Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of the acute toxicosis cases in a general hospital of a metropolis. Methods The prospective study was performed from Jan. 1st, 2005 to Dec. 31st, 2006 in acute toxicosis patients admitted during that period. The data analyzed included sex, age, occupation, onset time, poisoning cause, variety of poisons, way of poisoning, emergency diagnosis, emergency treatment, etc. Results There were 315 poisoning patients treated during the study period, accounting for 2.33‰ of the total patients visiting in the emergency department. Among these poisoning patients, the sex ratio (males vs females) was 1∶0.84. The age of most of the patients ranged from 20 to 29 (35.9%) years old. Alcohol was the major cause of poisoning (38.4%), followed in order by poisoning due to drugs (20.6%), food poisoning (18.1%), chemical poisoning (10.2%) and pesticide poisoning (5.7%). There was predominant time of the occurrence of poisoning in a year, but it was more frequent in January, February, June, July, November and December. 85.1% of patients were poisoned by oral route. The occupation of patients was mainly technical personnel (21.0%), followed in order by farmers and the laborers, self-employed businessmen, persons taking care of household chores and the unemployed, etc. 98.1% of patients survived in the hospital. Mortality rate was 1.9%. Conclusions Young persons and technical personnel constitute the high-risk group of patients with poisoning. The main poisons were alcohol, drugs, food and other chemical poisons. The main route of poison intake was the digestive tract. There is no obvious seasonal regularity.

During 131Ⅰ therapy or the natural course of DTC,2％ to 5％ of them will gradually no longer be sensitive to 131Ⅰ therapy and lead to radioactive iodine-refractory DTC (RAIR-DTC).Recent studies found that alterations of critical molecular targets in main signal transduction pathways could decrease the iodine-trapping function of thyroid carcinoma,such as BRAFV600E mutation,followed by negative 131 Ⅰ-whole body scan (WBS) and discounted efficacy.This article reviews novel diagnostic and therapeutic modalities for RAIR-DTC.

ObjectiveTo compare the clinical efficacy and safety of anesthesia induction between inhalation of sevoflurane and intravenous injection of propofol for laryngeal mask airway (LMA) insertion in elderly patients.Methods40,ASA physical grade Ⅰ ～ Ⅱ patients scheduled to receive elective total knee arthroplasty were allocated to 2 groups at random. Patients in group one( G1 ) received intravenous induction of propofol infusion by a targetcontrolled infusion system which was set at the effect-site concentration of 4.0μg/ml,while patients in group two(G2)received inhalational induction with sevoflurane using vital capacity manoeuver at the target of end-expiratory concentration of 3.0％. We observed the whole procedure of anesthesia induction and LMA insertion, while recording the changes in hemodynamic state and occurrence of adverse events. ResultsMore than 85％ patients achieved LMA insertion at first attempt using either induction manoeuver. Although consciousness loss time in G1 was 39. ls longer than G2, there was no difference in anesthesia induction time for LMA insertion between these two groups. Contrary to a significant decrease in MAP following induction for patients in G1, there appeared hemodynamically stable in patients of G2,while apnea also significantly seldom occurred in G2 as compared to G1 (20％ vs 85％ ,P ＜0. 05).ConclusionAs compared to intrvenous induction with propofol, inhalation induction with sevoflurane provided a valuable alternative for LMA insertion in adults.

Objective To evaluate the application effect of evidence-based care model in hemostasis by compression in patients after renal biopsy.Methods 80 patients undergoing renal biopey from December 2006 to December 2009 in our hospital were chosen as the research object.They were randomly divided into the control group and the observation group with 40 patients in each group.The control group was given routine nursing,and the observation group was treated with evidence-based care model for nusing.The re-bleeding rates,satisfaction degree and the SAS,SDS score,mastering degree of related knowledge,treatment compliance for the two groups before and after nursing were compared.Results The ineidence rate of bleeding in the observation group was higher than the control group,satisfaction degree was higher,and the SAS,SDS score,related knowledge,treatment compliance were all better than the control group,there were significant differences.Conclusions The effect of evidence-based care model in hemostasis by compression after renal biopsy is better.It can significantly reduce the incidence of adverse circumstances and improve the negative emotional state of patients.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis of renal tubule epithelium after cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CPR)in rats and its possible mechanism.Methods Cardiac arrest was induced by asphyxiation(succinylcholine)and ice-cold 0.5 mol/l KCL in rats,and resuscitation started at 5 minutes after arrest.Forty-eight male SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups:sham(control group);after cardiopulmonary resuscitation rats were allowed to reperfuse spontaneously for 3 hours,6 hours,12 hours,24 hours and 48 hours(n=8,per group).The apoptosis of renal tubule epithelium was assessed by TUNEL.Fas and Bcl-2 protein expression were observed using immunocytochemistry in every group.Results The apoptosis of renal tubule epithelium was singnificantly increased at 3 hours after resuscitation and peaked at 24 hours(P

Objective To set up the quality control standard for Leaf of Chinese Holly; To provide basis for the utilization and development of Leaf of Chinese Holly.Methods Ten batches of Leaf of Chinese Holly samples from different habitats were collected, and the properties were described. The crosscutting and powder of leaf was under microscopic identification. Chlorogenic acid was set as reference substance to conduct thin-layer identification. Moisture, total ash, and acid-insoluble ash of the 10 batches were detected. HPLC was used to detect chlorogenic acid in Leaf of Chinese Holly.Results The properties and microscopic identification were described. Thin-layer chromatography method for chlorogenic acid in Leaf of Chinese Holly was formulated. Check items temporarily required that the moisture in Leaf of Chinese Holly should be less than 13%, total ash less than 13%, and acid-insoluble ash less than 5%. Content determination method for chlorogenic acid in Leaf of Chinese Holly was confirmed. It temporarily required that the content of chlorogenic acid should be more than 0.60%.Conclusion The established method can be used for the formulation of quality control of Leaf of Chinese Holly.

