Objective To evaluate the myocardial protective effects of thoracic epidural anesthesia (TEA) with 0 5% ropivacaine during acute myocardial ischemia reperfusion Methods Eighteen healthy hybrid dogs were randomly divided into three groups: ropivacaine group (group Ⅰ), bupivacaine group (group Ⅱa) and normal saline group (group Ⅱb) Anesthesia was induced and maintained with intravenous anesthesia and ventilation was mechanically controlled Epidural catheter was placed at T 6 7 and 0 5% ropivacaine, 0 5% bupivacaine or normal saline 12ml was administered epidurally 15min after epidural administration of local anesthetics or normal saline, the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery was temporarilly occluded for 45min Blood samples were taken from right atrium and assayed for cardiac troponin T (cTnT) before epidural administration and 6h after reperfusion Myocardial tissues of left ventricular infarction area were examined by electron microscopy Results Plasma cTnT levels were comparable (P

OBJECTIVE To analyze the reason of hospital infection by meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) popular on the wound surface in burn wards at a hospital located in South China.The methods of prevention and control were discussed.METHODS The MRSA infections on the surface of a wound of patients in burn wards were reviewed and analyzed from Sep 20,2005 to Sep 30,2005.The occurred reasons,distributed characteristics and drug resistance were carried out on the analysis.RESULTS There were 6 cases of MRSA infection on the injured area,from them 4 with third-degree burn,and 2 with moderate burn.The patients were cured completely.There was no blood stream MRSA infection.Vancomycin was used to treat.The fulminant epidemic of MRSA infection in the injured area was related with environment pollution and cross infection caused by the imprecise aseptic operation.CONCLUSIONS The injured area of burn patient is infected by MRSA.which often has strong drug resistance,but the vancomycin is effective.The environment disinfection is important.Medical personnel's standardized aseptic operation should be strengthened.The reasonable use of antibiotics can avoid the cross infection.It is the important method to prevent and control the fulminant epidemic.

0.05).Conclusion Performing leukapheresis and plateletpheresis sequencially with a single Apheresis Kit is a safe,effective,practicable and economic method in the treatment of chronic myeloid leukemia with leukocytosis and thrombocytosis.It can drop the medical expanse markedly.

Objective To observe the chronic hepatotoxicity of the commonly used herbicide mixture in the mice. Methods Low doses herbicide mixture diluted in mice drinking water. The parameters related to hepatic function and ultrastructural changes of the hepatocytes were examined after 18 weeks and 24 weeks of treatment. Results No changes was observed in every parameter after 18 weeks of treatment compared with the control group. After 24-week of treatment, the electron microscope revealed the ultrastructural changes in the hepatocytes, rough endoplasmic reticulum showed dilatation, mitochondria showed matrix muddy with distortion and disappearance of inner crista and the serum transaminase were higher than those in the control group(P

Objective To observe the changes of specific proteins in serum of acute stage patients with SARS and its clinical application. Methods The acute stage patients with SARS group included 42 cases who had clinical symptoms less than five days. In normal group: 30 healthy adults were as controls. Tests for specific proteins were immunoglobin G ( IgG ) , immunoglobin A ( IgA) , immunoglobin M ( IgM) , complement C3( C3),complement C4(C4),C-reaction protein (CRP), al acid glycoprotein( a1-AG) , a1 antitrypsin(a1-AT) ,transferrin(TRF), ceruloplasmin( CER) in sera by Ratenephelometer. Results The level of CRP, a1-AG, a1-AT in sera of patients with SARS were higher than that in control group ( P 0. 05). Conclusion It suggested that specific proteins in serum of acute stage patients with SARS change in a particular way. There were some help for the diagnosis of the phlogistic degree of acute stage patients with SARS by detecting CRP, a1-AG and TRF simultaneously.

Purpose To evaluate the correlation between neovascularization in femoral artery plaque and cerebral infarction by using contrast enhanced ultrasound,and to assess the predictive value of femoral artery plaque stability in cerebral infarction and its clinical significance.Materials and Methods Sixty-two patients with femoral artery hypoechoic plaques were retrospectively studied.The patients were divided into cerebral infarction group and control group,and all of them underwent two-dimensional ultrasound and contrast enhanced ultrasound.The parameters such as the maximum thickness,the stenosis rate of cross-sectional area,the enhanced intensity (EI),the area under the curve (AUC) and the grading of the neovascularization in the plaque were detected and compared.Results The EI and AUC of the cerebral infarction group were higher than those of the control group,the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.05).Many grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ neovascularizations were found in cerebral infarction group,while the grade Ⅰ and Ⅱ neovascularizations were mostly in the control group,the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the maximum thickness and stenosis rate of cross-sectional area between the two groups (P＞0.05).The neovascularization grade,EI and AUC in the plaque were positively correlated with cerebral infarction (r=0.331,0.416 and 0.410,P＜0.05).Conclusion ① The chara-cteristics of femoral artery hypoechoic plaques in patients with cerebral infarction are rich of neovascularization and instable by using contrast-enhanced ultrasonic imaging.② The neovascularization of femoral artery hypoechoic plaque has positive correlation with cerebral infarction,which may provide a new method for clinical prediction and prevention of intracranial atherosclerosis.

Objective:To establish an HPLC method to determine the content of schaftoside in Jinshaniu Huashi tablets .Meth-ods:The separation was performed on an Agilent ZORBAX SB-C18 column(150 mm ×4.6 mm, 5 μm)with 0.2% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile as the mobile phase with gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 ml· min-1 .The detection wavelength was set at 272 nm, and the column temperature was set at 25 ℃.Results: The calibration curve of schaftoside had a good linearity within the range of 4.58-183.15 μg· ml-1(r=1.000 0).The average recovery was 99.65%with RSD of 1.09%(n=6).Conclusion:The established method is simple and accurate with high repeatability , which can be used for the content determination of schaftoside in Jinshaniu Hua-shi tablets .

AIM: To investigate the changes of the renal L-arginine /nitric oxide pathway and the relationship of L-arginine transport between kidney and erythrocytes in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). METHODS: Sixteen week old SHR, 16 week old SHR with captopril (CAP) treated for four weeks and 16 week old WKY rats were used in the experiment. L-arginine transport, NO synthase(NOS) activity, nitrite and cyclic GMP (cGMP) content were measured in renal tissue or erythrocytes. RESULTS: In the renal tissue, compared with that of WKY group, the Vmax of high-or low-affinity L-arginine transporter, NOS activity, NO - 2 and cGMP content of SHR group were significantly decreased ( P

Ensuring the safety of patients is the the duty of medical workers. Nursing safety is the key factor to reflect the quality of nursing service, which is closely related to patient safety. The effective communication between physicians and nurses is a powerful guarantee for the safety of patients. The positive effect of SBAR communication model in clinical communication has been validated in many aspects, which gradually becomes an important communication model. Now reviews the origin, connotation, characteristics and application status of SBAR communication model, then put forward the matters needing attention when using the model, in order to provide theoretical reference for clinical application.
