Objective To investigate the expression of CD14/CD16 by monocytes and the anti-inflammatory effects of hypertonic saline plus dextran (HSD) in adult blunt trauma patients in hemonhagic shock. Method A total of 30 adult patients were eligible for inclusion in the study if they sustained blunt trauma from March to October 2007 and had at least one recorded episode of hypotension (systolic blood pressure ≤ 90 mm Hg) with clear evidence of blood loss (external or internal including the thorax, abdomen or retroperitoneum). Patients were excluded if they refused to participate, were admitted ≥ 6 hours after injury, were pregnant, or had chronic disease. The enrolled patients were randomly divided in a double-blinded manner into an HSD group which was administered 7.5% Nad plus 6% dextran - 70, and a control group which was administered 0.9% NaCl. A single 250 ml dose of either HSD or NaO was immediately administered to the patients in each of the two groups while they were in the emergency room. The primary outcomes were to measure the changes in CD4/CD16 expression by monocytes and the levels of anti-inflammatory cytokines, including tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-lra and IL-10. Patient demographics, fluid requirements, organ dysfunction, infection and death were recorded. Results A total of 28 patients were enrolled with no significant differences in their clinical measurements. Hyperosmolarity was modest and transient. HSD altered the shock-induced monocyte redistribution pattern by reducing the drop in the "classic" CD14 ++ subset and remarkably affecting the expansion of the "pro-inflammatory" CD14+CD16+ subsets. In parallel, HSD significamly reduced pro-inflammatory TNF-α production while increasing anti-inflammatory IL-lra and IL-10 production. Conclusions This human trial demonstrates that HSD has anti-inflammatory and immunologic properties for trauma patients in hemorrhagic shock. HSD exerts profound immunomodulatory effects, promoting more balanced pro-/anti-inflammatory responses and reducing post-traumatic complications. Therefore, it could be useful in attenuating post-trauma multiorgan dysfunction (MOD).

Objective To explore the effect of Numb on tubular epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in rat proximal epithelial cells. Methods NRK52E cells were treated with different concentrations of recombinant human transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) (0, 1, 5, 10, 15, 20 μg/L) for 48 h or 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for different times (0, 24, 48, 72 h) in vitro. The expressions of E-cadherin, a-smooth muscle actin(α-SMA) and Numb in NRK 52E cells were detected by RT-PCR, Western blot and immunofluorescence staining. Meanwhile Numb siRNA oligo was transfected into NRK 52E cells with lipofectamine before TGF-β1 treatment, then Western blot was applied to detect the protein expression of E-cadherin, α-SMA and Numb in NRK52E cells. Results TGF-β1 could induce EMT in NRK52E cells in dose- and time-dependent manner. During the progress of TGF-β1-induced EMT, the protein expression of Numb in 5, 10, 15, 20 μg/L group was 1.33 folds (P=0.024), 1.39 folds (P=0.035), 1.45 folds (P=0.025), 1.51 folds (P=0.000) respectively as compared to 0 μg/L group. Likewise, the protein and mRNA expression of Numb in 24 h, 48 h, 72 h group was 1.48 folds (P=0.046) and 1.56 folds (P=0.012), 1.54 folds (P=0.011) and 1.82 folds (P=0.008), 1.79 folds (P=0.028) and 1.82 folds (P=0.002) respectively as compared to 0 h group. Moreover, large amount of Numb was accumulated in the cytoplasm. Down-regulation of Numb expression by siRNA transfection did not influence the basal expression of E-cadherin and α-SMA in NRK 52E cells, but attenuated the progression of EMT in NRK52E cells induced by TGF-β1. The up-regulation of α-SMA protein was reduced to 18.1% (P=0.004) while the down-regulation of E-cadherin protein was reversed to 2.19 folds (P=0.004). Conclusion Numb can promote EMT in rat proximal epithelial cells.

Methods CABG were performed on 395 consecutive cases from January 2002 to December 2012,including 299 male and 96 female with a mean age of 62. 3 years old. All the operation were performed under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB ) with moderate hypothermi-a. Left ventricular aneurysm plasty operation were performed in 18 patients. Results The mean number of grafts was 3. 2,the mean CPB time was 88 min( 62~170 min) ,aortic cross-clamping time was 68 min( 25~102 min) ,mean ventilation time was 18 h( 12~72 h) . There were 8 deaths with a mortality of 2. 0%. Six patients died of multiple organ failure,1 patients died of ventricular fibrillation after operation,1 patients died of acute myocardial infarction. Postoperative follow up was carried out on 280 cases,follow-up time was from 8 months to 11 years. Five of them died of unknow causes. The heart function of the rest was significantly improved. 195 patients were free of angina. 85 pa-tients’ s symptom got better. Conclusion CABG performed under cardiopulmonary bypass ( CPB ) with moderate hypothermia is safe and effective for the treatment of coronary artery disease.

