Objective To study the application of 3％ hypertonic saline (HS) in patients with severe craniocerebral injury after operation.Methods Sixty-eight cases with severe craniocerebral injury after operation were divided by random digits table method into HS group and control group with 34 cases each.The patients in control group were treated with 125 ml 20％ mannitol every 6 hours or 8 hours.The patients in HS group were given conventional mannitol and added with 130 ml 3％ HS every 12 hours or 8 hours through fast intravenous drip altemated with mannitol.The levels of intracranial pressure (ICP),mean arterial pressure (MAP),central venous pressure (CVP) were recorded within 6 hours,12 hours,24 hours of the 1st day,24 hours of the 2nd day,24 hours of the 3rd day,24 hours of the 5th day.The Na+ level of blood serum and the plasma osmotic pressure were recorded and calculated within 12 hours,24 hours of the 1st day,24 hours of the 2nd day,24 hours of the 3rd day,24 hours of the 5th day.The Glasgow coma scale( CCS) score was accounted within 24 hours of the 1 st day,24 hours of the 3rd day,24 hours of the 5th day.Results Compared with control group,the level of ICP in HS group decreased at every time point (P ＜ 0.05).The tendency of ICP in two groups was not significant on the 1st and 2rid day (P ＞ 0.05 ),but the level of ICP within 24 hours of the 3rd and 5th day obviously increased compared with those of the 1st and 2nd day (P＜0.05).The levels of MAP and CVP in HS group were significantly higher than those in control group within 6 hours,12 hours and 24 hours of the 1 st day and 24 hours of the 2nd day [ ( 87.98 ± 5.03 ),(88.56 ± 5.36),(87.04 ±6.90),(90.03 ±5.19) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.(77.98 ±5.09),(79.98 ±6.09),(80.98 ± 5.27),(81.98 ± 4.32) mm Hg and (9.23 ± 1.24),(9.67 ± 1.35),( 10.21 ± 1.38 ),( 10.56 ± 1.96)mm Hg vs.(7.15 ± 2.01 ),(8.32 ± 1.53),(8.67 ± 1.89),(9.22 ± 2.03) mm Hg] (P ＜ 0.05),but the values within 24 hours of the 3rd and 5th day between two groups had no significant differences (P＞ 0.05 ).The Na+ level of blood serum and the plasma osmotic pressure in HS group at every time point was obviously higher than that in control group (P＜ 0.05).The GCS scores within 24 hours of the 1st,3rd and 5th day in HS group were (4.21 ± 2.31 ),(5.44 ± 2.46 ),(7.23 ± 1.64 ) scores,respectively,while the scores in control group were (4.14 ± 2.10),(5.15 ± 2.31 ),(7.31 ± 2.12) scores,respectively ;the score within 24 hours of the 5th day in two groups was obviously higher than that of the 1st day respectively (P＜ 0.05 ),but the scores between two groups had no statistical significance (P＞ 0.05 ).Conclusions Adding 3％ HS is more effective to decrease ICP,improve the brain perfusion and reduce the adverse reactions.3％ HS can be used as the first-line therapy for patients with severe craniocerebral injury after operation.

