Objective To investigate the correlation between mechanical ventilation (MV) initiation time during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the prognosis of patients with in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) in emergency . Methods Retrospective analysis of clinical records of patients with IHCA in emergency from January 2011 to April 2016 treated in Zhangye People's Hospital of Hexi University was performed. Patients with restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) and were on MV with aged over 18 years were divided into early treated group (≤ 10 minutes) and later treated group (> 10 minutes) according to the initiation time of MV. Corneal reflex, pupillary reflex, pain-avoidance responses and motor response 24 hours after CPR, neurological function and cure rate of the two groups were analyzed. Results 210 patients were selected into our study including 130 males and 80 females (mean age: 60.24±13.17 years). There were no significant differences in gender, age, type of heart rate and etiological factor of cardiac arrest (CA) between the MV early stage group (124 cases) and the MV late stage group (86 cases). The restoration of corneal reflex, pupillary reflex, pain-avoidance responses, motor response and achievement ratio of CPR in early group were higher than those of later group (respectively, 59.68% vs. 31.40%, 59.68% vs. 31.40%, 54.84% vs. 24.42%, 54.84% vs. 24.42%, 70.16% vs. 51.16%, all P < 0.01); The D-dimer levels in the early group patients were significantly lower than those in the later group (μg/L: 478.39±57.21 vs. 510.05±62.83, P < 0.01). However, no statistical difference was observed between the two groups with respect to pH (7.24±0.72 vs.7.13±0.67, P > 0.05); The average hospitalized day of the early group was significantly shorter than that of the later group (days: 24.15±3.04 vs. 30.28±4.17, P < 0.01); Besides, the early group showed a higher survival rate at discharge and had more cases with neurologic level of grade 1-2 than those of the later group (Respectively, 41.94% vs. 26.74%, P < 0.05; 44.35% vs. 15.12%, P < 0.01). Conclusion Initiation MV on IHCA patients in the early stage of CPR (≤ 10 minutes) could help improve the hypoxic condition and prognosis of neurological function, and increase the achievement ratio of CPR.

Biomaterials are commonly applied in regenerative therapy and tissue engineering in bone.Generally,nanoparticles interact distinctively with bone cells and tissue,depending on their com-position,size,and shape.Therefore,detailed analyses of nanoparticle effects on cellular functions have been performed to select the most suitable candidates for supporting bone regeneration.This review will highlight potential nanoparticle applications in bone.We found that mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) display exceptional regenerative potential.The delivery of genetic material with nanoparticulate carriers offers the possibility of overcoming certain disadvantages of standard protein delivery approaches.Moreover,nanoparticles are already clinically applied in cancer treatment.Thus,corresponding efforts could lead to new therapeutic strategies to improve bone regeneration or to treat bone disorders.

Primary immunodeficiency disease (PID) is a heterogeneous group of congenital disorders of the immune system.The impaired immune response is caused by defect of immune active cells and moleculars,which results in increased susceptibility to pathogens.Recurrent infection is the predominant presenting complaint for patients with PID.Early diagnosis,immunoglobulin replacement therapy,antimicrobial treatment,haematopoietic stem cell transplantation and gene therapy,genetic conselling and prenatal diagnosis will help to prevent and control infections in patients with PID.In addition,we should strengthen the education of paediatricians,improve awareness about PID and collaboration across different centers to advance the diagnosis and management of PID in China and save the life of patients at the maximum limit.

AIM:To study the protectective effect of bacalin on myocardial ischemia in isolated rat heart and its mechanism.METHODS:Thirty six Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups.The heart of rats in control group(n=12)were perfused for 1 h and 50 min incessantly.The heart of rats in ischemia group(n=12)received 25 min of perfusion first and then subjected to 25 min of global ischemia followed by 1 h reperfusion.The heart of rats in baicalin group(n=12)received 5 min perfusion of 5 mg/L)baicalin before ischemia while other procession was the same as ischemia group.The hemodynamic measurement and the coronary flow were recorded.The levels of CK and LDH in the coronary effluent were detected.The expression of p38mapk,NF-?B and the levels of TNF-? and IL-6 in myocardium were respectively detected by immumohistochemical technique and ELISA.RESULT:The function of hearts treated with baicalin was improved significantly,and the level of LDH and CK of coronary effluent were decreased significantly compared with ischemia group.The level of TNF-? and IL-6 and the expression of p38mapk and NF-?B in myocardium also decreased observably compared with ischemia group.CONCLUSION:Baicalin has a protective effect on myocardial ischemia of isolated rat heart and the effect may be due to the decrease of TNF-? and IL-6 induced by the reduction of the expression of p38mapk and NF-?B.

Macrophages are major effecter cells of nonspecific immune response,the polarization of which plays a great role in inflammation,repairing and angiogenesis.According to functional phenotypes,macrophages can be polarized to classically activated type (M1),which could promote angiogenesis,and alternatively activated type (M2),which could inhibit angiogenesis.The proportion of M1/M2 could modulate the growth of choroidal neovascularization (CNV).Under the conditions of aging and injury within the retina,macrophages may polarize to M2,which could generate several proangiogenic factors,initiating and promoting the formation of angiogenesis and fibrous scar.Therefore,regulation of macrophage polarization is expected to inhibit angiogenesis and provide new insight for treatment of CNV.
