Objective: To observe the clinical effect of sodium nitroprusside and dopamine injected by micro pump for the treatment of refractory heart failure. Methods:One hundred and six cases of patients with refractory heart failure were chosen as the research object, which were cardiac functionⅢ~Ⅳlevel. All patients were treated with sodium nitroprusside and dopamine injected by micro pump. Starting dose of sodium nitroprusside was 6.25 μg/min. At same time pumping dopamine, starting dose of 2 g/kg·min, the dose was increased gradually until blood pressure dropped to 90~100 mm Hg, continuous 7~10 d, the signs and symptoms after treatment and parameters of cardiac function and adverse reactions were observed. Results: 1)In 106 cases of patients with refractory heart failure after treatment, the total effective rate 85.85%(91/106). 2)The heart rate, blood pressure, cardiothoracic ratio, left ventricular short axis reduced rate,cardiac output, each index of cardiac,indexes of left ventricular ejection fraction were improved significantly after treatment. Conclusion:The clinical effect for the treatment of refractory heart failure by using the micro pump injection of small doses of sodium nitroprusside combined dopamine would be obvious, have less adverse reactions, worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective: To observe cardiorespiratory effects of biphasic positive airway pressure(BIPAP)ventilation in healthy canines. Method: Eleven healthy mongrel dogs were anesthetized, and supported with BIPAP or intermittent positive pressure ventilation (IPPV) in supine position with spontaneous breathing. The cardiorespiratory parameters during BIPAP were compared with those in IPPV. Result: (1)With equal value of VE, Ppeak, MPaw, Q_S/Q_T, VO_2, VO_2/DO_2 in BIPAP were significantly lower than those in IPPV (P

AIM: To investigate the influence of predator stress on hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and IL-1?, IL-6 in mice with brain asymmetry. METHODS: By using paw preference test, right-pawed, left-pawed, and ambidextrous-pawed mice model were established. Mice with brain lateralization were exposed to their predator (cat). After acute and chronic predator stress by cats, EIA and ELISA were applied to detect plasma levels of corticosterone (CS), IL-1? and IL-6. RESULTS: (1) The level of plasma CS: in both acute and chronic predator stress group, right-pawed and ambidextrous mice had a higher level than that in their corresponding normal group (P

[Objective]To study the effect of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament with hamstring tendons and mini-plates.[Method]Thirteen cases of anterior cruciate ligament ruptures were reconstructed arthroscopically with over six strands of hamstring tendons in way of one-bundle and two-tunnel reconstruction.The grafts were fixed with suspension technique by mini-plates.The patients were followed up for one year.The clinical results were evaluated according to Lysholm rating scale.[Result]Twelve patients(92.31%) had negative Lachman test,and one patient showed positive Lachman test.Pivot shift test was negative in 12 cases,and was positive in one case.The Lysholm score increases from 47.77?1.96 to 95.38?4.74(P

Objective To evaluate whether the predictive value of admission hyperglycemia for mortality differs between diabetics and non-diabetics with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods A total of 1534 consecutive patients admitted with ACS to Central Control Unit of Beijing Friendship Hospital were analyzed.Among these patients,1332 patients who had a venous plasma glucose record at admission were retrospectively enrolled and were stratified according to admission glucose levels with or without diabetes.The primary end point was in-hospital and 2-year all-cause mortality.Results In patients without a history of diabetes,649 patients had glucose level ≤7.8 mmol/L(group A),204 patients with 7.8-11.0 mmol/L (group B) and 142 patients ＞ 11.0 mmol/L (group C).Of those with diabetes,124 patients were in group A,142 in group B and 126 in group C.By Cox regression analysis,admission hyperglycemia (group B,HR 1.48,P =0.05 ; group C,HR 2.78,P ＜ 0.001) was an independent predictor of long-term all-cause mortality in patients without diabetes.In patients with diabetes,blood glucose ＞ 11.0 mmol/L (group C,HR 2.68,P ＜ 0.001) also independently predicted long-term all-cause mortality.Conclusions Compared with the diabetic patients,elevation of blood glucose at admission is common in ACS patients without definite history of diabetes.Admission hyperglycemia should be considered as a risk factor strongly correlated with in-hospital and 2-year all-cause mortality in patients with ACS.

Objective To compare bone marrow and lymph node biopsy specimens of two kinds of multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins expression and clinical significance in untreated non-Hodgkin lymphoma.Methods We developed multiparameter flow cytometric assay to quantify expression of these multidrug resistance (MDR) proteins in lymph node viable blasts and reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method to semi-quantitate mdrl mRNA of non-Hodgkin lymphomas, including 41 lymph node and 37 bone marrow, and further study of the correlation of the multidrug resistance proteins with general clinical parameters and treatment outcome. Results In two kinds of samples P-gp, MRP and LRP over-expression of three kinds of drug-resistant gene and frequencies are very low. Patients with P-gp expression had a poor outcome of chemotherapy than those without P-gp (P ＜0.05), Patients with LRP expression had poor outcome of chemotherapy than those without LRP (P ＜0.01). In the lymph node, P-gp expression was associated with higher clinical stage (P = 0.046), elevated serum lactate dehydrogenase levels (P ＜0.05). MRP wasn' t associated with higher clinical stage (P =0.369), elevated LDH (P =0.762) and higher malignant degree(P =0.214). LRP expression was associated with higher clinical stage, elevated LDH and higher malignant degree (P ＜0.05). And in the bone marrow, LRP expression was associated with elevated LDH (P =0.003), but the others have no differences. Conclusion These data suggest that P-gp and LRP expression are important mechanism of drug resistance associated with worse clinical outcome in previously untreated NHL. The use oflymph node biopsy to detect drug-resistant protein can provide more accurate clinical information than that of bone marrow.
