Objective To evaluate left ventricular function in the way of intracavitary flow dynamics by vector flow mapping (VFM) with echocardiography, and to discuss its clinical usefulness. Methods Twenty-six patients with dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) and 44 healthy controls were involved. The velocity distribution imagings on the section plane of the flow in the left ventricle were obtained by VFM,and series parameters of velocity and distance were measured with DSA-RS1 software,including systolic parameters,such as velocity gradient from cardiac apex to the aortic valve(△Vs) ,distance from cardiac apex to the aortic valve(Ds), velocity according to half distance (Vs1/2), and diastolic parameters, such as velocity gradient from the mitral orifice to the apex(△Vd), distance from mitral orifice to cardiac apex(Dd),velocity according to half distance(Vd1/2). Results Compared with the values in the control group, parameters of systolic velocity(△Vs, Vs1/2 ) and parameters of diastolic velocity ( △Vd, Vd1/2 ) were significantly lower, parameter of systolic distance (Ds) and parameter of diastolic distance (Dd) were significantly longer( P ＜0.05). Ds,Dd were positive correlated with left ventricular(LV) end-diastolic volume(EDV), end-systolic volume (ESV) ,LV diameter ( r ＞0.4, P ＜0.01 ), and negtively correlated with LV ejection fraction(EF) ( r ＞0.3, P ＜0.01 ). Vs1/2, Vd1/2 were negtively correlated with EDV, ESV, LV diameter ( r ＞0.3, P ＜0.01 ),and positive correlated with EF( r ＞0.3, P ＜0.01 ). Conclusions The velocity of DCM group was lower than that of control group, VFM is a new noninvasive and clinically useful parameter for the evaluation of intracavitary flow dynamics.

Objective To investigate the relation between symptoms/pulmonary function and airway inflammation of asthmatic children through follow-up investigation on the pulmonary function and airway inflammatory,in order to provide basis for regular asthmatic therapy.Methods The pulmonary function and histamine challenge test of 32 cases of 7～14 years old asthmatic children under regular inhalation corticosteroid(ICS) therapy were carried out and the relation between the symptoms/pulmonary function and airway reactivity were evaluated.Results During the remission period after regular ICS therapy,the mean of one second force expiratory volume(FEV_1),25% and 50% of vital capacity of force expiratory flow(FEF_ 25 and FEF_ 50 ) predicted improved significantly when comparing with those prior to the therapy(P

AIM:To observe the effect of Rheum emodi Wall on expess level of TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 on acute ischemic stroke(ACI)at high altitude. METHODS: 65 patients aith ACI at high altitude(2 260 m)were randomly divided into treatment group(34) and control groups(31).both groups received danshen-safflower injection.Meanwhile treatment group took Rheum emodi decoction orally for 4 weeks,while control group doesn't.Serum levels of TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 were measured by radioimmumoassay. RESULTS: The treatment group showed much higher rates of improvement than control group(88.24%;70.97%)after weeks.Serum levels of TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 decreased significantly in patients with ACI at treatment group as compared with those of control group. CONCLUSION: Rheum emodi Wall can improve the nervous function of ACI by reducing TNF-?、IL-1? and IL-6 content in serun.

Eight 1,6-O,O-diacetylbritannilactone (OABL) derivatives (compounds 1-8) were synthesized by esterification or reduction of 1-O-diacetylbritannilactone (ABL) isolated from Inula japonica.All derivatives were evaluated for their anti-inflammation activities through the determination of inhibition of nitric oxide (NO) production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced macrophages.As results,compounds 5-8 (IC50 ＜ 2 μmol/L) exhibited more potent inhibition of NO production activities than the lead compound OABL.

Objective To discuss the lung protective effect of Shenfu injection on the legs' ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Sixty patients (6 males, 24 females, ASA grade Ⅰ or Ⅱ)with unilateral lower limb surgery, were randomly divided into Shenfu injection group (group SF, n=32) and control group (group C, n=28).All patients were treated by combined spinal epidural anesthesia, with the same dose of local anesthetic (0.75% bupivacaine 1.5 ml and the same pressure (300mm Hg) of tourniquet.Patients in group SF were given intravenous infusion of Shenfu injection with the dose of 1 ml/kg (added in normal saline 100 ml) 30 min before apply tourniquet and 1 ml/kg (added in nomal saline 50 ml) 5 min before tourniquet deflation.Patients in group C were injected with equal dose of compound sodium lactate at the same time.Recorded the hemodynamic changes before apply tourniquet (T0) and 5 min (T1), 15 min (T2) and 30 min (T3) after tourniquet deflation.Took venous blood to determine concentrations of plasma thromboxane B2 (TXB2) and malondialdehyde (MDA).Results Compared with T0, MAP in the two groups were significcantly lower at T1-T3 (P＜0.05).MAP in group SF at T2 and T3 were higher than those in group C (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in HR between the two groups.TXB2 and MDA in group SF at T2 and T3 were significantly lower than those in group C (P＜0.05 or P＜0.01).Conclusion Shenfu injection with antioxidation has a protective effect on lower limb ischemia-reperfusion lung injury induced by tourniquet.

