Objective To investigate the effects of aerosolized Dexamethsone inhalation on circulatory and respiratory function during lung injury (ALI) induced by hydrochloric acid (HCI) aspiration.Methods Twenty-four healthy pigs of either sex,weighting (15.5±2) kg were anesthetized with intraperitoneal injection of pentobarbital sodium 50mg/kg and intubated and mechanically ventilated (FiO2=1.0,VT=10-15 ml/kg,RR=16bpm,I:E=1:2).Anesthesia was maintained with infusion of Ketamine,procaine and succinylcholine.Femoral artery was cannulated for MAP monitoring and blood sampling.Swan-Ganz catheter was placed in the pulmonary artery via right inexternal jugular vein.Dilute HC1 (0.1mol/L) was instilled via trachea into lungs until PaO2 was＜13.3kPa.Arterial blood gases,MAP,MPAP and dynamic compliance were measured before induction of ALl (T0),when ALI was induced (T1) and 1,2,3 and 4(T2～5)there after.The pigs were then divided randomly into three groups according to the treatment they received:group A received IPPV alone,group B IPPV+PEEP(0.69kPa) ,group C IPPV+PEEP(0.69kPa)+aerosolized Dexamethasone (12.5ugokg-loh-I).Results MAP decreased significantly after induction of ALI in three groups hut there was no significant difference in MAP among the three groups (P＞0.05).MPAP increased significantly after induction of ALI in all groups and remained high during the period of T2～5 in group A and B (P＞0.05),hut decreased significantly from T2 in group C (P＜0.05 ).PaO2 increased significantly during the treatment in group B、C(P＜0.05),and was significantly higher in group C than that in group B (P＜0.05).PaCO2 in group A was highest in three groups (P＜0.05) and group C was lower in three groups (P＜0.05).Dynamic lung compliance decreased in all animals after induction of lung injury (P＞0.05),but was gradually increasing significantly during treatment(B、C group) (P＜0.05).Conclusion Aerosolized Dexamethasone inhalation can improve respiratory function during ALI induced by HC1 aspiration and reduce pulmonary hypertension,but dont impair MAP.Both have the same effects on the treatment of lung injuries.

Objective To investigate the association between the gastroesophageal reflux and functional bowel disorder.Methods 168 patients with epigastric symptomswere involved in the survey.A validate questionnaire on gastroesophageal reflux symptoms was performed by the physician.There were 68 patients in the Sc≥12 group and 100 patients in the Sc

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a psychiatric condition that can occur in anyone who has experienced a life-threatening or violent event.Research into the underlying neurobiology has implicated dysregulation in multiple neurotransmitter systems including norepinephrine,serotonin and glutamate as well as the hypothalamic-pituitary axis.Although there was a tremendous growth in the understanding of PTSD in the past few years,the specific neurobiological underpinnings of PTSD wait for more explorations.

Objective:Try to study the effect of short-term psycho-intervention on mental status,medical coping mode,social supports and mood states in patients with maintance hemodialysis(MHD).Methods:61 MHD patients from Nol Wuhan Hospital were divided into intervention group and control group.The short-term psycho-intervention included healthy education,supportivc psychotherapy,circumstance therapy and education to patient's relatives.All patients' social psychology status were assessed at baseline and end of intervention by three questionnaires,such as Medical Coping Mode Questionnaire (MCMQ),Social Support Ouestionnaire and Profile of Mood States.Results:After intervention,most psychology indexes of intervention group improved. Acceptance-Resignation score decreased from 12.5?3.7 to 9.3?2.5,avoidance score decreased from 16.5?2.9 to 14.4?2.7,subjective support score increased from 16.2?5.6 to 21.6?5.1,support using score increased from 6.4? 2.3 to 8.8?2.8,Total support score increased from 32.5?8.1 to 38.9?6.7.Tension-Anxiety score decreased from 14.1?6.7 to 10.1?5.2,Depression-Dejection score decreased from 22.9?14.5 to 16.2?10.2, Anger-Hostility from 16.6?10.1 to 11.5?8.6,Confusion-Bewilderment decreased from 11.9?4.8 to 9.1?4.2,but Vigor-Activity increased from 10.3?6.2 to 15.1?5.4.There was no significant change in control group.Conclusion:Short-term psycho-intervention can improve medical copying mode,social support and mood states in MHD.

BACKGROUND: Induced response signal is blocked by the time of stimulation, showing some individual differences by special stimulation. Extracting induced response from magnetoencephalographic (MEG) data is important for understanding the function of human brain.OBJECTIVE: To apply independent component analysis (ICA) for overlapping multi-channel MEG signals so as to put forward a simple and effective method to analyze MEG data.DESIGN: A single sample analysis.SETTING: Electronic Engineering Department and Brain Scientific Research Center, Fudan University.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was completed at Kansai Advanced Research Center of Japanese Communications Research Laboratory(CRL) in September 2002. One m ale healthy volunteer aged 23 years was selected from Tokyo Medical University of Japan, and other testees participated voluntarily.ed to process the 148-channel MEG data, especially for the extraction of eed independent components.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Results of MEG data with ICA method.set. Most of the signal energy could be compressed in the first 30 principal components. In other words, the artifacts and evoked activations were exartifacts were detected and isolated to independent component 1, and the bursts should be detected in components 2, 3, 7 and 9. Beta bursts (13-30voked activation was obviously concentrated in component 5, which appeared a periodical waveform in response to the auditory stimulus.CONCLUSION: Interference source is separated from multi-channel MEG signals with ICA, then purified MEG data can be obtained. According to ICA, it is possible for research on cerebral nervous action to provide a new method by separating alpha wave, beta wave, eye movement artifacts and blinking. The auditory evoked response was successfully extracted from the multi-channel MEG signals using ICA.
