Objective To investigate the physiological responses of healthy youth to doing chest compression as a feedback of quality of CPR after their rapid ascent to high altitude and to evaluate the feedback in the intervention effects of CPR.Methods Prospective,single sample,before-after comparison method was used in this study.Fifteen young adults from plains natives were enrolled as trial subjects in this study.All of them received basic life support training course in advance.In Chongqing (259 m above sea level),subjects performed empiric chest compressions on the model body for 4 minutes followed by feedback compressions for 4 minutes after at least 30 minutes rest.Compression depth,rate and other compression quality parameters were measured and recorded at each turn of compressions with an AED PLUS device.Subjects performed empiric compressions based on their knowledge and experiences,and practiced feedback compressions according to the audiovisual guidance of AED PLUS device.Blood pressure,heart rate and SpO2 were taken before and after each turn of compressions.One week after arrival to Lhasa (3658 m above sea level) by flight,all subjects were asked to do the same procedure as did in Chongqing to see their physiological response to.Paired t tests or Wilcoxon matched pair rank test were used for comparisons of measurements before and after trials.Results Systolic pressures,diastolic pressures,heart rates at baseline in Lhasa were significant different from those in Chongqing,including systolic pressure (125.9 ±9.5) mmHg vs.(112.7 ±13.4) mmHg,diastolic pressure (75.3 ±7.7) mmHg vs.(64.2 ±7.3) mmHg,heart rate (86.3 ± 13.0) beat/min vs.(72.7 ± 11.6) beat/min,SpO2 (90.4 ± 1.7)％ vs.(97.8 ±0.9)％,all P ＜ 0.01.In Lhasa,empiric compressions only caused an increase in heart rate (91.1 ± 14.9) beat/min vs.(86.3 ± 13.0) beat/min,P ＜ 0.01.However,feedback compressions resulted in a significant decrease in SpO2 [(88.3 ± 3.4) ％ vs.(90.6 ± 1.9) ％,P ＜ 0.01] as well as change of systolic pressure [(130.9 ± 11.7) mmHg vs.(120.1 ± 11.9) mmHg,P ＜0.05] and heart rate [(87.9 ± 17.5) beat/min vs.(80.9 ± 11.7) beat/min,P ＜0.05].In Lhasa,the compression quality during feedback compressions was closer to guideline recommendation than that during empiric compressions.The median (interquartile range) of composite qualification rate was 43.6％ (55.9％) vs.0.6％ (5.3％) during feedback compressions and empiric compressions respectively,P ＜ 0.01.Conclusions Compression quality decreased significantly among youth after rapid ascent to high altitude.Feedback techniques for CPR could effectively guide the rescuer to improve their CPR quality,but it may be at the expense of more physical consumption.

Objective To determine whether LTB4 could indirectly stimulate human osteoclast differentiation in RA through increasing RANKL expression of RAFLs. Methods We utilize the coculture model of RAFLs and monocyte which were stimulated in the presence of 2.5 ng/ml M-CSF in the control group, 2.5 ng/ml M-CSF +10-8 mol/L LTB4 in the experimental group A, 2.5 ng/ml M-CSF+10-8 mol/L LTB4+100 ng/ml OPG in the experimental group B. After culture for 3 weeks, through TRAP staining we counted the number of multinucleated TRAP staining positive osteoclast-like cells stained with TRAP to evaluate the differentiation effect in each group. Results There was almost no osteoclast-like cell in the control group and the experimental group B. Whereas there were many osteoclast-like cells in the experimental group A. Conclusion LTB4 can indirectly stimulate human osteoclast differentiation in RA through increasing RANKL expression of RAFLs.

