Objective To investigate the efficacy of bilevel positive airway pressure mechanical ventilation (BiPAP) in the patients of acute organophosphorus pesticides poisoning (AOPP) with respiratory failure. Methods 44 AOPP patients with respiratort failure were randomly divided into experimental group (n = 22) and control group (n = 22). The routine trentment was given to both groups, additional BiPAP assisted ventilation was given to the treatment group. Blood gas,heart rate and respiratory rate were detected before and 2 h,24 h,48 h after treatment, and the rote of intubatinn,mortality,duration and cost of hospitalization were compared between two groups. Results Heart rate,PaO2 was significantly increased and PaCO2 decreased in BiPAP ventilation (P <0. 05). The mortality,intubatien rate and cost of hospitalization were significantly decreased in BiPAP treatment group (P < 0. 05). Conclusion The BiPAP ventilation is certainly effective to acute organophosphorus pesticides poisoning with respiratory failure. It could obviously improve the clinical symptoms and arterial blood gas analysis, and could reduce the mortaiity, rate of intubotion,cost of hospitalization of patients of acute organophosphoms pesticides poisoning with respiratory failure.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and safety of helix hydro-jet lithotrity in treatment of calculus of intrahepatic duct and to establish its basic parameters.Methods The parameter of hydro-jet Was set at different levels of pressure(5000-9000 kPa)and different nozzle directions,and the effect of different parameter wag observed and analyzed in three groups.including 32 ex vivo intrahapatic gallstones.thirty-two ex vivo swine bile ducts and 31 ex vivo bile ducts obtained from patients with hepatolithiasis.Results Lithotrity was successful in all groups with a jet pressure of 5000-9000 kPa.The multiple regression analysis showed that the time of procedure depended linearly on the minimal stone diameter,stone weight andjet pressure.The time of procedure and the time needed to damage the bile duct decreased with the increase in jet pressure.At same jet pressure,the smaller the angle between nozzle and bile duct,the longer the time needed to cause damage in bile duct.The technique was successfully performed in 60 patients,with no severe complications,including bile duct injury.Conclusion It is feasible to treat hepatolithiasis with hydro-jet lithotrity.The most optimal operation condition was hydro-jet pressure of 6000-7500 kPa and frequency of 1 Hz.

Objective To study atrioventricular conduction during right coronary artery infarction and its correlation with sympathetic nerve.Method AIMI model by ligating the fight coronary artery of denervated autonomic nervous cats was used.The A,H and V-wave were measured from the His electrode by template matching.The AA,AH,HV intervals with and without sympathetic nerve stimulation were measured respectivelv.Results The decreased percentage of AH intervals was (7±5)% vs.(14±5)% (without pacing) and (12±2)% vs.(23±7)% (with pacing) respectively in ischemia and normal after sympathetic nerve stimulation,and the decreasing amplitude were 50% and 48% respectively.Conclusion The regulating function of sympathetic nerve on atrioventricular conduction decreased after ischemia related to the right coronary artery.This decrease may be one of the mechanisms that lead to atrioventficular block after acute inferior myocardial infarction.

Some types of bacteria swim through rotating their flagella. The swimming mechanism of bacteria during flagella bundling and tumble process is analyzed. The effects of body rotation and flagellum′s polymorphic transitions on bundling processes and the wall effect phenomenon are also discussed. Finally, based on dynamics similarity, a new microrobot module is put forward to further studying the flagella swimming phenomena. The research would be very helpful for constructing the bionic swimming robots under the low Reynolds number.

Throughout the twenty-first century, robotic surgery has been used in multiple oral surgical procedures for the treatment of head and neck tumors and non-malignant diseases. With the assistance of robotic surgical systems, maxillofacial surgery is performed with less blood loss, fewer complications, shorter hospitalization and better cosmetic results than standard open surgery. However, the application of robotic surgery techniques to the treatment of head and neck diseases remains in an experimental stage, and the long-lasting effects on surgical morbidity, oncologic control and quality of life are yet to be established. More well-designed studies are needed before this approach can be recommended as a standard treatment paradigm. Nonetheless, robotic surgical systems will inevitably be extended to maxillofacial surgery. This article reviews the current clinical applications of robotic surgery in the head and neck region and highlights the benefits and limitations of current robotic surgical systems.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the changes of the cardiac hemodynamics after acute high altitude exposure in healthy young males and the relationship with acute mountain sickness(AMS).

METHODSLeft ventricular function and oxyhemoglobin saturation (SaO2), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP) were measured in 218 healthy young males before and after high altitude exposure within 24 h respectively. According to the lake louise score criteria, the subjects were divided into two groups: acute mountain sickness group (AMS group) and non acute mountain sickness group (non-AMS group).

RESULTSHR, diastolic blood pressure (DBP), mean arterial pressure (MAP), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), stroke volume (SV), stroke index (SI) cardiac output (CO), cardiac index (CI) were significantly increased upon acute high altitude exposure (P < 0.05). Whereas SaO2 and end-systolic volume (ESV) were significantly decreased (P < 0.05). In addition, HR, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and MAP in AMS group were significantly higher than those in non-AMS group (P < 0.05). But stroke index (SI) and end-diastolic volume (EDV) in AMS group were significantly lower than those in non-AMS group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONCardiac function in healthy young males upon acute high altitude exposure was enhanced. EDV, HR and SI might become the indexes of predicting the acute mountain sickness in the future.
