Objective To study the correlation between fluid management during liver transplantation and postoperative intra-abdorninal hypertension (IAH),and the correlation between intra-abdominal pressure and hemodynamics during liver transplantation.Method From Sep.2008 to Sep.2014,95 cases were admitted to ICU following liver transplantation were enrolled.All recipients were given abdominal color ultrasound examinations,and the IAH was measured.The preoperative Child-Pugh score,total operating time,anhepatic phase time,intraoperative blood loss,crystal solution input,colloidal fluid input,red blood cell infusion,plasma infusion,intraoperative total fluid input,intraoperative fluid input per h,and urinary volume per h and their correlation with postoperative IAH were analyzed by the Logistic regression method.The relationship between hemodynamics data and IAH intra-abdominal pressure was analyzed by the correlation analysis of two variables.Result IAH occurred in 18.94％ (18/95) recipients at 72nd h after operation.Fluid input per h (＞2000 ml/h) was risk factor (B=1.62;P＜0.05;OR=5.07,95％ CI:1.41-18.23) of IAH.Urinary volume per h (＜200 ml/h) is risk factor (B=-3.21 ;P＜0.01:OR =0.04,95％ CI:0.01-0.18) of IAH.There was correlation between hepatic artery peak flow velocity (r =0.83,P＜0.01),portal vein peak flow velocity (r =-0.182,P＜0.05),and retrohepatic inferior vena cava peak flow velocity (r=-0.184,P＜0.05) with IAH.Conclusion Fluid input per h should be controlled in a low level and urinary volume per h should be increased in order to prevent IAH.There is correlation between hepatic artery peak flow velocity,portal vein peak flow velocity and retrohepatic inferior vena cava peak flow velocity with IAH.

Objective To study the relationship between angiotensin Ⅱ type 2 receptor (AGTR2) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms and hypertension in patients with essential hypertension and renal hypertension.Methods Direct DNA sequencing was performed to detect the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in eighty patients with essential hypertension,eighty patients with renal hypertension and forty normal blood pressure controls.Results There was significant difference on A allele frequencies between essential hypertension group and control group ( 56.88％ [ 91/160 ] vs 30.00％ [ 24/80 ],x2 =15.44,P ＜ 0.001 ).A allele frequency had no correlation with renal hypertension (42.50％ [ 68/160 ] vs 30.00％ [ 24/80 ],x2 =3.52,P ＞0.05).There was no significant difference on SNP between essential hypertension group and renal hypertension group ( P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion A1675G signal nucleotide polymorphisms of AGTR2 may be associated with the development of essential hypertension,but has nothing to do with renal hypertension.

BACKGROUND:Bone tissue transplantation or osteogenic material fil ing is after used for bone defect repair. To remove autologous bone tissues can lead to additional damage and secondary deformity, therefore, it is extremely urgent to search for a new osteogenic material. OBJECTIVE:To construct the porousβ-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/col agen scaffold modified with human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2) gene, and to observe its effects on differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cel lines. METHODS:The porousβ-TCP/col agen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene was prepared. Then in vitro culture system of MC3T3-E1 cel lines with composite scaffold was established. There were scaffold and plate groups, and each group was divided into two subgroups according to the different concentrations of plasmid. Samples were col ected and observed morphological y by scanning electron microscope and light microscope after complex culture. After 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of induction, calcium nodules were observed through alizarin red staining, the cel cycle was detected by real-time PCR, and expressions ofαI-chain col agen type I gene, Osterix and bone sialoprotein were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of cel s adhered, differentated and distributed on the composite scaffold was significantly higher than that of the single scaffold (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining and real-time PCR detection showed that the osteogenesis ability of MC3T3-E1 cel lines in the scaffold group was stronger than that in the plate group. To conclude, the porousβ-TCP/col agen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene is an appropriate candidate for bone defect repair.

Objective To study the relationship between activity of thorax and each spinal intervertebral angle in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. Methods Each spinal intervertebral angle of 41 patients with ankylosing spondylitis were measured by Spinalmouse in different postures. And the activity of thorax was measured. Correlation between activity of thorax and shape of spinal were analyzed. Results The activity of thorax positively correlated with the entire lumbar spinal column in flexion (P<0.01), as well as the intervertebral angle of L1/2, L2/3 and L4/5 in flexion (P<0.05), but negatively correlated with the intervertebral angle of L1/2 and L2/3, curvature of the entire lumbar spinal column in upright and the intervertebral angle of L1/2, L3/4, curvature of the entire lumbar spinal column in extension. Conclusion There was a significant relation between activity of thorax and lumbar vertebra motor ability.

Professor LI Zhi-dao, according to acupoint selection of syndrome differentiation in TCM basic theory, concluded a new therapy, namely "tonifying three qi" that is mainly based on three acupoints in the Conception Vessel. This method is consisted of Danzhong (CV 17), Zhongwan (CV 12) and Qihai (CV 6) in the Conception Vessel, which could successively nourish clear qi, stomach qi and original qi. In clinic, according to the severity of symptoms of three qi, the acupoints are selected flexibly, which could respectively treat deficiency of heart-lung qi, deficiency of stomach-spleen qi and deficiency of original qi. Some examples are also given in the article.
