Objective To summarize the experience of emergency microsurgery under the guidance of computed tomographic arteriography (CTA) for treatment of Hunt-Hess high grade intracranial aneurysm rupture.Methods The clinical data of 34 patients with Hunt-Hess high grade intracranial aneurysm rupture were retrospectively analyzed.The CT and CTA were detected in the patients on admission.Emergency operation were all performed.The temporal occlusion of the parent artery,removed intracranial hematoma and clipping intracranial aneurysms by microsurgical techniques.All patients were removed skull.Results The prognosis was assessed by Glasgow outcome score (GOS),17 cases were recovered well,10 cases were mildly disabled,3 cases were severely disabled and 4 cases died.Conclusions CTA can be used as the primary diagnosis of intracranial aneurysm imaging methods under the emergency condition.The patients with HuntHess high grade intracranial aneurysm rupture should make positive surgical treatment to save live.
2.Assessment of Removal Efficiency of Bacteria by Water Purifiers Using Different Filter Materials
Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(05):-
Objective To assess the removal efficiency of bacteria by water purifiers using different purifying materials. Methods The bacterial removal effectiveness of 7 types of commercially available water purifiers was tested using the National Standard Methods. Results Apart from one type using a single activated-carbon filtering material, the bacteria removal effectiveness of the other 6 types of water purifiers met the requirements of water purification device according to the rated treated-water-capacity conditions. Conclusion The removal efficiency of bacteria by water purifiers made from different filtering materials was different. Bacteria elimination effectiveness of a single-filtering material was lower and it is inversely proportional to its water-treating capacity. Water purifiers using multiple-purifying materials gave better removal efficiency of bacteria.

Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) play a critical role in homeostasis and wound repair of skin tissue. Since ESCs are rare (fewer than 10% in total basal cells population) and lack specific markers,it is difficult to isolate and identify them from keratinocytes. Currently ,isolation of ESCs was achieved mainly by fast adhesion of ESCs to extracelluar matrix or flow cytometry. Several specific markers have been found in recent years for the identification of ESCs.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of inhaling magnesium sulfate on infants with acute bronc-hiolitis. Methods Ninty infants with bronchiolitis were divided into 3 groups randomly and received either magnesium sulfate infusion inhalation or intravenous injection or normal saline inhalation respectively. The change of parameters of each group were observed and compared. Results Magnesium sulfate inhalation group and intravenous injection group were superior to control group in terms of the improvement of blood gas, clinical scores, continuous time of symptoms,signs, hospital days and clinical total efficiency(P

Objective To investigate the clinical features of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) caused gastrointestinal bleeding in the elderly.Methods We performed a retrospective analysis ofNSAIDs caused gastrointestinal bleeding with 308 cases admitted to Department of Gastroenterology,The Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University.Patients were divided into elderly group(≥65 years,n =208) and young group (< 60 years,n =100) to make a comparative analysis of two group differences in clinical characteristics.Results The NSAIDs in the elderly taking were mainly Aspirin (55.8 % (116/208)),which was significantly more frequent than that of young group (37.0% (37/100),x2 =9.517,P < 0.05).There was no significant difference on the blood routine and coagulation between the two groups (P > 0.05).The recent bleeding rate of the elderly group (21.2% (44/208)) was lower than the young group (63.0% (63/100))(x2 =52.161,P <0.05).The two groups had no significant difference on the history of uleer and Hp infection (P > 0.05).Conclusion The clinical characteristics of NSAIDs caused gastrointestinal bleeding on the elderly were different with young or middle-aged.This infers that elderly patients need individualized treatment.

Basal rate verification is the process to find and verify the basal rate of continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSⅡ) required for basal glucose metabolism.In the present study,five cases of brittle diabetes were treated by CSⅡ with Insulin Lispro.After doses were adjusted to reach steady blood glucose levels,basal rate verifying tests were carried out.The results showed that the overall level and stability of blood glucose were improved markedly after CSⅡ.Before and after the verification of the basal rate,there was no significant difference in CSⅡ total doses.Basal rates decreased from 50% of total to 30% (P<0.05),and boluses increased to 70% (P<0.05).The basal rates during lunch and supper time were reduced by half (P<0.05),the boluses of lunch and supper were increased 1.5 times (P<0.05),and square waves were needed to control postprandial blood glucose.These results suggest that the CSⅡ could smoothly control blood glucose level in brittle diabetes without basal rate verification.However,the implementation of the verification could better determine the basal rates for basal glucose metabolism,and thus help to identify diet-related boluses.

Background:The incidence of ulcerative colitis (UC)in developed countries is higher than that in developing countries,which may be related with westernized lifestyle,especially high animal protein and low complex carbohydrate diet. With the increased high fat and meat intake,synthesis and secretion of bile acid in liver is also increased,which may have an impact on the occurrence of UC. Aims:To investigate the expressions of farnesoid X receptor (FXR)and G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 5 (TGR5)in patients with UC. Methods:Thirty patients with active UC from January 2013 to June 2016 at the Affiliated Jiangning Hospital of Nanjing Medical University were enrolled,and 30 healthy subjects were served as controls. Expressions of FXR and TGR5 were determined by immunohistochemistry. Results:Compared with control group,expression of FXR was significantly decreased in UC patients (4. 63 ± 2. 07 vs. 6. 91 ± 2. 62,P =0. 00),however,no significant difference in expression of TGR5 was found between the two groups (6. 70 ± 2. 90 vs. 6. 11 ± 2. 44,P = 0. 40). Expression of FXR was significantly increased in right hemicolon colitis than in left hemicolon colitis (P < 0. 05). Conclusions:There is a significant decrease in FXR in active UC patients,indicating that FXR may have some role in the pathogenesis of UC,however,TGR5 may have no obvious effect in the pathogenesis of UC.

Objective This article was designed to observe the effects of astragalus polysaccharides (APS) on glucose and lipid metabolism, and on expressions of proxisome proliferator activated receptors-α (PPAR-α) and its downstream genes in diabetic hamsters cardiomyopathy. Methods Forty-five hamsters were divided into 3 groups randomly: normal control group (15 normal hamsters), diabetic control group [15 streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic hamsters], and astragalus polysaccharides (APS)-therapy group (15 STZ-induced diabetic hamsters administered with APS 2 g/kg per day orally for 10 weeks). The levels of insulin, C-peptide, myocardial enzymes, glycosylated serum protein (GSP) and lipoprotein of all hamsters were measured. The ultrastructure of myocardium was studied, and the gene and protein expressions of PPAR-α, FATP and ACS were also detected by fluorescent quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot. Results It was shown that Compared with DM group, the levels of GSP, myocardial enzymes and lipoprotein of hamsters in APS-therapy group were lower, the myocardial ultrastructure of hamsters in APS-therapy group was well-protected, and the gene and protein expression of PPAR-α, FATP and ACS of hamsters in APS-therapy group were higher. Conclusions APS is partly effective in treating diabetic cardiomyopathy.
