Objective To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of Morphine-midazolam, propofol and midazolam used for sedation in patients with mechanical ventilation. Methods Ninety-three patients with mechanically ventila-Morphine-midazolam group:priming dose 0.05 mg/kg and 0.05 mg/kg of morphine and midazolam,then continuous The index of ideal level of sedation was on the Ramsay scale. The sedation time, the time from discontinuation to ex-tubation, sedation costs, blood pressure were measured. Results The time in midazolam group (6.0±2.4) h was longer than that of propofol (4.6±1.7) h (P<0.01), but there was no significant relationship between morphine-midazolam group (5.6±2.7) h and midazolam group (4.6±1.7) h (P>0.05). The sedation costs in morphine-mi-dazolam group (101.7±20.4) yuan were lower than those of midazolam group (127.7±21.3) yuan (P<0.05) and propofol group(199.7±65.9) yuan (P<0.01). The ratio of hypotension in propofol group (35.4%, 11/31) hap-pened more frequent than that of midazolam group (3.2%, 1/31) (P<0.01) and morphine-midazolam group (9.7%, 3/31) (P<0.05). Conclusions Morphine-midazolam is a safe, effective and economic drug compared with midazolam and propofol used for sedation in patients with mechanical ventilation.

Objective To evaluate PICCO (pulse indicator continuous cardiac output) to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock.Methods We conducted a prospective study on 42 patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock.global end-diastolic volume index (GEDVI),pulse pressure variation (PPV),stroke volume variation (SVV),central vein pressure (CVP) and other haemodynamic data were recorded before and after fluid administration of 500 mL of 6% hydroxyethyl starch.Responders were defined as patients with an increase in stroke volume index of at least 15% after fluid loading.Performance of variables was analyzed using receiver operator characteristics analysis.Results GEDVI and PPV,but not SVV and CVP,were able to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock 1 hrs after admission to intensive care unit (ICU).The best area under the ROC curve (AUC) was found for GEDVI (AUC 0.802,P <0.01) and PPV (AUC 0.752,P <0.01) ; the optimal cut-off of GEDVI and PPV were 643.5 mL/m2 and 13.5%,respectively.At this cut point,the sensitivity was 90.9%,the specificity was 91.9%,however,only GEDVI was able to predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock 6hrs afteradmission to ICU.The best area under the ROC curve (AUC) was found for GEDVI (AUC 0.788,P < 0.01).the GEDVI < 559 mL/m2 during loading were found to predict volume responsiveness with a sensitivity of 100%,specificity of 62.5%.Conclusions GEDVI and PPV predict fluid responsiveness in patients with acute lung injury secondary to septic shock in the early hours.

Objective:To detect the expression of ALG3 in human bladder cancer and analyze its clinical significance.Methods:Bioinformatics was conducted to analyze the mRNA level of ALG3 in bladder cancer tissues and normal tissues, and to analyze the relationship between its expression and the survival rate of bladder cancer patients. The clinical and pathological data of 87 patients with bladder cancer who underwent surgical treatment were retrospectively analyzed. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of ALG3 protein in bladder cancer tissues and healthy tissues adjacent to the cancer, and to analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of bladder cancer patients.Results:The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that ALG3 mRNA was highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues, and was significantly correlated with the overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate of patients. Immunohistochemical results showed that ALG3 was mainly localized in the cytoplasm and was highly expressed in bladder cancer tissues, but low or no expression in healthy tissues adjacent to the cancer. The high expression of ALG3 in bladder cancer tumor tissue was related to tumor stage and tumor recurrence (all P<0.05), but not related to age, gender, tumor grade and lymph node metastasis (all P>0.05). Conclusions:ALG3 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of bladder cancer, and it is expected to become an important therapeutic target and prognostic marker for bladder cancer.

Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the expression level of CCNB2 protein in renal clear cell carcinoma tissues and healthy tissues adjacent to the cancer, and to analyze its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics of renal clear cell carcinoma patients.Results:The results of bioinformatics analysis showed that CCNB2 mRNA was highly expressed in renal clear cell carcinoma tissues, and was significantly correlated with the overall survival rate and disease-free survival rate of patients. Immunohistochemical results showed that CCNB2 was highly expressed in renal clear cell carcinoma tissues, but low or no expression in healthy tissues adjacent to the cancer. The high expression of CCNB2 in renal clear cell carcinoma tumor tissue was related to tumor stage and tumor size (all P<0.05), but not related to age, gender and tumor grade (all P>0.05). Conclusions:CCNB2 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of renal clear cell carcinoma, and it is expected to become an important therapeutic target and prognostic marker for renal clear cell carcinoma.
