Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effects of bi-level positive airway pressure on acute left heart failure. Methods Thirty patients with acute left heart failure received combined conventional therapy and bilevel positive airway pressure, and were compared with 30 patients with acute left heart failure receiving traditional treatment as controls. The changes in the power of hydrogen, partial pressure of oxygen in artery, pulse oxygen saturation,partial pressure of carbondioxide in artery,buffuer excess,blood pressure,heart rate,and breathing frequency,and clinical symptom were compared between the two groups. Results Compared with control group,the blood pressure,heart rate, breathing frequency decreased significantly( P＜0. 05 ) ;pulse oxygen saturation increased significantly (P＜0. 05 ) ; the power of hydrogen, partial pressure of oxygen in artery, partial pressure of carbondioxide in artery, and buffuer excess were improved more significantly ( P＜0. 05 ) ; the marked response rate and the total effective rate increased significantly(P＜0. 05). Conclusion The combined conventional therapy and bi-level positive airway pressure has a good efficacy in the patients with acute left heart failure.

Objective: Our study described the body composition of 50 preschool children aged from 4 to 6 years old and evaluated their nutritional and developing status. Methods: Body composition was measured with dual energy X ray absorptiometry(DXA). Results: BMC, BMD, FTM, %BF, LTM of all children were (463.3?80.9)g、(0.69?0.04)g/cm 2、(3917.1?1281.6)g、(21.8?4.9)、(13391.4? 1823.8 )g respectively. The relationships between BMC and age and between LTM and age were positively correlated. BMD and LTM of the boys were significantly higher than those of the girls. On the contrary, FTM, %BF, F t/l and F t/a of the girls were obviously greater than those of the boys. Conclusion: DXA method may be used to evaluate the nutritional and developing status in preschool childran.

Objective To study microvascular density(MVD),DNA ploidy and immunophenotype in prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(PIN) as well as their relationship with its biological properties.Methods We studied paraffin-embedded specimens from 24 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH),23 cases of low-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(LGPIN),and 26 cases of prostatic carcinoma(PC) with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia(HGPIN).Image analysis was used to measure the DNA average ploidy and MVD,and after that the expressions of 34?El2,P63,P504s and CD34 were detected by immunohistochemistry SP.Results DNA ploidy and MVD in PIN were higher than those in BPH,but lower than in PC,and correlation was detected among different grades of PIN.MVD had a positive correlation with DNA aneuploidy in different grades of PIN(P

Descending nociceptive modulation from the supraspinal structures plays an important role in cancer-induced bone pain (CIBP). Rostral ventromedial medulla (RVM) is a critical component of descending nociceptive facilitation circuitry, but so far the mechanisms are poorly known. In this study, we investigated the role of RVM glial activation in the descending nociceptive facilitation circuitry in a CIBP rat model. CIBP rats showed significant activation of microglia and astrocytes, and also up-regulation of phosphorylated p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) and pro-inflammatory mediators released by glial cells (IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α and brain-derived neurotrophic factor) in the RVM. Stereotaxic microinjection of the glial inhibitors (minocycline and fluorocitrate) into CIBP rats' RVM could reverse the glial activation and significantly attenuate mechanical allodynia in a time-dependent manner. RVM microinjection of p38 MAPK inhibitor (SB203580) abolished the activation of microglia, reversed the associated up-regulation of pro-inflammatory mediators and significantly attenuated mechanical allodynia. Taken together, these results suggest that RVM glial activation is involved in the pathogenesis of CIBP. RVM microglial p38 MAPK signaling pathway is activated and leads to the release of downstream pro-inflammatory mediators, which contribute to the descending facilitation of CIBP.

Objective To explore the ultrasonography findings and pathological features of adrenal ganglioneuroma and to improve diagnostic level. Methods Ultrasonography appearance and clinical pathological data of 12 cases of primary adrenal ganglioneuroma were retrospectively analyzed. The location, shape, size, echo characteristics, with or without calcification, the color signal of blood flow and its neighboring structure relationship on ultrasound were analyzed. Re-sults In 12 cases, 9 cases were found in the right adrenal gland and 3 cases in the left. All the tumors were solitary and the diameter was between 1.8 and 12 cm. The tumors were round or oval, some irregular or"embedded" growth. E-chogenic focus were found in 5 cases which was pathologically confirmed calcification, 3 cases of tumor showed a small dot color flow signal, all tumors with clear boundaries around the surrounding tissue. Pathology of tumor was mainly composed of ganglion cells and Schwann cells. Conclusion Ultrasonography is of great value in the diagnosis of adrenal ganglioneuroma owing to some specific sonograms.

Objective: To investigate the serotype distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility pattern of Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae), Haemophilus influenzae (H. influenzae) and Moraxella catarrhalis (M. catarrhalis) isolates collected from nasopharyngeal swabs from Uygur children in Kashi. Methods: Nasopharyngeal swabs were collected from inpatient Uygur children aged from 1 month to 5 years with respiratory infections from the pediatric department, the First People's Hospital of Kashi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Antimicrobial susceptibilities of the isolates were determined with E-test and KB disk diffusion methods. The production of β-lactamase was detected for H. influenzae and M. catarrhalisisolates using nitrocefin disc method. Quellung test and latex agglutination test were adopted to identify serotypes of S. pneumoniae and H. influenzae isolates. Results: Forty-seven S. pneumoniae, 13 H. influenzae and 16 M. catarrhalis isolates were detected. All of the 47 S. pneumoniae isolates were sensitive to parenteral penicillin, amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, vancomycin and levofloxacin; the susceptibility rates to cefotaxime, imipenem and chloramphenicol were 94% (44/47), 89% (42/47), and 98% (46/47). The resistance rate to erythromycin was 74% (35/47). The most common serotype of S. pneumoniae was serotype 19A (10 strains, 21%). The coverage rate of 13-valent conjugate vaccine (PCV13) was 70% (33/47). None of the 13 H. influenzae isolates could be typed. They were highly susceptible to tested β-lactams antibiotics, except ampicillin. Only one H. influenzae isolate could produce β-lactamase, and two isolates were identified as β-lactamase-negative-ampicillin-resistant ones. The sixteen M. catarrhalis isolates were all positive in β-lactamase detection, but sensitive to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cephalosporins and meropenem. Conclusions In Kashi, Xinjiang Uygur Autonmous Region, S. pneumoniae isolates from Uygur children were highly sensitive to parenteral penicillin and other β-lactams antibiotics. H. influenzae isolates from Uygur children were highly susceptible to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, cephalosporins and ciprofloxacin. All M. catarrhalis isolates from Uygur children could produce β-lactamase, but were sensitive to the enzyme inhibitors and cephalosporins.
