Objective To observe the effects of mechanical ventilation with different tidal volumes (Vt) on the pulmonary surfactant in dogs during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and discuss the strategy of mechanical ventilation for CPR.Methods A total of 24 healthy,adult and mongrel canines were randomly (random number) divided into three groups,namely control group (A),low Vt group (B) and high Vt group (C).Canines without ventricular fibrillation in group A were not supported with mechanical ventilation,while canines in group B and group C were induced to get ventricular fibrillation (VF) with pacing catheter inserted through right external carotid vein into the right ventricle.CPR was initiated with mechanical ventilation with different Vt for 6 hours after ventricular fibrillation.The Vt set in group B was 6 ml/kg body weight and Vt set in group C was 20 ml/kg body weight.The arterial blood gas analyses were tested in different intervals.The levels of phosphatidylchline in bronchia alveolus lavage fluid (BALF) was assayed with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The ratio of wet and dry weight and the morphological change scores of lung tissue were calculated.Results After ventricular fibrillation,pH,PaO2 in both groups B and C decreased and PaCO2 increased in comparison with those before VF (P ＜ 0.05),while pH,PaO2 and PaCO2 were improved after mechanical ventilation.These was statistical difference in PaCO2 between group B and group C 2 h after mechanical ventilation (P ＜ 0.05).There was difference in HCO3-between group B and group C 6 h after ROSC.The rate of successful restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and the 72 h survival rate were 75％ and 50％ respectively in group B,and 62.5％ and 40％ respectively in group C.There were no statistically different between two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of phosphatidylchline in BALF of group B and C greatly decreased compared with the group A (All P ＜0.01),while phosphatidylcholine detected in the group C decreased much more than that in the group B (P ＜0.01).The W/D ratio and morphological change scores in the group C were higher than those in the group B (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Low tidal volume ventilation can reduce the loss of pulmonary surfactant and mitigate pulmonary injury.Therefore it may be a protective ventilation strategy after resuscitation.

Objective To evaluate the usefulness of contrast enhanced ultrasound in the diagnosis of breast lesions. Methods Contrast enhanced ultrasound was performed after administration of SonoVue in 104 patients scheduled for surgical tumor removal. The enhancement morphology was classified as non, peripheral,homogeneous,regional,or heterogeneous enhancement based on distribution of enhancing areas. All breast lesions enhancement morphology were analyzed, and the diagnostic value of contrast enhanced ultrasound was calculated. Results The prevalence of non enhancement was significantly higher in benign lesions than in malignant ones(P = 0.013),and the prevalence of peripheral enhancement was significantly higher in malignant lesions than in benign ones (P = 6.02 × 10-7). Conclusions Contrast enhanced ultrasound is useful in diagnosis of breast lesions.

BACKGROUND: Human acellular amniotic membrane is a kind of extracellular matrix material with good biocompatibility and biological activity. It has been widely used in various clinical studies because of its low immunogenicity, small rejection and easy preparation.OBJECTIVE: To review the applications of human acellular amniotic membranes in tissue engineering field, such as skin, blood vessel, cornea, cartilage and bone.METHODS: CNKI (from January 2005 to May 2017), CBMdisc (from January 2005 to May 2017), PubMed (from January 1990 to May 2017) and Elsevier (from January 1990 to May 2017) were retrieved for articles addressing the application of human acellular amniotic membrane as a tissue-engineered scaffold in the bone, cartilage, skin, and blood vessels.The keywords were acelluar amniotic membrane, scaffold, material, tissue engineering ECM in Chinese and English, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human acellular amniotic membrane owns the structure and function of the natural extracellular matrix, which can be combined with stem cells from different sources to differentiate into different tissues and organs, such as bone, cartilage, skin, blood vessel, and corneal tissues. As a tissue-engineered scaffold, human acellular amniotic membrane has good biocompatibility, biodegradability and low immunogenicity, although it has some shortcomings, such as poor strength and post-transplantation rejection reactions. Therefore, the future studies are mainly focused on shortening the adhesion time between cells and scaffolds, increasing the own mechanical strength of human acellular amniotic membrane, optimizing the cell growth microenvironment, and combining human acellular amniotic membrane with other tissue-engineered scaffolds.