The successful establishment of animal models of cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CA-CPR) undoubtedly provided an important basis for exploring the method of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS). However, pathophysiology varied with the etiology of cardiac arrest (CA). Therefore, preparation of similar animal models according to etiology was the basis for pathophysiological changes research. Compared with other animals, the rabbits had both the advantages of large and small animals, so they became common research object for the CA-CPR model. This paper reviewed the common methods of animal models of CA-CPR in rabbits. In this review, the methods, criteria, advantages, disadvantages and precautions of each model were analyzed, which would provide useful reference for CPR researchers.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of multiple-injuries of bone and joint in the belief that a better knowledge of such injuries may help their prevention and treatment. Methods A retrospective study was done on the data of 346 patients with multiple-injuries of bone and joint who had been ad- mitted to our department from January 2001 to December 2004. On the basis of CAI's classification, the following data were statistically analyzed: gender, age, cause of injury, injured part, number of injured parts, associated injuries and mortality. Results Of the 346 injured patients, there were 278 males and 68 females, with an av- erage age of 32.8 years (9months to 89 years). Two hundred and twenty-six cases resulted from traffic accidents, 65 from crush by a heavy object, and 52 from falling. There were 159 fractures of shaft of tibia and fibula, 96 fractures of femoral shaft, 87 fractures of shaft of ulna and radius, 58 fractures of ankle and foot, 57 chest injuries, 50 knee injuries, 50 hip injuries, 49 injuries at the pelvis region, 46 wrist and hand injuries, 36 injuries of shoulder, 36 skull fractures, 33 fractures of humeral shaft, 23 spinal fractures, and 17 elbow injuries. Two hundred and forty-two patients had two parts injured, 83 had three parts, 20 had four parts, and one had six parts. The average number of injured parts was 2.3. Two hundred and five patients suffered from close injuries, and 141 from open ones. The associated injuries included skull and brain injury in 51 cases, chest injury in 23, abdomen injury in five, urine system injury in three, nerve and vessel injury in 21, shock in 78, and fat embolism in six. Five patients died. Conclusions Male young people tend to be the majority of victims of multiple-injuries of bone and joint. Traffic accidents result in most of such injuries. Since multiple-injuries mostly involve lower limbs, they are easy to diagnose while the associated close injuries involving brain, chest, abdomen and pelvic are likely to be overlooked or misdiagnosed. Strengthening safety education and technical training of first aid is important to im- provement of treatment and to decrease of disability rate and mortality.

