Objective To evaluate the effects of hydrocolloid dressings with conventional care in the prevention of pressure ulcers.Methods Randomised controlled trials and quasi-randomised trials,which assessed the effects of hydrocolloid dressings in preventing pressure ulcers compared to conventional care were sought.Data were pooled using RevMan 5.0.Results 17 eligible trials were identified with a total of 1 371 study participants.Meta-analysis showed that:Compared to conventional care,conventional care and hydrocolloid dressings were effective for preventing pressure ulcers for patients at risk of pressure ulcers [RR =0.29,95％CI (0.18,0.46)] and using noninvasive positive pressure ventilator [RR=0.30,95％CI (0.18,0.52).Conclusions Hydrocolloid drcssings and conventional care can reduce the pressure ulcer incidence of patients at risk of pressure ulcer or using noninvasive positive pressure ventilator.

Objective ToexploreamethodofusingCaspase-3smallinterferenceribonucleicacid (siRNA)in vitro to decrease the apoptosis in stable cell lines of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)in ordertoestablishMSCcelllineswithstableexpression.Methods VirusparticlescontainingCaspase-3siRNA were generated in 293FT cells by retroviral packaging system,then were transfected into MSC of rats. And the transfected cells were screened and cultured to get the stable MSC lines. According to the characteristics of retrovirus,the stable expression of the cell lines was identified by Western blot and real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-QPCR). The apoptosis of stable cell lines and normal MSC were detected by terminal dexynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labeling (TUNEL ) and their differences were compared.Results Comparedwiththenormalcells,thecaspase-3proteinexpressionandmRNAcontentof stable MSC lines were significantly reduced. In the same condition in vitro,the apoptosis quantity of stable MSC linessignificantlydecreasedcomparedwiththenormalcells.Conclusions StablecelllinesofMSCwithstable expression of Caspase-3 siRNA can be obtained by retroviral packaging system. The apoptosis quantity of stable MSC Lines significantly decreased compared with the normal cells.

Objective To explore the value of virtual monochromatic spectral (VMS) images acquired from dual-energy spectral CT (DESCT) with metal artifact reduction (MAR) algorithm in CT-guided microcoil localization for lung nodules.Methods Totally 80 patients with lung nodules underwent DESCT after CT-guided microcoil placement.At optimal keV level,VMS images and VMS with MAR algorithm (VMS+MAR) images were reconstructed,and image quality scores were compared.Results 74 keV was selected as the optimal level.The image quality of VMS+ MAR images at 74,90,110 and 140 keV were better than that at 50 keV (all P＜0.05).There was no statistical difference of image quality among 74,90,110 and 140 keV VMS+MAR images (all P＞0.05).At 74 keV,the image quality of VMS+MAR images was better than that of VMS images (P＜0.05).The consistency was good between the 2 observers (Kappa=0.78).Conclusion VMS images at 74 keV with MAR algorithm could reduce artifacts from microcoil,and clearly display lung nodules.

Objective To compare computed tomography angiography (CTA) and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in identifying anatomical variation of hepatic artery.Methods A retrospective analysis was made on 220 patients who underwent both CTA and DSA in our hospital.The volume rendering (VR) reconstruction of CTA images was performed.The image quality and the recognition of hepatic artery anatomic variation between CTA and DSA were compared.Results There was a significant difference in the image quality of hepatic artery between the two imaging methods (x2 =88.016,P =0.000),DSA was superior to CTA.There was no significant difference in the accuracy of hepatic artery anatomical identification between CTA and DSA (x2 =0.252,P =0.615).This study has found five other types of hepatic artery anatomical variation besides Micheles types.Conclusion The anatomical variation of hepatic artery is complex,and there are many other variations besides Micheles types.CTA,as a noninvasive method,can provide sufficient information for hepatic artery anatomy.

Objective To study the value of parameters of Transit-Time Flow Measurement(TTFM) as predictor and judge for one-year after coronary artery bypass transplantation in patency rate of vessel grafts .Methods Parameters of quantity of blood flow and the value of PI( pulsation index) were measured and recorded by intraoperative TTFM in CABG .One-year of follow-ing up, coronary artery CT or coronary angiography examination were accomplished.Results Our study include artery grafts 46(including LIMA grafts 44, RIMA graft 1 and radial artery graft 1) with the patency rate of grafts 91.3％ for one-year after CABG, and vein grafts 48 with the patency rate of grafts 66.7％ .There exists statistically significant difference between above two groups(P<0.001).High PI is independent risk factor(P =0.037) in patency rate of vessel grafts for one-year after CABG by binary logistics regression analysis but no other parameters have the statistical significance (P>0.05) .The results from logistic regression were summarized using the area under the ROC curve(AUC) .The pulsation index has been found hav-ing moderate judgment ability(P=0.016) for the dysfunction of grafts after CABG for one-year with optimal cut-off value of 2. 45.Conclusion Intraoperative high value of PI is the independent risk factor in patency rate of vessel grafts for one-year after CABG.

Objective To survey the prevalence of greenhouse farmer's lung and related risk factors in part of rural areas of Liaoning Province.Methods Using uniform scheme,procedures and questionnaire,a survey for 5420 farmers(2660 men and 2760 women)with complete data who work inside greenhouses was performed in Shenyang,Xinmin,Chaoyang,and Jinzhou between August 2006 and June 2009.Pulmonary function tests was performed for every active farmer.Results Greenhouse farmer's lung was diagnosed in 308 cases,205 men(66.55%,205/308)and 103 women(33.44%,103/308),a prevalence of 5.7%(308/5420).The prevalence rate of greenhouse farmer's lung in males was significantly higher than that in females(?2=39.93,P0.05).In the 308 cases,the number of patiernts presented with fever chill,cough/sputum,chest tightness/shortness of breath were 180(58.44%),192(62.34%),160(51.95%)respectively,and the number of crepitations,radiological changes,spirometry abnormalities and serum IgE antibodies(+)was 164(53.25%),153(49.68%),147(47.73%)and 136(44.16%)at the time of the study.62.34%(192/308)of patients with greenhouse farmer's lung were mild and 38.66%(116/308)were severe.Conclusion The total prevalence rate of greenhouse farmer's lung in part of rural areas of Liaoning Province was 5.7% and multiple risk factors were associated with the disease.
