1.THE EFFECT OF WHOLE BLOOD TRANSFUSION ON BLOOD VISCOSITY IN BURN SHOCK
Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1981;0(04):-
Blood viscosity was determined in 50 normal individuals. No significant difference was found between males and females, therefore the values were pooled.In 10 burn patients (burn extent ranged from 30% to 90%). blood viscosity was determined in the first 3 postburn days. All of them received whole blood as a part of the resuscitational regime. The amount of whole blood given was approximately TBSA% burnedxbody weight (kg)?0.3ml. The blood viscosity returned to within normal range in all cases on the 3rd postburn day.Blood viscosity was determined in 20 uninjured dogs to obtain its normal values. A 25% napalm burn was inflicted upon the animals, and they were divided into 2 groups of 7 each. Group A received the same fluid replacement protocol as what was given in human patients, while Group B animals were replenished with balanced salt solution in the amount of 5ml/1%TBS A/kg in the first 24 hours, and dextran was given as a colloid in the second 24 hours. No significant difference in blood viscosity was observed between these two groups during the observation period.The above findings suggested that whole blood as one of the constituents of replacement fluids for burn shock would neither enhance blood (?)scosity nor impede its recovery to normalcy.

Objective To analyze the sperm DNA fragmentation in different degrees of varicocele (VC) infertility patients after high ligation of the spermatic vein. Methods There were 57 patients with different degrees of VC infertility patients. 27 patients had been diagnosed with level two VC, and 30 patients had been diagnosed with level three VC. All patients' sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) were detected and calculated at preoperative one month and postoperative three months. Results 57 VC infertility patients were all suffered from laparoscopic high ligation of the spermatic vein on both sides. There was no statistically difference on preoperative sperm DFI between level two and level three patients (P > 0.05). All patients' sperm DFI were decreased after laparoscopic (P < 0.05), and level two VC infertility patients had significant greater progress than level three patients (P < 0.05). Conclusion Laparoscopic high ligation of the spermatic vein can effectively improve VC infertility patients sperm DFI. It would be better for level two VC infertility patients.

Objective:To evaluate the protective effect of Diclipterachinensis polysaccharide P2B on liver cell line L-02 injury in-duced by carbon tetrachloride ( CCl4 ) . Methods:The human liver L-02 cells were cultured, and the injury model was built by CCl4 . The L-02 cells were divided into the normal control group, the CCl4-damaged group, and the P2B sample groups (0. 125, 0. 250 and 0. 500 mg· ml-1 ). The contents of alanine aminotransferase ( ALT), aspartate aminotransferase ( AST), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) were determined by MTT assay. Results:Compared with the CCl4-damaged group, P2B could improve the activity of L-02 cells, and the activity of AST and ALT in the supernatant was significantly reduced, and the content of SOD in the cells was increased and that of MDA was decreased. Conclusion:P2B can significantly prevent L-02 cells from the damage induced by CCl4 in a dose-dependent manner, and the mechanism may be related with the anti-oxidative activity of P2B.

Objective:To evaluate the therapeutic effect of electroacupuncture on acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (sTBI).Methods:A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 126 consecutively hospitalized patients with AGI after sTBI admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019 were enrolled. The patients were divided into observation group and control group by random number table. All the patients of two groups were given conventional treatment of western medicine for consecutive 7 days, including the treatments of primary diseases, indwelling nasogastric tube to extract gastric contents every 6 hours to determine gastric residual volume (GRV). When vital signs were basically stable, enteral nutrition (EN) was implemented and EN feeding amount and speed were adjusted according to GRV. On the basis of conventional western medicine treatment, the observation group was treated with electroacupuncture at Zusanli, Tianshu, Shangjuxu, Xiajuxu and Zhongwan, once in the morning and once in the evening, 30 minutes each time. The gastrointestinal function parameters including intra-abdominal pressure (IAP), serum diamine oxidase (DAO) and gastrointestinal failure (GIF) scores were observed before treatment and at day 3 and day 7 of treatment. The incidence of ICU hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP-ICU), duration of mechanical ventilation (MV), length of ICU stay, 28-day mortality and adverse reactions of electroacupuncture were also observed in the two groups. Kaplan-Meier method was used for 28-day survival analysis.Results:During the 7-day treatment and observation, 26 cases of 126 patients withdrew from the study, and 100 cases were actually enrolled, 50 cases in the observation group and 50 cases in the control group. IAP and DAO at day 3 of treatment in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment [control group: IAP (cmH 2O, 1 cmH 2O = 0.098 kPa) was 13.75±2.76 vs. 18.11±3.97, DAO (U/L) was 129.88±24.81 vs. 158.01±22.64; observation group: IAP (cmH 2O) was 13.56±2.19 vs. 18.50±3.54, DAO (U/L) was 129.11±29.32 vs. 159.36±28.65; all P < 0.01]. The gastrointestinal function parameters of the two groups improved gradually with the extension of treatment time, and the IAP, DAO and GIF scores at day 7 of treatment in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group [IAP (cmH 2O): 11.28±3.61 vs. 12.68±3.23, DAO (U/L): 49.69±17.56 vs. 57.27±20.15, GIF score: 2.02±0.74 vs. 2.40±0.70, all P < 0.05). The duration of MV and the length of ICU stay in the observation group were significantly shorter than those in the control group [duration of MV (days): 15.72±4.60 vs. 18.08±4.54, length of ICU stay (days): 16.76±4.68 vs. 19.26±5.42, both P < 0.05], and the incidence of ICU-HAP and 28-day mortality were significantly lowered (12.0% vs. 30.0%, 22.0% vs. 32.0%, both P < 0.05). Survival analysis showed that the 28-day cumulative survival rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (86.4% vs. 76.1%; Log-Rank test: χ 2 = 37.954, P < 0.001). The patients in the observation group had no significant adverse reaction of electroacupuncture treatment. Conclusion:Electroacupuncture at corresponding acupoints can effectively improve gastrointestinal function in patients with AGI after sTBI, which is beneficial to shortening the length of ICU stay, promoting the recovery of the patients, and reducing the 28-day mortality.

