0.05).In addition,the external iliac artery significantly more closer to the iliac spine in left internal iliac artery than in right internal iliac artery.The distance from iliolumbar artery located closer to bone wall with(6.97?0.17) mm.CONCLUSION:The anatomic characteristics of sacroiliac joint determined failure probability of injured vessels.The measured results showed that failure probability of common iliac artery is less when the cacroiliac joint dislocation or fracture.There is less possibility to injure the vessel when cacroiliac joint fracture due to long distance between external iliac artery and bone wall.The internal iliac artery is closer to cacroiliac joint,so stretch injury may occure when sacroiliac joint dislocation accompanied with semi-pelvic shifting.The lateral sacral arteries,which resided closer to bone wall,is easy to injuried when fracture occurred at I area of sacrum.The iliolumbar artery easily damaged when sacroiliac joint dislocation accompanied with semi-pelvic shifting.

Objective To investigate the pathophysiology mechanism in belching by using high resolution manometry combined with impedance monitoring.Methods Ten belching patients (four male and six female,ages ranged from 28 to 50 years) received high resolution manometry combined with impedance monitoring.The characters of esophageal motility at rest,swallowing and belching and the possible mechanism of belching were analyzed.Results Nine of 10 patients had esophageal peristaltic dysfunction,displaying as non-peristaltic contraction such as non-conduction contraction,interrupt contraction and dropping contraction.The pressure of the lower esophageal sphincter (LES) of three patients decreased.LES of one patient had incomplete relaxation.Nine of 10 patients were supragastic belching,in which air moved rapidly into esophagus and reversed exited from the mouth in one second.Among nine supragastic belching patients,the pleural pressure of seven patients increased during inspiration,upper esophageal sphincter relaxed and air was mistaken into the esophagus.The pharyngeal muscle contracted in two patients and the air was forced into esophagus.Of all the patients,intragastric and esophageal pressure increased through abdominal muscles and diaphragm contraction and air exited from the mouth.Conclusions The results of this study indicated that there was esophageal peristaltic dysfunction in belching patients.There was no frequently air swallowing in excessive belching patients,the typical belching model was supragastic belching.

Objective To evaluate influencing factors of the long-term maintenance therapy in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).Methods 156 Patients with GERD were divided into on-demand therapy group and continuous therapy group by their treatment,according to symptom relief and improvement of quality of life in the course of therapy.The relationship between treatment and course,symptoms, esophageal motility,24-h pH monitoring and endoscopic findings were analysed.Results (1)5 Patients showed no response to acid suppression therapy and were excluded.For the 151 patients,92 were in on-demand therapy group,and 59 were in continuous therapy group.(2)The disease course and symptoms score in on-demand therapy group were significantly longer and higher than those of continuous therapy group (P

Objective To investigate the effect of autonomic nervous dysfunction on pathogenesis of gastro-esophageal reflux disease(GERD).Methods Autonomic nervous function(ANF) was assessed by cardiovascular reflex tests in healthy volunteers and patients with GERD;Based on the ANF test results,the relationship between the impairment degree of autonomic nerve and the esophageal motility or the reflux esophagitis or the score of reflux symptoms was investigated.Results ① 59.5% of patients with GERD have abnormal ANF and the rate in GERD patients is much higher than that in healthy volunteers,parasympathetic nerve impairment is predominant.② The score of reflux symptoms in patients with normal ANF is significantly lower than that in patients with abnormal ANF(6(2,7.6)vs 9(4.1,17),P

Objective To investigate the effects of artesunate (ART) on interstitial pneumonia and sialadenitis in MRL/lpr mice.Methods A total of 18 MRL/lpr mice were randomly allocated to a hydroxychloroquine sulfate (HCQ) group,a ART group and a control group.At the age of 18 weeks,the mice in the HCQ group and ART group were given HCQ 150 mg/kg daily and ART 50 mg/kg daily for 12 weeks,respectively.The histopathological changes of pneumonitis and submaxillaritis were assessed by hematoxylin and eosin staining.The levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in the serum and urine were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results At the age of 30 weeks,the index of peribronchiolar lesion (1.62 ± 0.19,1.52 ± 0.30 vs.1.95 ± 0.34;all P＜0.05),the index of perivascular lesion (1.23 ± 0.18,1.28 ± 0.12 vs.1.57 ± 0.33;all P＜0.05),the alveolar lesions index (1.35 ± 0.16,1.05 ± 0.15 vs.1.72 ± 0.34;all P＜0.05) and the submaxillaritis index (1.48 ± 0.22,1.43 ± 0.15 vs.1.84 ± 0.34;all P＜0.05) in the HCQ group and the ART group were significantly decreased than those in the control group.The MCP-1 levels in the serum (1 103.02 ± 185.56 pg/ml,1 072.37 ± 242.43 pg/ml vs.1 490.67 ± 329.43 pg/ml;all P＜0.05) and urine (189.16 ± 70.85 pg/ml,198.79 ± 113.47 pg/ml vs.446.79 ± 192.31 pg/ml;all P＜0.05) in the HCQ group and the ART group were significantly lower than those in the control group.Conclusion ART can decrease the MCP-1 level,and ameliorate interstitial pneumonitis and sialadenitis in MRL/lpr mice.

