Objective To analyze the effects of dopamine and norepinephrine on blood oxygen,heart rate and internal environment in patients with septic shock.Methods 80 patients with septic shock were collected.The patients were randomly divided into two groups.The control group was given dopamine treatment,the observation group was given dopamine and norepinephrine.Results The heart rate (HR)[(90.39±15.29)/min],ScVO2 index[(77.03±7.68)％] of the observation group were better than those of the control group (t=4.122 5,2.141 5,all P＜0.05).The urine volume[(94.05±22.39)mL/h],creatinine clearance rate[(53.12±14.45)mL/min] of the observation group were better than those of the control group (t=3.660 6,2.023 2,all P＜0.05).ConclusionDopamine combined with norepinephrine has significant effect on patients with septic shock,which can effectively improve the HR,ScVO2,urine volume,creatinine clearance rate and other indicators,thus to restore the patients'' internal environment.

Objective To evaluate the performance of trilobed flaps for reconstruction of nasal tip defects. Methods Totally, 23 patients with nasal tip defects after tumor resection were enrolled into this study. Skin defects varied from 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm to 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm in size. According to the location and size of skin defects, trilobed flaps were designed, and the angle between two lobes ranged from 45° to 50°. The size of the first lobe was approximately equal to that of the skin defect, while the size of the second and third lobes decreased successively. During flap design, the integrity of nasal subunits was sufficiently considered, and the incision lines were placed along the boundary lines of the nasal subunit as far as possible, so as to conceal the incision scar with natural skin folds. Results After the operation, skin flaps survived with primary healing of incisions in all the patients. After 6 - 24 months of follow up, the color, texture and thickness of flaps were similar to those of their surrounding skin, and incision scars were inconspicuous. No malformation occurred in the nasal ala, nostril, nasal columella or surrounding organs, and satisfactory nasal appearance and function were achieved. Conclusion Trilobed flaps can be used to effectively repair relatively large skin defects of the nasal tip with satisfactory nasal appearance and function.

A patient suffering Madelung's disease was treated and the literatures were reviewed in this article. The cause, the clinical features and treatment were discussed. The cause of this disease is unknown, and it is characterized by symmetrical accumulation of fat around the neck,nape and armpit having a appearance of "horse collar"or "hump back". Histological analysis revealed typical fat tissue depositing around the structures. Surgery is the main means of treatment, and prognosis is good.

We studied the regulatory effects of the estragen receptorbeta (ERbeta) gene on the downstream estrogen signal transfection pathway in colon cancer cells and the possible mechanisms involved. A human ERbeta gene recombinant expression plasmid, pEGFP-C1-ERbeta, was constructed and transfected into the Caco-2 colon cancer cell line, a line with low ERbeta gene expression. The expression of ERbeta mRNA and protein was detected 72 h after transfection. RT-PCR was used to examine the expression levels of the progesterone recepror (PR) gene containing the classic estrogen response element (ERE), the C-fos oncogene containing the AP-1 site (a non-classical ER binding site), the epigenetic modifying genes, such as Dnmt1, Dnmt3a, Dnmt3b, and histone methyltransferase (HMT), and the human mismatch repair gene hMLH1. Methylation-specific PCR was used to detect the changes in the methylated sites of the CpG islands in the promoters of the ERbeta, PR, and C-fos genes. The results indicated that the human ERbeta gene recombinant expression plasmid pEGFP-C1-ERbeta was successfully constructed and transfected into Caco-2 cells. As compared with the control group, the mRNA and protein expression of ERbeta gene was increased significantly 72 h after the transfection of pEGFP-C1-ERbeta into the Caco-2 cells. As compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of the PR, C-fos, Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b genes was increased significantly 72 h after the transfection of pEGFP-C1-ERbeta into the Caco-2 cells, but the mRNA expression of the Dnmt1, HMT, and hMLH1 genes decreased significantly (P<0.05). As compared with the control group, different degrees of demethylation occurred in the promoters of the ERbeta, progesterone receptor (PR), and C-fos oncogene 72 h after the transfection of pEGFP-C1-ERbeta into the Caco-2 cells. The methylation index of the estrogen signal transfection pathway in Caco-2 cells was decreased significantly following the expression restoration of ERbeta gene (P<0.05). It is concluded that the restoration or up-regulation of the ERbeta gene in Caco-2 cells may significantly activate the expression of the related target genes in the downstream estrogen signal transfection pathway and may result in the demethylation changes of the pathway. During the process, the expression level and activity of the epigenetic modifying genes and the human mismatch repair gene have changed simultaneously. The regulatory effect of the ERbeta gene on the estrogen signal transfection pathway to a certain extent partly involves demethylation.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of 64-slice computed tomography with MinIP and MPR for imaging the bronchus related to a solitary pulmonary lesion (SPL). Methods Seventy-five subjects with solitary pulmonary lesions underwent chest 64-slice CT and their bronchi were analyzed retrospectively. All images of thin-section (0.625 mm) were reconstructed with MPR and MinIP into images of 1, 2, 3, and 5 mm thickness and 1 mm gap in two orthogonal planes along the long axis of bronchus related to the SPL. The image quality of four series of MinIP and MPR images was evaluated in the aspect of bronchus visibility and pulmonary vascular masking. One-way ANOVA with Bonferroni correction and interclass correlation coefficient were used in the statistical analysis. Results (1) The mean scores of display of the bronchi on MinIP images of four series (4.85, 4.77 and 4.84, 4.63 and 4.67, 4.25 and 4.28, in 1, 2, 3, and 5 mm thickness, respectively) and on MPR images of 1 or 2 mm thickness (4.77 and 4.76, 4.04 and 4.27, in 1 and 2 mm thickness, respectively) were good or excellent. MPR images of 1 mm thickness and MinIP images of 1-3 mm thickness showed no significant differences (t=0.318, P> 0.05 for all), but they were superior to MinIP images of 5 mm thickness (t=6.318 and 6.610, P＜0.01). MPR images of 2 mm thickness were inferior to MinIP images of 1-3 mm thickness (t=5.003-8.958, P＜0.01), but there was no significant difference between MPR images of 2 mm thickness and MinIP images of 5 mm thickness (t=1.794 and 0.3181, all P> 0.05). (2) The effect of suppression of pulmonary vascular markings on MinIP images was better with the increase of slice thickness (F=45.312 and 40.415, P＜0.01). The mean scores of MinIP images of 3 mm and 5 mm thickness (4.67 and 4.64, 5.00 and 4.97, for 3 and 5 mm thickness, respectively) were good or excellent, but MinIP images of 2 mm thickness were just acceptable. Conclusion MinIP images of 3 mm thickness may display the bronchus related to SPL more clearly.

