Objective To investigate the reason for hidden hemorrhage of hip fracture in elder.Methods All of 94 elder patients,who were diagnosed with intertrochanteric fracture or femoral neck fracture and received treatment in our department from October,2013 to September,2015,were included in this study.The time between injuries to admission was less than 4 hours of the two groups of patients.And the patients whose hemoglobin was less than 100 g/L were removed when admission,in order to avoid the interference of primary anemia.All information,including height,weight,and the value of hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (Hct),were collected.Blood tests were performed immediately after admission,at daily morning preoperatively,and at the morning of the day of surgery.Preoperative blood loss (hidden hemorrhage) was recorded.With respect to blood loss of hidden hemorrhage,statistical analysis was performed at different times (immediate time after admission,and day 1,2,and 3 postoperatively)in the group of intertrochanteric fracture or in the group of femoral neck fracture,and subsequently performed between the two groups.Results The blood loss in the group of intertrochanteric fracture was 196.3 ml,310.1 ml and 418.3 ml in the 1st day,the 2nd day and the third day after admission.There was a significant difference among different time with respect to blood loss.The blood loss was 39.8 ml,65.7 ml and 82.9 ml in the 1st day,the 2nd day and the third day after admission in the group of femoral neck fracture.There was also a significant difference among different time with respect to blood loss.In experimental group,mean blood loss was 418.3 ml and mean Hb decreased by 23.7 g/L at day 3 postoperatively.In control group,mean blood loss was 82.9 ml and mean Hb decreased by 6.7 g/L at day 3 postoperatively.A significant difference was observed between the two groups.The blood loss in patients with intertrochanteric fracture was higher than that in patients with femoral neck fracture.Conclusion The blood loss was gradually increased in elder patients with intertrochanteric fracture over time.There was a significant difference in different time with respect to blood loss.Moreover,a significant difference was found in blood loss of hidden hemorrhage between intertrochanteric fracture and femoral neck fracture.

Objective To investigate the prognosis of the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) used for patients with acute myocardial infarction and to the risk factors. Methods 88 patients accepted IABP were analyzed retrospectively. Results In spite of overall survival rate (54.5%), under circumstances of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), survival rate could reached to 59.9%, with 31.6% and 72.5% in cardiogenic shock group and high-risk group respectively. The time of IABP application increased in drug group. Multivariate Logistic Regression Analysis demonstrated independent-predictor effects of C-reactive protein (CRP), pulmonary infection, renal dysfunction, and wall motion disorder. Moreover, type of coronary artery disease (CAD), renal function, ejection fraction and pre-IABP mean arterial blood pressure could influence the time of IABP application. Conclusion In view of safety, IABP could be used to provide circulatory support for patients with very high risk as well as with cardiogenic shock. Application of IABP could hardly improve in-hospital mortality, and the time of IABP-using could be influenced by many clinical factors, such as type of CAD, renal dysfunction, etc.

Objective To observe the effects of nAChR antagonistα-conotoxin Eb1.6 on ther-mal pain threshold and spinal IL-1βexpression levels and astrocytes activation in rats using L5 spinal nerve transaction (SNT)model.Methods Fifty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned into 5 groups with each group 10 rats:sham group,different doses of α-CTX Eb1.6 (0.1 5,1.5 and 1 5 nmol/kg)groups and the saline group after SNT.Saline solution or different doses of Eb1.6 were intraperitoneally injected seven days after the surgery when the model was stable and the treatment continued for seven days.Measured the TWLs of all groups of the rats 1,2,4,7,12 hours after the in-jection on 7 d and 13 d.The rats were sacrificed and L5 spinal cord tissues were collected immediately after the behavioral tests on 13 d.The expression of GFAP and IL-1βwere assessed by Western blot assay and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)separately.Results Groups E1,E2,E3 and C had shorter TWL before the injection on 7 d and 13 d than group N(P <0.05).The TWLs of the rats in groups E1,E2 and E3 of 1 h,2 h and 4 h after the injection on 7 d were significantly higher than that before the injection(P <0.05)with 2 h after the injection showed the most obvious change.The TWL of 1 h,2 h,4 h and 7 h after the injection of the rats in group E1,E2 and E3 and those of 12 h after the injection of the rats in group E2 and E3 on 13 d were significantly higher than that before the injection(P <0.05 )and also higher than TWL of the respective time points on 7 d(P < 0.05 ),also with 2 h after the injection showed the most obvious change.The TWLs of 2 h after the injection a-mong group E1,E2 and E3 showed significant differences both on 7 d and 13 d (P <0.05).Rats spi-nal IL-1βand GFAP expression levels of group E1,E2,E3 and C were significantly higher than those of group N(P <0.05).Rats spinal IL-1β and GFAP expression levels of groups E1,E2,E3 signifi-cantly decreased compared with group C(P <0.05).There were significant differences among the spi-nal IL-1βand GFAP expression levels of group E1,E2 and E3(P <0.05).Conclusion Eb1.6 dose-de-pendently reduced the thermal hyperalgesia induced by L5 spinal nerve transection.Repeated treat-ment of Eb1.6 could produce better analgesic effect,which might be partly attribute to the inhibition of spinal IL-βlevels and astrocytes activation.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the co-expression of CD105 and cyclin D1 and lymph node metastasis and prognosis of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma ( ESCC ). Methods Eighty cases of ESCC tissue were collected at The First People's Hospital of Nantong. The expression of CD105 and cyclin D1 of ESCC was detected by immunohistochemistry. The relationship between the co-expression of CD105 and cyclin D1 and lymph node metastasis and prognosis of ESCC was analysed. Eighty normal esophageal tissues were selected as controls. All data were analysed by t test, chi-square test, and Pearson correlation analysis. Survival was analysed by the Kaplan-Meier survival curve. Microvessel density (MVD) was used to indicate the expression of CD105 in the form of -x±s. Results The expression of CD105 in ESCC tissues was higher (36±8) than that in normal esophageal tissues ( 11±3) (t =25. 129, P＜0.05). The positive rate of cyclin D1 expression in ESCC tissues was 61% (49/80), which was significantly higher than 23% (18/80) in normal esophageal tissues ( x2 =4.972, P＜0.05). The MVD value of 44 patients was ≤36 (LCD105), and nine of them had lymph node metastasis. The MVD value of the remaining 36 patient was ＞ 36 ( HCD105 ), and 26 of them had lymph node metastasis. Twenty-eight patients with positive expression of cyclin D1 had lymph node metastasis, while seven patients with negative expression of cyclin D1 had lymph node metastasis. The results of Pearson correlation analysis revealed that a high expression of CD105 and a positive cyclin D1 expression were correlated with lymph node metastasis (x2 =21.562, 9.217, P＜0.05). The survival times of 28 patients with positive cyclin D1 and HCD105,21 patients with positive cyclin D1 and LCD105, eight patients with negative cyclin D1 and HCD105, and 23 patients with negative cyclin D1 and LCD105 were (31±6) months, (47±7) months, (51±9) months and (61±5) months, respectively, with a significant difference among the four groups (F = 11.76, P ＜ 0. 05 ).Conclusion Co-expression of CD105 and cyclin D1 may be used as a prognostic factor of ESCC.

