ObjectiveTo explore changes of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP), bactericidal/permeability-increasing protein (BPI), soluble CD14 (sCD14) in blood of cirrhosis patients and their clinical significance.MethodsSerum samples of 45 cirrhosis patients were detected with chromogenic limulus amebocyte lysate assay for LPS and detected with ELISA for LBP, BPI and sCD14. While, serum samples of 15 normal subjects were used as controls.ResultsLevels of LPS, LBP, BPI and sCD14 in blood of cirrhosis patients with liver function being grade A, B and C were significantly higher than that in normal subjects. Also, those indexes fore mentioned were obviously higher in died cirrhosis patients than that in survived cirrhosis patients.Conclusion High levels of LBP, LPS and relative deficiency of BPI in cirrhosis patients accompanied with intestinal endotoxemia (IETM) may significantly increase the sensitivity of body to endotoxin.

ObjectiveTo explore the molecular mechanism of protective effects of recombinant human interleukin-11( rhIL-11) pretreatment on intestinal ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury of rats.MethodsThe I/R model of rat was produced by clampi ng the superior mesenteric artery for 1 hour, animals were divided randomly into the normal control group (A), I/R group (B), normal saline control group? and rhIL-11 pretreatment group (D). In group C and D, animals were administered w ith saline(0.25ml/rat/day)or rhIL-11 (600μg/kg/day) two days before the oper ation. Rats in different groups were sacrificed at 6 hours and 24 hours after re perfusion respectively. Intestinal apoptosis was detected by TUNEL staining, and the expression of bcl-2, caspase 3 and caspase 8 were determined by immunohist ochemistry. Meanwhile pathologic pictures were detected by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining.ResultsHE and TUNEL examinations showe d that in group D, the intestinal barrier was damaged obviously slighter than th at in the group B and group C, with decreased apoptosis cells, meanwhile, expres sion levels of caspase 3 and caspase 8 were lower, and bcl-2 was higher than th e group B and group C.Conclusions The protective e ffect of rhIL-11 pretreatment on rat intestinal I/R injury might be caused by t hat the expression of activities of caspase 3 and caspase 8 are inhibited and b cl-2 is activated.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of Escitalopram on panic disorder. Methods 40 patients were treated with Escitalopram. All patients were evaluated with Hamilton Anxiety Scale, Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and Adverse Drug Reactions Scale. Results All the patients released from panic since the second week after treatment, except one patient dropped because of side-effects. Other side-effects relieved during the course. Conclusion Escitalopram was effective and safe on panic disorder.

Objective To investigate the psychosocial factors in cancer patients with depression.Methods 81 cancer patients were surveyed with Hamilton Depression Scale(HAMD),Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ),Defense Style Questionnaire(DSQ),Social Support Rating Scale(SSRS),Life Events Scale(LES),Symptom Checklist 90(SCL-90).60 health persons as normal controls were surveyed with SCL-90,EPQ and DSQ.Results The score of HAMD was higher in cancer patients with more complication than that with less or no complication.There was significant difference in total score,somatization,obsessive-compulsive,anxiety,depression,other score of SCL-90 among groups of cancer patients with depression,caner patients without depression and normal controls,as well as the N factor of EPQ,negative life events and immature defense.Conclusion The severity of the complications,negative life events,personality,defense style may related with the occurring and persisting of the depression in cancer patients.

Objective To explore the effect of spironolactone on vascular remodeling of injuried rabbit artery. Methods 20 male New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. The rabbit models of iliac artery angioplasty were set up by BC. After injury, control group was fed with standard forage, and experimental group was fed with standard forage and spironolactone(20mg?kg~ -1?d~ -1). The rabbits were killed four weeks after injury. The injuried segments of iliac artery were removed, and processed for histological and morphological analysis by imumohistochemistry and TD 2000 analysis system of pathology image. Results AUIEM and AUEEM in the experimental group significantly increased as compared with the control group(P0.05). Conclusion Spironolactone could improve vascular remodeling after angioploasty of iliac artery in rabbits.

A model of vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation was estabolished by balloon angioplas-ty in rat's aorta. We found that treatment with batroxobin decreased plasma fibrinogen level after angio-plasty, and inhibited the increase in smooth muscle cell count of injured vascular wall and incorporation rate of H-TdR into vascular tissues effectively. The results suggest that batroxobin may have clinically prospective significance in prevention and therapy of angioplasty-induced restenosis.

To put forward spatial resolution detection requirements of 64-slice helical CT based on analyzing the present situation of CT spatial resolution detection. The requirements for spatial resolution in the existing industrial standards were analyzed, and some test data were used to prove the deficiency of the standards. Spatial resolu-tion detection requirements were proposed for 64-slice helical CT, and the factors affecting spatial resolution were ex-plored. The deficiencies in the original standards were eliminated. The proposed requirements may facilitate the spatial resolution detection of 64-slice CT, and thus can enhance image quality for clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the risk factors for hip fracture in elderly people in Ningbo,in order to provide the basis for prevention and treatment of hip fracture.Methods A case-control study were conducted in study on 450 cases of hip fracture patients aged over 60 years in Ningbo and 450 subjects of control as 1 ∶ 1 matched case control study.A univariate analysis of hip fracture was performed by x2 test.Risk factors for hip fracture were analyzed by logistic regression.Results Poor self-care ability (OR=5.05),light manual labor occupation (OR=4.10),history of cerebrovascular events (OR=2.59),smoking (OR=2.14) were the risk factors for hip fracture in elderly men,while poor self-care ability (OR=11.36),light manual labor occupation (OR=2.41),osteoporosis (OR=3.19),early menopause (OR=6.89),low body mass index (OR=5.05) were the risk factors for hip fracture in elderly women.The protective factors for hip fracture was milk uptake (OR=0.29) Conclusions Early interventions for hip fracture risk factors,and prevention and treatment of osteoporosis can help reduce the occurrence of hip fracture.
