BACKGROUND: A total of 300 SD rats were used for blood sampling. In abdominal aorta approach, the best puncture point was the abdominal aortic bifurcation 1-3 mm towards the heart, with a success rate of 93.6%. In posterior orbital venous plexus approach, the needle was vertically inserted into the inner canthus and rotated toward the eyeground to open venous plexus (success rate 89.9%). In cardiac puncture approach, below the xiphoid process, the needle punctured into the skin with 25°-30° oblique upward, through the diaphragm until 2.5-3.0 cm deep (success rate 83.4%). In tail end approach, surgical scissors cut off 5-10 mm tail top (success rate 94.4%). In jugular vein approach, the needle was horizontally inserted along the fourth rib into the skin until the jugular vein, about 5 mm deep, at 30°-40° with the chest surface (success rate 80.9%). A large blood volume could be obtained by abdominal aorta approach, which leads to less haemolysis and no hurt to organs, no gas embolism or haemostasis caused by inappropriate operation. But each approach has advantages and drawbacks, the selective principle should be based on experimental require.

Objective To observe the influence of warm ischemia time on acquisition of rat pancreatic islets and islet function.Method Male Wistar rats were used.After heart beats stopped,the pancreases in four groups of rats were harvested,and warm ischemia time was 0,15,30 and 45 min separately.The pancrease was preserved in UW at 4℃C for 8 h,and subjected to injection of collagenase solutions.After islets were acquired,the purity,survival rate and islet activity were tested,and statistical analysis was performed.Result The number of islets obtained in 0 min group,15 min group,30 min group and 45 min group was (433 ± 41),(396 ± 38),(350 ± 31) and (66 ± 17)IEQ/one,islet viability was 94％,88％,77％ and 25％,and purity was 88％,78％,60％ and 32％,and insulin release index was 2.38 ± 0.23,2.25 ± 0.18,2.19-± 0.18 and 1.25 ± 0.12,respectively.There was no significant difference in islet number,purity,survival rate and activity 15 min group and 30 min group between 15 min group or 30 min group and 0 min group (P＞0.05).There was significant difference between 45 min group and 0 min group in islet number,purity,survival rate and activity (P＜0.05).The survival rate and purity in 45 min group were lower than the clinical standards for islet transplantation (survival rate ＞ 75％,and purity ＞ 50％).Conclusion Warm ischemia time of 15 min in non-heart-beating brain death(NHBD) rats had no effect on islet isolation and purification.Warm ischemia time within 30 min showed no significant influence on islets of NHBD rats,which can be used in islet transplantation.Warm ischemia time at 45 min showed significant influence on islets of NHBD rats,which can't be used in islet transplantation.

Objective Compared with the effect of thromboembolectomy assisted with intraoperative digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and traditional method,evaluate the value of intraoperative DSA on surgical procedures for acute lower limb arterial embolism. Methods Sixeight cases of traditional thromboembolectomy to take on the operation (group A) and 72 cases under the DSA operation (group B)were analyzed during January 2005 to December 2009, Comparing two sets of operation (time, the amount of bleeding and the ankle brachial index changes before and after the surgery , amputations rate). Results The operation time of group B [(76 ±17) min] was less than that of group A [(95 ± 22) min, t =5. 736, P ＜ 0. 01] ; the amount of bleeding of group B [(83 ± 35 ) ml] was significantly less than group A [(102 ± 58 ) ml, t = 2. 362, P ＜ 0. 05]; The difference of ABI in group B after the operation than before (0. 32 ±0. 08) than that in group A(0. 25 ±0. 12) had remarkably improved ( t =2. 33, P ＜0. 05) ;there were 8 patient amputations in group A and 2 in group B ( u = 2. 06 , P＜ 0. 05 ); there were 2 patients died in group A and one in group B ( P ＞ 0.05 ). Conclusion Thromboembolectomy assisted with DSA can be accurate assessment of the arteries embolism position, elevate the success rate in the operation ,reduce the rate of amputation saws.

Objective To evaluate serum cystatin C combined with dipstick proteinuria as early markers to predict AKI available before surgery.Methods We prospectively followed 616 patients undergoing cardiac surgery.Univariate as well as multivariate regression was performed.Cystatin C combined with dipstick proteinuria before surgery was assessed for its' predictive value of AKI using receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curves.Results Patients in higher cystatin C quartiles were older(P ＜ 0.001),more often to have heavy proteinuria(P =0.021),hyperuricemia(P ＜ 0.001),heart failure(P ＜ 0.001)and recent MI (P =0.002).Those with heavy proteinuria were more often to have diabetes mellitus (DM) (P =0.010),hyperuricemia (P =0.043),worse cardiac function (P ＜ 0.001),higher creatinine levels (P ＜ 0.001) and lower eGFR levels (P ＜0.001).In a multiple logistic regression model,preoperative heavy proteinuria(OR =3.14) and preoperative cystatin C quartiles each associated with an increased odds of AKI,independent of advanced age (OR =1.04),hypertension (OR =1.88) and combined surgery(OR =3.47).The risk for adverse outcomes such as postoperative AKI,persistent AKI,severe AKI,dialysis and mortality were highest in patients with highest quartile of cystatin C(P ＜0.05,respectively) and heavy proteinuria (P ＜ 0.05,respectively).The area under the ROC curve(AUCs) for preoperative cystatin C combined with proteinuria to detect AKI,persistent AKI and severe AKI were 0.695,0.753 and 0.718,P ＜0.001 respectively.Conclusion These data suggest that preoperative serum cystatin C combined with dipstick proteinuria may improve prediction of AKI among patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

