We studied the dynamic changes of pulmonary vascular permeability and lipo-peroxides(LPO) in scalded rats with full-thickness damage (40% of body surface). Both pulmonary vascular permeability and LPO in serum and lung homogenate increasd significantly two hours after scalding. Subsequently interstitial and alveolar edema were developed. Pulmonary vascular permeability was strongly correlated with lung LPO(r = 0.992). Serum CH50 was decreased to 56.8% one hour after scalding, and at the same time leukocyte count increased in the pulmonary interstitium and vasculature.The increases in pulmonary vascular permeability and LPO could be prevented with large doses of vitamine E and leukopenia.The results indicate that the lipoperoxidation of pulmonary vascular endothelial cells secondary to complement activation and pulmonary leukostasis is the major cause of increase jn pulmonary vascular permeability after scalding.

[Objective] To investigate the stability and function of atlantoaxial segment after atlas odontoid process artificial joint replacement.[Method]Ten fresh adult human head and neck specimens were chosen for biomechanical models.The range of motion(ROM),neutral zone(NZ)and stiffness under intact state,post-decompression,post-replacement surgery and post-fatigue were measured respectively.[Result]After decompression,ROM,NZ and stiffness in flexion,extension,right and left lateral bending,and right and left axial rotation increased significantly(P0.05)than that in intact state group.[Conclusion]Artificial atlantoaxial joint in this study has been proved to have biomechanical significance in morphology and dynamic.It has advantages of stable replacement,simple operation,less injury and low wear characteristics.It provides a new choice for the atlantoaxial fusion of anterior or posterior approach.

[Objective]To determine the initial stability and function of a new artificial joint in a cadaveric cervical spine model by comparing it with a conventional method. [Methods]Twelve fresh human cadaveric cervical spines(C0~3) were randomly divided into 2 groups: group 1,resection of the odontoid with artificial atlanto-odontoid joint(AAOJ),and group 2,resection of the odontoid with Magerl atlas and axis by transarticular screw fixation(Magerl).For each specimen,the intact and resection of the odontoid underwent a flexibility test firstly,followed by the instrumented construct.Rotational angles of the C0~3 segment were measured to study the immediate stability and function of resection of the odontoid and AAOJ,compared with the intact and resection of the odontoid and Magerl.[Results]Compared to the intact state,resection of the odontoid and AAOJ resulted in a significant decrease in the range of motion(ROM) and neutral zone(NZ) during flexion,extension,and lateral bending(P0.05).Compared to the intact state,resection of the odontoid and Magerl resulted in a significant decrease in the range of motion(ROM) and neutral zone(NZ) during all 6 degrees of freedom(P0.05).[Conclusion]A new type of artificial atlanto-odontoid joint has been designed for correcting atlantoaxial instability resulted from C1、2 anterior decompression procedures.It can restore,to a great extent,the C1、2 axial rotation that is lost during current stabilization procedures.

Objective To determine the prevalence of vulvovaginal candidiasis(VVC) in pregnant women,to test its antifungal susceptibility to miconazole,clotrimazole,fluconazole, itrocona- zole,and nystatin and to treat VVC with miconazole in pregnancy. Methods Vaginal swabs were collected from unselected pregnant women in prenatal clinic. The antifungal susceptibility of 131 strains of Candidas to miconazole,clotrimazole,fluconazole,itroconazole,and nystatin were detected by Neo-Sensitabs susceptibility testing. 66 cases of VVC were treated with 6 day-course of miconazole(400 mg/d). Results The prevalence of VVC in pregnant women was 12.7%(127/1000). 37.4%(374/1000) had previous VVC. 0.6%(6/1000)of women were recurrent VVC(RVVC),which occupied 4.7%(6/127) of VVC. C. albicans was the most frequently(87.1%) isolated pathogen followed by C. glabrata (9.9%) ,C. tropicalis(1.5%),and C. krsei(1.5%). The resistant rate of C. albicans to miconazole,clotrimazole,fluconazole,itroconazole,and nystatin was 10.5%、2.6%、 6.1%、 7.9%,and 0. All 13 strains of C. glabrata was susceptible to miconazole,nystatin and susceptible or susceptible-dependent-upon-dose (SDD) to clotrimazole,fluconazole,and itroconazole. The mycological cure rate of miconazole on day 7～14 and day 28～42 was 84.8%(56/66 cases) and 80.3% (53/66 cases). Conclusions VVC is very common in pregnancy. C. albicans is the predominant Candida species in VVC and has some resistance to miconazole,clotrimazole,fluconazole,itroconazole,and nystatin. Miconazole therapy is effective on VVC treatment in pregnant women. Non-effective treatment might be associated with Candidas resistance.