Objective To investigate the role of purinergic 2X7 receptor (P2X7R) and its downstream target-NLRP3 inflammasome activation in the process of pancreatic fibrosis in a mouse model of chronic pancreatitis (CP). Methods Forty C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into normal control group, CP group, P2X7R antagonist oxidized ATP (OxATP) group and brilliant blue G (BBG) group. The chronic pancreatitis model was induced by repeated intraperitoneal injection of the cholecystokinin analogue caerulein with the dose of 50μg/kg for six weeks. Normal saline, OxATP (20μL, 300μmol/L) or BBG (20μL, 10μmol/L) were administered for CP group, OxATP group and BBG group for two weeks after the last caerulein injection. Then all mice were sacrificed and the histopathological changes of the pancreas, especially the fibrotic degrees were evaluated by HE stain, fibrosis score, Sirius red staining and α-SMA immunohistochemical stain. The pancreatic P2X7R, NLRP3 and Caspase-1 expressions were detected by immunohistochemistry respectively to compare the changes between the groups, and explore the role of P2X7R-NLRP3 signaling pathway in pancreatic fibrosis. Results Compared with the normal control group, the scores of pancreatic fibrosis and the expressions of P2X7R, NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in pancreas were significantly increased in CP model group (P<0.05). Compare to CP group, the pancreatic chronic inflammation and the fibrosis indices such as HE fibrosis score, Sirius red staining and α-SMA immunohistochemical stain were ameliorated obviously in OxATP and BBG groups (P<0.05). And expressions of P2X7R, NLRP3 and Caspase-1 in the pancreas were allreduced greatly in both OxATP and BBG groups (P<0.05). Conclusion P2X7R antagonist OxATP and BBG can significantly decrease pancreatic chronic inflammation and fibrosis in the mouse model of CP, which suggests that the blockade of P 2X7R-NLRP3 inflammasome signaling pathway may represent a novel therapeutic strategy for CP and its fibrotic process.

Objective To observe the distribution and possible mechanism of P2X7R in periaq-ueductal gray matter (PAG)in a rat model with chronic neuropathic pain in vivo.Methods The in-trathecal catheterization and sciatic nerve injury (SNI)were performed.All animals were randomly assigned into 3 groups with 26 rats in each,which was group Sham,control group (group C)and brilliant blue G (BBG)group (group BBG),respectively.Normal saline or BBG 10 μl were intrathe-cally injected after SNI and repeated for seven days.Paw-withdrawal mechanical thresholds (PWT) were measured on day 0,day 7,day 14,and day 21 after SNI.The rats were sacrificed and PAG tis-sues were collected on day 14 and day 21,separately.The distributions of P2X7R were observed by immunofluorescence.The protein contents of P2X7R and GFAP were assessed by Western blot assays.Results The P2X7R was expressed in PAG in rats.The PWTs of the control group showed a significant decrease during the 21-day period compared with the sham group.The P2X7R signals were predominantly expressed in astrocytes in PAG after SNI.Both P2X7R and GFAP expression remark-ably increased.Administration of BBG increased the PWTs,and inhibited the P2X7R and GFAP ex-pressions compared with those atthe same point of time of the control group.Conclusion These results indicated that P2X7R in PAG might participate in nociception modulation in the midbrain in chronic neuropathic pain.
