Sepsis is thought to be systemic inflammatory response syndrome that is activated by invasive infection and characterized by the involvement of inflammation,infection,immunological reaction,coagulation and tissue damage.The imbalance between the pro-and anti-inflammatory response mediated by immunologic disorder plays an important part in the progress of sepsis.Therefore,the immunological mechanisms and changes of Toll-like receptors,neutrophils,dendritic cells and regulatory T cells in sepsis are briefly focused on in the article.

Objective To investigate the effects of ventilation strategy of permissive hypercapnia on the expression of inflammatory mediators in the patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy. Methods Thirty-six patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy were randomly divided into two groups: control group and experiment group. The patients in control group received conventional ventilation strategy [partial pressure of carbon dioxide in endexpiratory gas (P<,ErCO2) 34.5-45.0 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),pH7.35-7.45], and patients in experiment group received ventilation strategy of permissive hypercapnia(PErCO2 49.5-60.0 mm Hg,pH7.20). Blood samples were collected respectively from the peripheral vein before anesthesia induction (T0), 1 h (T1), 3 h (T2) after operation and when operation finished (T3) for the assessment of interleukin(IL)-8, IL-6,tumor necrosis factor (TNF)- α. Results The levels of IL-8, IL-6, TNF-α at T2, T3 were higher in control group [(96.732±3.173) μg/L and (107.767±3.654) μg/L, (0.273±0.009 ) ng/L and (0.287±0.008) ng/L,(1.443±0.086)μg/L and (1.614±0.107) μg/L] than those in experiment group [(91.771±4.332) μ g/L and (97.682±4.998) μg/L, (0.231±0.008 ) ng/L and (0.241±0.006) ng/L,(1.268±0.066) μg/Land (1.428±0.058) μg/L](P<0.05 or <0.01), mean arterial pressure, partial pressure of oxygen in artery and heart rate were relative stabilization. Conclusions Ventilation strategy of permissive hypercapnia can reduce the released amount of inflammatory mediators and may be advantageous for the patients received laparoscopic radical gastrectomy.

Objective To study the angiographic anatomic characteristics of renal arteries in Chinese.Methods Selective renal angiography was performed immediately after coronary artery angiography in(1?057) Chinese patients,including 702 males and 355 females.The mean age of them were 59.3?8.3 years.Six French JR4 catheters were used via transfemoral approach.Three to five milliliters nonionic contrast media were injected manually into each renal artery and cine pictures were taken at an anterior-posterior view.Results A single-renal-artery was found in most of the patients(87.23% at the left side and 89.97% at the right side).In the others,two or even more independent renal arteries were found at one or both sides.Most of the renal arteries (87.79% at the left side and 91.20% at the right side) originated between the upper third of the first lumbar vertebra and the upper third of the second lumbar vertebra.The right renal artery ostium was located superior to the left one in 45.13% of the cases.In the other 45.41% of them,renal artery ostia of both sides were at a same level.Conclusion Anatomic variations in the number and origin of renal arteries are not nare in Chinese.Understanding the angiographic anatomic characteristics of renal artery would be useful for renal artery interventions.

Objective To explore the clinical and coronary angiography features of female patients suffering from premature coronary heart disease by analyzing retrospectively the clinical data of those women who undertook coronary angiography before 55 years old in a period of 5 years. Methods Female patients under 55 years were enrolled. Data such as risk factors (including hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, stroke, and metabolic syndrome), clinical findings (including blood pressure, serum lipid test on admission), and coronary angiographic images were collected to find the relationship between risk factors and coronary heart disease. Results The study had enrolled 166 cases with 71 cases (42.8%) of them diagnosed as coronary heart disease. In this group, the most important risk factors were diabetes, metabolic syndrome, history of hypertension, high level of serum TG and decreased HDL. At the same time, we found that the body mass index, LDLC level, TG level and blood glucose in CHD patients were significantly higher than those in non-CHD ones. Single vessel disease was the most popular pattern of these CHD patients. Conclusion History of diabetes, metabolic syndrome and hypertension were the most vital risk factors of CHD in this relative young female population.

Objective To evaluate the effect of high volume hemofiltration (HVHF) treatment on inflammatory cytokine clearance and hemodynamics in children with sepsis.Methods Thirty-four cases of septic children were randomly divided into two groups:the control group(17 cases) was administrated with the routine therapy,while the observation group(17 cases) was underwent with HVHF treatment on the basis of routine therapy.The inflammatory cytokines and hemodynamics were analyzed before and after the treatment.Results (1) Before treatment,the levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α in the control group and observation group were (103.6 ±26.1) ng/L and (106.6 ±31.6) ng/L,and the levels of interleukin(IL)-6 were (772.8 ± 92.4) ng/L and (761.3 ± 89.2) ng/L,respectively.The concentration of TNF-α and IL-6 were markedly reduced in both two groups after treatment (P ＜ 0.05),with TNF-α and IL-6 reducing to (85.6±23.7) ng/L,(63.6 ±26.4) ng/L and(109.7 ±38.5) ng/L,(78.1 ±24.7) ng/L,respectively.Most importantly,the reduction in the observation group were significantly higher than that in the control group(P ＜ 0.05).(2) Before treatment,no significant differences between the observation group and the control group were observed in hemodynamics,including mean arterial pressure,saturation oxygen,and heart rate(P ＞ 0.05),whereas after the treatment,mean arterial pressure and saturation oxygen in the observation group were significantly elevated compared with those of the control group [(100.4 ± 12.1) mmHg vs.(82.2±11.7) mmHg(l mmHg=0.133kPa),(94.2±5.3)％ vs.(91.4±3.2)％,P＜0.05],andheart rate in the observation group[(85.1 ± 17.3) times/min] was significantly lower than that of the control group [(98.7 ± 18.5) times/min] (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion HVHF treatment on septic children efficiently promotes the clearance of inflammatory cytokines and improves hemodynamic property,and thereby leads to protection of organ function and the better prognosis for septic children.

Objective　To study the effect on the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC) after transferring angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) type 2 receptor(AT2R) gene.Methods　The recombinant adenoviral vector AdcCMV-AT2R, containing rat AT2 receptor gene which was constracted by homologous recombination, was used to transfer AT2 receptor gene to rat VSMC in vitro. The expression of AT2R mRNA was detected by RT-PCR. The rate of expression and the change of cell cycle in VSMC were analysed by flow cytometry. Cell devision index, incorporation of bromodeoxyuridine(BrdU)and 3-(4,5-dimethyl-thiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenytetrazolium bromide(MTT) were used to determine the proliferation of VSMC, respectively.Results　RT-PCR showed that the expression of AT2R mRNA increased obviously in transferred VSMC, and the peak value of expression rate was about 89.51% at 48 hours. When the expression of AT2R was at peak value, the ratio of S and G2-M periods was reduced from 31.7% to 13.9%(P<0.05) and the index of cell division from 37.4% to 9.6%(P<0.01). The OD values of MTT and BrdU incorporation were reduced by 61.4% and 51.6% respectively(P<0.01).Conclusion　Our study indicates that AdCMV-AT2R can generate high level expression of AT2 receptor in cultured rat VSMC and its expression can significantly inhibit the proliferation of rats VSMC in vitro. It may be a new selection for the gene therapy of restenosis after angioplasty.
