Objective To explore the factors influencing the intra-laboratory turnaround time ( ILTAT) and establish a COX regression model.Methods Data of 5 weeks with a total of 904 cases from the samples of blood routine examinations from January 2014 to June 2014 in The Third Hospital of Xingtai were randomly collected.The records of the samples included test dates , times of arrival , times of test , sample statuses, time consumption, time duration, operators, project portfolios, delay, PLT counts, results of 30-minute treatment and test weeks.Based on SPSS 17.0, the above indicators were analyzed by COX single factor analysis and then COX mutiple-factor regression analysis.Results Within the prescribed time , 421 cases were sent taking up 46.6%of the total samples.The ratios of sent cases in 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 minutes are 10.4%, 24.7%, 46.6%, 58.7% and 82.1% respectively.The results of COX single factor analysis showed that times of arrival , sample statuses, times of examination, operators, project portfolios and delay had statistical significance for ILTAT ( P<0.05 ).The results of COX multiple-factor analysis indicated that right times of arrival had a positive impact in reducing the turnaround time of samples (Wald=40.446,P=0.000);non-office hours, project portfolios, physical check samples, and handovers were unfavorable factors to shorten ILTAT ( Wald =7.904,38.029,42.874,18.617, P =0.005,0.000, 0.000,0.000);Operator 5 was a favorable factor(Wald=11.039, P=0.001) and Operator 3 and Operator 10 were unfavorable factors ( Wald =6.432, 24.242, P =0.011, 0.000 ); no obvious discrepancy was observed for other operators (P>0.05).Conclusions Times of arrival, times of test, operators, project portfolios and delay were the independent risk factors leading to the delay in ILTAT.Other laboratories could determine the variable number of proportional hazards models based on their sample transport , test procedures and principal influence factors , and carry out quantitative evaluation on the factors in sample processing for improvement.Thus, significant decrease on ILTAT would be achieved.

Objective To investigate changes in NF ?B signal pathway in PAM stimulated by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in vitro , and to explore the molecular pathological mechanism of acute lung injury(ALI). Methods After PAM were stimulated by LPS, the changes in expression of IKK mRNA, activation of NF ?B, degradation of I?B, and secretion of TNF ? in PAM were measured at 0, 15min, 30min, 1h, 2h, and 4h by in situ hybridization, electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA), and enzyme linked immune absorbing analysis (ELISA), respectively. Results The expression of IKK ? mRNA was increased 15min after LPS stimulation and reached the peak at 30 min, then returned to the base line after 1 hour. The changes in I?B ? mRNA were opposite. The activity of NF ?B was increased 15min after LPS stimulation, peaking at 1 hours, and returned to the pre stimulation level after 2 hours. The content of TNF ? was increased initially at 30min, reached the peak at 1 hour, and gradually returned to the pre stimulation level in 2~4 hour. Conclusion The transduction pathway of activation of IKK ? degradation of I?B/activation of NF ?B/synthesization of TNF ? might play a critical role in the molecular pathological mechanism of LPS induced ALI.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab for stage 3 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Methods The study included 38eyes of 19 infants with stage 3 ROP (18 eyes of 9 infants in zone Ⅰ,20 eyes of 10 infants in zone Ⅱ ).All the patients were examined by indirect ophthalmoscope and photographed by wide-angle digital retinal imaging system (RetCam Ⅱ ). The fundus lesions in both eyes were the same. Patients received laser photocoagulation in one eye (laser group) and intravitreal injection of 0.03 ml bevacizumab (25 mg/ml) in the fellow eyes (bevacizumab group) during treatment.Follow-up ranged from 12 to 66 weeks,with an average of 33 weeks. The regression time of neovascular ridges and plus-diseases in two groups were compared.Results For 18 eyes with stage 3 ROP in zone Ⅰ,the regression time of neovascular ridges and plus-diseases were (2.25 ±0.46) and (2.11 ±0.60) weeks respectively in bevacizumab group,and both were (3.75 ± 1.75) weeks in laser group.The differences between those two groups were statistically significant (F=18.29,15.56;P<0.05).For 20 eyes with stage 3 ROP in zone Ⅱ,the regression time of neovascular ridges and plus-diseases were (3.1 ±1.72) and (2.1 ± 0.56) weeks respectively in bevacizumab group,and were (3.50± 1.90) and (2.50± 1.35) weeks respectively in laser group.The differences between those two groups were not statistically significant (F =0.38,2.62 ; P> 0.05).There were more fibrous membrane proliferations on the retinal surface in 8 eyes,including 6 eyes in laser group and 2 eyes in bevacizumab group. There was no treatment-related endophthalmitis,cataract,retinal tears and other complications during the follow-up.Conclusion The laser photocoagulation and intravitreal injection of bevacizumab were both safe and effective in treating stage 3 ROP.

Objective To investigate the prognostic factors of life and functional outcome of the first hemiparetic stroke patients. Methods One hundred and eighteen stroke subjects were registered prospectively. The Barthel index (BI) , Rankin scale (RS) , Mortricity index(MI) , Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) , Montgomery-Asberg depression scale (MADRS) and a scale of general state and risk factors were used to evaluate at the 48th hour, the 15th day and the 90th day after stroke. Results The patients' performance, as demonstrated by their scores with all the evaluation instruments, changed significantly at all the time points of evaluation after stroke (P <0.05). There was no significant difference between the performance at the 48th hour and the 15th day after stroke ( P > 0.05 ). But at the 90th day after stroke, the activity of daily living performance and the depression status recovered significantly (P < 0.01 ). Logistic regression analysis showed that, such factors as pneumonia, urinary incontinence within 48th hour and deep sensation disturbance might adversely influence patients' activity of daily living performance at the 90th day after stroke; the muscle strength of upper extremities at the 48th hour, and MMSE scores at the 15th day after stroke acted as the protective factors. Conclusions The stroke patients improved significantly with regard to their clinical and functional manifestations when evaluated 90 days after stroke onset. The main factors influencing the activity of daily living performance 90 days after stroke onset included deep sensation disturbance,pneumonia, urinary incontinence and muscles strength of upper extremities at 48th hour, and MMSE scores at the 15th days after onset.

Objective To retrospectively analyze adverse drug reaction ( ADR ) of Yuxingcao ( Houttuyniae Herba ) preparations, thus provide reference for post-market re-evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine injections. Methods The ADR from Chinese ADR spontaneous reporting system database from 2006 to 2008 were analyzed by descriptive statistic method. Results A total of 2 282 reports on ADR induced by Yuxingcao preparations were concluded in this study, and 98.07% ADR of the total cases ( 2 238 case ) were due to vein injection. The main ADR were anaphylactic reactions which injure multiple systems and organs.The most frequent symptoms were respiratory system damage, such as expiratory dyspnea (with the incidence rate of 27.25%).Skin and mucous membrane were the secondly susceptible (with the incidence rate of 21.35%).The ratio of serious ADR in the total case was 13.50% (308 case), rate of allergic shock was 8.37% (191 case), and 22 cases were dead. Conclusion By strengthening the ADR reporting and monitoring, the risk of traditional Chinese medicine injection could be controlled.Safety re-evaluation should be performed to overall enhance safety, effectiveness and quality control of these kinds of medicine.
