Objective To compare the effect of pressure regulated biphasic positive airway pressure ventilation(BiPAP) and airway pressure release ventilation(APRV) on cardiopulmonary function of pigs with or without acute lung injury. Methods after anaesthesia, 18 healthy pigs were given BiPAP or APRV ventilation through tracheotomy. Inspiration pressure and expiration pressure in BiPAP equal to APRV. Inspiration time and expiration time is 1.5/2.5s in BiPAP and 4.0/2.0s, 4.5/1.5s, 5.0/1.0s, 5.5/0.5s in APRV respectively. Respiration dynamics, hemodynamics, blood gases and oxygen metabolize scales were measured during two mechanical ventilatory modalities pigs acquired from Swam-gans catheter in internal jugular vein and from catheter in femoral artery. Then oleic-induced acute lung injury model was made, modalities pigs were distributed to BiPAP group (n=9) and APRV group (n=8) randomly. Forenamed scales were repeat measured. Results BiPAP has not difference with APRV on respiration dynamics, hemodynamics, blood gases and oxygen metabolize during normal condition, BiPAP has higher cardiac output (CO) and lower oxygen extraction ratio (O2ER) compare with APRV in ALI pigs. If expiration time is short to 0.5s in APRV, it would represent intrinsic peak end-expiratory (PEEPi), heart rate (HR), mean pulmonary arterial pressure (MPAP) and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) increased and CO decreased. Conclusion Both BiPAP and APRV are beneficial in ALI, but BiPAP has fewer side-effect compared with APRV in early ALI.

Objective To investigate the approaches and effect of Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation in treatment of posttraumatic clubfoot in children.Methods The study involved 40 cases (43 feet) of posttraumatic clubfoot treated with Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation including soft-tissue releases (26 cases,28 feet) or osteotomies (14 cases,15 feet)from January 2006 to June 2012.Scoring system of intemational clubfoot study group (ICFSG) including aspects of functional assessment (36 points),morphology (12 points) and radiological assessment (12points) were employed before and after surgery.Results All the cases were available to the follow-up of 0.5-6 years.ICFSG score was excellent in 28 feet,good in 10,fair in four and poor in one foot,with excellent-good rate of 88％.This suggested the good correction of posttraumatic clubfoot,satisfactory weight-bearing exercise and a low relapse rate.Conclusions Conservative open operation brings large trauma and poor results in treatment of posttraumatic clubfeet in children,while Ilizarov invasive distraction technique is probable to offset those weak points.Therefore,Ilizarov external fixators combined with limited operation is an effective treatment.

Objective:To investigate the role of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) in molecular mechanism of experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE). Methods: Seventy-eight healthy female Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(n=26): rats in control group received no treatment; rats in EAE group were induced with complete Freund's adjuvant and Guinea pig spinal cord homogenate(CFA-GPSCH); and rats in pyrrolidine-dithiocharbamate (PDTC) group received PDTC (100 mg/kg), a specific inhibitor of NF-kB, 1 h before and after(once a day for 7 d) CFA-GPSCH treatment. HO-1 mRNA expression were analyzed with reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) on 1 d,7 d,14 d,and 21 d after EAE induction, respectively. The relationship between HO-1 and symptoms of EAE was also investigated. Results: The expression of HO-1 mRNA was very low in the brains of the control group (0.27?0.05), whereas enhanced gradually with onset and development of EAE in EAE group, peaked on d 7 (1.11?0.12), kept at a high level till d 14(1.06?0.18) and decreased on d 21 (0.37?0.1). HO-1 mRNA expression change was in parallel with severities of EAE. In PDTC group,the EAE symptoms were mitigated markedly and the expression of HO-1 mRNA reduced noticeably compared with that of EAE group. Conclusion: Brain HO-1 mRNA expression may play an important role in the pathogenesis of EAE,and application of some inhibitors of NF-kB may be one of the potential therapies for prevention and treatment of EAE.