Objective To observe the effects of lung protective ventilation strategy (LPVS) on inflammatory mediators in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in pulmonary and extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods All of 62 extrapulmonary ARDS(ARDSexp) cases and 60 pulmonary ARDS (ARDSp) cases were divided into observation group and control group by table of random digit.ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were received LPVS treatment [tidal volume 6-8 ml/kg,positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5-15 cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa)],and ARDSexp and ARDSp control group were received the routine ventilation strategy (tidal volume 10-12 ml/kg,PEEP 4-8 cm H2O).All groups were treated with the same conventional therapy of ARDS,same model and parameter of mechanical ventilation.The level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interleukin (IL)-6,IL-8 in BALF were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay on the 1st,4th,7th day in each group.The oxygenation index was tested at 8 o'clock each morning.Results There were 4 ARDSexp cases and 6 ARDSp cases who were expelled,because of death within 7 days.ARDSexp observation group was in 28 cases,ARDSexp control group was in 30 cases,ARDSp observation group was in 28 cases,ARDSp control group was in 26 cases.The oxygenation index had no significant difference between ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group and corresponding ARDSexp and ARDSp control group on the 1st and 2nd day (P ＞ 0.05).But the oxygenation index in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were significantly higher than that in ARDSexp and ARDSp control group from 3rd to 7th day (P ＜ 0.05).The oxygenation index in ARDSexp observation group was significantly higher than that in ARDSp observation group except 1st day (P ＜0.05).The oxygenation index in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were significantly better with the time passing (P ＜ 0.05).The BALF levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were significantly lower than those in corresponding ARDSexp and ARDSp control group on the 4th and 7th day (P＜ 0.05).The BALF levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in ARDSexp observation group and ARDSexp control group were significantly lower than those in corresponding ARDSp observation group and ARDSp control group (P＜ 0.05).The BALF levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were decreased significantly with the time passing (P ＜0.05).Conclusion It is more reasonable to decrease the BALF levels of inflammatory mediators,increase oxygenation index for ARDS patients to with LPVS treatment,then for ARDSexp patients obviously.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of nedaplatin and cisplatin combined with docetaxel in the treatment of cervical cancer.Methods 80 patients with cervical cancer were selected as the research subjects.According to different chemotherapy regimens,they were divided into observation group(40 cases)and control group(40 cases).The observation group adopted nedaplatin combined with docetaxel chemotherapy regimen,while the control group used cisplatin plus docetaxel chemotherapy regimens.The clinical curative effect,adverse reaction of chemotherapy,hospitalization related indicators,etc were compared between the two groups.Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 85.0%,which of the control group was 77.5%,the difference was not statistically significant(x2=0.739,P=0.739).The incidence rate of gastrointestinal reaction(Ⅰ-Ⅳ)in the observation group was 25.0%,which was lower than 82.5% in the control group(x2=26.560,P=0.000).The incidence rate of renal toxicity(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)of the observation group was 2.5%,which was lower than 17.5% of the control group(x2=5.000,P=0.025).The length of hospital stay of the observation group was(2.93 ±0.39)days,which was shorter than(4.97 ±0.81)days of the control group(t=14.352,P=0.000).The incidence rate of bone marrow inhibition(grade Ⅰ-Ⅱ)of the observation group was 43.0%,which was significantly higher than 25.0% of the control group(x2=4.381,P=0.036).1 year overall survival(OS),no local recurrence rate(LRF)and no distant metastasis survival rate(DMF)between the two groups had no statistically significant differences(all P>0.05).Conclusion Efficacy of nedaplatin or cisplatin combined with docetaxel in adjuvant chemotherapy of cervical cancer has similar prognosis,nedaplatin has less toxicity,and can shorten the time of hospitalization,patients are more likely to accept,it is worthy of clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of NOS1AP rs12742393 A/C gene polymorphism on lipid-regulating re-sponse of rosuvastatin calcium. METHODS:Two hundred and tuirty six patients with coronary heart disease(CHD)were selected from cardiology department of our hospital during Jan. 2014-Jun. 2015,and then given rosuvastatin calcium and other symptomatic treatment for 12 weeks. Polymorphism of NOS1AP rs12742393 A/C was detected by PCR-RFLP. The levels of TG,TC,HDL-C and LDL-C were detected by photoelectric colorimetry before treatment and 4,12 weeks after treatment. The serum relationship of genotype with the level of blood lipid was analyzed. RESULTS:Among 236 CHD patients,there were 131 cases of AA genotype (55.5%),98 cases of AC genotype(41.5%) and 7 cases of CC genotype(3.0%);genotype and allele frequencies met the Har-dy-Weinberg balance(P>0.05). There were 132 patients with normal blood lipid and 104 patients with hypercholesterolemia;there was statistical significance in genotype and allele frequencies (P<0.05). Among 104 CHD patients with hypercholesterolemia be-fore treatment,there was no statistical significance in the levels of TG,TC,LDL-C and HDL-C between AA genotype and AC+CC genotype(P>0.05). 4th and 12th week after treatment,the levels of TG,TC and LDL-C in different genotypes were all de-creased significantly;4th week after treatment,the level of LDL-C in AC+CC genotype was significantly lower than AA genotype, and the change compared to before treatment was significantly more than AA genotype,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the level of HDL-C among different genotypes compared to before treatment;there was no statistical significance in the levels of TG,TC and HDL-C 4th,12th week after treatment and their changes compared to before treatment between AA genotype and AC+CC genotype;there was no statistical significance in the level of LDL-C 12th week after treatment and their changes between AA genotype and AC+CC genotype(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:NOS1AP rs12742393 A/C gene polymorphism is associated with CHD complicated with hypercholesterolemia;the C allele of NOS1AP rs12742393 may strengthen the response of CHD patients with hy-percholesterolemia to rosuvastatin calcium through influencing the level of LDL-C.

