Chinese Medical Equipment Journal 2017;38(6):109-111
Objective To explore the correlation difference between dynamic and routine electrocardiogram when used to diagnose asymptomatic myocardial ischemia.Methods Totally 92 coronary disease patients confirmed clinically from April 2014 to May 2016 were divided equally and randomly into an observation group and a control group.The patients in the control group underwent conventional ECG examination,and the ones in the observation group went through 24 h 12-lead dynamic ECG examination.The positive rates of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia were compared in the two groups,and the onset time and the patient state at that moment were analyzed in the observation group,Results The positive rates in the control group and observation group were 47.83% and 84.78% respectively,and there was significant difference between them (P<0.05).The onset time was restrained within 6:00 and 12:00,when the patient was in the state of manual labor,brain work or excitement.Conclusion 24 h 12-lead dynamic ECG gains advantages in early and timely diagnosis of asymptomatic myocardial ischemia,and thus is worthy promoting clinically.
2.The enhancement of the renal cortex and medulla and the renal function: a correlative study of conventional CT scan with glomerular filtration rate
Chinese Journal of Radiology 2010;44(9):958-962
Objective To study the relationship between the enhancement of renal cortex and medulla during the conventional CT scans with and without contrast enhancement and the renal glornerular filtration rate (GFR). Methods Thirty five cases with unilateral posternal obstructive hydronephrosis According to GFR, the 70 kidneys were divided into 4 groups: normal, slightly impaired, moderately impaired and severely impaired. In the cortical phase of enhanced CT scan, the enhancing intensity of the renal cortex and medullar was measured and following measures were calculated: CTce - CTcp, CTmc -CTmp,ratio of enhancement of affected and unaffected renal cortex and medullar, and the ratio of those of each case: CTac/CTnc, CTam/CTum, CTac/CTam, CTnc/CTnm, (CTac/CTam) / (CTuc/CTum). The differences of these measures in different groups were analyzed with one-way ANOVA and their correlation with GFR was studied with Pearson test. The best indicator to reflect enhancement of renal cortex was selected from these measures, and all the kidneys were divided into 4 groups accordingly: strong, less strong, medium and weak. Then its consistency with GFR groups were calculated. Result (1) The differences of CTce - CTcp ( 154. 98 ± 28. 70 ), ( 122.67 ± 39. 32 ), ( 81.30 ± 32.94 ) and ( 57.60 ±23.49) HU respectively, CTac/CTuc 0. 97 ±0. 09, 0. 79 ±0. 18, 0. 64 ±0. 24 and 0. 51 ±0. 13 respectively,CTam/CTum 0. 98 ±0. 26, 0. 89 ±0. 18, 0. 86 ±0. 31 and 0. 75 ±0. 28 respectively, CTam/CTum 2. 76 ±0. 35,2. 35 ± 0. 79, 1. 83 ± 0. 68 and 1.73 ± 0. 28 respectively, CTac/CTam and ( CTac/CTam)/( CTuc/CTum) 1.00 ±0. 28,0. 89 ±0. 34, 0. 75 ±0. 17 and 0. 69 ±0. 14 respectively of different GFR groups were evident( P < 0. 05 ) . ( 2 ) Positive correlation was found between GFR and CTce-CTcp ( r = 0. 887, P <0. 01 ), CTac/CTuc ( r = 0. 872, P < 0. 01 ), CTam/CTum ( r = 0. 504, P < 0. 01 ), CTac/CTam ( r =0. 772, P < 0. 01 ), (CTac/CTam) / (CTuc/CTum) ( r = 0. 663, P < 0. 01 ). ( 3 ) Selecting CTac/CTam to reflect enhancement of renal cortex, the diseased kidneys can be divided into groups of strong ( CTac/CTam ≥2. 60); less strong (2. 20 ≤CTac/CTam <2. 60); medium ( 1.80 ≤CTac/CTam <2. 20); and weak ( CTac/CTam < 1. 80). The consistency with GFR grouping was 80. 0%. Conclusions There is significant correlation between renal cortex-related indicators and GFR, especially CTac/CTam, which can be used as the indicator of renal function in patients with unilateral or bilateral postrenal obstructive hydronephrosis. The conventional contrast enhanced CT scan can be taken as a semi-quantitative method of GFR measuring with relative low X-ray dosage compared with CT perfusion.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(5):355-357