Objective: To study the immunologic protection of selenium on gastric mucosal lesions of BALB/C mice infected by Helicobacter pylori (HP). Method:The model was built by ig HP in BALB/C mice and then effects of selenium on gastric mucosal lesions and the CD4、CD8 cells were observed.HP was examined by both of bacterial culture and rapid usease test (RUT). Results:1.0 ?g/g bw selenium could effectively prevent gastric mucosal damages induced by HP. HP could decreased the ratio of CD4 to CD8,but selenium could enhance the activity of CD4 cell and increase the ratio. Conclusion: Se can effectively prevent the gastric mucosal damages of mice infected by HP. One of the mechanisms is that Se can enhance the CD4 activity and increase CD4 /CD8.

A high performance liquid chromatography method based on amino column to uncover the glycosyls of aroma glycosides in Meili grape was established.Meili grapes were sampled from Yangling, Shaanxi province, China.Aroma glycosides in grape skins were extracted by extraction buffer (0.1 mol/L Na2HPO4/NaH2PO4, pH 7.0, 13% ethanol (V/V)), then enzymatically hydrolysed by AR2000 enzyme preparation in citrate-phosphate buffer (pH 5.0), and the glycosyls liberated were isolated by amino column, and determined by high performance liquid chromatography-refractive index detector (HPLC-RID).The HPLC-RID experimental conditions were developed as follows: amino column temperature 35℃, RID temperature 35℃, injection volume 20 μL, mobile phase acetonitrile/ethyl acetate/water=60∶25∶15 (V/V), flow rate 1 mL/min.The results showed that the reasonable linearity was achieved for rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, apiose and glucose (R2>0.996), with the detection limit (LOD) of 93-123 mg/L and quantitation limit (LOQ) of 309-409 mg/L.The relative standard deviation (RSD, n=10) of the peaks of each monosaccharide (5 g/L) was 2.3%-6.4%, and the recoveries ranged from 73.8% to 125.7%.The molar percentages of the aroma glycosides in Meili grape were 4.1%-6.1% for 6-O-α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, 2.3%-8.8% for 6-O-β-D-xylopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, 0.1%-3.9% for 6-O-α-L-arabinofuranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, 5.5%-9.8% for 6-O-α-L-apiofuranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside, and 76.3%-86.8% for 6-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-β-D-glucopyranoside.The contents of each aroma glycoside and the total glycosides in Meili grape didn′t show obvious relationship with berry maturity index during grape maturity.

Objective To assess the deep inferior epigastric perforator (DIEP) vessels in patients with breast reconstruction flaps by contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) and three-dimensional ultrasound (3DUS) reconstruction techniques.Methods Conventional ultrasound,CEUS and 3DUS were used to evaluate DIEP vessels of breast reconstruction flaps in 43 patients before surgical procedures.The identification,localization and spatial relationship of DIEP vessels were analyzed with conventional ultrasound,CEUS and 3DUS methods.The findings of CEUS and 3DUS were compared to conventional ultrasound and surgical outcome.Results Compared to CDFI,40 cases (93％) were observed more clearly with CEUS,and were showed more accurately than conventional ultrasound.41 cases (95％) could be displayed wonderfully in 3D ultrasound.Perforators which were detected by ultrasound were confirmed in the surgery and the transferred flaps survived completely.Conclusions Perforators can be displayed more clearly and located more accurately by CEUS and 3DUS.CEUS and 3DUS could play a very important role in the preoperative navigation of the DIEP than conventional ultrasound.

Objective To evaluate and demonstrate ultrasonographic characteristics of mandibular ameloblastoma with active proliferation. Methods Nineteen subjects with ameloblastomas in the mandibles were examined with ultrasonography. In addition to sizes,internal echoes,the research was focused on blood flow of the tumors and destruction of mandibles. Ultrasonographic appearances of the tumors were compared with histopathological findings. Sensitivity and specificity of Doppler flow signals and destruction of mandibles for prediction of active tumor proliferations were calculated. Results Fifteen cases (79%)showed no or minimal flow signals on color Doppler flow imaging(CDFI), whereas the remaining 4 lesions demonstrated abundant flow signals,in which 3 cases were confirmed histopathologically with active tumor proliferations. The sensitivity and specificity of the Doppler flow signals for prediction of active tumor proliferations were 100% and 94%, respectively. Fourteen cases (74%) showed the mandibular cortices were thin but continuous,among the remaining 5 lesions showed local cortices destruction,3 of them were confirmed histopathologically with active proliferations. The sensitivity and specificity of the destruction of cortical bone for prediction of active tumor proliferations were 100% and 88 %, respectively. Conclusions Ultrasonography can be used as a new effective supplementary diagnostic method for mandibular ameloblastomas. CDFI of tumor vascularity and destruction of cortical bone could be used to predict active tumor proliferations and invasiveness.
