Objective To observe the analgesic effect and its complications of flurbiprofen axetil for spastic pain after transurethral re-section of prostate( TUR-P) . Methods 40 patients who were clinically diagnosed as benign prostatic hyperplasia and underwent TUR-P were randomly divided into the experimental group (n=20)and the control group(n=20). When the postsurgical spastic bladder pain happened, the patients in the experimental group received intravenous drip of flurbiprofen axetil 100 mg with saline 500 mL,and the patients in the con-trol group received intramuscular injection of pethidine hydrochloride 100 mg. If its effect is not good,100 mg bucinnazine hydrochloride were injected. Analgesia efficacy was assessed by visual analog scales( VAS) at 30 min,1 h,2 h,4 h,6 h and 8 h after medication. At the same time,the side-effects and complications were observed and recorded. Results There is no statistical difference between the experimental group and the control group at 30 min,1 h, and 2 h after medication(P>0. 05),but at 4 h,6 h and 8 h after medication,VAS score of the experimental group is obviously lower than that of the control group(P<0. 05). And the incidence of adverse reaction of the experimental group, such as thirst,dizziness,nausea and emesia,was lower than that of the control group(P<0. 05). But there is no significant difference in incidence of the secondary bleeding between the two groups(P>0. 05). Conclusion Intravenous drip of flurbiprofen axetil can be an ef-fective and safe way of curing postsurgical spastic bladder pain after TUR-P.

SHG was sulfated by chlorosulfonic acid-pyridine method, and six samples which we got were prepared in different reaction conditions. There is a characteristic absorption peak near 260 nm in UV spectra and there are two characteristic absorption peaks near 1240 cm(-1) and 810 cm(-1) in the FT-IR. Degree of sulfation (DS) was calculated by elemental analysis and turbidimetry. Under the same conditions the absorption peaks become strong with the DS increase. The anticoagulant activity of SHG and sulfated modification samples was evaluated by the classic coagulant assays of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thrombin time (APTT) live enzymes, and plasma thrombin time (TT). Results show that sulfated SHG has a good anticoagulant activity in vitro, and DS increased activity within a certain range.

Objective To compare the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose in septic shock patients with different tissue perfusion levels.Methods A prospective investigative study was conducted. Sixty-one septic shock patients with ages above 18 years old admitted to the Department of Critical Care Medicine of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from April 2013 to December 2013 were enrolled. The real-time continuous glucose monitoring system (RTCGMS) and arterial blood gas analyzer were used to measure the patients' interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose, and according to the criteria of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the median of relative absolute difference (Median RAD), the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose was calculated. Based on the lactate (Lac) level and pulse oxygen perfusion index (PI), the septic shock patients were divided into groups with different degrees of tissue perfusion, the consistency between the interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose among septic shock patients with different degrees of tissue perfusion was compared by using Bootstrap re-sampling technique.Results Negative correlation existed between PI and Lac (r= -0.272,P < 0.001), which showed the opposite change tendency of organism tissue perfusion. In patients with Lac > 8 mmol/L, their consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose was better than that in those with Lac > 2-4 mmol/L, and the 95% credibility intervals (CI) of ISO standardized deviation value was 0.026-38.710 (P < 0.05). In patients with PI ≤ 0.7%, their consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose was better than that in those with PI > 0.7%-1.4%, the 95%CI of median RAD difference value was 0.002-0.076, and the 95%CI of ISO standardized deviation value was -27.000 to -0.583 (allP < 0.05); in patients with PI > 3.0%, their consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial glucose was better than that in those with PI ≤ 0.7%, PI > 0.7%-1.4% and PI > 1.4%-3.0%, and the 95%CI of ISO standardized deviation values were 3.322-28.302, 11.988-40.265 and 5.170-33.333 respectively (allP < 0.05).Conclusions When septic shock patients were under low tissue perfusion (Lac > 8 mmol/L or PI ≤ 0.7%), the worse the tissue perfusion, the better the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose; when septic shock patients were under normal local tissue perfusion (PI > 3.0%), the better the local tissue perfusion, the better the consistency between interstitial fluid glucose and arterial blood glucose.

