To fulfill the performance optimization for database of HIS, the shortest query response time and the highest throughput of database server are realized through the minimization of the network flow, disc I/O and CPU time. The performance optimization should exist throughout the development of HIS, so the requirements of HIS applications, the logical construction and physical structure of data, the balance of conflicting databases should be involved in.

Objective To study how to reduce the incidence rate of skin flap necrosis after the eradicative resection of breast cancer. Methods 45 patients with breast cancer underwent eradicative operation with new methods to prevent the necrosis of skin flap,and they were studied and compared with 1210 cases treated by traditional ways. Results With the new methods adopted, the necrosis rate of skin flap following eradicative operation of breast cancer was reduced from 45%(original)to 2%(present).Statistic analysis showed that there was outstanding difference between them. Conclusion In the eradicative operation of breast cancer,the key to prevent the necrosis rate of skin flap is:prevention of subaxillary lymphatic fistula, two tubular drainage set individually in subcostalis and subaxillaris, appropriate force of chest bandaging, proper thickness of skin flap and perfect suture without tension.

Objective To investigate the long-term effects of propofol postconditioning on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats.Methods One hundred and forty-four healthy male SD rats,aged 7-8 weeks,weighing 250-280 g,were equally and randomly divided into 4 groups:sham operation group (group S),I/R group,propofol postconditioning group (group P) and intralipid group (group I).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 10％ chloral hydrate 300 mg/kg.Focal cerebral ischemia was induced by occlusion of middle cerebral artery for 60 min using a nylon thread with a rounded tip which was inserted into internal carotid artery in groups I/R,P and I.Two hour infusion of propofol was started at 20 mg· kg- 1· h- 1 immediately after the onset of reperfusion in group P,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in S and I/R groups,and 10％ intralipid was given instead in group I.Five rats in each group were chosen on day 1,14 and 28 after operation for assessment of neurological behavior and detection of cerebral infarct volume.Six rats in each group were chosen to perform Morris water maze test at day 9 and 23 after operation for 6 consecutive days.Five rats in each group were sacrificed on day 1,14 and 28 after operation and the hippocampal tissues were isolated for determination of the expression of GluR1-containing AMPA (GluR1-AMPA) receptor and GluR1-AMPA receptor in cell membrane.The ratio of GluR1-AMPA receptor in cell membrane/GluR1-AMPA receptor was calculated.Results Compared with group S,neurological behavior scores and the number of animals' swimming across the platform were significantly decreased,cerebral infarct volume was significantly enlarged,escape latency was significantly prolonged,and ratio of GluR1-AMPA receptor in cell membrane/GluR1-AMPA receptor was significantly increased ( P ＜ 0.05),while no significant change in the expression of GluR1-AMPA receptor was found in I/R group ( P ＞0.05).Propofol postconditioning inhibited cerebral I/R-induced changes mentioned above ( P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The brain protection against focal I/R injury by propofol postconditioning can last for 28 days after operation and the inhibition of trafficking of GluR1-AMPA receptor from cytoplasm to cell membrane may contribute to this long-term brain protection.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of twin pregnancies complicated with severe preeclampsia.Methods The pregnant outcomes of 131 twin pregnancies (twin group) and 572 singleton pregnancies (singleton group),all complicated with severe preeclampsia,were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,West China Second University Hospital,Sichuan University from June 2007 to June 2011.The patients' age,onset of disease,gestational weeks at delivery,mean duration of expectant treatment,blood pressure,laboratory parameters and incidence of pregnancy complications,including placental abruption,heart failure,pulmonary edema,postpartum hemorrhage,uteroplacental apoplexy,eclampsia,HELLP syndrome (hemolysis,elevated liver enzymes and low platelets syndrome),hypoproteinemia,retinopathy,intracranial hemorrhage and renal insufficiency,were compared between the two groups.Perinatal outcomes such as premature delivery,perinatal mortality,neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization,fetal distress,hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE),asphyxia neonatorum,neonatal pneumonia,hyperbilirubinemia and neonatal hypoglycemia of two groups were also compared.Chi-square test,Fisher's exact test or t-test were used for statistical analysis.Results The severe preeclampsia incidence of twin pregnancies (5.03％,131/2604) was higher than that (1.94％,572/29 452) of singleton pregnancy (x2=106.40,P＜0.001).The onset time [(33.6±1.8) weeks] and gestations at delivery [(34.6±2.9) weeks] in twin group were earlier than those in singleton group [(34.4± 2.0) weeks,t=2.364,P＜0.05; (35.6±3.2) weeks,t=3.902,P＜0.05].The duration of expectant treatment of twin group [(6.4±0.3) d] were shorter than that of singleton group [(7.4± 0.5) d,t=5.314,P＜0.01].The incidence of placental abruption [9.9％ (13/131) vs 4.2％ (24/572),x2=7.013,P＜0.01],heart failure [11.5％ (15/131) vs 3.2％ (18/572),x2=16.430,P＜0.01],pulmonary edema [4.6％ (6/131) vs 0.9％ (5/572),x2=9.505,P＜0.01],postpartum hemorrhage [16.0％ (21/131) vs 7.0％ (40/572),x2 =10.990,P ＜ 0.01] and uteroplacental apoplexy [5.3％ (7/131) vs 0.5％ (3/572),x2 =17.650,P＜0.01] of twin group were higher than those of singleton group,respectively.The incidence of premature delivery [77.1％ (202/262) vs 29.9％ (171/572),x2=162.000,P＜0.05],NICU hospitalization [76.2％ (205/262) vs 58.4％(332/572),x2 =31.980,P＜0.05] and HIE [8.4％ (22/262) vs 4.7％ (27/572),x2 =4.392,P＜0.05] of twin group were higher than those of singleton group,respectively.Conclusions Twin pregnancy women are more likely to be complicated with severe preeclampsia and more vulnerable to suffer from severe complications,resulting in poor perinatal outcomes.More attentions should be paid on the management of twin pregnancy.Once hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy is diagnosed,active management should be provided and timing of termination should be considered.

