5.The role of plasma placental isoferritin in pathogenesis of preeclampsia and its predictive value for preeclampsia
Chinese Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology 2001;36(4):209-211
Objective To investigate the effect of placental isoferritin in pathogenesis of preeclampsia and its predictive value. Methods A prospective double-blinded study was performed. There were 120 initial normal pregnant women at earlier third trimester (from 24 to 34 weeks) in this study. Their plasma placental isoferritin and nitric oxide (NO) metabolites (nitrite/nitrate) (NO2-/NO3-) were examined by enzyme linked immunoabsorbent assay (ELISA) and Griess assay respectively. The outcomes of pregnancies were followed up. Results In 120 initial normal pregnant women, 19 pregnant women occurred preeclampsia (preeclampsia group), and 101 cases were normal (normal group) at follow up. The levels of plasma placental isoferritin (PLF) were significantly decreased in preeclampsia group (285.31±53.73 mg/L) than that of normal group (699.05±203.03) mg/L, P<0.01. The levels of plasma NO were significantly increased in preeclampsia group (54.57±32.71 μmol/L) than that of normal group (38.89±30.00) μmol/L, P<0.05. The significant negative correlation between the plasma placental isoferritin and NO levels was observed(r=0.329,P<0.01). At the cut point of 400 mg/L PLF level, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and Kappa index of PLF level predicting on the outcomes of pregnancy with preeclampsia were 100%, 85.15%, 55.88%, 100%, 0.645. Conclusions The decrease of plasma placental isoferritin levels is associated with preeclampsia, and the endothelial cell damage may be one of its mechanism. The PLF may be an earlier predictor of preeclampsia at 24~34 gestational weeks.
6.The study and development of retrograde cerebral perfusion technique
International Journal of Biomedical Engineering 2001;24(2):70-73
RCP is a new technique of cerebral protection that perfuses oxygenated blood from the venous system to cerebral tissue. When the corporeal circulation is arrested during the cardiovascular operation ,this method can be applied to delivery blood full of oxygen to cerebrum so as to prolong the tolerance time of cerebral tissue to ischemic injury and then gain abundant time for operation. Simultaneously,this method can reduce the reperfusion time of cerebrum significantly for a stroke patient so prolong the treatment time window of stroke and improve the treatment effect ion of medicine. This report summarizes the development and clinical application of this technique in recent twenty years and prospects its development direction in the future.

Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2009;16(3):222-224
Objective To assess the effect of lung protective ventilation on outcome of children with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Between January 1999 and December 2007,43 children with ARDS were enrolled from PICU of Shanghai Children's Medical Center and assigned to the protective-ventilation group(group A) or the conventional-ventilation group(group B).The patients in group A (from January 2004 to December 2007)received lower tidal volume(6~7 ml/kg) and high levels of positive end-expiratory pressure(PEEP),and optimal oxygenation was achieved by adjusting FiO2 and PEEP.The patients in group B(from January 1999 to December 2003) received relatively higher tidal volume(8~12 mL/kg) with lower PEEP(2~6 cm H2O),and optimal oxygenation was achieved by adjusting FiO2.Tidal volume,PEEP,arterial blood gas,mortality and the number of ventilator-free days were compared between the two groups.Results Since protective ventilation was adopted after 2004,tidal volume was significantly lower in group A[(7.09±1.66)ml/kg]as compared with that in group B[(9.82±2.31) ml/kg](P=0.001).PEEP was significantly higher in group A[(7.15±2.08) cm H2O]as compared with that of group B[(5.40 + 1.84) cm H2O](P=0.021).The mortality was 30.3% in group A and 60.0% in group B.The number of ventilator-free days were(10.88±8.84) d in group A and(8.40±10.86) d in group B.Although mortality was lower and number of ventilator-free days was greater in group A,no significant differences were found between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Lung protective ventilation may improve the outcome for pediatric patients with ARDS,however,larger trials are required before a definite conclusion can be reached.
9.Surgical anatomy and occurrence of injury in choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction
Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery 2009;8(3):171-173
The choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junc-tion is located at the central part of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal region. During early embryogenetic stage, the primary duodenum develops from the end of foregut and the beginning part of the midgut. The dorsal pancreas, hepatic diverticulum and the ventral pancreas which arises from the basic part of hepatic diverticulum are growing and rotating following the duodenum. During the course, the formations of the choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal region and the central part of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction are complete. The injuries in cho-ledocho-pancreatico-duedenal junction may be caused by metal probe or lithotomy forceps for exploring, dilatating the distal bile duct or taking out the stones from the bile duct. Even if the injuries of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction are deve-loped in a limited scope of several centimeters, several adjacent organs may be involved. Injuries in choledocho-pancreatico-duo-denal junction are hard to be identified during operation and may develop into serious pathological procedures.
10.A trial of two-way referral system between community health service and medical center
Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2009;8(3):179-181
The trial of two-way referral enrolled 26 patients with hypertension, including 20 cases of refractory hypertension, 3 new cases and 3 cases of secondary hypertension, the average length of follow-up was 22 d (10-35 d). The family physicians in Huaihaizhong Road Community Health Service Center communicated with specialists in the medical center (Ruijin hospital), appointments were made and medical information and other materials were sent in advance. When investigations and adjustment of medication were made, and the blood pressure was under control, patients were referred back to the community. This two-way referral system promoted the information exchanges between two side, doctors got prior knowledge about patients' condition and would spend more time with the patients; and patients' feeling of satisfaction and compliance of the treatment were increased. From our experiences, we suggest that the therapeutic regime made by the medical center should be feasible to the community, and more convenience should be given to the referred patients, so that the effectiveness and efficiency of the two-way referral can be further improved.
