Objective Compare and analyze the serum proteomics data of healthy human and patients with bronchial asthma(both before and after ICS treatment).Then explore the possible pathogenesis and therapeutic targets.MethodsSelect 102 patients with chronic persistent asthma who were diagnosed and treated in our hospital during December 2015 to December 2016, and recruit 102 cases of healthy volunteers over the same period.The patients were treated with conventional ICS, after 8 weeks of treatment, compare and analyzethe serum proteomics data of healthy people and both patients with bronchial asthma (both before and after treatment).ResultsAfter treatment, patients with asthma still got poorer lung function than normal ones (P<0.05);at the same time, all of the serum HSP70, Eotaxin, MMP-9 of pre-treatment patients were higher than healthy individuals (P<0.05), although they had declined after treatment (P<0.05), but still higher than normal people(P<0.05).ConclusionHuman serum HSP70, Eotaxin, MMP-9 may not only be involved in the pathogenesis progress of asthma, but the mechanisms of treating asthma with ICS.

To observed the Clinical effect of ropivacaine (Rop) of different concentration used for analgesia of labor, and ex plore the ideal concentration and dosage. Methods: 45 case s of ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ primiparae nearing labor were vandomly divided three groups rand omly (0.16% Rop group, 0.2% Rop group were assigned 15 cases). The analgesia, in which the cervical os had opened up to 2-3cm; the controlled group was not giv en the analgesia of labor. BP, SpO2, EKG, PETCO2, cerrical contraction , fetal cardiac sounds were monitored continuously in the perinatal analgesia pe riod. The analgesia effects were determined by giving a mark for pain by VAPS, motor nerve blockings were given amark by Bromage scale; Apgar scale were conduc ted 1-5 min after neonates were labored out. Results: The vital signs of three groups were stable in perinatal; the VAPS scale was lower s ignificantly in observed group than in controlled group; while the blocking freq uency and extent of motor nerve were highest from 0.2% Rop, which had light inhi bitory effect to cervical contraction, causing the dosage of oxytocin to increas e relatively; the NACS scale 24 h after labor was more increased significantly in observed group than controlled group. Conclusion: The un ique blockings to sense and motor were obviously separate, having no obvious eff ect to blood stream of uterus and placenta, being benificial to analgesia in per inatal. The 0.16% Rop was a more ideal local anaesthesia agent than 0.2% Rop .

AIM:To study the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-? (PPAR-?) signal transduction pathway in cardiac hypertrophy induced by high glucose and insulin (HGI). METHODS:The cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were used to observe the effect of fenofibrate (FF),a selective PPAR-? agonist,on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI (glucose at concentration of 25.5 mmol/L and insulin at 0.1 ?mol/L). The cardiomyocyte hypertrophic responses were assayed by measuring the cell surface area,protein content,and mRNA expression of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). The expressions of mRNA and protein were assayed by real -time PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS:In cultured cardiomyocytes,HGI induced profound change of hypertrophic morphology,the significant increase in cell surface area,protein content and ANF mRNA expression compared to those in vehicle control (P

AIM: To study the role of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) signal transduction pathway in cardiac hypertrophy induced by high glucose and insulin (HGI). METHODS: The cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were used to observe the effect of fenofibrate (FF), a selective PPAR-α agonist, on cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI (glucose at concentration of 25.5 mmol/L and insulin at 0.1 μmol/L). The cardiomyocyte hypertrophic responses were assayed by measuring the cell surface area, protein content, and mRNA expression of atrial natriuretic factor (ANF). The expressions of mRNA and protein were assayed by real -time PCR and Western blotting. RESULTS: In cultured cardiomyocytes, HGI induced profound change of hypertrophic morphology, the significant increase in cell surface area, protein content and ANF mRNA expression compared to those in vehicle control (P<0.01), but the expressions of PPAR-α mRNA and protein decreased significantly (P<0.05). At the same time, the expression of cyclooxygenase 2 (COX-2), one of the PPAR-α downstream effectors was obviously elevated (P<0.05). However, FF (0.1, 0.3 and 1 μmol/L) inhibited the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI in a concentration-dependent manner (P<0.01). FF at concentration of 0.3 μmol/L increased the expressions of PPAR-α in both mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05) and inhibited the expressions of COX-2 (P<0.05), which were abolished by MK 886 (0.3 μmol/L), a selective PPAR-α antagonist (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: PPAR-α signal transduction pathway and its downstream effector COX-2 might involve in the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by HGI.

