1.Application and research progress of mild hypothermia in cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2016;28(12):1165-1169
The cerebral resuscitation is the most important aim in advanced cardiopulmonary cerebral resuscitation (CPCR). Cerebral function protection after cardiac arrest (CA) is important to improve survival rates including those after the discharge. Therapeutic mild hypothermia maybe the only method that can improve neurological function of patients following resuscitation after CA, which was recommended as one of treatment strategies for unconscious patients after successful resuscitation in 2010 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Although there are many cooling methods of inducing hypothermia, each has some advantages or shortcomings. There were many controversies on the choice, which need further research. We make a summary and analysis about the mechanism of therapeutic mild hypothermia, the possible complications at different stages and the clinical application of mild hypothermia, such as the evaluation before therapeutic mild hypothermia and the choice of hypothermia protocol and cooling methods, to provide guidance for clinical mild hypothermia therapy.

Objective To investigate influence of nutritional status on prognosis in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Methods Retrospective analysis for clinical data of 533 patients who hospitalized at the Internal Medicine Department of Beijing Social Welfare Hospital and the Emergency Department of Chaoyang Hospital, Beijing during 2005 to 2010 were performed. All the patients were divided into SIRS (323 cases) and non-SIRS (210 cases) groups based on diagnostic criteria of SIRS and pyemia, and groups of the survival (431 cases) and the dead ( 102 cases) based on their end outcomes.Patients of SIRS were further divided into sub-groups of pyemia (287 cases) and non-pyemia (36 cases)based on their infection status. The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ ( APACHE Ⅱ ),serum levels of prealbumin ( PAB), albumin ( ALB), total cholesterol (CHOL) and C-creative protein (CRP) were measured for all the patients on the 1st, 3rd, 7th days after admission, before discharge and prior to death, respectively. Results Scores of APACHE Ⅱ were significantly higher in SIRS and the dead groups than those in non-SIRS and the survival groups (P <0. 05 ). Serum level of albumin was significantly lower in SIRS and the dead groups than that in non-SIRS and the survival groups on the 7th day after admission (SIRS vs. non-SIRS: F=9.812, P=0.035; the dead vs. the survival: F =45.285, P=0. 003). Change in serum level of prealbumin was the same as the level of albumin, with significant difference between various groups since the 3rd day after admission ( P < 0. 05 ). Significant time effects could be found in the dead and survival groups (for the dead group: F = 19. 188, P = 0. 000; and for the survival group: F = 47. 250, P < 0. 01 ). Multiple regression analysis showed that serum levels of prealbumin and total cholesterol correlated with scores of APACHE Ⅱ[with a regression formula of scores of APACHE Ⅱ = 52.032-21.407 PAB-8.971 CHOL (R2 =0.801, F=48.016, P =0.023)]. Logistic regression analysis showed that low level of prealbumin and high scores of APACHE Ⅱ both were predictors for survival of SIRS patients, with an overall accuracy of 77. 1 percent, 73.5 percent for survival and 79. 5 percent for death prediction. Conclusions Severe malnutrition can be found in patients with SIRS and serum level of prealbumin can be used to evaluate their nutritional status and severity of the disease. High scores of APACHE Ⅱ combined with low serum level of prealbumin can predict prognosis of the patients.

Objective Two different transthoracic impedances were made with an adjustable impedance instrument to compare the success rate of defibrillation,heart and skin damage in a porcine model.Methods A total of sixteen pigs were randomly (random number) divided into two groups:low impedance group (about 50 Ω,n =8) and high impedance group (about 100 Ω,n =8).Defibrillation (recommended 150 J) was first attempted at 15 s after induction of ventricular fibrillation (VF).If spontaneous circulation was not recovered,2-minute chest compression and subsequent defibrillation attempts (maximum 200 J) were attempted.Model animal kept stabilization for 30 min after return of spontaneous circulation before induction of the next episode of VF,which was induced five episodes in each pig.Results In the low impedance group,VF was induced 39 times,39 of 43 attempted defibrillations were successful.In the high impedance group,VF was induced 40 times,40 of 70 attempted defibrillations were successful.The current and success rate of the first defibrillation were (34.9 ±3.2) A and 94.9% respectively in the low impedance group,while those of the high impedance group were (19.1 ±2.1) A and 50% respectively (both P < 0.05).There were no significant differences in skin damage between two groups,but myocardial injury was lighter in the high impedance group.Conclusions Success rate of the first defibrillation with recommend 150 J obviously decreases with the increase of transthoracic impedance.The main factor of myocardial injury is current instead of the numbers of defibrillation.

Objective:To understand the status of drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis in Henan Province, so as to provide scientific basis for improving prevention and control strategies.Methods:Ten counties (districts, referred to as counties) were selected from drinking water-borne endemic fluorosis areas of Henan Province in 2018. Three villages in each project county were selected according to the disease status of mild, moderate and severe conditions, and the operation status of water improvement projects, water fluoride content and dental fluorosis among children aged 8 to 12 years in each diseased village were monitored.Results:Totally 30 villages were surveyed, all of which were in the water improvement projects; a total of 25 water improvement projects were monitored, all of them were in normal operation, and the water fluoride exceeding standard rate was 28.00% (7/25), the qualified rate of water fluoride in the water improvement projects was 72.00% (18/25). Among them, 21 villages were in normal operation and the water fluoride in the water improvement projects met national standard. In which the detection rate of dental fluorosis among children aged 8 to 12 years was 36.71% (606/1 651), the index of dental fluorosis was 0.74, and the epidemic intensity was extremely mild. Water fluoride of water improvement projects in 9 villages exceeded the national standard, where the detection rate of dental fluorosis among children aged 8 to 12 years was 43.57% (261/599), the index of dental fluorosis was 0.78, and the epidemic intensity was extremely mild. The detection rate of dental fluorosis among children in the villages where the water fluoride of water improvement projects exceeded the national standard was higher than that in the villages where the water fluoride of water improvement projects met the national standard (χ 2=8.752, P < 0.01). Conclusions:The excessive fluorine content in the water of water improvement projects is still serious, and the epidemic is still severe. It is necessary to strengthen the scientific demonstration of the water improvement project construction and the project acceptance upon completion, so as to prevent unqualified projects from being put into use. We will carry out regular water quality monitoring and promptly rectify projects with water quality exceeding the standards.

Left ventricular assist devices(LVAD) has become the main treatment for advanced heart failure, which effectively reduced the mortality of patients with advanced heart failure. However, postoperative right ventricular failure(RVF) has been a long-term challenge in the treatment of LVAD. At present, postoperative RVF is not only difficult to predict, but also difficult to treat. The lack of long-term right ventricular assist device has limited the impact that mechanical circulatory support can provide to patients with biventricular failure. This review summarizes the prevention and treatment of right heart failure after left ventricular assist device transplantation and explores the direction of future research.
