Objective To evaluate diagnostic value of plasma D-dimer (D-D),fibrinogen (Fg) and Ddimer/fibrinogen (D/F) ratio in acute lower extremity deep vein thrombosis (DVT) after artificial joint replacement.Methods From August 2009 to December 2011,273 patients who had undergone total hip arthroplasty (THA) or total knee arthroplasty (TKA) underwent venography of lower extremity deep vein at 35 days postoperatively.According to results of angiography,all patients were divided into DVT group including 66 patients (15 males and 51 females,median age 66 years) and non-DVT group including 207 patients (70 males and 137 females,median age 63 years).Plasma levels of D-D and Fg were measured by immunoturbidimetry and solidification methods respectively preoperatively and at 3-5 days postoperatively.The differences of plasma levels of D-D and Fg and D/F ratio between the two groups were analyzed with statistical method.Furthermore,diagnostic value of postoperative plasma D-D and D/F ratio in acute DVT was assessed using a receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results There was no statistical significance in preoperative plasma levels of D-D and Fg,and postoperative plasma levels of Fg between two groups.However,the postoperative plasma levels of D-D and D/F ratio were higher in the DVT group than those in the nonDVT group,and there was significant difference between two groups.In addition,the ROC curve analysis showed that the area under curve of postoperative plasma D-D and D/F ratio was 0.688 and 0.684,respectively,but this difference did not reach statistical significance.Conclusion Plasma Fg may be meaningless for the diagnosis of acute DVT after artificial joint replacement.Although plasma D-D and D/F ratio may be useful for diagnosing acute DVT,the diagnostic accuracy is low.

The clinical data of 32 patients with pyelogenic cyst were reviewed retrospectively. The diagnosis of 25 cases was confirmed by intravenous pyelography (IVP) , in which the ultrasonography and computed tomography ( CT) failed to provide accurate diagnosis. Eighteen cases were treated by surgical operations, among them 16 cases were cured, one case lost follow-up, and one case recurred in 6 months after surgery. The data indicate that the diagnosis of pyelogenic cyst mainly depends on IVP examination and the laparoscopic technique can be effectively applied for treatment of pyelogenic cyst.

Objective: To observe the effect of hypoxia on changes of proliferation ability of cultured human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLFS) in vitro. Methods: HPLFS were randomly divided into two groups (experimental group and control group) by different oxygen concentrations. The oxygen concentration of control group was 21%. The oxygen concentrations of experiment group were 10%, 5% and 2%. The proliferation ability of HPLFS was detected by MTT colorimetric assay. The cell ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results: MTT assay results showed that compared with the control group, at the 12 h and 24 h, cell proliferation was enhanced with the hypoxia degree. At 24 h, cell proliferation showed significant differences. At 48 h and 72 h, proliferation of the cultured HPLFS in severe hypoxia group reduced significantly. Observed by TEM, at 24 h, not only the number of mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum but also cell process increased in the cultured HPLFS in severe hypoxia group. At 72 h, the number of lysosome increased and the cell structure degenerated. Conclusion: Long-time severe hypoxia may lower the repair and remodeling abilities of periodontium, which might be one of the important etiological factors of periodontal disease under condition of high altitude.

The clinical data of 16 patients with rupture of corpus cavernosum penis were retrospectively reviewed.The patients were referred to the Department of Urology from January 2005 to November 2009.The causes of penile injury were trauma due to sexual intercourse ( 12 cases), trauma due to masturbatory (2 cases), traffic accidents ( 1 case) and others ( l case).All patients received immediate surgical treatment; 14 out of 16 patients were followed up for a mean period of 3 months.Sexual function was recovered with satisfactory erection in 11 patients, 3 patients complained pain or uncomfortab]eness during erection.Sexual trauma was the main cause of penile fracture.Immediate intervention for penile fracture can achieve satisfactory early and late results.

