To analyze the reasons of injuries during surgical practices and explore the hazards and the corresponding preventive measures. The surgical interns don't receive enough training of injury prevention. They don't pay enough attention to the occupational prevention and are not skilled in operation, which causes high rate of sharp edged instrument injuries. Therefore, a perfect plan of education, training and treatment must be made to reduce the occupational injuries and blood sourced diseases.

Objective To study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARA). Methods Clinical data from 682 patients with SARS were retrospectively analyzed. Results The patients ranged from 13 to 76 years old, 387 male and 295 female. A total of 356 patients (52.2) had a history of close contact with diagnosed SARS patients, and 113 (25.1%) had been to hospital ever. The most common symptom was fever (99.3%), followed by cough (44.4%), shortness of breath (12.2% ), diarrhea (8.9%). 596 patients (87.4%) had normal or decreased white blood cell counts. Serum ALT and CPK levels were elevated in 112 patients (16.4%)and 17 patients (2.5%) respectively. Infiltrates on chest radiography were seen in all patients, with 69.8% involved both lungs. Six patients (0.9%) died of SARS. Conclusion SARS is infectious. Hospital is an important place where SARS transmits. Fever, cough and infiltrative changes on chest radiography are mainly symptoms and signs.

OBJECTIVETo observe the protective effect of Shenmai Injection (SMI) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by cardiac pulmonary bypass (CPB).

METHODSThirty patients, scheduled to receive cardiac valve replacement by CPB for the first time, were equally randomized into 2 groups, the treated group and the control group. Cardiac valve replacement was performed under extracorporeal circulation after general anaesthesia. SMI 0.6 mL/kg was given to the treated group by adding in 250 mL physiological saline for intravenous dripping at the time between intubation under anaesthesia and CPB, while 250 mL physiological saline was given to the control group alone. Blood-gas analysis was performed with blood withdrawal from the radial artery to record PaO2, PaCO2, fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2), by them the alveolar-arterial difference of partial oxygen pressure [P(A-a) DO2] was calculated, and the respiratory index (RI), the blood concentrations of soluble intercellular adhesion molelue-1 (sICAM-1), endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide (NO) were measured at various time points, i.e. before anesthesia induction, 0.5 h, 2 h, 6 h and 24 h after ending CPB.

RESULTSAll indices wer not significantly different between the two groups before operation (P > 0.05). After CPB, P(A-a) DO2 and RI were gradually elevated and reached the peak at 2 h after ending CPB, the increment in the treated group was lower than that in the control group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared with the P(A-a) DO2 before anesthesia induction, P (A-a) DO2 at 0.5-24 h was statistically different (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Compared with the RI before anesthesia induction, RI at 2-24 h was statistically different (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Blood concentrations of sICAM-1 gradually raised after CPB, and reached the peak at 2 h after ending CPB, showed a higher level at 0.5-6 h after ending CPB as compared with that before anesthesia induction (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Blood ET-1 showed a figure of increasing as sICAM did (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01), and with a lower degree at 0.5-2 h after ending CPB in the treated group (P < 0. 01). Blood NO obviously reduced after CPB, it was lower at 0.5-24 h after ending CPB than at that before anesthesia induction (P < 0.01), and the decrement was lesser in the treated group (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSMI can attenuate the acute lung injury after CPB by way of inhibiting vascular endothelial cell adhesion with inflammatory cells, antagonizing lipid peroxidation, and improving the ventilation and oxygenation function of lung.

