Objective To explore the mechanical ventilation in ICU patients with respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Methods 50 patients needed mechanical ventilation with respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension were randomly divided into two groups (each n = 25). On the basis of routine therapy, patients in noninvasive mechanical ventilation group received assistant breathing masks, and those in invasive mechanical ventilation group received tracheotomy or tracheal intubation. Blood gas analysis, plasma BNP levels, and pulmonary artery pressure before and 24 h after treatment were recorded. Results The arterial blood gas analysis index in the two groups 24 h after treatment were significantly improved (P < 0.05), especially in invasive mechanical ventilation group, so as the results of plasma BNP levels and pulmonary artery pressure (P < 0.05). Conclusions Invasive mechanical ventilation for ICU patients with respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension is relatively better than noninvasive mechanical ventilation treatment. BNP concentration can be decreased by Mechanical ventilation, especially by invasive mechanical ventilation.

Objective There is no enzyme multiplied immunoassay technique ( EMIT) reagent for therapeutic drug monito-ring ( TDM) in our country.The aim of this study was to compare the properties of self-developed kits and commercially imported kits in TDM, and to evaluate their feasibilities for routine TDM. Methods The sensitivities, accuracies and precisions of self-developed kits, Viva-E kit and AXSYM kits were evaluated by determining the quality control samples of carbamazepine, valproic acid and phe-nobarbital.Self-developed kits, Viva-E kit and AXSYM kits were employed to determine the concentrations of clinical serum samples of 83 cases of carbamazepine, 80 cases of valproic acid and 72 cases of phenobarbital separately, and the results were compared and analyzed. Results Recoveries of carbamazepine, valproic acid and phenobarbital were more than 90% for the three different kits. The recoveries of self-developed kits for the three drugs were in the range of 98.7%-103.9% and the limits of quantification of the self-developed kits for carbamazepine, valproic acid and phenobarbital were 2, 10, 5μg/mL, respectively.Precision was lower than 10%and its average relative deviation was less than 3%after single point correction.There were good correlations (R2>0.985) and no significant statistical difference between self-developed kits and AXSYM kits (P>0.05).Upper and lower 95%limits of agreement in Bland-Altman plots were (-1.32,1.26), (-15.24,15.17) and ( -3.69,3.00) for carbamazepine, valproic acid and phenobar-bital, respectively.About 5%of the points failed in the 95%confidence interval. Conclusion The self-developed kits showed good performance and are suitable for clinical use in TDM.

Objective To observe the effect of pravastatin on the expression of heat shock protein B7 (HSPB7) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rats. Methods A total of 80 AMI rats were randomly divided into AMI group and pravas-tatin (P) group. Forty SD rats were used as sham operation (SH) group. Rats were then subdivided into 1 h, 3 h, 6 h and 12 h subgroups (10 for each group). Rats were not ligated after thoracotomy in SH group. The 1eft anterior descending coronary ar-tery was ligated in rats of AMI group. The 1eft anterior descending coronary artery was ligated in P group and given intragas-tric administration of 0.5 mg/(kg · d) pravastatin. The other groups were given the same amount of normal saline via gavage. The left ventricle infarcted myocardial tissues were taken at each time intervals. The corresponding myocardial tissues were harvested in sham-operated rats. The HSPB7 mRNA and protein expressions were measured by RT-PCR and immunohisto-chemistry respectively.Results The expression levels of HSPB7 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in the AMI group and P group than those of SH group(P<0.01). The expression levels of HSPB7 mRNA and protein were significantly increased 1 h after AMI and reached the peak value at 3 h after AMI. The expression levels of HSPB7 mRNA and protein were still higher in 6-h group and 12-h group than those of SH group. The expression levels of HSPB7 were higher in differ-ent time points of P group than those of AMI group. Conclusion HSPB7 could express in the early stage of acute myocardi-al infarction in rats. Pravastatin could promote the upregulation of HSPB7 in myocardial infarcted border zone after AMI, which may play a protective role in early myocardial infarction.
