Objective To investigate the effects of two different dosages of dexmedetomidine on short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SLSEP)in intracranial surgery.Methods Forty pa-tients,ASA Ⅰor Ⅱ,aged 20-65 years old,selected for intracranial surgery were randomly divided in-to two groups,20 patients in each group.Bolus dose of 0.5 μg/kg dexmedetomidine was infused within first 10 min and followed by continuous infusion of 0.5 μg·kg-1·h-1 for 10 min in group A;Bolus dose of 1.0 μg/kg dexmedetomidine was infused within first 10 mins and followed by continu-ous infusion of 1.0 μg·kg-1·h-1 for 10 min in group B.SLSEP indications include N20-P25 amplitute and N20 latent period were observed.MAP,HR,N20-P25 amplitute and N20 latent period were re-corded respectively before dexmedetomidine adminstraition (T0 )and 20 mins after dexmedetomidine adminstraition (T1 ).Results Compared with T0 ,MAP and HR at T1 significantly decreased in both groups(P <0.05).N20-P25 amplitude had no statistically significant difference in both groups,while N20 latent period significantly prolonged (P <0.05).Conclusion Both doses of 0.5 μg/kg and 1.0μg/kg dexmedetomidine can significantly prolong the latent period of N20.

This study was aimed to observe the effect ofJia-Shen prescription (JSP) on angiotensinⅡ (AngⅡ) inhibition, ventricular remodeling in myocardial infarction (MI) rat model. The anterior descending coronary artery of Sprague-Dawley rat was ligated to establish the MI rat model. Rats were randomly divided into the 3 g JSP group, 6 g JSP group, losartan group, model group, and the sham-operation group. Intragastric administration of medication was given 24 h after MI. In the 3 g and 6 g JSP group, JSP was given at the dose of 3 g·kg-1·day-1 and 6 g·kg-1day-1, respectively. Losartan was given at the dose of 10 mg·kg-1·day-1 in the losartan group. Same volume of distilled water was given to the sham-operation and model group. Four weeks later, the left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), posterior wall thickness (PWT), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), left ventricular fractional shorten (LVFS), left ventricular weight index (LVWI), the distribution and content of collagen, plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and the AngⅡ content in myocardial tissues homogenate were observed. The results showed that 4 weeks after MI, compared to the model group, 6 g PJP reduced myocardial infarct size, LVWI, LVEDD and LVESD, and enhanced LVEF and LVFS (P< 0.05). In ischemic regions, compared to the model group, JSP can obviously reduce the content of collagen (P < 0.05). This effect had dose-dependent relationship. Plasma BNP and AngⅡ content in myocardial tissues homogenate were also obviously lower than the model group (P< 0.05). It was concluded that JSP can improve the ventricular remodeling of MI rat model. Its action mechanism may be through the AngⅡ inhibition, in order to improve the early stage left ventricular morphological remodeling, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac contractile function.

Objective To study the causes for dysphoria and discuss the medication methods of controlling the dysphoria in craniocerebral injury patients. Methods First, craniocerebral injury patients were grouped to analyze the causes for their dyshoria. Then, the patients were injected with Tramadol (1 mg/kg), Droperidol (0.05 mg/kg) and Midazolam (0.1 mg/kg). Successively, analgestic pump containing combined Tramadol that included Tramadol (15 mg/kg), Droperidol (0.15 mg/kg), Midazolam (0.4 mg/kg) and 100 ml 10 g/L Procaine was used for 50 hours, (1.5-2.5) ml/h, continuously. The medication time ranged from 40 hours to 160 hours. Results Of 71 patients with dysphoria, 43 patients with grades Ⅰ and Ⅱ dysphoria were under complete control, 19 with grade Ⅲ dysphoria (eight were injected with more load) under basic control, one with grade Ⅳ dysphoria under control and eight degraded to grade Ⅱ dysphoria but needed additional load. Of all, 63 patients were successfully controlled (89%) and eight (11%) got better, with effectiveness rate of 100%. Blood pressure, heart rate and breath remained clam, which was good for oxygen transferring to brain and reducing of encephalic pressure. Conclusions The causes for dysphoria in craniocerebral injury patients include stimulation of pain and acute psychopathic impediment. Continuous injection of Tramadol via analgesic pump is an ideal medication methhod for analgesia and sedation, for it can not only hold blood and medicament in invariableness, but also make the patients quiet, without bad reaction or affecting process of regaining consciousness.

