OBJECTIVETo study the protective effect of hyperoxia solution on acute lung injury caused by phosgene poisoning by observing the changes of PaO2 and malondialdehyde (MDA) contents, superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in serum and Glutathione (GSH/GSSG) contents in lung tissues.

METHODSThe rabbits were divided into normal control group, hyperoxia solution (H0) and balance salt (BS) groups. Group HO and Group BS inhaled phosgene and the former was given intravenously hyperoxia solution (which was replaced by balance salt solution in Group BS). The content of MDA and the activity of SOD in serum were observed at different time points, the amount of GSH and GSSG in lung tissue were also measured.

RESULTS(1) The serum MDA contents increased and PaO2, SOD activity decreased significantly in Group HO and Group BS along with time increasing as compared with control group. The contents of GSH in lung tissue decreased in two groups compared with that in control group, however the contents of GSSG ascended instead. (2) At 3 and 8 h of the experiment, PaO2 of Group HO [(9.91 +/- 0.49), (9.15 +/- 0.46) mm Hg respectively] were significantly higher than those of Group BS [(9.03 +/- 0.76), (8.11 +/- 0.57) mm Hg respectively] (P < 0.01). The contents of MDA of Group HO (3.66 +/- 0.35), (5.31 +/- 0.15) micromol/L respectively] were lower than those of Group BS [(4.32 +/- 0.26), (7.4 +/- 0.33) micromol/L respectively] (P < 0.01). SOD activity in Group HO [(237.37 +/- 29.96), (208.10 +/- 18.80) NU/ml respectively] were higher than those of Group BS [(195.02 +/- 21.44), (144.87 +/- 21.26) NU/ml respectively] (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). The content of GSSG lung tissue in Group HO (423.67 +/- 38.21) micromol/L were lower than those of Group BS (523.85 +/- 43.14) mol/L (P < 0.01). There were no significant differences in the content of GSH in lung tissues between Group HO and group BS.

CONCLUSIONHyperoxia solution can reduce acute lung injury of rabbits following phosgene poisoning.

Heatstroke is a critical disease which usually catches in the hot environment in summer and abundant exercise that could bring about multiple organ dysfunction.The process of the occurrence and development of heatstroke includes of the compensatory phase,acute reaction stage and decompensation stage.The recent researches have shown that the mechanism of liver injury induced by heatstroke might be related to the direct action of heat,mitochondrial dysfunction in liver cells and cascade of inflammatory response,and each link promoted each other,finally caused liver injury.In addition,a cascade of inflammatory responses in the hepatic sinusoid might play a predominant role in liver injury induced by heatstroke.This paper aims to review the mechanism of liver damage caused by heatstroke in terms of the physiology and pathology,so as to provide perspectives for clinical prevention and treatment of liver injury.

Objective To assess the value of three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (3D-CEUS) in evaluation of hepatic arteries variants.Methods Both two-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (2D-CEUS) and 3D-CEUS were used to assess 30 patients including living donor candidates and patients with upper abdomen tumors.The reference standard was operation or CTA or DSA or MRA,and the accuracy for detecting hepatic artery variants provided by the two methods was evaluated.Arterial anatomic types were defined by using Michels classification.Results The total accuracy for detecting hepatic artery anatomy types by 2D-CEUS was 40.0% (12/30),while 83.3% (25/30) by 2D-CEUS.For convention anatomy types the accuracy on 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS were 40.9%(9/22)and 90.9%(20/22),respectively.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).For anatomy variants types the accuracy on 2D-CEUS and 3D-CEUS were 37.5%(3/8)and 62.5%(5/8),respectively.No significant difference between these two methods was observed.Conclusion 3D-CEUS was a new method in diagnosis of hepatic arteries anatomy types with practical clinical value in evaluation of the living liver donors.

