Objective To assess the value of procalcitonin(PCT) in diagnosis and treatment of ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP). Methods 60 patients on ventilators were divided into VAP group and non-VAP group depending on whether the patients developed VAP in 7 days or not. The VAP group again was divided into PCT group and the control group. Data of PCT, C-reactive protein (CRP) and WBC were assessed at baseline, in 6 hours when VAP was suspected, and every two days after mechanical ventilation. The control group received antibiotics according to usual practice and stopped when CPIS≤6 scores. Antibiotic treatment of the PCT group was based on serum PCT concentrations. Results The CRP and WBC showed no obvious difference between the VAP and non-VAP group before mechanical ventilation ( all P ＞ 0. 05 ), after ventilation both mean values increased, with the P 0. 046 and 0. 822,respectively;Taking CRP≥28mg/L and WBC≥ 10×109/L as the cutoff value,the diagnostic sensitivity of CRP and WBC for VAP were 73.3% and 66.7% respectively,their specificity was 50% and 43.3 % ,respectively.Taking PCT ≥0.40μg/L as the cutoff value, the PCT positive percentage did not show difference between VAP group and non-VAP group before mechanical ventilation( P ＞ 0. 05 ). However, it was much higher in the VAP group than that of non-VAP group after mechanical ventilation( P ＜ 0. 01 ). The PCT level of 0.40 ug/l yielded a 93.3% sensitivity and a 73.3 % specificity for VAP in the study cohort ( AUROCC = 0. 823; 95 % CI,0.71-0. 94; P ＜ 0. 01 ). The antibiotic duration of the PCT group was( 12. 6 ± 5.6) days compared with( 15. 1 ± 9.1 ) days for the control group (P ＜ 0. 05). Patients assigned to the PCT group had 2.5 days shorter mean duration of antibiotic therapy for the first episode of infection than the control group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusion PCT had high sensitivity in the diagnosis of VAP. CPIS ≥6 combined with serum levels of PCT ≥0. 40μg/L markedly improved the specificity( 100% ). PCT guidance substantially reduced antibiotic use in VAP, so that timely surveillance of serum PCT was necessary for patients on ventilator.

Objective To study the clinical features of traumatic mitral regurgitation and its surgical treatment methods and outcomes. Methods Clinical data of 16 patients with traumatic mitral regurgitation surgically treated from December 2000 to November 2008 were retrospectively analyzed. The cardiac thoracic ratio was 0.55 ±0.07 and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was (51.2% ±23.2)%. According to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification, 10 patients were at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ before operation. The surgical procedures consisted of mitral valvuloplasty in 14 patients and mitral replacement in two, when correction of other cardiac injuries was made at the same time.Of all, 14 patients obtained follow-up for (35.2 ± 25.7 ) months. Results The interval between trauma and appearance of mitral regurgitation was (23.3 ±50.90) months. Of 13 patients with echocardiography during follow-up, there were four patients with normal tricuspid hemodynamics, seven with trace tricuspid regurgitation and two with mild regurgitation. The value of LVEF was (66.8 ± 9.0)% at followup, significantly higher than preoperation (P ＜ 0. 05 ). There were 13 patients at grade Ⅰ - Ⅱ of NYHA,with a significant increase compared with preoperation ( P ＜ 0. 01 ). Conclusions Mitral regurgitation may emerge either immediately or several years after trauma. Traumatic mitral regurgitation patients can get satisfactory outcomes when comprehensive mitral valvuloplasty or mitral replacement is performed promptly.