BACKGROUND: The understanding about characteristics and variation trends of cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes in high-risk stroke population,in prior and post-stroke period patients as well as in normal people,particularly the cerebral vascular hemodynamic index(CVHD) prior to stroke can improve diagnosis efficiency of stroke and increase sensitivity and specificity of stroke diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To study the features of CVHD in acute stoke,in order to provide evidences for early evaluation and rehabilitation intervention.DESIGN: Case analysis and observational study based on patients.SETTING: A neurological department in a general hospital of military area command of Chinese PLA and a prevention and cure institute of cerebrovascular diseases.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 55 (male 38,female 17) inpatients in the Neurological Department of Fuzhou General Hospital of Chinese PLA from June to December 2001 were enrolled in the study.METHODS: CVHD was measured during the first week after onset and the data were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The CVHD,blood pressure and cerebral vascular hemodynamic parameters.RESULTS: The CVHD of each patient is below 75,median 32.5. The mean velocity,blood flow,maximum velocity,minimum velocity and difference between diastolic and critical pressures were lower than corresponding ones of healthy men in seventies( P ＜ 0.01 ). And the pulse wave velocity,peripheral resistance,specific impedance and critical pressure increased( P ＜ 0. 01).CONCLUSION: During the first week after stroke,the CVHD decreases and many hemodynamic parameters alters significantly. Examination of CVHD can reveal cerebral circulation insufficiency or predict an attack of cerebral stroke.

Of all the patients, 177 underwent modified systematic biopsy, named TRUS group, 217 patients accepted pre-biopsy bpMRI examination, undergoing modified systematic biopsy if Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) score < 3 or MRI-TRUS cognitive fusion targeted prostate + systematic biopsy if PI-RADS score ≥ 3, named MRI group. The median age of TRUS group was 66 (61, 74) years old, prostate specific antigen (PSA) was 9.52 (7.26, 12.30) ng / ml, and prostate volume (PV) was 36.84 (28.95, 57.72)ml. The median age of MRI group was 66 (59, 72) years old, PSA was 8.84 (6.65, 12.16) ng/ml, and PV was 39.45 (29.25, 58.69)ml. There was no difference in above parameters between the two groups. The χ 2 test was used to compare the detection rate of prostate cancer and clinically significant prostate cancer (CsPCa) between the two groups. Results:There was no significant difference in the detection rates of prostate cancer between TRUS group and MRI group [51.41% (91/177) vs. 48.39% (105/ 217), P = 0.550], but the detection rates of CsPCa were significantly different [26.55% (47/177) vs. 36.41% (79/217), P = 0.037]. In patients with PSA ≤ 10 ng / ml, there was no significant difference in the detection rates of prostate cancer between the two groups [43.62% (41/94) vs. 43.08% (56/130), P = 0.936], but there was a significant difference in the detection rates of CsPCa [17.02% (16/94) vs. 28.46% (37/130), P = 0.047]. There was no significant difference in the detection rates of prostate cancer [60.24% (50/83) and 56.17% (48/87), P= 0.504] and the detection rates of CsPCa [37.35% (31/83) vs. 48.28% (42/87), P = 0.150] between the two groups. The total detection rates of the last two needles in TRUS group and MRI group were 23.16% (41/177) and 36.63% (86/217), respectively, with significant difference ( P=0.001); the detection rates of CsPCa in the last two needles were 11.86% (26/177) and 29.03% (63/ 217), respectively, with significant difference ( P < 0.001). In MRI group, the detection rates of prostate cancer in patients with PI-RADS score <3, 3, 4, 5 were 21.21% (7/33), 25.84% (23/89), 73.24% (52/71), 95.83% (23/24), respectively; the detection rates of CsPCa were 12.12% (4/33), 17.98% (16/89), 54.93% (39/71), 83.33% (23/24), respectively. Conclusions:In patients with PSA ≤ 20 ng / ml, prostate biopsy based on bpMRI may improve the detection of CsPCa, especially in patients with PSA ≤ 10 ng/ml.