Objective To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of immunosuppression regimens,postoperative complications,dead causes and risk factors of lung transplantation (LTx).Methods The immunosuppression regimens and clinical data of 100 patients with end-stage lung diseases receiving LTx in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed between Sept.2002 to Dec.2010.There were 72 patients subject to single LTx and 28 patients to bilateral LTx,amongst them 61 patients received LTx under circulation support,including 5 cases of cardopulmonary bypass (CPB) support and 56 cases of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.The immunosuppression regimens including Cyclosporin,mycophemolate Mofeil and corticosteroids were utilized in 53 recipients before the year of 2007,and Cyclosporin was switched to Tacrolimus in 47 patients after 2007.All the patients received Daclizumab or Basiliximab as immunosuppression induction regimens.Results The 1-,2-,3-and 5-year survival rate after LTx was 73.3％,61.6％,53.5％ and 40.7％ respectively.The mean survival time post-transplant in the patients who received Cyclosporin-based regimens and Tacrolimus-based regimens were (36.57 ± 3.44) months and (35.00 ± 2.33) months,repectively,with no significant differences (P＞0.05).The main causes of mortality included primary graft dysfunction (PGD),acute rejection (AR),bronchiolitis obliterans (BOS) and sepsis.The incidence of AR and BOS in Tacrolimus group was significantly lower than that in Cyclosporin grou (P ＜0.05),but the incidence of diabetes mellitus was significantly higher in Tacrolimus group.Analysis of Spearman rank correlation revealed that there was a direct correlation between the incidence of AR and BOS (r =0.340,P＜0.01).The use of circulation support,diagnosis of IPF,postoperative complications such as AR,BOS and infection were associated with decreased survival time postoperatively,in both univariate and multivariate proportional hazards regression models (P＜0.05).Conclusion Cyclosporin-and Tacrolimus-based regimens were both effective immunosuppression strategies postoperatively,Consummate follow-up surveillance and prompt treatment of complications were the key points in prolongation of survival time and improving quality of life after LTx.