Objective To investigate the clinical and genetic characteristics of hereditary spastic paraplegia(HSP).Methods The clinical material of 113 patients in 39 families with HSP was analyzed retrospectively.Results The ratio of male to female was 1:1.17.The age at HSP onset was from 2 to 58 years old, the mean age was 21.4 years old, and 81.7% of the patients had HSP before 30. 89.4% of the patients had positive family history and they showed mostly autosomal dominant inheritance. The rate of consanguinity was 28.2%. 24 cases had pure while 89 cases had complicated spastic paraplegia. In the HSP group, we could found the weakness of legs in 65.5% patients, spasticity and hyperreflexia of lower limbs in 96.5%, extensor plantar responses in 68.1%, ataxia in 46.9%, muscular atrophy in 32.7% and dementia in 18.6%.Conclusion In the HSP group, the year of onset was mostly before 30. The female HSP cases were more than the male's, and the complicated cases were more often than the pure. Autosomal dominant was the mostly frequent inheritance, and there were more chances of HSP in the consanguineous families.

To investigate the relation between AR and the survival period in patients with colorectal cancer.Multiple variance Cox regression analysis was performed between AR, DNA and CEA in tumor tissues and normal mucosa, and other host and tumor characteristics, such as gender, age, location of tumor (colon, rectum), degree of differentiation (high, middle, low), Dukes stage (A,B,C,D) and the survival period, in 30 colorectal patients. There were no significant differences with regard to gender, age, histological differentiation, AR, DNA and CEA levels in tumor tissues. Rectal carcinoma had poorer prognosis than colon carcinoma ( P

Aim: To search for novel α_1-adrenoceptor(α_1-AR) antagonists. Methods: On the basis of hybridization principle with silodosin as the lead compound, twelve 5-[2-[4-[ ( substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazin-1-yl] propyl] indoline compounds were designed and synthesized by maintaining indoline while incorporating the 1-[(substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazine group. Results: The structures of synthesized target compounds were confirmed by the elemental analysis, IR, ESI-MS and ~1H NMR. Preliminary pharmacological test showed that pA_2 values of six target compounds were greater than 7. 50, which suggested that the compounds possessed considerable α_1-AR antagonic activity. Conclusion: 5-[2-[4-[ ( substituted phenoxy) alkyl] piperazin-1-yl] propyl] indoline compounds is potentially a new candidate for α_1-AR antagonist.

[Objective] To detect the expression levels of connexin43(Cx43),P-gp and COX-2 in bone marrow of patients with acute leukemia (AL),and investigate their relationship with the pathogenesis,prognosis and resistance of this condition.[Methods]Using SYBR green real-time quantitativereverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (SYBR-RT-PCR),the expression of Cx43,P-gp and COX-2 mRNA were detected in 77 AL patients at different phases,including 36 initially-treated,20 complete-remission (CR)and 20 relapsed.A follow-up was done in those initially lreated.[Results]Expression levels of Cx43,P-gp and COX-2 mRNA from initially-treated were 0.52±0.57,1.42 ±1.06,1.14±0.95;those from relapse AL patients were 0.20±0.40,2.29 ±1.11,1.69±0.81,respectively,those from CR patients were 0.95±0.37,0.93±-0.73,0.79±0.58,respectively,those from normal patients were 1.16 ±0.67,0.86±0.63,0.61±0.57.Expression levels of Cx43 mRNA in initially-treated and relapse AL patients were significantly lower than those in normal patients and CR patients(initially-treated P were 0.001,0.005;relapse patients were P＜0.001),while the comparison between normal patients and CR patients showed no statistical significance(P=0.185).Cx43mRNA expression level was negatively correlated with P-gp and COX-2 mRNA,and a negative correlation was noted of both two expressions in initially-treated and relapse groups (Cx43 mRNA and P-gp mRNA r were -0.471,-0.362,-0.526;Cx43 mRNA and COX-2 mRNA r were -0.479,-0.344,-0.471).A follow-up of four months was conducted in 36 initially-treated patients,eight of them died.The expression Cx43 in those who died was lower than that who survived.The difference was significant(t=2.16,P=0.042).[Conclusion] Cx43mRNA expression levels of initially-treated and relapse AL patients were lower than those in normal patients and CR patients,P-gp and COX-2 mRNA expression levels of initially-treated and relapse AL patients were higher than those in normal patients and CR patients.Cx43 expre-ssion probably is a favorable prognostic factor.Cx43 is participation in the genesis,development and drug resistance of AL.
