OBJECTIVE:To study the identification problems of pharmacokinetic compartment models.METHODS:Problems of the identification of classical compartment models in single administration were systematically discussed by Laplace transformation method.RESULTS:The classical compartment models in single administration don't have the character of u-niqueness and the identification for which is a problem.CONCLUSION:The drug level in plasma and the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs were in a direct ratio under the condition of two kinds of unidentifiable classical compartment models,in that case,it has theoretic bases and significance to predict the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs or target organs by means of determining the drug concentration in plasma;if on the other hand,if two kinds of classical com-partment models are identifiable,the drug level in plasma and the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs or target organs wouldn't be in a proportional relationship,in this case,it is advisable to make sure the relationship between the drug le_ vel in plasma and the concentration of drugs that distributed in organs or target organs before predicting drug concentration that distributed in organs or target organs by means of monitoring the drug concentration in plasma;otherwise,it is baseless and meaningless.

Abodominal giant incisional hernia is the common complication of abdominal operations,and surgery is the only efficient treatment for it.It is important to treat the local complications,to use antibiotics and to assess the tolerance of increased intra-abdominal pressure before operation.Component separation technique is feasible to close the abdominal wall defect,which is one of the main difficuhies in giant heruia repair.After that,mesh repair with biological materials is recommended to enhance the abdominal wall.Although mesh repair techniques diversified,sandwich hernionhaphy seems superior.This paper will analyse the present treatment progress of abdominal giant incisional hernia.

Objective To study the changes in and correlations between the partial pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) and the coronary perfusion pressure during cardio-pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) based on the cardiac arrest dog models of ventricular fibrillation by electric shock. Methods 36 healthy dogs were evenly randomized into 3 groups including 4 minutes close-chest CPR(CCCPR) group, 4 minutes open-chest CPR(OCCPR) group, and 8 minutes OCCPR group. There were 12 dogs in each group, half male and half female. In the process of CPR, all parameters about PETCO2 and CPP were recorded. Results In the 4 minutes CCCPR group, the correlation coefficient between the CPP and the PETCO2 was 0.992 (P<0.05), which was in positive linear correlation. In the 4 minutes OCCPR group, the correlation coefficient between the CPP and the PETCO2 was 0.937 (P < 0.05), which also showed positive linear correlation. In the 8 minutes OCCPR group, the correlation coefficient between the CPP and the PETCO2 was 0.952 (P<0.05), and was also in positive linear correlation. The percentage of ROSC was 66.7(8/12) in the 4 minutes CCOPR group, 100%(12/12) in the 4 minutes OCCPR group and 58.3%(7/12) in the 8 minutes OCCPR group. There were statistical differences in CPP, PETCO2 between models with ROSC and without ROSC at 1, 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 mins of CPR (all P<0.05). Conclusions This research shows that there is a close positive linear relationship between the coronary perfusion pressure and the PETCO2, and PETCO2 could be used to evaluate the prognosis of the CPR.

Objective To study changes and meaning of serum IL -4,IL -10,IFN -gamma,TGF -beta 1 level in patients with delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide poisoning.Methods From January 2011 and June 2014 in our hospital,40 cases of DEACMP patients were selected as group A;the 40 patients with DEACMP was divided into 12 cases of mild cognitive dysfunction,mild cognitive dysfunction in 20 cases,8 cases of severe cognitive dysfunction.40 cases with acute carbon monoxide poisoning (ACMP)patients were selected as group B;40 cases of healthy subjects were selected as healthy controls.Serum interleukin 4 and interleukin 10(IL -4)(IL -10),interfer-on gamma (IFN -gamma),conversion,growth factor beta 1 (TGF -beta 1)content were tested.Results In Group A and group B serum IL -4 levels were lower than that of healthy controls (P <0.01),and serum levels of IL -10 in group B were higher than that in group A and healthy controls (P <0.01),serum level of IFN -gamma in group A and group B was higher than the healthy controls (P <0.01),and in group A IFN -gamma levels were higher than group B (P <0.01),while in group A serum TGF -beta 1 level was lower than B group and the control group (P <0.01),and in group B TGF -beta 1 level was higher than the control group (P <0.01);With cognitive impairment aggravating of DEACMP patients,IL -4,IL -10,TGF -beta 1 levels were on the decline,and IFN -gamma level was increasing (P <0.01).Conclusion DEACMP patients serum and cerebrospinal fluid of IL -4,IL -10,IFN -gam-ma,TGF -beta measures such as abnormal expression,showed that the onset of DEACMP may be related to neural immune injury.Serum IL -4,IL -10,IFN -gamma and TGF -beta of DEACMP patients exists abnormal expression Serum IL -4,IL -10,IFN -gamma and TGF -beta levels are also related to the degree of cognitive impairment of DEACMP patients.The onset and progress of DEACMP may be associated with neural immune injury.

