Objective To explore the value of early arterial blood lactate clearance rate and central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO2 ) monitoring in patients with severe pneumonia .Methods A total of 56 patients with severe pneumonia treated during the period from January 2012 to December 2013 were reviewed retrospectively .The arterial blood lactate concentration and ScvO2 were determined immediately after admission to hospital and 6 hours after admission to calculate the 6‐hour lactate clearance rate .APACHE II score was evaluated at the same time .The patients were divided into three groups according to APACHE II score:10 to ＜20 (group A) ,20 to ＜30 (group B) ,≥30 (group C) .The three groups were compared in terms of early arterial blood lactate clearance rate and ScvO2 and estimate their association with the prognosis of patients .Results The initial arterial blood lactate concentration did not show significant difference between the three groups (P>0 .05) .The early lactate clearance rate and ScvO2 at 6 hours in group C were significantly lower than in group B .The values in group B were significantly lower than in group A (P＜0 .05) .The mortality rate in group C was significantly higher than in group B ,and the mortality rate in group B was significantly higher than in group A (P＜0 .05) .The APACHE II score of the dead patients was higher than that of the suevivors ,but early lactate clearance rate and ScvO2 level were lower than those of the survivors (P＜0 .05) .APACHE II score was negatively correlated to early lactate clearance rate (r=0 .661 ,P＜0 .01) and early ScvO2 level (r=0 .579 , P＜ 0 .01) .Conclusions Early lactate clearance rate and ScvO2 level are good indicators to reflect the severity of disease and predict the outcome in the patients with severe pneumonia .

Objective To study the relationship between apoE alleles and the occurrence of sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD) and to compare the alleles relating to the SAD and the vascular dementia (VD). Methods The polymorphism of apoE gene was detected using polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR RFLP) technique for 58 patients with SAD, 59 patients with VD and 60 normal controls. Results The frequencies of the ?4 and 3/4 genotype in SAD group(19 82% and 25 86%)were significantly higher than those in the controls(5 00% and 6 67%, ? 2=13 87, P 0 05). Conclusions The apoE ?4 allele is a genetic risk factor for the occurrence of SAD.

3), the intra-day RSD was less than 10% and the inter-day RSD was less than 12%. The average recovery stood at 86.96%. CONCLUSION: The established method is simple, rapid, precise and suitable for the determination and pharmacological study of faropenem in human plasma.

To explore the effective components represented by fingerprint contributed to allelopathic effect of different Salvia miltiorrhiza aqueous concentration on seeds and seedlings of radish, grey relational analysis was used to establish the chromatography-efficacy relation. The results show that 15 peaks devote high allelopathic contribution to radish seeds and seedlings. The study will provide a new concept for allelochemicals screening and study.

Aiming at local field potential, the present paper introduces a method of estimating lag of neuron activities between brain areas based on windowed Harmonic wavelet transform (WHWT). Firstly, the WHWT of signals of two brain areas are calculated. Secondly, the instantaneous amplitude of the signals is calculated and finally, these amplitudes are cross-correlated and the lag at which the cross-correlation peak occurs is determined as the lag of neurons activities. Comparing with amplitude cross-correlation based on Gabor wavelet transform (GWT) or Hilbert transform (HT), this method is more precise and efficient in estimating the directionality and lag.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Ningmitai capsule combined with Tolterodine in the treatment of overactiver bladder after transurethral resection of the prostate(TURP).Methods 63 TURP patients with bladder disease (OAB) in our hospital from October 2012 to October 2012 were selected and randomly divided into a treatment group (n=32) and a control group (n=31). From the date of operation, the control group was treated with tolterodine 2 mg, 2 times a day, while the treatment group was additional treated with Ningmitai capsule 4mg, 3 times a day based on the control group. All patients stopped to take medicine 5 days after catheter removal. The pain frequency and duration of bladder spasm after TURP in catheterization period and the urine volume per time, the number of urgent incontinence, and the number of urgent micturition average day in automatic micturition period were scored by OABSS.Results The number of bladder spasm in the first postoperative day(3.5 ± 0.5vs.4.4 ± 0.8,t=2.650), the second day(1.5 ± 0.9vs.1.8 ± 0.2,t=2.350) and the third day (0.4 ± 1.6vs. 1.1 ± 1.8,t=2.210) of the treatment group were all less than the control group (P>0.05). The 24 h average frequency of urination after catheter removal (6.2 ± 1.3vs. 9.4 ± 1.8,t=2.710), the average number of nocturia (1.5 ± 0.4vs. 3.9 ± 1.0,t=2.580), the average number of 24h urinary urgency (1.1 ± 0.3vs. 3.2 ± 0.8,t=2.660), the average number of incontinence in 24 h (0.5 ± 0.2vs. 2.4 ± 0.6,t=2.700) and OABSS total score  (4.6 ± 1.2vs. 6.9 ± 2.1,t=2.470) of the treatment group were all better than the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Ningmitai capsule combined with tolterodine in the treatment of overactiver bladder after TURP has significant clinical effect, helping patients recovery and improving quality of life.
