Objective To investigate the effects of different DO2-directed hemodynamic man-agement on postoperative prognosis of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT)patients with different degrees of liver function insufficiency.Methods Seventy patients (male 48 cases,female 22 cases, aged 37-66 years,ASA grade Ⅲ or Ⅳ)scheduled non veno-venous bypass OLT were divided into two groups (n = 35 each ).The oxygen delivery (DO2 )maintained respectively between 350 ml·min-1 ·m-2 and 500 ml·min-1 ·m-2 (group control)and more than 500 ml·min-1 ·m-2 (group study).After induction of anesthesia,the left radial artery was cannulated,allowing continu-ous blood pressure monitoring as well as serial blood sampling,then the Swan-Ganz catheter was in-serted via the right internal jugular vein to continuously monitor CI and S-vO2 .After anesthesia induc-tion and before operation (T1 ),10 min before anhepatic phase (T2 ),30 min after onset of anhepatic phase (T3 ),30 min after neohepatic phase (T4 )and the end of surgical procedure (T5 ),the SaO2 , PaO2 ,Hb,CI and S-vO2 were recorded to calculate the DO2 ,VO2 and ERO2 .Postoperatively,ICU and hospital length of stay,quality of life (QOL)and 1-5 year survival rate were recorded.Results In the two groups,CI,DO2 and VO2 declined at T3 to a statistically significant degree in comparison with T1 (P <0.05).CI,DO2 and VO2 in group study significantly higher than those of group control (P <0.05).ERO2 in group study was lower than that of group control significantly (P <0.05).ICU and hospital length of stay were significantly shorten in group study in comparison with group control (P <0.05).Survival rate and QOL in group study tended to be slightly higher than those of group control until the end of study period,but there was no significant difference.Conclusion The DO2-directed hemodynamic management can improve prognosis with enhanced DO2 in OLT patients with different degrees of hepatic insufficiency.It has a positive impact on their outcome of shortening ICU stay and the hospitalization days.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture plus thunder fire moxibustion plus deglutition training plus VitalStim electrical stimulation on patients with deglutition disorder of early stroke.Methods 80 patients with deglutition disorder of early stroke were randomly divided into treatment group and control group,40 cases in each group.The treatment group was treated with acupuncture plus thunder fire moxibustion plus deglutition training plus VitalStim electrical stimulation,while the control group was only treated with deglutition training.The therapeutic effects of all patients were assessed by using drinking experiment before therapy and twenty times after therapy. Results The total effective rate of the treatment group was 97.5%,which was significantly higher than 82.5% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(χ2 =12.50,P <0.05).Watian integration of the two groups were decreased after treatment,the difference was significant(t =5.606,9.056,all P <0.05),which of the treatment group was significantly lower than the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t =3.044,P <0.05). The lung infection rate and malnutrition rates in the control group were 10.0% and 20.0%,which were significantly higher than those in the treatment group(2.5% and 5.0%),the differences were statistically significance(χ2 =4.80, 10.29,all P <0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus thunder fire moxibustion plus deglutition training plus VitalS-tim electrical stimulation are beneficial to the recovery of swallowing functions to early swallowing disorder in patients and could avoid the incidence of aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition.

Objective To understand the change of transient bacteria on surface in clinical ward before and after terminal disin‐fection ,provide the basis for controlling of hospital infection .Methods Surface samples were collected before and after terminal dis‐infection in infected patch of our hospital ,and then bacterial in the samples were cultured and identified .Compared changes about number and type of samples bacterial ,distribution of common clinical pathogenic bacteria before and after of the terminal disinfec‐tion .Results The surface colony number < 10 CFU /cm2 accounted for 63 .54% after terminal disinfection ,compared with the dis‐infection before 56 .29% ,increased 7 .25 percentage points .Surface sampling microorganism detecting rate decreased by 6 .74% . Surface average bacteria colony had different degree decreased before and after disinfection ,except the bed frame and quilt cover . Water tap ,which was the largest amount of bacteria surface ,followed by the bedside table .Before and after disinfection ,the mainly common microorganism was environment bacteria in infected patch ,including coagulase negative staphylococcus ,gram positive ba‐cilli ,Micrococcus ,Acinetobacter spp .Clinical common pathogenic bacteria mainly isolated from the department of brain surgery (9 .49% ) ,department of hepatology(8 .76% ) ,department of dermatology (8 .76% ) ,department of pediatrics (8 .03% ) ,emergency department (7 .30% ) .Pathogenic bacteria living areas were mainly the bedside table (21 .17 % ) ,water tap (18 .25% ) ,bed rest (12 .41% ) .Conclusion Terminal disinfection could effectively reduce the number of bacteria in the infected patch ,improve the ward environmental sanitation quality ,it have an important significance in the prevention of hospital infection control .

Objective To observe the influence of intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate (HA) on mRNA expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) -1, -3 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 in cartilage and synovium of osteoarthritis (OA) . Methods Sixteen white rabbits underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection and were divided into 2 groups randomly 5 weeks after transection. Experimental group rabbits received 0.3 ml of intra-articular 1% HA injection once a week. Animals in control group were treated under the same condition using saline. At death, 10 weeks following surgery, histological changes of articular cartilage of medial femoral condyle were evaluated by microscopy. The mRNA expression of MMP-1, MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in cartilage and synovium was analyzed using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) . Results Cartilage degradation in experimental group was significantly less severe than that in the control group. The expression of MMP-3 mRNA in synovium was significantly suppressed in experimental group compared with the control group (0.40?0.10 vs 0.62?0.13). HA treatment had no effect on MMP-3 expression in cartilage. No significant difference of MMP-1 and TIMP-1 expression in cartilage and synovium was found between experimental group and control group. Conclusion HA can alleviate the degeneration of articular cartilage of OA. One possible mechanism of the therapeutic effect of HA may be inhibition of expression of MMP-3 in synovium during early stage of OA.

Objective To observe the effect of intra-articular injection of sodium hyaluronate (Na-HA) on mRNA expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in cartilage of osteoarthritis (OA). Methods Sixteen white rabbits were underwent unilateral anterior cruciate ligament transection and were divided into 2 groups randomly 5 weeks after transection. Experimental group rabbits received 0.3 ml of intra-articular 1% Na-HA injection once a week. Animals in control group were treated with the same conditions using normal saline. All animals were sacrificed 10 weeks following surgery. The aritcular cartilage degeneration of medial femoral condyle was evaluated at mascroscopically and microscopically. The mRNA expression of iNOS in cartilages was analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Results Cartilage degradation in experimental group was significantly less severe than that in control group. No significant difference of iNOS mRNA expression in cartilage was found between the experimental group and the control group. Conclusion Na-HA can significantly reduce the severity of cartilage degradation of OA. Na-HA dose not show definite effect on iNOS expression in cartilage during early stage of OA.
