Objective To study the clinical significance of end-tidal carbon dioxide partial pressure (PetCO2 ) during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and seek the fixed value according which to decide if we should and when to give up.Methods This was a prospective,observational study.A total of 124 patients with cardiac arrest in or out-of-hospital from may 2003 to March 2009 in emergency department of our hospital were selected.All of them had definite etiological factors.Changes of PetCO2 in 124 cardiac arrest patients during CPR were tracked.Results The gender,age,rescue time in seventy-one patients with the return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) after endotracheal intubation have a significant difference with that in fifty-three patients without ROSC (P <0.01 ).The PetCO2 of the survival were higher than that of patients without ROSC or with ROSC,but finally died (P <0.01 ).A fixed point 14.4 mmHg of PetCO2 after 20 minutes' CPR can be used as a reference value to guide CPR or predict prognosis.Conclusions Monitoring PetCO2 during CPR has a predictive value on the success of resuscitation.

Objective: To elucidate the effect of cervical multi-infarction on memory function. Method: Homogenous microthrombi were injected into internal carotid artery(ICA) through external carotid artery of Sprangue-Dawlay rat to get unilateral,bilateral or recurrent embolic cerebral multi-infarcction model. Water maze and passive-avoidance tests were used to assess the memorial function. Brain histopathological changes were also conducted. Result: Memorial function was severely injured,on the contrast to the pseudo-operational rats. Among the three models, unilateral,bilateral and recurrent ones, recurrent multi-infarction model is the worst on the memorial function, while the bilateral group is worse. Conclusion: Cerebral multi-infarction can cause memorial dysfunction. The degree of memorial function is closely related to the degree of ischemic severity.

Objective To determine the optimum dose of dexmedetomidine for lumbar plexus combined with sciatic nerve block when mixed with ropivacaine.Methods Eighty ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes,aged 18-63 yr,weighing 47-83 kg,scheduled for elective ankle joint surgery,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =20 each) using a random number table:ropivacaine group (group R) and different doses of dexmedetomidine mixed with ropivacaine groups (RD1-3 groups).Lumbar plexus block was performed by using psoas-compartment approach guided by a nerve stimulator.0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml was injected in group R.0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml containing dexmedetomidine 1.0,1.5 and 2.0 μg/kg was injected in RD1 3 groups,respectively.Labat's sciatic nerve block was performed,and 10 ml of the corresponding drug was injected in each group.The onset time and duration of sensory and motor blockade,and side effects such as cardiovascular events and excessive sedation were recorded.Results There was no significant difference in the onset time and duration of sensory and motor blockade between the four groups.The duration of sensory and motor blockade was significantly longer in RD1-3 groups than in group R,in RD2 and RD3 groups than in group RD1,and in RD3 group than in RD2 group.The incidence of over-sedation and bradycardia was significantly higher in RD3 group than in RD1.2 groups.Conclusion The optimum dose of dexmedetomidine is 1.5 μg/kg for lumbar plexus combined with sciatic nerve block when mixed with ropivacaine.

Objective:To explore novel compounds with anti-EV71 activity. Methods: A series of oligopeptides were designed based on the active groove of the EV71 3C protease using molecular simulation technology. Furthermore, some oligopeptides were syn-thesized and tested for the inhibition ability against EV71 in vitro. Results:Pentapeptides had higher binding affinity to the EV71 3C protease than the other oligopeptides, such as compounds 25 and 16. Therefore, compounds 25 and 16 were synthesized and tested in vitro for the anti-EV71 activity, and compound 25 exhibited potent anti-EV71 activity(EC50 =1. 36 μmol·L-1, CC50 =211. 94 μmol ·L-1, SI=155. 84), while compound 16 had no evident effect on EV71. Conclusion: It is worthy of further investigation on com-pound 25 as a novel scaffold of anti-EV71inhibitor.

A new, convenient, and rapid method for kinetic measurement of human fibrinolysis was established. The alteration of absorbance (A) in the process of blood coagulation and lyses was automatically scanned and recorded using a UV2000 spectrophotometer connected to a computer. The parameters of human fibrinolysis kinetics were established. Urokinase at 20 U/mL was the optimal concentration used. There was significant difference in fibrinolysis kinetics and plasma plasminogen concentration between 22 normal subjects and 27 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (P<0.05 and <0.01 respectively). The coefficience of variation was (5.24+/-1.51)%. This method could also be used to measure the plasma fibrinogen concentration at the same time. It was concluded that this method was stable and was capable of providing dynamic, direct experimental data and multiparemeters for clinicians. It was also valuable in evaluating the anti-and pro-fibrinolytic capcity of patients' plasmas, allowing for monitoring of therapy, choice of drugs and adjustment of drug concentrations.

Objective To study the benchmark dose (BMD) of fluoride concentration in saliva,and to evaluate the significance of saliva fluoride on control and prevention of endemic fluorosis.Methods In September 2014,middle school students in endemic fluorosis areas and non-endemic fluorosis areas in North China Petoleum were selected as objects.The contents of fluoride in water,urine and saliva were determined.The correlation of fluoride content in water,urine fluoride and fluoride concentration in saliva was analyzed.According to the levels of the saliva fluoride concentration,the children were divided into 11 groups,< 1.00,1.00-,2.00-,3.00-,4.00-,5.00-,6.00-,7.00-,8.00-,9.00-and ≥ 10.00 mg/L.The prevalence of dental fluorosis and defected dental fluorosis were investigated and the saliva fluoride concentration was calculated by Banch-Mark Dose Software.Results Compared with non endemic areas,the fluoride contents in water,urine and saliva [(2.13 ± 0.13),(1.29 ±0.73),(4.01 ± 3.61) mg/L] were higher than that in endemic areas [(0.67 ± 0.13),(0.38 ± 0.08),(0.75 ± 0.12) mg/L,t =158.730,24.780,18.114,all P < 0.01].The fluoride concentration in saliva was positively correlated with the fluoride content in water and urine in endemic areas (r =0.626,0.945,all P < 0.01).The (BMDs and benchmark dose lower bound (BMDLs) were 0.91,0.54,3.72,3.32 mg/L respectively,calculated by Banch-Mark Dose Software.With the increase of fluoride concentration in saliva,the prevalence of dental fluorosis and defect dental fluorosis had increased too,especially when the fluoride content in saliva was more than 4 mg/L.There were significant doseresponse relationships between the urine fluoride and the prevalence of dental fluorosis and defected dental fluorosis.Conclusion The fluoride concentration in saliva could be used as one of the evaluation indexes of fluorosis,and the BMD of saliva fluoride concentration in endemic fluorosis areas is suggested as 0.91 mg/L.
