Objective:To evaluate the efficacy of amiodarone in preventing reperfusion ventricular fibrillation (RVF) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Methods:This study searched the databases of CNKI, Wanfang, Weipu, Cochrane, Embase, Web of Knowledge and PubMed, and searched the related research of amiodarone to prevent RVF in cardiac surgery patients, the time was until December 2019. Meta analysis was performed using Revman 5.3 software according to established standards.Results:The study included six studies (incorporating 514 patients). According to different intervention methods, 514 patients were divided into three groups, 196 in the amiodarone group, 153 in the lidocaine group, and 165 in the placebo group. The incidence of RVF was significantly lower in the amiodarone group than in the control group ( RR: 0.64, 95% CI: 0.47-0.86, P=0.003, I2=49%), but there was no significant difference between the amiodarone group and the lidocaine group( RR: 1.03, 95% CI: 0.48-2.22, P=0.94, I2=74%). Compared with the control group, amiodarone reduced the defibrillation frequency of RVF, but the difference was not statistically significant ( RR: 0.90, 95% CI: 0.68-1.20, P=0.48, I2=0). There was no difference in the number of defibrillation of RVF between the lidocaine group and the amiodarone groups ( RR: 1.50, 95% CI: 0.90-2.52, P=0.12, I2=38%). Conclusion:Compared with the control group, amiodarone can significantly reduce the incidence of RVF in patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

Objective To explore the relationship between the expression changes of cytokines, inter-leukin-6(IL-6), interleukin-8(IL-8), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and the wound time following explosive injury to rabbit’s chest. Methods The rabbit’s model of explosive injury was established. The expression levels of IL-6、 IL-8 and TNF-α in the plasma were detected by ELISA method at different wound time (0.5-12 h). Results The level of IL-6 increased at 3 h after wounding and reached peak at 6 h. The level of IL-8 increased at 1 h and reached peak at 6 h. The level of TNF-α increased at 0.5 h and reached peak at 3 h. Conclusion IL-6, IL-8 and TNF-α have a time-related expression after explo-sive injury.

Objective To explore the applicability and feasibility of the hierarchical linear model in dealing with the repeated measurement data by applying it into multi-center clinical trials’ evaluation of new Chinese medicine. Methods The theoretical research described the basic concepts and principles of hierarchical linear model and compared the applying conditions of traditional statistical methods with hierarchical linear model. In the empirical study, the hierarchical linear model was used into a real multicenter clinical trial research of traditional Chinese medicine, with the TCM syndrome score as the analysis indicator. Results The hierarchical linear model added time, group and time×group as random variables into the model to get the final result. All of the three variables were significant in the result. The interaction (time×group) statistical result was t=2.65, P=0.008 1. During the whole treatment, the TCM syndrome mean score of trial group reduced 8.5 and the control group reduced 7.47. At the end of treatment, the TCM syndrome mean score of trial group was 2.46, and the control group was 3.31, which was higher than trail group. For this result, combining with the TCM syndrome score’s developing trend, we can see that the efficacy of trial group is not worse than the control group. Conclusion By comparing the data requirements, applying conditions and analysis results, the hierarchical linear model could be an effective method which can be used in multi-center trial to evaluate traditional Chinese drug.

Objective To analyse the sonographie characteristics of thyroid nodules after injection and investigate the contrast enhanced ultrasonography. Methods Analysed the sonographic characteristics in 32 cases and observed the dynamic enhancement pattern of nodules by the time-intensity curve(TIC). The evaluated parameters were arrival time (AT), time to peak(TTP), peak intensity(PI). Results Thyroid cancer (12 cases) showed early wash in an early wash out in comparison with the adjacent thyroid parenchyma, and the enhancement intensity [AT(7.49 ± 4.45), TIP( 17.41 ± 2.84), PI( 18.56 ± 5.24) s] were lower than nodular goitre (20 cases) [ AT ( 13.22 ± 3.30), TIP (20.92 ± 2.59), PI ( 19.15 ± 5.47 ) s ] (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion The contrast enhanced ultrasonography may provide a useful method for the diagnosis of thyroid cancer.

