Objective Analysis of early risk predict markers within 24h after admission of prognosis in severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). Methods Medical records of 127 patients with sever acute pancreatitis admitted to our hospital within 72h after onset from February 2006 to July 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. These inpatients were grouped into survival group (102 cases) and death group (25 cases). The clinical and laboratory data within 24h after admission were compared between two groups. Results Compared with survival group, patients in death group had significantly difference in heart rate, respiratory, PaO2, pH value, serum calcium, serum kalium, serum creatine, BUN, BE, LDH, serum albumin and APCHE Ⅱscores (P<0.05). Higher APCHE Ⅱ scores after admission was an independent early high risk predicator of death. Conclusions Death group was characterized as severe multiple organ dysfunction and severe internal disturbance. Heart rate, respiratory, PaO2, pH value, serum calcium, serum potassium, serum creatine, BUN, BE, LDH, serum albumin and APCHE Ⅱ scores were early risk predict markers of death in patients with sever acute pancreatitis.

ObjectiveTo analyze the influencing factors and explore the countermeasures of patients with complication of lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods The clinical data of 382 patients with tracheotomy admitted to ICU of Hangzhou Third People's Hospital from March 2015 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed, including 153 patients with complicated lower respiratory tract infection as the infected group, and 229 cases without the infection as the no-infected group. The gender, age, emphysema, respiratory failure, time of admission to ICU, the kinds of antimicrobial agents used, time length of applying antimicrobial agents, aerosol inhalation, airway opening time, invasive operation, surgical opportunity and so on were analyzed in the two groups by univariate analysis. In order to screen out the independent risk factors for patients with complication of lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in ICU, the multiple logistic regression analysis was used on the statistically significant risk factors found by using univariate analysis.Results There were statistically significant differences in age, emphysema, primary disease, respiratory failure, time of admission to ICU, the kinds of antimicrobial agents used,time length of using antimicrobial agents, aerosol inhalation, airway opening time, invasive operation and the time of mechanical ventilation between infected group and non-infected group (allP < 0.05). The single factor analysis showed that age [odds ratio (OR) = 5.868, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) = 2.790-10.342,P = 0.000), cerebral hemorrhage (OR = 3.920, 95%CI = 2.250-6.540,P = 0.034), cerebral infarction (OR = 1.048, 95%CI = 1.005-1.092,P = 0.027), emphysema (OR = 5.995, 95%CI = 2.851-8.374,P = 0.001), respiratory failure (OR = 5.022, 95%CI = 2.107-10.244, P = 0.009), time of admission to ICU (OR = 4.968,95%CI = 2.461-8.236,P = 0.003), airway opening time (OR = 4.149, 95%CI = 1.298-9.027,P = 0.019), the kinds of antimicrobial agents used (OR = 4.364, 95%CI = 1.166-9.339,P =0.029), time length of using antimicrobial agents (OR = 3.944, 95%CI = 1.546-7.622,P = 0.027), aerosol inhalation (OR = 2.052, 95%CI = 1.150-5.042,P = 0.014), invasive operation (OR = 3.467, 95%CI = 2.869-8.956,P = 0.000), surgical opportunity (OR = 0.366, 95%CI = 0.175-0.763,P = 0.037), the time of mechanical ventilation (OR = 0.981, 95%CI = 0.966-0.996,P = 0.041)were risk factors for patients with lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in ICU. The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factor sequence of influencing degree from high to low on occurrence of lower respiratory tract infection in patients after tracheotomy in ICU was as follows: time of admission to ICU (OR = 5.697, 95%CI = 2.891-8.739,P = 0.001), respiratory failure (OR = 5.543, 95%CI = 2.347-9.882, P = 0.012), emphysema (OR = 5.388, 95%CI = 2.671-7.963,P = 0.002), invasive operation (OR = 4.987, 95%CI =3.644-9.876,P = 0.014), time of using antimicrobial agents (OR = 4.823, 95%CI = 1.369-8.542,P = 4.823), the kinds of antimicrobial agents used (OR = 4.514, 95%CI = 1.369-8.542,P = 0.022), age (OR = 4.395, 95%CI = 2.194-8.786, P = 0.013), airway opening time (OR = 3.287, 95%CI = 2.542-9.677,P = 0.036) and aerosol inhalation (OR = 2.141, 95%CI = 1.242-5.211,P = 0.045).Conclusions The time of admission to ICU, invasive operation, emphysema and so on are the main risk factors of patients with complication of lower respiratory tract infection after tracheotomy in ICU, thus, corresponding measures should be directed to the risk factors and formulated to strengthen the prevention in order to control the occurrence of lower respiratory tract infections after tracheotomy in ICU.

Objective: To compare the content of flavonoids from Sophorae Fructus by different processing methods.

