Objecitive Under the fluorescent microscope ,we used fluorescein sodium fluorescence to determine glioma boundary ,thus gliomas removed through surgery more thoroughly .Mtehods We randomly se-lected 14 patients who were admitted in the First Hospital of JiLin University as the research objects ,patients with glioma were diagnosed as glioma according to the physical signs ,physical examination a,nd imaging findings before surgery.Diagnosed with glioma,intraoperative application of fluorescein sodium yellow fluorescence was deter -mined the tumor boundary ,and removal of the tumor ,according to the fluorescence intensity strength is different . The pathological diagnosis was to determine the boundary of fluorescent was accurate .Postoperative examined MRI was performed in order to make clear the excision of the tumor ,and the neurological condition of postoperative was observed.Results Glioma could be inspired by yellow fluorescence under fluorescent microscope .The normal brain tissue was not light .Postoperative pathological results showed that the fluorescent yellow area contained a lot of glioma cells,pale yellow fluorescence area found a small amount of glioma cells .Postoperative enhanced MRI scan had confirmed that application of fluorescein sodium could be more thoroughly resection of glioma ,postopera-tive dysfunction was reduced .Conclusion This method is prior to tumor boundary observasion without fluoresent staining and reducing the recurrence of the tumor and reducing the normal brain tissue damage ,and therefore,im-proving the quality of postoperative survival of patients .

Objective:To explore the effective ability and strategy of improving in-hospital emergency in large general hospitals through investigating and analyzing the epidemiological characteristics and outcomes of patients treated by rapid response team (RRT) in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang.Methods:The clinical data of 145 patients treated by RRT in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang from April 1st to June 30th in 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical data including gender, age, RRT response time, disease type, direct cause of RRT initiation, the incidence of cardiac arrest, intensive care unit (ICU) admission rate and outcome were statistically analyzed. The correlation between indicators was analyzed by Pearson correlation. Pareto diagram was used to analyze the direct cause of RRT initiation.Results:A total of 145 patients were treated by RRT within 3 months. The ratio of male ( n = 85) to female ( n = 60) was 1.42∶1. The age of patients treated by RRT was (72.83±14.84) years old, and the response time was (3.27±1.42) minutes. The incidence of cardiac arrest was 23.4% (34/145), and the ICU admission rate was 29.7% (43/145). The hospital mortality was 40.0% (58/145), and the rescue success rate was 60.0% (87/145). Correlation analysis showed that there was a significant positive correlation between the incidence of cardiac arrest and hospital mortality ( r = 0.545, P < 0.01). According to the disease type of patients treated by RRT analysis, respiratory system diseases ( n = 44, 30.3%) accounted for the most, followed by circulatory system diseases ( n = 43, 29.7%), nervous system diseases ( n = 25, 17.2%), digestive system diseases ( n = 19, 13.1%), trauma ( n = 5, 3.4%), endocrine system diseases ( n = 3, 2.1%), urinary system diseases ( n = 2, 1.4%) and others ( n = 4, 2.8%). Further analysis showed that patients aged between 85 years old and 94 years old were prone to the respiratory system diseases, accounting for 48.5% (16/33) of the population in this age group, while the cardiovascular system diseases were the most common in patients older than 55 years old, accounting for 31.0% (40/129) of the population in this age group. Pareto diagram showed that the percentages of direct causes of RRT initiation ranked from high to low, the cumulative percentage of pneumonia ( n = 30, 20.7%), acute myocardial infarction ( n = 26, 17.9%), stroke ( n = 20, 13.8%), septic shock ( n = 14, 9.7%), heart failure ( n = 10, 6.9%), respiratory and cardiac arrest ( n = 9, 6.2%), and gastrointestinal bleeding ( n = 7, 4.8%), which were the main direct causes of RRT initiation with a total of 80%. Conclusions:Respiratory system and circulatory system diseases are the main causes for RRT treatment in first-aid patients in the Fourth People's Hospital of Shenyang. The hospital mortality significantly increases once patients suffered cardiac arrest. The RRT can provide effective intervention earlier and faster, and establish a complete RRT emergency strategy, which is helpful to improve the in-hospital emergency ability in large general hospitals.

Background: Scalp combing,as an ancient method of health care,has been used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicine.Although this method is considered to be beneficial for the blood circu-lation of the head,the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.Methods: Both human participants and mice were used in this study.In participants,the scalp was stimulated by combing continuously for 5 min,and the temperature was measured using infrared thermal imaging before and after stimulation.In mice,the temperature was determined before and at 5,15,and 30 min after a 5-min scalp mechanical stimulation(SMS).Additionally,the vasculature of the mice was labeled with retro-orbital fluorescein isothiocyanate-dextran injection,and the capillaries were observed directly under a confocal microscope.Using in vivo CLARITY imaging and the spectrofluoro-metric detection of Evans Blue dye extravasation,the blood—brain barrier permeability was assessed.Results: SMS increased the temperature of the left ear significantly in human(P =.0247)while can slightly increase the temperature of the right ear and the face without significant difference(P >.05).Moreover,SMS can significantly slow the decrease in the temperature of the external auditory canal at 5 min(P =.0153)and in body temperature at 15 min(P =.0295)after SMS whereas no significant difference in body temperature at 30 min(P>.05)compared with control mice.Furthermore,capillaries of the ear with a diameter of less than 8μm were significantly dilated(P=.0006)following SMS and the number of dextran dots was higher at 15 min(P >.05)and 30 min(F = 10.98,P =.037)after SMS intervention compared with control mice.Conclusion: Our study provides strong evidence to support the notion that scalp combing can improve extra-and intracranial blood circulation under healthy conditions.

Objective To investigate the safety and feasibility of a simplified protocol combining with mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) in ABO-incompatible (ABO-I) liver transplant patients. Methods Twelve ABO-I liver transplant patient who received the therapy of a simplified protocol combining with MSC in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University between January 2014 and September 2015 were recruited in this prospective study. Ten cases were male and 2 were female, with a mean age of (39±13) years old. The informed consents of all patients or their families were obtained and the local ethical committee approval was received. A immunologic tolerance induction protocol, plasma exchange + rituximab + intravenous immunoglobin + MSC (simplified protocol combining with MSC and without splenectomy and graft local infusion), was used to prevent the antibody-mediated rejection (AMR) after liver transplantation (LT). The perioperative condition and postoperative outcome of the patients were observed. Results Three death cases were observed after LT including 2 cases died of multiple organ failure and 1 of gastrointestinal hemorrhage. The other cases survived. Two cases developed acute cellular rejection and no AMR case was observed. Biliary complication was observed in 3 cases, hepatic artery stenosis in 1 case and infection in 6 cases. Conclusion The simplified protocol combining with MSC is safe and effective in preventing the AMR after ABO-I LT.
