In early stage of the severe acute pancreatitis, mediators of inflammation make the permeability of the microcirculation blood vessel increasing and more fluidify aggregates in tissue space. Pancreatic tissue is dropsical and necrotic ; a great quantity of body fluid accumulates in abdominal cavity, which induce utility circulation volume and returned blood volume decreasing rapidly. As more and more utility circulation volume decreases, the blood current of the coronary arterY is insufficient and the cardiac muscle cell is ischemic, the cardiac muscle is suffering injury to different extent. The cardiac load is overweight relatively. The cardiac muscle fiber is prolonged and interchanged idand cardiac muscle cellular membrane is damaged. The chain reaction and magnification of the mediators of inflammation let body delivery generous cell factors such as TNF-α,interleukin, oxygen free radical and so on, which make cardiac muscle cell's integrality damage,apoptosis,cardiac functional disturbance even exhaustion. In addition, abdominal compartment syndrome,pancreatitis associated ascetic fluid and electrolyte disturbances etc are also the important factors that affect the development of the disease.

Objective To investigate the effect of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) on pulmonary vascular permeability in the early stage of septic shock.Methods Fifty-one patients of septic shock admitted in intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hopsital of Medical College,Zhejiang University between June 2010 and December 2011 were randomized into two groups by simple random method.Routine treatment was carried out to patients in group A,and routine treatment plus CVVH to patients in group B in the first 72 hours.Repeated respiratory mechanic hemodynamic measurements were done at baseline (Tb) before treatment,at 48 hours (T48) and 72 hours (T72) after the treatment.Pulmonary compliance (Cst),platform pressure (Pplat),oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2),extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and E-selectin determined at each time point were recorded in two groups.Results (1) Pplat were decreased significantly after treatment in two groups,and the Pplat in group B were all lower than those in group A at T48 and T72 (t =2.215,P ＜ 0.05 ; t =4.266,P ＜ 0.01).Cst were elevated after treatment in two groups,and Cst in group B were all higher than those in group A at T48 and T72 (t =2.516,P ＜0.05 ; t =3.052,P ＜ 0.01).(2) Compared to before treatment,PaO2/FiO2 increased significantly after treatment in two groups,and PaO2/FiO2 in group B were all higher than those in group A at T48 and T72 (t =2.732,P ＜0.01 ; t =3.511,P ＜0.01).(3) EVLWI were decreased significantly after treatment in two groups,and the EVLWI in group B were all lower than those in group A at T48 and T72 (t =2.597,P ＜0.05; t =2.125,P ＜ 0.05).ITBVI,CI,SVRI and MAP did not change over time in two groups compared with those at Tb (all P ＞ 0.05).(4) E-selectin were decreased significantly after treatment in two groups,and the E-selectin in group B were all lower than those in group A at T48 and T72 (t =2.154,P ＜0.05 ; t =3.581,P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion CVVH in early stage of septic shock can improve pulmonary vascular permeability and oxygenation,increase Cst,and decline EVLWI,with neither increased hemodynamics.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of 125I seed implantation for gastric cancer and to determine whether the therapy could increase the survival rate.Methods Seventy-six gastric cancer patients in stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ were involved and randomly divided into treatment group (n =42) and control group (n =34)by simple random sampling method.The patients in the control group underwent D2 or D3 surgery and the patients in treatment group underwent D2 or D3 surgery plus interstitial implantation of 125I seeds.All patients signed the informed consents.Treatment results were evaluated as CR,PR,NC and PD.CR and PR were considered as effective and the effective rate was calculated.All patients were followed up and the three-or five-year survival rate was calculated,the complications were examined.x2 test was used to compare the significant difference between the two groups.Results The total effective rate in control group was 50.00％ (17/34),lower than that of treatment group (73.81％,31/42; x2 =4.578,P＜0.05).In the treatment group,the three-year and five-year survival rates were 61.90％(26/42) and 42.86％(18/42) respectively,and the corresponding rates in the control group were 11.76％(4/34) and 0(0/34) respectively (x2=19.771,19.094,both P＜0.001).Both of the two groups had few severe side effects.Conclusion Radical surgery plus 1~Iseed implantation is effective and safe for the treatment of stage Ⅱ or Ⅲ gastric cancer and can further improvelong-term survival.

OBJECTIVETo study genome-wide gene expression changes in gastric cancer cells after iodine-125 ¹²⁵(I) particle irradiation.

METHODS¹²⁵I particles were used to irradiate three gastric cancer cell lines of various differentiation levels:high (BGC-823) , medium (AGS) and low (NCI-N87) .Whole-genome gene expression was investigated with microarray. The gene expression in iodine-125 irradiated and untreated cancer cells was compared, and the genes with transcript levels altered for at least 2 folds (P < 0.05) were selected. The change in gene expression levels was verified by using quantitative real-time (qRT) -PCR.

