Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect of early fluid resuscitation under the guidance of pulse indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) on patients with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Clinical data of 18 SAP patients (research group),who had undergone fluid resuscitation under the guidance of PiCCO in the Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University from October 2011 to October 2013,were analyzed prospectively.At the same time,clinical data of 25 cases (control group) that had undergone fluid resuscitation without the guidance of PiCCO from January 2009 to September 2011 were collected retrospectively.The volume of fluid and clinical data were compared between two groups.Results During the first 6 hours,0-24 hours,24-48 hours,and 0-72 hours after intensive care unit (ICU) admission,the research group received larger volume of fluid than that of the control group (mL:2 133 ± 1 593 vs.1 024 ± 421,t=3.337,P=0.002; 5 960 ±2 951 vs.3 767 ± 854,t=3.531,P=0.001; 4 709 ± 1 508 vs.3 863 ± 1 122,t=2.112,P=0.031 ; 14 601 ± 5 095 vs.11 409 ± 2 667,t=2.673,P=0.007).Compared with the control group,the incidence of application of blood purification was lowered [5.56％ (1/18) vs.44.00％ (11/25),x2=7.688,P=0.006],the duration of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) was shortened (days:3.54 ± 2.44 vs.5.62 ± 3.62,t=2.113,P=0.041),acute physiology and chronic health Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score was significantly declined at 24 hours after admission (11±4 vs.14 ± 5,t=2.104,P=0.042),the blood lactic acid was decreased more significantly after 72 hours (mmol/L:3.10 ±0.55 vs.2.40 ± 1.12,t=2.442,P=0.019),and the length of ICU stay was shortened (days:10 ±9 vs.20 ± 10,t=3.371,P=0.002) in research group.But there was no significant difference in the percentage of the use of vasoactive drugs [16.67％ (3/18) vs.24.00％ (6/25),x2 =0.340,P=0.560],the incidence of invasive mechanical ventilation [50.00％ (9/18) vs.52.00％ (13/25),x2 =0.017,P=0.897],72-hour urea nitrogen changes (mmol/L:-0.33 ± 4.71 vs.-0.09 ± 5.37,t=0.152,P=0.880),and the percentage of abdominal infection [16.67％ (3/18) vs.16.00％ (4/25),x2=0.003,P=0.953] between research group and control group.The mortality in research group was lower than that in control group [5.56％ (1/18) vs.20.00％ (5/25)] without statistical difference (x2=1.819,P=0.178).According to the 2012 Atlanta classification,patients were re-evaluated after 48 hours fluid resuscitation.Six patients in research group developed moderately severe acute pancreatitis,and the incidence was significantly higher than that in control group [33.33％ (6/18) vs.8.00％ (2/25),x2=4.435,P=0.034].The time of mean PiCCO installation was 4.5 days in 18 cases of the research group,and no related complications occurred.Conclusions The PiCCO device may be a useful adjunct for fluid resuscitation monitoring in patients with SAP within 72 hours.Early fluid resuscitation under the guidance of PiCCO may be helpful in improving tissue perfusion,reducing the application of blood purification,as well as shortening length of ICU stay.This program did not increase the risk of invasive mechanical ventilation,and no obvious change in mortality rate was observed.

Objective To observe the effect of apolipoprotein E mimetic peptide (ApoE23) on lipopolysaccharide (LPS) levels in plasma and the regulatory role of ApoE23 on low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) on liver cells in the septic mice.Methods An ApoE mimetic peptide was designed and referred terminologically as ApoE23 in abbreviation.ApoE23 was synthesized by using solid phase synthesis assay and were refined by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).The peptide was identified and confirmed by using electron spray ionization mass spectrometry and amino acid composition analysis.The C57BL mice infected with Salmonella typhimurium group B were treated with apoE23 injected into tail vein.The plasma LPS levels were measured by using immunoturbidimetry.The LDLR expression and level on liver cells were measured by real time PCR and western blot respectively.Results The plasma LPS levels significantly increased and the liver LDLR expression decreased in the septic mice.ApoE23 treatment markedly reduced the plasma LPS levels and redressed the LDLR down-expressions on liver cells both in mRNA and protein levels compared to the septic mice without ApoE23 treatment.Conclusions The reduction of LPS level after ApoE23 treatment may be associated with the modulation role of ApoE23 in LDLR expression on liver cells,and ApoE23 may be a potential agent against bacterial sepsis as well.One of possible mechanisms was most likely associated with effect of ApoE23 on LDLR expression.

