Objective To evaluate the efficacy of isolated ultrafiltration (IUF) for patients with cardiac insufficiency after acut emyocardial infarction (AMI).Methods The acut emyocardial infarction patients admitted from August 2010 to August 2014 were recruited for study.After primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI),102 patients presented cardiac insufficiency taking the form of hypotension and acute left heart failure.All heart failure patients dealt with routine medications at first,and were then randomly (random number) divided into two groups,group A was routine medication group and group B was isolated ultrafiltration after routine medication group.Data recorded at different intervals in the same group were analyzed by ANOVA.Data recorded from two groups at the same intervals were analyzed by t test.Data of mortality in the two groups were analyzed by x2 test.P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results Of them,51 patients were treated with routine medication resulting in gradual improvement of cardiac function,but the improvement was slower compared with the isolated ultrafiltration group.Other 51 patients were treated with isolated ultrafiltration,and isolated ultrafiltration was discontinued in 2 patients owing to progressive thrombocytopenia and in another one patient owing to systolic blood pressure below 90 mmHg,with clinical manifestations of organ hypoperfusion,poor peripheral circulation,cool clammy skin and oliguria.In the rest of 48 patients in the isolated ultrafiltration group,vital signs were stable,and heart failure symptoms and serum electrolytes improved significantly (P ＜0.05).After one week of using isolated ultrafiltration,left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) also improved (P ＜ 0.05).The differences in mortality within one month,the mean ICU stay,the mean hospitalized stay,and the rate of recurrent heart failure were significant between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05)Conclusions The isolated ultrafiltration is a relatively safe and effective strategy for patients with cardiac insufficiency and hypotension after acut emyocardial infarction.

Objective To study the protective role of continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) in cardiac insufficiency refractory to diuretic therapy after acute myocardial infarction.Methods A total of 104 acute myocardial infarction patients admitted from march 2012 to march 2016 were recruited.According to their wishes,the patients were divided into two groups,continuous veno-venous hemofiltration combined with routine therapy as experimental group (n =52) and conventional treatment as control group (n =52).Mortality rate within one month,the mean length of ICU stay,the mean length of hospital stay,ventilator usage and urine output volume were documented.Then the difference in BW between pre-and post-treatment was determined for evaluation of fluid retention,and blood plasma C-reactive protein (ΔCRP),interleukin 6 (ΔIL-6),interleukin 8 (ΔIL-8),tumor necrosis factor-α (ΔTNF-α) and left ventricular ejection fraction (ΔLVEF) were measured and calculated.A multiple linear regression model to predict ΔLVEF was established.Data recorded at different intervals in the same group were analyzed by ANOVA.Data of the monitoring biomarkers,the mean length of ICU stay,the mean length of hospital stay of two groups were recorded at the same given intervals were analyzed by t test.Data of mortality rate within one month,drugs and ventilator usage in two groups were analyzed by x2 test.P value less than 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results There were significant differences in mortality rate within one month,the mean length of ICU stay,the mean length of hospital stay,and the duration of ventilator usage between the two groups (P ＜ 0.05).Total volume of fluid output (urine and ultrafiltration volume) was higher in experiment group than that in control group in 48 hours after the treatment (P ＜ 0.01).The levels of CRP,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α decreased significantly (P ＜ 0.05) in experiment group after treatment but not in control group (P ＞ 0.05) as compared with those before the treatment.BW was decreased and LVEF was increased in both groups after treatment (P ＜ 0.05) compared with those before the treatment.Levels of CRP,IL-6,IL-8 and TNF-α were lower in experiment group than those in control group after treatment (P ＜ 0.05).BW was meagerly lower and LVEF was meagerly higher in experiment group than those in control group without statistical significance (P ＞ 0.05).However,the degrees of ΔLVEF andΔBW were greater in experiment group than those in control group (P ＜ 0.01).In experiment group,significantly positive correlations were found among ΔBW,ΔCRP,ΔIL-6,ΔIL-8,ΔTNF-α and ΔLVEF (P ＜0.05).Multiple linear regression analyses showed that ΔBW and ΔTNF-α were the independent factors forΔLVEF and ΔBW was the main independent factor for ΔLVEF in control group.ΔLVEF was positively correlated with ΔBW (P＜0.01) but had no correlation with ΔCRP,ΔIL-6,ΔIL-8 and ΔTNF-α (P ＞0.05).Multiple 1inear regression analyses showed that only ΔBW was the independent factor for ΔLVEF.Conclusion CVVH plays protective role in acute myocardial infarction patients with consequent cardiac insufficiency refractory to diuretic therapy by clearance of inflammatory cytokines and removal of retained fluid,and the removal of retained fluid is the most import mechanism to protect heart function.

