1.Rhabdomyolosis and its pathogenesis
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2012;3(1):11-15
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyolysis may cause severe damage to the human body because of acute renal failure, fatal heart rhythm disturbances, hypovolemic shock, disturbances of electrolyte balance, metabolic acidosis, hyperthermia, disseminated intravascular coagulation, etc. Drugs and toxins are the most common factors for the disease. This article aimed to review the prognosis of rhabdomyolysis. DATA SOURCES: Based on the reported studies of cell and molecular biology, we reviewed the clinical presentations, laboratory findings, and mechanisms of rhabdomyolysis in the Pubmed. RESULTS: The clinical symptoms of rhabdomyolysis were dependent on the severity of the condition and whether kidney failure develops. Since the necrosis and dissolution of muscle cells, entocytes such as myoglobin, creatine phosphokinase (CPK), electrolytes, proteins and non-protein substances were released into the plasma, the detection of the entocytes may contribute to the early diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. CONCLUSION: Despite the etiology of the disease is multifactorial, the potential causes of rhabdomyolysis share the same pathophysiological pathway involving an increase in intracel ular calcium.

Neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS)is the most critical disease in neonatal pe-riod.Studies have proved that genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of NRDS.More and more proteins and genes which are associated with NRDS are researched.This article mainly reviewed the re-search of surfactant protein,ATP-binding cassette transporters A3,mannose-binding lectin,thyroid transcrip-tion factor-1and NRDS.

Objective To study the perioperative nursing methods in patients with OSAHS and type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods From March 2009 to December 2010,a total of 46 patients with OSAHS and type 2 diabetes mellitus were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group with 23 cases in each group.Conventional care was given to the control group,while the experimental group received systematic,phased and individualized nursing.The sleep quality before and after the operation was compared.The oropharynx wound healing and possible complications,pain were observed after operation.Results In the control group,there was one patient with bleeding during operation,one patient happened blood lost after operation and 2 patients had postoperative infection.The hyperglycemia was found in 3 patients and hypoglycemia occurred in 2 patients.But in the experimental group,all of the patients did not suffer complication.The scores of sleep quality on the day before surgery were significantly higher than those scores on admission,and the scores on discharge from hospital were significantly lower than those scores on admission.There were statistical differences.The scores of the experimental group were significantly improved compared to those of the control group.The score of pain was the highest at the day of surgery,and then gradually decreased.The score of pain of the experimental group was significantly lower than that of the control group,and the difference was statistically significant.Conclusions This comprehensive nursing method during operation period for patients with OSAHS and type 2 diabetes mellitus not only can reduce risk of postoperative complication,but also can improve operation efficacy,quality of nursing and life quality of patients as well as can speed recovery.It approved that this standardized,systematic nursing method during the whole period is practical and effective in OSAHS and type 2 diabetes mellitus treatment and care.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of pre-malignant and malignant polyps in postmenopausal patients and to evaluate the diagnositic value of hysteroscopy in this disease. Methods From June 2005 to October 2014, 403 postmenopausal patients with polyps were treated in the Gynecologic Minimally Invasive Center, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. There were 27 patients including 22 patients with pre-malignant and 5 patients with malignant polyps. All malignant lesions were endometrioid adenocarcinoma. The clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Based on pathology, the diagnostic value of hysteroscopy was evaluated. Results (1) Clinical characteristics: there were 27 cases with pre-malignant and malignant polyps (group 1) and 376 cases with benign polyps (group 2). Compared the two groups, the average age was (60 ± 8) vs (58 ± 6) years old, the period of menopause was (9.8 ± 8.1) vs (8.3 ± 6.9) years. Thirteen cases (48.1%, 13/27) in group 1 and 159 cases (42.3%, 159/376) in group 2 had clinical symptoms including postmenopausal bleeding and vaginal discharge. Twelve cases (44.4%, 12/27) in group 1 and 140 cases (37.2%, 140/376) in group 2 were with hypertension. Five cases (18.5%, 5/27) in group 1 and 43 cases (11.4%, 43/376) in group 2 were with diabetes. The measures above were no significant differences(P>0.05)(2) Ultrasound features:the average thick of endometrium in group 1 and group 2 were respectively (1.3±0.7) and (0.8±0.4) cm, which had statistical significance (t=4.98, P=0.001). (3) Hysteroscopic diagnosis:the average diameters of polyp in group 1 and group 2 were respectively (2.4 ± 1.0) and (1.6 ± 1.0) cm, which had statistical significance (t=2.93, P=0.004). Six cases in group 1 were diagnosed by hysteroscopy including 4 cases of malignant polyp and 2 cases of pre-malignant polyp. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and the accuracy were 22.2%(6/27), 100.0%(376/376), 100.0%(6/6), 94.7%(376/397) and 94.8%(382/403), respectively. Conclusions Pre-malignant and malignant endometrial polyps are more common in the subjects with the larger diameters and the thicker endometrium. All polyps should be under complete resection by hysteroscopy and through pathology examination.

Objective To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms of surfactant protein C(SP-C)gene and respiratory distress syndrome(RDS)in the Han nationality newborns in Inner Mongolia and whether there is a mutation occurs on SP-C gene exon 4 and 5.Methods One hundred newborns with RDS(case group)and 100 newborns without RDS(control group)were selected.PCR gene analysis was used to establish the genotype and allele frequencies of exon 4 (T138N)and 5 (S186N)on SP-C.Results In the Han nationality newborns of Inner Mongolia region,there was no mutation on SP-C gene exon 4 and 5.Exon 4(T138N)on SP-C could be checked out three genotypes:namely AA,AC and CC.The genetic polymorphisms of exon 4 on SP-C were not statistically different between the case group and the control group(χ2 ﹦0.744,P ﹦0.689).Besides,exon 5(S186N)on SP-C could also be checked out three genotypes:namely AA,AG and GG.The genetic polymorphisms of exon 5 on SP-C were also not statistically different between the case group and the control group(χ2 ﹦0.770,P ﹦0.681 ).Conclusion There is no mutation on SP-C gene exon 4 and 5.The genetic polymorphism of exon 4 and 5 on SP-C displays no signifi-cant correlation with RDS of the Han nationality newborns in Inner Mongolia.