Background and purpose:Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET/CT) is playing an increasingly important role in the diagnosis, therapy and follow-up of lymphoma patients. This study aimed to explore clinical and pathological features and bone marrow infiltration status in lymphoma patients with diffused high bone marrow glucose uptake on18F-FDG PET/CT.Methods:It was a retrospective study. Bone marrow infiltration status, pathological and clinical data from 62 cases of pathologically diagnosed lymphoma and diffused high bone marrow glucose uptake were analyzed.Results:Distribution of histopathological subtype in those cases was in accordance with that in previously reported Chinese lymphoma patients. Significant difference was demonstrated in standard uptake value (SUV) between pa-tients with aggressive and indolent histopathological subtypes (8.43vs 5.38,P=0.048), patients with and without B symp-toms (8.30vs 5.72,P=0.033), and patients with and without bone marrow infiltration (8.78vs 6.96,P=0.020). 32 patients were diagnosed as “bone marrow infiltration” by bone marrow biopsy. There was significant difference in histopathologi-cal subtype distribution between patients with and without bone marrow infiltration (P=0.001). In patients with bone marrow infiltration, there were higher proportions of mantle cell lymphoma, nodal marginal zone B cell lymphoma, Burkitt’s lym-phoma and anaplastic large cell lymphoma. In contrast, patients without bone marrow infiltration suffered more from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, peripheral T cell lymphoma, enteropathic T cell lymphoma and extranodal NK/T-cell lymphoma (nasal type). False positive results in bone marrow glucose uptake may be caused by fever or anemia.Conclusion:Diffused high bone marrow glucose uptake on18F-FDG PET/CT should be evaluated in combination with the uptake values, clinical features and histological subtypes, to minimize the misdiagnosis and to better guide staging and therapy of lymphoma.

To meet the needs of management of medical case information and biospecimen simultaneously, we developed a novel medical case information system integrating with biospecimen management. The database established by MS SQL Server 2000 covered, basic information, clinical diagnosis, imaging diagnosis, pathological diagnosis and clinical treatment of patient; physicochemical property, inventory management and laboratory analysis of biospecimen; users log and data maintenance. The client application developed by Visual C++ 6.0 was used to implement medical case and biospecimen management, which was based on Client/Server model. This system can perform input, browse, inquest, summary of case and related biospecimen information, and can automatically synthesize case-records based on the database. Management of not only a long-term follow-up on individual, but also of grouped cases organized according to the aim of research can be achieved by the system. This system can improve the efficiency and quality of clinical researches while biospecimens are used coordinately. It realizes synthesized and dynamic management of medical case and biospecimen, which may be considered as a new management platform.

Myocardial fibrosis is featured by excessive proliferation of cardiac fibroblast and collagen deposition. There is close relationship between myocardial fibrosis and various cardiovascular disease, and it is potential risk factor for sudden death. At present the precise mechanism remains unclear.Myocardial fibrosis has been found to relate with renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system,cell factor,oxidative stress,inflamatory factor,endothelial function obstacles,Intracellular calcium ion. These factors influences the occurrence of myocardial fibrosis by the same or different pathway.

Objective To investigate the bacterial resistance in nationwide and understand the distribution of bacterial and resistance trend.MethodsThe 6507 clinical isolates were collected from 19 hospitals in 17 cities.The susceptibility tests were performed using agar dilution method recommended by Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) in central laboratory.The values of MIC50,MIC90 and MICrange were calculated by SPSS 17.0 and the susceptibilities of isolates to antimicrobial agents were determined by using CLSI (2010) guideline.Of all 6507 isolates,4691 strains were collected from target wards and 1816 were isolated from others wards.ResultsAmong 4691 strains,1156 were Gram-positive (24.6％ ) and 3535 were Gram-negative (75.4％).Based on the minimum inhibitory concentration results,the prevalence of methicillin resistant Stapylococcus aureus and methicillin resistant Stapylococcus epidermidis are 51.6％ ( 325/630 ) and 87.0％ ( 228/262 ) respectively.Staphylococci showing intermediate or full resistance to vancomycin were not observed. Coagulase negative Staphylococci showed 2.5％ (16/642)intermediate rate and 1.6％ ( 10/642 ) full resistance rate to teicoplanin,and showed 0.5％ ( 3/642 )resistance rate to linezolid.Antibiotic resistance rate of Enterococcus faecalis to ampicillin was 17.1％(19/111),while the resistance rate of Enterococcus faecium to ampicillin reached up to 85.0％(164/193).Three Enterococcus faecium were resistant to glycopeptides.The prevalence of penicillin resistance Streptococcus pneumoniae and penicillin intermediate Streptococcus pneumoniae were 41.2％ ( 145/352) and 37.2％ (131/352) respectively based on oral penicillin criterion,while the prevalence were 0.0％ (0/352) and 6.0％(21/352) based on vein to non-meningitis criterion.A vast majority of Enterobacteriaceae maintained high susceptibility to carbapenems,with resistance rate less than 2.0％.In addition,tigecycline,moxalactam,fosfomycin and amikacin displayed desirable antibacterial activity against Enterbacteriaceae,and resistance rates to these drugs were all less than 10.0％.For non-fermenting Gramnegative isolates,resistance rate of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii to imipenem were 23.1％ ( 139/601 ) and 53.5％ (419/784) respectively.Resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii was much higher than that during the period 2007 - 2008.Colistin,tigecycline,minocycline and fosfomycin demonstrated good antibacterial activity against Acinetobacter baumannii in vitro.Conclusions Compared with MOHNARIN 2007 -2008year surveillance results, significant increase in resistance rate of Acinetobacter baumannii was demonstrated.Resistant strains to linezolid and tigecycline were found.Bacterial resistance has been a widespread problem in our country,which requires much more attention.

