Objective: To compare the early and long-term outcomes between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in elder female patients.
Methods: A total of 763 female patients elder than 65 years of age received isolated CABG in our hospital from 1999-01 to 2008-12 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to operational method: On-pump group,n=331 and Off-pump group,n=432. The mortality at 30 days post-operation, in-hospital clinical indexes and long term mortality with MACCE as all cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and repeated revascularization were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Compared with On-pump group, the patients in Off-pump group had the elder age (P<0.01), with the higher rate of cerebral vascular accident (P=0.023); less family history of coronary artery disease (P=0.012), angina (P<0.001) and emergent operation (P=0.015), less venous distal anastomoses (P<0.001) ; while higher incomplete revascularization (P<0.001). Logistic regression model comparison indicated that Off-pump group had the lower mortality at 30 days post-operation (P=0.038), less application of blood products (P<0.001), lower rate of >24h mechanical ventilation (P<0.001), less renal failure (P=0.022), pulmonary complications (P<0.001) and re-exploration for bleeding (P=0.021). The morbidity of all post-operative complications were similar between 2 groups (P=0.110). Cox regression model comparison showed that long-term all cause mortality (P=0.477) and occurrence of MACCE (P=0.265) were similar between the two groups.
Conclusion: Off-pump CABG would reduce the mortality at 30 days post-operation, have less application of blood products, shorter post-operative mechanical ventilation, less early post-operative renal failure, pulmonary complications and re-exploration for bleeding. While it could not reduce the long-term mortality and MACCE occurrence.

Objective To investigate the interventional effect of multidimensional strategy to reduce the incidence of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia.Methods The patients who were admitted to the NICU department and received mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 48 hours from October 2012 to September 2014 were recruited. The control group received the experienced interventions from October 2012 to September 2013, neonates from October 2013 to September 2014 were recruited as the intervention group receiving multidimensional controlling strategy, including bundle care, education, pro-cess and outcome surveillance and feedback on the practices. The compliance of before-after implementation of interventions were quantitatively evaluated,and the rate of VAP was compared between the two groups.Results The compliance rate of hand hygiene and the qualiifed rate of sputum suction, oral care, drain condensation from ventilator circuit, semi-recumbent posi-tion, and preventing of stress-ulcers were increased 17.0%, 11.4%, 14.7%, 18.2%, 37.5% and 56.3% respectively after implemen-tation of multidimensional strategy, and had statistical difference (χ2=36.47-294.36,P<0.01). But the qualiifed rate of antibiotic use only was 66.1% in the post-VAP bundle phases, and showed no statistical difference before and after(P>0.05). The VAP rate was 41.7 cases per 1000 MV-days during control group and 19.7 cases per 1000 MV-days during intervention group, had statis-tical signiifcance (P<0.05). But the rate of ventilator application showed no statistical difference between two group (P>0.05). ConclusionThe multidimensional strategy can effectively prevent the incidence of VAP.

Objective To study the clinical value of Na+/I-symporter(NIS)expression on thyroid carcinoma diagnosis and 131I therapeutic effects prediction.Methods Thirty-one cases of thyroid carcinomas enrolled in this hospital from 1998 to 2006 were included.Using immunohistochemical method,NIS expression location,positive cell staining and expression intensity were observed,which was calculated by immunohistochemical scores(IHS)and NIS expression level was compared between primary and metastatic carcinoma.Results NIS was over-expressed on the basolateral membrane in positive control——Grave disease tissue,and showed no staining in negative control.NIS was expressed in cytoplasm in all 31 primary carcinomas,and IHS was over or equaled to 4 in 80.65% of them.Except for 2 no staining,NIS was expressed in cytoplasm in the rest 28 metastatic carcinomas.NIS expression was related to the pathological type of thyroid carcinoma,the strongest in PTC,then FTC,and the weakest in fvPTC.NIS expression in metastatic carcinoma was related to that in primary carcinoma.Conclusion NIS is over-expressed in cytoplasm in most thyroid carcinoma,and the iodide uptaking defect is mainly due to its wrong location.It has great potential to be applied in clinic by that it can help with the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid diseases,especially between FTA and FTC,and that it can help predict the therapeutic effects of 131I therapy following thyroid operation.