Objective To explore the influence of tranexamic acid used in different modes in total hip arthroplasty (T HA ) blood loss by control experiment .Methods 60 patients accepted total hip arthroplasty from orthopaedics in our hospital were se‐lected between March 2010 to August 2013 ,among them femoral neck fracture were 47 cases and 13 cases were osteonecrosis .aged between 45‐82 years old ,and 62 in average .All gave unilateral total hip arthroplasty .All patients were divided into three groups ,A group(contradistinction group) ,B ,C group(experiment group) .each groups include 6 men and 14 women ,no revision surgery pa‐tients .For group A ,100 mL normal saline was dripped both in half on hour before surgery and 3 hours after surgery ;For group B , tranexamic acid diluted in 100 mL normal saline according to 10 mg/kg was dripped half on hour before surgery ,100 mL normal sa‐line was dripped 3 hour after surgery ;For group C ,tranexamic acid diluted in 100 mL normal saline according to 10 mg/kg was dripped both half on hour before surgery and 3 hour after surgery .Compute and record the visible blood cell loss and hidden blood loss ,the comparative analysis was conducted to discuss the effectiveness and safety of tranexamic acid used in the two methods .Re‐sults The visible blood cell loss in each group were (196 .20 ± 44 .45)mL ,(114 .84 ± 35 .21)mL and (104 .47 ± 30 .01)mL ;hidden blood loss in each group were:(614 .50 ± 98 .41)mL ,(425 .74 ± 70 .01)mL and (337 .12 ± 52 .23)mL .Conclusion In the unilateral total hip arthroplasty ,the use of tranexamic acid can significantly reduce a significant amount of visible and hidden blood loss .Com‐pared with tranexamic acid dripped just half one hour before surgery ,dripping tranexamic acid both half one hour before surgery and 3 hour after surgery reduced more hidden blood loss ,decreased transfusion requirement ,and this does not significantly increase the risk of deep venous thrombosis .

Objective To study the relationship between chromosomal abnormality and Y chromosome microdeletions and male infertility. Methods Lymphocytes were cultured from peripheral blood of 1975 male infertility patients and stained with Giemsa. The chromosomes were analyzed under microscope. Y chromosome specific sequence tags (STS) were selected, then the Y chromosome microdeletions in AZF regions were screened by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in azoospermia and oligozoospermia patients. Results There were 305 cases of detected chromosomal abnormalities (15.44%) in the 1975 cases. There were 101 cases (5.11 %) with autosome abnormalities which clinically manifested as oligozoospermia and teratospermia. There were 204 cases (10. 33%) of sexual chromosome abnormalities and the patients were mainly characterized with Klinefelter's syndrome. Y chromosome microdeletions were detected in 109 (14.97 %) of the 728 cases of azoospermia or oligozoospermia. The most common microdeletion of Y chromosome was AZFc (62.39%) and these patients were characterized with azoospermia and oligozoospermia. Five patients (4. 59%) who suffered Y chromosome microdeletion in AZFa region and AZFb region were characterized with azoospermia. Fifteen cases (13.76%) with microdeletion in AZFb region and AZFc region were mainly characterized with azoospermia. There were 6 cases (5. 50 % ) of microdeletion in AZFa, AZFb and AZFc regions,these patients were all characterized with azoospermia. Conclusions Both Chromosome abnormalities and Y chromosome microdeletions are important causes for male infertility.

The purpose of this study is to explore the feasibility of wheat germ agglutinin (WGA) modified liposome as a vehicle for ophthalmic administration. Liposome loaded with 5-carboxyfluorescein (FAM) was prepared by lipid film hydration method. WGA was thiolated and then conjugated to the surface of the liposome via polyethylene glycol linker to constitute the WGA-modified and FAM-loaded liposome (WGA-LS/FAM). The amount of thiol groups on each WGA molecule was determined, and the bioactivity of WGA was estimated after it was modified to the surface of liposome. The physical and chemical features of the WGA-modified liposome were characterized and the ocular bioadhesive performance was evaluated in rats. The result showed that each thiolated WGA molecule was conjugated with 1.32 thiol groups. WGA-LS/FAM had a mean size of (97.40 +/- 1.39) nm, with a polydispersity index of 0.23 +/- 0.01. The entrapment efficacy of FAM was about (2.95 +/- 0.21)%, and only 4% of FAM leaked out of the liposome in 24 h. Erythrocyte agglutination test indicated that after modification WGA preserved the binding activity to glycoprotein. The in vivo ocular elimination of WGA-LS/FAM fitted first-order kinetics, and the elimination rate was significantly slower than that of the unmodified liposome, demonstrating WGA-modified liposome is bioadhesive and suitable for ophthalmic administration.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expression of Ghrelin and high mobility group protein B1 (HMGB1) in the serum and the intestinal tissue of sepsis model rats, and to evaluate the effect of electro-acupuncture (EA) at Zusanli (ST36) on the expression of HMGB1 and Ghrelin.

