Objective To explore the effect of single blood perfusion combined with blood perfusion combined with continuous venous venous blood filtration (sequential blood purification) on myocardial injury in patients with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning.MethodsRetrospectively analyzed in July 2013 to July 2015 treated in our hospital see a doctor and a total of 94 patients with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning, depending on the patient's blood purification scheme, divided the patients into blood perfusion group (n=48) and sequential blood purification group (n=46), contrast after treatment on two groups of clinical curative effect, the condition of myocardial spectrum index and its complications.ResultsAfter treatment, blood perfusion group of left ventricular ejection fraction was (53.8±5.8)%, sequential left ventricular ejection fraction after blood purification treatment group was (58.1±3.4)%, both have obvious difference, has statistics meaning (P<0.05).In terms of myocardial enzyme spectrum index, and sequential blood purification group is obviously better than the index of myocardial enzymes in patients with blood perfusion group (P<0.05).The incidence of complications in patients with sequential blood purification group were lower than the blood perfusion group (P<0.05).ConclusionThe joint continuity venous blood perfusion-blood purification scheme of vein hemofiltration treatment of patients with severe acute organophosphorus pesticide poisoning can significantly improve treatment effect.

Objective To investigate the clinical pathological features and imaging findings of primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma. Methods Fifteen patients with a pathologically verified primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma were reviewed retrospectively. Fourteen patients had CT examinations and I0 of them had contrast-enhanced CT scan. Nine patients had chest plain films. Results Of 15 patients, 14 were peripheral and 1 was central, diameters ranging from 2.5 cm to 9.5 cm. Five located in the upper, 3 in the middle and 4 in the lower lobe of the right lung. The other 3 located in the upper left lobe. All cases presented with a spheroid solid lung mass on chest plain film and CT examinations. Three had irregular eccentric cavities. Six were well demarcated, 2 were ill defined, 4 were lobulated and 3 were speculated. The central case had obstructive pneumonia and showed ill defined. Ten showed irregular peripheral heterogeneous contrast enhancement. The center part of the tumor showed no enhancement or inhomogeneous enhancement. Seven had thoracic wall or pleural invasion, 4 had hilar or mediastinal lymphopathy and 2 had metastasis. Histopathologically, 8 were pleomorphic carcinoma, 2 were spindle cell carcinoma, 3 were giant cell carcinoma and 3 were pulmonary blastomas. Conclusion The X-ray and CT findings of the primary pulmonary sarcomatoid carcinoma are not specific. The clinicopathologic features were the evidence of diagnosis.

Objective To observe the effects of tacrolimus on blood glucose, insulin, expressions of protein phos-phatase 2A and P-AKT in rats in order to explore the mechanism of hyperglycemic action of tacrolimus. Methods Sixty male SD rats (body weight 89. 83 ±4. 44 g) were randomly divided into tacrolimus group (n =40) and control group (n=20). The rats in the tacrolimus group were administrated with tacrolimus 4 mg/kg daily. The rats in the control group were given the same amount of normal drinking water daily. The rat body weight, fasting blood glucose concentration and blood concentration of tacrolimus were measured monthly. All rats were killed at 5 months after the tacrolimus administra-tion. The serum insulin levels were detected by radioimmunoassay method. The expressions of PP2A and P-AKT in liver tissues were assessed by immunohistochemistry. Results After two months of administration, the blood glucose levels in the tacrolimus group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The HOMA-IR in tacrolimus group was signif- icantly higher than that in the control group P<0. 05 ) . ISI was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P<0. 05). Immunohistochemical examination showed that the expression of PP2A in hepatocytes in the tacrolimus group was increased compared with the control group, while expression of P-AKT in hepatocytes of the tacrolimus group was decreased than that in the control group. Conclusions Tacrolimus can induce necrosis of islet cells, decrease of the amount of islet cells and insulin secretion, decease of sensitivity to insulin, and increase the resistance to insulin, therefore, leading to in-crease the blood glucose level in rats. The expression of PP2A in hepatocytes in the tacrolimus group is increased, while the expression of P-AKT is decreased. Interfering of insulin signal transduction pathways may be involved in the hyperglyce-mic effects of tacrolimus.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of myeloperoxidase (MPO)in diagnosis of non-ST elevation acute cor-onary syndromes (NSTE ACS).Methods The MPO was determined in 61 unstable angina pectoris (UAP)patients and 54 non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTE MI)patients,then analyzed the data with receiver operationg characteristic curve (ROC curve)statistical software.The major adverse cardiac events (MACE)were obseved in 106 NSTE ACS patients through 1 year of follow-up.Results The MPO values of NSTE MI group and UAP group were 672±418 ng/ml and 459± 328 ng/ml,the difference was statistically significant (t=3.928,P <0.001).The cTnI values were 558±261 pg/ml and 405 ±278 pg/ml of respectively.The difference was statistically significant (t = 3.089,P = 0.003).The area under the ROC curve of MPO was 0.726 when the optimal cutoff value was 382 ng/ml in the diagnosis of NSTE MI.The sensitivity and specificity was 92.6% and 39.8%.The area under the ROC curve of cTnI was 0.799 when the optimal cutoff value was 484 ng/ml in the diagnosis of NSTE MI.The sensitivity and specificity was 65.5% and 92.3%.High MPO maintained a strong association with the risk of major adverse cardiac events through 1 year of follow-up.Conclussion MPO is ahigh sensitivity marker of the NSTE MI and of clinical value for prognosis of NSTE ACS.