OBJECTIVE To clarify the long-term toxicity to the respiratory system in a rat model of acute lung injury (ALI) induced by a single low-dose of perfluoroisobutylene(PFIB) inhalation expo?sure,and observe the possible beneficial effect of early intervention via Qingkailing(QKL) injection. METHODS Totally 224 male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:normal control group in which air exposure was followed by a saline 10 mL · kg-1(ip),QKL control group in which QKL 10 mL · kg-1 was ip given after air exposure,PFIB exposure group in which rats were exposed to PFIB 280 mg·m-3 for 5 min only,and QKL treatment group in which QKL 10 mL·kg-1 was given ip at 1 h after PFIB exposure. Lung functions of rats were measured at 24 h,3,6,12,24,36 and 48 weeks after exposure. The arterial blood gas,lung coefficient,protein content in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF),hydroxy?proline(HYP) content in lung tissue and plasma,and other indicators were detected or analyzed. RESULTS Within 24 h after PFIB exposure,the lung coefficient and protein content in BALF were increased significantly(P<0.01),whereas the PaO2(P<0.01) and SaO2(P<0.05) indices in arterial blood decreased significantly in PFIB group compared with normal control. The inhalation time , exhalation time,tidal volume(TV),expired volume(EV)and relaxed time were reduced significantly (P<0.01). However,all the above indicators returned to normal in 3 weeks,but TV,EV and peak expiratory flow were significantly lower than in normal group at 48 weeks(P<0.05). HYP contents in lung tissues,compared with normal control(P<0.05),were reduced significantly within 24 h after PFIB exposure,increased significantly in 6 weeks(P<0.05),then returned to normal in 12 weeks. HYP contents in plasma increased significantly compared with normal control(P<0.05) within 24 h after PFIB exposure but returned to normal in 3 weeks. The protein contents in BALF of QKL treatment group were significantly lower than those in PFIB group(P<0.01) within 24 h after PFIB exposure. From 24 h to 24 weeks after PFIB exposure,changes of pulmonary functions were similar to those in PFIB group. At 48 weeks,TV and EV in QKL treatment group were more significantly increased than those in PFIB group(P<0.05). CONCLUSION Rats with ALI induced by a single low dose of PFIB exposure undergo compensatory repair except for pulmonary capacity and pulmonary ventilation functions. Early treatment with QKL reduces protein content of BALF and alleviates pulmonary edema,and has some beneficial effect on lung function recovery later.

Objective To survey the distribution pattern and subject domain knowledge of the literatures about ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Methods Literatures about VAP published until December 2017 were identified in SinoMed database for statistics and analysis. The information of author, organization and province was extracted by BICOMS software for generating co-occurrence matrix, at the same time, the topic words were cluster analyzed by Gcluto software to generate topical visual surface maps and visualization matrices, and the current research hotspots were analyzed. NetDraw from Ucinet 6.0 software was used to arrange the relationship among topic words according to the centrality, and the social network diagrams of authors, authors' provinces and institutions were draw to analyze the current status of VAP research cooperation. Results 4 851 VAP-related literatures were retrieved preliminarily, and 43 were excluded from abstracts, news reports, information and missing literatures. Finally, a total of 4 808 articles were enrolled in the visual analysis. From 2001 to 2004, the number of VAP-related literatures published was less than 10. Since 2009, the number of VAP documents had increased steadily, from 2010 to 2017, the peak period of publications reached 91.7% (4 411/4 808). According to the analysis of the amount of publications, the top three of 34 provincial administrative regions that published VAP-related literature in China were Guangdong Province (n = 628), Jiangsu Province (n = 478) and Zhejiang Province (n = 404), the number of hospitals issued by the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University was the largest (n = 20); there was only one journal with more than 100 articles, and there were 154 journals with only one article, accounting for 34.8% of the total number of journals. A total of 9 921 authors participated in the VAP-related literature writing, the number of high-yielding authors was not large, and the institution could not establish an effective social network diagram, suggesting that communication and cooperation should be strengthened in hospitals and outside hospitals. The results of the topic words social network analysis showed that the VAP research field was centered around the core of "mechanical ventilation", "intensive care unit (ICU)", "risk factor analysis", "nursing", "etiological analysis", "preventive measures" and "pathogens". The current research hotspots were at the edge of the network map, such as "drug sensitivity analysis", "Acinetobacter baumannii", "bronohoalveolar lavage (BAL)" and "acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD)". By clustering 80 high-frequency topic words, at present, VAP research hotspots were mainly focus on five topics: obstructive pulmonary disease, especially in acute exacerbation, was prone to VAP; concerned about newborns and children's VAP; types, drug resistance and selection of antimicrobial agents for VAP pathogens in ICU; clinical efficacy and prognosis of VAP through preventive measures, pulmonary supportive care and comprehensive care interventions; oral care and airway management during mechanical ventilation was also the key aspect of the treatment of VAP. Conclusions In recent years, the academics had attached great importance to the study of VAP, the number of publications had reached a historical peak, and the research direction was diverse. However, it was necessary to strengthen cooperation among research institutes, collect and count epidemiological data, improve and expand the research quality and scale of clinical diagnosis, nurse, prevention, pathogen distribution and drug resistance analysis.
