A model of traum a shook was established in rats by comminutedly fracturing of the right femur and bleeding of 15% of the body weight.In the 1st hour after injury,the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) of the heart and the lungs increased,the activity of sv.peroxide dismutase (SOD) in the lungs decreased,and the MDA content and SOD activity in hepatic mitochondria increased synchronously.In the 3rd hour after injury,the MDA content increased not only in the heart,the lungs and hepatic mitochondria but also in the liver and the kidneys,and the SOD activity increased in the heart,the kidneys and the intestinal tract but decreased in hepatic mitochondria.There were further marked elevation of MDA content and progressive inhibition on SOD activity in the 5 vital organs and hepatic mitochondria in the 5th hour after injury.When shock continued to progress,the plasma MDA content increased gradually,the SOD activity of the hemolytic blood decreased,and the activities of plasma acid phosphatase and ?-glucuronidase,the indicators of lysosome destruction,increased markedly.These findings suggest that the oxygen-derived free radicals are responsible for the damages to cells of the vital organs and subcellular organelles during traumatic shock.

Objective:To investigate the effect of the extract of Schisandra chinensis on the matrix metalloproteinases(MMPs) system in kidney tissue of the diabetic rats,and to explore its protective effect on the kidney tissue from the matrix degradation perspective.Methods:STZ was used to establish rat models of diabetes mellitus.A total of 45 diabetic rats were randomly divided into model group,extract of Schisandra chinensis group and Benazepril group,and there were 15 rats in each group.Another 15 rats were selected and used as normal control group.12 weeks after administration,the routine blood and urine biochemical indexes,the histological changes,blood glucose (BG),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),serum creatinine(Scr),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterin(LDL-C),total cholesterol(T-CHO),and triglyceride(TG) levels,excretion rates of albuminuria and proteinuria of the rats in various groups were detected;the expression amounts of fibronectin (FN),type Ⅳ collagen (Col Ⅳ),and matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) in kidney tissue of the rats were detected by immunohistochemical method;the activity of matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2) was detected by zymography.Results:Compared with model group,the glomeruli matrix accumulation of the rats in extract of Schisandra chinensis group was significantly improved,the excretion rate of albuminuria,LDL-C level and serum MDA level were decreased(P<0.05),the activities of CAT(P<0.01)and SOD(P<0.05)in kidney tissue were increased,and the level of MDA in kidney tissue was decreased(P<0.05).The immunohistochemistry results showed that compared with model group,the expression amounts of FN,Col Ⅳ,and TIMP-2 in kidney tissue of the rats in extract of Schisandra chinensis group were significantly decreased.The zymography results showed that compared with model group,the activity of MMP-2 in kidney tissue of the rats in extract of Schisandra chinensis group was significantly increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:Extract of Schisandra chinensis has protective effect on the kidney tissue of the diabetic rats induced by STZ,and the mechanism may be related to the inhibition of oxidative stress and the improvement of MMP-2 activity as well as the inhibition of TIMP-2 expression which could improve the matrix degradation.

Objective To explore the difference of the femoral head-neck ratio (FHNR) in patients with Cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and healthy adults and its impact on surgical strategy.Methods We measured the FHNR using method described by Doherty.468 healthy adults without hip symptoms acted as controls in the study,including 313 males and 155 females,with the mean age of 42.4years (range,17-82 years).There were 17 patients (24 hips) in the Cam-type FAI group.The maximum diameter of the femoral head and the minimum vertical diameter of femoral neck on both sides were measured by Digimizer software on the standard anteroposterior pelvis film.The ratio of femoral head to femoral neck was calculated and was compared.The surgery was performed in 7 cases (8 hips) with FAI.The Harris score and internal rotation angle was also compared.Results The FHNR of control group and Cam-type FAI group was 1.48±0.09(1.33-1.69) and 1.30±0.13 (1.01-1.46) separately (P＜0.01).The volume of osteophyte removed during operation was related with the FHNR.The average Harris score had improved from 63.4±8.2(52-76) preoperatively to 89.2±3.5(84-95) postoperatively.The average internal rotation angle had improved from 2.5°±2.7°(0°-5°) preoperatively to 12.5±3.8°(5°-15°) postoperatively.Conclusion FHNR measurement is useful for the diagnosis and surgical treatment of Cam-type FAI.