RESULTSThe three gastric cancer cell lines received the same dose rate of ¹²⁵I particle irradiation. Cluster analysis showed that the Gene Ontology (GO) categories did not change in the three cell lines, but changes in gene expression levels were evident for many genes. After ¹²⁵I particle irradiate NCI-N87 cells, 895 genes were up-regulated, 786 genes were down-regulated; AGS was irradiated by ¹²⁵I seed, there were 124 genes upregulated, 161 genes were down-regulated; BGC-823 cells were treated by ¹²⁵I seed irradiation, 2 412 genes upregulated, 3 243 downregulated genes. After ionizing radiation can cause very complex transcriptional regulation changes, KEGG pathway analysis shows that these differentially expressed genes overlap in a particular cell pathway. Four genes, TRAF3IP2-AS1, SDC1, RABL2B and NOM, were found having at least 2-fold difference in expression (P < 0.05) , and the gene expression alteration was confirmed by qRT-PCR.

CONCLUSIONS¹²⁵I particle irradiation caused gene expression changes in gastric cancer cells. The expressions of TRAF3IP2-AS1, SDC1, RABL2B and NOM are altered significantly in all three cell lines studied, indicating that these genes may play an important role in the ¹²⁵I seed treatment of gastric cancer. These genes could be potential targets for developing anti-cancer drugs in the future.

Objective To study the influence of clinical nutritional support on the effects of mechanical ventilation (MV), and to find the factors affecting the outcome of patients undergoing MV. Methods A case-control study was conducted. The clinical data of 235 patients undergoing MV admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Tongde Hospital of Zhejiang Province from January 2015 to June 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether weaning successfully within 7 days. The clinical data of patients in the two groups were collected including gender, age, acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHEⅡ) score, underlying disease, nutritional indicators, nutritional support, and complications. The outcome of withdrawal within 7 days was served as a dependent variable, all observed indicators were served as independent variables, and Logistic regression analysis was carried out to screen the influencing factors of the weaning results within 7 days. Results 235 patients undergoing MV were enrolled, 128 patients were successfully withdrawn within 7 days, and 107 were unsuccessfully withdrawn. Compared with the successful weaning group, the patients of weaning failure group were older, and had higher APACHEⅡ score and lower albumin (Alb) and hemoglobin (Hb), more patients with internal medical underlying diseases and receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) and mixed nutrition, and the incidences of secondary infection, vomiting, abdominal distension, abnormal bowel sound, gastric retention, and diarrhea were higher. However, there was no statistical significance in gender between the two groups. The variables of statistical significance in univariate analysis were enrolled in the multifactor analysis model showing that age [odds ratio (OR) = 1.269, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.119-1.439, P < 0.001], APACHEⅡ score (OR = 1.643, 95%CI = 1.423-1.897, P < 0.001), internal medical underlying diseases (OR = 6.298, 95%CI = 4.012-9.887, P < 0.001), secondary infection (OR = 8.323, 95%CI = 2.568-26.975, P < 0.001), abdominal distension (OR = 3.368, 95%CI = 1.586-7.152, P = 0.002), abnormal bowel sounds (OR = 2.856, 95%CI = 1.215-6.713, P = 0.017), gastric retention (OR = 1.996, 95%CI = 1.183-3.368, P = 0.010), diarrhea (OR = 3.035, 95%CI = 1.337-6.890, P = 0.008) were risk factors for unsuccessful weaning,and compared with PN, enteral nutrition (EN; OR = 0.191, 95%CI = 0.098-0.372, P < 0.001) and mixed nutrition (OR = 0.375, 95%CI = 0.150-0.938, P = 0.037) were protective factors of successful weaning. The gender, Alb and Hb before and after MV, vomiting, gastrointestinal hemorrhage were not associated with weaning outcome within 7 days. Conclusions Elder, high APACHEⅡ score, internal medical underlying diseases, or secondary infection, abdominal distension, abnormal bowel sounds, gastric retention, diarrhea were risk factors of weaning failure within 7 days in patients undergoing MV. Compared with PN, EN and mixed nutrition were protective factors for successful weaning. For patients undergoing MV, EN should be performed early in the case of full recovery, hemodynamic stability, and serious metabolic disorders.