Objective To study the risk factors,clinical manifestations,drug sensitivity and outcomes of preterm infants with aerogenes infection in NICU.Method Preterm infants diagnosed to have infection of aerogenes in our NICU during July 2014 to October 2014 were selected as the infection group in our study.Uninfected preterm infants whose gestational age and birth weight were similar to the infants in infection group were selected as the control group.The ratio of number of infants in infection group and control group was 1 ∶ 2.The basic situation,clinical application of antibiotics before infection,defecation times,invasive manipulations,and parenteral nutrition time of the two groups were retrospectively collected.The clinical manifestations,drug sensitivity and outcomes of preterm infants with aerogenes infection were analyzed.Result There were 8 infants in infection group (male:female =3∶5).The birth weight ranged from 780 to 2 760 g;and gestational age from 28 to 33 w.There were 16 infants in the control group (male:female =1 ∶ 1).The birth weight ranged from 1 070 to 1 780 g,and gestational age,from 29 to 33 w.The incidence of prenatal infection in infection group was higher than that in the control group (3/8 vs.4/16,P ＜ 0.05).Comparing the two study groups,there were statistical differences between them in the following aspects (all P ＜ 0.05):non-invasive respiratory support time [11 (6,36) d vs.4 (0,6) d] and invasive mechanical ventilation time [(1 (0,6) d vs.0 (0,0) d].All the 8 infants in infection group had pneumonia,3 of them with sepsis (1 case was extremely low birth weight infant,and 2 cases were very low birth weight infants),and one of them died from septic shock.Drug sensitivity analysis showed that aerogenes were resistant to all the third generation cephalosporins,and were sensitive to Meropenem and Piperacillin/Tazobactam.The resistance rates of Imipenem were 1/6 in the first month,2/6 in the second month,9/11 in the third month,and 2/4 in the fourth month,respectively.Conclusion Avoidance of prenatal infection and shortening of the application of ventilator may reduce the incidence of aerogenes infection.Most of infants with aerogenes infection have favourable prognosis.The resistance rate of third generation cephalosporins is very high.Aerogenes could develop resistance quickly to the antibiotics which is sensitive initially.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of tuberculous pleurisy(TP) in children in order to provide a good solution to the diagnosis and treatment of this disease.Methods Retrospective analysis was performed on the clinical data of 113 cases confirmed with TP who were admitted to Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2009 to December 2014.Results Among the 113 pediatric inpatients with TP,85 cases (75.2％) were sick for less than 1 month;92.9％ (105/113 cases) age ≥≥5 years old by onset;and 21.2％ (24/113 cases) patients demonstrated the contact with tuberculosis ,among whom 70.8％ (17/24 cases) attributed to linear relatives.The primary clinical manifestations included fever[96.5％ (109/113 cases)], cough [76.1％ (86/113 cases)] and chest pain[38.9％ (44/113 cases)] ,with as high as 89.0％ (87/109 cases) of the patients experiencing moderate or ardent fever.The positive rates of acid-fast bacilli smear and mycobacterium tuberculosis culture were 12.2％ (17/139 cases) and 22.7％ (15/66 cases), respectively;among the 41 patients who received pleural biopsy,40 cases (97.6％) were identified with the typical pathological changes in tuberculosis;and all 11 patients who received acid fast stain test on pleural tissues were positive to the test.Pulmonary parenchymatous lesions were revealed on CT examination in 89.1％ patients(98/113 cases),82.4％ (90/109 cases) of the patients had normal body temperature within a short period,and reduced effusion was revealed in 86 out of 98 patients who received repeated chest imaging examinations.Conclusions TP in children has acute onset typically, and the diagnosis of TP in children is more difficult than in adults,requiring considering multiple factors.Contact history with tubercular patients, etiological examination, pleural biopsy and chest CT are essential for the diagnosis of this disease.

Objective To study the expressions of Hsp70,P27,Bcl-2 in mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary glands and clinical significances.Methods Forty cases of mucoepidermoid carcinoma of salivary glands were chosen and the expressions of Hsp70,P27,Bcl-2 were detected by the method of immunohistochemistry,10 cases of polymorphic adenoma were chosen as control group.Results Both Hsp70 and P27 were stained with aliomycin in nucleus and cytoplasm,the positive rates of them were 75% and 27.5%,respectively,there were significant differences compared with control group(P0.05).The expressions of Hsp70 and P27 had significant differences in different clinical stages,different histological grades and lymph node metastasis(P0.05).Conclusion The expressions of Hsp70 and P27 can be used to estimate prognosis of patients with mucoepidermoid carcinoma.Hsp70 and Bcl-2 can inhibit apoptosis by different ways.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate bacterial drug resistance detection value in lower respiratory tract infection treatment.METHODS The data of distribution and antimicrobial resistance of clinical strains in sputum samples in patients with lower respiratory tract infection within some periods were collected and analyzed by WHONET software.Meanwhile,the delivery rates and detection positive rates of clinical species and antibiotics application status in clinic were retrospectively analyzed.RESULTS The delivery rates and detection positive rates of clinical species in patients with lower respiratory tract infection within some periods were 67.8% and 55.9%,respectively.The proportion of Gram-negative bacilli and Gram-positive cocci was 82.39% and 14.18%,respectively.Different drug resistance was displayed in different pathogenic bacteria.Resistant rate of Enterobacteriaceae bacteria and non-ferment bacteria against ciprofloxacin and piperacillin/tazobactam was 47.8%,34.8%and 31.5%,44.7%,respectively and resistant rate of S.aureus against levofloxacin was 63.9%.CONCLUSIONS Although the pathogenic bacteria in patients with lower respiratory tract infection show higher drug resistance to general antibiotics,most of patients with lower respiratory tract infection are treated according to clinical experience of doctors,not based on the results of bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility test.Therefore,the results of bacterial culture and antimicrobial susceptibility test do not play a proper role to direct anti-infective therapy in clinic.
