Objective:To determine the relationship between nocturnal oxygen desaturation and ventricular ectopy and study the effect of sleep stages on the frequency of ventricular ectopy in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Method:Twenty two clinically stable patients with mild moderate COPD underwent overnight polysomnography,arterial oxygen saturation (SaO2) and ECG were recorded simultaneously.The relationship between the frequency of ventricular ectopy (VE) and SaO2,sleep stages and compared the results with those of twelve normal control subjects.Result:The prevalence of nocturnal VE in patients with COPD was 59.1 percent which was obviously higher than that of control group.The frequency of VE had no correlation with the frequency and the degree of oxygen desaturation,the duration of SaO2 below 90 percent,nocturnal mean SaO2 and nadir SaO2.The frequency of nocturnal VE during wake stage,REM stage and NREM stage had no difference.Conclusion:These results suggest that mild moderate nocturnal oxygen desaturation and sleep stages had no apparently influence on the events of VE in stable patients with COPD.

An analytical method for simultaneous determination of five quinolones in spicy soup was developed. Spicy soup samples were firstly extracted by EDTA-Mcllvaine buffer at pH 4, then purified and concentrated by a novel Packed fiber solid phase extraction ( PFSPE ) coulumn. The extracted liquid supernatant was loaded onto the column, rinsed with water, and then eluted with 2% ammoniated methanol. The mobile phase was methanol-water-phosphoric acid (25:75:0. 1, V/V, adjusting the pH to 2. 8 with triethylamine) . These analytes were quantified by high performance liquid chromatography-fluorimetric detector( HPLC-FLD) at excitation and emission wavelength of 280 nm and 450 nm respectively. Recoveries of spiked quinolone antibiotics in spicy soup were from 72 . 1% to 110 . 3% with intraday relative standard deviation (RSD) between 1. 6% and 4. 3% and inter-day RSD from 2. 0% to 4. 3%. Limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantitation(LOQ) were from 1. 2 to 5. 4 μg/L and from 3. 9 to 18 μg/L, respectively. The method could be applied to determine the quinolones in spicy soup.

BACKGROUND:Currently, the enzymatic digestion combined with magnetic activated cel sorting for isolating microvascular endothelial cel s are cumbersome and do harm to cel s. Therefore, how to simplify the isolation and culture of human dermal microvascular endothelial cel s to obtain highly purified endothelial cel s in vitro becomes a hotspot.
OBJECTIVE:To explore a simple and effective cultivation method of microvascular endothelial cel s from diabetic patient skins in vitro, and to detect the cel growth.
METHODS:Diabetic patients with chronic foot wounds after amputation were enrol ed to col ect the limb proximal skin and topical skin around the wound superficial dermal tissue. Human dermal microvascular endothelial cel s were obtained using adherent method and trypsin method, fol oewd by purified utilizing trypsin digestion and repeated attachment method when passage culture.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human dermal microvascular endothelial cells were obtained successfully, Primary cultured endothelial cells completely adhered to the wall at 24 hours, entered the logarithmic phase at the 10th day, and the cell concentration reached 80%at the 12th-13th day. While the passage cells grew more actively than primary cells, and fully covered the bottom in a“cobblestone”arrangement after 5-7 days of culture. Immunohistochemical staining showed that cultured cells were positive for FVIII and CD31-associated antigens with 100%positive rate. MTT assay showed that cell growth curves of 2, 4, and 5 generations of dermal microvascular endothelial presented the invertedSshape. These results suggest that abundant highly purified human dermal microvascular endothelial cells can be obtained through the adherent method and a small amount of short-term trypsin method.

Objective To study the relationships between cell kinetics, apoptosis and expression, mutation of related genes in breast cancer. Methods Flow cytometry, immunohistochemical SP and PCR SSCP were used respectively to study DNA index(DI), S phase fraction(SPF), proliferation index(PI), apoptosis index(AI), expression of c erbB 2, Bcl 2, p53, PCNA, Ki67, TopoⅡ and mutation of p53 in 54 cases of breast cancer. Results High DI, aneuploidy rate, SPF, PI and AI were coincided with high expression of c erbB 2, p53, PCNA, Ki167 and TopoⅡ. Low DI, SPF, PI and AI were coincided with high expression of Bcl 2. High DI, SPF, PI and AI were coincided with high mutation of p53. High AI was related to a type of p53 mutation——loss of heterozygosity(LOH). Conclusion Abnormal cell kinetics and apoptosis were related with abnormal expression, mutation of related genes in breast cancer. [

