Objective To discuss the influence on peripheral circulation and oxygenation of different colloid osmotic pressure (COP) in pediatric cardiac surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Sixty cases of non-cyanotic congenital heart disease patients under 10 kg were randomly selected and divided into 3 groups(n =20) according to the different COP level.COP values was adjusted by the ultrafiltration technique and colloid addition.The perioperative(T1-T6) arterial lactate level,different value between skin and rectal temperature,peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO2) and oxygenation index (OI) were observed in order to determine the different effect on peripheral circulation and oxygenation.Meanwhile,mechanical ventilation time and ICU time were recorded.Results The variation tendency of arterial lactate level was similar in each group,the value in the COP ＞ 18 mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa) group(group C) was significantly higher than COP 10-15 mmHg group (group A) and COP 16-18 mmHg group (group B) in T3 and T4,after CPB weaned,the values of Group A (1.25 ± 0.42) and Group C (1.33 ± 0.51) were higher than Group B (0.71 ± 0.29) at T6 point (P ＜ 0.05);the variation tendency of SpO2 was similar in each group too,the value of group C was significantly lower than group A and B at T5 point,the values of group A and C were significantly lower than group B at T6 point,P ＜ 0.05;the different value between skin and rectal temperature in group A was significantly higher than group B and C from T1 to T2 point(P ＜0.05),but not in T3 to T6 point;The minimal OI values of all the groups were appeared in T4 point,group B value was significantly higher than A and C in all time point,group C value was the lowest(P ＜0.05);the mechanical ventilation time in group B(2.13 ± 1.36) days and group C (2.93 ± 1.69) days were significantly lower than group A (3.83 ± 1.47) days,P ＜ 0.05.ICU time of group B (3.9 ± 1.1) days was significantly lower than group A (5.7 ± 2.5) days and C (6.0 ± 1.5) days.Conclusion During the pediatric CPB,the improper COP level will lead to bad oxygenation and poor peripheral circulation,got different prognosis ultimately.A reasonable COP level(16-18 mmHg) will do benefits to all the pediatric patients.

Objective To introduce iris recognition application in human assisted reproductive technology and set up an iris registration platform and an iris recognition platform for patients .Methods Every patient′s iris was used as the only code.The complicated verification of identity cards and birth permit was replaced by the digital service platform .We set up a database for basic information ,and electronic records of treatment and follow-up for centralized management .Results and Conclusion Compared to other authentication systems ,this iris digital system is easy and efficient .It can more effectively eliminate replacement and prevent medical disputes .The time taken to check the information of each patient is shortened to twenty seconds .

AIM: To synthesize biodegradable poly lactic acid (PLA) through the optimization and selection of process and catalyst.METHODS: This experiment was performed at the Research Center for Green Chemistry and Technology in the School of Municipal and Environmental Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology from February 2003 to October 2004. Biodegradable poly L-lactic acid (PLLA) was synthesis by melt polycondensation using L-lactic acid (LA) as material. Firstly, oligo L-lactic acid (OLLA) was prepared by dehydrating aqueous solution of LA without catalyst. And then, the mixture of OLLA and catalyst was heated at a certain temperature and pressure for a period of time to get the product of PLLA. The structure of PLLA was characterized by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectra and 1H- nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectra. The polydispersity was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC).RESULTS: OLLA with the viscosity average molecular weight (Mη) of 6 500 g/mol was prepared by the following steps: the solution of LA without catalyst was dehydrated at 140 ℃, first at reduced pressure of 30 kPa for 2 hours, and then at 5 kPa for 4 hours. SnCl2-p-toluenesulfonic acid (TSA) system was the effective catalyst for the polycondensation of OLLA. After the mixture of OLLA and catalysts polycondensed at 165 ℃ and 5 kPA for about 8 hours, PLLA with the Mη of 65 000 g/mol was obtained by using SnCl2-TSA system as catalyst with the SnCl2 amount of 0.4wt% to OLLA and equal mol ratio of SnCl2 and TSA.CONCLUSION:PLLA with a certain practicability was obtained under the optimal process and catalyst. Oligomerization of LA played an important role on improving the molecular weight of PLLA.

Objectives To investigate serum levels of B cell activating factor(BAFF)in Chinese patients with polymyositis(PM)or dermatomyositis(DM),and analyze the correlation of BAFF with autoantibodies and clinical phenotypes.Methods Serum BAFF levels of 28 PM patients and 30 DM patients(study group),and 25 matched healthy controls(control group)were measured by ELISA.Serum anti-Jo-1 antibody levels were also measured by ELISA in all the subjects.The results of the two groups were compared by unpaired t test and the relevance was analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis.Results Serum levels of BAFF in PM/DM patients were significantly higher compared to healthy controls(P =0.000),but there was no statistically significant difference between the PM and DM patients(P ＞ 0.05).Patients with interstitial lung disease(ILD)had significantly higher serum BAFF level than the patients without ILD(P =0.000)or the controls(P =0.000).Serum BAFF levels of patients with positive antinuclear antibody(ANA)were significantly higher than those with negative ANA(P =0.003).For patients with anti-Jo-1 antibodies,the serum BAFF levels were correlated with the serum concentration of anti-Jo-1 antibodies(r =0.799,P =0.006).Conclusions Serum levels of BAFF are increased in Chinese PM/DM patients.These findings indicate that BAFF may be possibly enrolled in the pathogenesis of PM/DM.Detecting serum BAFF levels could have some implication for the diagnosis and treatment of PM/DM.
