Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure (Helmet-CPAP)for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.Methods 120 adult patients in ICU from March 2014 to July 2015,who were after cardiac surgery,were enrolled.These patients who suffered hypoxemia within 48 hours after extubation,defined as that PaO2/FiO2 with oxygen mask could not reach 200,were divided into two groups.In the control group high concentration oxygen therapy with mask was delivered,while helmet-CPAP was delivered in the experimental group.Treatment duration was 6 hours.Results Helmet-CPAP significantly improved PaO2/FiO2 (144.35 ± 24.43 vs.201.35 ± 52.97,P < 0.05) and left ventricular ejection fractions(0.5383 ± 0.0844 vs.0.5540 ± 0.0844,P < 0.05).Breathing rate (22.60±5.08 vs.18.53 ±4.13,P<0.05),heart rate(102.72±17.9 vs.95.15 ±13.79,P<0.05)and shock index (0.85 ± 0.35 vs.0.75 ± 0.15,P < 0.05) were significantly lower.The rate of using mechanical ventilation (6.67% vs.28.33%,P < 0.05) and length of ICU stay[41.0(25.0,67.5) hours vs.49.5 (32.5,90.8) hours,P < 0.05] was significantly less than control group.Conclusion Helmet delivered continuous positive airway pressure is an effective and safe treatment for hypoxemia in airway extubated patients after cardiac surgery.

Objective To analyze the significant impact factors of postoperative hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy.Method The clinical data of 154 patients who underwent pancreatieoduodeneetomy from Jan.2009 to Jun.2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Results The incidence of postoperative hemorrhage was 10.4% (16/154).The mortality caused by this complication was 12.5% (2/16).Among these patients,intra-abdominal hemorrhage occurred in seven patients,and gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in nine patients.One patient suffered from both these complications.There were five and two patients presenting with early or delayed intra-abdominal hemorrhage,respectively.Early and delayed gastrointestinal hemorrhage occurred in three and six patients,respec tively.Statistical analysis showed that infection (P=0.002,P< 0.01) and pancreatic fistula (P=0.048,P<0.05) are significantly associated with postoperative hemorrhage.Conclusions Postoperative hemorrhage after pancreaticoduodenectomy is a severe complication.Adequate hemostasis and prevention of pancreatic fistula and infection are the key points in reducing postoperative hemorrhage.Proper treatments should be used according to the site,type of onset and severity of hemorrhage.

Objective To detect the antibodies against recombinant chlamydial plasmid-encoded protein 3(rPgp3),chlamydial protease-like activity factor(rCPAF),Ct143 encoded protein(rCT143), Ct101 encoded protein(rCT101),Ct694 encoded protein(rCT694),Ct813 encoded protein(rCT813), Chlamydia membrane protein A(rIncA),Ct875 encoded protein(rCT875),major outer membrane protein (rMOMP)and heat shock protein 60( rHsp60)in serum samples collected form patients with urogenital Chlamydia trachomatis(Ct)infection and to evaluate the antigenicity of those proteins. Methods The re-combinant plasmids expressing the 10 proteins and a blank plasmid were transformed into E. coli BL21 strains,respectively. The transformed E. coli BL21 strains were induced by isopropyl β-D-1-thiogalactopyr-anoside(IPTG)to express recombinant proteins. The glutathione pre-coated 96-well ELISA plates were coa-ted with lysates. Serum samples were collected from 50 patients with Ct infection and 10 patients without Ct infection. ELISA was performed to detect the antibodies against 10 recombinant proteins. Results The anti-bodies against rPgp3,rCPAF,rCT143,rCT101,rCT694,rCT875,rCT813,rMOMP,rIncA and rHsp60 proteins were respectively detected in 44 cases(88% ),38 cases(76% ),37 cases(74% ),36 cases (72% ),33 cases(66% ),31 cases(62% ),30 cases(60% ),26 cases(52% ),24 cases(48% )and 17 cases(34% )out of 50 serum samples. No antibodies against 10 recombinant proteins were detected in the serum samples collected from patients without Ct infection. Conclusion The rPgp3 protein showed the strongest antigenicity among all of the studied proteins,followed by rCPAF and rCT143 proteins. The rHsp60 protein showed the lowest antigenicity.

