Results The prevalence of type Ⅲ IM in long-segment BE (LSBE) and short-segment BE (SSBE) is 75. 0% and 63. 3% respectively, it is significantly higher than that in CIM (23. 1% ) and GA-IM ( 17. 7% ) (P

Objective To explore the prognostic risk factors of low level malignant obstructive jaundice treated with transhapetic biliary drainage.Methods The clinical data of 142 patients with low level malignant obstructive jaundice received percutaneous transhapetic biliary drainage management from January 2010 to June 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The study parameters included gender,age,tumor type,preoperative obstructive time,preoperative infection,drainage method,Child-Pugh grade,serum total bilirubin (TBIL),albumin (ALB),serum creatinine (SCr),the postoperative declining degree of bilirubin and postoperative antineoplastic therapy.The prognostic risk factors were evaluated.Results Single variable analysis showed that preoperative infection (P =0.006),Child-Pugh grade (P =0.004),SCr (P =0.043),the postoperative declining degree of TBIL (P =0.001) and postoperative antineoplastic therapy (P =0.015) were the related factors for survival time.The further Logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative infection (OR =3.729,95％ CI 1.332-6.363,P =0.040),Child-Pugh grade ≥ 10 scores (OR =0.513,95％ CI 0.375-1.276,P =0.018) and postoperative antineoplastic therapy (OR =0.668,95％ CI 0.210-2.026,P =0.038) were the related factors for survival time.Conclusion In treating of low level malignant obstructive jaundice with transhapetic biliary drainage,the preoperative infection,Child-Pugh grade and postoperative antineoplastic therapy may be the important related factors that affect the patient's survival time,to evaluate the prognosis of these patients has important reference meaning.

Sixty gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery during October 2010 to June 2011were randomly divided into 2 groups:laryngeal mask airway proseal ( PLMA group,n =30 ) and laryngeal mask airway classic (CLMA group,n =30).Laryngeal mask was inserted after induction.The heart rate (HR),mean arterial pressure (MAP),airway sealing pressure,the average time of placement,the pulmonary satisfaction and complications were recorded.There was no significant difference in heart rate and MAP between the two groups(P＞0.05).The airway sealing pressure [ (26 ±6) cm H2O ( 1cm H2O =0.098 kPa) vs.(16±5) cm H2O],the average time of placement [(36±5) vs.(24±6) s)] and the excellent lung ventilation(90％ vs.73％ ) in the PLMA group were more significantly increased than those in the CLMA group(P ＜0.05).PLMA can assure good airway sealing and is more suitable for gynecological patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery.

BACKGROUND:To obtain more quantum dot (QD) barcodes,the overlay peaks of fluorescence occur,leading to difficulties in identifying QD barcodes.OBJECTIVE:To identify QD barcodes of two adjacent wave length using wavelet transform technique.METHODS:Through the microscopy,the spectrum of fluorescence induced by 375 nm light was captured by spectroscopy.The spectral signal was split into multi-scale components by wavelet transform.After transformed by spline function,every component constructed a new spectrum with peaks expanded by inverse wavelet transform.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Interpolation operation was performed on original data to control the data length to 2n.Following wavelet transform,peak location remained unchanged,so the eigenvalue of spectrum of coding fluorescence was extracted.The spectrum of fluorescence mixed with microspheres was split,and two QD barcodes were identified.The improved barcodes identification of adjacent spectrum increase color of QD barcodes,thereby enhancing code information volume.Results show that following spectrum was processed by wavelet transform,overlay peaks of fluorescence has be expanded,and enhanced the efficiency of recognition,which lays a foundation for detecting tumor markers.

The activity of the NK cells in patients with preeclampsia was studied to investigate the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. By using MTT and 51Cr releasing technique, the proliferation and killing ability of the NK cells in maternal and umbilical blood from preeclampsia patients (n = 18) and normal third trimester pregnant women (n = 18) were detected. The NK-92 cell line was as the positive control. The results showed that the NK cell counts of umbilical blood in preeclampsia patients and normal third trimester pregnant women were significantly greater than those of maternal blood (both P<0.05). Compared with that in normal third trimester pregnant women, the proliferative ability of the NK cells in preeclampsia patients was apparently increased (P<0.05). Compared with that in maternal blood, the proliferative ability of the NK cells in umbilical blood from both preeclampsia patients and normal third trimester pregnant women was dramatically increased. The killing ability of the NK cells in preeclampsia patients was significantly higher than that in normal third trimester pregnant women (P <0.05). It was suggested that both number and function of the NK cells in preeclampsia women were increased, and that in umbilical blood was greater than that in maternal blood, speculating that the function of the NK cells may affect the maintenance of the maternal and fetal immune tolerance during pregnancy.

Six 89bp primers were designed on the base of the cDNA sequence encoding the human leptin reported on the NCBI. The synthetic gene with 464bp encoding rhLep was obtained by SOE ( splicing by overlap extension) PCR. The expression vector pET22b(+)/rhLep was constructed and transformed into E. coli BL21 (DE3). The rhLep protein was expressed as inclusion bodies with the yield of more than 50% of total bacterial proteins after IPTG induction. The rhLep protein, which has a molecular weight about 16kD, was purified by Ni2+ affinity chromatography column and identified by SDS-PAGE. The MTT Assay shows that rhLep promotes EC304 cells growth at the low concentration of 10ng/mL to 30 ng/mL, and rhLep appears cytotoxic to EC304 cells with the high dose of 50ng/mL to 225ng/mL. The viability of EC304 cells decreases to 1.2% with the concentration of 225ng/mL of rhLep. The massive apoptosis of rhLep on EC304 cells is observed by AO-staining under fluorescent microscope. All these results would lay the foundation for the further study of its biological functions in vitro and in vivo.

BACKGROUND: The quality of chest compressions can be significantly improved after training of rescuers according to the latest national guidelines of China. However, rescuers may be unable to maintain adequate compression or ventilation throughout a response of average emergency medical services because of increased rescuer fatigue. In the present study, we evaluated the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in training of military medical university students during a prolonged basic life support (BLS). METHODS: A 3-hour BLS training was given to 120 military medical university students. Six months after the training, 115 students performed single rescuer BLS on a manikin for 8 minutes. The qualities of chest compressions as well as ventilations were assessed. RESULTS: The average compression depth and rate were 53.7±5.3 mm and 135.1±15.7 compressions per minute respectively. The proportion of chest compressions with appropriate depth was 71.7％±28.4％. The average ventilation volume was 847.2±260.4 mL and the proportion of students with adequate ventilation was 63.5％. Compared with male students, significantly lower compression depth (46.7±4.8 vs. 54.6±4.8 mm,P<0.001) and adequate compression rate (35.5％±26.5％ vs. 76.1％±25.1％,P<0.001) were observed in female students. CONCLUSIONS: CPR was found to be related to gender, body weight, and body mass index of students in this study. The quality of chest compressions was well maintained in male students during 8 minutes of conventional CPR but declined rapidly in female students after 2 minutes according to the latest national guidelines. Physical fitness and rescuer fatigue did not affect the quality of ventilation.
