Objective To report the early mortality and associated risk factors after damage control operation (DCO) in patients with severe abdominal trauma.Methods A total of 146 patients hospitalized from January to March in 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Early death was defined as death occurring within 72 h of first surgery and before the definitive surgery.Based on the death definition, the subjects were divided into death group and survival group.The two groups were compared for gender, age, injury time, injury classification, vital signs, need for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, Glasgow coma score (GCS), injury severity score (ISS), hemoglobin, platelets, prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), blood pH, base excess, operative time, and postoperative acute physiology and chronic health evaluation score Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ).Logistic regression analysis was applied to examine the predicators of early postoperative mortality.Results There were 118 patients (80.8%) in survival group and 28 patients (19.2%) in death group.Survival and death groups differed significantly with regard to the percent of elderly (6.8% vs.21.4%), percent of patients with multiple injury (62.7% vs.85.7%), body temperature [(36.1 ± 0.4) vs.(35.2 ± 0.8) ℃], percent of patients with greater ISS (31.4% vs.64.3%), PT [(12.1±1.5) vs.(13.9±1.2)s], bloodpH (7.25±0.04vs.7.08±0.11), base excess [(-8.9±2.8) vs.(-10.6±3.3)mmol/L], postoperative APACHE Ⅱ[(12.8 ± 1.8) vs.(17.5 ± 2.0) points] (P < 0.05).Logistic regression analysis identified the age (OR=1.512, 95% CI 1.112-4.157,P<0.05), ISS (OR =1.313,95% CI 1.134-5.442, P < 0.05), APACHE Ⅱ (OR =1.361,95 % CI 1.182-5.222, P < 0.05) as the independent risk factors for early mortality.Conclusion The patients underwent DCO for severe abdominal trauma has a high early mortality, which is closely associated with the age, injury severity and postoperative medical status.

Background:Gastric cancer is a common gastrointestinal malignancy. The detection rate of early gastric cancer is still low in China,and some gastric cancer patients visit the hospital due to acute disease,such as gastric perforation. Aims:To investigate the influence of acute disease on long-term prognosis in gastric cancer patients. Methods:A total of 318 patients with gastric cancer from Jan. 2009 to Jan. 2015 at Shaoxing People’s Hospital were enrolled,and were divided into acute disease group and non-acute disease group. Clinicopathological characteristics were analyzed. Patients were followed up,and survival rate was compared between the two groups. Results:Fifty-three(16. 7% )patients had acute disease,and the remaining 265(83. 3% )patients were without acute disease. Compared with non-acute disease group, percentage of TNM Ⅳ stage was significantly increased(P < 0. 05),and percentage of radical surgery was significantly decreased in acute disease group(P < 0. 05). Kaplan-Meier assay showed that survival rate in acute disease group was significantly decreased when compared with non-acute disease group( P < 0. 05). After adjusting the TNM stage and surgical treatment,no significant difference in survival rate was found between the two groups. Conclusions:Gastric cancer patients with acute disease have lower survival rate. Acute disease may be not an independent prognostic factor, higher TNM stage and lower proportion of radical surgery are the main reasons for poor prognosis in gastric cancer patients with acute disease.

Objective To analyze the association of the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) and Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) with chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV)infection.Methods A total of 150 patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) admitted to Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from January 2011 to May 2012 and 168 healthy controls were enrolled in the study.The genotypes of TLR7 IVS2-151 (rs179009) were detected by Sanger sequencing,and the genotypes of TLR9 T-1486C (rs187084) were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).SPSS 15.0 was used for statistical analysis,and goodness-of-fit test for HardyWeinberg equilibrium was also performed.Results The frequency of TLR7 IVS2-151G was higher in malepatients with CHC than that in male controls (41.4% vs.21.6%,x2 =7.250,P =0.007,OR =0.389,95% CI:0.194-0.781) ; however the female CHC patients had a higher frequency of TLR7 IVS2-151A than the female controls (76.9% vs.63.1%,x2 =7.202,P =0.007,OR =1.942,95% CI:1.192-3.164).No significant difference in the distribution of TLR9 T-1486C (rs187084) gene SNP was observed betweenCHC and control groups (P >0.05).Conclusion TLR7 IVS2-151 (rs179009) is correlated with HCV infection,which may be involved in the pathogenesis of CHC.

Objective To analyze the clinical value of ultrasound-guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy in the treatment of simple renal cyst. Methods A total of eighty patients with simple renal cyst, who were divided into 40 groups according to the random number table, were divided into two groups from February 2016 to April 2017. The traditional group used traditional open renal cyst unroofing decompression. Ultrasound guided ultrasound guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy was performed in the ultrasound guided group. The therapeutic effect, operation time and the rate of successful puncture were compared between two groups of simple renal cysts. It needs to compare the volume of the cyst and the quality of life before and after the intervention. Results Ultrasound guided group simple renal cyst treatment effect was higher than the traditional group (P<0.05). The operation time of the ultrasound guided group was shorter than that of the traditional group, and the success rate of the one shot puncture was higher than that of the traditional group(P<0.05). Before the intervention, the volume and quality of life of the two groups were similar. In the ultrasound guided group, the volume and quality of life in the ultrasound guided group were better than those in the traditional group(P<0.05). Conclusion Ultrasound guided percutaneous Lauromacrogol Injection sclerotherapy is of high clinical value in the treatment of simple renal cysts. The utility model can improve the success rate of one puncture, shorten the operation time, and the exact effect can speed up the regression of symptoms and reduce the volume of the cyst. Therefore, this method can improve the quality of life of patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of nucleocapsid (N) protein of severe acute respiratory syndrome-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) on the expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2). Methods 293T cells were co-transfected with reporter plasmid pCOX-2-Luc containing the luciferase gene under the control of COX-2 promoter and plasmids carrying individual genes of SARS-CoV, and luciferase activity was measured. Expression of COX-2 mRNA and protein was measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot. Results N protein of SARS-CoV enhanced COX-2 gene promoter activity, and upregulated COX-2 mRNA expression.COX-2 protein production in 293T cells was N protein concentration-dependent. Conclusion N protein of SARS-CoV could specifically activate COX-2 expression.
