Purpose　To improve the diagnostic level of liver and spleen traumatic rupture in CT. Methods　39 cases of liver and spleen traumatic rupture diagnosed with CT images,analyzed comparing with CT findings,surgical outcome and clinical representation. Rusults　There are two categories of CT findings in cases of liver and spleen traumatic rupture. Liver and spleen traumatic avulsion: 7cases represented high density patches in liver and spleen parenchyma; 4cases represented low density zonary focus;18 cases represented irregular low density patches. 11 cases represented multi-spots of high density in above mentioned focuses. Hematoma under envelop of liver and spleen: 15 cases represented same or low density lunular focuses lying the edge of liver and spleen, some fresh hematoma represented high density. Conclusion　For diagnosing the liver and spleen traumatic rupture, following CT findings are valuable: ①Irregular high and low density bleeding focuses in liver and spleen; ②Lunular low density hematoma under envelop of liver; ③ Celiac hematocele symptom.

Objective To investigate the risk factors,clinic charactertics and survival prognosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) in patients with lung cancer.Methods The clinic data of 28 lung cancer patients with PE,hospitalized in department of respiratory and critical care medicine of Tianjin Chest Hospital between June 2012 to June 2015,were retrospectively reviewed.Eleven of them were diagnosed with primary lung cancer and PE (symptomatic group),and 17 lung cancer patients were found PE accidentally (asymptomatic group).A total of 56 lung cancer patients without PE were used as control subjects (no PE group).Data of pathological types,clinical staging of lung cancer,systemic chemotherapy,white blood cell (WBC),hemoglobin (Hb),platelet (PLT),D-dimer (DD),albumin (ALB) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were analyzed by univariate analysis in the symptomatic group and asymptomatic group.Logistic regression analysis was carried out on the statistically significant indexes to observe the influencing factors.The morphology and location of the remobilization images were analyzed in lung cancer patients with PE.The median time to embolism and survival of PE patients were compared between symptomatic group and asymptomatic group.Results The proportion of adenocarcinoma,systemic chemotherapy and stage Ⅲ + Ⅳ were significantly higher in PE group than those in no PE group (P ＜ 0.01).The ratio of white blood cells (WBC)＞ 11× 109/L (hyperleukocytosis) and albumin (ALB) ＜30 g/L and D-dimer (DD)＞ 0.5 mg/L were significantly higher in PE group than those of no PE group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no statistical differences in other indicators including clinical symptoms between the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).The logistic regression analysis showed that adenocarcinoma,chemotherapy,WBC＞ 11× 109/L and DD＞0.5 mg/L were the risk factors of lung cancer with PE (P ＜ 0.05).There was higher ratio of asymptomatic PE in lung cancer patients with PE.There were no significant differences in morphology and location of the remobilization images in symptomatic group.The median time of embolization was 3.6 months (95％ CI:3.2-4.0) in the asymptomatic group,which was significantly earlier than that in the symptomatic group (10.5 months,95％ CI:8.88-12.12,P ＜ 0.01).The median survival time was 7.2 months (95％ CI:5.86-8.56) in the asymptomatic group,which was significantly longer than that of symptomatic group (2.8 months,95％ CI:2.48-3.12,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Lung adenocarcinom,systemic chemotherapy,hypoproteinemia and increased D-dimer are the independent risk factors in lung cancer patients with PE.PE in lung cancer is frequently asymptomatic in the early stage.Compared to symptomatic patients,asymptomatic cases have better prognosis.

In order to investigate the influence of silencing soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) with double-stranded small interfering RNA (siRNA) on cardiomyocytes apoptosis induced by doxorubicin (DOX), two plasmids containing siRNA sequences specific to sEH were constructed and transfected into the primary cultured cardiomyocytes by using FuGENE HD transfection agents. The mRNA and protein expression levels of sEH were detected by semiquantitative RT-PCR and Western blotting respectively, and the plasmids that silenced sEH most significantly were selected, and renamed EH-R. The plasmids carrying a nonspecific siRNA coding sequence (PCN) served as the negative control. Cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups: control group, DOX group, PCN+DOX group, and EH-R+DOX group. Apoptosis of cardiomyocytes was induced by DOX at a concentration of 1 μmol/L. Apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes was determined by flow cytometery. The protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that the expression of sEH was down-regulated by EH-R plasmid. The expression levels of sEH mRNA and protein in the EH-R+DOX group were significantly decreased as compared with other groups (P<0.01). As compared with the control group, the apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes in three DOX-treated groups was obviously increased, the expression levels of Bax increased, and those of Bcl-2 decreased (P<0.01). However, the expression levels of Bax were decreased, those of Bcl-2 increased and the apoptosis rate of cardiomyocytes obviously decreased in EH-R+DOX group when compared with those in the DOX group and the PCN+DOX group (P<0.01 for each). It was concluded that the recombinant plasmids could be successfully constructed, and transfected into the primary cultured cardiomyocytes. They could ameliorate the DOX-induced cardiomyocytes apoptosis by selectively inhibiting the expression of sEH with RNAi and increasing the expression of Bcl-2.

