Objective:To discuss what impact prone position ventilation (PPV) plays in treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrom (ARDS)originating from pulmonary disease(ARDSp) and extra-pulmonary disease(ARDSexp).Methods: Retrospective case-control cohorts study. Sixty patients with ARDS were included, were classified two groups which were originated from pulmonary disease(n=30) and extra-pulmonary disease(n=30), they were ventilated in PPV. And oxygenation of 0,2,4, and 6 hours in PPV, static compliance(Cst), airway resistance(Raw) of were evaluated. The Ultrasonic Cardiac Output Monitor was applied to monitor the cardiac function.Results:At 2 hours after ventilation in ARDSexp group, PaO2/FiO2 have been improved significantly. The longer duration of PPV seemed to be associated with continuous improvement and peaks at 4 hours. In ARDSexp group PaO2/FiO2 after ventilation at 3 hours exceeds the other groups. At 4 hours after ventilation, PaO2/FiO2 of both ARDSp and ARDSexp groups of PPV have been improved than that of supine position. After ventilation for 4 hours, the RAW of ARDSp decreases dramatically and considerably below the other groups.Conclusion: PPV was a safe and effective maneuver for improving oxygenation in patients with ARDSp and ARDSexp. Both ARDSp and ARDSexp clearly appear to benefit from PPV, particularly in ARDSexp group. PPV aslo influenced haemodynamics in patients rarely.

Objective To explore the effects of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the motor function of lower limbs of patients with cerebral infarction.Methods Sixty stroke survivors with lower limb dysfunctionwere randomly assigned to an rTMS treatment group or a control group,each of 30.Both groups were given routine medication and rehabilitation treatment,while the treatment group was additionally provided with 4 weeks of rTMS treatment of the contra-lesional M1 at 1 Hz and 90％ motor threshold.The Fugl-Meyer motor assessment (FMA) and maximum walking speed (MWS) were used to assess both groups before and after the treatment and 2 weeks later.Adverse reactions were also recorded.Results Before the intervention,no differences were found between the two groups.After the treatment and two weeks after that,significant improvement was observed in the average FMA and 10 m MWS of both groups,with significantly more improvement in the treatment group than among the controls.No obvious adverse reactions were observed in either group.Conclusions rTMS can improve the motor function of the affected lower limbs of stroke patients safely.

Objective To observe the expression of Klotho and Na+/Pi cotransporter in high phosphorous-induced rats with 5/6 nephrectomy and its relationship with vascular calcification,as well as to investigate the effect of early intervention by sodium thiosulfate (STS) on the progression of vascular calcification.Methods Either 5/6 nephrectomy (n=21) or sham operation (n=14) was conducted on 35 Sprague Dawley rats,who were then fed with high phosphorus (HP) diet or normal phosphorus (NP) diet for 16 weeks respectively.The rats were divided into 5 groups as follows:(1) remnant kidney rats receiving HP diet (NHP,n=7),(2) remnant kidney rats receiving NP diet (NNP,n=7),(3) sham operation rats receiving NP diet (SNP,n=7),(4) sham operation rats receiving HP diet (SHP,n=7),(5) remnant kidney rats receiving HP diet with STS (THP,n=7).The treatment group was given STS intraperitoneally three times a week for 16 weeks.At the end of the 16th week,rats tail artery blood pressures were tested,serum creatinine (Scr),calcium (Ca2+),phosphorus (P3+),FGF23,iPTH and urine protein were examined.Throacic aorta and kidney were then removed.Vascular calcification was confirmed by Von kossa staining.Klotho and Pit-1 expression in aortas were determined by immunohistochemistry.Renal lesion was determined by PASM-Masson staining.Renal Klotho and NaPi-2a mRNA were determined by real time RT-PCR.Results After 16 weeks,Scr,p3+,FGF23,iPTH,uric protein and blood pressure were significantly higher in NHP than those in SNP rats (all P ＜ 0.05).PASM-Masson staining revealed typical renal pathology of chronic renal failure in NHP group.With the treatment of STS,THP rats showed significant decrease in Scr,t3+,FGF23,iPTH,uric protein and blood pressure by comparison with NHP group (all P ＜ 0.05).Significant vascular calcification was found in NHP group while NNP and SHP group occasionally had vascular calcification;THP group had marked alleviation of vascular calcification.The aorta and renal expression of Klotho decreased remarkably while expression of Pit-1 and NaPi-2a increased significantly in NHP compared with SNP group (all P ＜ 0.05).Accordingly,the aorta and renal expression of Klotho increased and Pit-1 and NaPi-2a decreased significantly in THP compared with NHP group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The early intervention of sodium thiosulfate might regulate Klotho and Na +/Pi cotransporter expression in both aorth and kidney,decreasing serum phosphate,delaying progression of vascular calcification and improving renal function.

Objective To exPlore the effect of mammalian target of raPamycin ( mTOR ) inhibitor eVerolimus on radiosensitiVity of human non_small cell lung cancer cell line in vitro by using eVerolimus to inhibit mTOR signaling Pathway of A549. Methods Human non_small cell lung cancer cell line A549 was subjected to radiation alone or in combination with eVerolimus treatment. The 50%inhibition concentration ( IC50 ) of eVerolimus in A549 cells was detected by methylthiazol tetrazolium ( MTT) assay in vitro. EVerolimus at the 20%inhibition concentration ( IC20 ) was used to Pretreat A549 cells for 24 h. Cells were then irradiated by X_ray with 2,4,6,8 Gy. The cell surViVal fraction was comPuted by clone formation. Cell surViVal curVe was fitted by multitarget one_hit model, and mean lethal dose ( D0 ), dose quasithreshold ( Dq ), surViVal fraction at 2 Gy ( SF2 ), and sensitization enhancement ratio (SER) were calculated. The exPression ofγ_H2AX was determined by Western blotting and then the relatiVe gray Values were analyzed. Results EVerolimus significantly imProVed the sensitiVity of A549 cells to radiation. The D0 , Dq and SF2 of eVerolimus+irradiation grouP were significantly lower than those of irradiation grouP. The SER was 1. 36. The residual amount of γ_H2AX Protein in the eVerolimus + irradiation grouP was significantly higher than that of the irradiation grouP. Conclusion EVerolimus inhibiting mTOR signaling Pathway can increase the radiosensitiVity of A549 cells.
