Objective To analyze CT portal venography (CTPV) manifestations of portal collateral circulation in patients with cirrhosis by using a 16-detector row spiral CT scanner. Methods CTPV was performed in 36 patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis, the diagnosis was proved by clinical data, hepatic function findings and imaging signs. By using post-processing reconstruction technique, 3D images of portal venous system and portal collateral circulation were obtained. Results CTPV images displayed the portal venous system and its collateral circulation stereoscopically. Of 36 patients, left gastric varices were seen in 29 (80.6%), lower esophageal varices in 18 (50.0%), short gastric or posterior gastric varices in 15 (41.7%),paraesophageal varices in 9 (25.0%), gastro-renal or splenorenal shunts in 8 (22.2%), sponge-like transformation of portal vein in 7 (19.4%), paraumbilical and abdominal wall varices in 6 (16.7%), congenital cavernous in 6 (16. 7%) and paravertebral venous shunts in 4 (11.1%). Conclusion CTPV can well display the site, extent and severity of the portal collateral circulation in patients with portal hypertension due to cirrhosis, which is of great clinical importance for judging the patient's condition, for selecting therapeutic protocols and for estimating prognosis.

Objective: To determine the effects of intravenous anesthetics (fentanyl,midazolam and propofol )on inflammatory responses. Method: We employed carrageenan-sensitized endotoxemic rabbit model. Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were randomly assigned to one of four groups,control group(no anesthetic was used), fentanyl group, midazolam group and propofol group. Different anesthetics were used intravenously for anesthesia induction and maintenance according to the group classification. Meanwhile, all animals were mechanically ventilated, then, 2?g?kg~(-1) lipopolysaccharide(LPS) were injected for endotoxin challenge. Result:In all groups, serum tumor necrosis factor (TNF)activity began to increase at 30 min,reached its maximal level at 60 min,and tended to decrease at 120 min after (LPS) challenge,and the significant increase of TNF activity was associated with development of hypotension. Meanwhile,serum phospholipase A_2(PLA_2)activity began to increase at 60 min and persisted in going up within 2h. Those animals,with continuous infusion of these three different anesthetics and mechanical ventilation,had much lower peak level of TNF and higher mean arterial pressure (MAP)than control levels, but their changes of serum PLA_2 activity had no significant difference from control level. Conclusion: With mechanical ventilation, intravenous infusion of these anesthetics can reduce LPS induced injury in the acute phase of endotoxemia, probably by the inhibition of TNF production.

Objective To discuss the risk factors of ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) in intensive care unit(ICU).Methods From January 2008 to June 2010,the clinical data of 145 patients with mechanical ventilation over 48 hours in ICU were analyzed prospectively,and the effect was observed.Results There were a total of 53 patients with VAP,and the incidence was 36.6% (53/145).Thirty-three cases died,and the fatality rate was higher than that in non-VAP patients [62.3% (33/53) vs.30.4% (28/92)],and there was significant difference (P <0.05).Related factors analysis results showed that indwelling gastric tube,the use of antiacids,mechanical ventilation time,nutritional status,age ≥ 60 years and chronic diseases were the risk factors of VAP (P < 0.05 or < 0.01).Conclusion VAP has many risk factors and higher fatality rate in ICU,and comprehensive prevention measures should be adopted to prevent the occurrence of VAP.

Astragalus produced in Gansu were chosen as the raw material to leachate. Studied the antibiotic effects of the leaching solution on the cariogenic bacteria and compared with the imported bacteriostatic product MI. Streptococcus mutans and Lactobacilli were cultured in the medium for 24 h. The PH and A600 values were measured. Statistical analysis was conducted by using SPSS 13.0. The leaching solution of astragalus has the same inhibitory effects on the growth and acid production of streptococcus mutans and lactobacilli as MI.

AIM:To explore the characteristics of hepatitis B virus S gene mutation in the vertical transmission after active and passive vaccination .METHODS:Fifteen cases of immunoprophylaxis failure were enrolled in the study . HBV S gene (including pres-S and S) from the mothers, newborns before active and passive vaccination and 7-month-old infants with immunoprophylaxis failure were detected by PCR amplification .The characteristics of HBV S gene mutation were compared among the 3 groups.RESULTS: The genotype of HBV in the newborns and the infants was the same as that in the mothers .The frequencies of mutation in the 2 fragments of the HBV S gene had no significant difference between the 3 groups.The homology tree model based on HBV S gene was analyzed in the 3 groups, in which every group had their own cluster.There were 15 different mutation sites between 7 pairs of mothers and newborns .There were 3 different muta-tion sites between 3 pairs of newborns and infants (nt273A→A/G, nt512C→C/T and nt1139C→A), among which the first 2 were located in the S gene region but not in the “a” determinant , and the latter was located in the overlap region of S and X genes .There were 25 different mutation sites between 9 pairs of mothers and infants , but only 1 case had a differ-ent mutation site between the mother , newborn and infant .CONCLUSION: The HBV species in newborns and infants with immunoprophylaxis failure were transmitted from the mothers .The mutations in the HBV S gene with immunoprophy-laxis failure happened before and after active and passive vaccination , mainly before vaccination .The relationship between HBV S gene mutations and immunoprophylaxis failure should be further explored .

BACKGROUND:Hip’s anatomy structure is complex, and the traditional two-dimensional imaging, such as X-ray film or CT scan, is susceptible to image overlap and other soft tissue. As a result, there are some limitations in the diagnosis of hip disease. The digital model is built based on reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. It is comprehensive, intuitive and accurate of the stereo configuration of the hip and the spatial relations of other parts’ anatomical structures. This study has a broad application prospect. OBJECTIVE:To reconstruct the personalized three-dimensional entity model of the hip bone with computer aided technology. METHODS: The human hips were scanned with a portable three-dimensional laser scanner, and then the point cloud data of the hips were gotten. The point cloud was processed and the three-dimensional model reconstruction was carried out by using the engineering software Geomagic and the computer aided software CimatronE. Three-dimensional print of hip was completed and the model was gotten, which was consistent with the geometry of hip bone, through the rapid prototyping machine. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A model with good geometric similarity and biomechanical characteristics was built by digital modeling method based on reverse engineering and rapid prototyping. This way of digital modeling provided the basis for digital manufacturing of artificial hip, virtual assembly, stress analysis and surgical simulation.

Objective To explore any effect of proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) on the proprioception and balance of patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).Methods Forty patients with KOA were randomly divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG),each of 20.The PNF techniques of isotonic combined contraction,and rhythmic stable and dynamic reversal were applied in the EG,while the CG received quadriceps muscle strength training.Knee proprioception was evaluated using knee angle reconstruction experiments,and balance ability was measured using the one leg standing test (OLS) and the five times sit to stand test (FTSST).Results The errors in active and passive knee angle reconstruction at 30°,60° and 110° all improved significantly in the EG,but not in the CG.After the treatment,the OLS and FTSST results improved significantly in the EG,but only the OLS results improved significantly in the CG,not the FTSST times.Even so,the average OLS time in the EG was significantly longer than that of the CG after the training.Conclusion Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation can improve the proprioception and balance of persons with knee osteoarthritis.
