ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of different ways of fluid resuscitation on uncontrolled traumatic hemorrhagic shock. MethodsThe retrospective analysis of data from 220 casualties with uncontrolled hemorrhagic shock admitted from September 2006 to October 2010 was carried out.There were two ways of fluid resuscitation used to treat casualties with hemorrhagic shock,conventional fluid resuscitation (group A) and limited fluid resuscitation (group B).The systolic pressure was maintained at 90 ~ 135 mm Hg in the group A and at 70 ~ 90 mm Hg in the group B.The data of body temperature,central venous pressure,quantity of blood transfused,urine output,renal function,hemoglobin,blood osmotic pressure (Osm) ,MODS and DIC rates,treatment costs and mortality of two groups were statistically analyzed and compared. Results After analyses of above mentioned variables except renal function and comparison made between two groups,the method of limited fluid resuscitation was much superior over conventional fluid resuscitation (P < 0.05 ).There was no noticeable difference in rate of compromised renal function between two groups ( P > 0.05 ). Conclusions In the case of uncontrolled exsanguination,the method of limited fluid resuscitation can maintain blood perfusion of vital organs,reduce the blood loss and decrease the incidence of MODS and mortality.

Objective To explore the value of peak systolic displacement of mitral annulus in evaluating left ventricular systolic function by speckle tracking imaging(STI).Methods The study population consisted of 96 subjects. The apical four-chamber view and two-chamber view were obtained and the systolic displacements of mitral annulus were measured at lateral, spetum, anterior and inferior mitral annulus (MADlat, MADsep, MADant, MADinf).The systolic displacements of mitral annulus midpoint (MADmid) and its ratio to the length of left ventricle at end-diastole(MADmid%) were calculated.Left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was measured by three-dimensional echocardiography.The correlation of these displacements parameter with LVEF was analyzed.Results ① There was no significant difference among MADsep, MADlat, MADant, MADinf and MADmid(P>0.05).②There was significant correlation between LVEF and these parameters (P <0.01) ,and MADmid and MADmid% showed an excellent correlation with LVEF (r = 0.87 and 0.89 respectively, P<0.01).③The cut-off value of MADmid for LVEF>50% was 8.9 mm with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 80% while the cut off value of MADmid% for LVEF>50% was 10.9% with a sensitivity of 95% and a specificity of 85%.Conclusions Displacement of mitral annulus by STI showed an excellent correlation with LVEF, and it may be a new promising method for routine evaluation of left ventricular systolic function with its high feasibility, simplicity and accuracy.

This study is to investigate the effects of ubenimex on tumor cell invasion and apoptosis, dose relationship and mechanism. Immunofluorescence staining was performed to detect the expression of CD13 in HT-1080 cells. MTT assay was used to analyze the effect of ubenimex on cell proliferation. Annexin V-EGFP/PI was used to detect apoptotic cells by flow cytometry. Cell cycle was analyzed using flow cytometry. Ala-pNA was used as substrate to evaluate the effect of ubenimex on the aminopeptidase activity. Transwell assay was used to analyze the effect of ubenimex on cell invasion and migration ability. Western blotting was used to detect the expression level of CD13. MMP activity was analyzed using gelatin zymography. The results showed that ubenimex at high concentration inhibited the proliferation of HT-1080 cells (IC50: 3.8 mg x mL(-1)), and induced cell apoptosis. Cell cycle was blocked at G1 phase. Ubenimex at low concentration inhibited the aminopeptidase activity of HT-1080 cells (IC50: 8.3 microg x mL(-1)) and inhibited cell invasion, but it had no effects on the cell migration and proliferation. Ubenimex had no effects on CD13 expression and MMP activity. In conclusion, ubenimex at low concentration can inhibit the invasion ability of tumor cells by directly inhibiting the aminopeptidase activity; ubenimex at high concentration can inhibit the proliferation of tumor cells and induce cell apoptosis by a CD13-independent pathway.

Objective To observe the serum VEGF/ES ratios before and after operation and at clinical relapse in patients with breast cancer, and to discuss the potential effect of tumor surgery and postoperative relapse on the angiogenesis balance. Methods The serum VEGF and ES levels of 59 cases of breast cancer before and after operation and at clinical relapse were determined using competitive enzyme immunoassays and ELISA, (respectively), and compared with the results of 30 cases of benign breast tumors and 59 cases of normal (controls). Results (1) Preoperatively, the serum ES and VEGF levels of breast cancer patients were (significantly) elevated, as compared to the other 2 groups, and the VEGF/ES ratio was 9.1. Postoperatively, at 3 weeks, VEGF level decreased significantly and ES remained at a high level. The VEGF/ES ratio was (3.3). (2)At the time of clinical relapse, serum VEGF level was followed by marked elevation, and the VEGF/ES ratio increased up to 14.2. Multivariate analyses showed that the postoperative VEGF/ES ratio was an independent factor related to the postoperative recurrence of breast cancer. Conclusions Breast cancer surgery may affect the balance between serum VEGF and ES, and the determination of VEGF/ES ratio can have auxiliary value in the assessment of prognosis of breast cancer patients.
