OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of prostaglandin E1 combined with atorvastatin on related indicators in elderly patients with hypertensive nephropathy. METHODS:70 elderly patients with hypertensive nephropathy were randomly divided into control group and observation group. Control group was orally given 10 mg Atorvastatin calcium tablet,once a day;observation group was additionally given 10 μg Prostaglandin E1 injection,adding into 250 ml 0.9% Sodium chloride injection by intravenous infusion,once a day. The treatment course for both groups was 2 weeks. All patients were given quality low-protein,low-salt and low cholesterol diet,depressurization,lipid-lowering and other conventional treatment. Heart rate (HR),systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP),triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),serum creatinine(Scr),24h urinary protein(TP/24 h),microalbuminuria(mAlb),uri-nary β2-microglobulin (β2-MG),blood urea nitrogen (BUN) before and after treatment,and incidence of adverse reactions in 2 groups were observed. RESULTS:After treatment,HR,SBP,DBP,TG,TC and LDL-C in 2 groups were significantly lower than before,and difference was statistically significant(P<0.05),but there was no significant difference in the above-mentioned in-dicators between 2 groups and HDL-C before and after treatment(P>0.05);Scr,TP/24 h,mAlb,β2-MG and BUN were signifi-cantly lower than before,and observation group was lower than control group,the differences were statistically significant(P<0.05). And there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Based on the con-ventional treatment,prostaglandin E1 combined with atorvastatin can effectively improve the HR,blood pressure and blood lipid of elderly patients with hypertensive nephropathy;however,prostaglandin E1 combined with atorvastatin is better than atorvastatin alone in aspect of protecting renal function,with similar safety.

Objective To discuss the jointly therapeutic effects of 6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (voluven) and furosemide on acute lung injury induced by paraquat (PQ) in swine.Methods The ALI/ ARDS models were established with 20％ PQ (20 mL) intraperitoneal injection in 18 healthy female piglets and randomly divided into three groups: voluven group (A), furosemide group (B) and voluven + furosemide group (C) (n =6 in each group).The heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), extravascular lung water index (ELWI), pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) and oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) among the three groups were carefully measured by PICCO (pulse indicator continuous cardiac output) before modeling (baseline), just aftermodeling (t0), and 2 h (t2), 4 h (t4), 6 h (t6) and 8 h (t8) after trearment.Needle biopsies of lung tissue were made before modeling and at t0 and t8 and prepared for microscopy observation after Hematoxylineosin staining method (HE staning).Repeated measurement data were compared among repeated measures by the ANOVA and the difference between groups was compared by one-wey ANOVA.Results (1) The HR and MAP of all animals increased obviously while the oxygenation index declined significantly at modeling just made (t0) compared to those before modeling (all P ＜ 0.05).At the same time, the HR and MAP of A and B groups were significantly lower than those of C group after treatment (all P ＜ 0.05), while the oxygenation index of A and B were significantly higher (all P ＞ 0.05).(2) The ELWI and PVPI of all animals increased obviously at modeling just made (t0) compared to those before modeling (all P ＜ 0.05).The ELWI and PVPI were decreased after treatment.And at the same time, the ELWI and PVPI of A and B groups were significantly lower than those of C group after treatment (all P ＜ 0.05).(3) The alveolar tissue showed obviously injured changes at modeling just made (t0).The injury was relieved 8h after trearment, which was most markedly in group C.Conclusions With the combination of 6％ hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 and furosemide administered, the acute lung injury induced by paraquat poisoning can be effectively relieved, promoting gas exchange, and improve oxygenation.

Objective To investigate the effect of endoscopic prebiopsy forceps on the detection rate of polyps in the right semicolon.Method Clinical data of 148 patients diagnosed and treated from March 2022 to December 2022 who were detected as polyps in the right semicolon by general electronic colonoscopy were collected,and clinical data of the patients who underwent endoscopic prebiopsy forceps were re-examined and the patients underwent endoscopic treatment within 1 month.The differences in general data,polyp number detected,polyp size,morphology and pathological diagnosis between the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results 168 polyps were detected in the right semicolon in the general colonoscopy group,and 41 polyps were missed in reexamination using endoscopic prebiopsy forceps,with a missed diagnosis rate of 19.62%.The detection rate of<5 mm polyps was higher in the endoscopic prebiopsy forceps group than that of general colonoscopy group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The polyps in the two groups were mainly wide-basal type,and the pathological properties were mainly tubular adenoma,there was no statistical significance among all groups(P>0.05).No complications such as bleeding and perforation occurred in the two groups.Conclusion Endoscopic prebiopsy forceps can significantly improve the detection rate of polyps in the right semicolon,in particular,the intraoperative search for disappeared preoperatively identified intestinal polyps,as well as smaller diameter intestinal polyps,which is worthy of further clinical promotion.

OBJECTIVETo observe the best dose of methylprednisolone improving lung injury in swine with paraquat intoxication.

METHODSAcute lung injury (ALI/ARDS) model was made by an intraperitoneal injection of a large dose of 20%PQ solution20 millilitres in swine. Then 24 swine were randomly divided into 4 groups: exposed PQ control group, 5 mg/kg of methylprednisolone group, 15 mg/kg of methylprednisolone group, 30 mg/kg of methylprednisolone group. All groups were based on the conventional rehydration for intervention, Arterial blood samples were collected before modeling and 0, 12, 24, 36 hours after different processing for blood gas analysis. At the same time heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) were measured by using PICCO (pulse indicator continuous cardiac output), lung tissue was obtained by punctureneedle to produce lung biopsy, then observe the pathological changes of lung tissue in the microscope.

RESULTS1. Comparison between groups: there is no significant difference about extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) and semi-quantitative score of lung tissue pathology in four groups (P > 0.05) before modeling, so is t0, there is significant difference at about extravascular lung water index and semi-quantitative score of lung tissue pathology 12 h, 24 h and 36 h after different processing (P < 0.05). Within the group: EVLWI and semi-quantitative score of Lung tissue pathology in four groups significantly increased when the model was made (P < 0.05), after different processing, EVLWI and semi-quantitative score of Lung tissue pathology in exposed PQ control group kept going up, in other three groups, EVLWI and semi-quantitative score of lung tissue pathology went down first and then went up, there is significant difference compared with t0 (P < 0.05). 2. Comparison between groups: there is no significant difference about oxygenation index in four groups (P > 0.05) before modeling, so is t0, there is significant difference about oxygenation at 12 h, 24 h and 36 h after different processing (P < 0.05). Within the group: oxygenation index in four groups significantly decreased when the model was made (P < 0.05), after different processing, oxygenation index in exposed PQ control group kept going down, in other three groups, it showed a downward trend after the first rise, there is significant difference compared with t0 (P < 0.05). 3. After medication for 36h, correlation analysis showed that EVLWI were negatively associated with oxygenation index (r = -0.427, P = 0.022) and positively associated with semi-quantitative score of Lung tissue pathology (r = 0.903, P = 0.034).

CONCLUSIONMethylprednisolone can obviously relieve lung injury caused by paraquat poisoning and improve oxygenation. After the model was made, within 24 hours, 30 mg/kg of methylprednisolone have advantage for the PQ poisoning swine, but 15mg/kg of methylprednisolone is best for improving lung injury induced by paraquat intoxication within 24 hours to 36 hours.
