1.Thrombolysis during extended cardiopulmonary resuscitation for autoimmune-related pulmonary embolism
World Journal of Emergency Medicine 2015;6(2):153-156
BACKGROUND: Massive pulmonary embolism (MPE) and acute myocardial infarction are the two most common causes of cardiac arrest (CA). At present, lethal hemorrhage makes thrombolytic therapy underused during cardiopulmonary resuscitation, despite the potential benefits for these underlying conditions. Hypercoagulability of the blood in autoimmune disorders (such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia) carries a risk of MPE. It is critical to find out the etiology of CA for timely thrombolytic intervention. METHODS: A 23-year-old woman with a 10-year medical history of autoimmune hemolytic anemia suffered from CA in our emergency intensive care unit. ECG and echocardiogram indicated the possibility of MPE, so fibrinolytic therapy (alteplase) was successful during prolonged resuscitation. RESULTS: Neurological recovery of the patient was generally good, and no fatal bleeding developed. MPE was documented by CT pulmonary angiography. CONCLUSIONS: A medical history of autoimmune disease poses a risk of PE, and the causes of CA (such as this) should be investigated etiologically. A therapy with alteplase may be used early during cardiopulmonary resuscitation once there is presumptive evidence of PE. Clinical trials are needed in this setting to study patients with hypercoagulable states.

Objective To investigate the effects of different depth of anesthesia on ScvO2 and ABL in elderly patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods Totally 55 elderly patients undergoing gastrointestinal sur-gery were randomly divided into deep anesthesia group(BIS40-49)(group D,n=27)and light anesthesia group (BIS50-59)(group S,n = 28). While SVV value was fixed,fluid management was conducted while monitoring CVP. HR,MAP,the change of central venous oxygen saturation and lactic acid index were recorded in different time points. Results Propofol dosage in group D and group S indicated statistical significance(P<0.05). ScvO2 in group S in T3~T5 was higher than that in T0 and the difference was statistically significant(P < 0.05). Com-pared with ScvO2 in T3 in group D,that in group S was significantly higher and the difference was statistically sig-nificant(P<0.01),but no significant difference was found in other time point in 2 groups(P>0.05). There was no significant difference between and within ABL groups in each time period(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in terms of other indicators between 2 groups. Conclusions For elderly patients with gastrointestinal surgery,shallow anesthesia can improve tissue oxygenation and reduce the amount of anesthetics.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the protective effect and action mechanism of petroleum ether extracts from Saussurea involucrate on brain tissues of hypoxia rats under constant pressure and closed conditions.
METHODThe PESI dosage-dependent experiment for hypoxia rats was conducted under constant pressure and closed conditions by intraperitoneally injecting 125, 250, 500 mg x kg(-1) to finalize that the optimum dosage is the high dose of PESI. Afterwards, 90 Wistar rats were randomly divided into the hypoxic model group, the acetazolamide 250 mg x kg(-1) group and the PESI high dose group. Each group was further divided into three subgroups according to different hypoxia times, with 10 rats in each subgroup. Under the same hypoxia and administration conditions, the rats were sacrificed after 0, 3, 6 h respectively. Their brain samples were collected for common pathological observation and immunohistochemical staining of HIF-1alpha. Real-time RT-PCR was used to detect HIF-1alpha, EPO, HO-1 and Caspase-3 gene expressions. And the Western blot assay was adopted to detect HIF-1alpha protein expression.
RESULTThe brain tissues of the hypoxia model group were severely damaged with the increase in the hypoxia time. The acetazolamide group and the PESI high does group were damaged in a much lower degree. According to the gene expression and the Western blot assay, high dose of PESI could inhibit HIF-1alpha expression. According to the pure gene expression test, high dose of PESI could increase EPO and HO-1 mRNA expressions, but inhibit Caspase-3 mRNA expression.
CONCLUSIONPESI's protective mechanism for brain tissues of hypoxia rats under constant pressure and closed conditions may be related to its effects in inhibiting HIF-1alpha expression, increasing EPO expression and resisting cell apoptosis.