Objective To observe the dynamic distribution of the extravasated Evans Blue (EB) dye points (neurogenic inflammatory response) at the skin after acute gastric mucosal injury (AGMI) and its relation to the related regular acupoints in the locations in rats. Methods A total of 70 Wistar rats were randomized into normal control (n=10),normal saline (n=10),and AGMI (n=50) groups. The AGMI group was further divided into 5 h,2 d,3 d,4 d and 5 d subgroups with 10 rats in each. AGMI model was duplicated by intragastric perfusion of diluted hydrochloric acid (HCl,0.5 mol/L). Evans Blue Dye (50 mg/kg,50 mg/mL in 0.9% saline) was given to the rats before AGMI modeling. The plasma extravasated EB points at the skin of the whole body were observed after removal of the hair. Results The extravasated EB points presented a nerve-segmental distribution,with the proportion of the points in the location being 47.5% for "Geshu" (BL 17),58.82% for "Jizhong" (GV 6),88.23% for "Pishu" (BL 20),82.35% for "Weishu" (BL 21),17.64% for "Zhongwan" (CV 12),and 5.88% for "Shangwan" (CV 13),respectively. The plasma extravasation of EB seldom appeared in normal rats and only fewer points were found in rats accepted administration of 0.9% saline. Significant differences were found between model and normal control groups,and between model and normal saline groups in the numbers of the extravasated EB points (P

Objective:To explore the incidence and risk factors of preoperative deep vein thrombosis (DVT) of elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA).Methods:Data of 500 patients before TJA from March 2015 to August 2016 who underwent ultrasound surveillance were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into DVT group and non-DVT group according to results of ultrasound. Parameters including demographic data, basic medical history, and surgical information and laboratory indexes were collected. Risk factors were assessed via univariate, multivariate and logistic regression analysis.Results:Preoperative DVT was detected in 23 cases (4.6%, 23/500), all of which occurred in the intermuscular vein with no symptom, and among them there were 16 cases (5.6%, 16/285) before total knee arthroplasty and 7 cases (3.3%, 7/215) before total hip arthroplasty. Univariate analysis showed that age ( t=2.266, P=0.024), female patients ( χ2=4.028, P=0.045), history of hypertension ( χ2=7.907, P=0.005), D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml ( χ2=13.171, P < 0.001) were significantly higher than those in non-DVT group, and the differences were statistically significant. Multivariate analysis showed that D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml [ OR=6.655, 95% CI (1.929, 22.960), P=0.003] and history of hypertension [ OR=2.715, 95% CI (1.017, 7.250), P=0.046] were independent risk factors for preoperative DVT. Among them, the thrombus of 14 cases located in the operation side, 6 cases in non-operation side, and 3 cases in bilateral sides. Postoperative ultrasound showed that newly DVT occurred in 9 patients of whom 5 cases located in the contralateral muscular veins and 4 cases in the nearby muscular veins. After discharge, 22 patients (95.7%) with preoperative DVT were further evaluated by ultrasound. The average follow-up time was 3.0 months (range from 6 weeks to 9 months). The results showed that thrombus of 7 cases were completely dissolved, 13 cases were partially dissolved, and 2 cases remained unchanged. Thrombus extensions to proximal veins or symptomatic PE were not found. Conclusion:The incidence of preoperative DVT in patients with elective joint replacement was about 4.6%, among which D-dimer ≥0.5 μg/ml and history of hypertension were the risk factors for preoperative thrombosis.

The incidence rate of thyroid cancer and thyroid nodule in China are rising and surgical operation is the main treatment for thyroid nodule and thyroid carcinoma.It has been controversial whether thyroid surgery is suitable for day surgery.Perfect preoperative examination and anesthesia assessment,selection of an appropriate of patients and minimally invasive surgery,good postoperative analgesia and the prevention and treatment of postoperative nausea and vomiting,recognition and treatment of postoperative complications timely,postoperative follow-up,can ensure safety of patient with thyroid ambulatory surgery,and made the same medical quality as the surgery in hospital.Under certain criteria,thyroid ambulatory surgery is safety,high efficient,economy and time-efficient.It is a reasonable surgical management mode which can reduce days of hospitalization and hospitalization cost.But it still need further study on the inclusion and exclusion criteria of patients,anesthesia techniques and perioperative management.

