Objective To review the clinical changes and the management experience of hemodynamics after orthotopic heart transplantation.Methods Orthotopic homologous heart transplantation was performed on 25 cases from January 2000 to October 2003. The hemodynamic changes were monitored after operation with Swan-Ganz catheter and color Dopplor ultrasound. The therapy strategy was regulated when the monitor index and the clinical situation were referenced.Results PAWP, PASP, CVP, CO and CI were increased on the operation day. From the first day to the 7th day, PAWP, PASP and CVP were increased with right ventricle enlarged and sometimes arrhythmia and hydrothorax occurred. After strengthening heart, diuresis and stretching vessel, the hemodynamic changes of 23 cases were inversed and two cases’ conditions got worse. The two patients died of multiple organ failure on the 16th and 23rd day respectively.Conclusion The hemodynamic changes often occur at the early term after orthotopic heart transplantation. The main change is the right ventricular failure. It is important for the patient’s condition recovery and prognosis to monitor the hemodynamic changes and analyze the cause in order to direct the therapy.

Objective To explore the method of atrial septal defect (ASD)occlusion with occluder by minimally invasive chest ways. Methods 34 patients with ASD were anaesthetized and a 2cm～3cm-long incision was made in the 4th intercostal space of right side of sternum and a Dasdo round or elliptic occluder was placed in the heart.The ASD size and edge in various sections were measured by transesophageal echocardiography,and the type and size of occluder were accordingly selected.Two umbrellas were opened on two sides of ASD under monitoring of echocardiography.After confirming the firm of occluder and no evident atrial shunt,occluder was released,and right atrium and chest were sewed. Results 33 patients with ASD were successfully occluded and one case was failed who received extracorporeal circulation operation.The maximum diameter of ASD was 8～32(19 3?6 3)mm.The shortest edge in variant side was 0 mm to posterior wall of aortea,3.5mm to superior vena cava,6.0mm to inferior vena cava and 6.0mm to the base of mitral valve.The time for closing ASD guided by echocardiography was about 2～3 minutes. Conclusions The placement of ASD occluder through minimal incision of the chest is a new method for the treatment of ASD.It might have wider indications for ASD occlusion.

ObjectiveTo investigate the extracorporeal clearance rate of imipenem in severe infection patients in the mode of continuous vena-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT), in order to approach if the concentration of imipenem in plasma could achieve effective levels of anti-infection, and to explore the effect of time and anticoagulation measure on imipenem clearance during CRRT treatment.Methods A prospective observational study was conducted. All adult severe infection patients complicating acute kidney injury (AKI) in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Fourth Hospital of Hebei Medical University from March 2013 to September 2014, who were prescribed imipenem as part of their required medical care, and CRRT for treatment of AKI were enrolled. 0.5 g doses of imipenem was administered intravenously every 6 hours or 8 hours according to random number table, and infused over 0.5 hour. The unfractionated heparin was used for anticoagulation in the patients without contraindications, and no anticoagulation strategy was used in the patients with high risk of bleeding. At 24 hours after first time of administration, postfilter venous blood and ultrafiltrate samples were collected at 0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1, 2, 5, 6, and 8 hours after imipenem administration. The concentration of imipenem in above samples was determined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometer/mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS).Results A total of 25 patients were enrolled. Thirteen patients received imipenem intravenously every 6 hours, and 12 patients, every 8 hours. The anticoagulation was conducted with heparin in 13 cases, and 12 cases without anticoagulation. The intra-day precision, inter-day precision, matrix effect, and recovery rate in low, medium, and high concentration of plasma and ultrafiltrate, and the stability of samples under different conditions showed a good result, the error of accuracy was controlled in the range of±15%. With the application of Prismaflex blood filtration system and AN69-M100 filter, under the mode with CVVH, the total clearance rate of imipenem was (8.874±2.828) L/h when the actual dose of replacement fluid was (31.63±1.48) mL·kg-1·h-1, the total CRRT clearance rate of imipenem in vitro was (2.211±0.539) L/h, which accounting for (30.1±15.7)% of the total drug clearance. In 6 hours interval dosage regimen, the percentages of the time> 4×minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) at specific 4×MIC of 2, 4, 6, and 8μg/mL of imipenem were more than 40% of the dosing interval. But in the 8 hours interval dosage regimen, when the level was above the 4×MIC of 4μg/mL, maintaining time would drop below 40% of the dosing interval, with significant differences compared with that in 6 hours interval dosage regimen [4×MIC = 2μg/mL: (60.84±20.25)%vs. (94.01±12.46)%,t = 4.977,P = 0.001; 4×MIC = 4μg/mL: (39.85±15.88)% vs. (68.74±9.57)%,t = 5.562, P = 0.000; 4×MIC = 6μg/mL: (27.58±13.70)% vs. (53.97±8.36)%,t = 5.867,P = 0.000; 4×MIC = 8μg/mL:(18.87±12.43)% vs. (43.48±7.83)%,t = 5.976,P = 0.000]. No significant change in sieving coefficient of imipenem was found within a short time (6 hours), which indicated that there was no effect of anticoagulation on clearance of imipenem by AN69-M100 filter, and no statistical significance was found with repeated measure analysis (F = 0.186, P> 0.05).ConclusionsThe clearance rate of imipenem is increased significantly in vitro under the mode of CVVH with the actual dose of replacement fluid was (31.63±1.48) mL·kg-1·h-1 in severe infective patients with severe sepsis complicating AKI, affecting the level of plasma drug concentration, need to adjust the dosage regimen. When the time of the dosing interval was shortened, the concentration of imipenem in patients' plasma could be increased significantly. In a short period of time, the sieving coefficient of imipenem through AN69 filter is not affected by anticoagulation measures and time cleaning efficiency will not decline.