BACKGROUND:The use of donor rat of cardiac death inevitably experiences warm ischemia injury, so the length of warm ischemia time plays a significant role on the number and function of pancreatic islet obtained. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of Exendin-4 on pancreatic islet function of donor rats with cardiac death at different heat ischemia time. METHODS:Islet cells from Wistar rats were cultured in vitro and randomly divided into three groups according to the experimental conditions:0, 30, 45 min heat ischemia groups. Each group was further assigned into two subgroups, control group was cultured for 24 hours while experimental group wad cultured with 10 nmol/L Exendin-4 for 24 hours. The number of isolated pancreatic islets was calculated with diphenylthiocarbazone staining, and the purity of the extracted islets was adjusted. The viability of the islets was examined by AO/EB staining, and insulin secretion index assay was used to detect the function of the islets. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:With the time of heat ischemia increasing, the number, purity, viability and function of islet cells obtained were decreased. After the cells in heat ischemia 0, 30, 45 min groups were cultured with 10 nmol/L Exendin-4 for 24 hours, the number, purity and viability of isolated and purified islets were increased compared to the group without added Exendin-4. There was significant difference between experimental group and control group in 30-minute and 45-minute ischemia groups (P<0.05). Exendin-4 can protect pancreatic islet cells in donor rats with cardiac death at different heat ischemia times, reduce the apoptosis, and improve islet survival and functions. The use of Exendin-4 can be an effective pretreatment method at early ischemia phase of islet transplantation.

AIM: To investigate the antitussive and antiasthmatic activities and diuretic activity of Morrus alba L. before and after being processed. METHODS: The antitussive and antiasthmatic activities in vivo (hypersensitivity) and in vitro (functional experiments) of Morrus alba L. before and after being processed were investigated. The diuretic activity of Morrus alba L. before and after being processed also were studied on rat and rabbit models. RESULTS: The processed Morrus alba L. could inhibite histamine-induced airway hypersensitivity. It's diuretic activity was lower but its antitussive activity was better. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that there are some differentes between Morrus alba L. before and after being processed in antitussive, antiasthmatic and diuretic activities. The diuretic activity of crude Morrus alba L. is superior to the processed Morrus alba L. But its antitussive and antiasthmatic activities are inferior to the processed Morrus alba L.

A case of lipoblastomatosis occuring in a 1 year and 10 month old boy is described. The tumor was first presented in the left foot at his age of 4 month, and was surgically removed. The tumor was grossly infiltrating skeletal muscle tissue, and was microscopically composed of lobulated fat tissue with prominent myxoid stroma and many immature mesenchymal cells and scattered multivacuolated lipoblasts. The tumor recurred 11/2 years later and was again removed. The tumor was equally lobulated and located inbetween skeletal muscle. However, this time lobulated tumor consisted almost entirely of mature fat tissue with scattered lipoblasts.

Objective To compare the RIFLE and AKIN diagnosis criteria for acute kidney injury ( AKI) in patients undergoing cardiac surgery. Methods Patients undergoing cardiac surgery from January 2004 to June 2007 were retrospectively evaluated. RIFLE and AKIN criteria were employed for the diagnosis and staging of AKI which occurred 7 d after cardiac surgery. The diagnosis sensitivity and precision for prediction of hospital mortality were compared between these two criteria. Results One thousand and fifty-six patients were included in this study. There was no significant difference between the prevalence of AKI after cardiac surgery diagnosed by RIFLE criteria and that diagnosed by AKIN criteria (29.55% vs 31.06%, P>0.05). There was no significant difference between the total hospital mortality and the hospital mortality of each stage of AKI diagnosed by RIFLE criteria and those diagnosed by AKIN criteria ( P > 0. 05). Logistic regression analysis suggested that the relative risk of hospital mortality for AKI was similar between patients diagnosed by AKIN criteria and those diagnosed by RIFLE criteria. The area under the ROC curve for hospital mortality was 0. 856 for RIFLE and 0.865 for AKIN in all patients (P<0.001). Conclusion Compared to RIFLE criteria, AKIN criteria do not improve the sensitivity of diagnosis and predictive ability of hospital mortality of AKI after cardiac surgery.

Objective To summarize experience of nursing for thoracic breathing reconstruction in patients after cervical spinal cord in-jury (CSCI). Methods 6 cases accepting thoracic breathing reconstruction in our hospital from March 2013 to June 2014 were reviewed from 1 week before operation to 4 weeks after operation. Results All the patients, aged (41.7 ± 16.2) years, received tracheotomy (6.0 ± 5.8) days after injury because of weakened cough, retention of respiratory secretions and dyspnea;the ventilator was used for (45.3±25.9) days, and they received thoracic breathing reconstruction surgery (84±26.7) days after injury. Their vital capacity was (1085±92) ml before opera-tion and was (1680±283) ml 2 weeks after operation with 55%increment (P<0.01). Only 1 patient underwent a delayed wound healing. No pulmonary infection, urinary tract infections and pressure sore occurred until 4 weeks after operation. Conclusion Enhancement of airway care and prevention of pressure sore are the keys to reduce postoperative complications of thoracic breathing reconstruction.
