Objective To study the feasibility of preoperative acute hypervolemic hemodilution for decreasing perioperative blood use. Methods Thirty two patients(ASAI-II) undergoing spinal surgery were randomized into AHH group and control group. After anesthesia 6% HES(200/0.5) was given through internal jugular vein for AHH. The blood volume was increased by about 25%. During the operation, blood loss was replaced by HES in equal volume. Blood was transfused when the Hct dropped below 25%. The HR, MAP, CVP, SPO2, Hb, Hct., Plt, FIB, APTT, PT, amount of blood loss, blood transfused and urine output, volume of drainage 24h after operation and VAS score (0 means no effect, 10 means maximal effect) were observed before AHH, at the end of AHH, at the end of operation, and 24h after the operation. Blood volume expansion was calculated. Results (1) HR increased significantly in both groups(P

The efficacy of growth hormone (GH) treatment in short children with small for gestational age (SGA) was evaluated and the association of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF) and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) levels with height increments was investigated.Fifty-five short children with SGA in our hospital from Sep 2009 to Sep 2013 were collected.Before GH treatment, insulin and arginine stimulation test were performed.The children were treated with recombinant GH with 0.15 U · kg-1 · d-1 for at least 12 months.After GH treatment, the height was (120.5 ± 17.63) cm, height SDS was (-1.53 ± 1.04) SDS, HtSDS was-2.04 ± 0.47, bone age was (6.19 ± 2.34) year, growth velocity was (7.24 ± 1.19) cm/year, all these parameters were significant higher than those before GH treatment.Pre-treatment serum levels of IGF-Ⅰ and IGFBP-3 were negatively correlated with post treatment growth velocity(r =-0.37 and r =-0.31;P =0.004 and P =0.021).GH treatment could effectively improve the height of short children with SGA.Children with lower pre-treatment serum levels of IGF-Ⅰ and IGFBP-3 may reach the higher growth velocity.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of different drains in total knee arthroplasty.Methods Fifty-five patients,who had accepted primary unilateral total knee arthroplasty from October 2010 to November 2012,were included in the comparative study.Based on different drainage ways,25 patients were arranged into autotransfusion drain group,18 into routine drain group,and 12 into delayed drain group.Same operative procedure and postoperative care were provided to all patients.The total amount of postoperative drainage (including intraoperative blood loss),information of allogenic blood transfusion,body temperatures of patients on postoperative 1st,3rd,7th day,pre-and post-operative hemoglobin level,and postoperative swelling,wound healing quality and range of motion were recorded and compared.Results The amount of drainage was significantly more in autotransfusion drain group (799.2±196.7ml)than those in other two groups (381.7±129.2 ml in delayed drain group and 666.1±155.0ml in routine drain group).The postoperative hemoglobin level in delayed drain group (91.50±7.92 g/L)was similar to that in autotransfusion group (91.96±9.57 g/L),while significantly higher than that in routine drain group (81.33±9.86 g/L).The highest body temperature of patients in autotransfusion drain group was higher than those in other two groups.Allogenic blood transfusion was performed in 8 patients (44.4％) in routine drain group,4 patients (16.0％) in autotransfusion drain group and 2 patients (16.7％) in delayed drain group.There were no differences between groups in swelling,wound healing quality,and range of motion.Conclusion Delayed release of drain in total knee arthroplasty could reduce blood loss,chances of allogenic blood transfusion and postoperative fever,and extra cost,which can bring more benefits to patients.

Objective To investigate the expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 during the course of traumatic PVR treated with GM6001 and without GM6001,and to explore the potential role of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 during the course of traumatic PVR and to evaluate the effect of GM6001 on traumatic PVR prevention and treatment.Methods 360 SD rats were divided randomly into three groups: normal control group,the traumatic PVR group,the traumatic PVR treated with GM6001 group.The normal control group was intravitreous injected with normal saline.The traumatic PVR group was intravitreous injected with the PRP.The traumatic PVR treated with GM6001 group was intravitreous injected with the PRP and GM6001.The expression of MMP-2 and TIMP-2 were qualitativly and semiquantitativly analyzed with immunohistochemistry on day 1,3,7,14,21 and 28.Results 1.The results of immunohistochemistry showed that the expression of MMP-2,TIMP-2 was mainly located in the photoreceptor cells layer,out plexiform layer,inner plexiform layer and nerve fiber layer.2.The expression of MMP-2 in the normal group and the traumatic PVR treated with GM6001 group was weak at all time.The differences were statistical significance as compared with the normal group and the traumatic PVR treated with GM6001 group(P

Objective To analyse the plasma glucose change in the patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and to discuss its possible mechanism. Methods The clinical data of 61 cases with SARS in Tianjin were retrospectively analysed. Results Plasma glucose level increased in 26 cases with SARS, among them, 2 cases suffered from diabetes before SARS onset, 24 cases were diagnosed as the secondary diabetes whose blood glucose level recovered normal after SARS were cured, except 4 cases who were dead. All of the 61 cases were treated with glucocorticoids. If the patients were grouped by the dose of methylprednisolone they received, 9 out of 14 cases with large dose, 14 out of 26 cases with middle dose and 1 out of 21 cases with small dose were led to secondary diabetes. There was significant difference in the incidence of the secondary diabetes between the small dose group and middle/large dose groups (P

AIM:To study the mechanism of the unique export of one of human basic fibroblast growth factor (hbFGF) forms lacking the N-terminal nuclear localization signal (NLS),we high expressed and purified this hbFGF form in E.coli strain BL21(DE3).METHODS:The cDNA fragment of the hbFGF amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was cloned into the expression vector pET3c and expressed in BL21(DE3) by IPTG induction.The expressed hbFGF was purified by ionic exchange and heparin affinity chromatography from the supernatant of bacteria lysate.The mitogenic activity was measured by MTT.RESULTS:The expression level of hbFGF in E.coli was about 20% of the total cellular protein.The appreciable mitogenic activity of the purified hbFGF was comparable to that of hbFGF standard.CONCLUSION:The BL21(DE3)/ pET3c expression system could be used to high express hbFGF lacking NLS.The purified recombinant hbFGF was prepared and sufficient for further study.

