Objective To analyze the safety and effect of non-invasive pressure support ventilation in 32 patients by using a helmet and to give the appropriate way of patients who need non-invasive ventilation ( NIV) support after congenital heart disease surgery. Methods Patients over one year old after congential heart disease surgery were admitted in our Department of Cardiovascular Thoracic Surgery from July 2015 to December 2015. Patients who get clinically improved within one hour were divided into the early improved group( Group-E) ,otherwise they were classified to non-early improved group( Group-NE) . The general infor-mation,diagnosis, indication of NIV, ICU and hospital stay, complications, and mortality were collected. Results Thirty-two patients were engaged in this study,including 18 patients(56. 25%) in Group-E and 14 patients(43. 75%) in Group-NE. Patients who got improved in the first hour might have a higher incidence of avoiding reintubation[83. 33%(15/18) vs. 42. 86%(6/14),P=0. 02]. The heart rate,respiratory rate, pH,PaO2/FiO2 and lactate were improved in Group-E compared with Group-NE after the first hour by using helmet. At the end of NIV,the oxygenation showed no difference but the PaCO2 was lower in Group-E. In Group-E,the values showed a trend of improvement,while the values in Group-NE showed not only no statis-tical significance in different time points but also seemed to have a tendency of hypercapnia and reduced com-fort behavior scale in the end of NIV. There were 6 cases in Group-E and 10 cases in Group-NE developed ventilation associated pneumonia with the incidence of 33. 33%(6/18) and 71. 43%(10/14),respectively, which was significant difference (χ2 =4. 571,P =0. 03). The total duration of mechanical ventilation of Group-E was shorter than that of Group-NE [ ( 136. 72 ± 151. 49 ) h vs. ( 252. 79 ± 155. 33 ) h, P <0. 05 ] . Conclusion NIV through a helmet in children could be well tolerated and avoid re-intubation. Patients who get improved earlier may have more clinical advantages,such as less time of mechanical ventilation and lower incidence of postoperative complications. Early improvement can be considered as a valuable indicator wheth-er the patient needs to use NIV continuously.

This article was aimed to study anti-inflammatory effects of petroleum ether extract from Citrullus lanatus vine (PEECLV) and explore the mechanism. The methods of ear swelling with xylene, increasing of peritoneal capil-lary permeability, and paw edema with egg albumin were used in the establishment of mice models, respectively. Granuloma with cotton pellet, and paw edema with carrageenan were used in the establishment of rat models, re-spectively. Observation was made on anti-inflammatory effects of PEECLV. The content of nitrous oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS), as well as the level of TNF-α and IL-1β in blood serum were measured among granu-loma with cotton pellet rat models. Contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), 5-HT, histamine (His), and protein in inflammatory exudates from the paw edema with carrageenan rat model, as well as contents of NO and NOS in blood serum, and activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were measured in order to study the possi-ble anti-inflammatory effects. The results showed that PEECLV can suppress the ear swelling with xylene, the in-creasing of peritoneal capillary permeability, and the paw edema with egg albumin in mice, as well as granuloma with cotton pellet, paw edema with carrageenan in rats. It had anti-inflammatory effects at different degrees. The content of NO and NOS, as well as the level of TNF-α and IL-1β in blood serum were reduced in granuloma with cotton pellet rat models. The content of MDA, PGE2, 5-HT, His, and protein content were reduced in inflammatory exudates from the paw edema with carrageenan rat model. The increasing of NO and NOS in blood serum was inhib-ited. And the activity of SOD was increased. It was concluded that PEECLV had certain anti-inflammatory effects. Its mechanism may be related to the influence of the production of inflammatory mediators and antioxidant.

This article was aimed to study the effect of polyphenols fromRubus suavissirnusS. Lee (RSLP) on spontaneous hypertensive rats (SHR) and to explore its mechanism of anti-hypertensive. The water extraction of RSLP was prepared. And the polyphenols was extracted with macroporous resin. The non-invasive blood pressure analysis system was used to detect the blood pressure. SHR model was selected to study the anti-hypertensive effect. The 16 normal Wistar rats were randomly divided into the control group and the normal RSLP high-dose group (RSLP-NH). The 40 SHR were randomly divided into the model group, Captopril group, RSLP-L group, RSLP-M group and RSLP-H group. SBP, DBP, HR, body weight and organ index were observed after the drug administration for 8 weeks and drug withdrawal for 2 weeks. The contents of SOD, MDA, GSH-Px, NO, NOS and ANP in serum were measured. The results showed that the blood pressure of SHR was significantly higher than that of the control group, which can be used for anti-hypertensive studies. Each RSLP group can obviously reduce the SBP and DBP of SHR (P < 0.05), but it had no effect on HR (P > 0.05). RSLP can elevate GSH-Px, SOD levels and reduce the activity of MDA (P < 0.05). RSLP can reduce NO, NOS and ANP contents in serum (P < 0.05). It was concluded that RSLP can significantly reduce the SBP and DBP of SHR, but it had no significant effect on HR. It can increase the activity of GSH-Px, SOD, NO, NOS levels, and reduce the contents of MDA, ANP in serum. It had certain inhibitory effect on the left ventricular hypertrophy.

Objective:To explore the distribution of pelvic lymph node (PLN) metastasis and the correlative dangerous factors in early cervical cancer patients.Methods:The medical records of 508 patients who underwent extensive hysterectomy and lymphadenectomy for International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage Ⅰb-Ⅱb cervical cancer in Guizhou Provincial People`s Hospital were reviewed retrospectively.Results:There were 278 patients with stage Ⅰb cervical cancer, 204 patients with stage Ⅱa cervical cancer and 26 patients with stage Ⅱb cervical cancer; the positive rate of lymph node metastasis was 16.7%(85/508), and obturator lymph node metastasis was the most common (56.6%); there were 19 patients with bilateral lymph node metastasis, accounting for 22.35%(19/85); lymph node metastasis occurred 104 times (two times for bilateral simultaneous transfer), and jumping lymph node metastasis accounted for 37.5%(39/104); common iliac lymph node metastasis accounted for 18.3%(19/104). The metastasis rate of patients with stage Ⅱa and Ⅱb (including parametrial, lymph node, ovarian and oviduct metastasis) was higher than that of patients with stage Ⅰb, and the odd ratio ( OR) was 2.30 and 2.48 respectively ( P<0.05); the metastasis rate of patients with moderately differentiated tumors was significantly higher than that of patients with well differentiated and poorly differentiated tumors ( P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the positive rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis among patients with different ages and histological types ( P>0.05); the positive rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with stage Ⅱa and Ⅱb was higher than that in patients with stage Ⅰb with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05); the positive rate of pelvic lymph node metastasis in patients with moderately differentiated tumors was higher than that in patients with well differentiated and poorly differentiated tumors, with statistically significant difference ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Obturator lymph node metastasis is the most common in cervical cancer. The risk of lymph node metastasis is increased in patients with stage Ⅱa or moderately differentiated tumors. Jumping metastasis is also a common way of metastasis, which suggests that standard and complete lymph node resection is an important measure to ensure the curative effect.
