1.Inflammatory response in cardiac remodeling after myocardial infarction
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2017;37(6):830-835
The remodeling and reparative process post myocardial infarction (MI) can be divided into three phases:the inflammatory phase,the proliferative phase and the stable phase.The inflammatory immune response plays an important part in the process of cardiac remodeling.First of all,the initiation of inflammatory response relies on the activation of innate immunity with a group of pro-inflammatory cytokines,chemokines and adhesion molecules.These molecules lead to the infiltration of the infarct area with neutrophils and mononuclear cells,further clearing the wound from dead cardiomyocytes and matrix debris.After resolution of inflammatory response,reparative cells and cytokines infiltrate into the heart and promote the differentiation and growth of myofibroblasts and endothelial cells,contributing to wound contraction as well as producing fiber tissue to form a scar.Moreover,overactive immune responses could accentuate infarct injury and dilative remodeling while deficiency of inflammation leads to insufficient repair,which highlights the dual function of the immune response in myocardial injury and repair post MI.Also the intense immune response along with fibrosis in non-infarct area is also closely associated with adverse remodeling.Thus,targeting specific factors in the inflammatory reaction may hold promise in patients with MI.

China Pharmacy 2017;28(24):3371-3373
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the influence of dexmedetomidine combined with fentanyl on analgesic effects and hemodynamics of orthopedics patients after surgery.METHODS:A total of 80 patients undergoing orthopedics surgery were randomly divided into observation group (40 cases) and control group (40 cases).Observation group was given patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) of Dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection+Fentanyl citrate injection,maintaining analgesia for 48 h.Control group was given PCA of Fentanyl citrate injection,maintaining analgesia for 48 h.The MAP,SpO2,HR,VAS and the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups from the application of multi-function monitor to connecting to PCA (T0),12 h after connecting (T1) and 48 h after connecting (T2).RESULTS:At T0,there was no statistical significance in VAS score between 2 groups (P>0.05).VAS scores of 2 groups at T1-2 were significantly higher than at T0.Those of 2 groups at T1 were significantly higher than at T2;but the observation group was significantly lower than the control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05).There was no statistical significance in MAP,SpO2 or HR between 2 groups at different time points (P>0.05).The incidence of respiratory depression,sharp pain,nausea and vomiting,hypotension in observation group were significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05).CONCLUSIONS:Dexmedetomidine combined with fentanyl show significant analgesic effect after orthopedics surgery,and have no effect on hemodynamics with good safety.
3.The relationship between the latency-intensity function of click ABR wave V and the audiogram configuration.
Journal of Clinical Otorhinolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2015;29(10):959-962
OBJECTIVE:
The latency-intensity function (LIF) of wave V from click ABR of some deaf children showed great variation. We attempted to find out the intrinsic reasons.
METHOD:
The children recieved tone-burst ABR test.
RESULT:
Frequencies from 0.5-4.0 kHz have been tested and the thresholds of tone-burst ABR were recorded. The average thresholds of steeply LIF children at 0.5-4.0 kHz were (93.13 ± 7.04), (79.37 ± 7.72), (69.38 ± 8.54) (66.25 ± 8.06) dB respectively, while the average thresholds of shallower LIF children at these 4 frequencies were (65.00 ± 7.32) (68.13 ± 6.55) (70.63 ± 6.80) (78.12 ± 8.34) dB respectively.
CONCLUSION
The results imply that the child with steeply LIF may have more hearing loss at frequencies 0.5 and 1 kHz than those with shallower LIF. LIF may predict the audiogram configuration.

4. Reliability, validity and sensitivity of Chinese scale for clinical neurological deficit of stroke patients
Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2010;30(3):283-285
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.

Abstract: Objective To explore the correlation between levels of hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) in serum and alveolar fluid and severity of disease in children with lobar pneumonia. Methods A total of 112 children diagnosed with lobar pneumonia from September 2020 to September 2021 were selected as the research subjects. The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid were detected by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The children were divided into severe group (clinical pulmonary infection score, CPIS≥6 points) and mild group (CPIS<6 points) according to the severity of disease, and further classified into good prognosis group (cured, improved) and poor prognosis group (uncured) according to their treatment outcomes. The correlation of levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid with disease severity in children and their predictive value on prognosis were analyzed. Results The levels of serum hs-CRP and PCT in severe group were (17.73±3.26) μg/L and (8.59±1.84) μg/L, which were significantly higher than corresponding (12.58±3.09) μg/L, and (5.62±1.59) μg/L in mild group (P<0.05); the levels of hs-CRP and PCT in alveolar fluid in severe group were (21.25±4.18) μg/L and (8.71±1.54) μg/L, which were significantly higher than corresponding (13.79±2.76) μg/L and (5.38±1.69) μg/L in mild group (P<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid were positively correlated with CPIS scores (r=0.398, 0.441; 0.475, 0.586, P<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum in poor prognosis group were (20.09±4.20) μg/L and (13.35±2.91) μg/L, which were significantly higher corresponding (8.75±2.19) μg/L and (6.28±1.31) μg/L in good prognosis group (P<0.05). The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in alveolar fluid were (23.70±4.29) μg/L and (10.73±2.04) μg/L, which were higher than corresponding (15.08±3.56) μg/L and (5.79±1.10) μg/L in poor prognosis group (P<0.05). There was no significant difference in AUC between combined detection of serum indicators and combined detection of alveolar perfusion fluid indicators in predicting the prognosis of children with lobar pneumonia (P>0.05). Conclusions The levels of hs-CRP and PCT in serum and alveolar fluid of children with lobar pneumonia are significantly increased and positively correlated with the severity of disease. However, the predictive value of the combined detection of serum indicators and combined detection of alveolar perfusion fluid indicators for the prognosis of children with lobar pneumonia is comparable.

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia( BPD) is a chronic lung disease that commonly occurs in pre-term. Since the 1980s,with the advances in perinatal care,survival rate of preterm has been raised,while BPD continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality for premature infants. However,the treatment effect of BPD is unsatisfactory. It is urgent to search for innovative ways to reduce the respiratory injury that caused by BPD as well as to improve the quality of life. In recent years,mesenchymal stem cells′( MSC) research has pro-vided a new way for the treatment of BPD. This review primarily summarizes the current status of the MSC ther-apies and its possible mechanism on BPD.