Objective To observe the effects of vaporized perfluorocarbon (PFC) combined with exogenous pulmonary surfactant (PS) inhalation on rabbit models of acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: ALI group, combination treatment group, PFC group, and PS group (each groupn = 8 rabbits). The rabbit model of ALI was induced by the whole lung normal saline lavage. After modeling, in the combined group, 3 mL/kg vaporized perfluorooctyl bromide/dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (PFOB/DPPC) emulsion was inhaled, the rabbits in PFC and PS groups were treated with vaporized PFOB emulsion and vaporized DPPC emulsion 3 mL/kg inhalation respectively, and in the ALI group was given the same amount of vaporized normal saline inhalation. In each group, before modeling for 30 minutes (basic value), after modeling for 1 hour and after treatment at 0 minute, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, the respiratory rate (RR), oxygenation index (OI), dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were observed, and the lung coefficient (LI) and lung permeability index (LPI) were calculated; the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the lung tissue was collected and the lung pathological changes were observed under macroscopic and microscopic observation.Results Aftermodeling, the levels of OI, Cdyn were quickly lowered, RR became significantly elevated, and there were obvious edema, hemorrhage and exudation in lung tissue of ALI group. The levels of OI were significantly increased in combined group and PFC group compared with the level in ALI group after treatment at 0 minute initially [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 231.0±16.7, 221.4±19.0 vs. 189.5±21.0, both P < 0.05], while the level of OI in PS group was increased significantly until 4 hours after treatment, being higher than that in ALI group (mmHg: 297.0±20.7 vs. 243.3±36.7,P < 0.05); RR was decreased significantly in combined treatment group at 30 minutes after treatment compared with that in ALI group (bpm: 151.1±13.3 vs. 178.5±32.0,P < 0.05), while the RR in PFC group and PS group were not increased significantly until 4 hours after treatment being higher than that in ALI group (bpm: 129.3±14.3, 133.1±13.9 vs. 157.5±32.5, bothP < 0.05). Compared to ALI group, the three treatment groups resulted in significant improvement in Cdyn right at 0 minute (mL/cmH2O: 1.64±0.10, 1.45±0.10, 1.43±0.09 vs. 0.57±0.05, allP < 0.05), their LPI, LI and inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased [LPI (×10-5): 4.21±0.42, 4.76±0.55, 4.87±0.49 vs. 5.56±0.52, LI: 8.04±0.58, 8.90±0.88, 9.22±0.71 vs. 10.85±0.73, TNF-α (ng/L): 50.05±4.91, 56.18±5.54, 63.60±5.96 vs. 73.60±5.27, IL-1β (ng/L): 34.27±4.55, 40.29±5.03, 48.13±6.38 vs. 54.71±4.26, allP<0.05], and pulmonary edema, congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration were obviously ameliorated (pathological scores: 3.74±0.58, 4.50±0.75, 5.29±0.72 vs. 6.13±0.72, P < 0.05). Cdyn levels were increased significantly in combined treatment group at 0 minute, 30 minutes, 4 hours after treatment compared with thosein PFC and PS group, but there were no significant differences between PFC and PS group. Levels of LI, LPI, inflammatory factors and pathological scores were decreased significantly in combined treatment group compared with those in PFC and PS group, the degrees of improvement of inflammatory factors and pathological scores in PFC group were more obvious than those in PS group (allP < 0.05).Conclusions PFOB combined with DPPC inhalation can provide greater oxygen delivery, reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokines, supplement PS and influence its distribution on the surface of lung, which might lead to a marked and sustained improvement in oxygenation, pulmonary function and amelioration of lung edema and inflammatory reaction in saline lavage induced lung injury of rabbits.

Objective To analyze the prognosis of T1-T2 stage breast cancer with 1 -3 positive axillary nodes after mastectomy, and to explore a subgroup of patients who could benefit from adjuvant radiotherapy. Methods In the retrospective study of 412 eligible patients, survival analysis was performed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed using the Log-rank method and Cox regression analysis, respectively. Results The follow-up rate was 98. 7%. 215 and 41patients were followed up for 5 and 10 years,respectively. The 5-and 10-year overall survival (OS) rate was 90. 0% and 81.3%, respectively. The 5-and 10-year locoregional recurrence (LRR) rate was 10. 7% and 18. 6%, respectively. In univariate analysis, T2 statging, more than one positive node, hormone receptornegative ( ER&PR-negative), ratio of positive lymph nodes (LNR) ＞ 25%, Her-2 positive, no hormonal therapy were associated with a significantly higher rate of LRR. T2 staging, more than one positive node,hormone receptor-negative were the risk factors for LRR with statistical significance in the multivariate analysis. Basing on these 3 risk factors, the high-risk group (with 2 -3 factors) had a 10-year LRR rate of 36. 9% compared with 3.9% in the low-risk group ( with 0 - 1 factors;x2 =20. 64,P =0. 000). The 5-year and 10-year distant metastasis (DM) rate was 12.9% and 24. 5%, respectively. LRR, and LNR ＞25%were statistically significant predictors of DM in the multivariate analysis. The 5-year DM rate for patients with LRR was 36. 6% compared with 9. 7% without LRR (x2 = 16. 34,P =0. 000). The 5-year OS rate for patients with LRR was 69. 9% compared with 92. 9% without LRR ( x2 = 20. 79, P = 0. 000). LRR was associated with a higher risk of distant metastasis and worse survival. Conclusions LRR after mastectomy has a significant impact on the outcome of patients with T1 -T2 breast cancer and 1 - 3 positive axillary nodes.Patients who have 2 -3 risk factors might benefit from radiotherapy.

