Objective To explore the effect of out-hospital health education on quality of life of heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods 60 cases of heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy were selected and divided into follow-up group and control group with 30 cases in each group. The follow-up group accepted out-hospital health education, while the control group only accepted conventional in-hospital health education. Then World Health Organization Quality Of Life-Brief (WHOQOF-BRIEF) was used to evaluate their quality of life 6 months after discharge. Results The score of WHOQOF-BRIEF was higher in the follow-up group than in the control group (P<0.05). The satisfactory degree of nurse-patient relationship was better in the follow-up group than in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Out-hospital health education can improve the quality of life of heart failure patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.

Objective To evaluate the role of clinical features,radiography and histopathology in differential diagnosis between chronic necrotizing pulmonary aspergillosis(CNPA)and aspergilloma.Methods Thirty-four patients including 8 cases of CNPA and 26 of aspergilloma comfirmed by operation and histopathology in First Affiliated Hospital,Zhejiang University were investigated retrospectively.The clinical manifestations,radiological and pathological findings of all the patients were analyzed and related references were reviewed. Results The age of onset was not significantly different between CNPA and aspergilloma.Obsolete pulmonary tuberculosis and lung abscess were predisposing factors of them.Productive cough was presented in all 8 cases of CNPA,haemoptvsis in 7,and 5 were presented with constitutional symptoms.The most common symptom of aspergilloma was haemoptysis, which was presented in 25 cases.The less common symptoms were cough and sputum,which was presented in 17 cases.Only two cases were presented with constitutional symptoms."Air crescent"sign at radiography was typical and suggestive of diagnosis in both CNPA and aspergilloma,but the wall of cavity in CNPA was thicker and irregular,infiltrates were often to be seen around the cavity.Histologically,CNPA and aspergilloma both showed septate fungal hyphae branching at an acute angle.CNPA was characterized with the presence of tissue invasion by aspergillus,tissue necrosis and granulomatous inflammation. Fungal hyphae ware only found in a preexistent cavity or ectatic bronchus without tissue invasion in aspergilloma.Conclusions Histopathology is gold standard of differential diagnosis of CNPA and aspergilloma. Meanwhile, clinical features and radiological findings appear to be valuable for the diagnosis.

Objective To observe the mitochondrion and nucleus ultrastructural damage and caspase-3 expression in hippocampal CA_3 neurons during kainic acid(KA) induced status epilepticus(SE) in rats.Methods SE was induced for 2 h with KA in adult male Wistar rats.3,12 and 24 h later the rats were killed and the hippocampal CA_3 subareas were taken out to make brain sections.The neuronal damage on the whole with light microscope and the ultrastructure of mitochondrion and nucleus with electron microscope.Caspase-3 expression of the same area was examined with immunohistochemical staining.Results 24 h after SE,by the light microscope examination,the KA group showed that the neurons put scattered disorder and nucleus shrink firmly.3 h after SE,electron microscope examination showed swelling cristae and ruptured membrane of mitochondria.The change of nucleus were significant margination of chromatin 24 h after SE.Compared to normal control group,the caspase-3 expression increased 12 h after SE,the average number of positive cell and the gray scale were obviously higher(all(P

Objective To observe the effects and mechanism of pretreatment in rats with prostaglandin E1 on liver after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation(HSR).Method In total,32 male SD rats were randomly(random number)divided into four groups(n=8):group A(sham group),group B(shock group),group C(HSR group)and group D(Lipo-PGEl+HSR).In group B,rats were sacrificed 90 min after shock,and in group C,rats were anesthetized and then subjected to hemorrhagic shock followed by resuscitation.In group D,rats were pretreated with Lipo-PGEI one hour before HSR.Liver function,NO and ET.1 were measured,and pathological changes of liver tissue in each group were observed,and the expres8ions of iNOS and ET.1 of liver tissue were measured by using immunohistochemistry 6 hours after HSR.Data were analyzed by analysis of variance,and P<0.05 was considered as significantly different in statitistics.Results The levels of liver iNOS and ET-I increased in HSR group compared with shock group [(O.225±0.080)vs.(0.082±0.021)and(0.292±0.047)vs.(0.082±0.035),P<0.05].Pretreatment with Lipo-PGEl markedly reduced the damage of Liver function,and lowered the levels of NO and ET-I.which were consistent with decrease in iNOS and ET-16 hours after HSR[(0.116±0.034)vs.(0.225±0.080)and(0.198±0.041)vs.(0.292±0.047),P<0.05].Conclusions Pretreatment with Lipo-PGEl could reduce liver injury after HSR.The mechanisms might be attributed to inhibiting iNOS and ET-1,regulating the balance of NO/ET-I.