Objective:To test whether the constructed intervention model of advance care planning (ACP) for patients with advanced cancer can be successfully implemented and the preliminary intervention effect, which provides reference for empirical research.Methods:32 cases of advanced cancer patients and 25 cases of their families at the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Zunyi Medical University, Zhuhai were selected. The patients were subdivided into the experimental group and the control group by random number table method. The control group received routine nursing, while the experimental group adopted the intervention model of "VIP for future care" on the basis of customary nursing. We measured the main outcome indicators: enrollment rate, consent rate, completion rate and loss of follow-up rate and secondary outcome indicators: decision-making certainty, end-of-life care preference and post-intervention satisfaction of patients and their families, within 1 week and 1 month after intervention.Results:The enrollment rate, consent rate and loss of follow-up rate were 74.6% (206/276), 36.9% (76/151)and 15.6% (5/32), respectively. After intervention, the completion rates of the experimental group and the control group were 16/16 and 15/16 within one week, and 14/16 and 13/16 within one month. All of the family members were conducted during the follow-up period. The intervention mode of "VIP for future care" had a statistically significant difference in decision-making certainty between the two groups of patients ( β=0.63, 95% CI 0.08-1.18, P<0.05), no statistically significant difference in end-of-life care preference between the two groups of patients and their families ( P>0.05), and had a statistically significant difference in "whether to recommend this project to others" between the two groups ( χ2 value was 4.167 , P<0.05). Conclusions:On the premise of sufficient preparation, the "VIP for future care" intervention mode can be successfully implemented in advanced cancer patients in mainland China, can improve the decision-making certainty of patients and the satisfaction of patients and their families, and it is recommended. And should be applied to ACP intervention for patients with advanced cancer.

Objective:To investigate the value of 3D printing technology in sphenoid ridge meningioma dissection. Methods:By using craniocerebral spiral enhanced CT scan DICOM images, the skull, vessels, and tumor were extracted, reconstructed, and assembled and integrated in the same coordinate system. Then, we constructed a 3D virtual model and a 3D-printed entity model, which was ap-plied for preoperation and postoperation. Results:Virtual models of the brains of five patients were reconstructed successfully and 3D entity models were produced. The models expressed the relationship among tumors, adjacent blood vessels, and the important posi-tion of the nerve tissue. Then, the models were applied to the reference before surgery planning and after surgery. Five cases were successfully performed. Conclusion:The use of the entity model of sphenoid ridge meningioma is important in optimizing operation plans, improving tumor resection, and reducing intraoperative bleeding.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the levels and influencing factors of phthalate internal exposure in pregnant women (gestation age ≤ 16 weeks).

METHODSDuring April to June in 2013, 1 020 pregnant women (gestation age ≤ 16 weeks) who had established the maternal care manual were recruited in maternal and child health hospital of Siming District, Xiamen city. Participators were asked to complete a questionnaire to obtain information on socio-demographic characteristics, lifestyle behaviors, and antenatal examination and to provide a urine sample. Finally, 998 pregnant women who provided a urine sample and completed the questionnaire were enrolled. Adopting systematic sampling method, 100 ones were selected randomly among 998 pregnant women. High performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandern mass was used to determine the concentration of five phthalate monoesters in each urine, including mono-n-methyl phthalate (MMP), mono-ethyl phthalate (MEP), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-ethylhexyl phthalate (MEHP). Based on the measurements and questionnaire data, multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze the association between the phthalate monoester levels and potential influential factors.

RESULTSThe detection rates of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP in 100 pregnant urine samples were 94%, 93%, 87%, 83%, 99%, respectively. And the urinary median uncorrected concentrations of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP in 100 urine samples were 20.56, 17.62, 10.15, 2.03, and 5.12 ng/ml, respectively. Specific gravity-corrected concentration were 20.81, 20.36, 12.88, 2.58, 5.00 ng/ml, respectively. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that: education degree was negatively associated with urinary concentration of MMP, MEP, MBP, MBzP and MEHP, OR (95% CI) were 0.495 (0.253-0.966), 0.380 (0.191-0.755), 0.379 (0.186-0.774), 0.401 (0.196-0.819), 0.373(0.183-0.762), respectively. Participants who had hair permed and dyed during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MBP and MBzP, OR (95% CI) were 12.867 (1.240-133.525), 15.982 (1.367-186.911), respectively; Participants who use cosmetics during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MEP and MBP, OR (95% CI) were 2.977 (1.012-8.757), 4.440 (1.485-13.272), respectively; plastic bottled water consumption was positively associated with urinary concentrations of MEP and MEHP, OR (95% CI) were 3.780 (1.417-10.083), 2.699 (1.039-7.010), respectively; annual household income was negatively associated with urinary concentration of MMP, OR (95% CI) was 0.597 (0.372-0.959); individuals who took medications during pregnancy had higher urinary level of MEHP than non-takers, OR (95% CI) was 4.853 (1.084-21.732).

CONCLUSIONPregnant women whose gestation age was less than 16 weeks are generally exposed to phthalate. Phthalate internal exposure levels are significantly associated with most measured factors and the influencing factors with different phthalates internal exposure levels are different.
