Objective To observe the clinical effect of blood transfusion on earthquake victims from Wenchuan earthquake area, Sichuan province.Methods The blood routine, electrolyte and coagulation function of earthquake victims were detected.Results A total of 41(27.5%) victims received blood transfusion. The average volume of blood transfusion was 1 233 ml, and the average volume of plasma was 1 550 ml. No patient was found to have adverse transfusion reaction. There was no significant difference between the electrolytes before and after the transfusion.Conclusion Blood transfusion is important in the care of earthquake victims.

Objective To investigate the risk factors on children with coronary artery lesions (CAL) secondary to Kawasaki di-sease(KD). Methods One hundred and forty - five patients with KD from January 1999 to December 2001 were collected. Among them, 93 cases without CAL and 52 cases with CAL. The test results, therapeutic methods and prognosis were analyzed in two groups. Results The duration of fever was longer and mean value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) higher in group with CAL than those m the group without CAL(P0.05).The incidence of CAL was 18.8% (18/96) in patients of IVIG treatment within 10 days from onset, and 69.4% (34/49) in patients without IVIG treatment (P

Objective To explore the value of serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) level in assessment of disease severity for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods A total of 81 cases of patients with COPD treated in our hospital from September 2015 to March 2016 were selected (COPD group),including 51 cases of patients with acute exacerbation of COPD and 30 cases of patients with stable of COPD.Meanwhile,30 volunteers without COPD were collected as control group.Serum levels of IMA were detected and compared among different groups.Correlations between serum level of IMA and serum level of myoglobin (MYO),troponin T (TNT) and C reactive protein (CRP),and white blood cell (WBC) count were analyzed respectively.A receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was also plotted to investigate the diagnostic value of serum IMA level for diagnosing COPD.Results Serum level of IMA in the COPD group was higher than that in the control group [84.1 (79.1,88.5) U/L vs.73.1 (70.2,75.1)U/L],serum level of IMA in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD was higher than that of patients with stable of COPD [85.5 (82.3,89.4)U/L vs.78.1 (75.9,83.0)U/L],serum levels of IMA in patients with acute exacerbation and stable of COPD both were higher than that in the control group,there were statistically significant differences (P＜0.05).The serum level of IMA was positively related with serum level of MYO in patients with COPD (r=0.554,P =0.00).ROC curve indicated when the cutoff value was set as 76.55 U/L,the sensitivity and specificity of serum level of IMA for diagnosing COPD was 88.5％ and 80.0％ respectively,and area under the ROC curve was 0.88.Conclusion Serum level of IMA could be a valuable indicator for clinically assessing disease severity of patients with COPD,which deserves further study through expanding samples size.

AIM: To investigate whether a consensus oligonucleotide, which contains nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-?B) binding site, decreases TNF production stimulated by lipopolysaccharide(LPS). METHODS: The thiophosphoric acid modified oligonucleotides were transferred into rat peritoneal macrophages directly, TNF content in LPS-stimulated cell culture supernatant was determined by ELISA.RESULTS: Adding the consensus oligonucleotides with NF-?B binding site into macrophages markedly decreased TNF production following LPS stimulation. CONCLUSION: These results show that use of the consensus oligonucleotides with NF-?B binding site, which can combine with NF-?B, can block or decrease TNF production induced by LPS in macrophages.

Objective:To compare the effect of TiO 2 nanoparticles on antioxidant function and element content of liver and kidney tissues in young and adult rats .Methods:Forty-eight SD male rats , half in 4-week (youth) old and half in 9-week (adult) old rats, were randomly divided into 8 groups, which were exposed to TiO2 nanoparticles [(75 ±15) nm, anatase] through intragastric administration at 0, 10, 50 and 200 mg/kg body weight every day for 30 days.The liver and kidney tissues were collected for antioxidant function and element content analysis .Results: 200 mg/kg TiO2 nanoparticles exposure significantly increased the liver total superoxide dismutase ( T-SOD ) activity and the kidney reduced glutathione (GSH)/oxidized glutathione (GSSG) ratios in young rats, and significantly decreased the liver Mo, Co, Mn and P contents and the kidney Rb and Na contents in young rats .200 mg/kg TiO2 nanoparticles exposure significantly increased GSH/GSSG ratios and Rb contents and decreased Na con-tents in the liver of adult rats .No significantly difference was found in antioxidant indexes and elements content in the kidney of adult rats between three experimental groups and control group .Conclusion:TiO2 nanoparticles can enhance the antioxidant capacity and decrease the elements content in rat liver and kidney tissues .The liver is the more sensitive target organ and the young animals are more susceptible to TiO2 nanoparticles toxicity by the oral routes .

Objective To explore the relation between the Integrin alpha 2 (ITGA2)-807 C/T gene and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Han nationality in northern part of Guangxi. Methods 206 patients with type-2 diabetes were selected from the hospital. According to the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) standards, 206 patients with type-2 diabetes were divided into diabetes without diabetic nephropathy (T2DM) and DN group, and 90 healthy people were selected as normal control (NC) group. The plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels were measured by routine method.And the genotypes and allele frequencies distribution were assessed by Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length Polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results compared with the control group,plasma total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG) and low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) levels in DN group blood were significantly higher (P < 0.05). ITGA2 gene - 807 - c/T genotype distribution and allele frequency in DN group were statistically significant (P<0.05). CT+TT genotypes and T allele frequency in DN group were significantly higher than control group (P<0.05).The relative risk for DN in subjects carrying T allele was 1.72 times of that in the C allele carriers(OR = 1.72, 95% CI = 1.72 ~ 2.517). And compared with control group and the DN group, ITGA2 gene-807-c/T genotype distribution and allele frequency differences in T2DM group had no statistical significance (P > 0.05). Conclusions The polymorphism of ITGA2-807C/T gene is associated with the development of DN in Han nationality in northern part of Guangxi. The T allele may be a genetic susceptibility genes for DN, which may promote the level of TC high expression and increase the risk of DN.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic performances of seven estimation formulas for glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in pre-operative patients with renal cell carcinoma.Methods A total of 386 pre-operative patients with renal cell carcinoma in the first affiliated hospital of Chongqing medical university from January 2012 to October 2014 were selected.All the patients' GFRs were measured by the renal dynamic imagingwith 99mTc-DTPA as reference (rGFR) and the seven GFR estimation equations (eGFR) were compared with the rGFR respectively.Their correlations and consistencies were observed with spearman correlation analysis and Bland and Altman analysis.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and likelihood ratios were calculated and the eGFR accuracies were assessed with receiver operator curve (ROC) analysis.Results The correlations between the rGFR and eGFRs were significantly (P＜0.001).In addition,CKD-EPI-Asian Crea and Ruijin formula were more accurate than others in different stages with larger ROC area in diagnosing renal cell carcinoma.Conclusion There were significant correlations between the eGFRs and rGFR,but some deviations existed.CKD-EPI-Asian Crea and Ruijin formula were more suitable for assessment of eGFR of pre-operative patients with renal cell carcinoma.However,both of these equations had a few limitations.
