Objective To analyze the effect of intravenous dripping of 3% sodium chloride solution on prevention of diluted hyponatremia during transurethral vaporization of the prostate (TUVP). Methods Eighty-five cases with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) accompanied with typical lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) were divided into two groups during undergoing TUVP operation: the control group(n=38) given Ringer's solution dripping (3ml/min) and the concentrated sodium chloride injection group(n= 47) given 3% sodium chloride solution dripping (2～4ml/min). All of the operations were taken via Wolf electric resection system, and the operation time was≥60 min. The complete blood count and serum electrolyte were determined before operation and 60 minutes after operation beginning, and the data were compared between the two groups. Results The decrease amplitude of serum sodium was obviously smaller in concentrated sodium chloride injection group[(1.45±5.14)mmol/L] than that in the control group[(7.79±6.64) mmol/L] 60 minutes after operation beginning (P<0.05). Conclusions Giving 3% sodium chloride solution by intravenous drip during TUVP may reduce the severity of diluted hyponatremia and postpone the occurrence of hyponatremia, and thereby decrease the risk of transurethral resection syndrome.

Objective To determine the solubility and apparent oil/ water partition coefficient of sitafloxacin in different solvents. Methods High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used. The column was Dikma Diamonsil C18 (2) (4. 6 mmí250 mm,5 μm). The mobile phase was 0. 05 mol·L-1 KH2 PO4 solution (pH was adjusted with H3 PO4 to 2. 4)-acetonitrile (7030). The column temperature was set at room temperature. The flow rate was 1. 0 mL·min-1 . The detection wavelength was 295 nm and the injection volume was 10 μL. The solubility of sitafloxacin and the apparent oil/ water partition coefficient at pH 2. 0,4. 3,5. 8,6. 6,7. 4,8. 0,10. 0 and 11. 2 were determined. Results The equilibrium solubility of sitafloxacin in water was 0. 44 mg·mL-1 and the apparent oil/ water partition coefficient was 0. 23 (lgP= -0. 64) at (37±2) ℃ . Sitafloxacin has the lowest equilibrium solubility (0. 13 mg·mL-1 ) and the highest apparent oil/ water partition coefficient in pH7. 4 buffer solution system. At pH>10 and pH<5. 8,the solubility of sitafloxacin increased obviously and apparent oil/ water partition coefficient decreased. Conclusion Sitafloxacin is insoluble in water and also poorly soluble in oil,but its solubility could be improved significantly in acidic or alkaline solution.

Objective To investigate the change of the content of polysaccharides in crude and processed Fructus Corni,thus to approach the process mechanism of Fructus Corni.Methods The content of polysaccharides in the crude and processed Fructus Corni was determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method.Results After processing with wine,the content of polysaccharides of Fructus Corni decreased from 10.12 %(content of total polysaccharidesbeing 51.41 %) to 5.91 %(content of total polysaccharidesbeing 53.10 %),decreased by 41.60 %as compared with that in the crude Fructus Corni.Conclusion After processing with wine,the content of polysaccharides decreases markedly.The results provide certain evidence for approaching the process mechanism of Fructus Corni.

Objective To investigate the protective function and mechanism of microRNA-1 (miR-1) downregula-tion in H2O2 injured cardiomyocytes. Methods The experiment was divided into 4 groups:Blank group, Negative Control group (NC), H2O2 group and H2O2+AS-miR-1 group. Cells in blank group were not underwent any treatment. Cells in NC group were transfected with random miRNA fragment. H2O2 and H2O2+AS-miR-1 groups were defined as H2O2 injured car-diomyocytes without or with transfected antisense miR-1 oligonucleotide(AS-miR-1). Real time PCR was used to test miR-1 transcription level, and cell vitality and apoptosis were analyzed by MTT and flow cytometry. The target gene of miR-1 was predicted by bioinformatics, then its mRNA transcription and protein expression level of Bcl-2 were detected by real time PCR and western blot respectively. Results There is no significant difference of all index between Blank group and NC group. H2O2 can induce cardiomyocyte injury, increase miR-1 level and rise apoptosis rate, reduce cell vitality and de-crease Bcl-2 expression level. Transfection of AS-miR-1 can decrease cell apoptosis, increase cell vitality and enhance Bcl-2 expression level. Conclusion Downregulation of microRNA-1 can protect cardiomyocytes that was injured by H2O2 through increasing anti-apoptosis factor Bcl-2 expression.

