Objective To investigate the effects of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH) with different fluids on blood rheology in patients with deep vein (femoral and iliac) thrombosis. Methods Thirty ASA I or II patients aged 40-64 yr who had developed deep vein thrombosis in 48 h and were scheduled for embolectomy were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 10 each) ; group I normal saline (NS) ; group II 6 % HES 200/0.5 ( HES) ; group IE gelofusine (GEL). AHH was performed with normal saline, 6% HES or gelofusine infusion at 20 ml·kg-1 ·h-1 for 40 min. MAP, HR and SpO2 were monitored. Blood loss, volume of blood transfusion and fluid infused and urine output during operation were recorded. Anesthesia was induced with fentanyl 3-5 fig/kg, etomidate 0.15-0.30 mg/kg, propofol 1-2 mg/kg and succinylcholine 1-2 mg/kg and maintained with 2% isoflurane and propofol infusion at 5-8 mg·kg-1·h-1 and intermittent iv boluses of vecuronium. The patients were mechanically ventilated (VT 8 ml/kg, RR 12 bpm). PaO2 and PaCO2 were maintained within normal range. Venous blood samples were obtained before and after AHH for measurement of hematocrit (Hct), whole blood viscocity (WBV) at low or high shear rates, plasma viscosity, RBC aggregation and RBC deformation. RBC aggregation index and RBC deformation index were calculated. Results MAP and HR were stable in all patients. The amount of blood transfusion and fluid infused was significantly less in group HES and GEL than in group NS. The WBV at low or high shear rates in group HES and GEL, Hct in all 3 groups and RBC aggregation index in group HES were significantly decreased after AHH, but the RBC deformation index was significantly increased in group HES. Conclusion Colloid is better than crystalloid and HES is better than gelofusine in improving intraoperative hypercoagulability and sluggish blood flow.

Abstract: Objective To investigate the expression of serum C-C chemokine 22 (CCL22) and its receptor C-C chemokine receptor 4 (CCR4) in patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), and its correlation with liver function indicators and disease progression. Methods A total of 96 patients with CHB who were treated in Neijiang Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital from October 2021 to November 2022 were recruited as the observation group, and divided into mild group (n=43), moderate group (n=36) and severe group (n=17) , according to the progress of the disease. In addition, 50 healthy people who underwent physical examination in the same hosiptal were selected as the control group. The levels of serum CCL22 mRNA, CCR4 mRNA and liver function indicators [alanine aminotrans-ferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), total bilirubin (TBIL) and albumin (ALB)] were measured. Pearson correlation analysis was performed to analyze the correlation between serum CCL22 and CCR4 levels and liver function indicators and disease severity, and logistic regression was applied to evaluate the factors affecting the progress of CHB patients. Results Compared with the control group, the levels of CCL22 mRNA, CCR4 mRNA, ALT, AST and TBIL in the observation group were obviously higher (P<0.05), the level of ALB was obviously lower (P<0.05); the expression levels of serum CCL22 mRNA, CCR4 mRNA, ALT, AST and TBIL in mild, moderate and severe groups increased in turn, while the expression level of ALB decreased in turn, with significant differences between groups (P<0.05); The levels of serum CCL22 mRNA and CCR4 mRNA were positively correlated with liver function indicators ALT, AST, TBIL levels, and negatively correlated with ALB level (P<0.05); Both CCL22 mRNA and CCR4 mRNA were positively correlated with the severity of the disease (r=0.646, 0.516, P<0.001); the expression levels of CCR4 mRNA, ALT, AST, TBIL and ALB were all factors affecting the development of CHB patients (P<0.05). Conclusions The expression of CCL22 and CCR4 in serum is closely related to liver function index and severity of CHB patients, which can provide reference for clinical evaluation and symptomatic treatment.

