1.Applications of proteomics in laboratory medicine
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2009;32(2):125-129
With the progress of technology in separation and identification, proteomics is now widely applied in biomedicine.Because of the powerful ability to research differential protein expression and posttranslational modifications between normal and pathological samples on large scale level, proteomics provides the possibilities to screen biomarkers for diagnosis, therapy or prognosis of diseases.
2.The use of pulmonary surfactant in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome
Chinese Pediatric Emergency Medicine 2017;24(2):87-91
Pulmonary surfactant is a complex mixture of lipoproteins synthesized,secreted and recy-cled by type Ⅱ alveolar cells. The primary function of PS is to minimize the surface tension at the alveolar air-liquid interface. Surfactant dysfunction with quantitative and qualitative abnormalities of both phospholipids and proteins are characteristics of patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ) . Exogenous surfactant replacement shows consistent improvements in gas exchange,but had limited success in improving survival. These may be due to variety of aetiologies in ARDS、surfactant compositiones, delivery methods, optimal time and doses. At this time,surfactant therapy cannot be recommended as routine therapy in pediatric ARDS.

ObjectiveTo assess the effects of dopamine,dobutamine and norepinephrine on the P(g-a)CO2 and superior mesenteric blood flow in septic shock.MethodsRabbit septic shock model was established by challenging with intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharides from Escherichia coil(2 mg/kg).The rabbits with septic shock were randomly assigned to 3 groups-dopamine group(n = 8),dobutamine group(n = 8) and norepinephrine group(n = 8).Apart from volume resuscitation with normal saline solution [20 ml/(kg· h)],dopamine[5μg/(kg·min)],dobutamine[(5μg/(kg·min)]and norepinephrine [(1μg/(kg·min)]were infused in dopamine group,dobutamine group and norepinephrine group respeclively.Cardiac index(CI) and superior mesenteric blood flow index(SMBFI) were continuously monitored by doppler flowrneter.Gastric mucosal PCO2 was evaluated by gas tonometry every 10 min.Arterial and venous blood gas analyses and lactate levels were measured every 1 h.ResultsMAP,CI,and SMBFI significandy decreased and P(g-a) CO2 increased after lipopolysaccharides infusion in three groups.After 2-hour treatment,MAP in norepinephrine group[(70 +3) mm Hg]was higher than that of dopamine group[(66±4) mm Hg]and dobutamine group[(65±4) mm Hg](P <0.05).SMBFI in norepinephrine group [(18.7±2.9) ml/(kg·min)]was higher than that of dopamine group[(16.2±1.6) ml/(kg·min)]and dobutamine group[(15.8±1.9) ml/(kg·min)](P<0.05).P(g-a) CO2 in norepinephrine group [(30±6) mm Hg]was lower than that of dobutamine group[(23±5)mm Hg](P<0.05).Condnsion As an adjuvant therapy of volume resuscitation,norepinephrine is more effective than low dose dopamine and dobutamine in improving splanchnic perfusion.

Objective To investigate the incidence,etiology and risk factors of cardiorespiratory arrest (CRA) in pediatric emergency room and preliminarily evaluate the efficacy of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Methods The unified,standard in-hospital Utstein style was used for data collection with filling answers in the questionnaire.The survey items included the causes of cardiorespiratory arrest and the factors influencing the efficacy of CPR.The restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) was used to evaluate short-term efficacy of CPR.Results Totally 182 380 patients aged from 28 days to 18 years were admitted to emergency room of Beijing Children' s Hospital between July 1,2008 and February 28,2010.Of them,237 patients (0.13%) were subjected to cardiorespiratory arrest,of which 169 patients received CPR and 88 patients (52.1%) got sustained ROSC.Neither sex nor age distribution affected ROSC.The primary cause of CRA and kind of initial abnormal rhythm of heartbeat leading to CRA were associated with the rate of ROSC.The rates of ROSC occurred in patients with or without pre-hospital transport were 64.1% and 44.8%,respectively.The rate of ROSC was closely related to time consumed for getting ROSC by CPR,and as CPR durations were ≤ 10 min,10 to 30 min,and > 30 min,the rates of ROSC were 67.5%,61.4% and 30.5%,respectively.Multiple stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that kind of initial abnormal rhythm and CPR duration were associated with the rate of ROSC.Conclusions The incidence of CRA in emergency was 0.13%,and the rate of ROSC after CPR was 52.1%.The kind of initial abnormal rhythm of heartbeat and CPR duration were independent factors associated with the rate of ROSC.

Objective To prepare ?-CD(?-cyclodextrin) inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000[poly-(ethylene glycol) 4000] solid dispersions of mefenamic acid (MFA)in order to improve its dissolution. Methods The inclusion compounds of MFA were prepared using saturated ?-CD solution method by orthogonal test. The solid dispersions were prepared using melt-cool process with PEG- 4000 as a carrier. The inclusion compounds and solid dispersions were identified by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) gram and their dissolution rates were tested in pH8.0 buffer solution. Results The suitable condition for preparing ?-CD inclusion compounds of MFA industrially was the weight ratio of 1∶4 between MFA and ?-CD, agitating for 4 h at 70 ℃. The suitable proportion for preparing solid dispersions of MFA was the weight ratio of 1∶4 between MFA and PEG- 4000. Conclusion Dissolution rates of MFA are apparently improved in inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000 solid dispersions, and the solubility of MFA is apparently increased by 2~3 times in inclusion compounds and PEG- 4000 solid dispersions.

Objective To evaluate the practical value of Serology, PCR-SSP and PCR-SSOP for HLA-B typing. Methods A total of 30 samples, the blood of patients and donors waiting kidney transplantation, were used in the study. HLA-B typing was performed by one-step monoclonal antibody typing, micro PCR-SSP typing and PCR-SSOP reverse hybridisation. Results All samples were successfully typed by three methods. The difference between serological and PCR-SSP typing was 13%. The difference between PCR-SSOP and PCR-SSP typing was 3%. Conclusion Serology is high discrepancy rate and low-resolution, but cheap, simple and rapid. PCR-SSP and PCR-SSOP typing are high specific and accuracy. SSP is suitable for several samples, and SSOP is for lots of samples simultaneously although it needed long time.
