With conventional double-antibody sandwich technique,total IgE level in35 serum samples from malignant lymphoma patients and 35 matched normalcontrols was measured by ELISA.It was found that there was a statisticallyhigher total IgE levels in patients than in the control(p

Objective To study the clinical significance of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2 ) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and seek the fixed value according which to decide if we should and when to give up.Methods This was a prospective,observational study.A total of 124 patients with cardiac arrest in or out-of-hospital from may 2003 to March 2009 in emergency department of our hospital were selected.All of them had definite etiological factors.Changes of PetCO2 in 124 cardiac arrest patients during CPR were tracked.Results The gender,age,rescue time in seventy-one patients with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after endotracheal intubation have a significant difference with that in fifty-three patients without ROSC (P ＜0.01 ).The PetCO2 of the survival were higher than that of patients without ROSC or with ROSC,but finally died (P ＜0.01 ).A fixed point 14.4 mmHg of PetCO2 after 20 minutes' CPR can be used as a reference value to guide CPR or predict prognosis.Conclusions Monitoring PetCO2 during CPR has a predictive value on the success of resuscitation.

[Objective]To inrestigate the clinical outcomes of using bilateral tibial flap of the second toe nail flap combined with the fibulal flap of the big toe to repair the multi-finger degloving injury.[Method]A variety of different methods were used to repair the multi-finger degloving injury,six fingers in 3 cases were repaired by partial bilateral wrap-around flaps combined with the tibial flap of the second toe.Sixteen fingers in 8 cases were repaired by bilateral second toe nail flap combined with the fibulal flap of the big toe.Six fingers in 2 cases were repaired by bilateral second toenail flap,the fibulal flap of the big toe and the digital arterial island flap.Three fingers in l case were repaired by bilateral second toe nail flap combined with the fibulal flap of the big toe and the the lateral flap of dorsum of foot.Six fingers in 3 cases were repaired by bilateral second toe nail flap and the fibulal flap of the big toe and bilateral dorsum flap of foot.Four fingers in 1 case were repaired by partial bilateral wrap-around flaps and the tibial flap of the second toe and the anterolateral thigh flap.Six fingers in 3 cases were repaired by bilateral second toe nail flap combined with the fibulal flap of the big toe,and bilateral dorsum flap of foot and bilateral anterolateral thigh flap.[Result]Ninety-seven flaps of 98 flaps of 47 fingers in 21 cases were suvived well,with 1 flap developed necrosis.The follow-up duration ranged from 6 months to 9 years in 17 cases (37 fingers).In addition to the activities of DIP limited,the other interphalangeal joint activities were nearly normal.All of the fingernail grew well.Two point discrimination of the fingers was between 5mm and 11 mm.The donor site was hardly affected.[Conclusion]It is a better method using the big toe flap combined with the second toe flap to repair the the multi-finger degloving injury at one stage.

AIM: To observe the efficacy of intravitreal injection with ranibizumab combined with laser photocoagulation for macular edema ( ME ) secondary to macular branch retinal vein occlusion( MBRVO) .
METHODS:A retrospective analysis included 33 patients (33 eyes) with ME secondary to MBRVO were taken. All patients received intravitreal injection of 0. 5mg ranibizumab ( 0. 05ml ) at first visit. The continue PRN treatment and laser photocoagulation were based on the visual acuity changes and optical coherence tomography findings. The changes of best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA) , central macular thickness( CMT) , and amplitude density and latency of P1 wave in mfERG were observed before treatment and 6mo after treatment.
RESULTS: Before the treatment, logMAR was 0. 68±0.35, 6mo after treatment was 0. 34±0. 23, BCVA was improved obviously ( P < 0. 01 ), BCVA in 21 patients ( 63.64%) were improved in two rows among all the patients. CMT before treatment was(487. 30±63. 58) μm, after treatment was(238. 84±52. 66) μm(P<0. 01). The amplitude densities of P1 wave in ring 1, ring 2 and ring 3 after treatment were significantly increased(all P<0. 01), and the latencies were decrease ( all P < 0. 05 ). The conjunctival hemorrhage was observed in 2 eyes after treatment.
CONCLUSION: Intravitreal injection with ranibizumab combined with laser photocoagulation for ME secondary to MBRVO can reduce the CMT and improve visual function.

0.05).The off-pump group had a shorter respiratory support time [(4.8?1.9)h vs(8.9?2.1)h,t=17.453,P=0.000],less drainage volume[(390?152)ml vs(660?111)ml,t=17.173,P=0.000],and required less blood transfusion [(270?77)ml vs(510?144)ml,t=17.861,P=0.000] than the on-pump group.In the off-pump group,3(2.0%)of the 150 patients developed renal function injury that is significantly more than that in the on-pump group [11/140(7.9%),?2=5.407,P=0.020].Conclusions Off-pump CABG is as effective as the on-pump surgery;moreover,it is a better choice for patients with high-risk coronary disease since this technique is superior in reducing respiratory support time,volumes of chest drainage and blood transfusion,and renal function injury.

Objective To screen melanocortin 4 receptor (Mc4R) gene mutation by direct DNA sequencing in order to explore the mutation situation of Mc4R gene in simple obese children in Nanjing.Methods One hundred and five simple obese children(obesity group) and 127 healthy children(healthy control group) were examined for mutations of Mc4R gene.Body mass index(BMI)cutoff points for overweight and obesity adopted Chinese children and adolescents,recommended by China Working Group of Obesity,and all children had no other hereditary and metabolic abnormality.Touch-down PCR was performed to amplify the full length Mc4R gene,then direct DNA sequencing was used to analyze the Mc4R gene.The differences of biochemical index levels between obesity group and healthy control group were analyzed ,including alanine transaminase,aspartate transaminas,total protein,albumin,globulin,albumin/globulin,triglyceride,cholesterol,high density lipoprotein,cortisol,insulin and C peptide.Results There were significant differences of biochemical index levels between obesity group and healthy control group,including triglyceride,insulin level after dining 2 h,C peptide and BMI(Pa