Objective To investigate the kinds of isolates and the causes of bloodsream infection.Methods A total of 4 459 blood samples were cultured by BacT/Alert 3D240. The isolates were identified by API system.Results 247 strains were isolated from 246 patients. The isolates included Gram-negative bacteria (66.0%), Gram-positive bacteria (30.4%) and fungi(3.6%). E. coli, Salmonella paratyphi A , Salmonella typhi and Staphylococcus sp. not-Staphy. aureus were the main pathogen. The causes of bloodstream infection resulted from non-surgical disease, surgical disease, and others were 82.5%, 4.1% and 13.4%, respectively. The major symptom of blood infection was fever, which was presented in 41.5% of positive blood culture cases. 77.6% of Salmonella sp. was isolated from the patients of the department of respiratory and the department of emergency. E. coli was mainly isolated from the patients of the department of nephrolgy, haemotology and surgical department. Staphycoccus sp.not-Staphy. aureus was mainly isolated from the patients of the department of respiratory and pediatrics. The positive blood culture rate in 12,24,36,48,72,96 h were 24.4%,74.0%,87.4%,93.1%,97.2%, and 99.2% respectively.The coincidence rate of positive blood culture detected under microscope and identified by API system was ~99.6%. Conclusion Automated blood culture systems were important apparatus for diagnosis of bloodstream infection.

Objective The absorbable haemostatic membrane was used to stop bleeding during posterior spinal surgery so as to investigate the therapeutic effect and the security of the absorbable haemostatic membrane. Methods Ninety-four patients were enrolled into the experimental group and the control group. In the experimental group , the decompression wound is handled by using the regular absorbable haemostatic membrane to stop bleeding. In the control group , the conventional surgical methods , such as coagulation , brain cotton and other methods were used to stop bleeding. After the operations , patients in two groups were given indwelling vacuum drainage tube. The post operation vacuum pipe drainage , the drainage tube removing time , the incidence of postoperative complications after removing drainage tubes , the reoperation number , vital signs after 24 hour (temperature, respiration, pulse, blood pressure), and laboratory tests (blood count, coagulation function parameters) were determined and compared between two groups. Results Both the vacuum drainage at 24 hours post operation and the total vacuum drainage post operation were significantly reduced in the experimental group(P < 0.05, respectively). No significant differences in the coagulation function parameters were found between both two groups. Conclusion The absorbable haemostatic membrane may be applicable for spinal surgery.

Objective To investigate epidemiological and clinical features of patients with clonorchiasis sinensis infection. Methods The epidemiological, clinical, laboratory and treatment data of clonorchiasis patients in Department of Infectious Diseases, Second Affiliated Hospital, Harbin Medical University from 2002 to 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. Results Sixty-eight point two percent patients had a history of eating raw freshwater fish and shrimp. Patients with occupations as cook, fish stock man, fishing man and fishmonger accounted for 22.6%. The transmission route was not clear in 9.1% of patients. The common clinical manifestations were abdominal pain (60.3%), fatigue (52.3%), diarrhea (33.0%), anorexia (69.3%), jaundice (23.9%), hepatomegaly (59.1%), splenomegaly (8.0%), dizziness (20.9%), fever (5.7%) and biliary colic (14.8%). Twenty-eight point four percent were asymptomatic. Other findings included liver dysfunction (70.4 %) and eosinophile granulocyteosis(69.3 %). Negative rate of stool egg of clonorchis sinensis after treatment with praziquantel or albendazole was 91.9% or 86.5%, respectively. There was no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2 = 0.561, P = 0.454). Conclusions Clinical manifestations of patients with clonorchiasis sinensis are complicated and often accompanied with liver dysfunction. Clonorchiasis sinensis is often misdiagnosed and should be paid much attention.

Objective To investigate the mid-term effect of SolitaireAB stent-assisted interventional embolization with spring coils for the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms. Methods During the period from May 2009 to April 2013, a total of 49 patients with intracranial wide-necked aneurysm (49 aneurysms in total) received SolitaireAB stent-assisted interventional embolization treatment at authors’ hospital. In 41 patients, a total of 41 aneurysms were detected, of which ruptured aneurysm with bleeding was confirmed in 26 and un-ruptured aneurysm in 15. These 41 patients were followed up for 12-48 months. Based on modified Rankin scoring and DSA, CTA or MRA manifestations, the clinical results were evaluated. Results After the embolization treatment, re-bleeding of the aneurysm occurred in 2 cases, cerebral infarction in 3 cases, occlusion of the parent artery in one case and death in one case; the occurrence rate of complications was 14.2%. DSA, MRA or CTA performed at 12 months after the embolization treatment, showed that 32 aneurysms (78.0%) were completely obstructed, which was obviously higher than that observed on DSA performed immediately after the embolization procedure (21 aneurysms, 42.9%), the difference was statistically significant (P=0.02);residue of aneurismal neck was seen in 7 cases (17.1%) and partial occlusion in 2 cases (4.9%), which were much better than those observed on DSA that was performed immediately after the embolization procedure. Twenty-four aneurysms (58.5%) remained stable, showing no any change, and recurrence of aneurysm was observed in 4 cases (9.7%). At the last follow-up exam, the modified Rankin scoring showed that 0 point was seen in 18 cases (43.9%), one point in 10 cases (24.4%), 2 points in 5 cases (12.2%), 3 points in 4 cases (9.8%), 4 points in 2 cases (4.85%) and 5 points in 2 cases (4.85%). The self-care rate for daily activities was 80.5%, the prognosis was good. Conclusion For the treatment of intracranial wide-necked aneurysms, SolitaireAB stent-assisted interventional embolization with spring coils is safe and effective. This technique can improve the embolization rate and reduce the procedure-related complications.
