The results of the arterial blood study in 30 patients of cor pulmonale in acute exacerbation were reported.The study included gas analysis, and dominations of serum lactate,pyruvate, potassium,sodium and chlorine.All the items were determined simultaneously.The data demonstrated that when the arterial oxygen tension of the patients with cor pulmonale in acute exacerbation dropped below 60mmHg, the blood lactate concentration was most likely to show a rise, which was related not only to hypoxemia but also to alkalosis.Observations of the changes in concentration of blood lactate and pyruvate in some patients led us to believe that these changes were associated with the seriousness of the disease. Regular measurement of blood lactate and pyruvate concentrations might be helpful to judge the condition of the patient. Persistent rise in blood lactate concentraion suggested poor prognosis.

Objective To investigate postpartum blood lose of cesarean section (CS) within 24 hrs in Nanjing area Methods Stratified samples were collected from hospitals of different levels and located at different districts The amount of postpartum blood loss was precisely measured by methods of weight, volume and area Results There were 1 125 CS in a total of 4 171 deliveries The main indications for CS were cephalo pelvic disproportion, fetal distress, breech presentation, and there was 10 4% of CS without definite causes The average amount of blood loss was 520 ml in CS, which was far more than that in vaginal delivery ( n = 3 046) If postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) is defined as blood lose of 500ml or more, the incidence of PPH was 53 7%; if it is defined as 700 ml, the incidence was 19 8% Conclusions Cesarean section is an important cause of PPH, and CS without proper indication should be avoided It seems reasonable to defined the criteria of PPH in CS as 700 ml or more

OBJECTIVE:To observe the changes of mitochondrial membrane potential(MMP)at different time in the process of simvastatin-induced apoptosis of K562 cells.METHODS:K562 cells cultivated by routine method for 24h were treated in the 20? mol? L-1 simvastatin for 12,24,48,and 72h,respectively.And theh cell morphological changes were observed.Vitality of K562 cells was detected with MTT;flow cytometry were performed to detect cell apoptotic ratio and changes of mitochondrial membrane potential,and the detection results were compared with those in solvent control group.RESULTS:As compared with control group,the morphology changes of K562 cells such as karyopyconosis,nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic body emerged after treatment with 20? mol? L-1 simvastatin for 48h;the apoptotic ratio at 12,24,48,and 72h increased by(2.55? 0.35)%,(6.1? 0.35)%,(14.15? 0.42)%,and(30.70? 0.65)%,respectively;and the apoptotic ratio of K562 cells increased time-dependently.The cell membrane potential was decreased by(0.7? 0.24)%,(39.6? 4.80)%,(24.4? 2.45)%,and(6.0? 1.62)%,respectively,with that at 24h showing the highest decreasing rate.CONCLUSION:The change of MMP is the early events of apoptosis.The potential mechanism of K562 cells apoptosis induced by simvastatin might be related to the collapse of MMP.

Traced back to the one decade's development of research ethics in China,the author summarizes the current issues,such as: not sufficient implementing of informed consent,relatively loose review of IRB,IRBs lack ability to improve the review level and not provide much education opportunities to researchers,and not yet take account into the continuous review to the protocols approved before.By comparing the current issues of China and the conditions of U.S.in 1998,we can find some similarities exist,so we can learn from the lessons and experiences of the development of research ethics in the United and the other country,such as adding the model of region ethical review committee,instead of only institutional IRB.The author aims to point out some general ideas about research ethics capacity building,enforce training continuously,government pay much attention to IRB regulation and consider much on cultural elements,which are all bases for the road of sustainable development of research ethics in China.

Based on the peak value of power spectral density (PPSD) and corresponding frequency (CF), an approach that performs electroencephalogram (EEG) feature extraction during imaginary right and left hand movements was proposed. The data were gained from brain computer interface competition in 2003 provided by Graz University of Technology. The EEG signals between 8-16 Hz were decomposed by db3 wavelet packet at three levels. The PPSD and CF of electrodes C3 and C4 were defined as the EEG feature vectors and calculated respectively. The left and right hand motor imaginary tasks were distinguished by the time-variable linear classifier. The proposed method was applied to the test data for 140 trials. The satisfactory results were obtained with the highest classification accuracy 89.29%. The maximum mutual information was 0.622 8 bit, and the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) was 1.371 3. The PPSD and its CF on electrodes C3 and C4 between 8 and 16 Hz were coincident with event-related desynchronization (ERD) and event-related synchronization (ERS). This method is simple, quick, and promising for on-line brain computer interface system.