Objective To analyze changes in the percentages of circulating follicular helper T (Tfh) cells and Tfh subsets in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) for better understanding their relationships with SLE , and to investigate effects of steroids on circulating Tfh cells .Methods Pe-ripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 27 patients with SLE (including 10 inactive patients and 17 active patients ) and 21 sex-and age-matched healthy donors were analyzed by flow cytometry to detect the percentage of CD4+CD45RA-CXCR5+Tfh-like cells.Disease activity and the concentration of anti-double-stranded DNA ( anti-dsDNA) antibody were evaluated by SLEDAI score ( SLE disease activity index ) and ELISA, respectively.PBMCs from healthy donors were treated with or without prednisone to evaluate its effects on circulating Tfh cells .Twelve patients with SLE were treated with high-dose steriods ( 200-500 mg/d, 2-3 d) and the percentages of circulating Tfh cells and Tfh subsets in them were analyzed before and after treatment .Results No significant difference in the percentage of circulating Tfh cells was ob-served between patients with SLE and healthy donors (P>0.05), but the percentage of Tfh17 cells in pa-tients with SLE was significantly higher than that in healthy donors (P<0.05).Compared with patients with inactive SLE and healthy donors , patients with active SLE had a lower percentage of Tfh 1 cells (P<0.05).Moreover, the percentage of Tfh1 cells was negatively correlated with SLEDAI score (r=-0.44, P<0.05). The percentage of Tfh2 cells in anti-dsDNA antibody-positive group was significantly higher than that in anti-dsDNA antibody-negative group (P<0.05).In vitro treatment of PBMCs from healthy donors with predni-sone could significantly down-regulate the percentage of circulating Tfh (P<0.01), Tfh1 (P<0.05) and Tfh2 cells (P<0.01), and up-regulate the percentage of Tfh17 cells (P<0.01).In vivo treatment of pa-tients with SLE with steriods could significantly down-regulate the percentage of circulating Tfh (P<0.01), Tfh1 (P<0.05) and Tfh2 cells (P<0.01) and up-regulate the percentage of Tfh17 cells (P<0.01).Con-clusion Abnormal distribution of Tfh subsets is correlated with SLE disease activity and anti -dsDNA anti-body .Steroids in the treatment of SLE could affect the percentage of circulating Tfh cells and the distribution of Tfh subsets .

Objective:To explore the feasibility of anastomosis between bladder and intestine of experimental rabbit by drag anastomosis.Methods:In this study 40 Japanese big-eared rabbits were randomly divided into two groups through random number table, the experimental group and the control group, each group with 20 rabbits. In the experimental group, the bladder neck was fixed to the catheter and then the catheter was drawn outward. With the traction of the catheter, the bladder neck was anastomosed with the distal intestinal tube by means of suture free. The control group was anastomosed by regular interrupted suture of bladder and intestine. The operation time, anastomosis time, intraoperative blood loss, postoperative urinary leakage rate and postoperative anastomotic healing of rabbits in the two groups were compared.Results:The operation time of the experimental group was shorter than that of the traditional interrupted suture anastomosis group [(33.26±2.79)min vs. (35.25±1.83)min, P=0.014]. The anastomosis time of the experimental group was significantly shorter than that of the traditional interrupted suture anastomosis group[(7.55±1.2)min vs. (8.65±1.03 min), P=0.005]. The intraoperative blood loss in the experimental group was similar to that in the control group[(6.47±2.41) ml vs. (6.75±1.83) ml, P=0.691]. The event of contrast media extravasation occurred in 2 of the 10 experimental rabbits after receiving cystography in the experimental group, and the urinary leakage rate was 20%(2/10). In the control group, contrast media extravasation occurred in 1 of the 9 experimental rabbits after receiving cystography, and the urinary leakage rate was 11.1%(1/9), and the difference of the two groups was not statistically significant ( P=0.348). Anastomotic healing score was (2.0±0.7) in the experimental group, and (2.1±0.74) in the control group ( P=0.767). Conclusions:The bladder-intestine drag-and-bond anastomosis technique, with significantly shorter anastomosis time, was feasible, easy and convenient. Our research provides an experimental and theoretical basis for the clinical application of drag-and-bond anastomosis technique in clinic.

