Objective To investigate the adjuvant effect of intravenous immunoglobulin on patients with sepsis-associated thrombocytopenia. Methods A total of 229 patients with sepsis with platelet count less than 3 × 109/L, were included in this prospective, randomized, controlled study. The patients were divided into the intervening group and the control group. Conventional treatments were applied in the two both groups , while in the intervening group, intravenous immunoglobulin with a dose of 0.4 g/(kg·d) for 5 consecutive days was administered. The end-points were the platelet counts on day 1,day 3,day 5,and day 7 post-intravenous immunoglobulin, patients’ in-ICU time and the 28-day in-hospital mortality. Results Compared with the control group, the platelet count recovered dramatically after 5-day intravenous immunoglobulin in the intervening group. Moreover , the 28-day in-hospital mortality and in-ICU time were also dramatically improved in the intervening group. Conclusion Intravenous immunoglobulin can enhance the recovery of platelet counts , shorten the in-ICU time and reduce the hospital mortality in patients with sepsis- associated thrombocytopenia (PLT count < 30 × 109/L).

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of virtual bronchoscopic navigation (VBN) for peripheral pulmonary lesions. Methods 200 cases with peripheral pulmonary lesions (0.8 cm < diameter < 4.0 cm) were divided into VBN and control group from June 2014 to June 2015. VBN group: VBN guided ultrafine bronchoscope to the target bronchus, control group: ultrafine bronchoscopy with chest CT as a reference guided to the target bronchus. Results There were no significant differences in the diagnosis rates between VBN group and control group in 200 patients (χ2 = 3.31, P = 0.069); But, the diagnosis rates with diameter more than 2.0 cm and less than or equal to 2.0 cm had statistically significant differences of VBN group and control group (χ2 = 13.45, 5.31, P = 0.000, 0.021, respectively); We also found that the mean time of biopsy tool reach to the lesions had significant differences between the two groups (P = 0.047). There were no significant differences in total checking time and complications (P = 0.230, 0.960, respectively). Conclusions Virtual bronchoscopic navigation did not improve the diagnosis rate of pulmonary peripheral lesions, but shortened the time to locate the lesions.

Objective To investigate the prevalence,characteristics and risk factors of fatigue in a large cohort of subjects with early Parkinson's disease (PD).Methods A total of 391 individuals with PD,recruited in Linzhi trial,were re-screened.Early,non-depressed subjects [Center for epidcmiological survey depression scale (CES-D)<16]underwent further fatigue assessment.Subjects who scored>4 on fatigue severity scale (FSS) were classified as fatigue.Motor symptoms and PD severity were assessed using the unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn-Yahr scale.Other clinical measures,including sleep disorder by Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQ-Ⅰ),mental function by Alzheimer's Disease assessment scale-cognitive sections (ADAS-Cog) and quality of life by medical outcomes study short form 36 (SF- 36) were also evaluated.Results Among 204 subjects who completed fatigue measures,82 (40.2%) were classified as fatigue.The fatigue group had significantly more neurological impairment by higher scores on each subsets of UPDRS including mentation (P<0.05),activities of daily living (P<0.01) and motor (P<0.01),while the subjects with fatigue had worse scores on SF-36 (P<0.01).Multiple regression analyses showed that motor subset of UPDRS was the variable that had the predictive value for FSS score.The full model explained 6.4% of the variance of the FSSscore (β=0.039,95%CI:0.019-0.059).However,other factors,including levodopa dosage,PSQ-Ⅰ,and ADAS-Cog score did not significantly contribute to the model.Conclusions Fatigue is a frequent symptom in carly,non-depressed patients with PD,affecting over 40% of the patients in this cohort.The small correlation between fatigue and motor score,and the lack of association with dosage of dopaminergic treatment suggest that dopaminergic pathways might be only moderately involved in pathogenesis of fatigue.