Objective:To assess the efficacy and the safety of the radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) for the septal accessory pathway (AP) in children.Methods:From September 2013 to March 2019, 626 patients plan to underwent RFCA for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT) in Shanghai Children′s Medical Center Affiliated to Shanghai Jiaotong University School of Medicine.Among them, 74 consecutive patients with right or left septal APs were included in the study and their clinical and RFCA data were analyzed.Results:The age of these 74 children (45 males, 29 female) was (7.8±3.5) years, ranging from 10 months to 13 years.The body weight (BW) was (27.7±14.4) kg, with 3 patients BW<15 kg.A discordant ventricular wall motion (DVWM) was found in 5 patients, and the combined congenital heart diseases were discovered in 2 patients.A three dimensional mapping system was applied in 69 ablations, and 3 ablations were performed only with the fluoroscopy monitor of 5 cases.According to the AP location, the number of cases located in the anteroseptal, the midseptal, the mouth of coronary sinus, the left posteroseptal and the right posteroseptal, were 28, 18, 10, 10 and 8, respectively.The ablation operations were applied in 72 patients.The initial acute success reached in 67 (93.1%) patients.The ablation energy was (18.0±1.8) W, the fluoroscopy time during the ablations was (4.7±2.7) minutes, and the procedure duration was (151.5±58.6) minutes.One inadvertent complete atrioventricular block (AVB) was noted as the ablation-related complication.All 5 children with the pre-DVWM were recovered after ablations.During a follow-up of (23.8±10.8) months, 4 patients experienced the recurrence of preexcitation syndrome atrioventricular reentrant tachycardia.Conclusions:With the 3D-mapping system, the RFCA of septal APs can be performed safely and effectively in pediatric patients of paroxysmal supraventri-cular tachycardia.However, as the ablation-related complication, AVB should not be ignored.

Objective To analysis the human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)and human T lymphotropic virus(HTLV)infection status in Beijing among voluntary blood donors.Methods Randomly selected 2 010 blood samples from five districts and counties of Beijing City to screen HCMV-IgG,HCMV-IgM and HTLV-Ⅰ/Ⅱ antibody by ELISA method.The positive samples were reexamined two times,two test results of samples were positive that were determined positive by ELISA. HTLV positive samples was confirmed by nested PCR.Results The HCMV-IgM and HCMV-IgG positive rates of Beijing blood donors were 2.19% and 92.59%,screened 1 case of anti-HTLV positive by ELISA method,then confirmed to be neg-ative result by nested PCR.The statistics showed that the HCMV-IgG positive rate female blood donors was higher than male (P <0.05).The positive rates of HCMV-IgM and HCMV-IgG among18~25 years old donors was lowest (P <0.05). Positive rate of HCMV-IgG in college students was lower than other occupation blood donars (P <0.05)and education de-gree was independent of HCMV-IgG,HCMV-IgM positive rates (P >0.05).Conclusion In this investigation,2 010 cases of voluntary blood donors from five districts of Beijing were not found in cases of HTLV infection,HCMV infection was prevalent.

Objective To study the safety of transfusion of itraconazole through PICC and to evaluate the effect of different amount of blood transfusion before and after the infusion. Methods Patients were recruited from January 1, 2014, until December 31, 2015, in the Hematology hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ward. Thiry-two patients were recruited in the control group. Ninety patients wererecruited in the experience group. They were randomly assigned to three groups with 30 cases each, extracting different amounts of itraconazole before infusion, back phlebotomize in group A, B, C respectively was 10.0, 0.5, 1.0 ml. Comparing the phlebitis and obstruction after ten days from the transfusion day on. Results Catheter obstruction was not observed in any case. There was a significant difference between control group (21.9%,7/32) and observation group (0) regarding the incidence of phlebitis (χ2=21.157,P < 0.05). No statistical difference was noted among the observation groups regarding the incidence of phlebitis (P>0.05). Conclusions Drawing a small amount of blood volume before itraconazole injection through PICC can effectively avoid the drug-induced catheterobstruction. What′s more, transfusion through PICC can significantly reduce the incidence of phlebitis compared with peripheral infusion.

