Objective To investigate the effect of mechanical ventilation in acute organophosphorous pesticide poisoning(AOPP) with respiratry failure. Methods Forty from forty-two AOPP patients with respiratry failure were treated with mechanical ventilation(MV) ,gastrolavage and other methods. Five minutes before mechanical ventilation and two hours after mechanical ventilation, patients' heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), arterial partial blood pH, oxygenation index, the pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) were compared. Results Patients' HR was increased ( P＜0. 05 ), SBP was increased ( P＜0. 01 ), arterial partial blood pH was increased( P＜0. 01 ), oxygenation index was increased(P＜0. 01 ) ,PaCO2 was decreased(P＜0.01 ). Thirty nine cases were cured,three cases dided. Conclusion Mechanical ventilation can effectively treat the AOPP patients with respiratry failure.

Erythropoietin(EPO) has an anti-apoptotic effect,and promotes the proliferation and differentiation of erythroid progenitor cells. Several studies have indicated that EPO can protect photoreceptor cells from the lightinduced retinal degeneration ;protect retinal neurons from ischemia-reperfusion injury and retinal ganglion cells after acute and chronic ocular hypertension; promote ganglion cell survival and axonal regeneration after optic nerve transaction; attenuate inflammation in multiple sclerosis optic neuritis; reduce the permeability of the retinal barrier and protect retinal neurons in diabetic retinopathy; enhance the stability of hypoxic retinal vessels in retinopathy of prematurity. Herein,we review the distribution of EPO and its receptor in retina,their expression in animal model of retinal diseases,and their effects and mechanisms in protection of retinal neurons and optic nerve.

Objective: To evaluate the molecular biological characteristics of bilateral primary breast cancer (BPBC). Methods: The clinicopathological characteristics of 325 patients with BPBC and 650 patients with unilateral breast cancer (UBC) were retrospectively analyzed. The evidence of molecular biology related to the occurrence of BPBC was evaluated by univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. Results: The early occurrence of first primary breast cancer, a family history of breast cancer, a maximum tumor diameter of more than 5 cm, and clinical stage III were more frequent in BPBC patients than in UBC patients (P < 0.05). The negative rates of estrogen receptor (ER) and progesterone receptor (PR), the positive rate of p53, and the incidence of high expression of Ki67 were higher in BPBC patients than those in UBC patients (P < 0.05), but there was no difference in the expression of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2) between BPBC patients and UBC patients (P > 0.05). The characteristics including a family history of breast cancer, a maximum tumor diameter of more than 5 cm and positive expression of p53 in BPBC were independent risk factors. The patients with positive ER or positive PR had a lower risk of BPBC. Conclusion: There are differences in biological characteristics between BPBC and UBC. The breast cancer patients with the characteristics including young woman, a family history of breast cancer, negative expression of hormone receptor, positive expression of p53, and high expression of Ki67 should pay attention to the occurrence of contralateral breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the mediating effect of mental resilience on the relationship between work stress and sleep quality in psychiatrists. Methods A total of 221 front-line psychiatrists from four mental health centers in Shannxi Province were selected as the study subjects using convenience sampling method. The questionnaires of Scale for Occupational Stressors on Clinician，Chinese Version of Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale were used to investigate the work stress，mental resilience and sleep quality of the psychiatrists. We conducted Bootstrap mediation test to analyze the mediating effect of mental resilience using SPSS PROCESS V3.5 macro program. Results The total score of work stress of psychiatrists was 97.0±17.5，and the medium（P25，P75）of mental resilience and sleep quality scores were 84.0（75.5， 94.0）and 6.0（5.0，9.0）respectively. The detection rate of sleep disorders among psychiatrists was 33.9%（75/221）. The total score of work stress of psychiatrists was negatively correlated with the total score of mental resilience ［rank correlation coefficient（rS ）=−0.34，P<0.01］，and was positively correlated with the total score of sleep quality（rS =0.48，P<0.01）. The total score of mental resilience was negatively correlated with that of sleep quality （rS = − 0.39，P<0.01）. The work stress of psychiatrists had a positive predictive effect on sleep quality［standardized regression coefficient（β）=0.41.P<0.01］，and a negative predictive effect on mental resilience（β）=−0.38，P<0.01）. Mental resilience had a negative predictive effect on sleep quality（β）=−0.24，P<0.01. Mental resilience played a partial mediating role between work stress and sleep quality，and the mediating effect accounted for 22.0% of the total effect. Conclusion Both work stress and mental resilience of psychiatrists can directly affect their sleep quality，and the mental resilience has a partial mediating role in the effect of work stress on sleep quality.

A total of 178 patients with the time of mechanical ventilation beyond 48 hours in the second affiliated hospital of Wenzhou medical college from January 2010 to December 2013 were enrolled in this study,and there were fifty-six patients with ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT).The associated factors included age,sex,blood pressure,blood glucose,BMI,the time of mechanical ventilation,tracheal intubation methods,raise head to 30-45°,proton pump inhibitors (PPI),prophylactic antibiotic treatment,glasgow coma scale (GCS),acute physiology and chronic health evaluation (APECHE) Ⅱ score.The related factors of VAT were evaluated by using univariate logistical regression analysis,and the statistical significant variables were analyzed by using multivariate logistical regression analysis.By using univariate logistical regression analysis age,blood glucose,the time of mechanical ventilation,raise head to 30-45°,prophylactic antibiotic treatment,GCS and APECHE Ⅱ score were the important factors of VAT (P ＜ 0.05),but sex,blood pressure,BMI,tracheal intubation methods and PPI were insignificant related to VAT(P ＞ 0.05).By using multivariate logistical regression analysis the time of mechanical ventilation (OR =4.072,95％ CI 2.036-8.146),GCS[2.198(1.155-4.184)],age[2.128 (1.119-4.046)],APECHE Ⅱ score [2.109 (1.084-4.104)] and raise head to 30-45 ° [0.488 (0.243-0.979)] were associated independently with the VAT.The time of mechanical ventilation,GCS,age over 60 years,APECHE Ⅱ score and raise head to 30-45°were the independent factors associated with VAT.

AIM: To investigate the role of catecholamine, angiotensin converting enzyme(ACE) and adenosine triphosphatase in ischemic preconditioning in isolated rat hearts. METHODS: Isolated perfused rat heart was subjected to global ischemia for 40 min followed by reperfusion for 10 min (I/R). Preconditioning (PC) was induced by 5 min of ischemia and 10 min of reperfusion. The tissue concentrations in NE, and ACE, ATPase activities were determined in left ventricle in the PC and I/R groups by fluorometry and spectrophotometry. RESULTS: There were no significant difference in NE and ACE between PC and I/R groups. PC hearts showed improved recovery of the contractile function after 40 min ischemia/10 min reperfusion, but activities of the myocardial total ATPase, Mg2＋-ATPase, Na＋K＋-ATPase were inhibited markedly compared with I/R group. CONCLUSION: The inhibited myocardial ATPase may be involved in the mechanism of ischemic preconditioning protection in the isolated rat heart. Endogenous myocardial norepinephrine and ACE activation are not essential for ischemic preconditioning in the isolated rat heart.
