Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of minimally invasive evacuation of intracerebral hematoma in dog model of cerebral hemorrhage by using Purdy score, serum levels of neuron-specific-enolase (NSE) and numbers of perihematomal apoptotic cells. Method Twenty dogs were selected to prepoxe the model of cerebral hemorrhage, and they were randomly divided( random number) into minimally invasive treatment group and control group. Minimally invasive procedures were performed to evacuate the hematoma in minimally invasive treatment group in 6 hours after the models were established. The dogs of control group only received medical treatment. Purdy score and serum levels of neuron-specific-enolase were determined on 1,3,5,7 days after the evacuation of the hemotoma and apoptotic cells were counted after the dogs were sacrificed at 7 days after operation. All the results were compared with control group. Purdy score and serum levels of neuron-specific-enolase were compaired with variance analysis of repeated measurement design and apoptotic cells was compared with variance analysis of factorial design,the difference of the two groups showed with q test. P <0.01 showed the difference was significant. Results The Purdy scores in minimally invasive treatment group were 6.3 ± 1.702, 5.8 ± 1. 685,4.2 ± 1.762 and 4.1 ± 1.875 on 1,3,5 and 7 day after evacuation of the hematoma, significant difference was observed as compared with the control group(8.9 ± 1.632, 8.6± 1.342, 7.8±1.335, 7.9±1.468, P <0.01).The serum levels of neuron-specific-enolase were 0.632 ± 0.077, 0.721±0.771, 0.549±0.124 and 0.430 ±0.136 respectively in minimally invasive treatment group, while in the control group were 0.934 ± 0. 064, 0. 997 ±0.075, 0.986 ± 0.042, 0.874 ± 0.165, significant differences in serum levels of neuron-specific-enolase were found between the two groups(P < 0.01). The perihematomal apoptotic cells in minimally invasive treatment group(37.4 cells) was decreased significantly as compared with the control group(88.6 cells), with P < 0.01.Conclusions Minimally invasive procedures for evacuation of intracerbral hematoma might significantly reduce the neurological deficit score and decrease the serum neuron-specific enolase levels and numbers of apeptotic neurons.

This study was aimed to establish a method for assay of 4-terpineol, α-terpineol, bornyl acetate and methyl-n-nonylketone in Houttuynia cordata with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GS/MS) for the first time in order to provide experimental evidences for its quality control. Undecylen was analyzed quantitatively. GC/MS method was used in the content determination of 4 kinds of components in Houttuynia cordata. GC conditions were that the temperature was firstly increased to 70oC for 5 min, and then 5oC·min-1 to 140oC for 5 min. Then, the temperature was increased by 10oC·min-1 to 250oC for 10 min. The temperature of the injection port was 230oC. The carrier gas was high purity helium. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min-1. The split ratio was 10:1. The sample quantity was 1 μl. MS conditions were that the detector was MS, EI was 70ev, the temperature of four poles was 150oC, the temperature of ion source was 230oC. The results showed that there was good linearity of four components, which were 4-terpineol, α-terpineol, bornyl acetate and methyl-n-nonylketone obtained within the ranges of 6.492~129.84μg·min-1, 1.097~21.944 μg·min-1, 12.128~242.56 μg·min-1, and 84.76~169.52 μg·min-1, respectively. The average recoveries of the four components were 81.2%, 80.6%, 88.3%, and 84.6%, respectively. The RSDs were 1.5%, 2.3%, 1.1%, and 0.7%, respectively. It was concluded that the method was simple, sensitive, and easy to operate. The simultaneous measurement of multiple indexes on the component for quality evaluation of Houttuynia cordata can effectively reflect the quality of Houttuynia cordata. It can also be used in the quality assessment of fresh Houttuynia c ordate .

Objective:To investigate plasma levels of fibrinopeptide A(FPA)and platelet alpha-granule membrane glycoprotein 140(GMP-140), and to analyze the changes of coagulation activity in elderly patients with primary microvascular angina(PMVA).Methods:In this prospective case-control study, a total of 45 elderly patients(aged 60-80 years, 27 males and 18 females)admitted to our hospital from Jan.2019 to Dec.2020 were diagnosed as PMVA(as microvascular angina group)by clinical symptoms, electrocardiogram, dynamic electrocardiogram and coronary angiography.Forty-three age-and sex-matched elderly subjects who took a medical check-up and had no primary microvascular angina were included as the control group.Plasma levels of FPA, GMP-140 and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein were determined.The levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, platelet, fasting blood glucose, triglyceride, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein and low-density lipoprotein, uric acid, renal function and liver function were detected.Results:The FPA level was higher in the PMVA group than in the control group[(430.32±364.05)μg/L vs.(263.73± 118.29)μg/L, t=2.913, P<0.01]. There was no difference in GMP-140 level between the PMVA group and the control group[(5.78±3.92)μg/L vs.(6.95±1.91)μg/L, t=-1.790, P>0.05]. The high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level was higher in the PMVA group than in the control group[(3.33±5.70)mg/L vs.(0.81±0.86)mg/L, t=2.927, P<0.01]. Conclusions:Compared with the control group, the FPA level is significantly increased with elevated coagulation activity in patients with primary microvascular angina.The increased inflammatory state in the PMVA group might promote the occurrence and development of microvascular angina, but whether the inflammatory state promotes the enhancement of coagulation activity needs further study to confirm.