Objective To investigate the effect of Rho kinase inhibitor,fasudil,on pulmonary fibrosis induced by paraquat in rats in order to elucidate the underlying mechanisms.Methods A total of 72 SpragueDawley male rats of specific pathogen free (SPF) were randomly (random number) divided into four groups:the normal control group (NS group,n =18),fasudil control group (FS control group,n =18),paraquat poisoning group (PQ poisoning group,n =18) and fasudil intervention group (FS intervention group,n =18).On days 7,14,28 after paraquat exposure,six rats were respectively selected from each group.These rats were anesthetized and sacrificed immediately,and their lung tissues were collected.The hydroxyproline (HYP) in the lung tissue was detected by using alkaline hydrolysis.The expressions of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and ROCK1 mRNA in Rho/ROCK signaling pathway were assayed by using the real-time quantitative PCR (RT-PCR),and the levels of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and Rho / ROCK signaling pathway ROCK1 protein were measured by using Western blotting.The pathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope.Results There were no significant differences in the observed biomarkers between FS control group and NS group (P > 0.05).While in PQ poisoning group and FS intervention group on days 7,14,28 (all P < 0.05),the amount of HYP increased obviously (P < 0.05),the expressions of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,CTGF,ROCK1 mRNA and protein levels were increased significantly (P < 0.05).Compared with the PQ poisoning group,the amount of HYP decreased significantly,and the expressions of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,CTGF,ROCK1 mRNA and protein levels were decreased significantly in FS intervention group on days 7,14,28 (all P < 0.05).The pathological changes of lung tissue revealed that the degree of pulmonary fibrosis in the PQ poisoning group were most serious on 28 d after paraquat exposure,and the degree of pulmonary fibrosis were lessened in FS intervention group on days 7,14,28.Conclusions ROCK inhibitor,fasudil,has obvious therapeutic effects on paraquat-induced lung fibrosis,by regulating Rho / ROCK signaling pathway with downregulated expression of CTGF,and decrease in the levels of type Ⅰ,Ⅲ collagen protein,thus reducing protein deposition.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of health related quality of life(HR-QOL) in Chinese patients with early Parkinson' s disease(PD), to identify the motor and non-motor factors that are associated with a poorer quality of life in patients with early PD. Methods All 391 patients with early PD were identified in a clinical-based study. Motor functions were measured by Unified Parkinson' s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) and Hoehn-Yabr Scale. Non-motor variables were assessed by Center of Epidemiological Survey Depression Scale (CES-D) for depressive symptoms, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for sleep disturbance, Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) for fatigue, Alzheimer' s Disease Assessment Scale-Cognitive Sections (ADAS-Cng) for cognitive function, and Constipation Severity Scale for constipation. HR-QOL was measured by SF-36. Motor and non-motor variables were collected at the baseline assessment of a clinical trial and determined during a structured interview and by clinical examination by movement disorder specialists. The results were compared with those in healthy elderly people. Multiple regression analyses were used to determine which variables were strongly associated with lower levels of quality of life. Results Patients with early PD had a lower score on all dimensions of SF-36, except bodily pain dimension. Motor factors, particular physical disability and disease severity, contributed to decreased HR-QOL, but to a lesser extent. The motor score of the UPDRS (23. 8±11.8), Hoehn-Yahr stage(2. 0± 0.7), together with the rigidity score (4.4 ± 3.1), only accounted for 18.9 % (R2=0. 189) of the variance of SF-36 total score. The variables that most strongly predicted a low total SF-36 score were non-motor factors, particularly depressive symptoms, sleep disorders and fatigue. When the CES-D, FSS, and PSQI score were included in the model, the R2 increased from 0. 189 to 0.617, indicating that 61.7% of the variance in HR-QOL could be explained if additional CES-D, FSS and PSQI scores were known. Depressive symptoms, as measured by CES-D, had an overwhelming impact on HR-QOL. When CES-D score was included, the R2 change was 0.433, which indicated that additional 43.3% of the variability in HR-QOL could be explained by adding depressive symptoms. Conclusions PD has a substantial impact on HR-QOL, even if in its early stage. Depressive symptoms, sleep disorders and fatigue correlated strongly with lower quality of life. Depressive symptoms appeared to be the strongest determinant of HR-QOL in early PD patients. Every effort should be made to recognize and treat these conditions, thus improving all aspects of PD and giving these patients as good a quality of life as possible.
