BACKGROUND:Deep venous thrombosis is one of the common and fatal complications of total joint arthroplasty.For our clinical practice,we require duplex ultrasound and venography to evaluate the presence of deep venous thrombosis,but the diagnostic tools have several disadvantages.OBJECTIVE:To explore the appropriate and non-invasive biomarkers in the early diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis.METHODS:With the key words of Thrombosis,DVT,Biomarker,Total Joint Arthroplasty,D-dimer,Factor VIII,Thrombin Generation,Fibrin Monomer,P-selectin,Inflammatory Cytokines,Microparticles,Leukocyte Count,Genetic factors,MicroRNAs,a computer-based search was performed for articles published in PubMed database from January 1995 to March 2015.After the initial screening,the reserved articles were further detailed,summarized and concluded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Totaly 66 articles were colected.This brief review is used to analyze the mechanism of the biomarkers which are classified into three levels as folow: detection of blood coagulation,inflammation markers and molecular biology and genetics-based biomarkers.The review also showed a great need of economic and safer biomarkers for the clinic and provided the theoretical basis to diagnose and predict deep venous thrombosis in an early stage.

Objective To application of solution focused approach in the functional gastrointestinal disorders.Methods 64 hospitalized clients with functional gastrointestinal disorders were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 32 cases in each group.We applied the normal nursing intervention to the control group,while applied the solution focused approach to the observation group.The anxiety and depression score,score of coping way and gastrointestinal symptoms were evaluated using t test.Results The scores of anxiety and depression,coping way and gastrointestinal symptoms were better in the observation group than those in the control group.Conclusions Adoption of solution focused approach can relieve FGID sufferers'negative emotion,such as anxiety and depression,increase sufferers' coping capacity and symptoms,which demonstrate pivotal significance for rehabilitation of functional gastrointestinal disorders.

Objective: To investigate the effect of prenatal tobacco and alcohol exposure on stature and neural development of offspring. Methods: Female mice were exposed to tobacco smoke and alcohol drink from D6 of pregnancy to parturition. The early physical development, neurobehavioral and antioxidative functions were measured in offspring mice. Results: Compared with control, offspring subjected to prenatal exposure showed significant reduced body and organ weights as well as reduced gestational body weight gain. It also resulted in remarkable prolonged neonatal reflexes and reduced motive, coordinative and locomotor activities. Step-down and Y-maze tests revealed marked destroyed memory and learning ability. Futhermore, MDA in offspring brain cytosol and mitochondria increased significantly and the activities of SOD, GSH-Px, CAT and GST were decreased. Conclusion: Prenatal tobacco and alcohol exposures interfere with the early physical and neural development in mice, probably related to decreased antioxidative functions.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of warfarin combined with urokinase in the prevention of deep venous thrombosis after hip replacement. Methods 58 patients undergoing hip replacement in our hospital from October 2014 to October 2016 were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group, 29 cases in each group. The control group were treated with oral warfarin, the observation group was treated with warfarin combined with urokinase, two groups of patients were treated for 14d, the incidence of lower limb deep vein thrombosis, follow-up statistics of two groups of patients within three months after operation, the diameter and blood rheology changes before and after weeks of treatment of lower extremity. Results During the treatment and follow-up of 14d patients in the control group, the incidence of deep venous thrombosis was 20.67% significantly higher than the observation group 3.45% (P<0.05); after treatment, the two groups of patients with lower limb circumference difference was significantly reduced (P<0.05), and the patients in the observation group the thigh circumference, calf circumference difference was significantly less than the control group (P<0.05); after treatment, the two groups of patients with high blood viscosity, low blood viscosity, plasma viscosity and hematocrit were significantly lower than those before treatment (P<0.05), and the indicators of the observation group were significantly lower than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Warfarin combined with urokinase can effectively prevent the formation of deep vein thrombosis of lower extremity after hip replacement, improve the hypercoagulability of patients and reduce the circumference of the lower extremity, so it is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and treatment of mycoplasma pneumoniae infection complicated with allergic purpura.Methods 40 children with mycoplasma pneumoniae infection complicated with allergic purpura were selected.Clinical symptoms,disease treatment and outcome were analyzed retrospectively.Results 25 cases were abdominal type allergic purpura,9 cases were articulated joints allergic purpura,6 cases were kidney patients with allergic purpura.In addition,some patients showed upper or lower respiratory tract infections.All the patients received blood circulation improvement,anti-allergy and other conventional treatment,and on the basis of this,azithromycin,low-dose dexamethasone or gamma globulin was given.All 40 patients were cured,the average length of hospital stay was (18.6 ± 3.1) d.Conclusion Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection may trigger allergic purpura purpura-like rash,the clinical symptoms,some accompanied by lower respiratory infections,should give the conventional anti-mycoplasma pneumoniae infection treatment,and the treatment time should be sufficient to cure allergic purpura,shortening hospitalization time,has an important role in the prevention of recurrent disease.

AIM: To report a case of wet age-related macular degeneration (AMD) treat with multiple transpupillary themotherapy (TTT) and choroidal neovascularization (CNV) disappeared but retinal pigment epithelial(PRE) and choroidal atrophy occurred with a low vision at the end point.METHODS: Clinical data including fundus hotographs, fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), indocyanine angiography (ICGA) and optical coherence tomography(OCT) was reviewed.RESULTS: A 72-year-old man complained about blurred vision of his left eye and FFA revealed polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) in the macula. His left eye had stable vision of 0.1 for 6 years without any treatment of CNV. About 2 years later, his right eye presented a piece of CNV. During the period of 3 years, the lesion remained more (3×5 PD) and less (1×2PD) in size with remarkable exudates and bleeding, and 7 sessions of TTT were applied with 80-280mW, 2mm of spot, and 60 seconds exposure and with the interval of 3 months or more. The CNV lesion finally disappeared, but there left a white area in the macula and vision decreased from 0.3 to 0.04.CONCLUSION: Although CNV lesion can be eliminated by TTT, obvious atrophy of RPE cells and the choroids can happen and this may not be of help for patient vision. It suggests that the parameters of TTT will be lower than 120 mW/mm and limited less two sessions if applicable, especially for Asia people.

Objective To study the protective function of resveratrol on radiation-induced small intestine injury and lethal effect in mice.Methods Mice were randomly divided into three groups:irradiation (IR) control,IR only,and IR + resveratrol.15 mice each group were irradiated on abdomen with 7.2 Gy γ-rays for cell lethal assay and 8 mice each group were irradiated with 6.5 Gy for small intestine injury assay.For the IR + resveratrol group,the mouse was given resveratrol by intragastric administration 24 h before irradiation and then was fed with resveratrol daily for 5 days.The control and IR alone groups were fed with placebo.After 30 days of IR,mouse survival rate was detected.For small intestine injury experiments,24 h after IR,the mice were terminated and the small intestines were treated with HE and immunohistochemical staining.Results Compared with the irradiation group,resveratrol increased mouse survival by 33.3％,decreased apoptosis in intestinal crypt cells (t =17.35,P ＜ 0.05),and increased Ki67 expression (t =13.62,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Resveratrol could protect small intestine injury from ionizing irradiation.