Objective To study effects of multimodal analgesia on postoperative delirium (POD)in elder patients with hip fracture.Methods One hundred and eight elder patients with hip fractures were gathered in a prospective study.Fifty-nine cases were included in the group of multimodal analgesia (25 males,34 females),with an average age of 72.91±5.42 years,and 35 were treated with hip replacements,the other 24 were internal fixations.Forty-nine cases were in the group of conventional analgesia (22 males,27 females),with an average age of 72.14±4.93 years,29 were treated with hip replacements,20 were internal fixations.Assessments of delirium were based on confusion assessment method.Local infiltrated anesthesia,patient control intravenous analgesia,and intravenous nonsteroid anti-inflammatory drug were applied in the group of multimodal analgesia.For the other group,morphine would be given only when patient complained pain or there was POD.Postoperatively,visual analogue scale (VAS),onset of delirium,other correlative data were recorded by an independent researcher.All patients underwent POD were managed with intensive pain management,and then reevaluated.Results VAS in multimodal analgesia group [Day1:2.10±1.43(resting),4.74±1.45 (active) and Day 3:1.01±0.92 (resting),3.31±1.36 (active)] were significandy lower than that in the other group [Day1:4.67±1.33 (resting),7.44±1.59 (active)and Day 3:2.24±1.39 (resting),5.06±1.46 (active)].PODs were detected in 15 (30.6％) in group of conventional analgesia; while in group of multimodal analgesia,there were 7 (11.9％).All POD were given intensive pain managements by injection of 10 mg morphine and achieved relief of deliriums.Conclusion Postoperative multimodal analgesia may reduce the incidence of POD.First aid of intensive pain management may help to control POD.

Objective To study the effect of minimal enteral nutrition on the immune system of newborn infants under mechanical ventilation (MV) with intratracheal intubation.Methods Eighty-one patients under MV with intratracheal intubation were divided into two groups:treatment group and control group.Forty patients in treatmet group accepted early minimal enteral nutrition,while other 41 patients in control group accepted normal feeding,then T-lymphocytes (CD3,CD4,CD8),CD4/CD8,immunoglobulins (IgG,IgA,IgM),occurane of secondary infection,time of beginning fully enteral feeding,occurance of abdominal distension were recorded.Results There were no significant differences of T-lymphocytes (CD3,CD4,CD8),CD4/CD8,immunoglobulins (IgG,IgA,IgM) changes between the two groups in which the time of patients beginning MV under intratracheal intubation was less than five days (P ＞ 0.05) ; while comparing patients in the two groups whose MV time was equal or greater than five days,the changes of T-lymphocytes CD3[(37.3 ± 1.6)％,(42.6 ±2.8)％],CD4[(29.1 ±1.7)％,(34.6 ±2.1)％],CD4/CD8 (17.9 ±1.8,18.9 ± 1.6),immunoglobulins IgA[(55.42 ±3.98) mg/L,(129.00 ±7.76) mg/L],IgM[(130.29 ±10.92) mg/L,(317.33 ± 11.64) mg/L] in treatment group were more significant than those in control group(P ＜0.05) ;furthermore the differences of the secondary infection occurance,the time beginning fully enteral feeding,intravenous nutrition and hospital stays in the treatment group [20％ (8/40),(8.56 ± 1.78) d,(10.56 ± 1.78) d,(12.63 ± 1.73) d] were lower significantly than those in the control group [48.78％ (20/41),(10.20 ± 1.65) d,(12.15 ± 1.69) d,(14.15 ± 1.64) d] (P ＜ 0.05).These were no significant differences on abdominal distension and gastric retention between the treatment group [20％ (8/40),17.5％ (7/40)]and the control group [24.39％ (10/41),19.51％ (8/41)] (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Early minimal enteral nutrition in infants under long time MV with intratracheal intubation could improve immune function recovery,reduce the occurance rate of secondary infection,shorten the time beginning fully enteral feeding,intravenous nutrition and hospital stay.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a kind of chronic autoimmune disease and osteoporosis is one of its complications.

Objective To explore the relationship between polymorphism of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) gene valine (Val) 158 methionine (Met) (G to A transition)and the distribution in population and esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in Yili prefecture of Xinjiang.Methods A hospital based case-control study was adopted, a total of 622 subjects, which including 214 ESCC patients and 408 age, gender and ethnicity-matched normal control individuals.The polymorphism of COMT gene G to A transition was analyzed with PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism approaches.Results The COMT genotype frequencies in 622 subjects in Yili prefecture were GG genotype accounted for 47.3%, GA type for 42.3% and AA type for 10.4%, G allele was 68.4% and A allele was 31.6%.There was no statistical difference in the COMT genotype and frequencies of allele distribution between ESCC group and control group.Furthermore, stratified analysis indicated that there was statistical difference between ESCC group and control group in subjects less than 60 years old.There was statistical difference in the allele distribution among Kazak,Uygur and Han ESCC groups.The COMT genotype and frequency of allele distribution among normal control groups of the three ethnic groups were statistically different.After corrected age and gender,there was no statistical difference in COMT Val158Met polymorphisms among Kazakh, Uygur and Han ethnic groups in both ESCC and control groups in Yili Prefecture of Xinjiang.Conclusion COMT gene Val158Met single nucleotide polymorphism may not be the genetic markers of ESCC risk in Yili Prefecture of Xinjiang.