BACKGROUND: Status epilepticus can result in neuronal injury.OBJECTIVE: To observe the mitochondrial ultrastructural damage and the changes of Fas, Bax and Caspase-3 expressions in hippocampal CA3 neurons of rats of different kindling, so as to provide theoretical evidence for the neuronal injury after epilepsy.DESIGN: A randomized c ntrol animal experiment.SETTINGS: Department of Neurology and Department of Anesthesiology,Qilu Hospital of Shandong University.MATERIALS: The experiments were carried out in the pathological laboratory of Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences between March and July2005. Totally 150 adult male SD rats of 260-300 g were provided by the experimental animal center of Shandong University (SCXK20030004), they were raised at room temperature and were free to the access of food and water.METHODS: The adult male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were divided into intraperitoneal injection of kainic acid group and caudal venous injection of kainic acid group respectively ac cording to the method of random number table, and the rats were administrated by kainic acid injected intraperitoneally (12 mg/kg) and via caudal vein (10 mg/kg) respectively. Each group was divided into 5 subgroups, which were 3, 6, 24, 48 and 72 hours after status epilepticus groups respectively. Twelve successfully induced rats were selected from each subgroup, hippocampi were removed at different time points after the termination of status epilepticus, 2 were used for examination under electron microscope, 5 for the reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) detection of Fas and Bax, and 5 for the immunohistochemical assay of Caspase-3. Another 12 rats were used as normal controls without any treatment. The materials were taken at24 hours after corresponding status epilepticus in the control group, and the specific distributions were the same as those in the subgroups. The mitochondrial structure was observed under electron microscope, the levels of Fas and Bax mRNA were detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR, and the expression of Caspase-3 protein was determined with the immunohistochemical assay.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Results of ultrathin section under transmission electron mcroscope; ② RT-PCR results; ③ Immunohistochemical results.RESULTS: Totally 132 rats were involved in the analysis of results. ①Mitochondrial structure under electron microscope: In the intraperitoneal injection group, the mitochondria swelled, and the neurons showed characters of apoptosis. In the caudal venous injection group, the mitochondria swelled, and accompanied by the membranous collapse, and the neurons manifested the necrosis. ② No expression of Fas and Bax was detected in the control group and caudal venous injection. In the intraperitoneal injection group, Fas expression appeared at 6 hours after status epilepticus, increased at 24 hours, reached the peak value at 48 hours, and lasted till 72 hours. ③ The Caspase-3 expressions began to increase 6 hours after status epilepticus in both the intraperitoneal injection group and caudal venous injection group(10.27±0.34, 15.21±0.34; P ＜ 0.001), and reached the peak values at 24 hours (25.36±0.47, 28.23±0.47; P ＜ 0.001); The higher expression of Caspase-3 lasted till 72 hours in the intraperitoneal injection group, but sharply decreased in the caudal venous injection group.CONCLUSION: Two different methods of administration result in different severity of mitochondrial damage and different expressions of Fas, Bax and Caspase-3, which further determines the molecular mechanisms of neuronal death.

Objective To systematically evaluate the effectiveness of intermittent nasogastric feeding on enteral nutrition of critical patients. Methods The relevant randomized controlled trials were searched in the Cochrane Library, PubMed, EMbase, Web of Science, JBI Library and the databases of China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), China Scientific Journal Database by VIP (VIP), Wanfang Database. The studies were selected according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria by two reviewers. Meta- analysis was conducted by using RevMan 5.2. Results Nine RCTs were included involving 558 patients. The results of meta- analysis showed that intermittent nasogastric feeding was greater than continuous pump feeding in the incidence of constipation, OR=0.32, 95%CI 0.14~0.71, P<0.05, the difference was significant. However, they were alike in the incidences of diarrhea, aspiration pneumonia, gastric residuals, vomiting, abdominal distension and effects of nutrition, there was no statistical difference (P>0.05). Conclusions Intermittent nasogastric feeding and continuous pump feeding did not affect the incidence of diarrhea, aspiration pneumonia, gastric residuals, vomiting, abdominal distension and the effects of nutrition. However, the incidence of constipation was significantly less in patients receiving intermittent nasogastric feeding.