Objective To investigate the potential factors that may be associated with clinical significant endoscopy findings (CSEF) and the characters of the appropriate patients for upper endoscopy.Methods Information of the out-patients was collected from the questionnaires that were performed before undergoing upper endoscopy from 26 September 2011 to 23 December 2011,including demographics characteristics,symptoms,gastroesophageal reflux disease questionnaire (Gerd Q) score,comorbidities,medication and purpose for upper endoscopy.The analyses were performed by Logistic regression to find the potential factors that were associated with CSEF.Results A total of 942 cases were enrolled.There were 471 (50.0％) patients with dyspepsia and reflux symptoms,300(31.8％)patients with dyspepsia and without reflux symptoms,and 86(9.1％)patients with reflux symptoms and without dyspepsia.Sum to 325 (34.5％) patients were diagnosed with CSEF,119(12.6％) with erosive esophagitis,28(3.0％) with Barrett esophagus,102 (10.8％)with peptic ulcers,66 (7.0％) with gastric dysplasia,and 13 (1.4％) with upper malignancy.Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that men (OR=1.677,95％CI:1.148 to 2.451),older age (OR=1.032,95％CI:1.021 to 1.044),alcohol intake (OR=1.761,95％CI:1.068 to 2.903),Gerd-Q score increase (OR=1.079,95％ CI:1.003 to 1.160),and presence of acid regurgitation (OR=1.659,95 ％CI:1.143 to 2.408) were significantly associated with increasing risk of diagnosis for CSEF,while taking proton pump inhibitors (OR=0.298,95％CI 0.109 to 0.818)was associated with lower possibility of detection.Conclusions Factors such as male,older age,alcohol intake,Gerd-Q score increase,presence of acid regurgitation and taking proton pump inhibitors,may have a certain significance for screening out patients and further improving the cost efficiency of gastroscopy.

Objective To explore the clinical value of early diagnosis of ovarian cancer by serum lysophosphatidic acid(LPA) and CA-125.Methods 50 patients with ovarian cancer from October 2005 to February 2008 were selected as ovarian cancer group,at the same period selected 44 patients with ovarian benign tumor(ovarian benign disease group),and 50 healthy women as the healthy control group.All patients were diagnosed and confirmed by preoperative blood and pathology.The serum LPA and CA-125 of two groups were detected.Results The serum LPA level and the positive rate in the ovarian cancer group was higher than that of the ovaries benign group or the control group(P＜0.05).The CA-125 level in the ovarian cancer group was similar to that of the ovaries benign group(P＞0.05),while the CA-125 level in the ovarian cancer group or the ovaries benign group was higher than that of the control group(P＜0.05).The specificity of the LPA was better than that of the CA-125 detection.In the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer,the sensitivity of the combination(85.7%) was better than either of them(P＜0.01);the plasma LPA level and positive rate of CA-125 of the phase Ⅱ～Ⅳ ovarian cancer patients were higher than that of phase Ⅰ (P＜0.01);the CA-125 positive rate of the serious cystadenocarcinoma was higher than that of the cystadenocarcinoma(P＜0.01).Conclusion LPA is a sensitive biomarker for the early diagnosis of ovarian cancer,especially combined with CA-125.It should be widely used in clinic.