Objective To explore the clinical application of two different fixation methods for nasal continuous positive airway pressure (NCPAP) in newborns. Methods One hundred and forty newborns who had NCPAP treatment were selected and divided into experimental group and control group with 70 cases in each group by random digits table method.The newborns in experimental group received self- made caps to fix the prong systems,while the newborns in control group received U shape towel. The incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury, frequency of detachment for nasal prongs and duration mechanical ventilation were compared between two groups. Results The frequency of detachment for nasal prongs per 24 h was (0.65±0.18) times in experimental group and (1.64±0.22) times in control group, and there was significant difference (t=28.68, P<0.01). The incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury were 8.6%(6/70), 2.9%(2/70) in experimental group and 27.1%(19/70), 14.3%(10/70) in control group,and there were significant differences ( χ2 =8.23, 5.83, P<0.01 or 0.05). There was no significant difference in duration mechanical ventilation between two groups(P>0.05). Conclusions Use of the self- made caps for NCPAP in newborns is associated with significant reduction in the incidence of nose, head of facial skin injury,and the frequency of detachment for nasal prongs.The fixation should be prompted in clinic.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and related factors of mental disorder caused by brain injury in the judicial identiifcation of mental illness. Methods Forensic case data of brain injury ware collected and analized. Brain injury sverity was classied into 3 groups, namely severe group(group A); moderate group (group B) and mild group(group C) according to neurosurgery GCS scores; clinical characteristics were analyzed, diagnosis were made against the Chinese Classiifcation of Mental Disorders (the 3rd ed.) (CCMD-3). Relationship between the clinical characteristics and brain damage severity was analyzed. Results Organic neurosis-like syndromes are the main manifestation of mental disorders caused by mild and moderate brain injuries. Organic intellectual deifciency is the main manifestation of mental disorders due to severe brain injury. The difference between the three groups was significant (P ≤ 0.01). Conclusion Different clinical features are related to different brain injury severities in the forensic evaluation of mental disability.

BACKGROUND:Studies have shown that the main functions of mesenchymal stem cels include direct participation in wound healing, growth factor secretion, promoting angiogenesis, immune regulation and inflammation, anti-oxidative stress, which can be used to treat a variety of acute and chronic diseases. OBJECTIVE:To review advances in mesenchymal stem cels in the inflammatory immunomodulation. METHODS: A computer-based search of Wanfang, CNKI and PubMed databases was performed for articles concerning advances in mesenchymal stem cels in the inflammatory immunomodulation published from January 2005 to August 2015. The search terms were “stem cels, mesenchymal stem cels, immune regulation, inflammation, immune cels, inflammatory factors, treatment” in Chinese and English, respectively. Finaly, 40 articles were included in result analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Because of their immunomodulation and muti-directional differentiation, mesenchymal stem cels garner increasing attentions. In addition, mesenchymal stem cels can be harvested from different tissues and have goodin vitroamplification capability, which have a broad prospect in the clinical use, including tissue repair and anti-inflammation. As the most promising cels used clinicaly, mesenchymal stem cels show their superiority in the treatment of many diseases, especialy in inflammations induced by immune modulation imbalance. We believe that mesenchymal stem cels wil play an important role in the future cel biotherapy.

Along with contemporary development of life support technology in perinatology and neo-natal intensive care,mortality of preterm infants has been reduced.However,the problems caused by the brain damage have been attracting more and more attention.The long-term outcome of prematures depends on their nervous system sequelae among the total complications.Preterm infants'brain damage mainly includes intravent-ricular hemorrhage(IVH)and periventricular leukomalacia(PVL).IVH and its complications are the main causes of early death,mental and physical developmental disorder of neonatals.Thus,the early diagnosis of brain dam-age,especially PVL,has become a serious problem that we are going to face.The scholars in or aboard hao payed close attention to these markers,such as MBP、S100B、ACT A、NF-L、NGB、MMP、IL-6、IL-10、IL-1 1 、NSE.The paper reviews these biological markers.
