ObjectiveTo investigate the predictive value of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide(NT-proBNP) level on the capacity load of patients with maintenance hemodialysis (MHD).MethodsOne hundred and twenty patients undergoing MHD were divided into two groups according to blood pressure levels:bad blood pressure control group with 72 patients and good blood pressure control group with 48 patients.NT-proBNP levels were detected before and after dialysis,and cardiothoracic ratio,left ventricular mass index ( LVMI ),swelling index,number of occurrences of low blood volume and ultrafiltration volume were measured and compared between two groups.The correlation between NT-proBNP and the above indicators was analyzed.ResultsThe systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,NT-proBNP before dialysis,cardiothoracic ratio,LVMI,swelling index and number of occurrences of low blood volume in bad blood pressure control group respectively were (159.7±18.2) mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa),(95.3±14.8) mm Hg,(11 837.13±1374.26) ng/L,0.61±0.12,(174.36±21.35) g/m2,2.93±1.72,12cases/week,while the indicators in good blood pressure control group were ( 131.6±17.3) mm Hg,(86.5±13.2) mm Hg,(7649.54±1106.18) ng/L,0.52±0.11,( 151.83±18.94) g/m2,1.02±1.48,26 cases/sweek.There were significant differences between two groups (P ＜ 0.01 ).It was showed that NT-proBNP difference between before and after dialysis had significant positive correlation with ultrafiltration volume(P＜ 0.05).NT-proBNP before dialysis had a significant positive correlation with systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,cardiothoracic ratio,LVMI and swelling index (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ),while had obvious negative correlation with the number of occurrences of low blood volume(P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsNT-proBNP level of MHD patients has close correlation with blood pressure,cardiothoracic ratio,swelling index,number of occurrences of low blood volume and ultrafiltration volume.Detecting the level of NT-proBNP can better evaluate the changes of blood volume in dialysis patients,adjust dialysis prescription in time,and ensure the adequacy of dialysis.It has important significance to improve the quality of life of MHD patients.

Objectives To investigate the treatment and curative effect on paranasal sinuses and bronchitis in children. Methods Treatment of 62 cases of paranasal sinuses and bronchiolitis was retrospectively analyzed. Antibiotics was used in conventional treatment group (n=23). On top of conventional treatment, conventional plus topical treatment group (n=39) was additionally treated with nasal inhaled corticosteroids, sinus puncture, adenoid or tonsil surgery, etc. Results In conventional treatment group and conventional plus topical treatment group, the total effective rate of treatment for more than 8 weeks was 86.96%and 100.00%respectively, the effective rate for those treated for 4-8 weeks was 39.13%and 61.54%respectively. There was signiifcant difference in the effective rate of treatment for more than 8 weeks and for 4-8 weeks (both P<0.05) between two groups. Signiifcant difference also existed between the effective rate of treatment for more than 8 weeks and for 4-8 weeks (P<0.05) in each group. Conclusions Childhood sino-bronchitis should be treated not only with conventional treatment, but also with cor-rect topical treatment for local pathological changes in nasal sinus and nasopharynx. Longer treatment is needed for children with recurrent chronic sino-bronchitis.

Objective To investigate the possibility of taking bees as laboratory animals and establishing the new rapid ag-ing animal model. Methods The bee model was established under environment of high temperature, lack of oxygen, and vibration. The appropriate conditions for establishing the model were investigated by observing the changes of appearance and measuring the activities of the total SOD and GSH-PX in the whole homogenate of bees. Meanwhile, the changes of biopsy were observed. Results Bees aging model could been set up at the conditions of appropriate temperature, hypoxia and noise. The model has obvious indications of aging, such as reduced activity of SOD and GSH-PX, and obviously pathological changes of brain organization and intestinal tissue. The aging indications are not the most seriously and are suit-able for the studies on drug improving the aging indications. Conclusion Being in the enviroment of high temperature (35 ℃), hypoxia and noise for4 hours, can result in the better bee aging model.

Objective To explore the effect of intensive statin on platelet activity and inflammation factors 24 h after rat myocar‐dial infarction .Methods Seventy Sprague‐Dawley rats were randomly divided into five groups (n= 14):Sham‐operated group (SHAM group);AMI group(control group) ,general group;intensive statin therapy group ;general and intensive statin therapy group;established AMI rat model by ligation of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery .The general group ,general and intensive statin therapy group was fed atorvastatin by 10 mg · kg -1 · d-1 with distilled water 2 mL by intragastric gavage daily for two weeks .The intensive statin therapy group ,general and intensive statin therapy group was fed atorvastatin by 50 mg/kg with distilled water 2 mL by intragastric gavage 12 h before surgery .Serum PAC‐1 ,CD62p ,TNF‐α,hs‐CRP was measured at the time of 24 h of postoperation .Results TNF‐α,hs‐CRP ,PAC‐1 and CD62p levels in control group were significantly higher than the SHAM group and intensive statin group 24 h after the LADS were ligated(P<0 .05);and the factors of intensive statin group were signifi‐cantly lower than that of control group(P<0 .05) .There was no significant difference between the intensive statin group and gener‐al‐intensive group in the concentration of serum TNF ,hs‐CRP and the relative expression of PAC‐1 and CD62p(P> 0 .05);and there was no significant difference between normal group and control group in all the four factors (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Intensive statin therapy before acute myocardial infarction could decrease the level of inflammation factors and inhibit platelet activity postop‐eration .

Objective To study the capability of absorbing benzene and formaldehyde of four indoor potted plants.Methods To place four indoor potted plants,Sansevieria trifasciata‘Laurentii',Syngonium podophyllum‘Gold Allusion',Scindarpsus aureus,Chlorophytum comosum‘Vittatum' in a sealed chamber filled with benzene at the initial concentration of 1.11-2.32 mg/m~3 and formaldehyde at the initial concentration of 17.0-34.7 mg/m~3.The concentration change of benzene was determined every two hours and for formaldehyde every six hours.Results As for absorbing benzene,four plants ranked as follows,Syngonium podophyllum‘Gold A llusion',Sansevieria trifasciata‘Laurentii',Scindapsus aureus,Chlorophytum comosum‘V ittatum'.As for absorbing formaldehyde,four plants ranked as follows,Chlorophytum comosum‘Vittatum',Sansevieria trifasciata‘Laurentii', Scindapsus aureus,Syngonium podophyllum‘Gold Allusion'.Conclusion The investigated plants can present the selective absorbing ability to the two gases,for example,Chlorophytum comosum‘Vittatum' can absorb formaldehyde obviously,but can't absorb benzene.The character of plant absorbing deleterious gas is that the absorbing capability will gradually reduce,but it can be resumed and repetitively used.