Results: Genistin: crude (0.86%) > stir-frying with honey (0.67%) > carbonizing by stir-frying (0.48%); Rutin: crude (3.0%) > stir-frying with honey (2.2%) > carbonizing by stir-frying (0.88%); Sophoricoside: crude (8.08%) > stir-frying with honey (5.73%) > carbonizing by stir-frying (3.58%); Quercetin: crude (0.04%) < stir-frying with honey (0.05%) < carbonizing by stir-frying (0.12%); Genistein: crude (0.06%) < stir-frying with honey (0.08%) < carbonizing by stir-frying (0.21%); Kaempferide: crude (0.01%) < stir-frying with honey (0.02%) < carbonizing by stir-frying (0.54%). Conclusion: Among the flavonoids from Sophorae Fructus after processing, the content of flavonoid glycosides is reduced and the content of flavonoid aglycone is increased simultaneously, which may be related to the different functions of crude Sophorae Fructus, Sophorae Fructus stir-fried with honey, and Sophorae Fructus carbonized by stir-frying pieces.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical value of mammary sentinel lymphoscintigraphy in breast cancer. Methods: 91 patients with breast cancer in stage T1-2N0 were injected with 55. 5MBq/0. 5ml 99mTc- human serum albumin on the surface of the lesion subdermally or 92. 5MBq/4ml unfiltered 99mTc-sulfur colloid in four divided doses around the lesion. 63 patients underwent mammary lymphoscintigraphy and sentinel node biopsy using a hand-held r-ray detector probe were performed 2 - 16 hr postinjection in 70 patients during breast surgery . Results: The sentinel lymph node( s) (SLN) could quickly be shown by these two tracers in 81% (51/63) cases . A SLN with low activity could be seen in 13. 7% (7/5.1) cases , in which 85.7%(6/7) were proved to have a metastasis. Lymph drainage to the internal mammary nodes occurred in 38. 5% (5/13) of patients with an inner-lesion and in 26. 3% (10/38) of patients with an outer-lesion . The SLN was successfully identified in 95. 7% (67/70) of the patients and the number of the nodes ranged from 1 -5 with an average 1. 6 per person . The accuracy of the SLN with respect to the positive or negative status of the axillary nodes was 92.53% (62/67) . The sensitivity , specificity, PPV, NPV of the method was 82.75% (24/29), 100% (38/38), 100% (24/24) and 88. 37% (38/43), respectively . Conclusions: Mammary lymphoscintigraphy in breast cancer is helpful for localizing SLN correctly and identifying abnormal lymph drainage.

One hepatitis C virus(HCV) cDNA fragment, 534bp in length and designated as Q534, was obtained by means of PCR amplification with self-designed oligonucleotide primers. Q534 was doned into Hinc II site of pUC18 and the- recombinant plasmid pQ534 was then selected from the bacterial transformants. The sequence data indicated the Q534 was a cDNA fragment of HCV core gene, and located in HCV genome from positions 320 to 853 in correspondence with Chiron's prototype sequence. The homologies between Q534 and the prototype at the levels of nucleotides and amino adds were 90.9% and 97.6%, respectively. The homologies of Q534 with Japanese HCV-J and HCV-BK strains were 96.8% and 97.0% at the nucleotide level, and 98.2% and 98.8% at the amino add level. Compared with the corresponding sequences of other HCV isolates, this Chinese HCV isolate we obtained in the present study belongs to HCV group II .

Objective To understand the cigarette consumption of Guangzhou residents and its influencing factors. Method The stratified random sampling was adopted and the selected families were visited by trained investigators with questionnaire from April to August in 2004. Results 27718 residents over 15 years old were investigated. The smoking rate was 22.7%, and 46.2% for male and 2.0% for female. The currently smoking rate was 19.9% (male 40.5% and female 1.6%). The currently smokers lighted up their first cigarette when they were 20 years old in median and their consumption were averagely 14.3 sticks everyday. 13.1% smokers tried to quit smoking. 9.4% people who once gave up cigarette picked it up again. The Logistic Stepwise Regression analysis showed sex (OR=0.022, 95%CI: 0.019~0.026), education (OR=0.697, 95%CI: 0.659~0.737), family income(OR=0.975, 95%CI: 0.955~0.995)and alcohol drinking(OR=2.687, 95%CI: 2.467~2.927)were found to be the influencing factors for individual smoking. Conclusion The resident smoking rate was lower in Guangzhou than that in Guangdong province or in China but it was still very higher. The most smokers were male and little of them quitted smoking. The tobacco control should be enhanced.

Objective To explore the possible immunological mechanism of laminarin sulfate in the prevention of experimental atherosclerosis. Methods Serum soluble interleukin 2 receptor (sIL-2R) , circulating immuno-complex, sub units of T lymphocyte, inter leukin-6(IL-6) , in-terleukin-8(IL-8), tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a) and lipid metabolism were determined by ELISA, RIA in rats and quails. Results The lipid metabolism and immunologic function were prominent disturbance in animals after feeding with high-lipid food. However, Laminarin sulfate has obvious regulating effects on above-mentioned index. Conclusions The mechanism of laminarin sulfate in the prevention of atherosclerosis might be closely related to the regulation of the disturbance of lipid metabolism and to the regulation of the immunologic function of the body.

Objective To compare the diagnostic accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) images with multislice computer tomography (MSCT) for preoperative T-staging of patients with cardiac cancer. Methods MR and MSCT were performed in 28 cases of cardiac cancer diagnosed by biopsy prior to operation within one week. After an oral intake of 1000 ml water and an injection of hypotonic agent, MR and MSCT scan were carried out. MR sequences included FSE T1W, FSE T2W, FSE T1W with fat suppression and dynamic enhanced FSPGR with fat suppression. MSCT was applied with dynamic triphasic contrast enhancement. All of the findings were prospectively analyzed by two doctors separately and compared with the surgical and pathological findings. Results According to histopathologic staging, the accuracy of MR and MSCT in T1-staging were 88.8% and 11.1%, in T2-staging were 77.8% and 22.2%, in T3-staging were 83.3% and 32.7%, in T4-staging were 100.0% and 50.0%, respectively. Dynamic enhanced and delayed MR with fat suppression was superior to MSCT for revealing the involvement of esophagus and aorta, early stage of invasiveness and providing more evidences in T2 to T3 or T3 to T4 staging (P

Objective To explore miR-21 regulation of Smad7 in lung cancer A549 cell line as well as its impact on the proliferation of lung cancer A549 cell line. Methods miR-21 mimic and inhibitors in lung cancer A549 cell line were transfected by using Lipofectamine 2000 Reagent. After 48 h, Western blot and qRT-PCR were applied to assess the expression of protein and mRNA of Smad7 .
