Objective To study the risk factors influencing the prognosis in the children patients with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction and to seek their therapeutic measures. Methods The clinical data of 125 cases patients with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors possibly influencing the prognosis were analyzed by multivariate statistical Logistic analysis. Results Among 125 children patients, 61 cases died, and the mortality rate was 48.8%. Logistic regression analysis indicated that poor circulation, cardiovascular system failure, hepatic failure, brain failure were significant risk factors of death associated with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction. (OR = 4.156, 3.330, 6.903, P<0.05 or<0.01). Conclusions Poor circulation, cardiovascular system failure, hepatic failure and brain failure are significant risk factors of death associated with acute gastrointestinal dysfunction.

Objective To assess the efficacy of laryngeal mask airway Proseal (LMA Proseal) and Supreme (LMA Supreme) used in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgery when the cuff-pressure was 35 cm H2O.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 20-70 yr, weighing 50-80 kg, undergoing elective laparoscopic surgery, were randomized into2 groups (n = 30 each): LMA ProSeal group (group P) and LMA Supreme group (group S). After the LMA Proseal and LMA Supreme were inserted in group P and S respectively, the cuff pressure was monitored and maintained at 35 cm H2O by manipulate manometer. The airway sealing pressure, peak and mean airway pressure before and after pneumoperitoneum during mechanical ventilation and the complications were also recorded. Results The peak airway pressure was significantly higher after pneumoperitoneum than before pneumoperitoneum during mechanical ventilation (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference in the peak airway pressure before and after pneumoperitoneum between the two groups ( P > 0.05). The air leakage had never happened before or after pneumoperitoneum during mechanical ventilation. There was no significant difference in the airway sealing pressure between the two groups ( P > 0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of throat pain between the two groups(P>0.05).Conclusion When the cuff pressure is 35 cm H2O, the LMA ProSeal and Supreme can provide adequate ventilation during operation with fewer complications and can be used safely for laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To investigate the influence of different carbon dioxide (CO2) absorbents (Dr(a)gersorb 800 plus , Sodasorb,Sodasorb LF) on the production of compound A during low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia.Methods Twenty-seven ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 20-64 years were randomly assigned to three groups according to different CO2 absorbents: Dr(a)gersorb 800 plus' group (group D, n = 10), Sodasorb group (group S, n = 10) and Sodasorb LF group (group LF, n = 7). Anesthesia was maintained with low-flow (500 ml/min) sevoflurane inhalation (with the end-tidal sevoflurane concentration of approximately 2% ). At 2 h after low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, gas samples were taken from the expiratory limb of the circuit. Compound A was detected by gas chromatography. Serum alanine transaminase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), bilirubin (BR), urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) levels were measured before (T0 ) and 24 h after operation (T1).Results The three groups were comparable with respect to age, body weight and height. After 2 h of low-flow sevoflurane anesthesia, compound A concentrations in the expiratory limb of the circuit were 11.6 ± 5.8 (group D), 2.1 ± 1.9 (group S)and < 0.1 ppm (group LF), respectively. There were no significant changes in the serum ALT, AST, BR, BUN and Cr levels at 24 h after operation as compared with the preoperative baseline values in the three groups.Conclusion After 2 h of low-flow (500 ml/min) sevoflurane anesthesia, compound A concentrations within the circuit with different CO2 absorbents ( Dr(a)gersorb 800 plus' , Sodasorb, Sodasorb LF) are less than 50 ppm, with the lowest in Sodasorb LF.However, they have no significant effects on hepatic or renal function.

Membrane proteins are the main undertakers of biofilm function, and also the most important target group for innovative drug discovery and research. About 60% of drugs targets are membrane proteins. Due to the obvious aggregation and denaturation tendency of membrane proteins in aqueous solution, it is difficult to simulate the membrane like environment to maintain the correct conformation of membrane proteins

BACKGROUND: The understanding about characteristics and variation trends of cerebral vascular hemodynamic indexes in high-risk stroke population,in prior and post-stroke period patients as well as in normal people,particularly the cerebral vascular hemodynamic index(CVHD) prior to stroke can improve diagnosis efficiency of stroke and increase sensitivity and specificity of stroke diagnosis.OBJECTIVE: To study the features of CVHD in acute stoke,in order to provide evidences for early evaluation and rehabilitation intervention.DESIGN: Case analysis and observational study based on patients.SETTING: A neurological department in a general hospital of military area command of Chinese PLA and a prevention and cure institute of cerebrovascular diseases.PARTICIPANTS: Totally 55 (male 38,female 17) inpatients in the Neurological Department of Fuzhou General Hospital of Chinese PLA from June to December 2001 were enrolled in the study.METHODS: CVHD was measured during the first week after onset and the data were analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The CVHD,blood pressure and cerebral vascular hemodynamic parameters.RESULTS: The CVHD of each patient is below 75,median 32.5. The mean velocity,blood flow,maximum velocity,minimum velocity and difference between diastolic and critical pressures were lower than corresponding ones of healthy men in seventies( P < 0.01 ). And the pulse wave velocity,peripheral resistance,specific impedance and critical pressure increased( P < 0. 01).CONCLUSION: During the first week after stroke,the CVHD decreases and many hemodynamic parameters alters significantly. Examination of CVHD can reveal cerebral circulation insufficiency or predict an attack of cerebral stroke.