Objective: Our aim was to evaluate effects of magnesium sulfate(MgSO4) on pulmonary hypertension in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease(CPHD). Methods: Eight patients with CPHD undergone right-heart catheterization. The parameters of hemodynamics and arterial blood gases in patients were measured before and after MgSO4 intravenous infusion(2% MgSO4,40 mg/min). Results: Mean pulmonary artery pressure(mPAP), pulmonary vascular resistance(PVR),mean systemic artery pressure(mSAP), and total systemic vascular resistance(TSVR) significantly decreased(P＜0.05) at 30 minutes after MgSO4 infusion. The decreased percentage of mPAP and PVR at 60 minute after MgSO4 infusion was 13.37% and 18.70% respectively(P＜0.05), but mSAP and TPVR decreased only by 8.15% and 7.43% respectively. The decreased degree of mPAP and PVR at 60 minutes after MgSO4 infusion significantly correlated with mPAP(r=0.712, P＜0.05)and PVR(r=0.802, P＜0.01) before MgSO4 infusion. No unfavorable effect of MgSO4 on other parameters of hemodynamics and arterial blood gases was found. Conclusion: Magnesium sulfate can attenuate pulmonary hypertension in patients with CPHD but may cause transient systemic hypotension.

Objective To investigate the effect of enteral nutrition support on prognosis in patients with severe acute stroke.Methods Ninety-eight cases of severe acute stroke were divided into nutrition supported group(50 cases) and control group(48 cases) randomly.All patients were treated by conventional therapy.Nutrition supported group received high energy nutrition diet and control group received common liquid diet by nasal feeding.The levels of hemoglobin,serum albumin,neurologic impairment score (NIHSS)and the incidence rates of complications were assessed at the 1st,10 th and 21st day after admission.Results Hemoglobin was (122.5 ± 2.4),(106.4 ± 2.8) g/L and serum albumin was (36.5 ± 4.7),(34.2 ± 5.1) g/L at the 21st day after admission in nutrition supported group and control group,and there was significant difference between two groups (P < 0.05).The complication rate in control group was higher than that in nutrition supported group (P< 0.05).NIHSS score was(8.45 ± 3.02) scores in nutrition supported group and (10.24 ± 2.57)scores in control group at the 21st day after admission,and there was significant difference between two groups (P <0.05).Conclusion Early enteral nutrition support can significantly improve nutritional status and decrease the incidence rates of complications in patients with severe acute stroke,and it is helpful for clinical prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the effect on inflammatory mediators and mechanism of dynamic factors on lung injury in a dog model of acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Method The ARDS dog model was duplicated by instillation hydrochloric acid. The dogs were randomly (random number) divided into six groups: (1) normal control group (N group); (2) ARDS group (M group); (3) low VT (6 mL/kg) at respiratory rate 30, low inspiratory flow 6 mL/(kg·s). (4) large VT (20 mL/kg) at respiratory rate 30, high inspiratory flow 20 mL/kg·s.(5) large VT (20 mL/kg) at respiratory rate 15, high inspiratory flow 17 mL/(kg·s). (6) large VT (20 mL/kg) at respiratory rate 15, low inspiratory flow 10 mL/(kg·s). All the dogs were killed after 4 h ventilation. TNF-α、IL-8, p38 MAPK and NF-κB activity in the lung were measured. Results The expression of IL-8 protein in B and C groups was much higher than that of other groups ( P < 0.01) . There was no significant difference among M, A and D groups (P > 0.05). The gray scale ratio of B group was obviously higher than that of other groups (P < 0.01), except C group (P > 0.05). There was no significant changes among M, A and D groups in TNF-α protein contents. p38 MAPK value of positive staining of B group was the strongest, significantlyhigher than that of D group ( P < 0.01) .The expression of p38 MAPK in B and C groups was much higher than other groups (P <0.01). NF-κB activity in B group (33.56±2.85%) was significantly higher than that in A (10.35±0.6%)、D(7. 11 ± 0.47%)group, but there was no difference between B and C group (30.87 ± 1.16%). Conclusions Ventilation at high tidal volume, high inspiratory flow rate, high respiratory rate could activate p38 MAPK and increase the activity of NF-κB with the result of aggravating the release of inflammatory mediators. p38 MAPK and NF-κB activation are the major mechanisms in the development of VILI.