Objective: To clone the Fab gene of a monoclonal antibody (mAb) BDI against human bladder cancer and its expression in E. coli. Methods: Fd and K genes of mAb BDI were cloned by RT-PCR and inserted into an Fab expression vector. Phage displaying Fab and soluble Fab were expressed in E. coli. The N-terminal sequence of VH region was corrected by PCR mediated mutagenesis. The antigen-binding characteristics of the Fab were tested by ELISA and immu-nohistochemistry. Results: Fd and K genes were cloned into the expressing vector p3MH and the phage displaying antibody and soluble Fab were expressed in E. coli, which showed weak binding activity to bladder cancer cells. Correction of the N-terminal sequence of the VHimproved the biding activity dramatically. The feasibility of the application of the Fab in phage antibody library screening was confirmed by a simulated panning procedure. Conclusion: The Fab gene of an anti-human bladder cancer mAb was expressed in E. coli. The importance of the N-terminal sequence on antibody binding activity was suggested.

Objective To investigate the distribution and evolvement of resistance profiles of the pathogens isolated from children diagnosed with urinary tract infection (UTI).Methods The pediatric patients who were diagnosed with UTI in Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2001 to December 2010 were enrolled in this retrospective study.The clean catch midstream urine samples were collected and the pathogens were isolated by culture.Bacterial susceptibility test was performed by following a protocol of the standardized Kirby Bauer (KB) method.The enumeration data were analyzed by chi square test and the tendency of drug resistant rate was analyzed by curvilinear regression.Results A total of 10 686 pathogen strains were isolated during the past 10years.The major pathogen was Escherichia coli which counted for 38％ -56％ of the isolates.However,the proportion of Enterococcus faecalis (0 - 17％,F =34.075,P =0.000) and Enterococcus faecium (3 ％ - 15 ％,F =7.139,P =0.028) increased rapidly.The resistant rates of Escherichia coli to cefazolin,cefuroxime sodium,cefotaxime and ceftazidime were 35.8％- 62.3％(F=215.735,P=0.000),33.1％ -57.0％(F=70.674,P=0.000),19.0％ -56.5％(F=52.355,P=0.000) and 2.1％-23.5％(F=16.807,P=0.003),respectively.The resistant rate of Escherichia coli to ciprofloxacin was 23.4％ - 33.8 ％ (F=0.989,P=0.349),while the resistant rate of Escherichia coli to amikacin and cefoperozone/sulbactam were both less than 7％.There was no Escherichia coli isolate showing resistant to imipenem.The resistant rates of Enterococcus faecium to ampicillin and ciprofloxacin were higher than 60.0％ and 50.0％,respectively,while the resistant rate of Enterococcus faecalis to these two antibiotics decreased from 40.0％ to 9.6 ％ (F =17.497,P =0.009) and 60.0％ to 21.6％ (F=12.826,P=0.009),respectively.The resistant rate of Enterococcus faecium to nitrofurantoin decreased from 32 ％ (in the year of 2002) to 9.4％ (in the year of 2010,F=34.075,P=0.000) and the resistant rate of Enterococcus faecalis decreased from 9.2％ (in the year of 2005) to 1.4％ (in the year of 2010,F=7.139,P=0.028).The resistant rates to erythromycin were both higher than 75.0％ in both Enterococcus in recent 10 years.There was no Enterococcus isolates showing resistant to vancomycin.Conclusions Escherichia coli,Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium are the most common pathogens associated with UTI in children.The proportions of Enterococcus faecalis and Enterococcus faecium among the pathogens of UTI are increasing.The antimicrobial activity of ampicillin to Enterococcus faecalis keeps at a high level.However,there are few drugs can be used for treating Enterococcus faecium infection.

Objective To explore the differential liver plasma membrane (PM) proteins that may be related to the occurrence,development and reversal process of hepatitis and to understand the pathogenesis of hepatitis and the new drug targets by performing a comparative proteomics research of liver PM between hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) transgenic mice and wild-type C57 mice.Methods A 6-month-old HBsAg transgenic mouse model was established.The pathological examination was performed to observe the pathological changes of transgenic mice and wild-type C57 mice.The PM from liver tissue of 6-month-old transgenic mouse and the control mouse were purified through twice sucrose density grade centrifugation combined with second antibody magnetic bead enrichment.The purity of extracted PM was verified by Western blot.Differential proteome expression analysis was performed by using two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) and ImageMaster software analysis.The differentially expressed proteins were lysed by trypsin and identified by liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis.Results The pathological examination results showed that hepatitis was observed in the transgenic mouse group,while no abnormity was found in the controls.The PM was successfully enriched and the mitochondria contamination was reduced by sucrose density grade centrifugation combined with second antibody magnetic bead purification treatment.Thirty differential mice liver PM protein spots were visualized,in which 11 non-redundant proteins were successfully identified by LC-MS/MS in transgenic mouse group,including 9 up regulated protein spots and 2 down-regulated protein spots.These differentially expressed proteins included keratin,cardiac Ca2+ release channel,cytochrome B5,ATP synthase subunit alpha,etc.Conclusions A batch of HBsAg gene expression related differential proteins are identified in mouse liver plasma.These proteins might be new drug targets for anti-HBV treatment.This study will guide further investigation on the mechanism of HBV infection induced hepatitis.