Objective To explore the effectiveness and safety of Linezolid (LIZ) in treating children with infective endocarditis (IE).Methods The clinical data of 112 children with IE and treated in the Shanghai Children's Medical Center of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine from August 2008 to September 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 64 boys and 48 girls,and the age of IE onset ranged from 1 month to 17 years [(6.0 ± 4.8) years].Twenty-nine patients received LIZ treatment ＞ 7 days (LIZ treatment group),including 21 males and 8 females,and the age ranged from 5 months to 15 years [(6.9 ±5.2) years].The remaining 83 patients were identified without LIZ treatment(non-LIZ treatment group),including 43 boys and 40 girls,and the age ranged from 1 month to 17 years [(5.7 ±4.7) years].The etiological results,curative effect and adverse reactions of the LIZ treatment group were observed.Results Among the LIZ treatment group,22 cases had congenital heart disease and 1 case had intravenous catheter.There were 10 cases with infection of staphylococcus aureus,6 cases with coagulase negative staphylococcus,5 cases with oral streptococci and Streptococcus bovis group,3 cases with streptococcus pneumonia,2 cases with enterococcus faecium and 3 cases with negative blood culture results.All cases of the LIZ treatment group received Vancomycin therapy at first,LIZ was given when the Vancomycin therapy failed(16 cases with temperature reiteration,1 case inadequate microbiological response),Vancomycin intolerance (6 neutropenia,2 renal toxicity,2 allergy),and oral maintenance therapy (2 cases).The duration of LIZ treatment ranged from 9 to 135 days [(39.2 ±27.2) days].Three patients (10.3％) had adverse effects during LIZ treatment,1 case with severe digestive symptoms after treatment,1 case with teeth discoloration,1 case with the indicators decreasing by 2 routine blood test.Meanwhile,16 cases of 85 patients (18.8％) had side effects during Vancomycin treatment,in which 7 cases with neutropenia,6 cases with rash and 3 cases with renal insufficiency.But there were no significant differences in adverse effects between LIZ and Vancomycin treatment (x2 =1.l19,P ＞0.05).Twenty-five cases were cured (86.2％) and 2 cases dead (6.9％) in the LIZ treatment group.And no significant difference was found in cure rate,or mortality between LIZ treatment group and non-LIZ treatment group (86.2％ vs.77.1％,x2 =1.090;6.9％ vs.8.4％,x2 =0.069,all P ＞ 0.05) at 6 to 84 (23.9 ± 19.1) months follow-ups.Conclusions LIZ can be used to deal with Vancomycin failure and IE caused by gram positive coccus.LIZ was generally well tolerated in patients with IE.It may be useful in cases of IE complicated by brain abscesses for the good distribution.It is 100％ orally bioavailable,allowing oral administration for outpatients.

It might extenuate the heart and lung injury by hypothermia and ischemia-reperfusion during cardiopulmonary bypass. Cardiac conducting block might be prevented during operation.

Objective: To investigate the clinical characteristics during the perioperative period of pheochromocytoma in patients aged 60 years and over. Methods: Data of age, sex, tumor size, anesthesia time, intraoperative bleeding volume, intraoperative blood pressure, complications and hospitalization time from patients with pheochromocytoma in our hospital treated by the retroperitoneal laparoscopic adrenalectomy from January 2008 to October 2018 were retrospectively analyzed.The relationships of age with the intraoperative hemodynamic instability and postoperative complications were analyzed. Results: A total of 203 patients with pheochromocytoma met the inclusion criteria were enrolled.Age over 60 years(OR1.771, 95%CI=1.015-3.089, P=0.044)was an independent risk factor for intraoperative hemodynamic instability. Conclusions Laparoscopic retroperitoneal adrenalectomy is a safe surgical method for pheochromocytoma patients aged 60 years and over.For elderly patients with pheochromocytoma, especially those with a tumor diameter of more than 5 cm, special attention should be paid to the prevention of intraoperative hypertension crisis.

Objective: To explore the correlation between the expression status of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER-2) and the characteristics of conventional ultrasound, shear wave elastography(SWE) and contrast enhanced ultrasound(CEUS) images in breast cancer patients with negative expression of estrogen receptor (ER). Methods: In this study, 117 patients with 117 lesions were selected from the Second Hospital of Harbin Medical University Hospital, who had definite pathology and ER negative expression, including 62 patients with positive HER-2 (group Ⅰ) and 55 patients with negative HER-2(group Ⅱ). Conventional ultrasound images and SWE were collected preoperatively, and CEUS images were collected in 62 patients to analyze the correlation between the expression of HER-2 and the ultrasonic characteristics of the three ultrasonic modes. Results: ①Conventional ultrasound: the groupⅠwas characterized by irregular shape, unclear boundary, mainly with spicule edges, microcalcification, axillary lymph node metastasis and higher histological grading. The groupⅡhad no such characteristics (all P<0.05). ②SWE: the Emax, Emean and Eratio of group Ⅰ were higher than group Ⅱ(all P<0.05). ③CEUS: the peak time of group Ⅰ was earlier than group Ⅱ, the slope of ascending branch and the area under the curve were larger, and the characteristics of perforating vessels were easier to be observed, while perfusion defects were more likely to occur in groupⅡ(all P<0.05). Conclusions In the case of ER negative expression, there are obvious differences in multimodal sonograms of different breast cancer HER-2 expression conditions. The analysis of the above sonograms will play an important guiding role in the selection of clinical treatment plans.
