Objective To explore the efficacy of different modes of fluid resuscitation (early or delayed use of norepinephrine) on lung injury of septic shock rat induced by LPS.Methods A total of 60 male Wistar rats were randomly (random number) divided into 4 groups:the normal control group (group A,n =15),septic shock control group (group B,n =15),conventional fluid resuscitation group (group C,n =15),fluid resuscitation with early using of norepinephrine group (group D,n =15).All rats were mechanically ventilated with the same parameters.In the group C,norepinephrine was used 30 min after fluid resuscitation.In the group D,norepinephrine was used at the beginning of fluid resuscitation.Vital signs,volume of fluid infused and dosage of norepinephrine were recorded.Rats were sacrificed 2 h later and blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis.The lung tissues and BALF were collected.Pathological changes of the lung tissues were observed under light microscope.The levels of MPO,SOD and MDA were detected.The levels of IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α in BALF and in serum were detected by using ELISA.Results Compared with group C,the mean volume of fluid infusion to achieve target blood pressure was decreased,oxygenation index was improved and the level of blood lactic acid were decreased in group D (P ＜ 0.05).HE staining indicated that inflammatory cells were decreased,pulmonary edema and alveolar walls hyperemia were alleviated in group D in comparison with group C.Inflammatory cytokines (IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α) in BALF and in serum were significantly decreased in group D compared with group C (P ＜0.05).Levels of MPO were decreased in group D compared with group B and group C.However,early using of norepinephrine had limited effect on the levels of SOD and MDA.Conclusions The current study demonstrated that fluid resuscitation with early use of norepinephrine exhibited a protective effect on lung injuries induced by LPS.

Compared with hip replacement, internal fixation in the treatment of the elderly femoral neck fracture, especially the application of cannulated screws, is minimally invasive, easy to operate and economical. In recent years, it becomes the research focus in the field of orthopedic clinical research. However, configuration of cannulated screws is still controversial. Most clinicians believe that three cannulated screws being placed in parallel in an inverted triangle configuration is better than that in a triangular configuration in biomechanics and clinical effect. Nonparallel strong oblique nailing technique allows the screws to share more weight to reduce postoperative complications, so that it is more suitable for elderly patients with osteoporosis. However, the related complications of internal fixation such as nonunion, femoral neck shortening and other problems are still the focus of domestic and foreign scholars. Issues about how to control the indication of internal fixation surgery, understand related factors of the complications, and prevent complications are required to be further explored.

Objective　To establish the normal growth velocity of fetal liver length and compare them with those of intrauterine growth retardation, pregnant diabetes and maternal-fetal blood types imcopatible. Method　Three hundred and five normal pregnant women and 24, 10, 16 pathological pregnant women of intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR), gestational diabetes and maternal-fetal blood types incompatible respectively had ultrasonographic measurement of fetal liver length at 18 to 42 weeks′ gestation. Results　Normal fetal liver length has a linear relation to gestational age, and showed a significantly rapid increase after 28th week with a growth rate of 1.76 mm per week, and 1.00 mm per week before 28th week (P<0.05). The growth rate of IUGR group before and after therapy were 1.19 mm and 1.23 mm per week, significantly lower than those of normal group (P<0.05). The growth rate of pregnant diabetes group before and after therapy were 1.63 mm and 1.63 mm per week, no statistical significance with normal group (P>0.05). The growth rate of maternal-fetal blood types incompatible group before therapy was 1.98 mm, showed no difference with normal group (P>0.05), but after therapy, the growth rate of fetal liver was 1.38 mm per week, significantly lower than normal group (P<0.05). Conclusion　Dynamic measurement of fetal liver length can help us to understand whether the fetus grow well in uterus and whether the treatments are effective.

ObjectiveTo develop an assay to quantitatively detect anti-BP180NC16A IgG subclasses and to assess the significance of anti-BP180NC16A lgG in bullous pemphigoid (BP).MethodsThe Glutathione S-transferase(GST)-BPI80NC16A fusion protein was expressed in E.coli system and purified by affinity chromatography.An improved enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) was developed and used to detect anti-BP180NCI6A IgG subclasses in serum samples from 10 patients with BP,5 patients with pemphigoid gestationis (PG),1 patient with linear IgA bullous dermatosis (LIBD) and 2 patients with pemphigus.Results The optimal condition for the ELISA was determined by cross assay as follows:the concentration of GSTBP180NC16A fusion protein for coating,500 μg/L; the condition for coating,4 ℃ for 12 hours; the dilution ratio of sera and secondary antibody,1∶ 100 and 1 ∶ 2000 respectively; the condition for incubation,37 ℃ for 1 hour;,the condition for the enzyme-substrate reaction,37 ℃ for 20 minutes.Of the 10 patients with BP,all were positive for anti-BP180NC16A IgG1,9 for IgG2,5 for IgG3,and 9 for IgG4.Anti-BP180NC16A IgG was undetected in any of the serum samples from 2 patients with pemphigus vulgaris or 1 patient with adult LIBD.All the 5 sera from patients with PG; were positive for all the anti-BP180NC16A IgG subclasses,which were predominated by IgGl and IgG3.ConclusionThe developed ELISA is a highly specific and reproducible semiquantitative method for the detection of anti-BP180NCI6A IgG subclasses in patients with BP and PG.

Objective To compare the regulatory functions of Danhong and Salvia Ligustrazin on abnormal coagulation factors Ⅶ caused by ACS.Methods All cases were randomly divided into group A and B and a control group.Each group contains 60 patients.The control group was treated with conventional western therapies.On this basis,group A Was treated with Danhong injection and group B was treatedwith Salvia Ligustrazin injection.Compare the regulatory function of its group on abnormal level of coagulation factor Ⅶ caused by ACS.Results Group B showed better effects in its regulating abnormal level of coagulation factor Ⅶ as compaared to group A(χ~2=3.67,P＜0.05).Both groups did better than the control group in adjusting coagulation factors Ⅶ (P＜0.05).Conclusion Salvia ligustrazine has better effect in regulating coagulation factors Ⅶ than Dan Hong injection,which is better than conventional western medical therapy.

Plasma exchange as an important technique for blood purification,its treatment involves a wide range of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome,nervous system disease,kidney disease,poisoning disease,metabolic disease etc.Clinical in pediatric patients for blood purification treatment must be considered in children with primary disease and clinical symptoms,in order to reduce the incidence of various types of complications,ensure the clinical efficacy.

Objective To investigate the expressions of heat shock protein(HSP)90α and HSP90β in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) in myasthenia gravis (MG) children before and after glucocorticoid (GC) treatment,and normal control groups.Methods Fresh bloods were collected from 20 cases of children with MG before and after treatment and 19 healthy children.PBMCs were isolated,followed by measurement of the expression levels of HSP90α and β by immunocytochemistry,and HSP90α and β mRNAs by reverse transcription and polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results The positive cell ratio of HSP90α andβ of MG children before and after of GC treatment was significantly higher than control groups (P ＜ 0.05),and their mRNA expression levels was higher than control groups (P ＜ 0.05).HSP90β in MG children after GC treatment was mainly expressed in the nucleus(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions HSP90α and β in PBMC of MG children before and after GC treatment were significantly higher than those of normal control groups.HSP90β in MG Children after GC treatment was significantly increased.The present results suggest HSP90β promote GC receptor binding and enhance GC transportation,which promotes and strengthens the physiological and pharmacological effects of GC to improve the clinical symptom of MG children.