OBJECTIVE:
To assess the association of C677T polymorphism of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene with autistic behavior and inheritance pattern of children patients.
METHODS:
Ninety three autism patients were selected as the study group, whilst 93 healthy children were selected as the control group. The C677T genotype of the MTHFR gene was determined, and the correlation between the genotype and the autistic behavior and inheritance pattern were investigated.
RESULTS:
MTHFR gene C677T locus revealed three genotypes CC, CT and TT. Compared with the control group, the study group had fewer CC genotype but more TT genotype (P<0.05). Individuals with the three genotypes showed a statistically significant difference in the frequencies of four problem behaviors (P<0.05). Regression analysis showed that at least one T allele encoding the degree of 1 and 2 for the 4 problem behaviors that were statistically different. MTHFR gene C677T genotype was associated with autism under the recessive inheritance model and allelic inheritance model (P<0.05).
CONCLUSION
The C677T polymorphism of the MTHFR gene is associated with autistic behaviors. Children with the TT genotype or T allele are at higher risk of developing autism, particularly direct gaze, complex limb movements, self-injurious behavior and hyperactivity 1 and 2 related with the degree of coding.

Objective To further improve the value of clinical application of a quantitative analysis method called LF-index (LFI) which based on real-time tissue elastography (RTE). Methods We prospectively enrolled 116 consecutive patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and all patients underwent a liver biopsy and RTE between January 2015 and December 2015 at the First affiliated hospital of Wenzhou Medical University. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed, and the prediction models for predicting significant fibrosis and cirrhosis were derived from independent predictors. Results (1) In multivariate analyses, spleno-portal index (SPI) (OR=13.956, P=0.002) and LFI (OR=6.283, P=0.023) were confirmed as independent predictors of significant fibrosis. In multivariate analyses of patients with and without cirrhosis, we found significant differences in the γ-Glutamyl transferase (GGT) (OR=1.012, P=0.049), SPI (OR=5.676, P=0.002) and LFI (OR=14.102, P=0.001). (2)A novel model called LFI-SPI score (LSPS) for prediction of significant fibrosis was developed (area under receiver operating characteristic curve [AUROC]=0.87), showing the superiority of diagnostic accuracy than LFI (AUROC=0.76, P=0.0109), aspartate aminotransferase to platelet ratio index (APRI) (AUROC=0.64, P=0.0031), fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) (AUROC=0.67, P= 0.0044) and Fibroscan (AUROC=0.68, P=0.0021). (3) We also developed a LFI-SPI-GGT score (LSPGS) for predicting cirrhosis, with an AUROC of 0.93. The diagnostic accuracy of LSPGS was similar to that of Fibroscan (AUROC=0.85, P=0.134), and was superior to LFI (AUROC=0.81, P=0.0113), APRI (AUROC=0.67, P<0.0001), and FIB-4 (AUROC=0.72, P=0.0005). Conclusions We developed new formulas, LSPS and LSPGS for predicting significant fibrosis and cirrhosis in this prospective study. LSP score was mainly used for screening of significant liver fibrosis, and LSPG score was mainly used to exclude cirrhosis.