Objective To evaluate the diabetes self-management program based on Chinese local patients in Nanjing community. Methods From April 2014 to June 2014, diabetes patients were recruited through health records system screening in the community health service centers, letter invitation, poster announcements at communities, and telephone notification. A total of 53 self-management groups were established. Nanjing diabetes self-management program included six 1-1.5 hours sessions scheduled on consecutive weeks, based on the blueprint of Shanghai Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP) developed at Stanford University. Baseline and three-month later interviews were conducted respectively. Results A total of 636 patients were recruited and agreed to enter CDSMP; 603 completed the 6-session activities, with the response rate being 94.8%. Compared to baseline, nine of the patients' the awareness rate of diabetes-related knowledge, six of self-management behaviors, the scores of quality of life in physical component summary [(47.51 ± 9.47) vs. (49.10 ± 8.27) points, t=6.170, P=0.000] and mental component summary [(47.09±11.95) vs. (49.13±10.74) points, t=5.157, P=0.000] were all higher after three months (all P values<0.05). Three months after implementation, the level of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, fasting plasma glucose and total cholesterol decreased respectively by (1.42±0.52) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), (0.98 ± 0.34) mmHg, (0.66 ± 0.16) mmol/L, (0.15 ± 0.56) mmol/L,the differences were statistically significant (tpaired values were 3.935, 2.030, 4.889, 4.899, all P values<0.05). Conclusion The diabetes self-management program based on Chinese local patients for Nanjing may improve patients' awareness rate of diabetes-related knowledge, self-management behavior, the quality of life, and health status. CDSMP could be applied effectively in Nanjing.

Objective To detect the histological characteristics of collagen nodules from hypertrophic scars (HS) and investigate the origin of collagen nodules.Methods The scar tissues were collected from patients with plastic operation.Morphological characteristics of collagen nodules were observed by light microscopy of HE-stained sections; expressions of type Ⅰ /Ⅲ collagens were observed by polarized light microscopy of sirius red-stained sections; expression and distribution of myofibroblasts (MFb)-specific protein (α-smooth muscle actin,α-SMA) were observed by immunostaining in order to observe level of local tissue tension.Results Collagen nodules varied in shape,not only sphereshaped,and in size.Moreover,abundant fibroblasts (Fb) with large and light-stained nuclei were seen in the nodules compared to non-nodule area,indicating that the cells located in the modules were active.Some collagen nodules were composed largely of collagen type Ⅲ (green),but some mainly contained collagen type Ⅰ (red or yellow),indicating the difference in the time of nodule formation.α-SMA was expressed mainly in the deep dermis equivalent to the level of reticular layer of the new scar tissues (2 months after injury) ; α-SMA was expressed mainly in the nodules of the old scar tissues (2-10 years after injury),but almost not in non-nodule areas except for a strongly positive staining in the vessels.Moreover,α-SMA presented a heterogeneous distribution in the collagen nodules,with stronger expression in the epidermal end than in the subcutaneous tissue end and stronger expression in the superficial dermis than that in the deeper part.It was suggested that there existed massive amount of MFb and high tension in the nodules arid that the tension distribution was not uniform in or between the nodules.Conclusions Collagen nodules are of varying shape and size and collagen types are associated with the time of nodule formation.Moreover,Formation of the collagen nodules may be closely related to the distribution and evolution of the local tissue tension.

