Objective To study the effects of APBV (airway pressure release ventilation) / BIPAP(bipha-sic positive airway pressure) on lung recmitment/open maneuvers in piglets with acute lung injury. Method The model of acute lung injury (ALI) was induced by E. coll. intraperitoneal injection in piglets. Based APRV/BI-PAP model, the different pressure combinations (Phigh/Plow) of RMs increased gradually, such as RMI(30/15),RM2(35/20), RM3(40/25), RM4(45/30),RM5(50/35), RM6(55/40), RM7(60/45) cmH2O. The effects of stepwise RMs were studied by computed tomography (CT) at iaspiratory phase. Meantime the oxygen index (PaO2/FiO2), hemodynamic parameter and mean pressure of airway (Pmean) were continuously observed. The piglets were killed when RiMs finished and pulmonary pathological examination were done routinely by optical microscope. Data was analyzed by self-contrast method, using SPSS 11.5 software package. Results were expressed as mean ± standard deviation (x±s). Multiple comparisons were made with One-way ANOVA. Pearson correlative analysis was used to describe the relativity of PaO2/FiO2 and the collapsed alveolar area. Changes were considered as statistically significant if P value was less than 0.05. Results Eight piglets with ALl model were successfully made and all of them showed different degree of alveolar collapse under chest CT scan. During RMs their PaO2/FiO2 increased obviously (P<0.05) were decreased obviously (P<0.05) too, specially after RM2 finished (P<0. 05). But the alveolar over-inflatian could be found in some non-diseased area. The heart rate (HR) increased and mean artery blood pressure (MAP) decreased significantly while the pressure combinations (Phigh/Plow) of RMs were added gradual]y ( P<0.05). Meantime the Pmean and Ppeak inspiratory pressure (PIP) of airway and central venous pressure (CVP) were increased significantly ( P<0.05). But when RMs were finished,all of these indexes were hack to the levels of pre-RMs. Even there were no barowaumas happened, such as pneumothorax and pneumomedistinum, the alveolar overdistention and interruption of the alveolar separation still could be seen by pathologic examination. Conclusions RMs could be done well by APRV/BIPAP. Phigh/Plow (35/20cmH2O) would be the best pressure combination with more efficacy of RMs and less influence on hemodynamics,airway pressure indexes and others. When the effect of RMs was satisfied enough, setting Phigh/Plow to 30/15cmH2O for 20 mitt may maintain the good efficacy of RMs.

Objective Neuropsychiatric systemic lupus erythematosus ( SLE) is a common complication of SLE, whose path-ogenesis is not yet clear but associated with the alteration of cerebral blood flow ( CBF) in some studies.This study was to investigate the CBF alteration in SLE patients without overt neuropsychiatric symptoms by arterial spin labeling ( ASL) MRI. Methods Twenty-eight SLE patients without overt neuropsychiatric symptoms and 30 age-and sex-matched healthy controls underwent conventional MRI and ASL examinations, and all received such neuropsychologic tests as number connecting test-A ( NCT-A ) , digit symbol test ( DST ) , self-rating anxiety scale ( SAS ) , and self-rating depression scale ( SDS) .Independent sample-t test was used to detect the mean CBF in the whole brain, gray matter, and white matter of the SLE patients and healthy controls.The voxel-wise CBF maps of the two groups of subjects were further analyzed with the SPM8 software to compare the regional CBF between the two groups, followed by evaluation of the correlation between the regional CBF values and clinical markers. Results In comparison with the healthy controls, the SLE pa-tients showed significantly reduced CBF in the gray matter (40.5 ±3.7 vs 37.3 ±6.5, P=0.028) and the whole brain (38.0 ±3.5 vs 35.1 ±6.1, P=0.032), especially in the supplementary motor area and the adjacent middle cingulate, anterior cingulate, left medial frontal gyrus, left inferior frontal gyrus, and left insula (P<0.05, FWE corrected).The NCT-A score was negatively correlated with the CBF values of the left medial frontal gyrus (r=-0.402, P=0.032) and left inferior frontal gyrus (r=-0.382, P=0.045) of the SLE patients. Conclusion ASL and MRI showed significantly reduced cerebral blood flow in the SLE patient without overt neu-ropsychiatric manifestations, which was correlated with the change of the patient's cognitive function.

ObjectiveTo explore and analyze the effect of simulation-based learning combined with debriefing in neonatal resuscitation training.MethodsA total of 114 clinical medical staffs attended the neonatal resuscitation training course hold by Department of Neonatology, Quzhou Maternal and Child Health Hospital from November 2014 to May 2015, and were randomly assigned to observation (n=60) and control group (n=84) by coin tossing. Staffs in the observation group adopted to training skills with simulation-based learning combined with debriefing,while those in the control group were educated with traditional method. The examinations on theoretical knowledge were taken before and after the training. Operational exam and self-confident questionnaire for all staffs on each procedure taught in the course were taken at last. Scores of the exams and self-confident questionnaire were compared between the two groups witht-test and Mann-WhitneyU test.ResultsThe mean score of theoretical test rose up significantly after the training in both observation and control group (25.19±2.62 vs 20.17±3.71,t=7.725,P<0.01; 25.44±2.64 vs 18.90±4.27,t=11.170,P<0.01), but no difference was found in this score after the training between the two groups (t=0.492,P=0.624). The practical operation examination score in the observation group was higher than that in the control (34.05±1.34 vs 31.32±4.10,t=4.183,P<0.01). All questionnaires sent to the staffs were retrieved (100%), and the total values after the training in the observation group were higher than in the control (mean rank: 92.81 vs 57.99; rank sum:5 569 vs 4 872,Z=-4.96,P<0.01).ConclusionsSimulation-based learning combined with debriefing is a much more effective teaching methods for neonatal resuscitation training, which might quickly improve the resuscitation skills of clinical staffs.

Objective To investigate the in-stent restenosis after vertebral artery ostium stenting (VAOS),and to determine the risk factors for in-stent restenosis. Methods Respective analysis of clinical data of 775 cases received VAOS in Xuan Wu Hospital of Capital Medical University from Jan. 2006 to Dec. 2012. Severe stenosis of vertebral artery ostium were diagnosed by DSA,and followed-up by ultrasound. The risk factors were assessed by COX analysis for in-stent restenosis ≥50%. Results This study included 775 patients. Surgical success rate was 99. 87%(n=774),technique success rate was 99. 48%(n=771 ). Two patients had cerebral hemorrhage after operation,one of them was dead. Four patients had cerebral infarction. The mean follow-up period was 12 months. The restenosis rate was 35. 89%(234/652 ). 79. 91% of restenosis occurred within 12 months after operation. COX analysis showed the vessels diameter after stenting was the independent predictors of in-stent restenosis (P<0. 01). The in-stent restenosis rate of drug-eluting stents was lower than metal-bare stents (HR 0. 532,95%CI 0. 397-0. 713,P<0. 01). Conclusion The in-stent restenosis was peculiarly prone to the smaller vessels diameter after VAOS. Drug-eluting stents were superior to metal-bare stents in preventing in-stent restenosis.