Objective To summarize preliminary experiences on complete video-assisted thoracoscopes lobectomy for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.Methods From October 2009 to March 2012,42 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were treated with complete video-assisted thoracoscopes lobectomy.Tumors located in the left upper lobectomy in 7 cases,10 cases of left lower lobectomy,9 cases of upper right lung,4 cases of right lung,12 cases of lower right lobectomy.Preoperative cTNM stage was Ⅰ-Ⅱ (T1N0M0-T2N1M0),the size of tumor was ＜ 5 cm,no obvious lung and mediastinal lymph node enlargement or pleura hypertrophy.Results All operations were successful.There were (9.5 ± 3.2) pieces of lymph nodes removed.Nz lymph node cleaning was more than 3 groups,the average was 3.3 groups.The operation time was 100-400 (220 ± 37) min,blood loss was 120-700 (150 ± 63) ml,duration of drainage was 3-12(4.5 ± 2.1) d.The postoperative hospital stay was 9-31 (12.2 ± 5.0) d.Conclusion Video-assisted thoracoscopes lobectomy is technically feasible and safe,but the operation indications should be paid special attention.

Objective To evaluate the effcacy of electron-beam chest-wall irradiation in patients with breast cancer after mastectomy.Methods From June 1999 to December 2007,280 women with localized breast cancer received postmastectomy radiotherapy using electron beam to chest wall.The effcacy and toxicity of these 280 women was compared with 118 women treated during the same period using tangential field with photon beam.Results The follow-up rate was 93.2%.140 patients had a minimum followed up time of 5 years and 12 patients had a minimum follow up time of 10 years.The 5-year and 10-year chest wall recurrence rates were 6.8%and 5.0%.14.8%and 10.1%for patients irradiated with electron and photon(X2=1.12,P=0.290).The corresponding 5-year and 10-year disease-free survival rates were 60.6%and 65.5%,47.6%and 57.3%(X2=0.97,P=0.325).The 5-year and 10-year overall survival rates were 77.5%and 79.6%,48.4%and 53.3%(X2=0.37,P=0.545).Grade Ⅱ or more acute skin toxicity occurred in 10.4%and 16.9%of patients irradiated with electron and photon(X2=3.34.P=0.090).Pulmonary fibrosis developed in 28.8%and 22.1% of patients irradiated with electron and photon(X2=1.27,P=0.300).Conclusion Electron-beam chest-wall irradiation is as effective as photon-beam irradiation in breast cancer after mustectomy.

Objective To observe the surface electromyographic characteristics of the bilateral submen-tal muscles in dysphagia secondary to unilateral brainstem stroke. Methods A total of 25 subjects were recrui-ted. There were 8 stroke patients with dysphagia secondary to a left brainstem stroke and 7 stroke patients with dysphagia secondary to a right brainstem stroke. There were also 10 healthy controls matched in age and gender. The duration and peak amplitude of the submental muscle when swallowing 5 ml of warm water were recorded u-sing a surface electromyograph. Results The average amplitude of the left submental muscle in patients with a left brainstem stroke was significantly longer than that of those with a right brainstem stroke, but no significant differences in average duration were observed. Conversely, the amplitude of the right submental muscle in pa-tients with a right brainstem stroke was significantly longer than that of those with left brainstem stroke, but again there were no significant differences in duration. No significant differences were observed among the healthy con-trols. The amplitude and duration of both the affected and healthy sides of the patients were of course significantly longer or stronger than those of the healthy controls. Conclusion The swallowing function of the bilateral sub-mental muscles may be impaired among unilateral stroke survivors with dysphagia. The damage on the affected side is more severe than on the opposite side.

A mixed bacteria culture F6 isolated from oil field wastewater can degrade petroleum hydrocarbons efficiently. The bacteria were suitable to treat oil-polluted wastewater of oil field.