Objective To investigate the pathotypes,epidemiological characteristics and antimicrobial resistance of diarrheagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) in children with acute bacterial diarrhea in Shanghai.Methods A total of 2 071 outpatient children with probable acute bacterial diarrhea referred to the enteric clinic of Children's Hospital of Fudan University during June 2012 to June 2014 were enrolled in our study.The stool samples were processed for routine microbiologic and biochemistry tests to identify enteric bacteria,including enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC),enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC),enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (EIEC) and enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC).Kirby-Bauer method was used to identify the antibiotic sensitivity.Difference of means between groups was compared by chi-square test.Results Of 2 071 enrolled children,DEC were identified in 145 (7.0 ％)cases.148 strains were isolated with three of mix infection strains.All DEC isolates in this study included 106 (71.6％) EPEC,24 (16.2％) ETEC,16(10.8％) EIEC and 2(1.4％) EHEC.The median ages of diarrheal children with DEC infections were 14 months (range:3 months to 13 years) and 62.8％ of them were ＜2 years.Among 125 DEC isolates tested for antimicrobial susceptibility,the rates of resistance to ampicillin,trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole,cefotaxime,cefepime,gentamicin,ceftazidime,amoxicillinclavulanate,ciprofloxacin,and ofloxacin in a descending order were 55.2％,35.2％,28.0％,27.2％,23.2％,8.8％,5.6％,4.0％ and 4.0％,respectively.Resistance rates of EIEC to cefotaxime,cefepime and ceftazidime were 50.0％,43.8％ and 25.0％,respectively,which were higher than those of EPEC,ETEC and EHEC.Conclusion DEC is the important enteric bacteria that causes bacterial diarrhea in children in this study.

Objective To examine whether the minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) in atrial septal defect(ASD) closure yields better clinical outcome equivalent to those of more established procedures,such as median sternotomy,moreover,to provide our own clinical experience in ASD Closure.Methods From January 2012 to January 2013,100 ASD patients were treated,50 patients received traditional open heart surgery (OHS group),17 males and 33 females,aged(23.3 ± 7.5) years,weighted (47.5 ± 16.5) kg; 50 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS group),20 males and 30 females,(22.6 ± 8.2) years old and (49.6 ± 17.2) kg weight.Collected and analyzed the clinical date of intraoperation and postoperation.Results All patients survived after surgery without serious complications like death.Clinical date of both group(OHS group vs.VATS group)include:Total operating room time (121.3 ± 20.5) min vs.(105.3±17.5) min (P＜0.05); tracheal intubation time in ICU (210.0±36.5) min vs.(100.0 ±47.5) min(P＜0.05) ; volume of thoracic drainage after operation (350.3 ± 50.8) ml vs.(47.0 ± 10.9) ml (P ＜ 0.005) ; postoperative length of hospital stay (6.2 ± 1.7) days vs.(4.4 ± 1.5) days (P ＜ 0.005).Rate of return to work in 3 weeks of postoperation 0 vs.78.4％ (P ＜ 0.005).Conclusion Completed VATS in ASD closure is less invasive,accelerates recovery and maintains overall surgical efficacy,which brings good economic and social benefits.For the appropriate patients,and for the experienced and skilled surgeon,completed VATS is the best method of choice of ASD closure in our department.

ObjectiveTo investigate the mechanism and the protective effect of heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) on rat cardiomyocytes when ischemic preconditioning performed.MethodsCultured rat cardiomyocytes were divided into four groups: control group, ischemic group,ischemic preconditioning group and cyclohexamide group. Cell viabilities were analyzed by MTT. The apoptosis was evaluated with DNA ladder and flow cytometry Annexin V Flous staining. Western Blot was used to determine the expression of HSP27 and caspase-3 in cardiomyocytes.ResultsIschemic preconditioning could improve cell viability. The apoptosis ratio in ischemic preconditioning group was significantly less than that in ischemic group. These were accompanied by an increase in the expression of HSP27 and a decrease in caspase-3. The expression of the increased HSP27 and the protective effect induced by ischemic preconditioning were completely abolished by the presence of cycloheximide, a translation inhibitor.ConclusionThe expression of HSP27 induced by ischemic preconditioning plays an important role in protecting cardiomyocytes, and the mechanism is possibly related to the inhibition of cell apoptosis.
