Objective: To investigate the reliability, validity and sensitivity of Chinese scale of clinical neurological deficit of stroke patients (China Stroke Scale, CSS) , so as to assess its clinical application value. Methods: A total of 126 consecutive inpatients with acute stroke onset were included in our study and they were scored by CSS and the United States National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score separately; the reliability, validity, and sensitivity of CSS were evaluated. Reliability was evaluated by correlation coefficient r and Cronbach's α coefficient; construct validity was analyzed by factor analysis method of appraisal; criterion validity was analyzed by the correlation coefficient analysis with NIHSS scale as the criterion. Sensitivity in various fields was assessed through standardization of effect (SES). Results: Totally 123 valid questionnaires were collected. CSS showed high intrarater reliability, interrater reliability (0.911-1.000) and good internal consistency, with the Cronbach's α>0.8. There was concurrent validity between CSS and NIHSS (r = 0.86). The prognosis prediction accuracy of CSS was 92.4%, slightly lower than that of NIHSS (94.1%). Logistic regression showed that CSS's "gaze function" and "facial paralysis" were not included in the prediction equation. The facial paralysis had a SES of 0.38, all others had a SES higher than 0.5. Most fields showed a good sensitivity. Conclusion: CSS shows an acceptable reliability, validity and sensitivity in patients with stroke, but the predicative validity of CSS is inferior to that of NIHSS, which needs be further revised.

Objective To investigate the changes in cerebral oxygen metabolism during liver transplantation in patients with liver cirrhoses.Methods Sixteen ASAⅢorⅣpatients with liver cirrhoses(14 male,2 female)aged 25-67 yrs,weighing 45-80 kg undergoing liver transplantation were studied.Radial artery was cannulated for direct BP monitoring and blood sampling.Swan-Ganz catheter was placed in pulmonary artery (PA)via right internal jugular vein(IJV)for cardiac output(CO)monitoring and sampling mixed venous blood. Left IJV was cannulated and the catheter was advanced cephalad until jugular bulb for blood sampling.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propefol and vecuronium and maintained with isoflurane inhalation and intermittentⅣboluses of fentanyl and vecuronium.The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation.PaCO_2 was maintained between 30-45 mm Hg.Blood samples were taken from radial artery,pulmonary artery and jugular bulb simultaneously for blood gas analysis before operation(T_0,baseline),10 min before anhepatic phase(T_1)20 min after onset of anhepatic phase(T_2),30 min after graft reperfusion(T_3)and at the end of operation(T_4).Oxygen delivery(DO_2),oxygen consumption(VO_2),oxygen content of jugular bulb blood (CjvO_2),cerebral arterial-venous oxygen content differences(Ca-jvO_2)cerebral oxygen extraction ratio(CERO_2) and CBF/CMRO_2 were calculated.Results The mean duration of operation was(364?51)min and the mean intraoperative blood loss was(1340?430)ml.CO was significantly increased before anhepatic phase(T_1), during neohepatic phase(T_3)and at the end of operation(T_4)but decreased during anhepatc phase(T_2)as compared with the baseline value at T_0.Hb,CaO_2,Ca-jvO_2 and CERO_2 were all decreased while SjvO_2 and CBF/ CMRO_2 were increased during operation;DO_2,VO_2 and CjvO_2 were decreased during anhepatic phase;DO_2 was increased during other phases;VO_2 was increased at the end of operation as compared with the baseline(T_0)(P＜0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion There is no cerebral oxygen deficiency during liver transplantation in patients with liver cirrhoses.

T were also detected in the controls.Conclusion Nephrotic syndrome may be associated with NPHS2 identified in children.

The fermentation conditions which affect C-15? hydroxylation o f 18-methyl-estr- 4-ene-3,17-dione were investigated. As the key step in the Hydroxylation, the dissolution of substrate was focused on. Tween80, MeOH, DMSO,?-CD and 2-HP?CD were studied to improve the dissolvability of 18-met hyl-estr-4-ene-3,17-dione.The other factors such as pH, substrate concent ration and aeration strategies which affected conversion rate were also resea rched. As a result, the conversion rate can be up to 60% in shake flask and ach i(eve 50% in fermentor,which would overcome the disadvantage of 15?-hydroxyl -18-methyl-estr-4-ene-3,17-dione chemosynthesis and provide a good techn ics to industry.