Objective By comparing the proliferation and the human telomerase reverse transcriptase expression of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients and normal human to explore the existence of BMSCs defects or variation in RA patients,and whether these cells could be used in autologous transplantation.Methods BMSCs were obtained from bone marrow of eight RA patients and healthy volunteers.The cells were isolated andcultured by gradient centrifugation and adherence cultivation,and the surface markers of BMSCs were identitfied by flow cytometertry.Firstly,BMSCs reproductive activity of the two groups were compared:the auxodrome and cell cycle of BMSCs were measured respectively,then the generation doubling time of cell colony and proliferation index were calculated in order to see whether there was a difference of the proliferation capability between the two groups.Furthermore,the hTERT were measured.Results BMSCs were no significant differences between morphology of RA patients and healthy control group.The cells were obtained proof MSCs by flow cytometry.The difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05),RA group and the healthy control group P3-generation cell population doubling time (4.7±0.3) d,(4.8±0.3) d.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01),P6 generation of healthy control group cell population has doubling time (5.7±0.4) d,RA group (6.3±0.3) d,buut the group RA BMSCs population doubling time is longer than the healthy control group.The difference was not statistically significant (P＞0.05),on one hand of the healthy control group P3 BMSCs proliferation index (17.9±2.1)％,on the other hand RA group is (16.9±2.1)％.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).P6-generation BMSCs proliferation index in healthy control group (10.7±1.8)％,RA group (6.2±2.2)％,RA group proliferation index than the control group.The difference was also significant (P＜0.01).The healthy control group P6 generation of MSCs hTERT expression was (10.6±1.5),RA group is (3.1±1.0),hTERT RA patients expression is lower compared with normal control group.Conclusion There is no significant difference in the proliferative capacity of the two groups at P3,but the BMSCs proliferation at P6 lags behind in the normal group in RA patients,which inferred that the senescences of the BMSCs of RA patients are earlier than healthy donors.The determination results of hTERT have shown that the difference between the two groups is statistically significant,and it proves that the premature aging may be associated with hTERT expression.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of methotrexate(MTX),cyclophosphamide(CTX)and MTX plus CTX in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis(RA).Methods In a randomized,single-blinded,controlled study,90 patients were randomly assigned to receive MTX(10～15 mg/w)or CTX(400 mg/2～3 w)or MTX plus CTX(MTX 10～15 mg/w+CTX 400 mg/2～3 w).The primary end point was the proportion of patients meeting the American College of Rheumatology 20% improvement criteria(achieving an ACR20 response,)at week 24.The secondary end points were responses of the ACR50 and ACR70 improvement criteria,and the European League Against Rheumatism(EULAR)response criteria.The change from baseline in duration of pain,patient's global assessment,physician's global assessment,tender joint count/index,swollen joint count/index,health assessment questionnaire(HAQ),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR)were also evaluated.The clinical efficacy and safety were analyzed at baseline,6,12 and 24 weeks respectively.Results The ACR response rate was significantly higher in the MTX plus CTX treatment group compared with MTX or CTX group at week 24.The MTX plus CTX group,MTX group and CTX group showed 81%,56% and 35% in ACR20,58%,41% and 12% in ACR50 and 19%,11% and 0 in ACR70,.respectively.At week 24,the proportion of patients achieving the EULAR moderate response in those who received combination treatment were significantly higher than those who received either MTX or CTX.The incidence of adverse events(AEs)was not significantly higher in MTX plus CTX group than MTX or CTX group.Conclusion MTX plus CTX effectively reduces the signs and symptoms of RA and is generally well tolerated by patients without significant increase in the rate of adverse events compared with monotherapy.

