Objective To investigate the accuracy of end-tidal carbon dioxide (PETCO2) in reflecting arterial carbon dioxide (PaCO2) during mechanical ventilation via laryngeal mask airway (LMA) in children. Methods Fifty-two ASA Ⅰ patients, aged 2-9 yr, weighing 10-30 kg, undergoing orthopaedic surgery under general anesthesia, were randomized into 2 groups (n = 26 each) : LMA group and endotracheal tube (ETT) group. After anesthesia was induced with fentanyl, propofol and succinycholine, LMA or ETT was inserted and the children were mechanically ventilated. After the hemodynamics was stable, arterial blood samples were obtained to detect PaCO2, and PETCO2 was recorded simultaneously. Results There was no significant difference in PaCO2 and PCT CO, between groups LMA and ETT ( P ＞ 0.05) . There was no significant difference between PaCO2 and PETCO2 in LMA group (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusion When mechanical ventilation is performed via LMA in children, PETCO2 can reliably reflect PaCO2 and guide the regulation of ventilatory parameters.

0.05). Conclusion Mb-MGM have good properties of drug-targeting and sustained drug releasing properties. Mb-MGM could be used for targeting spinal cord dorsal ganglia for nerve blocking after being injected into the subarachnoid space and under effect of magnet. The motor function is not affected.

Objective To explore the diagnostic and treatment value of serum B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels for the chronic heart failure and its correlation with cardiac function classification.Methods 155 patients with heart failure were selected as treatment group.According to cardiac function,grade Ⅱ in 48 cases,grade Ⅲ in 56 cases,grade Ⅳ in 51 cases.122 healthy people during the same period were selected as the control group.Retrospectively detected serum BNP levels of the subjects,and the BNP levels of the treatment group were detected before and after treatment,and its correlation with heart function was analyzed.Results The serum BNP level of the treatmentgroup was (738.67 ± 61.32) pg/mL,which was higher than (22.36 ± 21.89) pg/mL of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (t =19.38,P ＜ 0.05).The serum BNP level of the treatment group after treatment was (329.58 ± 90.74) pg/mL,which was lower than (738.67 ± 161.32) pg/mL of the control group,the difference was statistically significant(t =19.38,P ＜ 0.05).The serum BNP levels of grade Ⅱ,grade Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ patients after treatment compared with pre-treatment,the differences were statistically significant (t =13.65,15.18,17.39,all P ＜ 0.05),from pre-treatment to pro-treatment,the serum BNP levels were gradually increased with increased grade,the differences were statistically significant (t =10.61,21.33,11.06,16.40,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The serun BNP level of chronic heart failure patients significantly increases,and it increases with the increase of cardiac function classification,and shows correlation.As the objective indicators of chronic heart failure,it has better clinical diagnosis value and treatment and prognostic significance.

According to the investigation about the current ability of military hospitals to cope with bioterrorism , we suggest that military hospitals improve the capability for bioterrorism response based on the research above by satisfying mission requirements , combining peacetime with wartime , carrying out crisis management , classifying response and cooperating with local sectors .

Objective To explore the function of placental trophoblast cell apoptosis on the pathogenetic mechanism of pregnancy induced hypertension (PIH). Methods Apoptosis of trophoblast cells in 20 cases of PIH(PIH group) and in 10 cases of normal pregnancy (control group) were directly observed using the terminal-deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) method. Apoptosis gene expression patterns were screened with gene chip provided by Poxing Company, Shanghai. Standards for differently expressed genes were: (1) An absolute value of the natural logarithm of cy5(PIH group)/cy3(control group) greater than 0.69 with a difference of signal of cy5 2 times over that of cy3. (2) The signal value either cy3 or cy5 must be greater than 800. Results (1) TUNEL test showed that the number of trophoblast cells apoptosis per ten thousand ?m 2 was 1.584 in the PIH group and 0.032 in the control group with significant difference between the two groups (P

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the association between survival and expressions of epidermal growth factor receptor(EGFR) and protein kinase B(AKT) in gastric carcinoma specimens.

METHODSEGFR and AKT were detected by immunohistochemistry in 84 patients with gastric cancer and 15 controls. Association between their expressions and clinical characteristics as well as prognosis were analyzed.

RESULTSIn patients with gastric cancer,expression rates were significantly higher than those in 15 normal gastric tissues for EGFR(55.9% vs. 20%, P<0.05) and AKT(64.3% vs. 6.7%, P<0.01). Expression of EGFR was associated with late staging(P<0.01), while expression of AKT was associated with lymph node metastasis(P<0.01). Overall 5-year survival rate was significantly higher in patients with EGFR negative expression (49.0% vs. 22.0%, P<0.05). Overall 5-year survival rate was significantly higher in patients with AKT expression(45.7% vs. 30.2%, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONExpression of EGFR and AKT negative may be used to evaluate the degree of differentiation and prognosis in patients with gastric carcinoma.

Objective To explore the characteristics of illness attribution of outpatients with multiple somatic symptoms in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Methods It was a cross-sectional study conducted from March to October,2012. A total of 150 outpatients were recruited from the departments of Gastroenterology,Traditional Chinese Medicine and Psychological Medicine by convenience sampling. Somatic symptom scale of the Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-15) was used to screening each patient in the waiting list. With the cut-off value of 10,patients were divided into the somatic symptom positive (SOM+) group and somatic symptom negative (SOM-) group. Sociodemographic characteristics were compared between these two groups. All the subjects completed interviews including questions about illness attribution. All the answers of illness attribution were concluded into three major groups as physical factors,situational factors and psychological factors. Results The proportion of female was significantly higher in SOM+ group than in SOM-group (69.3% vs. 53.3%;χ=4.048,P=0.044). In SOM+ group,significantly more patients contributed their illness to psychological factors (64.0% vs. 45.0%;χ=5.273,P=0.022). There was no significantly difference between SOM+ group and SOM-group on the phenomenon of multiple illness attribution (41.0% vs. 32.0%;χ=1.407,P=0.236). However,in the Department of Gastroenterology,there were significantly more outpatients in SOM+ group with multiple illness attribution (60.0% vs. 32.0%;χ=3.945,P=0.047).Conclusions The outpatients in general hospital with multiple somatic symptoms are more likely to contribute their illness to psychological factors. The phenomenon of multiple illness attribution is common among patients. Clinicians should increase their awareness and knowledge of illness attribution,so as to provide better holistic health services.