Objective:To analyze the equity of health resource allocation in village-level medical institution in China,thus to provide the basis for formulating relevant health resources allocation policy.Methods:Using Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient,the rationality and equity of allocation of village health resources in China were evalua-ted by the equity of population distribution and the equity of geographical distribution.Results:The Gini coefficient of village health workers and health institutions was 0.19 and 0.20 respectively according to population distribu-tion,and was 0.65 and 0.63 respectively according to geographical distribution.The Gini coefficient's difference of village-level health resources in the eastern,central and western regions was small according to population distri-bution,but the difference was larger according to geographical distribution among different areas.Conclusion:The equity of village-level health resource allocation in China was preferable according to population distribution,but the equity according to geographic distribution was poorer.The formulation of health policy should pay more atten-tion to the equity of geographic distribution and allocate rationally.

Excessive and fast rise of medical expenses in China recent years has worsened the financial burden of both the government and individuals alike,making it a hotspot issue countrywide.To alleviate the difficulties of "accessibility to medical services" and "poverty or repoverty resulting from sickness" faced by the Chinese people at large,we built a multi-factor analysis model to identify key factors contributing to such a fast rise of medical expenses based on an analysis of the medical expenses in Shandong Province.In addition,we discussed the causes for GDP and headcount of medical staff in relation to the rise of medical expenses,and the strategies to curb expenses.

ObjectiveTo explore the effects of perceived trust and occupational risk on job burnout of physicians.MethodsA multi-step random sample of 1910 physicians from medical organizations in Jinan,Weifang and Dezhou was selected and assessed with Perceived Trust Scale,Occupational Risk Scale and Maslach Burnout Inventory.ResultsPublic trust could significantly positively predict cynicism,negatively predict reduced professional efficacy ( β =0.10,-0.10; P ＜0.01 ),Patient's trust could significantly negatively predict exhaustion,cynicism and reduced professional efficacy ( β =-0.14,-0.20,-0.22; P ＜ 0.01 ).Regulator's trust could significantly negatively predict exhaustion,cynicism,and reduced professional efficacy(β=-0.12,-0.08,-0.12;P＜0.05 ).Occupational risk could significantly positively predict exhaustion and cynicism(β=0.30,0.13; P ＜0.01 ).Perceived social trust and occupational risk could together explain 22％ of exhaustion,7％ of cynicism and 13％ of reduced professional efficacy.ConclusionPerceived trust and occupational risk have significant predictive effects on dimensions of job burnout.

Objective To investigate the role of nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-?B)in the modulation of diallyl trisulfide(DATS)on interleukin-1?(IL-1?)expression induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS)in mice with acute lung injury(ALI).Methods Mice were randomly divided into Control group,ALI group,DATS group,DATS prevention group and DATS treatment group.The expression of IL-1? mRNA in the lung tissue was detected by reverse transcription PCR(RT-PCR).NF-?B activity in the lung tissue was detected by electrophoresis mobility shift assay(EMSA).The expression of phospho-I?B and I?B were assayed by Western blot.Results The expression of IL-1? mRNA,NF-?B activity and the phospho-I?B expression in lung tissues increased significantly at ALI group(P

Objective To evaluate the reliability of lactate clearance rate in evaluating the efficacy of early fluid resuscitation in the patients with severe sepsis.Methods One hundred and forty-two patients with severe sepsis,aged 28-87 yr,were enrolled in the study.Isotonic crystalloid fluid was infused after admission to ICU to maintain central venous pressure ≥ 8 mmHg,mean arterial pressure ≥ 65 mmHg,central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2) ≥ 70％,and urine output ≥ 0.5 ml·kg 1 ·h-1 within 6 h.The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the treatment outcome:survival group and death group.Immediately before fluid resuscitation and at 6,12 and 24 h after fluid resuscitation,blood samples were collected from the central vein for blood gas analysis and ScvO2 was recorded.Blood samples were collected from the peripheral vein for determination of the concentration of lactate and lactate clearance rate was calculated.Results Compared with survival group,the lactate clearance rate was significantly decreased at 6,12 and 24 h after fluid resuscitation,and no significant change in ScvO2 was found in death group.Conclusion Lactate clearance rate can evaluate the efficacy of early fluid resuscitation in the patients with severe sepsis.

