The glucose transporter(GLUT) is an energy-related carrier protein located on the cell membrane.Most researches have shown that changes of energy metabolism play an important role in the development of heart failure.This review summarizes recent advances in the understanding of the relationship between GLUT and heart failure.

Objective To examine the changes in respiratory mechanics and efficacy of mechanical ventilation during perioperative period in patients undergoing valve replacement and determine the possible causes Methods Twenty ASA Ⅱ Ⅵ patients (8 male, 12 female), aged 24 65 years , undergoing valve replacement were studied The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 0.1g, pethidine 50mg and scopolamine 0 3mg Anesthesia was induced with midazolam, fentanyl and vecuronium and maintained with inhalation of low concentration of desflurane and intermittent intravenous boluses of fentanyl, midazolam and vecuronium Valve replacement was performed with moderate hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), The patients were mechanically ventilated with pure oxygen Tidal volume was maintained at 8 10ml/kg, frequency 12 15 bpm and I∶E ratio 1∶1 5 2 During CPB airway pressure was maintained below 5 cmH 2O After operation the patients were transferred to ICU and mechanically ventilated using Siemens 900C ECG, SpO 2, BP, CVP, left auricle pressure and urine output were routinely monitored Respiratory mechanics was measured with Novametrix 8100 multifunction respiratory monitor Mean airway pressure, peak airway pressure, airway resistance, chest lung compliance and respiratory work were measured 20 min after induction of anesthesia, 10 min before CPB, 10 min after termination of CPB, at the end of operation and 2, 6 and 18h after operation Results Work of breathing and airway resistance increased gradually after induction and reached the maximum at 6h after operation Dynamic compliance decreased significantly before CPB but increased slightly after CPB, then decreased again and to the minimum at 6h after operation Mean airway pressure and peak inspiratory pressure went up significantly after operation All parameters mentioned above returned to the preoperative levels before the patients were weaned from respiratory support in ICU Couclusions Thoracotomy and CPB are the main causes of changes in respiratory mechanics in patients undergoing valve replacement The effects reached the peak at 6 h after operation Therefore mechanical respiratory support is essential for the patients until respiratory function recovers and should be maintained for more than 6h after operation

Objective : To investigate the dynamic changes of the expression of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT4 mRNA in rats myocardium with transient ischemia and reperfusion, and the relationship between the dynamic changes and the time during reperfusion. Methods : In rats, the left anterior descending coronary artery was occluded for 20 min followed by reperfusion for 4 hours, 1, 3 or 7 days as ischemia reperfusion model. The relative content of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT4 mRNA in myocardium was detected by RT-PCR and gel electrophoresis imaging. Results: During myocardial post-ischemia and reperfusion, the levels of GLUT1 mRNA got up to the peak at 4th hour[ (0.666?0. 003 ) vs (0. 509?0.002) controls , P 0.05). Conclusion; Transient ischemia and reperfusion induce the expression of glucose transporters GLUT1 and GLUT4 genes in rat myocardi- um, which contribute to promote glucose utilization during ischemia, protect ischemic myocardium and improve functional recovery on reperfusion.

0.05).According to the HSS system,the mean score was 92.1(ranged from 76-97) one year after operation.No complication occurred,such as deep infection,necrosis of skin incision or loosening and breakage of internal fixators.[Conclusion]This modified posteromedial and posterolateral approaches could reduce the complications in incision successfully for the direct reduction and buttress fixation of articular fragments,as well as and soft tissue.

ObjectiveTo study the clinical effect of endoscopic treatment for acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.MethodsThe clinical data of 78 cases in our hospital with acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding were retrospectively analyze.All patients were checked by gastroscopy accompanied by endoscopic treatment.Another 50 cases received ogilvy pull thiazole treatment were analyzed.ResultsAfter endoscopic therapy,all patients were successfully achieved hemostasis,success rate 100.0％.Of which 27 cases were treated by spraying drugs in conducting hemostasis,25 cases succeeded at the first time,the other two turned to injection after the failure;21 cases were treated by injection to stanch bleeding succeeded for the first time;30 cases were treated with titanium clips made it at the first course.None of the patients transferred to surgical treatment,no complications such as perforation and no death.Curative effect of Imidazole group compared with ogilvy pull is different with,a statistical significance( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionEndoscopic treatment for acute non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding could be affirmed,and relatively safe,little trauma,and it could be used as the first method in treating non-variceal upper gastrointestinal bleeding.

