1.Clinical evaluation of pro-vasoactive peptide in severe infection
International Journal of Pediatrics 2010;37(5):452-454
There are numerous complex mechanisms contributing to the evolution of septic shock, and early diagnosis and intervention will improve the prognosis of patient with septic shock. Recently plasma concentrations of some bio-markers like pro-ADM,pro-ANP,pro-ET1 and copeptin are found increasing in patient with septic shock.The plasma concentrations of these bio-markers are positively related with the severity of infection.These bio-markers have long halflife and are easily assayed. They may be the new bio-markers for the early diagnosis of septic shock.

Journal of Integrative Medicine 2006;4(1):17-9
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the pathogenic factors of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated by hepatic insufficiency, the prognosis and the effective preventive and therapeutic interventions. METHODS: One hundred and fifty-two patients with SAP (from January 2003 to June 2004) were divided into 2 groups, SAP with hepatic insufficiency group and SAP without hepatic insufficiency group. The related factors such as causes of disease, serum biochemical criteria, complications, mortality and course of disease were observed. RESULTS: The concentrations of serum amylase, creatinine and lactate dehydrogenase were all much higher in the SAP with hepatic insufficiency group than those in the SAP without hepatic insufficiency group (P<0.05). The incidences of complications such as acute renal failure, heart failure, gastrointestinal hemorrhage and infection were also higher in the SAP with hepatic insufficiency group than those in the SAP without hepatic insufficiency group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in mortality between these two groups, but the course of disease in SAP with hepatic insufficiency group was longer than that in the other group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The causes of SAP complicated by hepatic insufficiency are related to the imbalance of internal environment and the characteristics of the liver function. To control the biliary tract diseases, intervene with traditional Chinese medicine, recover the intestinal function in time, reduce the damage of pancreatic enzyme, maintain the stability of internal environment and avoid using drugs that can induce liver injury are all important aspects of reducing the incidence of hepatic insufficiency.

Aim To explore the expression of CD1a+ DC in fair follicle of normal human skin and psoriasis patients. Methods Expressions of CD1a+ DC in 10 fair follicles of psoriasis patients and skins of 8 normal human were detected by SABC immunohistochemical staining. Results The numbers of CD1a+ DC in upper limb skin and scalps's fair follicle were 13 and 15 respectively. The number of CD1a+ DC in fair follicle of psoriasis patients was 16,slightly more than that in skins. There was obviously higher density of CD1a+ DC in psoriasis fair follicle and its number was 46± 15/mm2. Conclusion The area of fair follicle is connected with the start and redistribution of CD1a+ DC,and the fair follicle may have important effect on development of vulgaris psoriasis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the value of high-frequency ultrasound in assessment of the therapeutic efifcacy of traditional Chinese medicine in patients with breast dysplasia using.MethodsFrom March to September in 2014, 50 patients with breast dysplasia in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine were enrolled in the study. In addition, they were treated with Xiaozheng pills. Before and after treatment, these patients were examined using ultrasound. The thickness of the breast gland layer in each patient was measured. When the dilated ducts lactiferous, cysts, hypoechoic areas, or nodules of the breast were detected, the diameter or volume was measured or calculated. A grading system of the breast dysplasia was used to evaluate the disease degree, and the quadrants of the breast dysplasia were counted. The thickness of the breast gland layer, the volume of cysts and nodules, the diameter of hypoechoic areas and the dilated ducts lactiferous, the number of the breast dysplasia were compared with the pairedt-test. The grading of the breast dysplasia was compared with rank sum test.ResultsThere were significant decreases in the thickness of the grand layer, the diameters of the ducts lactiferous and the hypoechoic area after treatments [(15.92±4.73) mm vs(13.02±4.20) mm,t=2.240,P<0.01; (2.26±0.58) mm vs (1.71±0.47) mm,t=5.202,P<0.01; (21.14±5.57) mm vs(17.80±4.63) mm,t=5.529,P<0.01]. However, there were no significant differences in the volume of cysts and nodules. The grading of the breast dysplasia showed statistical difference (z=-5.667,P<0.01), and the number of the breast dysplasia quadrants was reduced markedly (5.38±1.85 vs3.28±1.97,t=7.566,P<0.01).ConclusionsUltrasound can be an effective method in assessment of patients with breast dysplasia treated with the traditional Chinese medicine. The assessment can be based on some signs, including the thickness of the grand layer, the diameters of the ducts lactiferous, and the diameters of the hypoechoic area. The grading system and breast quadrants counting in these patients may be added as supplementary criteria to make a complete therapeutic evaluation.

Objective To assess the efficacy of ropivacaine in combination with different doses of sufentanil for epidural anesthesia in patients undergoing hysterectomy. Methods Eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients aged 30-55 yrs weighing 40-70 kg undergoing elective hysterectomy were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 20 each) : ropivacaine group (R) and 3 ropivacaine-sufentanil groups (R-S1-3). The patients were unpremedicated. ECG, BP, HR and SpO2 were monitored during ansthesia. Each patient received an epidural catheter placed at L2,3 interspace. After correct placement of epidural catheter was confirmed 0.75% ropivacaine 13 ml and normal saline (NS) 2 ml were given through epidural catheter in group R whereas in the 3 R-S groups 0.75% ropivacaine 13 ml and sufentanil 10 (R-S1), 20 (R-S2) or 30 (R-S3) ?g in NS 2 ml were injected into epidural space. BP, HR and SpO2 were recorded every 3 min. The onset time, upper spread and duration of sensory block; onset and duration of motor block (Bromage scale); degree of abdominal muscle relaxation; level of sedation (OAA/S scale); anesthetic efficacy and side-effects were recorded. The dose-response curve constructed by probit regression analysis was established to calculate ED50 and ED95. Results The onset time, the time needed to reach the highest sensory level were significantly shorter and the duration of sensory block was significantly longer in the 3 R-S groups than in R group ( P
