Objective To compare the clinical diagnoses with autopsy findings and evaluate the frequency of misdiagnosis.Methods The findings of 356 cases who were autopsied in our department due to medical treatment dispute during the period of 1988 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed.The clinical diagnosis and autopsy findings,sex and age of the death,length of hospitalization,the hospital department,distribution of death disease and the rank of hospital were analyzed.The concordance between diagnosis before death and at autopsy was calculated.Results In 162 cases(45.5%),the autopsy findings confirmed the clinical diagnosis.In 101 cases(28.4%),the clinical diagnosis suggested by clinicians were discordant with the autopsy findings.In 63 cases(17.7%),some diagnoses made by clinicians were proved by autopsy,and in 30 cases(8.4%),the clinical and postmortem diagnosis were beyond comparison.The most frequently misdiagnosed diseases were from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases,and among them,cardiomyopathy,aortic atherosclerosis and pneumonia were most common.Conclusion Autopsy is not only helpful for the management of medical dispute,but also beneficial to reduce the misdiagnosis in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the preoperative liver function and prognosis of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) in patients with cirrhosis,using the Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification and the model for end-stage liver disease(MELD) score.Methods From January 2009 to June 2013,973 patients who were admitted to the Department of General Surgery of our hospital and the HuiZhou Municipal Central Hosptial were studied.Of the 373 patients with cirrhosis,38 patients were excluded because of Child C,MELD > 30,or laparotomy.The remaining 335 patients who received laparoscopic cholecystectomy were randomly divided into two groups The Child grade and MELD score were retrospectively analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in intraoperative hemorrhage between the Child A group [(106 ± 11) ml] and the Child B group [(109 ± 11) ml] (P > 0.05).The R < 14 scores in the MELD group [(58 ± 15) ml] was significantly lower than that in the R≥ 14 group [(120 ± 28) ml] (P < 0.01).There was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the Child group A (10 cases,12%) and the Child group B (17 cases,21%) (P >0.05).There was a significantly lower incidence in the R < 14 scores in the MELD group (10 cases,12%) than the R ≥ 14 group (27 cases,33%) (P < 0.05).There was also no significant difference in the hospital stay between the Child A group (9 ± 1) and the Child B group (10 ± 2)(P >0.05) ; the R < 14 score of the MELD group (7 ± 1) was significantly less than that of the R≥ 14 group (11 ±2) (P <0.01).There was no significant difference in the cost of hospitalization between the Child A group (1.337 ± 0.063) and the Child B group (1.359 ± 0.089) (P > 0.05) ; the R < 14 group (MELD score 1.108 ± 0.123) was significantly less than that of the R ≥ 14 group (1.568-± 0.117)(P < 0.01).Conclusion Compared with the Child-Turcotte-Pugh classification,the MELD score was more scientific,objective and accurate in judging the preoperative liver function.It helped to predict the amount of intraoperative hemorrhage and postoperative morbidity,reduced hospital stay and hospitalization expenses.Therefore,the MELD scoring system more objectively guided the treatment of patients with cholecystitis with cirrhosis.

Objective To explore the effect of telomerase reverse transcriptase(TERT) gene transfected bone marrow stem cell(BMSC)on the memory function and hippocampal CA1 region synaptic plasticity in vascular dementia rat.Methods A total of 60 rats were randomly divided into the negative control group(group A),model group(group B),conventional BMSC group(group C) and transfected BMSC group(group D).The related indicators in each group were detected by using the Morris maze test,RTPCR and Western blot respectively.Results The escape latency period in the group C and group D was significantly longer than that in the group B,which in the group D was significantly longer than that in the group C.Compared with the group A,the expressions of brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF)mRNA,TERT mRNA,SYP mRNA and protein in the group B,group C and group D were significantly decreased.The synaptic cleft arrange in group A was clear with more SYN positive ceils.The synaptic cleft in the group D was clearer,and the number of SYN positive cells was close to that in group A.Conclusion TERT transfected BMSC has obvious therapeutic effect on vascular dementia rats and its mechanism may be related to the promotion of BDNF,TrkB expression and the improvement of synaptic plasticity.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate therapeutic efficacy and safety of leosimendan in the treatment of acute left heart failure (ALHF) and its effects on left ventricular function indexes and serum markers.METHODS:A total of 110 patients with acute left ventricular function selected as research objects from No.251 Hospital of PLA during Jan.2014-Dec.2015,and then were divided into control group (53 cases) and observation group (57 cases) according to random number table.Both groups received routine therapy.Control group was additionally given Dopamine hydrochloride injection or Dobutamine hydrochloride injection as cardiotonic on the basis of routine therapy.Observation group was additionally given Levosimendan injection with initial dose of 10 μg/kg+0.9% Sodium chloride injection 50 mL,ivgtt (10 min),and then with micro pump infusion at the rate of 0.1 g/(kg· min) for continuous 24 h.Both groups were treated for continuous 7 d.Clinical efficacies of 2 groups were observed,and the levels of left ventricular function indexes (PER,PFR,LVEF,LVSF) level,serum marker (NT-proBNP) and galectin-3 (Gal-3) before and after treatment,the occurrence of ADR was recorded.RESULTS:Two cases were withdrawn from the study due to death (one case in each group).Finally,a total of 108 cases were included,involving 52 cases in control group and 56 cases in observation group.Clinical total response rate of observation group (94.64%) was higher than that of control group (86.54%),but without statistical significance (P>0.05).Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in left ventricular function indexes or serum markers levels between 2 groups (P> 0.05).After treatment,the levels of left ventricular function indexes were improved significantly in 2 groups,and LVEF and LVSF of observation group were significantly higher than those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05).NT-proBNP and Gal-3 of 2 groups were decreased significantly,and the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05).No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups during treatment.CONCLUSIONS:Leosimendan in the treatment of ALHF have the similor clinical efficacy with dopamine,but helps to strengthen the left heart pump function,reduce heart failure markers levels with good safety.

ObjectiveTo develop and preliminarily apply a dynamic scoring information system for critically ill patients to optimize the management system for critically ill patients. Methods? Totally 55 risk factors of three groups were selected based on Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Scoring System, Tiss-28 Scoring System 2, critical value and expert consensus and included in the information platform, which was connected to the hospital's information and data system. A dynamic scoring system was designed and developed independently. The system consisted of two modules: alarm and clinical decision-making. An operation protocol was made by the Department of Nursing and included into the nursing management system to ensure that the system could run effectively. Data of inpatients in Tenth People's Hospital of Tongji University from October 2015 to October 2017 was selected. The disease recognition of the dynamic scoring system and the existing MEWS alarm and scoring system and the success rate of treatment in critically ill patients before and after the dynamic scoring system was introduced were compared. Results? The area under receiver operating characteristic curves (AUC-ROC) of the dynamic scoring system was 0.947(95%CI 0.930-0.964), which showed higher recognition of critical illness compared with the MEWS alarm and scoring system (P<0.05). After the dynamic information system was introduced, the success rate of treatment in critically ill patients was 68.61%, which was higher than that before it was applied (χ2=10.046; P=0.002). Conclusions? The dynamic scoring system can accurately evaluate patients' disease and provide digital data and a list of clinical decisions for nurses, thus improving the success rate of treatment in critically ill patients and enhancing nurses' clinical decision-making ability.