Objective To analysis the relationship between gestational age and perinatal outcomes in patients complicated with early onset severe preeclampsia.Methods Retrospective study was conducted on clinical documents of 221 patients with early onset severe preeclampsia( ＜ 34 weeks) who delivered after 28 gestational weeks in Peking University First Hospital from July 1999 to June 2009.Patients were divided into three groups based on gestational weeks at delivery: group Ⅰ (n = 81 ) delivered at 28 -31 weeks+6,group Ⅱ (n = 78) at 32 -33 weeks+6 and group Ⅲ (n = 62) after 34 weeks.The clinical characteristics and perinatal outcomes were compared among those three groups.Results ( 1 ) Outcome of neonates:Among 221 neonates, 13 neonates lost follow-up, including 9 in group Ⅰ , 3 in group Ⅱ, 1 in group Ⅲ.The incidence of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome ( RDS ) of 26% ( 19/72 ) in group Ⅰ were significantly higher than 7% (5/75) in group Ⅱ and 10% (6/61) in group Ⅲ (P ＜ 0.05 ).The neonatal mortality rate of (43% ,31/72) in group Ⅰ were significantly higher than 3% (2/61) in group Ⅲ and 28%(21/75) in group Ⅱ (P ＜0.05 ).The incidence of maternal complications showed no statistical difference among three groups.(2) Neonatal death analysis: all neonatal death were due to parents' give up, including 26%(8/31) in group Ⅰ, 67% (14/21)in group Ⅱ and 1/2 in group Ⅲ, which reached statistical difference(P＜0.05).Conclusions The incidence of neonatal RDS in mother with early onset severe preeclampsia was decreased if delivered after 32 weeks, and the perinatal mortality was remarkably decreased if delivered after 34 weeks.Therefore, the perinatal survival rate in women with early onset severe preeclampsia can be improved by minimizing the impact of social factors.

Objective To analyze the features of drowning victim s with psychiatric disorders to support further investigation on such cases. Methods O ne hundred and five archives of drowning victim s with psychiatric disorders from January 2010 to June 2014 in H arbor Public Security Subbureau, Shanghai Public Security B ureau were reviewed. The decedents’ general inform ation, autopsy findings, case inves-tigation data and disease histories were statistically analyzed. Results O f the 105 cases, 104 were sui-cides. Most decedents were poorly educated. Most suicides occurred in warm clim ate, and the corpses were usually found within 2 days. Most decedents had no suicide history and notes, but had abnorm al m ental or behavior changes before suicide. D epression, depression status and schizophrenia were the m ain types of psychiatric disorders, and only 9 decedents had received regular therapies before their deaths. Conclusion Mental disorder is a high risk factor in the drowning victim s. G uardians should be aware of psychotic abnorm al behaviors, especially during warm clim ate seasons.

Objectives To explore different factors (clinical presentations and laboratory investigations ) between the severe and mild Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) in southeast China ,and to find the predictors of severe GBS. Meth?ods Retrospective analysis was conducted on 101 cases of patients with GBS admitted to our Hospital from Jan. 2006 to Nov. 2015, who were divided into mild and severe groups according to Hughes scale. The different factors were compared between these two groups such as age, sex, precursor infection factors, the initial symptoms, bulbar dysfunction, cranial nerves involvement, autonomic nervous dysfunction, peripheral nerve axonal damage to find the predictors for the severe GBS. Results Severe GBS more frequently presented with non-paresthesia as initial symptom (P<0.001) , bulbar dysfunc?tion (P<0.001), cranial nerves involvement (P=0.025), autonomic nervous dysfunction (P=0.018), motion system involve?ment (P = 0.004) and peripheral nerve axonal damage (P<0.001). After multivariable logistic regression analysis, we found that the axon damage(P=0.008, OR=4.632), bulbar dysfunction(P=0.010, OR=10.420), and cranial nerves in?volvement(P=0.047, OR=0.076)were the independent risk factors for sever GBS. Conclusion Axon damage, bulbar dys?function, and cranial nerves involvement might be significant predictors of sever GBS.
