Objective To improve the theoretical basis for the typical hemodynamic changes in subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) patients underwent transcranial doppler (TCD) by detailed hemodynamic analysis.Methods Patients with SSS were examined by transcranial doppler and some patients performed tourniquet test.Flow spectrum,flow velocity and pulsatility index (PI) of vertebral artery,basilar artery and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were recorded.Results The flow spectrum of steal side vertebral artery showed that there were 14 cases with systolic notch,18 cases with systolic reverse flow and 3 cases with flow completely reversed.The flow spectrum showed high resistance spectrum in vertebral artery and basilar artery and ipsilateral basilar artery vortex or turbulence in 32 cases.The PI value was higher in contralateral vertebral artery and basilar artery than in anterior circulation (q =9.56,9.98,both P ＜ 0.01),and there was no difference between contralateral vertebral artery and basilar artery (q=0.416,P＞0.05).The tourniquet test were positive in all 22 patients.Conclusions TCD is a convenient,fast,accurate and non-invasive method for hemodynamic examination,which is the first choice for the diagnosis of SSS.

BACKGROUND:Effects of different oxygen partial pressures on cytokine secretion of human adipose-derived stem cells have been differently reported. These differences may be caused by varying oxygen partial pressures.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of different oxygen partial pressures on cytokines secreted from human adipose-derived stem cells.
METHODS:Human adipose-derived stem cells were cultured in vitro and identified by its immunophenotype. Human adipose-derived stem cells were divided into five groups and cultured under different oxygen partial pressure conditions (1%, 3%, 5%, 10%, 21%) for 24 hours, respectively. With quantitative real-time PCR and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay, the secretion of cytokines, vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor, nerve growth factor, keratinocyte growth factor, from human adipose-derived stem cells were analyzed on the gene and protein levels.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human adipose-derived stem cells were positive for CD71, CD73, CD90, CD105 and negative for CD34, CD45, CD54, HLA-DR. From the aspect of gene level, hypoxia (1%, 3%O 2 ) promoted the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor and nerve growth factor from human adipose-derived stem cells (P<0.01), and significantly elevated the expression of hepatocyte growth factor (P<0.05);however, there was no significant influence on keratinocyte growth factor under hypoxia (P>0.05). Based on the protein level, protein secretion of hepatocyte growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor from human adipose-derived stem cells was increased under hypoxia (P<0.01), but no changes occurred in nerve growth factor and keratinocyte growth factor. After cultured under hypoxic environment, human adipose-derived stem cells were promoted to express gene vascular endothelial growth factor, hepatocyte growth factor and nerve growth factor, as wel as to secrete protein keratinocyte growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor.

Objective To summarize the experience of early management in elderly patients with serious burning in order to raise cure rate. Methods Elderly patients (63 cases) with serious burning (burned area exceeding 30% or Ⅲ? area exceeding 10% ) admitted from 1990 to 2002 were retrospectively studied. Patients were divided into two groups according to the admission date, before and after January 1, 1996 since new management was extensively applied after 1996. These measures consisted of rapid and adequate fluid resuscitation, early enteral feeding and autograft after eschar excision. Results The incidence of sepsis and MODS was 38.7% and 19.4% respectively after 1996. It was evidently lower than the group before 1996(65.6% vs 43.8%, P

OBJECTIVE To study the correlation between the serum-specific IgE and IL-13 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) among patients with allergic rhinitis who were allergic to Dermataphagoides pteronyssinus(Derp1) or Artemisia Pollen. METHODS Sixty nine patients who were allergic to Derp1 and 87 patients who were allergic to pollen were examined for detecting serum-specific IgE by a fluorescent enzyme immunoassay. The IL-13 SNP of the coding sequence (Arg130Gln) and the promoter region -1112(C/T)was measured by polymerase chain reaction /restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) techniques. RESULTS Among patients who were allergic to Derp1, there was a significant correlation between the IL-13 promoter -1112(C/T)SNP ,but not of Arg130Gln ,and serum-specific IgE. Among patients who were allergic to pollen, there were no significant association both of the IL-13 promoter -1112(C/T)and Arg130Gln SNPs with serum-specific IgE. CONCLUSION The results showed a significant association of the IL-13 promoter -1112(C/T)SNP with serum-specific IgE in patients who allergic to Derp1. That suggested a possible involvement of IL-13 promoter -1112(C/T)SNP in the regulation of serum-specific IgE response to Derp1 allergens.

Objective To investigate the hypoglycemic effects of Laminaria japonica (L. japonica) on diabetic model induced by alloxan in rats. Methods Sixty healthy female rats were used to establish diabetic models by injecting alloxan peritoneally, and L.japonica was applied as raw materials for potential marine drugs.The levels of fasting blood glucose (FBG) were detected by automatic blood glucose device. Enzyme linkedimmunoabsorbant assay was applied to determine the insulin level in serum. The shape and structure of isletcells were observed with histopathological staining, and the expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in islet cells were detected by immunohistochemical technique. Results After the treatment, the levels of FBG of L.japonica treated group B [(9.37±1.70) mmol/LandC (9.18±1.65 ) mmol/L, F= 32.81, q=6.35～11.72, P<0.05 ] reduced, while the serum levels of insulin in treated group A, Band C (0.0378±0.0026, 0.0378±0.0027, 0.0367±0.0035) increased(F= 11.40, q=4.28～8.47, P<0.05) significantly than those of diabetic model group (0.0456 ±0.0057) . The shape and structure of islet cells improved with the up-expressing SOD(t=4.73～4.76, P<0.05)and down-expressing iNOS (t=4.81～5.30, P<0.05) in L.japonica treated group B and C than those in diabetic model group. Conclusion L.japonica might decrease the serum level of FBG through promoting the islet cell recovery by an anti-oxide effect.

Objective To evaluate the risk factors of septic shock after mini-percutaneous nephrolithotripsy (mPCNL). Methods Clinical data of 1 590 cases who underwent mPCNL from January 2013 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The x2 test and logistic regression were used to identify the key risk factors for septic shock after mPCNL. Results Of the 1 590 patients, 18 patients suffered septic shock, including 6 male patients and 12 fe﹣male patients. Their mean age was (45.6 ± 13.5) years (28 ~ 69 years). White cell in urine was 100 percent, the stone diameter ranged from 1.5 to 5.0 cm, unichannel for 15 cases while multichannel for 3 cases, the operation du﹣ration ranged from 45 to 200 min, mean (87.0 ± 56.0) min. 2 in 18 cases died in multiple organ failure, the others recovered till discharged. In x2 test, female gender (P = 0.001), (+++ ~ ++++) white cells in urine (P= 0.042), un-preoperative nephrostomy drainage (P=0.041) had significant association with septic shock after mPCNL. While in multivariate analysis, female gender ( O? = 5.471, 95 % CI: 0.756~21.452, P< 0.05) and un-preoperative nephrostomy drainage (O? =3.106, 95%CI:1.283~7.907, P<0.05) were identified as independent risk factors for septic shock after mPCNL. Conclusions Female gender and un-preoperative nephrostomy drainage are the key risk factors for septic shock after mPCNL.
