1.Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin and acute kidney injury in children
International Journal of Pediatrics 2015;42(5):495-498
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is the most common and serious complication in the intensive care unit.The mortality of AKI is still as high as 60% in critically ill children because of lack sensitive and special early predictive biomarker.Neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is one of the most promising early diagnose and predict biomarkers for AKI,produced and secreted by kidney tubule cells at low levels,but increasing dramatically in the urine and serum after ischemic, sepsis, or nephrotoxic injury of the kidneys.This review is to summarize the role of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin as an early biomarker of AKI with different clinical settings in children.
2.Biological targeted treatment of refractory / relapsed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
Journal of Leukemia & Lymphoma 2016;25(5):317-320
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the aggressive non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.Rituximab in combination with chemotherapy had improved the outcomes,however,a substantial proportion of these patients transfer into refractory or eventually relapsed lymphoma after using R-CHOP as a front-line treatment regimen with poor prognosis.With the research development on DLBCL and its related gene,it is confirmed that gene biological targeted therapy can improve the prognosis of patients with refractory /relapsed DLBCL (RR-DLBCL).Recently,some new targeted therapies become research hotspots.This review will focus on recent development and future direction of biological targeted treatment in RR-DLBCL.

Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2011;20(4):371-375
Objective To investigate the influence of inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) on the ratio of PaO2/FiO2(P/F) during the implementation of lung protective ventilation strategy in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) in order to unravel its clinical significance. Method This was a prospective study of 16 selected patients with ARDS treated with mechanical ventilation ( MV ) to get ratio of P/F in range of 100 to 200 by PEEP≥5 cmH2O and high inspired oxygen. After lung recruitment maneuvers by BiPAP with high pressure (PH) of 40 cmH2O for40 s, the MV was maintained the basic requirement for stabilizing the patients for 30 minutes. A series of FiO2 were set at fractions of 0.5,0.6,0.7,0.8,0.9 and 1in random sequence, and the changes of respiratory mechanics, blood gas and hemodynamics under the different concentrations of FiO2 were analyzed by using SPSS version 13.0 software. Results ( 1 ) The ratio of P/F increased as FiO2 increased, and it's significant as FiO2 increased to 0.7 or above. As the fractions of FiO2 were set at 0.5 and 1. O, the ratios of P/F changed in 24.70% ± 23.36% respectively. ( 2 ) Of them,6 patients ( 37.5% ) treated with FiO2 set at 0.5 had the ratio of P/F < 200, and the fraction of FiO2 was increased to 1.0, the P/F > 200. (3) FiO2 and Qs/Qt were negatively correlated ( r = - 0.390, P = O. 027 ),the higher inspired oxygen fraction, the lower shunt. When the fractions of FiO2 were set at 0.5 and 1.0 ,there was a positive correlation between △Qs/Qt and △P/F( r = 0.82, P = 0.005 ). Conclusions The inspired oxygen fraction affects the ratio of P/F, which may be resulted from shunt and it may influence the diagnosis of ARDS.

9.Peripheral blood leukocytes and ischemic stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2016;24(5):459-462
Atherosclerosis is the pathological basis of ischemic stroke. Peripheral blood leukocytes are involved in the occurrence and progression of atherosclerosis and cause vascular endothelial injury. A series of changes of peripheral immune cel take place after acute ischemic stroke and cause inflammatory cel infiltrating into the brain tissue. The elevated leukocyte count is closely associated with the occurrence and prognosis of coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Studies have also shown that the elevated leukocyte count may influence the occurrence of ischemic stroke, neurological deficit, recurrence, and death. This article reviews the relationship between peripheral blood leukocytes and ischemic stroke.
