Objective To study the relevance between blood loss, widespread brain contusion injury and consumptive coagulopathy. Methods One hundred and fifty-three cases with severe brain injury was studied about their coagulation data. Analyzed the relationship between blood loss group according to ≥3000 ml and ＜ 3000 ml and coagulation features, the relationship between widespread brain contusion injury and disorder of coagulation;according to whether with brain contusion injury,kinds of bloods transplant and prognosis were asseseed;according to whether with widespread brain contusion injury in ≥ 3000 ml blood loss group,kinds of bloods transplant and prognosis were assessed. Results Compared with ＜ 3000 ml blood loss patients, ≥ 3000 ml patients' blood coagulation changed obviously, with PT prolonging, Fbg and Plt decreasing, the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Compared with no extensive brain contusion injury patients, in extensive brain contusion injury patients, APTT, PT, TT prolonged, Fbg and Plt decreased,and the difference was statistically significant (P ＜0.05). Extensive brain contusion injury patients with blood loss compared with those without such loss, needed more blood transfusion volume,larger amount of input of fresh frozen plasma Plt volume,the former survival rate was lower [68.29%(28/41)vs. 96.43%(108/112)], the difference between them was statistically significant (P＜ 0.05 ). In 41 patients who had brain widespread contusion ,the cases with extensive blood loss ( ≥ 3000 ml) were compared with those ＜ 3000 ml, and the differences in blood transfusion treatment, fresh frozen plasma, Plt volume,survival rate were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion When blood loss ≥ 3000 ml after trauma,patients show various degrees of coagulopathy,and when accompanied with extensive brain tissue injury,coagulation disorders are more obvious, and the prognosis is even worse.

Objective To observe the feasibility and safety of self-made extended endobronchial tube applicated in one-lung ventilation for radical resection of esophageal cancer.Methods 80 patients were randomly divided into two groups:self-made extended endobronchial tube group (group A) and double-lumen endobronchial tube group (group B).The degree of lung collapse,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,heart rate,airway pressure (Paw),arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2),arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide(PaCO2),arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) were monitored.The time for insertion,rate of successfully intubation for single time,incidence of postoperative hoarseness and sore throat were recorded.Results There were no significant differences in degree of lung collapse,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure and heart rate,SaO2 in the two groups(all P＞0.05).The comparison of the time for insertion between the two groups:(1.5±0.4)min vs.(2.6±0.8)min(t=4.78,P＜0.05);rates of successfully intubation for single time:95.0％ vs.80.0％(χ2=5.19,P＜0.05).The comparison of Paw between the two groups:T1:(17.3±1.1)cmH2O vs.(22.5±0.9)cmH2O,t=4.613,P＜0.05;T2:(17.9±0.5)cmH2O vs.(23.6±1.4)cmH2O(t=5.438,P＜0.05);T3:(18.1±0.8)cmH2O vs.(24.6±1.2)cmH2O(t=3.741,P＜0.05).The comparison of blood gas during one-lung ventilation between the two groups:PaO2(281.5±53.4)mmHg vs.(187.6±48.8)mmHg(t=5.28,P＜0.05);SaO2(98.1±6.3)％ vs.(94.5±5.7)％(t=3.46,P＜0.05);PaCO2(31.2±3.6)mmHg vs.(37.6±4.1)mmHg(t=6.32,P＜0.05).The comparison of incidence of postoperative hoarseness:1case vs.6cases(χ2=5.91,P＜0.05);The comparison of incidence of sore throat:4cases vs.13cases(χ2=6.13,P＜0.05).Conclusion Single-lung ventilation has achieved via either the double lumen tube or the self-made extended endobronchial tube.However,the self-made extended endobronchial tube is recommended for single-lung ventilation because of the advantages of its easy intubation and position,full oxygenation,low Paw,less incidence of postoperative hoarseness and sore throat.Self-made extended endobronchial tube can be used as a one-lung ventilation method in its indications.