The aim of the paper is to observe the distribution of the endophytic fungi in leaves of Aquilaria sinensis by using permanent paraffin-cut section, optical microscope photography and histochemistry. Total DNA was extracted with modified CTAB method and rDNA ITS regions of plant and endophytic fungi were amplified with eukaryotic universal primers. The rDNA ITS amplicon was characterized by RFLP analysis, sequencing of rDNA ITS library and phylogenetic analyses using PAUP by maximum parsimony. Fusarium sp. A2 was used to induce the formation of resinous in A. sinensis trees. As a result, endophytic fungi mainly distributed in spongy and phloem in leaf. Endophytic fungi distributed in the phloem in agarwood-producing tree and had a relatively high abundance. Phoma sp. and Collectrotrichum sp. were the absolute advantage species in the leaf tissues of non-resinous and agarwood-producing tree, respectively. Collectrotrichum sp. was the only fungal species detected both in the two types of A. sinensis with different levels of abundance. The culture-independent molecular method can be used to identify fungal species directly and rapidly from the plant tissues. Endophytic fungal communities in non-resinous and agarwood-producing A. sinensis leaf tissues were quite different.

This research was aimed to find the skin irritation and burns treatment effect of wound dressing with mi- crospheres containing levofloxacin. We used reference GB/T16886. 10-2005 to evaluate the dressing skin irritation. We prepared rabbit models divided into three groups. The control group was rapped with Vaseline gauze bandage, while the positive control group was rapped with the wounds of nano-silver paste bandage. The experimental sample group was rapped with wound dressing with microspheres containing levofloxacin. We measured the wound without healing area and the hydroxyproline content at the ends of 3 d, 6 d, 9 d, 14 d, 21 d, 28 d. and meanwhile performed histopathological examination. The experimental results showed that the dressing primary irritation index was 0. The nonhealing wound area of theexperimental sample group and positive control group at the ends of 6 d, 9 d, 14 d, 21 d were less than that of the control group (P<0. 05). The nonhealing wound area of the experimental sample group at the ends of 9 d and 14 d was significantly lower than that of the positive control group (P < 0.05). The hydroxyproline content of the experimental sample group at the ends of 6 d, 9 d and 14 d was significantly higher than that of the positive control group and blank control group (P<0. 05). The pathology observed of the experimental sample group at 21 d were the earliest appendages. The wound dressing with microspheres containing levofloxacin has minimal skin irritation, effectively promote wound healing of burn.

Objective To compare bone marrow-sparing intensity-modulated radiotherapy (BMS-IMRT) with conventional intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) without considering pelvic bone marrow (PBM) as a planning constraint in the treatment of cervical cancer after hysterectomy. Methods BMS-IM-RT and IMRT planning were separately designed in a cohort of 10 patients with cervical cancer after hysterec-tomy. The prescribed dose was 95% planning target volume receiving 45 Gy/25 f. A commercially available TPS with convolution/superposition (CS) algorithm was used for dose calculation. Plans were compared ac-cording to dose-volume histogram (DVH) analysis in terms of PTV homogeneity (HI), conformity index (CI) as well as dose and volume parameters of organ at risks (OARs). Results BMS-IMRT was better than IMRT in terms of CI, but inferior to the latter for HI. When compared with IMRT, V_5, V_(10), V_(20), V_(30) and V_(40) of PBM in BMS-IMRT were reduced by 1.81% ,8.61% ,31.81% ,29.50% and 28.29%, respec-tively. No statistically significant differences were found between BMS-IMRT and IMRT for dose distritutions of the small bowel, bladder or rectum. Conclusions For patients with cervical cancer after hysterectomy, BMS-IMRT can reduce the PBM volume irradiated by low dose, which may reduce acute hematologic toxici-ties.
