Objective:To observe the effect of combining intraosseous infusion (IO) and hyperosmotic salt fluid in resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock. Methods:Twenty rabbit models of haemorrhagic shock were established. The blood pressure, heart rate, biochemical indexes, artery blood gas analysis, etc . were compared at 3 different time points after infusion between IO and peripheral intravenous infusion groups. Results:The resuscitative effect through IO with hyperosmotic salt fluid was the same as that of the peripheral vascular access. Conclusion:The combination of intraosseous infusion and hyperosmotic salt fluid is effective for resuscitation of haemorrhagic shock.

OBJECTIVETo compare the efficacy differences between dog-days medicinal vesiculation and regular-day medicinal vesiculation for perennial allergic rhinitis (PAR), and observe their effects on serum immune globulin E (IgE) and interleukin-4 (IL-4).
METHODSSeventy-two patients were randomly divided into a dog-days moxibustion group (34 cases) and a regular-day moxibustion group (38 cases). In the dog-days moxibustion group, medicinal vesiculation was applied on the 1st dog-day, 2nd dog-day and last dog-day in summer by lunar calendar, 3 treatments per dog-day for totally 9 times. In the regular-day moxibustion group, the moxibustion was given on the regular day for continuous 9 times. The symptom score, rhinoconjunctivitis quality of life questionnaire (RQLQ) and the level of IgE and IL-4 were compared before and after treatment in two groups; the short-term and two-year efficacy evaluation were performed too.
RESULTSThe short-term total effective rate was 88.2% (30/34) in the dog-days moxibustion group, which was not significantly different to 86.8% (33/38) in the regular-day moxibustion group (P>0.05). The long-term total effective rate was 97.1% (33/34) in the dog-days moxibustion group, which was significantly superior to 81.6% (31/38) in the regular-day moxibustion group (P<0.05). After treatment, the serum IgE, IL-4 and RQLQ were significantly reduced (all P<0.01), but the difference between two groups was not significant (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONMedicinal moxibustion could be taken as a regular treatment for PAR, which could be performed during the whole year, and dog-days moxibustion could be considered as an enhanced method for prevention and treatment of PAR.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy of reduced glutathione in the treatment of drug-induced liver disease. METHODS: Literatures were retrieved from PubMed, Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, CBM, VIP, CNKI databases by computer and from relevant Chinese medical journals by hand. Trial selection, quality evaluation and information extraction were performed according to including and excluding criteria. Meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.0 software. RESULTS: The meta-analysis of 13 included RCTs showed that total effective rate, ALT and total bilirubin in trial group were significantly different from control group(P

In this paper, the function of the iel gene from baculovirus Spodoptera exigua multiple nucleopolyhedrovirus (SeMNPV), belonging to group Ⅱ nucleopolyhedrovirus, was studied in mammalian cells.We amplified the SeMNPV ie1 gene and expressed it by fusing to the C terminal of enhanced GFP protein in HEK 293 cells. Confocal microscopy revealed that the IE1-GFP fusion protein was localized in the nucleus of the mammalian cells. The promoter sequences of AcMNPV gp64, SeMNPV F protein and Drosophila hsp70 were also analyzed, to further study the function of SeMNPV IE1. The results showed that, in the absence of the hr sequence, IE1 improved the expression of the F promoter but didn't influence the gp64 promoter significantly, but IE1 moderately stimulated the hsp70 promoter.

Objective To explore the clinical value of u ltrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration and drainage for bacterial liver absces s in children. Methods Under the guidance of ultrasonography, 15 children with bacterial hepatic abscess underwent percutaneous aspiration or drainage. Among them, 9 were given percutaneous aspiration for 1~4 times, and 6 underwent percutaneous drainage. Results Percutaneous aspirati on or drainage was successfully accomplished in all the 15 children, 14 of whom were cured. The hospital stay was 15~42 days (mean, 26.3 days). No bleeding or b ile leakage happened. Follow-up for 4~12 months (mean, 6.8 months) in 11 childre n showed no recurrence. One patient with no improvement left hospital of his own accord. Conclusions Ultrasound-guided percutaneous aspiration and drainage is a feasible option for the treatment of liver abscess in childre n.

Purpose:To evaluate the short-term effects and toxic side-effects of GEM plus CBP combination chemotherapy in treating advanced non-small-cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods:27 patients with grades Ⅲ and Ⅳ NSCLC(10 naive cases,17 retreated chemotherapy cases received Gemcitabine 1 250 mg/m 2 ,iv drip d 1.8,and carboplatin 300 mg/m 2 in the first day. Results:There were 6 CR+PR cases in naive patients,the overall response rate(OR)was 60.0%,iv drip 7 of retreated chemotherapy cases were CR+PR,the OR was 41.2%. The OR of both group patients was 44.4%.The main toxic side-effects of the patients were marrow-suppression. Conclusions:The combination chemotherapy of gemcitabine plus carboplatin was effective for advanced NSCLC and the toxicities were well tolerated.

Objective To explore the practicability of real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography (MCE) in assessing the transmural distribution of myocardial perfusion. Methods Three grades of left anterior descending coronary artery(LAD) stenoses were created in 6 open-chest dogs. Stenoses reduced LAD flow by 50%, 75% and 90% of hyperemia guided by flow probe. Low-energy MCE were performed at baseline, hyperemia reduced by dipyridamole, three different stenoses, reperfusion and complete occlusion, respectively, during continuously infusion of SonoVue. Regions of interest(ROI) were placed individually within endocardial and epicardial layers and myocardial signal intensity-versus-time plots just after high-energy FLASH frames were fitted to an exponential function to obtain values of A, ?, A??. The corresponding transmural gradients, defined as endocardial-epicardial ratios of A (A-EER),?(?-EER) and A??(A??-EER) were also calculated. Results The transmural distributions of A,? and A?? were more or less homogeneous at baseline,hyperemia and 50% reduced LAD flow, with their transmural gradients near 1. When LAD flow was reduced by 75%,? and A?? from endocardial layer decreased (P

Delicacy management proves a pressing need in cost management of medical service items in the current hospital operation.This paper first covered the methodology and system of hospital costing.It went on to describe the costing for four major medical service items in a quarter in 2011 using the activity-based costing method with the ultrasonographic section of a large hospital as an example.The outcomes were compared to the traditional costing method and the statutory pricing standards,resulting in the proposal and recommendation on reforming the costing methodology of service item pricing,and applying the activity-based costing management of medical service items in the hospital.
