Circulatory state and metabolic homeostasis could be more easily disturbed during perioperative periods for children compared with those of adults especially when receiving massive transfusions.Patient's age would be an important factor for clinical evaluation if certain amount of blood was lost.Component transfusions have now gained wide recognitions.Specific blood components should be considered according to different diseases,which would make transfusion more accurate and blood resources used more efficiently.This article focused on the indications,doses and several specific issues for perioperative component transfusions among pediatric patients.

Objective We want to study the therapeutic efficiency of autologous ADMSC transplantation in myocardial infarction.And we try to find out a good way to improve the therapeutic efficiency by using the combination of gene therapy and cell therapy.Anti-apoptotic protein XIAP was selected to fight against the ischemic environment of myocardic infaction.Methods ADMSC was isolated from rat inguinal fat tissue.ADMSC was cultivated with DMEM.XIAP experession plasmid was elertco-transduced to ADMSC.The anti-apototic function of XIAP was tested by serum stavation induced apotosis.The method of ligation of the left anterior descending artery was used to prepare the Myocardial infarction model.Then rats were randomly separated into three groups to receive direct epicardial injections of normal saline,or ADMSCs cell suspension or XIAP modified ADMSCs cell suspension at five sites in central zones of myocardial infarction and border zone.Cardiac function and the infarct size were evaluated 4 weeks after ADMSCs transplantation.Results West blotting suggest that,XIAP over-expression block serum starvation induced apotosis.It showed that there are significant statistic difference among XIAP modified ADMSC transplantation group,ADMSC transplantation group and control group 4 weeks after myocardial infarction (P < 0.05).Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) showed a significant improvement in ADMSCs transplantation group compared to control group (P <0.05).Left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVDs) and left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVDd) of ADMSCs group were smaller than control group(P < 0.05).The area of myocardial infarction was significantly reduced in the ADMSCs transplantation group compared to the saline group(P <0.05).Compared to ADMSCs transplantation group,effect of the XIAP modified ADMSC in rats with myocardial infarction is more obvious.The reduction of LVEF of XIAP modified ADMSCs group was signific antly lower(9%) than the ADMSCs group(16%) (P < 0.01).Infarction area in XIAP modified ADMSCs group(3.26 ±0.95)% was smaller than ADMSCs group(5.17 ±2.03)% (P <0.05).Conclusion Autologus ADMSC transplantation is an efficient therapeutic tool in myocardial infarction therapy.Over expression of XIAP can partly inhibit lowserum induced apotosis of ADMSC in vitro,and it can improve left ventricular function better in vivo.Over expression XIAP of ADMSC can improve the therapeutic efficiency compare to ADMSC transplantation.

Objective To explore the profiles of physical activity domains among professionals with different occupational activity patterns.Methods A cluster random sampling method was used to recruit employed adults aged 30-60 years in Beijing as well as Zhejiang province.The information on the physical activity domains was collected with a revised Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ).Results Of 3 326 professionals,about 30.79%,50.75% and 18.46% adults had Class Ⅰ (mostly sedentary reading or writing during work time) ,Class Ⅱ (mostly working with arms or legs with little effort) ,and Class Ⅲ (working with effort)occupational activity patterns,respectively.The median volume of leisure time activity and bicycling were all 0 Met-min/week,and no significant difference of domestic activity volume was detected among all the three classes of professionals.Of all the non-occupational activity volume among three classes of adults,domestic activity accounted for the most proportion (58.87%) performed by adults of Class Ⅱ,traffic activity accounted for the most proportion (34.2%) by those of Class Ⅲ,and leisure time activity accounted for the most proportion (12.7%) by those of Class Ⅰ.Most time was spent in sedentary behaviors by those of Class Ⅰ after hours.Conclusions Besides the generally low level of moderate activity,the diversity of the domains of physical activity among this population was evident.It is necessary to develop appropriate technology to improve physical activity for professionals with different occupational activity patterns.

The big-data era has arrived, which involves all professions and trades. Its impact on the medical field has gradually revealed. With the characteristics of big data "4V" (volume, velocity, variety, value) and its theory generality with TCM (holistic thinking, correlativity) as well as regularity of disease development, combined with present status of acupuncture clinical research, the influences of big-data era on trial design, data collection, analysis and sharing of acupuncture clinical research are discussed in this paper, aiming to provide references for solving the difficulties of study design and determining the future research direction of acupuncture clinical research.

Background and purpose: With the increase of aging population, elderly patients (age ≥70 years) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma occurred more and more. However, few studies have focused on elderly esophageal squamous cell carcinoma patients. This study aimed to assess the outcomes and prognostic factors for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma treated after deifnitive chemoradiotherapy. Methods:We retrospectively analyzed 53 patients (age≥70 years) with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma and treated with deifnitive radiotherapy with or without chemotherapy from Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center from Mar. 2009 to Dec. 2011. Results:Median age was 74 years. Twenty-nine patients underwent radiotherapy, 24 patients underwent radiochemotherapy. 1-, 2-, 3-, and 5- year survival was 62%, 44%, 33% and 19% respectively. Grade 2 and above acute radiation-induced esophageal toxicity and radiation pneumonitis occur rate was 6% and 9% respectively. No treatment-related deaths occurred and no patients experienced any grade 4 and above toxicities. Multivariate analysis identiifed treatment modality, tumor site and smoking history as independent prognostic factors for overall survival. Conclusion:Radiotherapy may be an acceptable treatment option for elderly patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. In appropriately selected patients, concurrent chemotherapy could bring a better overall survival.

AlM:To evaluate the efficacy of retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide ( TA ) combined with 577nm laser macular grid photocoagulation for the treatment of cystoid macular edema.
METHODS: Fifty-eight cases ( 66 eyes ) with cystoid macular edema caused by different diseases were recruited in this study. The included patients were treated with both retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide and 577nm laser macular grid photocoagulation. The best corrected visual acuity, macular thickness, fundus and intraocular pressure were observed in the 1wk, 1 and 3mo after the treatment in all of the included cases.
RESULTS: After treatment, all of the 66 eyes showed cystoid macular edema partially or completely subsided according to optical coherence tomography and fluorescence fundus angiography; 54 eyes ( 82%) visual acuity improved, 12 vision remained the same.
CONCLUSlON: Retrobulbar injection of triamcinolone acetonide combined with 577nm laser macular grid photocoagulation has good curative effect, simple operation procedure and rare complications in the management of cystoid macular edema.