Objective To analyze the quality of life of patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its relationship with other clinical and functional parameters used for the evaluation of disease activity. Methods The quality of life was assessed in 127 patients with active RA using SF-36 and was compared with non-active RA and the general population. The correlation between the quality of life and the clinical measures of disease, including morning stiffness, pain, fatigue, patient's global assessment (PGA) physician's global assessment , SJC/SJ1, TJC/TJI, DAS28, HAQ were measured. Results The patients with active RA reported significantly decreased scores in all dimensions of SF-36. Fatigue, PGA, physician's global assess-ment, DAS28 and HAQ significantly correlated with the scores in all dimensions of SF-36. Pain was correlated with the scores in all dimensions of SF-36 except RE. TJI was correlated with six dimensions. TJC was correlated with five dimensions. ESR was correlated with three dimensions. Conclusion The quality of life in patients with active RA is significantly declined compared with non-active RA and the general population. Disease activity and functional status of patients with active RA is closely correlated with the quality of life.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and its relationship with other clinical and functional parameters used for the evaluation of disease activity and health related quality of life. Methods The fatigue was assessed in 230 patients with RA using visual analogue scale (VAS). The correlation between fatigue and the clinical disease activity including morning stiffness, pain, PGA, physician's global assessment, TJC, TJI, SJC, SJI, DAS28, HAQ and health-related quality of life were assessed. Results The prevalence of fatigue was 85.7% and the fatigue score of 51.7% patients was higher than 50 mm. After controlled for the possible confounding factors such as age, gender and disease duration, it was found that fatigue was highly correlated with pain, disease activity, functional disability, physical health and mental health. Conclusion Fatigue is an important symptom of RA and is correlated with pain, disease activity, functional disability and health-related quality of life.

Objective:To explore the etiology and treatment of one case of bilateral mandibular second molar impaction with paradental cyst, and to provide a reference for its diagnosis and treatment. Methods:Root canal treatment of the left mandibular first molar of the patient was performed before operation.The left mandibular second molar of the patient was removed;the residual dental follicle, the granulation tissue and the cyst wall were stroken off under local anesthesia.The diamond ball was used to polish the wound cavity and sharp bone edge, and to mill the distal apical part of left mandibular first molar.The tissue removed during the procedure was used for the pathological examination.Results:The X-ray image showed that the bilateral mandibular second molar was impacted with the left mandibular first molar root's absorption, and there was a clear round-like density reduction zone around the second molar crown.The pathologic result was paradental cyst.Conclusion:Dental impaction complicated with paradental cyst could occur in other tooth position except for the third molar.Its diagnosis should be combined with the clinical manifestations, the pathologic manifestations and the medical imaging.Multidisciplinary consultation is in favor of its diagnosis and treatment.

Aim To observe the effect of BAPTA-AM on extracellular acid-induced autophagy in rat articular chondrocytes and its possible mechanisms.Methods Rat articular chondrocytes were isolated from Sprague-Dawley rats and incubated with different pH medium. The states of autophagy were examined by acridine or-ange (AO ) staining .Moreover,the expressions of LC3 ,Beclin-1 ,ULK1 ,CaMKKβ,AMPK and mTOR were detected using Western blot or quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR ). Intracellular calcium ([Ca2+]i )was analyzed by a Ca2+-imaging method. Results Compared with pH 6.0 group,BAPTA-AM could significantly decrease the activation of autophagyinduced by acid exposure,and the expressions of autophagy markers including LC3 Ⅱ,Beclin1 and ULK1were also decreased,accompanied with reduced acidinduced [Ca2 +]i influx,decreased proteins expressionof CaMKKβand phosphorylatedAMPK,and increasedphosphorylation of mTOR.Conclusion BAPTAAMcan significantly restrain acidinduced autophagy in ratarticular chondrocytes,the mechanism of which may beassociated with decreased Ca2 + influx.