The positive rate of AD preliminary screening was 7.28% (2 476 cases). Multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that age (70 to 74 years, OR=1.357; 75 to 79 years, OR=1.807; 80 to 84 years, OR=2.782; 85 years and older, OR=4.907), gender (female, OR=1.118), residence (urban areas, OR=0.713), marital status (unmarried, OR=3.078; widowed/separated/divorced, OR=1.301), educational level (primary school, OR=0.629; junior high school and above, OR=0.609), occupation before retirement (others, OR=0.741), family genetic history (no, OR=0.651), household disposable monthly income (1 000 to 1 999 Yuan, OR=0.636; 2 000 to 2 999 Yuan, OR=0.569; 3 000 Yuan and above, OR=0.448), exercise (seldom, OR=0.855; regular, OR=0.780), number of chronic diseases (2~5, OR=1.328), hearing loss (no, OR=0.764), smell loss (no, OR=0.615), chronic constipation (no, OR=0.696), major negative life events (no, OR=0.804), subjective memory loss (no, OR=0.583), sleep quality (general, OR=0.640; good, OR=0.616), living style (living with spouse, OR=0.300; living alone, OR=0.315; living with children, OR=0.350) and social activities (2-3 times/week, OR=0.584; 4 times/week and more, OR=0.409) were factors affecting the positive rate of AD preliminary screening. Conclusions The positive rate of AD preliminary screening among the elderly in Ningbo City is relatively high. Age, gender, economic conditions, exercise, social activities and physical conditions were factors affecting the positive rate of AD preliminary screening.

To observe the efficacy of herbs for calming liver and suppressing liver-yang in treatment of migraine patients with hyperactivity of liver-yang syndrome and to investigate its effects on the lymphocyte protein expression. This approach may lay a foundation for the further investigation of pathogenic mechanisms in migraine with hyperactive liver-yang syndrome and the curative mechanisms of calming liver and suppressing liver-yang treatment.

Objective To explore the molecular mechanism of the formulae for calming the liver and suppressing YANG in migraine rat model with syndrome of hyperactivity of the liver-YANG.Methods A rat model of migraine with hyperactivity of liver-YANG was established through electrical trigeminal ganglion stimulation and syndrome of oral administration of Fuzi decoction. The total proteins of the lymphocyte in the rats were separated by immobilized pH gradient-based 2-dimensional gel electrophoresis(2-DE), and the 2-DE image was analyzed by PDQuest 7.0 software. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionzation-time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and the SWISS-PORT and MSDB database were used to identify differential proteins.Results The formulae for calming the liver and suppressing YANG could also improve headache. Well-resolution and reproducible 2-DE patterns of rat lymphocyte from normal, model, and therapy tissues were obtained. Eleven of the total 13 differential protein spots were successfully identified by MALDI-TOF-MS. These proteins were alcohol dehydrogenase 3(ADH3), glycogen phosphorylase, ATP synthase D chain, annexin-3, ubiquitin, neutrophil defensin 4 precursor, melanoma-associated antigen E2, heat shock protein-27, annexin-A1, peroxirdoxin-Ⅱ, MU class glutathione S-transferase (Fragment)(GSH). Conclusion Differences occur in the expression of lymphocyte proteins in migraine rats with syndrome of hyperactivity of liver-YANG after treatment with the formulae for calming the liver and suppressing YANG, and the 11 identified protein spots may be associated with its mechanism.