Objective To assess the feasibility of three-dimensional contrast-enhanced ultrasonic cholangiography(3D-CEUSC) in cadaver liver.Methods The 3D-CEUSC was performed in 6 cases of cadaver liver.Image quality of 3D-CEUSC was evaluated.The visualization of branching orders,the degree of visibility and coincidence of morphous were compared with those of cholangiagraphy using fluoroscopy.Results The imaging quality of 3D-CEUSC was inferior to that of cholangiography with significant difference.The three-dimensional biliary tree structures were visualized in all 6 3D-CEUSC.The maximum visualization of branching orders in 3D-CEUSC was (3.67±0.52),which was equal to the results(4.00±0.63)by cholangiography (P=0.465).The degrees of visibility of biliary tree were equivalent with those by cholangiography in the first and second order with significant difference.The coincidence of morphous was excellent compared the images of 3D-CEUSC with direct X-ray cholangiography.Conclusion 3D-CEUSC is a new technique as a useful supplement to cholangiography in evaluation of biliary anatomy and variation before graft harvesting in LDLT.

Purpose To screen out miRNA expression profile related to HER-2 via observing the differential expression of miRNA ex-pression of human breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MCF-7/HER-2. Methods After cultivating human breast cancer cells MCF-7 and MCF-7/HER-2, the expression profile of miRNAs was detected by miRNA microarrays. Results Compared to MCF-7 cells, two hundreds and seventeen HER-2 related miRNAs were identified from breast cancer MCF-7/HER-2 cells, including 123 up-regulated and 94 down-regulated miRNAs. Of significant differentialy expressed miRNAs, hsa-miR-141 and hsa-miR-1299’s target genes have multiple biological functions. Conclusion The differentially expressed miRNAs under different lever of HER-2 in human breast cancer MCF-7 cells were obtained, which may provide a basis for studying HER-2 functions and roles in breast cancer.

Objective To analyze the trend of maternal mortality ratio (MMR) and cause of death in Shanghai from 1996 to 2015.Methods To collect the material about the maternal death and the maternal death audit from 1996 to 2015,and to analyze the MMR,the cause of death and the result of the maternal death audit of Shanghai from 1996 to 2015 retrospectively.Results (1) The change of MMR:the MMR in Shanghai decreased from 28.84 per 100000 live births in 1996 to 6.66 per 100000 live births in 2015.(2) The characteristic of maternal death:the proportion of Shanghai citizens was 27.4％(121/441) and the proportion of migrant women was 72.6％(320/441).The women with advanced maternal age was 8.2％(20/243) since 1996 to 2005,and increased to 16.7％ (33/198) since 2006 to 2015.Maternal deaths during pregnancy increased from 27.6％(67/243) in the first 10 years (1996-2005) to 35.4％(70/198) in the recent 10 years(2006-2015).The intrapartum maternal deaths was 6.2％(15/243) in the first 10 years and in the recent 10 years it was zero.The proportion of postpartum deaths in the first 10 years and in the recent 10 years were 66.3％ (161/243) and 64.6％(128/198) respectively.(3) The cause of maternal death:During the recent 10 years,indirect obstetric causes [63.1％(125/198)] was more than direct obstetric causes [36.9％(73/198)] for the first time.The death causes changed significantly.Postpartum hemorrhage remained the leading cause of maternal deaths,but the specific mortality rate (SMR) of postpartum hemorrhage decreased significantly from 7.42 per 100000 live births in the first 10 years to 1.51 per 100000 live births in the recent 10 years.The maternal deaths because of heart disease and cerebrovascular disease rose to the second and the forth reasons.(4) Maternal death audit:the avoidable maternal death ratio decreased from 3.66 per 100000 live births in the first 10 years to 1.86 per 100 000 live births in the recent 10 years.Conclusions During the past 20 years,the MMR of Shanghai decreased significantly and was close to the level of developed countries.In recent years,the causes of maternal death become more complicated.With the implementation of the second child policy,women with high risk factors increase,so government investment,policy support should be strengthened to optimize the management.
