Objective To explore the relationship between the posterior circulation ischemia(PCI) and vertebrobasilar artery lesion.Methods 57 patients with PCI(PCI group) were examined by DCE-MRA for their craniocervical artery,and the results were compared with the stroke inpatients but non-PCI during the same period(non-PCI group).Results The abnormal rate of vertebrobasilar artery in PCI group(70.2%)was significantly higher than that in non-PCI group(50.7%)(P

OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of different disinfectants on results of antibiotics skin test,and to improve the accuracy of the judgment results of antibiotics skin test. METHODS:1 500 patients undergoing antibiotics skin test of penicillin and cephalosporin were randomly divided into group A and group B with 750 patients in each group. Group A was given 75% etha-nol disinfection,and group B was given iodine disinfection. The incidence of false positive results were compared after disinfected with 2 kinds of disinfectants. RESULTS:The incidence of false positive result in group B was lower than in group A,with statisti-cally significant difference (χ2=10.004,P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For skin disinfection of antibiotics skin test,iodine is better and safer than 75%ethanol.

Objective To observe clinical effect of hyperoxia solution in the treatment of acute cerebral infarction(ACI).Methods 218 cases of ACI were divided randamly into hyperoxia solution therapy group(group H,n=116)and conventional therapy group(group C,n=102).500 ml hyperoxia solution were intravenously dripped in group H once per day,and the other conventional therapy were the same in two groups.The course of treatment for the two groups were 20 days.Results After treatment,the general effective rate of group H(84.4%)was significantly higher than that of group C(72.54%)(P

Objective Investigate the efficacy of Plaix and Aspirine on treating the patients with progressive cerebral infarction.Methods 92 patients with progressive cerebral infarction were randomly divided into unite therapy group(n=46) and control groups(n=46).Two groups were taken the conventional therapy.In the patients of unite therapy group,oral Plaix 75 mg and Aspirine 150 mg per day,control group oral Aspirine 150 mg per day.Clinical neural deficiency score(NDS) was given before and 30 d after treatment for comparison and measur blood solidifying function and Heraorheological indexes.Results Total effective rate in the unite therapy group(93%)was significant higher than that in the control group(74%)(P

Objective To investigate the effect of levosimendan on pulmonary artery pressure in patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing mitral valve replacement.Methods Twenty-four ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ and NY-HA class Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 35-60 yr,with mean pulmonary artery pressure (MPAP) ＞ 30 mm Hg,undergoing mitral valve replacement were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =12 each):control group (group C) and levosimendan group (group L).In group L,a loading dose of levosimendan 24 μg/kg was injected intravenously after aortic unclamping,followed by infusion of levosimendan at a rate of 0.2 μg· kg-1 · min-1 until 1 d after operation.Group C received the equal volume of normal saline.HR,MAP,MPAP,pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (PCWP),cardiac index (CI) were recorded at 5 min after induction (T0),at the end of CPB (T1) and at 1 h after operation (T2),and the pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and rate-pressure product (RPP) were calculated.The improvement in pulmonary hypertension was recorded.Results PCWP was significantly lower and CI higher at T1,2 in both groups,and HR was significantly higher at T1,2 and MPAP lower at T2 in group C,and MPAP and PVR were significantly lower at T1,2 in group L than at T0 (P ＜ 0.05).HR,MPAP and PVR were significantly lower and CI was significantly higher at T1,2,RPP was significantly lower at T2 and the improvement in pulmonary hypertension was higher in group L than in group C (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Levosimendan can improve pulmonary hypertension without increasing the myocardial oxygen consumption and with a significant increase in myocardial contractility in patients with pulmonary hypertension undergoing mitral valve replacement.

Objective To evaluate the effect of mechanical stretch preconditioning on pathological stretch-induced activation of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) signaling pathway in human type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (AEC Ⅱ).Methods AEC Ⅱ cell line (A549 cells) culturedin vitro were divided into control group (group C), pathological stretch group (group P1) and mechanical stretch preconditioning group (group P2). In group C, A549 cells were cultured routinely. In group P1, A549 cells were exposed to 20% cyclic stretch for 6 hours. In group P2, A549 cells were exposed to 5% cyclic stretch for 60 minutes, and then exposed to 20% cyclic stretch for 6 hours. The cells were harvested for determination of the cell viability by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium assay, lactate dehydrogeuase (LDH) release was determined by colorimetric method, the levels of interleukin (IL-1β and IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), the mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α were determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), and the protein expressions of glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) and γ-aminobutyric acid A receptor (GABAAR) were determined by Western Blot.Results Compared with group C, the cell viability of group P1 was significantlydecreased (A value: 0.196± 0.071 vs. 0.886±0.107), the release rate of LDH was significantly increased [(12.3±2.4)% vs. (1.9±0.5)%]; the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in cell culture medium were significantly increased [IL-1β (ng/L): 138.6±19.7 vs. 32.7±7.4, IL-6 (ng/L): 196.5±31.7 vs. 55.4±13.8, TNF-α (ng/L): 111.3±21.8 vs. 20.8±7.6; IL-1β mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 2.79±0.44 vs. 0.83±0.12, IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 1.99±0.25 vs. 0.56±0.11, TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 2.54±0.37 vs. 0.72±0.09]; the protein expressions of GAD and GABAAR were significantly decreased [GAD (gray value): 0.38±0.12 vs. 1.75±0.45, GABAAR (gray value): 0.29±0.09 vs. 1.68±0.39; allP < 0.05]. Compared with group P1, the cell viability of group P2 was significantly increased (A value: 0.523±0.132 vs. 0.196±0.071),the release rate of LDH was significantly decreased [(6.9±1.7)% vs. (12.3±2.4)%]; the contents and mRNA expressions of IL-1β, IL-6 and TNF-α in cell culture medium were significantly decreased [IL-1β (ng/L): 79.2±11.6 vs. 138.6±19.7, IL-6 (ng/L): 89.6±15.6 vs. 196.5±31.7, TNF-α (ng/L): 55.9±11.4 vs. 111.3±21.8; IL-1β mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 1.92±0.36 vs. 2.79±0.44, IL-6 mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 1.09±0.18 vs. 1.99±0.25, TNF-α mRNA (2-ΔΔCT): 1.77±0.25 vs. 2.54±0.37]; the protein expressions of GAD and GABAAR were significantly increased [GAD (gray value): 1.26±0.33 vs. 0.38±0.12, GABAAR (gray value): 1.04±0.15 vs. 0.29±0.09; allP < 0.05]. Conclusion The mechanism by which mechanical stretch preconditioning attenuates pathological stretch-induced injury in human AECⅡ is related to the activation of GABA signaling pathway.
