Objective To explore the clinical feature of acquired pure amegakdryocytic thrombocytopenic purpura(AATP).Methods 18 patients were analyzed retrospectively.And 112 patients with ITP in the same term were to be control group.Each group's megakaryocytic (MK),platelet (PLT) count,mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet associated immunoglobulin G(PAIgG) were rested.Results The MK total number of AATP group was obvious decreased or even absent,while the ITP group was increased[(0.8?1.5) vs (195.0?47.3),P0.05).About the PAIgG posi- tive rate,AATP group was 55.6 % while ITP group was 83% (P

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of procalcitonin(PCT)as an early indicator for sepsis.Methods Serum levels of PCT and C-creative protein(CRP)and white blood cell (WBC)count were measured in 30 patients in critical condition hospitalized at an intensive care unit(ICU) with diagnosis of systemic inflammatory response syndrome(SIRS).They were divided into two groups, sepsis and non-sepsis,based on their clinical manifestations and results of lab tests.Blood specimen was collected from each patient for measurement of PCT,CRP and WBC count on the 1~(st),3~(rd)and 7~(th)day after hospitalization and bacteriological culture for blood and sputum,and chest X-ray was performed,as well. Acute physiology,age and chronic health evaluation(APACHE Ⅱ)was made on the 1~(st),3~(rd)and 7~(th)day after hospitalization to assess their ill condition.Their prognosis were judged on the 28~(th)day of the follow-up. Results Serum level of PCT increased significantly in the sepsis group(with the highest of 10.13 ng/ml), as compared with that in the non-sepsis group.Sensitivity,specificity and predictive value of a positive test for a cut-off value of serum level of PCT at 0.5 ng/ml were 97.0%,91.7% and 82.1%,respectively, which were all better than those of serum level of CRP and WBC count.Serum level of PCT in the patients was significantly associated with their prognosis,and PCT in those died was significantly higher than that in those survived.Whereas,serum level of CRP and WBC count elevated in both groups,but the difference between the two groups did not reach a level of statistical significance.Conclusion Serum level of PCT can be used as an early indicator for judgment of sepsis for a patient with infection and reflection of severity of illness.

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to determine the potential protective effect of inducing hypertransfusion to the gastrointestinal tract following a porcine model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by evaluating the influence of gastrointestinal ultrastructure, ATPase and serum diamine oxidase. METHODS: Ventricular fibrillation was induced by programmed electrical stimulation in 16 male domestic pigs (n=8/group). Four minutes after ventricular fibril ation, CPR was performed. The pigs that successfully restored spontaneous circulation received intravenous infusion of either norepinephrine to maintain the mean arterial pressure at 130% of the baseline before ventricular fibril ation or normal saline. Serum diamine oxidase and gastrointestinal ATPase activity were determined, and histopathological examination of the gastrointestinal tract was performed by light and electron microscopy. RESULTS: CPR caused significant injury to the gastrointestinal tract, elevating serum diamine oxidase and causing destruction of intestinal microvillus in control animals. Na+-K+ ATPase and Ca2+ATPase activity in gastric tissue were significantly elevated in animals receiving hypertransfusion treatment compared with the control animals. Hypertransfusion also significantly reduced serum diamine oxidase to below control levels after CPR. Moreover, severe injury sustained by the gastrointestinal tissue was markedly ameliorated under hypertransfusion conditions compared with the control animals. CONCLUSIONS: Gastrointestinal injury and abnormal energy metabolism were strikingly evident following CPR. Hypertransfusion inducing hypertension can improve energy metabolism and ameliorate gastrointestinal mucosal injury, indicating that hypothermia significantly ameliorates gastrointestinal injury sustained following cardiac arrest.
