The results of early resuscitation of 104 adult patients with BSA more than 50%were studied retrospectively. Although the mean amount of fluid replaced during 48h postburn was similar to the amount calculated with our formula, there existed significant individual differences. Therefore it seems not necessary to set up a rigid fluid replacement plan. To ensure adequate tissue perfusion, the fluid replacement formula might be modified as follows: 2 ml/kg/BSA%, with urinary output 30-40 ml/h, in the first 24h; and 1.5ml/kg/BSA%, with urinary output 40-50ml/h, in the second 24h. It should be emphasized that resuscitation should be started as early as possible,and adequate amount of fluid replacement is especially important during the first 2-3h postburn.There was no obvious relationship between the incidence of visceral complications and the total amount of fluid replaced during the resuscitation. Available data indicated that the amount of fluid calculated on the basis of our formula neither increased the incidence of early pulmonary edema nor influenced its development.As far as prevention of pulmonary edema was concerned, it did not seem justifiable to restrict the amount of resuscitation fluids. It was also noted that fluid therapy alone would not prevent entirely the development of postburn renal insufficiency.

Objective To explore the effect of L-carnitine on panel reactive antibody (PRA) in hemodialysis patients. Methods 50 patients were classified randomly into 2 groups: L-carnitine group receiving intravenous injection of 2g L-carnitine after each hemodialysis for 6 months, and control group did not receive any L-carnitine treatment. The PRA in serum was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) before and after 6 months of L-carnitine treatment. Results L-carnitine significantly reduced PRA levels compared with control group(P

Tamm-Horsfall protein(THP)was determined with radioimmunoassay in the urine and blood samples of 59 burn patients.It was found that urine and blood THP was significantly decreased postburn and the degree of decresing was correlated with the extent of the burnt body surface and the severity of renal damage.The changes of THP occurred earlier than those of the routine parameters for renal damage such as BUN or Cr.It is suggested that THP determination can be used as an index for the early damage of the Henle's loop and the distal convoluted tubules after burn injury.

Electrolyte imbslance.the changes of serum aldosterone and the ratio of an-giotensin Ⅱ/arterial natriuretic peptide were studied prospectiely in 59 cases of severe burns.Meanwhile,certain parameters of renal functions were detarmined.Hypernatremia devaloped in 6 cases.On the basis of our findings,it is believed that postburn hypernatremia might result from renal dysfunction and the greatly increased mediators,which can enhance the retention of sodium,might also play an important role in the development of postburn hypernatremia.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of delayed lung lavage with exogenous pulmonary surfactant(PS)diluent on endogenous surfactant system dysfunction and acute respiratory failure caused by severe smoke inhalation in rats.Method Ninety Wistar rats were randomly separated into five groups:Group I,normal control(n=14);Group Ⅲ,smoke inhalation(n=27);GroupⅢ,smoke+PS lavage+mechanical ventilation(MV),n=21;Group IV,smoke+saline lavage+MV,n=10;Group V,smoke+MV,n=18.The lungs were lavaged with 30 ml/kg normal ssdine containing 100 mg/kg PS or same volume of saline via tra cheal catheter at 2 h after smoke inhalation,then the animals were placed on a ventilator for 4 h,and observed until 24 h after injury.The arterial blood gas level,lung water volume,static lung compliance(Cst),total protein and albumin contents in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF),surface tension properties of BALF,and fatality rate at 24 h were measured.Results Smoke inhalation caused a similar acute hypoxia and severe carbon monoxide poisoning immediately in all injured groups.The animals in group Ⅱ showed acute respiratory failure,serious hish permeability pulrnonary edema,and surfactant system dysfunction.The surface tension properties of BALF and Cst were significantly improved by delayed lung lavage treated with exogenous PS diluent in group m(P<0.05).However,the lung water volume,total protein and albumin contents in BALF and the oxygenation had not significant difference between group Ⅲ and group Ⅱ(P>0.05).Conclusions Delayed lung lavage with exogenous PS diluent,at a certain extemt,restored endogenous suffactant function inhibited by smoke inhalation and improved lung function.Nevertheless,the trent could not alleviate rash permeability pulmonary edema and respiratory failure drarnatically.The expected decrease of mortality at early stage after smoke inhalation injury was not showed yet.

Objective To report the first case of disseminated trichosporonosis in China.Methods A series of clinical,histopatholog ic,and mycologic studies were carried out in a 20year-old-female patien t,who had no definite underlying disease.The causative fungus was identified according to culture,biochemical t est and DNA sequencing.Results Abundant fungal spores,yeasts and h yphae were shown in the specimens tak en from infectious granulomas.The fungal c olonies in the culture of skin lesion s or crusts,liver,oral psedomembra ne,vagina,nasal cavity,urine,and sto ol were the same.The colonies exhibi ted creamy white to yellowish in colo r,rugose on the surface,and hyphae at t he periphery.Under microscopy,there were a lot of rectangular arthrospores,round or oval spores w ith or without buddings,as well as br anched and septate filaments.The isolated fungus was unanimously identified as Trichosporon asahii(No.AS 2.2174)through culture,bio-chemistry and molecular biology tests.The patient's condition was impr oved obviously after the combinatio n treatment of amphotericin B liposom e(Amphotec)and fluconazole.Conclusion The extensive and lasting systemic impairments caused by T.asahii have scarcely been reported at home a nd abroad.Combination therapy with amphotericin B and fluconazole is effective.

Objective To investigate the genotype and antifungal susceptibility of AspergiIlus species isolated from clinical settings and environmental sources. Methods Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed to profile the genotypes of 48 Aspergillus fumigatus strains, 59 Aspergillus flavus strains and 30 Aspergillus niger strains isolated from clinical settings and environmental sources. NCCLS M38-A protocol was carried out for antifungal susceptibility testing of these Aspergillus isolates. Results As RAPD analysis showed, the 48 Aspergillus fumigatus strains were classified into 8 genotypes, 59 Aspergillus flavus strains into 12 genotypes, and 30 Aspergillus niger strains into 5 genotypes. A significant difference was observed in the susceptibility to terbinafine among the 8 genotypes of Aspergillus fumigatus (χ2 = 33.092, P ＜0.01 ) as well as in that to amphotericin B among the 5 genotypes of Aspergillus niger (χ2 = 15.185, P＜ 0.05).No statistical difference was found in the susceptibility to amphoteriein B, itraconazole, fluconazole or flucytosine among the 8 genotypes of Aspergillus fumigatus or in that to terbinafine, itraconazole, fluconazole or flucytosine among the 5 genotypes of Aspergillus niger. Conclusion There is some difference in the susceptibility to some antifungal agents between different genotypes of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus niger.

To study the relationship between serum Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA, serum Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA marker in 229 patients positive for HbsAg were detected by using ELISA method and compared. It was found that both Pre-S1 antigen and HbeAg were correlated with HBV DNA with the coefficient being 0. 9812 and could be used to reflect the existence or reproduction of HBV DNA well. Although there was statistical correlation between them, their clinical implication was not completely the same. Therefore, a conclusion was drawn that combined detection of Pre-S1 antigen, HBV and HBV DNA in the patients with different kinds of HBV infection was helpful to clinical diagnosis, therapeutic effect evaluation and prognosis judgement.