Objective To explore the reasonable dose of hydromorphone hydrochloride in the elderly patients after hip surgery. Methods 120 cases of elderly patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty in Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from April 2016 to July 2016 were divided into six groups randomely,with 20 cases each group,they were 0.020,0.035,0.050,0.065,0.080 and 0.095mg/mL group,the corresponding concentrations of HYD were given to each group after surgery,blood rheology, inflammatory cytokine, VAS and Ramsay sedation scores were observed at different time points, Complications were recorded. Results One day and three days after operation,whole blood viscosity and whole blood reduced viscosity level of six groups were significantly increased (P<0.05),with the increase of the concentration of HYD,whole blood viscosity and whole blood reducing viscosity of each group decreased,compared with 0.020-0.050 mg/mL group,the 0.065-0.095 mg/mL group was lower (P<0.05).One day and three days after operation,the levels of inflammatory cytokines were increased in six groups (P<0.05),with the increase of the concentration of HYD,the level of inflammatory factors decreased,compared with 0.020-0.050 mg/mL group,the 0.065-0.095 mg/mL group was lower (P<0.05).The VAS scores of six groups were decreased in different degree with the prolongation of time, with the increase of the concentration of HYD,VAS at different time after operation decreased to some extent (P<0.05),compared with 0.020-0.035 mg/mL group,the 0.050-0.095 mg/mL group was lower (P<0.05). Ramsay sedation scores increased in 0.020-0.035mg/mL group and decreased in 0.065-0.095mg/mL group,but no significant change in 0.050mg/mL group. The incidence of adverse reactions was the lowest in the 0.050 mg/mL group. Conclusion HYD can be used for postoperative analgesia in elderly patients undergoing hip joint surgery,the concentration of HYD was correlated with the analgesic efficiency, and the recommended concentration was 0.050 mg/mL.

Background:Matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9)is known to play a key role in tumor invasion and metastasis by mediating the degradation of extracellular matrix. It has been revealed that neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin ( NGAL)is capable of protecting MMP-9 from degradation and thereby preserving its enzymatic activity. Aims:To explore the MMP-9 and NGAL levels in peripheral blood of gastric cancer patients and their clinical significance. Methods:Serum levels of MMP-9 and NGAL were determined by ELISA in 76 gastric cancer patients and 50 healthy controls. Correlations of serum MMP-9 and NGAL levels with clinicopathological features of gastric cancer were analyzed,and their diagnostic performance for screening gastric cancer was evaluated by ROC curve. Results:Serum levels of MMP-9 and NGAL in patients with gastric cancer were significantly higher than those in healthy controls(P<0. 01),and either of them was positively correlated with the TNM stage of gastric cancer. Furthermore,MMP-9 was correlated with lymph node metastasis and serosal invasion,while NGAL was correlated with distant metastasis. However,tumor differentiation was not correlated with either MMP-9 or NGAL. By ROC curve,608. 19 ng/mL and 14. 71 ng/mL were identified as the cutoff value of serum MMP-9 and NGAL,respectively,for screening gastric cancer. Sensitivity and specificity of MMP-9 were 64. 5% and 90. 0%,and those of NGAL were 85. 5% and 90. 0%,respectively. When parallel test was taken,the sensitivity would be increased to 94. 7% and specificity being 82. 0%. Conclusions:Serum levels of MMP-9 and NGAL are elevated and associated with tumor progression in patients with gastric cancer. Both of them might be used as potential markers for screening,disease assessment and prognosis prediction of gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the psychological conditions and the quality of life of premenopausal breast cancer patients. Methods 5 Level-Three Grade-I hospitals in Beijing were selected to conduct outpatient surveys on premenopausal breast cancer patients who returned for further consultation between October 2010 to September 2012. Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) as well as Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Breast (FACT-B) were used. Investigated breast cancer patients were divided into two groups: long-term condition group (more than 3 years after surgery) and short-term condition group (less than 3 years after surgery).Differences between the two groups in SAS, SDS and FACT-B were compared. Results 65 quality questionnaires returned, including 35 from the long-term condition group and 30 from the short-term condition group. The scores of SAS and SDS were significantly lower in the long-term condition group than in the short-term condition group (P<0.001). The scores of FACT-B was significantly higher in the long-term condition group than in the short-term condition group (P<0.001). Conclusion The breast cancer patients more than 3 years after surgery are in better psychological status and quality of life.

BACKGROUND:Human amniotic epithelial cells have some properties of stem cells, which can be induced to differentiate into corneal epithelial cells, but cannot be tracedin vitro. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility and infection efficiency of adenovirus vector carrying enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) into the human amniotic epithelial cells. METHODS:The adenovirus vectors carrying EGFP was transferred into human amniotic epithelial cells culturedin vitro. After cultured and amplified, the morphology difference between transfected and non-transfected human amniotic epithelial cels was observed. The transfected human amniotic epithelial cells were observed under fluorescence microscope, and the cell cycle and the expression rate of EGFP in transfected human amniotic epithelial cells were detected by flow cytometry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:No obvious difference in the cell morphology was found between transfected human amniotic epithelial cells and normal human amniotic epithelial cells cultured in vitro. Flow cytometry analysis revealed that the EGFP positive rate was highest and reached up to 99.01% at 48 hours after transient transfection. The cell cycle of human amniotic epithelial cells transfected by the adenovirus vector was slowed a bit. To conclude, the adenovirus vector is a good medium of transfecting EGFP into human amniotic epithelial cells, and makes it more convenient to observe the further transformation of human amniotic epithelial celsin vitro.