In the clinical practice,critically ill patients are in great risk of delirium because of the impact of psychological,surroundings,illness,and medications,with the incidence rate as high as 45％-87％.Delirium could result in bad prognosis and clinical consequences of cognitive function in late stage.Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a novel and highly selective 2-adrenoceptor agonist.It offers beneficial pharmacological properties and has been widely used in intensive care unit (ICU).In order to provide scientific and effective references for clinical practice,this paper reviewed the development of DEX intervention for the prevention of delirium in ICU both in China and abroad refereed to the pharmacological characteristics and the efficiency in clinic and the influence factors ofthe efficiency;and also discussed the possible mechanisms,such as modulating the neurotransmitters,and attenuating stress response and inflammation.

Objective To investigate the effect of group psychological counseling and peer education on depressive and anxiety symptoms of pregnant females with selective multiple pregnancy reduction in second trimester. Methods Sixty-two pregnant females with selective multiple pregnancy reduction in second trimester were randomly divided into intervention group(n=30)and control group (n=32), two groups of pregnant women all received routine nursing. The pregnant women of intervention group received group psychological counseling and peer education for one month before multiple pregnancy reduction. Results Before the intervention, the anxiety levels of the two groups of pregnant women were not significantly different. After the intervention, the intervention group had less anxiety symptoms than before the intervention[ before(54.2 ± 3.2)points,after(43.4 ± 3.1)points,t=13.250,P=0.000].After the intervention, the intervention group had less anxiety symptoms than the control group[the intervention group(43.4±3.1)points, the control group(50.0±4.4)points,t=6.712,P=0.000].Before the intervention, the depression levels of the two groups of pregnant women were not significantly different. After the intervention, the depression levels of the control group was not significantly different than those before the intervention. After the intervention, there was significantly lower depression score of the intervention group than that of the control group(P < 0.05) [before(56.9 ± 3.5)points, after(45.3 ± 2.5)points, t=14.773,P=0.000].After the intervention, the intervention group had lower depression score than the control group[the intervention group (45.3 ± 2.5) points, the control group (54.6 ± 3.0) points, t=12.802,P=0.000]. Conclusions Group psychological counseling and peer education can effectively improve depressive and anxiety symptoms of pregnant females with selective multiple pregnancy reduction in second trimester.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and reliability of perfusion nutrient load test (P-NLT) in evaluating gastric accommodation and hypersensitivity.Methods Forty-one healthy volunteers randomly received either drinking nutrient load test (D-NLT) or P-NLT (through nasalgastric tube) in separate day within one week.Meanwhile,intragastric pressure (IGP) was recorded and 2D ultrasonography (2DUS) was used to measure both the proximal gastric area (PGA) and proximal gastric volume(PGV) during NLT.Visual analogue scale was used to evaluate satiety during NLT.Ten healthy volunteers experienced second P-NLT within 3 months.Results The amount of nutrition liquid was higher in P-NLT than in D-NLT at minimal and maximal satiety(P <0.01).However,there was no difference in the IGP between P-NLT and D-NLT at minimal and maximal satiety (P>0.05).The PGA and PGV at maximal satiety were significantly higher in P-NLT than DNLT (P <0.01),but no difference existed at minimal satiety between two methods (P >0.05).The amount of nutrition liquid at maximal satiety was significantly correlated with PGA and PGV at maximal satiety in both P-NLT and D-NLT (PGV:r = 0.771 vs r = 0.500;PGA:r = 0.600 vs r =0.430).In P-NLT group,there was no significant difference among age,BMI and gender with respect to IGP and maximal volume (MV) (P >0.05).Whereas no difference was found in threshold volume (TV) and MV between the first and the second P-NLT studies (P >0.05).Conclusions It suggests that P-NLT might be more accurate than D-NLT in predicting gastric accommodation in healthy volunteers without any influence such as swallowing air,taste and psychological disturbance.It has a good repeatability.P-NLT is a potential method in assessment of proximal gastric accommodation and MV might be more suitable for assessment gastric accommodation.

Objective To investigate the effect of trichostatin A on the expression of growth arrest and DNA damage-inducible protein 45 alpha (Gadd45α) in,proliferation of and apoptosis in a human epithelial carcinoma cell line A431.Methods Cultured A431 cells were treated with different concentrations (0.05,0.1,0.25,0.5,1 μmogL) of trichostatin A for various durations (6,12,24,48 hours).Subsequently,cell proliferation,cycle and apoptosis were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK8) and flow cytometry respectively.The expression of Gadd45eα mRNA and protein in cultured A431 cells was detected by reverse transcription-PCR and Western blot respectively.Results Trichostatin A inhibited the proliferation of A431 cells in a dose (0.05-1.0 μmol/L)-dependent manner at all the 4 time points (F =3554.71,P ＜ 0.05),as well as in a time (6-48 hours)-dependent manner at these tested concentrations (F =1685.18,P ＜ 0.05).A statistical increase was induced in the early apoptosis rate,late apoptosis rate and Gadd45α mRNA expression in A431 cells by the 24 hour-treatment with trichostatin A of 0.1 to 0.5μmol/L.Elevated percentage of cells at G1 phase (26.910％ ± 0.799％,30.406％ ±0.625％,32.896％ ± 0.599％ vs.21.633％ ± 1.144％,F =105.93,P ＜ 0.05) and expression of Gadd45α protein (0.6536 ± 0.2193,0.6990 ± 0.0110,0.9040 ± 0.1971 vs.0.3766 ± 0.0241,F =332.88,P ＜ 0.01) were observed in A431 cells treated with trichostatin A of 0.1,0.25 and 0.5 μmol/L for 24 hours compared with untreated A431 cells.Conclusions Trichostatin A can enhance the mRNA and protein expression of Gadd45α in A431 cells,which may be involved in the suppression of cell proliferation as well as acceleration of apoptosis of A431 cells by trichostatin A.
