Objective To study the influence of continuous blood purification(CBP)on the intra-abdomi-nal pressure (IAP ) and the gastrointestinal dysfunction of intra -abdominal hypertension (IAH ).Methods 80 patients with IAH were selected and divided into observation group and control group(n=40)according to random number table method.The observation group was given 3d CBP therapy.The control group was given conventional treatment.The mean arterial pressure (MAP ),IAP and abdominal perfusion pressure (APP ) were detected.The number of gastrointestinal symptoms was observed,sequential organ failure score(SOFA score)was used to assess the organ function of the two groups before and after treatment.Results The MAP,IAP,APP,SOFA score of the two groups before treatment had no statistically significant differences(P>0.05).The MAP of the two groups after treat-ment[(88.46 ±8.93)mmHg vs.(87.76 ±8.04)mmHg]had no statistically significant difference(P>0.05).The IAP[(9.02 ±1.06)mmHg]and SOFA score[(1.32 ±0.45)]of the observation group after treatment were signifi-cantly lower,the APP [(85.34 ±7.59)mmHg]was obviously higher than before treatment and the control group [(19.54 ±4.23)mmHg,(5.24 ±2.05)points,(70.76 ±6.43)mmHg],the differences were statistically significant (t=3.575,2.855,3.274,3.563,3.114,3.782,all P<0.05).Before treatment,the number of the gastrointestinal symptoms of the two groups[(44.56 ±8.53)times vs.(45.32 ±8.21)times]had no statistically significant difference (P>0.05).The number of gastrointestinal symptoms of the observation group after treatment [(6.54 ±2.24)times] was obviously lower than before treatment and the control group [(15.45 ±4.43)times],the difference was statisti-cally significant(t =3.022,P<0.05 ).The 30 d and 60 d survival rates of the observation group were 87.5%(35/40)and 65%(26/40),which of the control group were 80.0%(32/40)and 55%(22/40),although which of the observation group were higher than the control group,but there were no statistically significant differences(P>0.05 ).Conclusion CBP could significantly reduce the IPA of the patients with IAH,raise the APP,improve gastro-intestinal perfusion,reduce gastrointestinal symptoms,has positive significance to improve the gastrointestinal dysfunction.

ObjectiveTo investigate the cytotoxicity and gene transfection mediated by NMPCS/DNA nanoparticles.MethodsN-methylene phosphonic chitosan (NMPCS) was synthesized using one-step reaction under homogeneous conditions.The NMPCS/DNA nanoparticles were prepared using complex coacervation method.The cytotoxicity of NMPCS alone and its complexes with plasmid DNA were determined by MTT assay on HeLa cells.The gene transfection mediated by NMPCS/DNA nanoparticles were investigated using pGL3control vector as reporter gene.ResultsThe MTT results suggested that the NMPCS and NMPCS/DNA complexes showed significantly lower cytotoxicity than PEI and PEI/DNA complexes,respectively.The gene transfection mediated by NMPCS/DNA nanoparticles were greatly improved compared with unmodified chitosan.ConclusionNMPCS would demonstrate great potential as a novel,safe,efficient non-viral vector for gene delivery.
