Objective To investigate the expression of 5-lipoxygenase activating protein gene (ALOX5AP) polymorphism in the patients with cerebral infarction,and explore its relationship with cerebral infarction susceptibility.Methods Patients with cerebral infarction and healthy volunteers were selected for this study,whose venous blood was extracted and detected with polymerase chain reaction/restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).Haplotype A (SG13S114T,SG13S89G,SG13S32A,SG13S25G),haplotype B (SG13S377A,SG13S114A,SG13S41A,SG13S35G),and their nucleotide polymorphism loci were observed.Results Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)-SG13S114,SNP-SG13S32 and HapA carrying rate were significantly different between patients with cerebral infarction and healthy volunteers (P ＜0.05).SNP-SG13S114 and SNP-SG13S32 were independent risk factors of cerebral infarction (OR ＞ 1.0,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The morbidity of cerebral infarction in Wenling City was influenced by SNP-SG13S114,SNP-SG13S32,and HapA carrying rate.

Objective To investigate the prognostic value of fever burden in traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients.Methods A retrospective analysis of 355 TBI patients admitted to the emergency department and intensive care unit from November 2010 to October 2012 was performed,and the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was followed-up 6 months after the injury.The patients were divided into two groups according to the GOS:good outcome group (4 to 5) and poor outcome group (1 to 3).Relevant clinical findings were studied by statistical description,logistic regression analysis,Spearman correlation analysis and ROC curve analysis.Results Fever burden level was continuously increased with the decrease of GOS from score 5 to 2,except for score 1 of GOS,which was corresponding to a significant lower fever burden.There were significant differences in age,pupil reactivity,Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and fever burden between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Compared to the good outcome group,the poor outcome group was featured with more advanced average age (P =0.000),poorer pupil reactivity (P =0.000),lower GCS score (P =0.000) and higher fever burden level (P =0.000).Univariate logistic regression analysis suggested that age,GCS,pupil reactivity and fever burden level (OR 1.166,95％ CI:1.117-1.217) were associatedwith poor outcome.The fever burden level and the other independent prognostic predictors as age,GCS and pupil reactivity were further included in the multivariate logistic regression model,and the adjusted OR of fever burden level was 1.098 (95％ CI:1.031-1.169,P =0.003).ROC curve analysis showed the respective AUC for fever burden was 0.713 (95％ CI:0.663-0.760).The relevant analysis revealed a significant negative correlation between the fever burden and the GOS score (r =-0.376,95％ CI:-0.462--0.283,P =0.000).Conclusions Fever burden can be considered as an independent predictor of poor outcome of patients with TBI.The TBI patients with early onset of high levels of fever burden will have increased poor outcome risk.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of serum uric acid for patients with traumatic brain injury.Methods A total of 330 patients with traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score,GCS:3-14) admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University between November 2010 and October 2012 were enrolled.They were divided into a survival group (GOS:2-5) and a non-survival group (GOS:1).The levels of serum uric acid were measured from venous blood in the morning of the second day after admission.Clinical data were analyzed by logistic regression model,spearman correlation,and ROC curve analysis.Results Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum uric acid was significantly correlated with GCS (r =-0.270 1,P =0.000) and GOS (r =-0.251 2,P =0.000).Age,GCS,pupil reaction and serum uric acid were determined as independent predictors for death by logistic model.The adjusted OR of uric acid was 1.0048,(95％ CI:1.001 9-1.007 6,P =0.001).The area under the ROC curve was 0.718,(95％ CI:0.666-0.766),the optimal cut-off value determined by the Youden index was 304 μmol/L (sensitivity:60.24％,specificity:78.14％,correctly classified:73.64％).In the core model (Age + GCS + Pupil reaction),theR2 value was 0.476 4.With uric acid added into,the predictive power of the model increased to R2 =0.510 5 (7.2％ increased).Conclusions The level of serum uric acid is significantly correlated with the severity of TBI and could be used as an independent predictor for death.

Owing to the increasing morbidity and pulmonary infection,management of pulmonary function has become an important problem for COPD patients who undergo surgery.Surgical patient with respiratory disease such as COPD has declined lung function before operation,then increased the risk of post-operative pulmonary complications.Ipratropium bromide can significantly improve pulmonary function.Therefore,we hypothesis the treatment with nebulized ipratropium bromide will benefit the perioperative patients with COPD.A randomized,double-blind,placebo-controlled,parallel-group,multi-center trial (Ipratropium bromide in Peri-Operative COPD study,IPO-COPD study)has been conducted to evaluate the efficacy and safety of nebulized ipratropium bromide in Chinese perioperative patients with COPD under general anaesthesia.A total of 192 COPD patients who satisfied the eligibility criteria were randomly assigned(1∶1) to one of the two treatment groups(ipratropium bromide 500 μg or normal saline 4 ml) for 11 days.Measurements will include the change of the forced expiratory volume in 1 second(FEV1),the forced vital capacity(FVC),blood gas analyses and main post-operative pulmonary complications.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of treating fractures of the middle-inferior humerus with double plate fixation via the upper arm posterior approach through the inner edge of the joint triceps tendon.Methods From May 2013 through May 2015,32 fractures of the middle-inferior humerus were treated with open reduction and double plate fixation by the upper arm posterior approach via the inner edge of the joint triceps tendon.They were 19 males and 13 females,aged from 17 to 54 years (mean,36.8 years).Involved were 14 left sides and 18 right sides.By AO classification,21 cases were type B and 11 type C,all closed fractures.X-ray examinations were regularly conducted at postoperative follow-ups;function of the elbow joint was assessed according to the Jupiter elbow joint grading system at the final follow-up.Results All the 32 patients were followed up for 6 to 20 months (average,11.5 months).The fractures healed after 4 to 7 months (average,5.0 months).The flexion ranged from 120° to 135° (average,125°),and the extension ranged from 0 to 8° (average,5°).There were no such complications as postoperative infection,plate breakage,or nonunion.According to the Jupiter elbow joint grading system at the final follow-up,there were 15 excellent cases,14 good ones,and 3 fair ones,giving a good to excellent rate of 90.6％.Conclusion Open reduction and double plate fixation by the upper arm posterior approach via the inner edge of the joint triceps tendon is simple for fractures of the middle-inferior humerus and leads to satisfactory reduction,reliable fixation,and fine outcomes.