Objective: To establish a set of rules for autoverification of blood analysis, in order to provide a way to validate autoverification rules for different analytical systems, which can ensure the accuracy of test results as well as shorten turnaround time (TAT) of test reports. Methods: A total of 34 629 EDTA-K2 anticoagulated blood samples were collected from multicenter cooperative units including the First Hospital of Jinlin University during January 2017 to November 2017. These samples included: 3 478 cases in Autoverification Establishment Group, including 288 cases for Delta check rules; 5 362 cases in Autoverification Validation Group, including 2 494 cases for Delta check; 25 789 cases in Clinical Application Trial Group. All these samples were analyzed for blood routine tests using Sysmex XN series automatic blood analyzers.Blood smears, staining and microscopic examination were done for each sample; then the clinical information, instrument parameters, test results and microscopic results were summarized; screening and determination of autoverification conditions including parameters and cutoff values were done using statistical analysis. The autoverification rules were input into Sysmex Laboman software and undergone stage Ⅰ validation using simulated data, and stage Ⅱ validation for post-analytical samples successively. True negative, false negative, true positive, false positive, autoverification pass rate and passing accuracy were calculated. Autoverification rules were applied to autoverification blood routine results and missed detection rates were validated, and also data of autoverification pass rate and TAT were obtained. Results: (1)The selected autoverification conditions and cutoff values included 43 rules involving WBC, RBC, PLT, Delta check and abnormal characteristics. (2)Validation of 3 190 cases in Autoverification Establishment Group showed the false negative rate was 1.94%(62/3 190)(P<0.001), autoverification pass rate was 76.74%, passing accuracy was 97.47%; Validation of 2 868 cases in Autoverification Validation Group, the false negative rate was 3.38%(97/2 868)(P=0.002), autoverification pass rate was 42.26%, passing accuracy was 92.00%; Validation of Delta check on 288 cases in Autoverification Establishment Group and 2 494 cases in Autoverification Validation Group showed the false negative rates were respectively 1.39% and 2.61%(P<0.001). (3)Three hospitals adopted these rules of autoverification for 25 789 blood routine samples, and found that the average TAT of blood routine test reports were shortened by 24min, 32min and 7min respectively, the rate of samples reported within 30min were elevated by 33%, 53% and 7%. The autoverification pass rates were 72%-74%. Conclusions The application of this set of 43 autoverification rules in blood sample analysis can ensure test quality while shortenTAT and improve work efficiency. It is worth pointing out that for the same analytical systems in this research, validation is necessary before application of this set of rules, and periodic validation is required during application to make necessary adjustment; for different analytical systems, as this research provide a way to establish autoverification rules for blood routine tests.Clinical labs may establish their own suitable autoverification rules on the basis of technological parameters.

Objective:To evaluate the performance of an artificial intelligent (AI)-based automated digital cell morphology analyzer (hereinafter referred as AI morphology analyzer) in detecting peripheral white blood cells (WBCs).Methods:A multi-center study. 1. A total of 3010 venous blood samples were collected from 11 tertiary hospitals nationwide, and 14 types of WBCs were analyzed with the AI morphology analyzers. The pre-classification results were compared with the post-classification results reviewed by senior morphological experts in evaluate the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and agreement of the AI morphology analyzers on the WBC pre-classification. 2. 400 blood samples (no less than 50% of the samples with abnormal WBCs after pre-classification and manual review) were selected from 3 010 samples, and the morphologists conducted manual microscopic examinations to differentiate different types of WBCs. The correlation between the post-classification and the manual microscopic examination results was analyzed. 3. Blood samples of patients diagnosed with lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myeloproliferative neoplasms were selected from the 3 010 blood samples. The performance of the AI morphology analyzers in these five hematological malignancies was evaluated by comparing the pre-classification and post-classification results. Cohen′s kappa test was used to analyze the consistency of WBC pre-classification and expert audit results, and Passing-Bablock regression analysis was used for comparison test, and accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and agreement were calculated according to the formula.Results:1. AI morphology analyzers can pre-classify 14 types of WBCs and nucleated red blood cells. Compared with the post-classification results reviewed by senior morphological experts, the pre-classification accuracy of total WBCs reached 97.97%, of which the pre-classification accuracies of normal WBCs and abnormal WBCs were more than 96% and 87%, respectively. 2. The post-classification results reviewed by senior morphological experts correlated well with the manual differential results for all types of WBCs and nucleated red blood cells (neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, basophils, immature granulocytes, blast cells, nucleated erythrocytes and malignant cells r>0.90 respectively, reactive lymphocytes r=0.85). With reference, the positive smear of abnormal cell types defined by The International Consensus Group for Hematology, the AI morphology analyzer has the similar screening ability for abnormal WBC samples as the manual microscopic examination. 3. For the blood samples with malignant hematologic diseases, the AI morphology analyzers showed accuracies higher than 84% on blast cells pre-classification, and the sensitivities were higher than 94%. In acute myeloid leukemia, the sensitivity of abnormal promyelocytes pre-classification exceeded 95%. Conclusion:The AI morphology analyzer showed high pre-classification accuracies and sensitivities on all types of leukocytes in peripheral blood when comparing with the post-classification results reviewed by experts. The post-classification results also showed a good correlation with the manual differential results. The AI morphology analyzer provides an efficient adjunctive white blood cell detection method for screening malignant hematological diseases.