Objective To analyze current situation and problems of health manager training in the pilot training areas. Method With the recommendations of health administration deputies in the plot areas of Shanghai, Chongqing and Urumqi, 2 centers for community health services (CHSs) were selected in each area, 9 relative persons were interviewed, 3 focus group discussions (FGDs) involved 18 persons were held totally. The FGDs focused on such questions as“the general information of the training students”“the objectives and purposes of the training in each area”, and so on. Field investigation and qualitative analysis were used to investigate the status quo and main problems of the training of health manager in the pilot areas. Result The problems of the training of health manager existing in the pilot areas mainly are:part of teachers were not fully competent to the training of health manager, training of operant skill was insufficient, training course was not unified, the assessment mechanism was not perfect. Conclusion Optimizing the construction of teachers team, standardizing the training content, increasing the time of operating skills training, establishing a unified and standardized assessment mechanism are essential.

A matrix solid phase dispersion ( MSPD) method was developed for the simultaneous preparation of samples of 15 mycotoxin biomarkers including deoxynivalenol, aflatoxins and zearalenone from eggs, which were subsequently determined by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry ( LC-ESI-MS/MS) under the multiple reaction monitoring ( MRM) mode. For the analysis, the samples were first mixed with C18 particles and loaded into an empty column, then 20 mL of acetonitrile/methanol (1:1, V/V) containing 1 mmol/L ammonium formate was used to elute the sample. The eluent was then dried with nitrogen flow and redissolved into the mobile phase. After filtration, samples were brought into vials and used for analysis. Different from other methods, no extra complicated purification and centrifugation steps were required in the procedure of MSPD. This method had good linearity in the range of 0. 2-100 ng/mL, with the correlation coefficient (r2) greater than 0. 9931. The limits of detection (LODs, S/N=3) and limits of quantification ( LOQs, S/N=3 ) of this method were 0. 05-2 μg/kg and 0. 2-4 μg/kg respectively. Comprehensive extraction recoveries of the 15 compounds ranged from 61% to 90%.

Objective To investigate the effect and regulation mechanism of mimic ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) cul-ture of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) on levels of tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-αand intercellular adhe-sion molecule (ICAM)-1. Methods HUVECs were randomly divided into four groups:control group (normal media cell cul-ture+control siRNA transfection), mimic I/R+control siRNA transfection group (HUVECs were transfected with control siR-NA, for 48 h ,and then received mimic ischemic media culture for 30 min followed by normal media culture for 4 h), normal culture+p65 siRNA transfection group and mimic I/R+p65 siRNA transfection group. The expression levels of TNF-αand ICAM-1 mRNA and protein were determined by real-time PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respec-tively. Results The mRNA and supernatant protein levels of TNF-αand ICAM-1 were significantly increased in mimic I/R culture group (4.96±0.16 and 3.33±0.30)μg/L than those of other tree groups (P<0.05). The level of ICAM-1 mRNA was significantly higher in I/R+p65 siRNA transfection group (1.87±0.21)μg/L than that of control group (1.58±0.15) μg/L and normal culture+p65 siRNA transfection group [(1.69±0.21)μg/L, P<0.05]. The levels of TNF-αand ICAM-1proteins were (329.98 ± 12.18) μg/L and (654.74 ± 64.79) μg/L in mimic I/R+control siRNA transfection group, which were significantly higher than those of other three groups (P<0.05). The levels of TNF-αand ICAM-1 proteins were (129.65±22.42)μg/L and (185.76±11.27)μg/L in mimic I/R+p65 siRNA transfection group, which were significantly lower than those of contro group [(183.50±11.77)μg/L and (280.43±13.76)μg/L, P<0.05]. Conclusion The silencing of p65 through transfection of p65 siRNA in HUVECs inhibited mimic I/R-induced mRNA and protein expressions of TNF-αand ICAM-1.