Objective To detect the level of the serum estradiol-2 (E_2), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF- α) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in patients with endometriosis (EMS) and explore their clinical significance. Methods Fifty-nine EMS patients from January 2006 to January 2009 were selected as EMS group and 60 normal women were selected as control group. The serum E_2,TNF-αand VEGF in EMS group 24 h pre-operation, 7 d post-operation and 6 months after operation were detected, and compared with control group. Results The levels of the serum E_2[(216.5 ± 59.7) ng/L],TNF- α [(30.4 ± 17.5) μg/L]and VEGF [(250.7 ± 88.7) ng/L]in EMS group pre-operation were significantly higher than those in control group [(100.2 ± 33.2) ng/L, (11.2 ± 3.6) μg/L, (103.2 ± 49.2) ng/L]and post-operation [(121.3±44.6) ng/L, (13.4 ± 6.2) μg/L, (153.9 ± 58.7) ng/L](P < 0.01). But there was no significant difference between control group and post-operation of EMS group (P > 0.05). The levels of the serum E_2 [(316.5 ± 77.6) ng/L],TNF-α [(51.1 ± 12.3) μg/L]and VEGF [(305.1±69.7) ng/L]with stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ in EMS group were higher than those in control group or those with stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ [(170.7±48.2) ng/L, (25.8 ± 10.1) μ g/L, (169.2 ± 36.1) ng/L](P < 0.05 or < 0.01). The levels of the serum E_2,TNF- α and VEGF with stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ in EMS group were also higher than those in control group (P < 0.05). Nine patients recurred at 6 months after the operation. The levels of the serum E_2[(187.8 ± 46.7) ng/L],TNF- α [(23.9 ± 9.5) μg/L]and VEGF [(185.3 ± 57.4) ng/L]of the recurred EMS patients stepped up significantly higher than those of the non-recurred EMS patients [(112.7±30.3) ng/L, (13.2±4.7) μg/L, (116.4±30.3) ng/L](P < 0.01). While there was no significant difference between control group and non-recurred EMS patients (P >0.05). Conclusions The serum E_2,TNF-αand VEGF may play important roles in the development of the EMS. And the detection of the serum E_2,TNF-αand VEGF is useful to judge the patient's condition and the prognosis of the EMS.

H295R cells can express all the key enzymes involved in the synthesis of steroid hormones,and have the ability to produce the steroid hormones found in the adult human adrenal cortex. Good correlation of response to toxicity has been reported between H295R cell line and normal adult human adrenal cells. H295R cell line can be used to evaluate effects of chemicals on gene expression,enzymatic activities and hormone production,and to explore the mode of action of chemicals on steroidgenesis. H295R cell line has been suggested as a potentially useful tool for screening environmental steroid hormone disruptors in vitro. The application of H295R cell line for screening environmental steroid hormone disruptors in vitro and its current issues are reviewed in this article.

Objective To analyze the causes and results of treatment of periprosthetic femoral frac-tures after total hip arthroplasty and to explore the best operative methods for fractures. Methods 11 cases treated for periprosthetic femoral fracture after total hip arthroplasty were subjected to a retrospective fol-low-up study from December 1998 to March 2003. There were 8 men and 3 women, the mean age was 56 years (range, 43 to 75 years). There were 2 Vancouver A type fractures, 7 B2 type, 1 B3 type, 1 C type. 5 fractures were treated by nonoperative methods and other 6 by operative methods, including one fracture malunion treated initially by skin traction. There were 5 revisions using long stem supplemented with cortical allograft strut, including 4 uncemented stems with distal fixation and one cemented stem; the remaining one fracture treated by open reduction and internal fixation. Results None was lost for follow-up. The mean follow-up period was 25.6 months (range, 7 to 50 months). 9 fractures united at a mean of 4 months (range, 3 to 6 months). Nonunion was found in 2 fractures, both were treated nonoperatively. All the 6 fractures treated by operative methods united. Up to now, 7 stems were well-fixed, continuous radiolucent line was seen in one revision case, 3 stems were loosened. The function of the patients with well-fixed stems was bet-ter than those with loosened stems, the mean Harris score of the former was 91. All the cortical allograft struts were incorporated with host bone within one year. No strut fracture happened. Conclusion Type A fractures with well-fixed stems can be treated by nonoperative methods, while type B1 and type C fractures should be treated by open reduction and internal fixation, on condition there is no surgical contraindication. For fractures with loosened stems, use of an uncemented long stem with distal fixation supplemented with cortical allograft strut is the best choice.