Objective To explore the effects of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) signal pathway on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression at different glucose-lowing rates,and the influence of glucose-lowing rate on cardiomyocyte injury and inflammatory secretion function,as well as its mechanism.Methods Cardiomyocytes of Wistar neonate rat were maintained in medium supplemented with 25 mmol/L glucose for 72 h.Then the medium was changed to different concentrations of glucose and all cells were divided into five groups.Group A was control group whose medium supplemented with 25 mmol/L glucose.Medium of group B,C,D,E was supplemented with 20,15,10,5 mmol/L glucose (glucose-lowing rate was 5,10,15,20 mmol/L) respectively.Survival rate of cardiomyocyte was measured by CCK8 kit.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis was measured by flow cytometry instrument and laser confocal microscope after Annexin V-PI.TNF-α was measured by ELISA.ERK1/2 protein and phosphorylation were measured by Western blot.Cardiomyocyte apoptosis and TNF-α levels were measured again after U0126 was added.Results At the same time point,along with the glucose-lowing rate increased,survival rate of cardiomyocyte in group A was increased and those in group C,D,E were decreased (P＜ 0.05).TNF-α concentration was increased in group B,C,D and decreased in group E.After 24 h,apoptosis rate decreased in group B and increased in group C,D,E (P＜0.05).ERK1/2 phosphorylation level increased in group B,D,and E(P＜0.05).The ERK1/2 phosphorylation level in group B was the lowest.After U0126 was added,survival rates of cardiomyocyte in all groups were increased (P＜0.01) while TNF-α concentrations were decreased (P＜0.05).In every group,survival rate of eardiomyocyte after 48 h was lower than that after 3 h and 24 h,while TNF-α concentration was higher (P＜0.05).Conclusion Influence of glucose-lowering rate for cardiomyocyte apoptosis and TNF-o is caused by ERK1/2 pathway.In the glucose-lowering course,ERK1/2 pathway promotes cardiomyocytes apoptosis and TNF-α secretion is related with not only osmotic pressure,but also ERK1/2 signal pathway activation as well.

Objective To study the techniques and outcomes of using a retrograde pedicled vascularized radius bone flap based on the 1st,2nd intercompartmental supraretinacular artery (1,2ICSRA) for scaphoid nonunion through dorsal and palmar approaches.Methods Between March 2013 and April 2015,16 patients with scaphoid nonunion were treated by surgery through palmar and dorsal approaches.There were 14 males and 2 females with an average age of 29.1 years (range,19-51 years).The location of lesion was 6 cases on the left and 10 cases on the right.5 cases were treated with plaster fixation.11 cases weren't treated after wrists injured.The preoperative time was 6-26 months,with an average of 16.5 months.The operation was completed within one incision.The bone flaps based on 1,2ICSRA were taken through dorsal approach.The broken ends of the scaphoid fracture were cleaned,and the deformity was corrected with bone grafting and internal fixation through palmar approach.Time of fracture union and wrist pain resolution was evaluated.Wrist motion and grip strength were measured and compared.The result of the latest follow-up was used as the criterion for efficacy evaluation.The wrist pain was evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) and the postoperative wrist function based on the modified Mayo wrist score was recorded.Results Post-operative follow up ranged from 6-19 months,with an average of 11 months.Bone union was achieved in all the cases,so the healing rate was 100％.7 cases were healed in 11 weeks.5 cases were healed in 13 weeks.3 cases were healed in 15 weeks.1 case was healed in 17 weeks.The average healing time was 12.5 weeks.The humpback deformity of Scaphoid and DISI of 7 cases were corrected.The bending of wrist could reach 60.2°±3.2°,and the elongation could reach 51.3°± 3.5°.The radial deviation of wrist could reach 13.6°±1.42°,and ulnar deviation could reach 24.4°±1.8°.The range of grip strength was 29-64 kg,with an average of 45 kg.The 16 patients returned to normal work.The pain after wrist movement of 14 cases was completely disappeared,and the VAS was 0.Two cases felt slight pain when wrist was overworked,and the VAS were 0.9 and 1.2.The wrist joint function of patients recovered well.The modified Mayo score was 69-99,with an average of 90.75.The functional results were 12 excellent,2 good,and 2 fair,and the excellent and good rate was 87.5％ (14/16).No complications such as infection,failure of screws,orthopaedic arthritis or scaphoid necrosis were found during the follow-up period.Conclusion The technique of 1,2 ICSRA pedicled bone graft and palmar bone grafting for nonunion of scaphoid can provide convenience for us to deal with the broken ends of the scaphoid fracture,correct the malformation and graft bone through dorsal and palmar approaches.This method can protect the blood supply of the scaphoid,and promote scaphoid union.
