This study illustrated the significance and feasibility of setting up car-diopulmonary resuscitation courses in colleges and universities. On this basis, specific suggestions and countermeasures were put forward to improve teaching organization and leadership, teaching material de-velopment, curriculum design, teaching faculty development, teacher training and laboratory construction. This study proposed to strengthen the legislation, and the implementation of first-aid qualification examina-tion in colleges and universities, making the students become the preferred educational group of CPR skills, which is of great significance to improve public popularity rate of CPR.

Objective To observe protective effects of four active liposoluble alkaloids of a Chinese herb, lotusine (Lot), liensinine (Lien), isoliensinine (Iso) and neferine (Nef) of embryo loti (the green embryo), against H2 O2-induced oxidative damage on human umbilical vascular endothelial cell ECV-304.Methods The protective effects of Lot, Lien, Iso and Nef on the survival of normal and oxidatively damaged ECV 304 cells were studied by cell morphology observation and 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay.The levels of nitric oxide (NO) and nitric oxide synthase ( NOS) were measured using colorimetric assay.Results Lot, Lien, Iso and Nef did not affect cell morphology and cell viability of normal ECV 304 cells.The survival of oxidative damaged vascular endothelial cells was rescued by incubating with Lot at 100μmol/L, and Lien, Iso and Nef at 0.1 μmol/L.The proliferative activity of medicated groups increased to 112.8%, 129.3%, 125.6 and 118.2%, respectively (P<0.01 or 0.05), relative to that of the group with H2O2 induced oxidative damage.The four alkaloids restrained oxidative injury of endothelial cells induced by H2 O2 and the protective influences were similar with captopril, which served as a positive control.Each alkaloid except Lot reduced intercellular space and increased the connections of oxidative damaged cells, concomitant with more recognizable cell borders.Lien, Iso and Nef also increased the concentration of NO ( P<0.05 ) .Besides, all of the four alkaloids activated NOS in damaged vascular endothelial cells ( P<0.05 ) . Conclusion The four alkaloids of embryo loti, especially Lien, Iso and Nef, have certain protective effects against H2 O2-induced oxidative damage on vascular endothelial cells.The protective mechanism may be promotion of NO release through the increase of NOS production.

Objective:To evaluate the clinical efficacy of maintenance chemotherapy for patients who had local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and was responsive to primary radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Methods:One hundred and twenty patients with stage ⅢA or ⅢB NSCLC received 4 cycles of chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy. The 63 patients who achieved certain remission were randomly divided into maintenance chemotherapy group(n=33) and control group(n=30). The patients in maintenance chemotherapy group (treatment group) received vinorelbine (20 mg/m2, d 1 and d 8, per 28 d a cycle) and those in control group were not given maintenance chemotherapy. The clinical efficacy, survival rate and adverse reaction of the two groups were evaluated. Results:There are a longer median time to progression(TTP) in treatment group compared with control group (8.5 month vs 5.0 month, P<0.05). The 1-and 2-year survival rates were 66.7% and 36.4% in the treatment group and 60.7% and 32.1% in the control group, respectively. The difference between the survival rates of two groups was not significant (P>0.05). Conclusion:Maintenance vinorelbine-based chemotherapy prolonged the median time to progression but had no effect on survival time in patients with local advanced NSCLC who responded to induction chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and value of dual-energy perfusion imaging (DEPI) of dual-source CT(DSCT) in the diagnosis of acute experimental pulmonary embolism. Methods Acute pulmonary embolism ( PE ) model was made in 8 New Zealand rabbits, and non-enhanced and enhanced DSCT scans were performed before and after embelization. Postprocessing of image data was made on the workstation, and CT pulmonary angiography ( CTPA ), DEal and fusion images were obtained. The location and number of the emboli were recorded. The rabbits were killed immediately after DSCT scan, the location and number of the lung lobes with pulmonary emboli were evaluated pathologically. Based on the pathological results, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value ( PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV) of CTA, DEal and fusion images for the diagnosis of PE were calculated. Weighted Kappa values were calculated to evaluate the consistency between CTPA and DEal. Results PE model was made successfully in 7 rabbits. Six rabbits with 30 lobes were evaluated with one exception because of the catheter affecting the quality of lung peffusian image. PE was found pathologically in 18 lobar arteries. On DEPI, the region with PE showed low peffusion area comparing with the normal parenchyma and CTPA showed the filling defect within corresponding pulmonary artery or interruption of the artery. The sensitivity, specificity, PPVand NPV of CTPA were 66. 7% (12/18), 100.0% (12/12), 100.0% (12/12) and 66. 7% (12/18), respectively. The Kappa value was 0. 651 indicating moderate correlation with pathology. The sensitivity, specificity, aPv, and NPV of DEal were 88. 9% ( 16/18), 91.7% ( 11/12, 94. 1% (16/17) and 84. 6% ( 11/13 ), respectively. The Kappa value was 0. 795 indicating excellent correlation with pathology. Conclusion Dual-energy lung perfusion imaging of DSCT can display the blood distribution of rabbit's lung and has a high sensitivity for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism.

ObjectiveTo investigate the condition of liver injury in different populations of patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-2019), and to further understand the pathogenic characteristics of COVID-2019. MethodsA total of 28 patients with COVID-2019 and liver injury who were admitted to the designated hospitals for COVID-2019 in Bozhou, China from February 1 to 12, 2020 were enrolled, and they were divided into male group（n=15） and female group（n=13） according to sex or young group（n=10） and middle-aged and elderly group（n=17） according to age. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were measured on admission. The Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used for comparison of continuous data between two groups, the Fisher exact test was used for comparison of categorical data between two groups. ResultsVarying degrees of liver injury were observed in the 28 patients. There were no significant differences in the levels of ALT, AST, GGT, ALP, and LDH between the male group and the female group and between the young group and the middle-aged and elderly group (all P＞0.05). There was no significant difference in abnormal rate of ALT, AST, GGT and LDH between male group and female group (all P＞0.05); There was no significant difference in abnormal rate of ALT, AST, GGT between the young group and the middle-aged and elderly group (all P＞0.05); there was a significant difference in abnormal rate of LDH between the young group and the middle-aged and elderly group(P＜0.05). ConclusionPatients with COVID-2019 may experience different degrees of liver injury with the development of the disease, middle-aged and elderly patients tend to develop liver injury.There was no significant correlation with gender and age in mild and general patients. Therefore, liver function should be monitored in patients with COVID-2019, and the treatment method should be selected carefully to prevent liver injury.