A study was made on the pharmacokinetic regularity of effective components salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid in Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (SMRR) and Chuanxiong Rhizoma(CR) in rats, so as to discuss the compatibility mechanism of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Rats were randomly divided into three groups and intravenously injected with 50 mg x kg(-1) salvianolic acid B for the single SMRR extracts group, 0.5 mg x kg(-1) ferulic acid for the single CR extracts group and 50 mg x kg(-1) salvianolic acid B + 0.5 mg x kg(-1) ferulic acid for the SMRR and CR combination group. The blood samples were collected at different time points and purified by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. With chloramphenicol as internal standard (IS), UPLC was adopted to determine concentrations of salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid. The pharmacokinetic parameters of salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid were calculated with WinNonlin 6.2 software and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 statistical software. The UPLC analysis method was adopted to determine salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid in rat plasma, including linear equation, stability, repeatability, precision and recovery. The established sample processing and analysis methods were stable and reliable, with significant differences in major pharmacokinetic parameters, e.g., area under the curve (AUC), mean residence time (MRT) and terminal half-life (t(1/2)). According to the experimental results, the combined application of SMRR and CR can significantly impact the pharmacokinetic process of their effective components in rats and promote the wide distribution, shorten the action time and prolong the in vivo action time of salvianolic acid B and increase the blood drug concentration and accelerate the clearance of ferulic acid in vivo.

Objective To examine the relationship between the concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 [25-(OH) D3] in the serum and the body mass,the severity of obesity,body mass index(BMI),blood lipid,and their predicting role in obesity children.Methods The study recruited 244 subjects,who see the doctor in Wuxi Maternal and Child Health Hospital,Childhood Nutrition Outpatient from Jul.2011 to Feb.2013.The intake dose of vitamin D each day was investigated,and weight,height,BMI,concentration of 25-(OH) D3 in serum,and microelement were also measured.In addition,lipid metabolism of 38 cases with obesity over 3 years old was determined.Results 1.The serum 25-(OH) D3 concentration of obese children was (68.31 ± 23.06) nmol/L.The concentration of 25-(OH) D3 was lowest in the group of obese children over 36 months of age[(55.03 ± 15.18) nmol/L].2.The concentration of 25-(OH) D3 in the group of obese and overweight children was far lower than that of the children in the normal group (F =4.739,P ＜0.05).3.The concentrations of 25-(OH) D3 in the severely obese children was significantly lower than that of the mild and moderate obesity children(F =9.711,P ＜ 0.05).4.There were significantly inverse associations of serum 25-(OH) D3 with weight,weight and height percentage,BMI (r =-0.365,-0.237,-0.175,all P ＜ 0.001).5.There were significantly inverse associations between the concentration of 25-(OH) D3 in serum with weight,triglyceride in obese children more than 3 years old (r =0.476,-0.324,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The decreasing level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 in the serum was associated with obesity.The cause of it might be the increase of the obese adipose tissue,vitamin D getting trapped in fat cells,and all these factors can lead to a less serum vitamin D levels.The vitamin D consumption of obese children is higher than that of normal children,and should supply more vitamin D to reach normal 25-(OH) D3 level.

Objective To control residual DNA by optimizing methodology during the production of rabies vaccine using Vero cells as a vector .Methods The antigen recovery rate was assessed by linked immunosorbent assay-sandwich technique while the residual DNA was detected by DNA probe hybridization method .Antigen recovery and removal of DNA were the main indexes for evaluateing ultrafiltration , the vital part of rabies vaccine production .Three key factors in ultrafiltration were assessed: selection of membrane packages , ultrafiltration pressure and the concentration ratio .Then protamine was used to pretreat ultrafiltrates .Based on the two indicators mentioned above , the effect of protamine pretreat-ment on the ultrafiltrate was evaluated .Results and Conclusion The optimum condition of ultrafiltration was obtained on the basis of the general antigen recovery rate , DNA removal rate and actual production .The primary parameters of ultrafil-tration were as follows:7.5 ×105 ultrafiltration membrane packages, 20 times concentrated, 15 psi ultrafiltration pressure. After pretreatment with protamine , ultrafiltration has proved to be a molecular sieve in intercepting DNA ,while protamine can tangle the fragmented DNA and form a larger molecular segment , which is believed to be more conducive to ultrafiltra-tion interception .