Objective To compare the safety and efficacy of carotid artery stenting (CAS) and carotid endarterectomy(CEA) for the treatment of carotid stenosis. Methods The electronic databases (PubMed, EMbase, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang) were searched in order to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about comparing CAS and CEA for the treatment of carotid stenosis. Cochrane collaboration's RevMan 5.0.24 were used for analyzing data. Results Twelve RCTs totalling 6903 patients (3460 patients were randomized to CAS and 3443 randomized to CEA) with symptomatic or asymptomatic stenosis were included in the meta-analysis. There were significantly higher 30-day relative risks after CAS than after CEA for death or any stroke [RR=1.64, 95%CI (1.33-2.03), P＜0.00001] and for stroke [RR=1.70, 95%CI (1.34-2.14), P＜0.00001]. The relative risks of myocardial infarction [RR=0.62, 95%CI (0.39-0.97), P=0.04] and cranial neuropathy [RR=0.07, 95%CI (0.03-0.16), P＜0.00001] was significantly less after CAS than after CEA. The relative risks of death [RR=1.27, 95%CI (0.82-1.96), P=0.29] or disabling stroke within 30 days [RR=1.33, 95%CI (0.78-2.28), P=0.29] and any stroke or death at 1 year after the procedures [RR=0.96, 95%CI (0.63-1.46), P=0.84] did not differ significantly between CAS and CEA operation. Conclusions CEA remains the first choice for treatment of carotid stenosis for patients with low surgery risk. For patients with high surgery risk and unsuitable for surgery, CAS has more advantages. It is reasonable to view CAS and CEA as complementary rather than competing modes of therapy.

This study was aimed to analyze the medication and herbal prescription rules in the treatment of nephrotic syndrome (NS) by Prof. Huang Chunlin with Traditional Chinese Medicine Inheritance Support System ( TCMISS ) . Prescriptions used for NS treatment were collected and the data was entered into the TCMISS . The commonly used herbs and herbal prescription rules in NS treatment by Prof. Huang were summarized through the association rules, revised mutual information, complex system entropy cluster and other unsupervised hierarchical clustering methods. The results showed that based on the analysis of 280 prescriptions from 68 patients, the fre-quency of each herb and association rules among herbs included in the database were identified. And the basic NS treatment prescription by Prof. Huang Chunlin and 8 new prescriptions were mined from the database. It was concluded that data mining is of great practical value to the summarization of clinical experiences of well-known TCM doctors.

ObjectiveAn out-thoracic paraaortic counterpulsation device(PACD) developed in the Reseach Center of our hospital was evaluated for its hemodynamic effects in an animal model with induced acute heart failure.MethodsEight healthy adult sheep with a weight of 38.5 to 54.5 kg were used as models for acute heart failure by snaring branches of coronary arteries.Thoracotomy was performed through the space under the left 4th rib.A Satinski clamp was used for partially clamping the descending aorta, and the Dacron vascular graft of out-thoracic PACD was sutured end-to-side to the descending aorta.The out-thoracic PACD used in this study had a blood chamber that was separated from the gas chamber by a movable polyurethane membrane .A stroke volume of 60 ml could be pumped when it was fully inflated.A 4F multipurpose catheter was inserted through the left ventricular apex for measuring and recording left ventricular pressures.A standard 40-ml intraaortic balloon was inserted into the descending aorta via the surgically exposed left femoral artery.Baseline hemodynamic data were collected after the model for acute heart failure was created without mechanical support.Mechanical support was randomly initiated either by the IABP or by the out-thoracic PACD in each experimental phase.Both devices were driven by the same console and synchronization with electrocardiogram was performed.Hemodynamic indexes and left carotid artery flow were calculated at baseline (device off) and during the period of 1 : 2 support for the 60-ml out-thoracic PACD and 40-ml IABP in the same animal.Baseline and support modes for devices were maintained for 15 minutes individually to ensure that a steady-state was achieved.ResultsBoth out-thoracic PACD and IABP resulted in a increase in the cardiac output (17.79％ with out-thoracic PACD vs.13.46％ with IABP, P =0.803) and the mean diastolic aortic pressure (29.48％ with out-thoracic PACD vs.15.01％ with IABP, P = 0.001).The use of out-thoracic PACD also led to a greater reduction in left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (35.09％ with out-thoracic PACD vs.15.79％ with IABP, P = 0.004).Meanwhile the out-thoracic PACD increased left carotid artery flow (14.52％ with out-thoracic PACD vs.6.70％ with IABP, P =0.006).No evidence of hemolysis, thrombus formation or major organ injury was identified during the experiment.ConclusionThe study indicated that a 60-ml out-thoracic PACD, which providing an improved mechanical circulatory support, was superior to a 40-ml IABP in the setting of experimental acute heart failure.This device may be used as a desirable alternative for the long-term mechanical support in patients with severe heart failure or those waiting for a heart transplantation, owing to its properties of low cost,easily to be implanted and removed, as well as a high biocompatibility.