Some types of bacteria swim through rotating their flagella. The swimming mechanism of bacteria during flagella bundling and tumble process is analyzed. The effects of body rotation and flagellum′s polymorphic transitions on bundling processes and the wall effect phenomenon are also discussed. Finally, based on dynamics similarity, a new microrobot module is put forward to further studying the flagella swimming phenomena. The research would be very helpful for constructing the bionic swimming robots under the low Reynolds number.

Objective To determine the protective effect of isosorbidemononitrate (IM) on myocardial injury after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC)in swine models of cardiac arrest induced by ventricular fibrillation.Methods The experiment was carried out in Animal Lab of Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital,Capital Medical University.Ventricular fibrillation was induced and untreated for 8 min in twenty WhuZhiShan piglets.CPR was performed until ROSC occurred.The animals were randomized (random number)into two groups:IMgroup (n =10)and control group (n =10).IM [2 μg/(kg· min)]or the equivalent volume in saline was administered respectively for 6 h after ROSC.Hemodynamics and post-resuscitation cardiac function were monitored until 24 h after ROSC. Echocardiography and transmission electron microscopy were useed at 72 h after ROSC.Results There was no significant difference in survival rate between the two groups.No significant differences in mean arterial pressures (mmHg)at ROSC 6 h (88.5 ±5.6 vs.87.8 ±6.0,P =0.790)and ROSC 24 h (89.3 ±3.8 vs.86.9 ± 5.0,P =0.245)between the two groups were found.Cardiac outputs (L/min)were significantly increased at ROSC 6 h (2.40 ±0.17 vs.1.60 ±0.14,P <0.01)and ROSC 24 h (2.49 ±0.17 vs.2.09 ±0.21,P<0.01);and ejection fraction at ROSC 72 h (0.67 ±0.08 vs.0.56 ±0.09,P =0.044)was improved too,and significant differences were found between the two groups.The ultra-structural myocardial injury was ameliorated in the MI group at 72 h after CPR observed by using electron microscopy.Conclusions IM can ameliorate post-resuscitation cardiac dysfunction in porcine models of cardiac arrest induced by ventricular fibrillation.

Objective To study and observe the change of nerve function and erythrocyte immune indexes of patients with severe craniocerebral injury during the perioperative period.Methods Forty patients with severe craniocerebral injury treated with surgery in our hospital from July 2013 to August 2015 were selected as the observation group and 40 healthy persons with the same ages in the same period were selected as the control group.The nerve function related indexes and erythrocyte immune indexes of observation group before and at first,third,fifth,seventh,tenth and fourteenth day after the surgery and those of control group were compared.Results The serum nerve function related indexes of observation group before and at first,third,fifth,seventh,tenth and fourteenth day after the surgery were higher than those of control group.The erythrocyte immune indexes of observation group before and at first,third,fifth,seventh and tenth day after the surgery were worse than those of control group.The erythrocyte immune indexes at fifth and seventh day after the surgery were worse than those before and at first,third,third,tenth and fourteenth day after the surgery.The differences of comparison indexes were all significant (P＜0.05).Conclusion The change of nerve function and erythrocyte immune indexes of patients with severe craniocerebral injury during the perioperative period are obvious.Those indexes should be paid with enough monitoring and intervention.

Objective To analyze CT features of adrenal non-functional pheochromocytoma and non-functional adenoma and to provide reference for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.Methods 17 cases of adrenal non-functional pheochromocytoma and 31 cases of non-functional adenoma confirmed by pathology were analyzed retrospectively.The imaging findings of two groups of cases were statistically analyzed, including size, shape, density, enhanced degree, visible tumor blood vessels, necrosis and cystoid variation and so on.Results The average diameter of the pheochromocytoma was (52.2±20.2) mm, and the average diameter of the adenoma was (27.8±17.6) mm, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The average CT value of pheochromocytoma was higher than that of adenoma in plain, arterial and venous phases(all P<0.05).Of the 17 cases of pheochromocytoma, 14 cases (82.4%) can be seen tumor blood vessels in the arterial phase, 12 cases (70.6%) can be seen necrosis and cystoid variation, the margins of the tumors were no circular or arc-like enhancement;of the 31 cases of adenoma, 3 cases (9.7%) can be seen tumor blood vessels in the arterial phase, 2 cases (6.5%) can be seen necrosis and cystoid variation,10 cases (32.3%) can be seen circular or arc-like enhancement;all the differences were statistically significant (all P<0.05).Conclusion Adrenal non-functional pheochromocytoma and non-functional adenoma have characteristic imaging findings, dual phase enhanced scanning of MSCT is helpful for clinical diagnosis and treatment, one of the distinguishing points is to find tumor blood vessels in arterial phase.