Objective To study the correlation between the clinical characteristics of HCC patients with different phenotype circulating tumor cells in the peripheral blood.Methods 77 patients with HCC and 21 patients with benign liver diseases treated at Zhujiang Hospital of Southern Medical University from April 2015 to December 2016 were retrospectively studied.The CanPatrolTM System was adoptedto detect epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype CTCs in the peripheral blood.This study aimed to clarify whether the epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype CTCs were specifically originated from the tumorand to investigate the correlation between CTCs and the clinical features of the patients.Results Using epithelial and mesenchymal markers,the CTCs were divided into three subtypes:epithelial,mesenchymal and mixed CTCs.No epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype CTCs were detected in patients with benign liver diseases.The positivity rates of epithelial,mixed and mesenchymal CTCs in the peripheral blood of 77 patients with HCC were 37.7％ (29/77),74.0％ (57/77) and 50.6％ (39/77),respectively.The positivity rates of epithelial-mesenchymal phenotype CTCs in patients with HCC were significantly higher than the group of patients with benign liver diseases (P ＜ 0.05).The positivity rates of epithelial CTCs were significantly correlated with AFP,number of tumor and portal vein tumor thrombus (P ＜ 0.05).The positivity rates of mixed CTCs were significantly correlated with portal vein tumor thrombus,tumor differentiation and BCLC stage (P ＜ 0.05).The positivity rates of mesenchymal CTCs were significantly correlated with tumor size,portal vein tumor thrombus,tumor differentiation and BCLC stage (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The positivity rates of epithelial,mixed and mesenchymal CTCs were closely related to different aspects of clinical characteristics of patients with HCC.These CTCs may serve as indicatorsto evaluatethe progress of HCC.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of treatment of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor(rhG-CSF),recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11)and recombinant human interleukin-2 (rhIL-2)on hematopoietic injuries induced by 4.5 Gy60 Coγ-ray irradiation in beagles,and to provide experimental evidence for the clinical treatment of extremely severe myeloid acute radiation sickness (ARS).Methods Sixteen beagle dogs were given 4.5 Gy60 Co γ-ray total body irradiation(TBI),then randomly assigned into irradiation control group,supportive care group or cytokines+supportive care (abbreviated as cytokines)group.In addition to supportive care,rhG-CSF,rhlL-11 and rhIL-2 were administered subcutaneously to treat dogs in cytokines group.The percentage of CD34+cells,cell cycle and apoptosis of nucleated cells in peripheral blood were examined by Flow cytometry.Results After 4.5 Gy 60 Co γ-ray irradiation,the CD34+cells in peripheral blood declined obviously(61.3%and 52.1% of baseline for irradiation control and supportive care group separately).The cell proportion of nucleated cells in Go/G1 phase was increased notably(99.27% and 99.49% respectively).The rate of apoptosis(26.93% and 21.29% separately)and necrosis(3.27% and 4.14%,respectively)of nucleated cells were elevated significantly when compared with values before irradiation(P<0.05) 1 d post irradiation.When beagles were treated with cytokines and supportive care,the CD34+cells in peripheral blood were markedly increased(135.6% of baseline).The effect of G0/G1 phase blockage of nucleated cells became more serious(99.71%).The rate of apoptosis(5.66%)and necrosis(1.60%)of nucleated cells were significantly lower than that of irradiation control and supportive care groups 1 d after exposure.Conclusions Cytokines maybe mobilize CD34+cells in bone marrow to peripheral blood,indce cell cycle block at G0/G1 phase and reduce apoptosis,and eventually cure hematopoieticinjuries induced by irradiation.

Objectivc To observe the therapeutic effects of combined cytokines on hematopoietic injuries induced by 4.5 Gy60 Co γ-rays irradiation in beagles,and to provide experimental evidences for the clinical treatment of extremely severe myeloid acute radiation sickness(ARS).Methods 16 beagles were given 4.5 Gy60 Co γ-rays total body irradiation,and then randomly assigned into irradiation control group,supportive care group and cytokines group.In addition to supportive care,recombinant human granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF),recombinant human interleukin-11(rhIL-11)and recombinant human interleukin-2(rhIL-2)were administered subcutaneouly to dogs in cytokines group.Peripheral blood hemogram was examined once every two days.Bone marrow and peripheral blood were collected to proceed colony cultivation 4 d pre-irradiation and 1 and 45 d post-irradiation.Conventional histopathological sections of sternum were prepared to observe the histomorphology changes. Results After irradiation,the population of all kinds of cells in peripheral blood declined sharply.WBC nadir Was elevated(1.04×109/L,but 0.28×109/L and 0.68×109/L for the irradiation control group and the supportive care group separately),the duration of thrombocytopenia was shortened (24 days,but 33 days for the supportive care groug) and red blood cell counts were maintained in the range of normal values after cytokincs treatment in combination.The colony forming efficiency of haemopoietic stem cells(HSCs)in bone marrow and peripheral blood decreased obviously 1 d post irradiation,but recovered to the level of that before irradiation 45 d post irradiation after supportive care and cytokines treatment.Hematopoietic cells disappeared in bone marrow of animals in irradiation control group,but hematopoietic functions were recovered after cytokines were administrated.Conclusions RhG-CSF.rhIL-11 and rhIL-2 used in combination could elevate WBC nadir,accelerate the recovery of leukocytes,platelets and red blood cells and promote the proliferation,differentiation and maturity of HSPCs left in the body after 4.5 Gy γ-rays total body irradiation,eventually restore the hematopoietic function.Hence,combination of rhG-CSF,rhIL-11 and rhIL-2 could serve as better therapeutic strategy to treat extremely severe myeloid ARS.