Objective To explore the predicted performance of cTnI for outcome or severity in children with sepsis.Methods 374cases of children with sepsis were collected in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in our hospital from August 2012to June 2015.The patients were dividided into the common sepsis group, severe sepsis group and sepsis shock group according to the sepsis severity, and improved group, uncured group and death group according to outcome, and the cTnI>0.01μg/mL group and the cTnI≤0.01μg/mL group according to the levels of cTnI.Data on cTnI, PCT, CRP, Cr, Lac, PaO2/FiO2, BUN, PT, INR, WBC and PLT were collected in this study.Results The level of cTnI was significantly higher in children with septic shock (P<0.05) .The level of cTnI in improved group was significantly lower than those of uncured group and death group (P<0.05) .The incidence of severe sepsis and septic shock in the cTnI>0.01μg/mL group was significantly significantly higher than that of the cTnI≤0.01μg/mL group.The levels of Lac, PT and INR in the cTnI>0.01μg/mL group were significantly higher than that of the cTnI≤0.01μg/mL group (P<0.05) .A positive correlation between the level of cTnI and Lac (r=0.324) , or PT (r=0.291) , or INR (r=0.340) were found in the study (P<0.05) .Conclusion Sepsis is prone to be associated with myocardial injury, which is related to the severity and prognosis of sepsis.Insufficient circulatory perfusion, metabolic imbalance and abnormal coagulation function may be the reasons for the rise of cTnI and myocardial injury in children with sepsis.

Objective:To investigate the value of the ratio of heparin binding protein (HBP) to albumin (ALB) in diagnosis and predict the severity of Kawasaki disease shock syndrome (KDSS).Methods:This study was a retrospective study. Pediatric patients with Kawasaki disease (KD) admitted to the Children's Intensive Care Unit and department of Pediatric Emergency Center of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2019 to May 2022 were enrolled. The HBP/ALB ratio was calculated according to HBP and serum ALB. The children were divided into three groups (low, medium, and high ratio groups) according to the median and upper and lower quartiles of the HBP/ALB ratio. The differences of each index among the three groups were compared. The receiver operating characteristic curves were drawn to evaluate the clinical value of the HBP/ALB ratio in diagnosis of KDSS and the severity of the disease.Results:A total of 111 cases were included in this study, including 28 cases in the low ratio group, 56 cases in the medium ratio group, and 27 cases in the high ratio group. There were 24 cases with coronary artery damage, 87 cases without coronary artery damage, 27 cases with abnormal ECG findings, and 17 children with KDSS (including 5 cases in the medium ratio group, and 12 cases in the high ratio group). The incidence of KDSS, coronary involvement, and abnormal electrocardiogram proportions in the high ratio group were significantly higher than those in the other two groups. Compared with low and medium ratio groups, the levels of cardiac troponin I, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide, lactate, stroke output variation, trends in thoracic fluid content, white blood cell count, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, and D-dimer levels were higher in the high ratio group, while ALB and blood sodium levels were lower in the high ratio group (all P<0.05). There was no significant difference in above indicators between the low and medium ratio groups (all P>0.05). The HBP/ALB ratio had a higher area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity (0.942, 0.882, and 0.883, respectively) in predicting KDSS compared to HBP alone (0.776, 0.842, and 0.670, respectively). Conclusion:The HBP/ALB ratio could reflect the severity of children with KD and has certain clinical value for prognostic evaluation.

Objective:To explore the clinical value of serum insulin combined with cardiac-related markers in evaluating the severity of sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE).Methods:The clinical data of 130 children with sepsis who admitted to the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit of Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2018 to December 2021 were analyzed retrospectively, and the differences of serum insulin and cardiac-related markers in children with sepsis and SAE were compared.Results:The levels of serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide in the SAE group were significantly higher than those in the non-SAE group ( P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in heart rate and lactic acid ( P>0.05). The levels of serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, N-terminal cerebral urine peptide and lactic acid in the death group were significantly higher than those in the survival group ( P<0.05), while the heart rate was not significantly different ( P>0.05). The area under ROC curve of serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide in predicting SAE were 0.841, 0.599, 0.700, and 0.667, respectively; in terms of judging the prognosis of sepsis, the area under ROC curve were 0.647, 0.669, 0.645, and 0.683, respectively; and in terms of judging the prognosis of children with SAE, the areas under the ROC curve were 0.509, 0.682, 0.666 and 0.555, respectively. Binary logistic regression equation was established with serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide: Y=8.153×NT-proBNP+1.704×CTnT-hs+27.121×insulin+0.946×CK-MB+1.573. The area under the ROC curve of the new variable Y in predicting sepsis SAE, evaluating the prognosis of sepsis, and predicting the prognosis of children with sepsis and SAE was 0.890, 0.756, and 0.729, respectively. Conclusions:Serum insulin, creatine kinase isoenzyme, hypersensitive troponin T, and N-terminal cerebral urine peptide can be used alone to determine the severity of sepsis and sepsis in children with SAE. The combined value of the four indicators is obviously better than that of the single indicator. The combined application of the four indicators may better evaluate the severity of sepsis and SAE.