Objective To construct the eukaryotic expression vector coding HCV gene E2 fused with His-Tag, and to express fused protein in CHO cells for investigating the function of HCV envelope protein E2. Methods The gene encoding HCV envelope protein E2 was amplified from pBRTM/HCV1-3011, a plasmid containing the cDNA of HCV's ORF, by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) method and cloned into the vector pET28(a) containing His-Tag to obtain the fused HCV envelope protein E2 gene fused with His-Tag. The fused gene was cloned into pcDNA3.1 to construct the recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1-His-E2, which will express the E2 protein, fused with His tag. This recombinant plasmid was transfected into CHO cells by Lipofactamine 2000 reagent. The fused protein was identified by indirect immunofluorescence (IIF) and Western-blot (WB) methods. Result The positive results were obtained when the fused protein of HCV E2 with His-Tag were identified by IIF and WB methods. Conclusion The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3.1-His-E2 was constructed successfully and the fused proteins were expressed in cells.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the nutritional status of patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and its effects on conventional anti-tuberculosis treatment, so as to provide a basis for improving the efficacy of conventional treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. Methods The relevant data of 168 patients with pulmonary tuberculosis admitted to Suining Central Hospital from April 2020 to April 2022 were retrospectively analyzed. Nutritional status of the patients before treatment was investigated using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) score, and the influencing factors of nutritional status before treatment were analyzed. Therapeutic effects of anti-tuberculosis drugs in the non-nutritional risk group and the nutritional risk group were comparatively analyzed. Results Among the 168 patients, 64 were assessed as having good nutritional status before treatment, 59 had the risk of malnutrition and 45 were malnourished according to the MNA score. Univariate analysis and linear regression analysis showed that age, underlying diseases, and clinical symptoms were factors affecting the MNA score before treatment (t=3.173, 3.718, 2.018, P all<0.05); whereas gender and education level were not factors affecting MNA score before treatment (t=0.065, 0.059, P all>0.05). According to the MNA score before treatment, the patients were dividedinto a non-nutritional risk group (MNA score > 23.5) and a nutritional risk group (MNA score ≤23.5). The negative conversion rate of sputum bacteria, effective rate of focal absorption in the non-nutritional risk group were 92.19% (59/64)and90.63% (58/64) , respectively, which were significantly higher than corresponding 79.85% (82/104)and76.92% (80/104) in the nutritional risk group. The drug resistance rate, adverse reaction rate, and average treatment cost of the no nutritional risk group and nutritional risk group were 7.81% (5/64) and 21.15% (12/104), 15.63% (10/64) and 31.73% (33/104), (0.62±0.13) million yuan and (0.89±0.26) million yuan, respectively, with significant differences (χ2=5.228, 5.071, 7.685, 5.396, 7.728, P all<0.05). Conclusions Patients with pulmonary tuberculosis exhibit poor nutritional status before treatment. The patients’nutritional status is easily affected by age, underlying diseases, and clinical symptoms, thereby affecting the effect of anti-tuberculosis treatment. Therefore, early nutritional intervention for tuberculosis patients should be recommended in order to prevent malnutrition and enhance the effectiveness of anti-tuberculosis treatment.

Objective:To explore the expression of IL-22 in the patients with rheumatoid arthritis,and to define the clinical sig-nificance of IL-22 cells for RA. Methods: A total of 50 RA patients, 15 OA patients and 15 healthy controls were enrolled. The proportion of Th22 cells in peripheral blood and synovial fluid( SF) of RA patients was detected by flow cytometry;the levels of IL-22 in serum and synovial fluid of RA patients were detected by ELISA. The clinical parameters of disease activity were assessed including ESR,RF,CRP,DAS28,anti CCP and the degree of bone erosions determined by X-rays. Pearson correlation analysis,t test and Kruskal-Wallis H test were used for statistical analysis. Results:The proportion of Th22 cells in RA patients was higher than that of OA patients (t=2. 290 ,P=0. 021) and healthy controls(t=2. 524,P=0. 015). IL-22 levels in RA patients were higher than that of OA patients (t=2. 560,P=0. 014) and healthy controls(t=2. 768,P=0. 009). IL-22 in the RF positive group were higher than that of RF negative group(t=2. 322,P=0. 035). IL-22 in the anti-CCP antibody positive group were higher than that of anti-CCP antibody negative group (t=2. 504,P=0. 015). The levels of IL-22 were correlated positively with ESR,RF,DAS28(r=0. 312,0. 314,0. 332,P<0. 05). The levels of IL-22 were increased gradually along with the aggravation of bone erosions. There were statistical significant difference among different X-ray stagings(H=9. 14,χ20.05(3)=7. 81,H> χ20.05(3),P<0. 05). Serum IL-22 levels in the RA patients with joint effusion were higher than that of without(t=2. 587,P=0. 012). The levels of IL-22 in SF were higher than that in serum(t=2. 668,P=0. 011),and had no correlation with the proportion of Th22 cells in SF. Conclusion: The expression of IL-22 in serum and joint effusion of RA patients increase. The level of IL-22 may be useful marker for assessment of disease activity and finding of bone erosions. Therapeutic targeting of IL-22 may be valuable for the intervention of RA.