METHODSForty-eight male Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, i.e., the sham-operation (sham), the cecal ligation and puncture group (CLP), the CLP + EA at Zusanli (ST36) group (EA), and the CLP + Ghrelin receptor blocking agent + EA group (GHSRA), 12 in each group. A sepsis rat model was prepared by CLP. The incision of the abdominal wall was immediately sutured along the ventral midline for rats in the Sham group. In the EA group EA at Zusanli (ST36) was performed 20 min after CLP surgery with the constant voltage (2 - 100 Hz, 2 mA) for 30 min. In the GHSRA group, Ghrelin receptor blocking agent, [D-Arg1, D-Phe5, D-Trp79, Leu11]-substance P (700 nmol/kg), was administered through intravenous injection immediately after CLP, and 20 min later, EA at Zusanli (ST36) was performed in the same way as for rats in the EA group. Blood samples were withdrawn 12 h after CLP. The serum levels of Ghrelin and HMGB1 were detected using ELISA. Ghrelin expressions and the number of Ghrelin immunopositive cell in the jejunum were determined by immunohistochemistry. HMGB1 contents of the jejunum tissue were detected by Western blotting.

RESULTSCompared with the Sham group, the number of serum immunopositive cells and the expression of HMGB1 in the jejunum tissue significantly increased and levels of Ghrelin and the expression rate of immunopositive cells significantly decreased in the CLP group (P < 0.05). Compared with the CLP group, the number of serum immunopositive cells and the expression of HMGB1 in the jejunum tissue significantly decreased, but levels of Ghrelin and the expression rate of immunopositive cells significantly increased in the EA group (P < 0.05). Compared with the EA group, the number of serum immunopositive cells and the expression of HMGB1 in the jejunum tissue significantly increased in the GHSRA group (P < 0.05), but there was no statistical difference in levels of Ghrelin between the two groups (P > 0.05). The serum level of HMGB1 was negatively correlated with Ghrelin in the Sham group, the CLP group, and the EA group (r = -0. 528, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONSEA at Zusanli (ST36) could inhibit the expression of HMGB1 in the jejunum of septic rats, and promote the expression of Ghrelin. The expression of HMGB1 was inhibited by Ghrelin receptor blocking agent, which suggested that the anti-inflammation of EA at Zusanli (ST36) might be associated with Ghrelin.

OBJECTIVE: To elucidate the correlation between CKLF-like marvel transmembrane domain containing member (CMTM5) gene and the risk of in-stent restenosis (ISR) with coronary artery disease (CAD) patients and to detect the effects and mechanisms of CMTM5-stimulated genes on human vascular endothelial cells (ECs) proliferation and migration. METHODS: A total of 124 hospitalized patients in Shijitan Hospital were enrolled in this study. All the CAD patients were detected with platelet reactivity and grouped into two groups according to platelet reactivity; ISR was conformed by coronary angiography; RT-PCR method was used to detect CMTM5 gene expression; The CMTM5 over expression, reduction and control EC lines were established; Cell count, MTT, Brdu and flow cytometry methods were used to detect the proliferation of ECs, scratch and transwell experiments to test the migration of ECs, Western blot was used to detect signal path expressions. RESULTS: CMTM5 gene expression in HAPR (High on aspirin platelet reactivity) group was 1.72 times compared with No-HAPR group, which was significantly higher than No-HAPR group. HAPR group ISR rate was 25.8% (8 cases), the incidence of No-HAPR ISR group was 9.7% (9 cases), and the results showed that in HAPR group, the incidence of ISR was significantly higher than that in No-HAPR group (P=0.04, OR=0.04, 95%CI=1.16－7.52), which showed that CMTM5 gene was significantly correlated with the risk of ISR. In HAPR group ISR rate was 25.8% (8 cases), the incidence of ISR in No-HAPR group was 9.7% (9 cases), and the results showed that the risk of ISR in HAPR group was significantly higher than that in No-HAPR group. All the results showed that CMTM5 was significantly correlated with the risk of ISR in CAD patients (P < 0.05). CMTM5 overexpression inhibited the proliferation and migration ability of ECs (P < 0.05), PI3K/Akt signaling pathways were involved in the role of regulation on ECs. CONCLUSION Our results revealed that CMTM5 gene was closely related with ISR, CMTM5 overexpression may repress ECs proliferation and migration through regulating PI3K-Akt signaling.
