Objective To discuss the clinical effect of normal saline flushing and heparinized saline flushing in invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring in the critical patients. Methods A total of 140 critical patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 70 cases in each group according to the envelope method. The experimental group used normal saline for tube flushing, the control group used heparinized saline (5 U/ml) for tube flushing. The incidence of complications and coagulation index were compared between two groups. Results There was no statistically difference in the incidence of the catheter jam and local infection (P>0.05). The incidence of bleeding events was 14.3% (10/70) in the control group, which was higher than 2.9% (2/70) of the experimental group. The difference was statistically significant(χ2=4.466, P<0.05). The activated partial thromboplastin time, prothrombin time of the control group were (32.22 ± 4.22) s, (11.56 ± 2.12) s, which were longer than (29.84 ± 3.64) s, (10.66 ± 1.48) s of the experimental group. And international normalized ratio of the control group was 1.12±0.14, which was higher than 1.03±0.20 of the experimental group. The difference was statistically significant (t values were-3.573,-2.912,-3.084, P <0.05). Conclusions The normal saline flushing liquid was more safer and reliable in the invasive arterial blood pressure monitoring.

Objective To improve the understanding of blastic plasmacytoid dendric cell neoplasm (BPDCN). Methods The clinicopathological features of 2 cases with BPDCN diagnosed in the Department of Pathology in Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College were analyzed retrospectively. The relevant literatures were reviewed as well. Results The two BPDCN patients were both elderly men with skin nodules. The tumor cells infiltrated diffusely into the whole dermis with sparing the epidermis. BPDCN cells were small to medium size with round or oval irregular nuclei and small nucleoli. Numerous mitoses figures were seen. Immunohistochemistry stain showed that CD4 and CD56 were positive and CD20 and CD3 were negative in the 2 BPDCN cases. Only 1 case was positive for CD123. Conclusions BPDCN is a rare malignant hematopoietic tumor, which is likely to involve skin. The features of morphology and immunophenotype are crucial to make correct diagnosis.

Objective:To explore the expression of IL-22 in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis,and to define the clinical sig-nificance of IL-22 cells for RA. Methods: A total of 50 RA patients, 15 OA patients and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. The proportion of Th22 cells in peripheral blood and synovial fluid( SF) of RA patients was detected by flow cytometry;the levels of IL-22 in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients were detected by ELISA. The clinical parameters of disease activity were assessed including ESR,RF,CRP,DAS28,anti CCP and the degree of bone erosions determined by X-rays. Pearson correlation analysis,t test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The proportion of Th22 cells in RA patients was higher than that of OA patients (t=2. 290 ,P=0. 021) and healthy controls(t=2. 524,P=0. 015). IL-22 levels in RA patients were higher than that of OA patients (t=2. 560,P=0. 014) and healthy controls(t=2. 768,P=0. 009). IL-22 in the RF positive group were higher than that of RF negative group(t=2. 322,P=0. 035). IL-22 in the anti-CCP antibody positive group were higher than that of anti-CCP antibody negative group (t=2. 504,P=0. 015). The levels of IL-22 were correlated positively with ESR,RF,DAS28(r=0. 312,0. 314,0. 332,P<0. 05). The levels of IL-22 were increased gradually along with the aggravation of bone erosions. There were statistical significant difference among different X-ray stagings(H=9. 14,χ20.05(3)=7. 81,H> χ20.05(3),P<0. 05). Serum IL-22 levels in the RA patients with joint effusion were higher than that of without(t=2. 587,P=0. 012). The levels of IL-22 in SF were higher than that in serum(t=2. 668,P=0. 011),and had no correlation with the proportion of Th22 cells in SF. Conclusion: The expression of IL-22 in serum and joint effusion of RA patients increase. The level of IL-22 may be useful marker for assessment of disease activity and finding of bone erosions. Therapeutic targeting of IL-22 may be valuable for the intervention of RA.
