Objective To observe the effects of intensive insulin therapy on C-reactive protein (CRP) ,interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α ) in the patients of critical illness complicated with hyperglycemia and its incidence of side effect. Methods Two hundred and nine patients of critical illness complicated with hyperglycemia were randomly divided into intensive insulin therapy group (106 patients,blood glucose maintained at a level of 4.4-6.1 mmol/L) and conventional insulin therapy group ( 103 patients, blood glucose maintained at a level of 9.0-11.1 mmol/L). Serum levels of CRP,TNF- α and IL-6 were determined on 0,24,48,72 h respectively after ICU admission. Results The levels of blood glucose of both groups reached the target level. The incidence rates of the hypoglycemia had no significant difference between two groups [6.60 % (7/106) vs. 4.76% ( 3/63 ),P > 0.05]. After 72 h treatment, serum level of CRP in intensive insulin therapy group was significantly lower than that in conventional insulin therapy group (P < 0.05 ). After 24,48 and 72 h treatment, serum level of IL-6 in intensive insulin therapy group was significantly lower than that in conventional insulin therapy group (P < 0.05 ). After 48 and 72 h treatment, serum level of TNF-αin intensive insulin therapy group was significantly lower than that in conventional insulin therapy group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Intensive insulin therapy can significantly decrease the levels of non-specific inflammatory factors in patients of critical illness complicated with hyperglycemia, which brings beneficial effect to the patients.

Objective: To observe the effect of hypoxia on changes of proliferation ability of cultured human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (HPLFS) in vitro. Methods: HPLFS were randomly divided into two groups (experimental group and control group) by different oxygen concentrations. The oxygen concentration of control group was 21%. The oxygen concentrations of experiment group were 10%, 5% and 2%. The proliferation ability of HPLFS was detected by MTT colorimetric assay. The cell ultrastructure was observed by transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results: MTT assay results showed that compared with the control group, at the 12 h and 24 h, cell proliferation was enhanced with the hypoxia degree. At 24 h, cell proliferation showed significant differences. At 48 h and 72 h, proliferation of the cultured HPLFS in severe hypoxia group reduced significantly. Observed by TEM, at 24 h, not only the number of mitochondria, rough endoplasmic reticulum but also cell process increased in the cultured HPLFS in severe hypoxia group. At 72 h, the number of lysosome increased and the cell structure degenerated. Conclusion: Long-time severe hypoxia may lower the repair and remodeling abilities of periodontium, which might be one of the important etiological factors of periodontal disease under condition of high altitude.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of rhubarb as the main composition in the therapy for patients with acute paraquat poisoning (APP).MethodsA prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 128 patients with APP admitted to Harrison International Peace Hospital from March 2011 to December 2013 were randomly divided into western medicine control group (n = 64) and western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) combination group (n = 64). All the patients were treated with repeated gastric lavage and oral kaolin. The patients in western medicine control group were given 20% mannitol and (or) magnesium sulfate for catharsis, early (within 8 hours of admission) hemoperfusion (HP), and also given the routine combined therapy. In TCM combination group, in addition to the above treatment patients were given oral paraquat poisoning detoxification prescription No.1 every 2 hours for catharsis, which was composed of rhubarb 10 g, glauber salt 12 g, agrimony 12 g, and licorice 6 g. When green stool disappeared, detoxification therapy was changed to No. 2 compound once a day for 14 days, which was consisted of rhubarb 10 g, ginseng 6 g, agrimony 15 g, rhizoma chuanxiong 10 g, licorice 6 g. The poison volume, first dose of oral drug, time for the first HP, time of the first defecation, the time of last green stool, decontamination time, white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), arterial blood gas analysis, blood lactic acid (Lac), liver and kidney functions, myocardial enzyme spectrum, chest CT, adverse reaction, days of hospitalization, and mortality rate were observed in both groups. The levels of paraquat in plasma and urine were determined before treatment and 12 hours after poisoning in both groups. Sixty days after discharge, chest CT was taken for observation of pulmonary fibrosis. ResultsThere were no significant differences in the poison volume, ingestion time and the time for the first HP between the two groups. Compared with western medicine control group, the first defecation time (hours: 3.94±1.14 vs. 6.17±1.52), the last time of green stool (hours: 36.90±4.10 vs. 51.63±4.91), and poison clean-up time from plasma (hours: 19.48±3.63 vs. 23.84±3.29) in combination with TCM group were significantly earlier (allP< 0.01). WBC, CRP, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine (SCr) levels were gradually increased after admission in combination with TCM group, and they peaked on 5th day [WBC (×109/L): 15.35±2.17 vs. 17.47±2.09, CRP (mg/L): 32.62±2.76 vs. 39.51±2.45, ALT (U/L): 270.88±11.06 vs. 334.67±7.85, BUN (mmol/L): 13.29±1.90 vs. 17.63±1.42, SCr (μmol/L): 203.54±18.40 vs. 251.53±14.38, allP< 0.05], and then they declined; Lac after admission was gradually increased, and peaked at 7 days (mmol/L: 3.53±0.21 vs. 3.82±0.14, P< 0.05), and then it was decreased. Myocardial enzyme spectrum was increased after admission, and peaked on 3rd day [creatine kinase (CK, U/L): 192.09±16.26 vs. 216.20±11.96, creatine kinase isoenzyme enzyme (CK-MB, U/L):39.03±3.75 vs. 47.22±5.84, bothP< 0.05), and then they declined gradually. Arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) and base excess (BE) were gradually decreased after admission, down to trough on the 7th day after admission [PaO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 87.04±2.37 vs. 84.93±2.44, BE (mmol/L): -7.31±2.31 vs. -9.18±2.49, bothP< 0.05], and then they were increased. At 12 hours after poisoning, paraquat contents in plasma and urine in combination with TCM group were significantly lower than those of the western medicine control group [plasma (ng/L):0.83±0.08 vs. 0.96±0.10, urine (ng/L): 0.88±0.09 vs. 0.97±011, bothP< 0.05]. The injury to lung tissue was significantly improved in combination with TCM group compared with that in the western medicine control group, and no serious adverse reactions was found, and the hospital stay time (days: 20.46±6.07 vs. 29.73±9.16) was significantly shortened (P< 0.01), and the mortality rate [35.9% (23/64) vs. 45.3% (29/64)] was significantly lowered compared with western medicine control group (P< 0.05). In the combination with TCM group pulmonary fibrosis was lighter than that in the western medicine control group during the 60-day follow-up. ConclusionThe sequential treatment of No. 1 and No. 2 detoxification of APP, using rhubarb as the main drug, can effectively eliminate paraquat, reduce absorption of the toxin, prevent the development of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) induced by the toxin, shorten the hospital stay days, and improve the prognosis of APP.