Objective To observe the effect of comfort care on psychological status and life quality of patients undergoing interventional treatment of coronary heart disease. Methods 86 cases patients with coronary heart disease were randomly classified into the observation group and the control group with 43 cases in each group. The observation group was treated with comfort care and the control group was treated with normal nursing. The psychological status and life quality between the two groups were compared. Results Compared with pre-nursing, not only physiological function, independence, spiritual beliefs, social relations and quality of life but also SAS and SDS in the observation group were significantly improved after nursing. However, there were no significant differences in the control group. Moreover, the scores of life quality and anxiety and depression were significantly better than those in the control group. Conclusions Comfort care on patients with coronary heart disease can improve anxiety and depression status, servicing satisfaction and life quality of patients.

ObjectiveTo find the mechanism of Heshouwuyin(HSWY) in anti-aging, so as to provide theoretical and experiment evidence for the application of HSWY. Methods50 eight-week female SD rats ( SPF degree)were used in this study. The rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:normal control group, 10 rats; model group,10 rats; HSWY anti-aging group, including low, middle and high dose group,10 rats in each group. The sub-acutely aging rats were made by ip injection of D-galactose for 60 days continually. The rats in HSWY groups were administered with various doses of intragastric HSWYduring D-galactose injection. The parameters of ovary levels of SOD,GSH-PX, TAOC were detected. ResultsThe MDA in ovaries of model rats was significantly higher than that of negative control group;while the SOD, GSH-PX, TAOC of model rats were significantly lower than negative control group.The MDA content in ovaries after taking HSWY was significantly lower than that of model rats; while the SOD, GSHPX,TAOC of the taking HSWY rats was significantly higher than that of model rats. ConclusionThe HSWY could increase antioxida tive activity of rat ovaries to stay D-galactose induced consenescence.

Objective To evaluate the effects of fasudil on neointima hyperplasia in rat carotid artery balloon-injury model,and explore the potential molecular mechanisms of this effect.Methods Totally 30 male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,balloon injury group,2.5 ml/kg fasudil intervention group,5 ml/kg fasudil intervention group,10 ml/kg fasudil intervention group.The intima-to media(I/M) area ratio of neointima was calculated at 14th day after operation; the protein expression of proliferating cell nuclear antigen(PCNA) was measured by immunohistochemical and the integrated optical density (IA) was calculated.As the marker of oxidative stress,the levels of 8-hydroxy-2'-dcoxyguanosine (8OHdG) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The expressions of phosphorylated and non phosphorylated Ras,mitogen activated protein kinase kinase (MEK1/2) and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/2) were measured by Western blot.Results The I/M ratios were (0.22 ± 0.01) in sham operation group,(2.71 ± 0.23) in balloon injury group,( 1.72 ±0.24)in 2.5 ml/kg fasudil intervention group,(1.23±0.11)in 5 ml/kg fasudil intervention group,(0.85±0.12)in 10 ml/kg fasudil intervention group.As compared with sham operation group,I/M area ratio was increased in balloon injury group,and three fasudil intervention group inhibited neointima hyperplasia in a dose-dependent manner (all P＜0.01).The IA indexes were(15.11 ±1.42),(53.42±2.30),(45.25±1.62),(22.55±0.88) and(19.61±0.79) in the above five groups,respectively,showing the fasudil inhibited PCNA expression (all P＜0.01).Fasudil also inhibited the levels of 8-OHdG and MDA in a dose-dependent manner [8OHdG:(54.34±4.50)μg/kg,(106.81 ± 6.67)μg/kg,(94.21 ± 3.34) μg/kg,(65.58 ± 5.13) μg/kg,(51.32 ± 2.34) μg/kg; MDA:(19.94 ± 0.65 ) μmol/kg,( 58.83 ± 2.81 ) μmol/kg,(48.94 ± 1.35 ) μmol/kg,(40.62 ± 3.24 )μmol/kg,( 36.85 ± 0.91)μmol/kg (all P＜0.01)].Compared with balloon injury group,the relative expressions of Ras in three fasudil intervention group were 0.49±0.12,0.39±0.13,0.20±0.23 vs.0.62±0.10(P＜0.05 or,P＜0.01); MEK1/2 0.35±0.14,0.29±0.09,0.11±0.12 vs.0.56±0.1(P＜0.05 or,P＜0.01); ERK1/2 0.48±0.15,0.32±0.08,0.12±0.09 vs.0.64±0.13(P＜0.05 or,P＜0.01).The activations of ERK1/2,MEK1/2 and Ras were strongly suppressed in fasudil treated samples on day 14 after balloon injury.Conclusions Blockade of oxidative stress and Ras MEK1/2 ERK1/2 pathway is involved in the fasudil attenuating of balloon injury-induced neointima hyperplasia