Objective To evaluate the impact of low-dose 131I therapy and high-dose 131I therapy on the clinical outcome in PTC patients coexisting with Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT).Methods A total of 140 non-distant metastatic PTC patients (16 males,124 females,age range:16-66 years) from July 2010 to December 2014 were enrolled in this retrospective study.Patients concurrent with HT (n=84,group A) were divided into low-dose group (1 110 MBq,n=56,group A1) and high-dose group (5 550 MBq,n=28,group A2) according to 131I ablation dose.Patients without HT (n =56) were enrolled as control group (group B),and received 1 110 MBq of 131I.The thyroid remnant ablation outcome was evaluated according to 131I diagnostic whole-body scan (Dx-WBS),neck ultrasonography (US),serum Tg and TgAb level 6-8 months after 131I ablation therapy.The successful ablation rates were compared by x2 test.Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test was also used.Results There were no significant differences among the 3 groups in terms of both clinicopathological features and postoperative remnant thyroid (H:0.203-2.944,x2:0.271-0.970,all P＞0.05).When negative Dx-WBS and US were deemed as successful ablation criterion,complete ablation rate was found significantly more in group B (94.6％,53/56) than that in group A1 (82.1％,46/56;x2=4.264,P＜0.05),but no significant difference was found between group A2 (85.7％,24/28) and group A1 (x2 =0.318,P＞0.05).When combining negative sTg (sTg＜1 μg/L,TgAb＜46 kU/L) with the above 2 criterions to assess remnant ablation outcome,group B also had a higher successful rate to achieve complete ablation (85.7％,48/56) compared with group A1 (75.6％,34/45),but without statistical significance (x2=2.978,P＞0.05),and no difference was observed between group A2 (12/15) and group A1 (x2=1.320,P＞ 0.05).Conclusion Non-distant metastatic PTC patients coexisting with HT has undesirable 131I ablation outcome compared with those without HT,increasing 131I dose is unhelpful to enhance efficiency of remnant ablation for PTC patients with HT.

AIM: To study mitochondrial mass and structural protein changes in dexamethasone (DEX)-mediated mouse thymocyte apoptosis process. METHODS: DEX-induced mouse thymocyte apoptosis model was established. Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining was used to identify apoptotic and necrotic cells by flowcytometry, JC-1 staining was adopted to test mitochondrial membrane potential (△?_m), and cellular structural protein changes were studied with CFDA-SE staining. RESULTS: By 1?10~(-6) mol/L DEX stimulation, the apoptotic rate was 51.25%?5.51% and had significantly difference from control group (12.03%?2.00%); the necrotic rate in DEX group was 30.25%?3.67% and also had significantly difference from control group (10.11%?1.11%, P

Background and purpose: Neck lymph node metastasis, most of which presents in central neck compartment, is common in patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the number of dissected central neck lymph nodes and clinical outcome after radioactive iodine (RAI) ablation in pN1a PTC with no more than 5 lymph nodes involvement. Methods: A total of 167 PTC patients who had 1-5 proven metastatic lymph nodes according to postoperative pathological diagnosis were retrospectively analyzed, all of whom underwent total or near total thyroidectomy and central lymph node dissection. After a median follow-up period of 26 months, the clinical outcome of each patient was evaluated as excellent response (ER), indeterminate response (IDR), bio-chemical incomplete response (BIR), or structural incomplete response (SIR) according to the new American Thyroid As-sociation guidelines. The accumulative ER rate (ERn) was calculated in patients with different numbers of dissected lymph nodes (ERn was defined as the proportion of patients who achieved ER with the dissected lymph node number of ≤n). The relationship between the number of dissected central neck lymph nodes and ERn were investigated. Results: As the increase in the number of dissected central neck lymph nodes,there was also an overall increase in ERn, especially when n rose from 1 to 10. The values of ER1, ER5, ER10 and ER30 were 25.0%, 66.7%, 74.7% and 79.1%, respectively. Besides, the proportion of patients who achieved ER was higher in those with 10 or more dissected lymph nodes than in those with less than 10 (85.7% vs 73.3%, P=0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, both the dissected central lymph node number of ≥10 (OR=2.720, 95%CI: 1.052-7.033, P=0.039) and the level of preablation stimulated thyroglobulin (OR=0.955, 95%CI: 0.926-0.984, P=0.003) were shown to contribute independently to ER. Conclusion: As the increas-ing number of dissected central neck lymph nodes, the percentage of pN1a PTC patients that achieved ER after RAI ablation generally rises. In pN1a PTC patients with no more than 5 lymph nodes involvement, a central compartment dissection with 10 or more lymph nodes might help them achieve ER after RAI ablation.