Objective To investigate the effects of soluble endoglin(sEng)on nitric oxide (NO)production and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS)phosphorylation in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells within 3 passages seeded in culture plates of 96 wells,were stimulated by total culture medium(control group)or sEng (1,10 and 100 μg/L)respectively.Cells and medium were collected after cells were cultured for 6,12 and 24 hours respectively.The concentration of the metabolites of NO in each group was measured by nitrate reductase method.The expression of eNOS and eNOS-Ser(p)1177 were detected by Western blot.The expression of eNOS mRNA in each group was detected by real-time fluorescence reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Analysis of variance,LSD method and pearson correlation were used to compare the difference between groups.Results(1)The concentration of the metabolites of NO in 1,10 and 100μg/L sEng groups was(59.25±1.63),(41.08±2.71)and (30.38±1.63)μmol/L respectively after cultured for 6 hours;(54.98±3.34),(35.00±8.60)and (19.82±3.75)μmol/L for 12 hours; and(46.14±4.93),(30.24±2.08)and(12.78±5.01)μmol/L for 24 hours.There was no significant changes in control group with time going by(F=2.30,P=0.14).The concentration of the metabolites of NO was significantly lower in sEng group,and which had negative correlation with culture time(r=-0.98,P＜0.05)and dose(r=-0.88,P＜0.05).(2)The expression of eNOS in 1,10,100 μg/L sEng groups was 0.71 ± 0.00,0.47 ± 0.00 and 0.32±0.00 after cultured for 6 hours; 0.58±0.00,0.42±0.00 and 0.25±0.00 for 12 hours; and 0.49±0.00,0.33±0.00 and 0.18±0.00 for 24 hours.While the expression of eNOS and eNOS-Ser (p)1177/eNOS had no significant changes in control group with time going by(F=3.59 and 0.37,P=0.09 and 0.80).The expression of eNOS protein and eNOS-Ser(p)1177 decreased significantly in sEng groups,which had negative correlation with culture time(r=0.98 and-0.96,P＜0.05)and dose(r=-0.76 and-0.79,P＜0.05).(3)The expression of eNOS mRNA decreased significantly in sEng groups.Which also had negative correlation with culture time(r=-0.51,P＜0.05)and dose(r=-0.82,P＜0.05).Conclusions sEng might inhibit eNOS activity by blocking 1177 Ser phosphorylation to decrease NO production.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have documented that,the increase of anti-cardiolipin(aCL) antibody titer has an obvious positive relaltionship with the vascular thrombosis,thrombocytopenia and repeated abortion in the patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome,but there is little information on the aCL antibodies in lupus nephritis(LN).OBJECTIVE:To ascertain the preyalence and significance of aCL antibodies in Chinese patients with LN.DESIGN:Prospective follow-up study of one sample.SETTING:Department of Rheumatology in Xiangmihu Branch of Shenzhen Fourth People's Hospital,Shenzhen Institute of Rheumatology in Guangdong Medical College.PARTlCIPANTS:The study was performed in 97 LN Patients consecutively recruited in the Department of Rheumatology in Xiangmihu Branch of Shenzhen Fourth People's Hospital between March 2001 and October 2003.All the included patients met the revised criteria of American College of Rheumatology for the diagnosis and classification of LN.And they all knew the fact saying yes.METHODS:The clinical data and auxiliary examination result were recorded when hospitalizalion.The aCL antibodies were measured by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and Were considered as positive if over 100 U/mL.High-dose oral administration of prednisonc combined with cyclophosphamide intravenous pulse therapy were applied for inducing release.The curative effect was remained by using azathioprine and prednisone at a decreasing dose.Meanwhile the complications such as hypertension,hyperlipemia and arthralgia were prevented by drugs.All the patients had routine visits at six-month intervals for a total of 3 years,Clinical and seroIogic manifestations of Patients with LN were tested and recorded regularly.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Gender,age,systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index,clinical manifestations,vascular thrombosis,pregnancy outcome and renal function.RESULTS:All the 97 LN Patients were included in the study.and 83 of them entered the result analysis while the other 14 cases were lost.The overall prevalence of aCL antibodies in 97 subjects was 39%(38 cases).Hypertension,thrombocytopenia and Raynaud's phenomenon were more frequent in LN Patients with aCL antibodies.The aCL IgG antibody-positive Patients showed a greater risk for the occurrence of vascular thrombosis;Pregnancy morbidity of miscarriages,premature birth,fetal death and the probabmty of developing irreversible renal function deterioration occurred at a greater frequency in aCL antibody-positive patients.CoNCLUSIoN:The prevalence of aCL antibodies in LN Patients is 39%.A higher incidence of hypertension.thrombocytopenia and Raynaud's phenomenon is found in patients with aCL antibodies.Detection of aCL antibodies in Patients with LN may be usefol to predict the development of vascular thrombosis,pregnancy morbidity and irreversible chronic renal function deterioration.