Objective To explore the effect of loading density of different rigid containers on wet package of orthopedic instruments in the department of orthopedics and to provide the basis for right loading of rigid container so as to ensure the success of the sterilization. Methods About 120 cases of orthopedic exotic instruments for knee surgery were selected from our hospital, according to size and weight of the knee surgery instrument and then evenly divided into Groups A, B, C, 40 pieces in each group. Each group for loading had the same length and width. In Group A, the loading was at 1/2 of the container height, in Group B, the loading was at 2/3 of the container height and in Group C the loading was 4/5 of the container height. The 3 groups were given high pressure steam sterilization, the sterilization temperature, sterilization time and drying time were the same, while biological and chemical monitoring was done. After sterilization, the three groups were compared in terms of the biological and chemical monitoring results as well as the incidence of wet pack. Results There were no significant differences between the 3 groups in the qualification rate of indicator cards and the biological monitoring after sterilization in the 5 kinds of packages among the 3 groups of rigid containers (P>0.05). The incidence of wet package in Group A was significantly lower than that of Group C (χ2=6.80, P=0.009<0.017), but no difference was found between Groups B and C ,Group B and C Group . Conclusions The loading density of different rigid containers affects the incidence of wet package of the orthopedic instruments. Our findings indicate that the loading of the instruments in a rigid container reaches the 2/3~4/5 height of the container, for it can reduce the incidence of wet package of orthopedic instruments.

Objective To study the effect of early mechanical ventilation in treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).Methods Fifty-two patients with SAP admitted in the First People's Hospital of Zhaoqing from January 2010 to January 2015 were randomly allocated into two groups (n =26),early mechanical ventilation group(observation group) and conventional mechanical ventilation group(control group).Patients in the observation group treated with early lung protective ventilation when PaO2 ＜ 13.3kPa.Patients in the control group treated without mechanical ventilation untill PaO2 ＜ 8kPa.The symptoms,the extent of inflammatory reaction,the severity of lung lesions and the mortality of two groups were compared through monitoring vital signs,abdominal circumference,APACHE Ⅱ score,bladder pressure,oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2),C reactive protein (CRP),procalcitonin (PCT),hospital stay and mortality.Results No statistically significant differences in the APACHE Ⅱ score,bladder pressure,oxygenation index,CRP and PCT in two groups before treatment were observed(P ＞ 0.05).The APACHE Ⅱ score (12.8 ± 7.6) points,bladder pressure (14.9± 7.9) cmH2O,CRP (48.8 ± 30.1) rmg/L,PCT (1.25 ± 0.55) μg/L,mortality (3.84％) of the observation group after treatment were significantly lower than those of the control group (t =2.057,2.091,3.252,2.697,x2 =4.305,all P ＜ 0.05),while the oxygenation index in the observation group [(300.0 ± 34.9) mmHg] was significantly higher than that in the control group [(278.1 ± 32.8) mmHg],the difference of the two groups was statistically significant (t =3.322,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Early lung protective ventilation is safe and effective for treatment of the patients with SAP.

AIM: To explore the effects of CD40-CD40 ligand (CD40L) interaction on endothelial cells (ECs) procoagulant activity. METHODS: A co-incubation system of macrophage membrane with ECs was established. The changes in ECs procoagulant activity and tissue factor (TF) expression were studied by anti-CD40L antibody blocking analysis. RESULTS: Coincubation with macrophage membrane (cell ratio 1∶1) for 6 hours resulted in a 10.9-fold increase ( P
