AIM: To study the effects of IL-6 and IL-1? on the blood polymorphonuclear-neutrophils(PMN) apoptosis postburn. METHODS: Wistar rats inflicted by 30% total body surface area (TBSA) Ⅲ degree scalding were employed as the model. PMN were isolated by density gradient centrifugation using Percoll-hypaque and labeled with TdT-mediated and dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) and analyzed by flow cytometric analysis. The intracellular caspase-3 activation and the serum levels of IL-6 and IL-1? were analyzed by fluorometric immunosorbent enzyme assay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, respectively. RESULTS: The serum IL-6 levels (?g/L) in groups of 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 h postburn (9 14?1 16, 12 49?1 14, 3 01?0 75, 1 41?0 28 and 1 56?0 43 in turn) and IL-1? (ng/L) in groups of 3, 6, 12 h postburn (90 08?8 39, 320 93?14 48 and 47 84?5 19) were much higher than IL-6 (0 24?0 07) and IL-1? (27 65?4 86) in control group ( P

Objective:To examine factors that may have impact on the Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) screening validity, which could lead to further establishing the general model of the MMSE score in Chinese health elderly and to improve the screening accuracy of the existing MMSE reference. Methods:Based on the data of the Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey ( CLHLS ) , the MMSE scores of 19 117 normal elderly and 137 dementia patients who met the inclusion criteria were used for the analysis. The area under the curve ( AUC) and validity indexes were used to compare the screening accuracy of various criteria. Multiple linear regression was used to identify factors that had impact on the MMSE score for both the normal and dementia elderly. Descriptive analysis was performed for differences in the MMSE scores by age trends and gender between the normal and dementia elderly. Results:The AUC of MMSE was≥0 . 75 ( P<0 . 05 ) . The MMSE score of the normal elderly declined nonlinearly as the age grew older(male:R2 =0. 924, P<0. 05; female: R2 =0. 951, P<0. 05), and increased nonlinearly as the education level rose(male: R2 =0. 948, P <0. 05; female: R2 =0. 859, P<0. 05). The females had significantly lower MMSE scores than the males, with a faster decline trend with age than the males (95%CI of female partial regression coefficient was not overlapped with 95%CI of male partial regression coefficient) . The dementia elderly showed a much lower MMSE score ( male:difference of Z score:-1 . 573 , P<0 . 05;female:difference of Z score:-1 . 222 , P<0 . 05 ) and ten-ded to with a faster decline speed than that of the normal elderly (95%CI of dementia partial regression coefficient included 95%CI of normal partial regression coefficient) . Conclusion:The screening validity of MMSE in CLHLS is not affected by educational level. The analysis of factors that may impact on the MMSE screening validity are gender, age, vision and residence which with validity identification. These four fac-tors can be used as assist tool of MMSE in the screening of dementia to improve the screening accuracy.

Objective To explore the relationship between case mix index ( CMI ) and the bed allocation in clinical departments, and to evaluate the performance of bed scale of departments at tertiary hospitals based on CMI. Methods Based on the HIS system of a tertiary hospital, the authors collected the disease treatment information and bed allocation information of each clinical department in 2015. The CMI value was calculated by means of diagnosis-related group( DRG) , while the proportion of cases and average daily beds occupancy corresponding to the quartile of the CMI value of each department was also counted. Then the bed occupancy and distribution of various patients were analyzed. Results The hospital′s overall CMI value, DRG groups, DRG cases at the departments, days of stay, DRGs, CMI values and its quartiles were calculated. It was found that the medical and surgical CMIs had a linear relationship with the critical proportion (r=0. 998, 0. 996, P<0. 001). The main influencing factors of average daily bed occupancy were ranged from high to low as followed: the number of cases that were allocated in the group, employee numbers and CMI (F=87. 656, P<0. 001). Conclusions CMI is an ideal indicator for the difficulty of medical services at different departments and for evaluating the bed scale performance. Hence it can be used as an important reference for bed number adjustment in hospitals.

Vascular cognitive impairment (VCI) is the second most common type of dementia after Alzheimer's disease. As the pathway between the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract, brain-gut axis has become one of the research hotspots in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Intestinal flora imbalance may mediate or affect vascular risk factors such as atherosclerosis, hypertension, metabolic diseases, and ischemic stroke, and finally accelerate the occurrence and development of VCI. This article reviews the literature on intestinal flora and VCI as well as its main risk factors, in order to provide new ideas for the prevention and treatment of VCI.

OBJECTIVETo survey the association of serum free triiodothyronine (FT3) level with coronary artery calcification and major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in outpatients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).

METHODSA total of 577 outpatients with suspected CAD, who underwent dual-source computed tomography and FT3 detection were included, patients were followed up for 8-29 months for the major adverse cardiac events (death, MI, PCI, CABG). These patients were divided into low FT3 ( < 3.5 pmol/L, n = 126) and normal FT3 ( ≥ 3.5 pmol/L, n = 451) group based on the FT3 level, and divided into CACS > 100 (n = 235) and CACS ≤ 100 (n = 342) group based on the coronary artery calcium score (CACS). Related factors to CACS and MACE were analyzed using logistic regression (stepwise) analysis.

RESULTSCACS (146.7 (55.8, 599.1) vs. 34.8 (0, 261.9), P < 0.001) and MACE (7.9% (10/126) vs. 2.0% (9/451) , P = 0.003) were significantly higher in the low FT3 group than in normal FT3 group. Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that the FT3 levels are inversely associated with the CACS (OR = 0.442, 95%CI = 0.317-0.618, P < 0.001). Kaplan-Meier analysis displayed that patients with low FT3 levels had a lower cumulative survival rate than patients with normal FT3 levels (P = 0.005), and patients with CACS > 100 also had a lower cumulative survival rate than patients with CACS ≤ 100(P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONSFT3 levels are associated with coronary artery calcification scores and the incidence rate of MACE in patients with suspected coronary artery disease. A low FT3 level is considered as an important risk factor of high calcification scores and MACE.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the association between perioperative bleeding post percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and 1 year adverse cardiovascular events in elderly patients.

METHODSFrom June 2006 to August 2011, 1 105 elderly ( ≥ 75 years) patients undergoing PCI in Fuwai Hospital were prospectively included. Patients were divided into peri-procedure bleeding group (n = 153) and no bleeding group (n = 952). Cox proportional hazards model was performed to evaluate the independent effect of bleeding on the composite endpoint of death and myocardial infarction.

RESULTSBARC 2 grade bleeding occurred in 9.5% (105/1 105) patients. The rate of BARC ≥ 2 grade bleeding was 11.8% (130/1 105) , and the access site-related bleeding accounted for 62.7% (96/153) of all bleeding. The composite endpoint of 1 year death and myocardial infarction was higher in bleeding group (9.2% (14/153) vs. 4.2% (40/952), P = 0.008) . The 1 year cardiac death was higher in bleeding group (3.9% (6/153) vs. 0.8% (8/952), P = 0.007), but the rate of non-cardiac death was similar between bleeding group and no bleeding group (P = 0.360). Cox proportional hazards model analysis showed that HR of 1 year death and myocardial infarction in BARC ≥ 2 grade bleeding patients was 2.368 (95%CI:1.201-4.669, P = 0.013) compared with no bleeding patients.

CONCLUSIONPerioperative bleeding post PCI is an independent predictor of 1 year adverse outcomes in elderly patients( ≥ 75 years).
