28 patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome caused by 2009 H1N1 influenza were mechanically ventilated for 1 hour in the supine, lateral, semi-supine, lateral prone, and prone position respectively. Changes of heart rate, respiratory parameters and arterial partial pressure of oxygen ( PaO2 )were measured. There were no significant differences ( P ＞ 0. 05 ) of heart rate and mean arterial pressure among these postures. Lateral prone ( P ＜ 0. 05 ) and prone posture ( P ＜ 0. 01 ) , however, can both significantly improve tidal volume, mean airway pressure, PaO2, static lung compliance and oxygenation index. We concluded that mechanical ventilation delivered in the prone position can remarkably improve oxygenation in patients with H1N1 influenza-associated acute lung injury.

Doctor's degree is the highest degree for medical education.Nowadays,medical doctor candidates in more and more medical universities are requested to publish research papers in intemational journals embodied in Science Citation Index(SCI),or they can not graduate with doctor's degree.So,it is significant for medical doctor candidates to learn the related knowledge about SCI and Impact Factor(IF).

Objective To investigate the effect of cyclooxygenase-2(cox-2)on prostaglandin I2(PGI2)/thromboxane A2(TXA2)system in ischemia reperfusion(I/R)injury to small bowel in rat.Methods Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group(n=8),I/R group(n=20)and intervention group(n=20).Small intestine I/R model was established with the animals of I/R group:after anesthesia,rats were split along the middle abdominal incision,the mesenteric artery was then bluntly separated and clipped with a blood vessel forceps at its root for 45 minutes to block the blood flow,then releasing the forceps for reperfusion.Animals of intervention group were lavaged with Nimeshulide 1h before operation,the remaining steps were the same as did in I/R group.The samples of blood and intestinal tissue were collected at 3,6,12 and 24 hours after operation.The content of plasma D-lactate was detected by ultraviolet spectrophotometric method.Radioimmunoassay was used to detect 6-keto-PGF1?(the stable metabolite of PGI2,reflected the level of PGI2)and thromboxane B2(TXB2,stable metabolite of TXA2,reflected the level of TXA2)in serum and tissues of small bowel.The expression of cox-2 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group,the levels of plasma D-lactate,cox-2,6-keto-PGF1? and TXB2 were significantly increased in I/R group,with more obvious increase of TXB2,and the value of 6-keto-PGF1?/TXB2 decreased significantly(P

Objective To study the expression of cyclooxygenase2 in hepatic inflammatory reaction of rats with sepsis and its effect on metabolism.Methods Fifty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:Sham(A)group,sepsis model(B)group,and NS398 intervention(C)group.The rats were subjected to cecal ligation and puncture(CLP)for sepsis model or sham operation.RT-PCR was used to determine COX-2 mRNA expression,serum prealbumin(PA)and transferrin(TF)by radioimmunity.At the same time,ALT,AST,albumin determination and liver pathological changes were determined.Results(1)The expression of COX-2 mRNA was low in A group,higher in B and C groups,and higher in B than C group at each time period(P

This article summarizes the high risk factors and the progress of prevention in neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.It is beneficial for early intervention and reducing the morbidity and mortality of neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.

OBJECTIVE To inspect and analyze the cleaning efficacy on surgical instrument after cleaning cycle and maintenance procedures.METHODS The medical instrument was collected from each department based on the weekly usages.Focus on the timing of the cleaning after use and the efficacy of the cleaning methods.Use naked eyes to inspect the cleanness of the medical instrument after each cleaning cycle.RESULTS The combination of the machine washing and manual washing immediately after the surgical procedures provided better cleaning efficacy.It was more difficult to clean the instrument once the dried bio-burden on it or after soaking in the chlorine disinfectant.CONCLUSIONS The correct cleaning methods and instrument care procedures guarantee the cleaning efficacy,disinfections,and the sterilization for the medical instrument.

AIM: To investigate the constituents of the effective fractions from Shenshao Xinxin Prescription(Radix et rhizoma ginseng;Radix paeoniae rubra;Radix puerariae lobatae). METHODS: The compounds were isolated by column chromatography on silica gel,polyamide,sephadex gel and their structures were determined on the basis of their spectroscopic evidence including UV,FAB-MS and NMR data. RESULTS: Eight compounds had been isolated and identified as daidzein,4′-O-methyl-daidzin,genistin,PG-3,puerarin,paeoniflorin,daidzein 8-C-Apiosyl(1→6) glucoside,4′,7-diglucoside. CONCLUSION: The compounds obtained were the alcohol-soluble compounds from Shenshao Xinxin Prescription.
