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 observe the effect of low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with astraga-lus injection in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy.Methods From January 2013 to December 2014,78 patients with stage III diabetic nephropathy in our hospital were enrolled into the study.They were randomly divided into con-trol group(41 cases) and treatment group(37 cases).The control group received general therapy,such as low protein diets,compound alpha keto acid,insulin,irbesartan,simvastatin.The treatment group was treated with low molecular weight heparin calcium and astragalus injection on the basis of general therapy.The changes of urinary albumin and 24 hours urinary protein after treatment in the two groups were observed.Results After treatment,the negative rate of urinary micro albumin in the treatment group ( 75.68%) was significantly higher than that of the control group (29.27%)(χ2 =16.765,P<0.01).24 hour urinary protein of the treatment group[(176.2 ±82.3)mg/24h]was significantly lower than that of the control group[(223.8 ±87.8)mg/24h](t=2.471,P<0.05).Conclusion Low molecular weight heparin calcium combined with astragalus injection can reduce the proteinuria of diabetic nephropa-thy,it is an effective intervention therapy for early diabetic nephropathy.

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 analyze TORCH infection situation in 6 027 cases of pregnant women,puerperae and neonates.Methods The TORCH IgM and IgG was detected by using ELISA for 6 027 cases of pregnant women,puerperae and neonates,and the positive rates of the antibodies to variant TORCH pathogens were analyzed.Results The positive rates of HSVⅠ-IgM,HSVⅡ-IgM,RV-IgM,TOXO-IgM and CMV-IgM were 0.02%,0.02%,0.12%,0.12% and 0.20% respectively.The positive rates of HSVⅠ-IgG,HSVⅡ-IgM,RV-IgM,TOXO-IgM,and CMV-IgM were 63.32%,13.31%,52.83%,12.68% and 58.57% respective-ly.Positive rate of CMV-IgM in neonates was higher than that in pregnant women,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).There were totally 28 cases of neonataes detected with acute CMV infection.Conclusion TORCH screening in pregnant women,puerperae and neonates helps the detection of infection disease in perinatal period.