BACKGROUND:Stromal cel-derived factor-1 (SDF-1) is one of the most powerful chemokines in myocardial infarction region and plays a particularly pivotal role in the homing of stem cels to an injured myocardium and promoting angiogenesis. On the other hand the microbubble and acoustics active substances carrying targetable ligands can be prepared into targeted ultrasound contrast agents that can be combined with living cels used for molecular imaging. The key of ultrasonic molecular imaging is to find imaging targets, and to successfuly prepare targeted ultrasound contrast agent which can be combined with the imaging target specificaly and efficiently. OBJECTIVE:To prepare and evaluate targeted microbubble contrast agents with SDF-1 monoclonal antibody. METHODS:Targeted microbubble contrast agent with SDF-1 monoclonal antibody was prepared using the biotin-streptavidin method. The physiochemical properties of targeted microbubble contrast agent were evaluated by appearance, pH, particle diameter, optical and fluorescence microscope and flow cytometry test. Four minipigs underwent ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery to complete the establishment of acute myocardial infarction model, and another two minipigs were subject to thoracotomy but no ligation of the coronary artery. Then, al animals were injected with microbubble contrast agents. The stability of microbubbles was assessed by immunofluorescence testin vivo. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:SDF-1 and microbubbles were combined by biotin-streptavidin method.In vitro appearance of the contrast agent was translucent yelow or green, and stratified after standing. pH vaule was 7.02±0.12 for non-targeted contrast agent and 6.10±0.19 for targeted microbubble contrast agent. Under the fluorescence microscope, the distribution and size of targeted microbubbles were uniform, and the microbubbles were surrounded by bright and ring shaped green fluorescence that had no changes after highly shaking. The diameter of microbubbles was (2 422.62±238.82) nm after carrying the SDF-1 antibody. Flow cytometry results showed that the carrying rate of targeted contrast agents was stable in different periods.In vivo test showed that targeted microbubbles gathered in vascular endothelial cel surface after acute myocardial infarction. These findings indicate that the targeted microbubble contrast agent carrying SDF-1 monoclonal antibody prepared by biotin-streptavidin method can be combined with vascular endothelial cels, and the binding rate is high and stablein vitro.

ObjectiveTo survey the status of Helicobacter pylori (HP)infection in cholangiocarcinoma,and its relation to clinical and pathological parameters and prognosis. MethodsHP infection in 80 cholangiocarcinoma samples and 30 controls was detected by PCR,in those with positive results the expression of Cag A and its subtypes of Vac A sla,m1 and m2 was further tested by PCR.ResultsChi-square test showed that the detection rate of in HP ( + ) in cholangiocarcinoma group is 71%,higher than 20% in control group.The positive cases of CagA and VacA sla,m1,m2 in cholangiocarcinoma group was respectively 30,40,5 and 43 cases.HP infection in cholangiocarcinoma was correlated with the location of the tumor(x2 =27.580,P < 0.05 ). MultivariateLogisticanalysisshowedthat cholangiocarcinoma is over 10 times more likely in HP ( + ) patients than HP ( - ) ( OR =10.531 ).Cox regression analyses showed that the infection of HP(HR =8.105,P =0.032),the staging of TNM( Ⅱ/ⅢHR=9.141,P=0.040,Ⅳ HR =29.071,P=0.040) and surgery (HR=9.531,P =0.015) are all independent prognostic factors of cholangiocarcinoma. Life table analyses showed HP infection negatively affects the survival time of cholangiocarcinoma after a surgery ( u =10.074,P =0.002),and the median survival time is 7.25 months shorter than HP( - ) patients. ConclusionsIt is common that HP infection complicating cholangiocarcinoma,usually with the genotype of VacA sla/m2,HP infection is a risk factor for cholangiocarcinoma,and negatively affects oatients survival after surgery.

A canthopanax Senticosus , a vulnerable species, was one of the major government-protected plants. This paper deals with the major reason for wildlife resources from biological standpoints, which are sexual propagation with less capability , vegetative propagation being damaged due to leaves , roots and rhizomes being gathered un-reasonable. Raising wildlife resources, semi-wild extensive management, and reasonable gatheration will be an important means for protection of wildlife resources in light of local conditions.