Over the past decade, the management model of cancer patients has gradually shifted to individual mode based on molecular mutation detection. Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) gene mutation is an important driving factor in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Compared with traditional chemotherapy, EGFR-targeted therapy shows significant safety and efficacy. However, not all patients with EGFR mutations are eligible for EGFR-targeted therapy, and different types of mutations often indicate different clinical outcomes, such as the sensitive mutations EGFR 19-Del, L858R, and the resistance mutation. In addition, the third-generation TKI drugs Osimertinib (AZD9291) and Rociletinib (CO-1686) have been developed to further benefit patients with primary TKI resistance caused by T790M mutation of EGFR. Therefore, detection of the EGFR mutation status of patients before treatment, and continuously monitoring the mutation of drug resistance genes during the treatment process is useful for the management of targeted drugs in NSCLC patients. In recent years, the rapid development of "liquid biopsy" technology has made it possible to use non-invasive methods to monitor drug resistance mutations in real time. In this paper, we reviewed the clinical application of various non-invasive detection techniques for EGFR mutations in NSCLC in different liquid samples.

To explore the relationship between paediatric early warning score (PEWS) and the occurrence of mechanical ventilation complications in children with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
 Methods: A total of 110 children with ARDS diagnosed in First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University, who underwent mechanical ventilation, were selected. The baseline data, blood gas analysis index, laboratory test index, ventilator parameters, pediatric critical illness score (PCIS) and PEWS in the children were recorded. With reference to ventilatory treatment results, the children with ventilator-associated complications were included in the trial group (n=20), while the patients with good cohort status were included in the control group (n=40) according to the nested case-control study. Independent sample t-test and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the factors affecting the occurrence of complications after ventilatory treatment.
 Results: There were statistically significant differences in multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), partial pressure of oxygen/fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), serum creatinine (SCr), albumin (ALB), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), mechanical ventilation time, mean article pressure (MAP), tidal volume (VT), positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP), PCIS, PEWS between the control group and the experimental group (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that MODS, PaO2/FiO2, PaCO2, VT, PEEP and PEWS had influence on complications after mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS (all P<0.05).
 Conclusion: The MODS, PaO2/FiO2, PaCO2, VT, PEEP, and PEWS exert effects on complications after mechanical ventilation in children with ARDS. PEWS combined with other indicators can assess the risk of complications in children with ARDS after mechanical ventilation.

OBJECTIVE：To investigate the effects of Shenfu yixin decoction on the utilization of fatty acid in primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and its potential mechanism. METHODS ：The apical tissue of neonatal SD rats with 1-3 days old were collected ， and the primary cardiomyocytes were isolated ，cultured and identified. The cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into normal group，model group ，coenzyme Q 10 group（positive control ，1×10－4 mol/L），Shenfu yixin decoction low-dose and high-dose groups（0.25，0.5 mg/mL）. Except for normal group ，cells in other groups were cultured under 5％O2，5％CO2 and 90％N2 for 6 hours to induce hypoxic injury model. After 6 hours of hypoxia ，the content of ATP was detected by luciferase luminescence assay. Western blotting assay was adopted to detect the expression of FAT/CD 36，PPARα and PPARβ/δ. RESULTS：Compared with normal group ，the content of ATP and relative expression of FAT/CD 36 protein were decreased significantly in model group （P＜ 0.05）. Compared with model group ，the content of ATP was increased significantly in coenzyme Q 10 group and Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group ，while the relative expression of FAT/CD 36 and PPARα protein in coenzyme Q10 group，the relative expression of FAT/CD 36 protein in Shenfu yixin decoction high-dose group as well as the relative expression of PPARα and PPARβ/δ protein in Shenfu yixin decoction groups were decreased significantly （P＜0.05）. CONCLUSIONS ：Shenfu yixin decoction can inhibit the utilization of fatty acid of primary hypoxic cardiomyocytes and improve their energy metabolism by inhibiting the expression of FAT/CD 36，PPARα and PPARβ/δ protein.
