Objective To investigate early renal damage of chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients and the risk factors related to their renal function. Methods CHB patients who visited the second people’s hospital but did not receive systemic treatment were enrolled in our study. Those who visited for general check-up with no hepatic findings during the same period were selected as control group. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of all the participants were estimated by simplified MDRD equation and CKD-EPI equation (designated as M-eGFR and C-eGFR respectively). Influence factors of eGFR were statistically analyzed. Results In the total 528 cases in CHB group, 88 (16.67%) and 62 (11.74%) suffered declined M-eGFR and C-eGFR respectively. By contrast, 10 (8.77%) and 6 (5.26%) cases in the total 114 cases in control group present declined M-eGFR and C-eGFR ac?cordingly. Percentages of renal function impairment, estimated by both M-eGFR and C-eGFR, were higher in the CHB group than those in control group. The difference was statistically significant (χ2=4.518, P<0.05;χ2=4.156, P<0.05). Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that age, HBsAg and body mass index (BMI) were risk factors of M-eGFR while age, HBsAg, gender and serum albumin were risk factors of C-eGFR. On the other hand, HBV-DNA and HBeAg were not risk factors for M-eGFR or C-eGFR. Conclusion HBV infection can lead to early renal damage. Age and HBsAg are main risk factors of renal function impairment. Therefore, renal function should be scrutinized in CHB patients.

The new ultrasound device, automated breast ultrasound (ABUS), has the advantages of repeatable reading of standardized whole breast images, and can separate ultrasound scanning and diagnosis. ABUS is more suitable for breast ultrasound training. This study compared the breast ultrasound imaging training model with ABUS diagnosis practice as the core and the traditional breast ultrasound imaging training model with handhold ultrasound operation and diagnosis as the core, and found that the new training model with ABUS diagnosis practice as the core had a short training period. The diagnostic level of doctors have improved rapidly, and the new training model could efficiently train more technically qualified ultrasound doctors for breast disease.

Objective To establish a digital segmentational data set of larynx based on Chinese visible human (CVH). Methods Magnetic lasso and polygon tools of Photoshop were used to segment the small organs and structures of larynx of CVH to establish the segmentational data set of larynx. After conversion of the image format, the segmentational structures were extracted automatically with Thresholding Method and presented 3-D visualized, and then were checked up by its result of 3D reconstruction with Amira 4.1 software. Results Many small structures of larynx were segmentated, such as laryngeal cartilage, laryngeal muscles, vocal cords and so on. Then the segmentational data set of larynx based on CVH was established, which can be used to 3-D reconstruction accurately. Conclusion The segmentational data set of larynx is accurate and integrated, which is helpful to establish the elaborate model of larynx and can provide the method of color image segmentation.

RESULTS: The linear range of pamidronate disodium was 7.2～16.8?g?mL-1(r=0.999 8,n=9),the recovery rate was 100.11%(RSD=0.7%, n=9). CONCLUSIONS: The established method is simple and accurate.

BACKGROUND:In mass spectrometry analysis, the same protein in different samples labeled with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation presents the same mass-to-charge ratio, while in the tandem mass spectrometry analysis, the ion signal shows different mass-to-charge ratio (114-121). Thus the quantitative information of the related proteins can be obtained. OBJECTIVE:To establish the protein spectrum of spinal cord tissue differences proteins after acute spinal cord injury, and to explore the spinal differential protein expression on the molecular level using isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation combined with LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry technique. METHODS:Eight Sprague Dawley rats were selected to establish the acute spinal cord injury models using Al en’s method. The rats were randomly divided into 0 hour spinal cord injury group and 8 hours spinal cord injury group, four rats in each group. The spinal cord tissues were col ected after injury, and the spinal cord tissue differences proteins were analyzed with isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation technique after acute spinal cord injury. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Total y 220 differential y expressed proteins were identified in this research, the number of up-regulation proteins was 116 and the number of down-regulation proteins was 104. There were 12 differential proteins related to neural regeneration, and among the 12 proteins, there were seven up-regulation proteins and five down-regulation proteins. The various identified differential proteins and significantly expressed nerve growth factors in this experiment can be used as the biomarkers of acute spinal cord injury or used as the strong evidence for the clinical management and monitoring of the injury process and target therapy of acute spinal cord injury, as wel as the effect evaluation.

Objective To investigate the role of titanium plate fixation for sternum closure after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG) in elderly patients.Methods A total of 120 elderly patients who accepted OPCABG were randomly divided into two groups.The control group (n =60) received wire to fix the sternum,and the experimental group (n=60) received titanium plate combined with wire to fix the sternum.The chest closure time,the rate of postoperative incision pain,the rate of sternal dehiscence and sternal re-fixation between two groups were observed and recorded.Results The rates of postoperative incision pain,sternal dehiscence,sternal re-fixation was lower in experimental group than in control group [11.7％(7/60) vs.38.3％(23/60),3.3％(7/60) vs.13.3％(8/60),1.7％(1/60) vs.11.7％(7/60),x2 =11.378,3.927,4.821 respectively all P＜0.05].The chest closure time was longer in experimental group than in control group [(39±5)min vs.(30±2) min,x2 =13.386,P＜0.05].Conclusions Titanium fixation plate combined with wire for sternum closure can increase the stability of sternum fixation,reduce the postoperative pain and sternal dehiscence,and then decrease the risk of sternal re-fixation,but delay sternal closure of OPCABG in the elderly.

Objective To explore the effect of pleural cavity integrity on respiratory system after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG),through comparing the respiratory complication after OPCABG.Methods One hundred and two patients were accepted OPCABG,among whom 49 patients' pleural cavities were opened (open group) and 53 patients' pleural cavities were closed (close group).The ventilation time,intensive care unit time,pleural effusion,the rate of atelectasis and respiratory failure after operation were compared between two groups.Results The ventilation time and intensive care unit time in open group were (40.3 ± 4.8) h and (78.3 ± 10.8) h,in open group were (28.6 ± 6.8) h and (54.8 ± 6.1) h.The ventilation time and intensive care time in open group were significantly longer than those in close group(P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05).The pleural effusion in open group was (800.0 ± 60.5) ml,in close group was (350.0 ± 28.6) ml.The pleural effusion in open group was significantly higher than that in close group (P ＜ 0.01).The rate of postoperative atelectasis and respiratory failure in open group were 36.7％(18/49) and 38.8％(19/49),in close group were 15.1％(8/53) and 18.9％(10/53).The rate of postoperative atelectasis and respiratory failure in open group were significantly higher than those in close group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusions OPCABG is the operation in mediastinum.To avoid pleural cavity opened in OPCABG can reduce the incidence of postoperative respiratory complication.