Objective To analyze the diagnosis and treatment of airway stenosis in a consecutive series of bronchial anastomosis after lung transplantation in our center.Methods We performed a retrospective study on 100 cases of lung transplants in our center from September 2002 to December 2010.Seventy-two cases were subjected to single lung transplants (SLT), and twenty-eight to bilateral sequential single lung transplantation (BSSLT). There were totally 128 bronchial anastomoses.All recipients received long-term follow-up to monitor the lung function.Lung CT and fibrobronchoscopic examinations were done when necessary. Results Twenty-five cases with 37 bronchial anatomoses were died.A total of 12 airway stenosis occurred in 10 cases (12/128,9.4 ％).Four cases underwent telescopic anastomosis and 6 cases underwent end-to-end anastamosis.Mean diagnosis time was 60.1 35.6 days post-operation (ranging from 15-120 days,median 59 days).There were 8 cases of unilateral airway stenosis (3 on the left,and 5 on the right) and 2 cases of bilateral airway stenosis.The number of simple airway stenosis was 3,that of exophytie granulation tissue was 8,and that of bronchus intermedius stenosis was 1.Culture of bacteria by fibrobronchoscopy with protected specimen brush revealed:3 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,2 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae,2 strains of Aspergillus,1 strain of Escherichia Coli. 10 cases were treated with fiberoptic bronchoscopic balloon dilation:5 cases with high-frequency electrotome,4 cases with stent placement,and 1 case with argon plasma coagulation (APC).Seven cases were cured or improved and 3 cases died.Conclusion Airway stenosis after lung transplantation remains a major problem.The fiberoptic bronchoscopic procedure is the gold standard to diagnose. The preferred treatment is fiberoptic bronchoscopic balloon under expansion,and other approaches include high-frequency electrotome,APC and stem placement,etc.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience ot harvesting and using the lungs from donation after brain death (DBD) and donation after cardiac death (DCD,Maastricht category Ⅳ) in China.Methods Eleven potential DBDs and DCDs were evaluated by our transplant group preoperatively,including 6 cases of DCDs and 5 cases of DBDs,and all of them received the tests of sputum culture bedside bronchoscopy,chest X rays,and blood gas analysis.After clear evaluation,1 case of DCD and 2 cases of DBD were discharged from the group for bilateral inflammatory infiltration and poor oxygenation index,and one case of DCD was precluded due to long warm ischemic time (＞60min).The donor lungs from remaining 7 cases were harvested successfully after the declaration of brain death or cardiac death.The preoperative lymphocytotoxic cross match test was negative,ABO blood types were compatible,and the donors were all suitable for the transplant procedure.Results Seven lung transplants were performed successfully under ECMO support,including 5 cases of bilateral lung transplantation and 2 cases of single lung transplantation.One patient was complicated with severe infection and died of sepsis on postoperative day (POD) 39,and one was succumbed to multiple organ failure.Two patients suffered of acute rejection on POD 30 and POD 19,respectively,and obtained improvements by bolus steroid therapy.The remaining 3 patients all recovered uneventfully.During a follow up period,all the patients lived an active life style with high quality of life.The mean survival time was 23.3 months (3-51 months).Conclusion The DCD and DBD may be one of the available donor resources for lung transplantation after efficient management of the potential donors and detailed preoperative evaluation in China.

Objective To determine the changes of heart structure and function in early stage after lung transplant and to study the relationship between decreased pulmonary artery pressure and changes of heart structure and function.Methods 45 cases of lung transplant recipients were included in the study,their preoperative and postoperative echocardiography data were reviewed,and the postoperative early changes of cardiac structure and function were analysed.Then,the Pearson correlation analysis was used to compare the relationships between the decrease of pulmonary artery pressure and the changes of cardiac structure and function.Results After lung transplant,pulmonary artery systolic pressure(PASP) decreased significantly [(62.3 ± 27.2) vs (36.20 ± 7.8)mm Hg,P ＜0.01],and right ventricular dimensions zoomed down,tricuspid valve and pulmonary valve regurgitation reduced,left atrial diameter (LAD) and left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDD) were enlarged,stroke volume (SV) increased [(43.85 ± 14.78) vs (58.68 ± 13.85)],but left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was decreased [(69.31 ± 7.50)％ vs (62.82 ± 8.12) ％],those differences above were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05) compared with preoperative echocardiography date.Pearson linear correlation analysis show that after lung transplantation the more decreased PASP,the more increased LAD and LVDD,and the more decreased LVEF (P ＜0.05).Conclusions In early stage after lung transplant,the structure of right ventricular was quickly normalized,the function of right ventricular improved,LAD enlarged,SV increased,but left ventricular function reduced,there were a linear correlation between those changes and PASP reduced.Echocardiography has good reference value for early lung transplant patient.

ObjectiveTo determine the risk factors and the optimal management of hepatic artery complications (HAC) after orthotopic liver transplantation.MethodsThe clinical data of 180 orthotopic liver transplantation patients performed between January 2005 and September 2007 was reviewed.The incidence of HAC between primary liver carcinoma and benign diseases of liver was compared.ResultsTwelve (6.7％) episodes of HAC were identified.3 were hepatic artery thrombosis (HAT) and 9 were hepatic artery stenosis (HAS).The incidence of HAC in patients with primary liver carcinoma (6/39) was higher than benign disease (6/141)(P＜0.05).ConclusionsThe keys to management of HAC after orthotopic liver transplantation are to diagnose the complication in time and to select the proper treatment based on the type of HAC.
