logistic analysis showed that aspiration〔odds ratio(OR)=6.390,95% confidence interval(95%CI)=2.046-19.953,P=0.001〕,history of alcohol (OR=4.854,95%CI=1.730-13.617,P=0.003),sepsis(OR=2.859,95%CI=1.507-5.425,P=0.001), pneumonia(OR=2.822,95%CI=1.640-4.855,P<0.001),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score(OR=1.050,95%CI=1.007-1.094,P=0.022)were significantly associated with increased risk of ARDS occurence. When respiratory rate>30 beats/min(OR=3.305,95%CI=1.910-5.721,P<0.001), heart rate>100 beats/min(OR=2.101,95%CI=1.048-4.213,P=0.037)happened in critically ill patients, it highly suggested ARDS would happen. The proportion of the patients whose serum creatinine>176.8 μmol/L in ARDS group was lower than that in control group(OR=0.387,95%CI=0.205-0.733,P=0.004). Multivariate COX regression analysis showed that old age and septic shock were significantly associated with the increased risk of in 28-day death of ARDS〔advanced age:hazard ratio(HR)=1.040,95%CI=1.018-1.064,P<0.001;septic shock:HR=3.209,95%CI=1.676-6.146,P<0.001〕. Kaplan-Meier showed that the survival patients in ARDS group was significantly lower than those in severe control group(χ2=7.032,P=0.008). Conclusions Among critical ill patients,aspiration,history of alcohol,sepsis,pneumonia,increased APACHEⅡ score were the risk factors of ARDS development. Respiratory rate>30 beats/min and heart rate>100 beats/min could predict the occurrence of ARDS in critical patients. Old age and septic shock were the risk factors of 28-day death of ARDS.

Objective :
To study the distribution range of the color values of the upper anterior teeth of Uygur youth in the Kashi area of XinJiang as a reference for clinical applications.
Methods:
Based on the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) L*a*b* color system, the colorimetric values of the anterior teeth of 212 Uygur youths in Xinjiang, Kashi, were analyzed by digital camera colorimetry. There were 105 males and 107 females. The length of the neck to the cutting end of the tooth was measured, and the tooth was evenly divided into thirds. To determine the chromaticity values of the incisors, lateral incisors, cuspids, and middle teeth, 1/3 of the cervical, middle and incisal regions and 9 test areas were measured.
Results :
The color of the cervical, middle and incisal regions of the same tooth position in Uygur youth in the Kashi area showed the following trends: L* value: middle regions > cervical regions > incisal regions; a* value: cervical regions > incisal regions > middle regions; b* value: cervical regions > middle regions > incisal regions, and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The value of L* gradually decreased, and the value of a* gradually increased (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in the a* value of male and female maxillary anterior teeth (P > 0.05). However, there was a significant difference in the b* value between the middle teeth and the incisors, the middle and the incisal regions of the upper maxillary incisors, and the cutting end of the upper maxillary incisors (P < 0.05).
Conclusions
There was a significant difference in the color of the cervical, middle and incisal of the same tooth. The upper jaw gradually reduced from the incisors to the sharp teeth, and the color gradually became reddish. The maxillary central incisor was brighter in males than in females, and the middle and incisal regions of the maxillary front teeth were more yellow than in males than in females.

Objective :
To explore the killing effect of chimeric antigen receptor NK⁃92 (CAR⁃NK⁃92) cells targeting mesothelin (MSLN) on ovarian cancer cells.
Methods :
The expression of MSLN in primary ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines was detected by immunohistochemical analysis and immunofluorescence, respectively. The CAR⁃NK⁃92 cells targeting MSLN were constructed by lentiviral transfection, the transfection efficiency was detected by flow cytometry, and the killing effect of CAR⁃NK⁃92 on ovarian cancer was verified in vivo and in vitro.
Results :
MSLN was highly expressed in primary ovarian cancer tissues and ovarian cancer cell lines. Flow
cytometry showed that the purity of CAR⁃NK⁃92 targeting MSLN was about 70% . The experiments found that MSLN⁃CAR⁃NK⁃92 cells had a strong anti⁃ovarian cancer effect in vivo and in vitro , and could release more cytokines interferon⁃γ and tumor necrosis factor⁃α .
Conclusion
MSLN⁃CAR⁃NK⁃92 has strong anti⁃ovarian cancer effects in vivo and in vitro, providing a new potential treatment option for ovarian cancer patients.