Objective To investigate whether the presence of sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) would predict nosocomial coma (NC) and poor outcome in patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH). Methods A retrospective cohort study was conducted. The adult acute SICH patients with or without coma admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Shuyang People' Hospital Affiliated to Xuzhou Medical University from December 2012 to December 2015 were enrolled. Brain computed tomography (CT) scans were analyzed and the patients were divided into pre-hospital coma (PC) and NC groups. The clinical data and the incidence of SAE of patients in two groups were compared, and the 30-day prognosis was followed up. Univariate and Cox regression analyses were performed to analyze whether SAE would predict NC and poor outcome in patients with SICH. Results A total of 330 patients with acute SICH and coma were enrolled, excluding 60 cases of infratentorial cerebral hemorrhage, 3 cases of primary intraventricular hemorrhage, and 6 cases of unknown volume hematoma. Finally, 261 patients were included, with 111 patients of NC events, and 150 patients of PC events. 69 (62.2%) SAE in SICH with NC and 33 (22.2%) SAE in SICH with PC was diagnosed, and the incidence of SAE between two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.01). Compared with PC group, SICH patients in the NC group had lower incidence of hypertension (81.1% vs. 96.0%), longer time from onset to NC [days: 2.3 (23.9) vs. 0 (0.5)] and length of ICU stay [days: 5.0 (34.0) vs. 3.0 (12.0)], higher initial Glasgow coma score (GCS, 10.2±1.5 vs. 6.6±1.6) and sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score [4.0 (6.0) vs. 3.0 (3.0)], lower initial National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (19.4±6.6 vs. 30.2±6.8), as well as more frequent sepsis (78.4% vs. 38.0%), vegetative state (24.3% vs. 14.0%), acute respiratory failure (24.3% vs. 10.0%), pneumonia (37.8% vs. 24.0%), septic shock (8.1% vs. 0), acute liver failure (5.4% vs. 0), hypernatremia (8.1% vs. 0), CT indicating that more frequent vasogenic edema (64.9% vs. 16.0%) and white matter lesion (13.5% vs. 2.0%), and less mannitol usage (94.6% vs. 100.0%), and less brain midline shift (32.4% vs. 68.0%) and hematoma enlargement (8.1% vs. 30.0%), less hematoma volume (mL: 28.0±18.8 vs. 38.3±24.4) in CT, and higher 30-day mortality (54.1% vs. 26.0%) with statistical differences (all P < 0.05). It was shown by Cox regression analyses that SAE [hazard ratio (HR) = 3.5, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 1.346-6.765, P = 0.000] and SOFA score (HR = 1.8, 95%CI = 1.073-1.756, P = 0.008) were independent risk factors of death of SICH patients with NC, and hematoma enlargement was independent risk factor of death of SICH patients with PC (HR = 3.0, 95%CI = 1.313-5.814, P = 0.000). Conclusion SAE is the independent factor of inducing NC event and poor prognosis in SICH patients.

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of oxidative stress on ventricular arrhythmias in rabbits with adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy and the relationship between oxidative stress and ventricular arrhythmia. Forty Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups (n=10 in each): control group, metoprolol (a selective β1 receptor blocker) group, carvedilol (a nonselective β blocker/α-1 blocker) group and adriamycin group. Models of adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy were established by intravenously injecting adriamycin hydrochloride (1 mg/kg) to rabbits via the auri-edge vein twice a week for 8 weeks in the adriamycin, metoprolol and carvedilol groups. Rabbits in the control group were given equal volume of saline through the auri-edge vein. Rabbits in the metoprolol and carvedilol groups were then intragastrically administrated metoprolol (5 mg/kg/d) and carvedilol (5 mg/kg/d) respectively for 2 months, while those in the adriamycin and control groups were treated with equal volume of saline in the same manner as in the metroprolol and carvedilol groups. Left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDd) and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) were measured by echocardiography. Plasma levels of N-terminal pro B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP), malondialdehyde (MAD) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were detected. The left ventricular wedge preparations were perfused with Tyrode's solution. The transmural electrocardiogram, transmural action potentials from epicardium (Epi) and endocardium (Endo), transmural repolarization dispersion (TDR) were recorded, and the incidences of triggered activity and ventricular arrhythmias were obtained at rapid cycle lengths. The results showed that TDR and the serum MDA and NT-proBNP levels were increased, and LVEF and the serum SOD level decreased in the adriamycin group compared with the control group. The incidences of triggered activity and ventricular arrhythmia were significantly higher in the adriamycin group than those in the control group (P<0.05). In the carvedilol group as compared with the adriamycin group, the serum SOD level and the LVEF were substantially increased; the TDR, and the serum MDA and NT-proBNP levels were significantly decreased; the incidences of triggered activity and ventricular arrhythmia were obviously reduced (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the levels of MDA and SOD, LVEF, TDR and the incidences of triggered activity and ventricular arrhythmia between the adriamycin group and the metoprolol group. It was concluded that carvedilol may inhibit triggered activity and ventricular arrhythmias in rabbit with adriamycin-induced cardiomyopathy, which is related to the decrease in oxygen free radials.
