Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of somatostatin and ileus tube for adhesive bowel obstruction.Methods From January 2008 to February 2010,ninety-one patients diagnosed with adhesive bowel obstruction were enrolled in the study.Patients were randomly divided into four groups:somatostatin + ileus tube group ( group A,n =22 ),somatostatin + nasogastric tube group (group B,n=19),ileus tube group (group C,n=23),and nasogastric tube group (group D,n =27).All cases received conventional treatment,including fasting,maintaining electrolyte and acid-base balance,enteral and parenteral nutrition support and antibiotics; Groups A and B received somatostatin 0.6 mg/day,groups B and D received nasogastric tube decompression.ANOVA analysis and x2 test were used to compare the variables.Results Group A had a quick recovery of flatus and stool compared with group D,[ (4.5 ±1.9) vs.(7.8 ± 1.7) d] (F =28.715,P =0.000).Abdominal pain and abdominal distension recovered faster [ (3.6 ± 1.5) vs.(8.4 ± 2.2) day ] in group A compared with group D ( F =23.857,P =0.000).Less amount of gastric drainage were observed in somatostatin-treatment groups [ group A vs.C:(632 ±102) ml/d vs.(1020±148) ml/d; group B vs.D:(410±86) ml/d vs.(590±97) ml/d] (F=11.687,P =0.000;F=10.399,P =0.000).The rate of laparotomy in group A was O,which was significantly less than the 22％ in group D ( x2 =5.571,P =0.018 ).Conclusions The high improvement rate in abdominal symptoms suggested the efficacy of somatostatin and ileus tube in patients with small bowel obstruction.The application of somatostatin combined with ileus tube improves the symptoms of adhesive intestinal obstruction and decreases the rate of laparotomy.

Objective To investigate the effect of neonatal mechanical ventilation on lung function and recurrent respiratory diseases of patients.Methods Lung function and recurrent respiratory diseases were studied in 16 children who had been ventilated at birth and were followed up in 8 years later.Results Fifty percentage of them had recurrent respiratory diseases and 75 % of had lung function abnormalities, in which residual volume/ total lung capacity (RV/ TLC) was 56.25 %,43.7 % (Vmax 25),specific airway resistance (sRaw) and specific airway conductance (sGaw) 50 % respectively. The forced expiratory flow during 25 %-75 % of forced vital capacity (FEF 25 %-75 %) and maximal expiratory flow rate at 50 % FVC (Vmax50) in the high peak respiratory pressure (PIP) group were lower than those in low PIP group (P

To systematically review the incidence rate of adverse drug reaction/event by Qingkailing injection. Such databases as the PubMed, EMbase, the Cochrane library, CNKI, VIP WanFang data and CBM were searched by computer from foundation to July 30, 2015. Two reviewers independently screened literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data and cross check data. Then, Meta-analysis was performed by using the R 3.2.0 software, subgroup sensitivity analysis was performed based on age, mode of medicine, observation time and research quality. Sixty-three studies involving 9,793 patients with Qingkailing injection were included, 367 cases of adverse reactions/events were reported in total. The incidence rate of adverse reaction in skin and mucosa group was 2% [95% CI (0.02; 0.03)]; the digestive system adverse reaction was 6% [95% CI(0.05; 0.07); the injection site adverse reaction was 4% [95% CI (0.02; 0.07)]. In the digestive system as the main types of adverse reactions/events, incidence of children and adults were 4.6% [0.021 1; 0.097 7] and 6.9% [0.053 5; 0.089 8], respectively. Adverse reactions to skin and mucous membrane damage as the main performance/event type, the observation time > 7 days and ≤ 7 days incidence of 3% [0.012 9; 0.068 3] and 1.9% [0.007 8; 0.046 1], respectively. Subgroup analysis showed that different types of adverse reactions, combination in the incidence of adverse reactions/events were higher than that of single drug, the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.05). This study suggested the influence factors of adverse reactions occur, and clinical rational drug use, such as combination, age and other fators, and the influence factors vary in different populations. Therefore, clinical doctors for children and the elderly use special care was required for a clear and open spirit injection, the implementation of individualized medication.

Objective To investigate the effect of both thrombus aspiration device Diver CE and tirofiban therapy on patients of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with coronary thrombotic burden lesion.Methods 32 patients of AMI with thrombotic burden lesion confirmed by coronary angiography were divided into the aspiration catheter and tirofiban group (n=24) and standard percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) group (n=8). The rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in hospital, changes before and after the therapy of two groups were compared.Results MACE incidence in hospital in the patients of the both thrombus aspiration and tirofiban group was obviously lower than that of the standard PCI group ( P<0.05). The thrombolysis in myocadial infarction (TIMI) after therapy in the thrombus aspiration group improved superior to the standard PCI group. All of two groups had no fatal hemorrhagic complications.Conclusion Combination of thrombus aspiration and tirofiban is a safe and effective method to manage the thrombotic burden lesion in AMI patients.

Objective To investigate the recent effect of full arthroscopic dual-beam reconstruction of the posterior cruciate ligament(PCL)using tibial Inlay technique.Methods From March 2007 to September 2009,17 PCL injured patients underwent full arthroscopic dual-beam PCL reconstruction using Inlay technique,including 16 males and 1 female,with an average age of 25 years(range,19-54).Of all cases,Lysholm score was(53.4±2.1)points,International Knee Documentation Committee(IKDC)rated C in 7,D in 10,and posterior drawer test(+)in 17.We used self-designed tibia tunnel drill system to produce the deep-limited bone tunnel.Follow-up began at 12 months after operation.Evaluate Lysholm knee score,IKDC rating,and posterior drawer test to compare the knee stability with that of preoperative.Observe the location of the bone block and healing by checking knee X-ray and spiral CT scan.Results Seventeen patients were followed up between 12 to 28 months,with an average of 17.8 months.In the last follow-up study,Lysholm score(93.5±1.7)points compared with that of preoperative was statistically significant different(P=0.016).IKDC rating of A grade in 15 cases,B in 2,compared with that of preoperative was statistically significant different(P=0.021).Posterior drawer test were negative in 15 cases,slight positive in 2.The X-ray and spiral CT scan showed the location of the bone block were perfect and healed well.Conclusion We can accurately produce the deep-limited bone tunnel by the tibia tunnel drill system with minor trauma,and the recent clinical effects of PCL reconstruction were pretty good.

Intraoperative awareness is a very serious complication of general anesthesia.Several studies have evaluated the potential association between bispectral index (BIS) and intraoperative awareness,however,the results obtained were controversial.Therefore,we performed a meta-analysis to further assess the association between the BIS monitoring and the incidence of intraoperative awareness.A comprehensive search was conducted to identify all eligible studies from the online literature databases published prior to Feb.2017.A total of five studies with 17 432 cases and 16 749 controls were included.An odds ratio (OR) and a 95％ confidence interval (CI) were calculated to examine the strength of the association.The results showed that in the overall analysis,the association between the BIS monitoring and the incidence of intraoperative awareness was not significant (OR=0.58,95％ CI=0.22-1.58,P=0.29).A stratified analysis by comparing different anesthesia methods revealed that BIS monitoring group showed a lower incidence of intraoperative awareness in patients with intravenous anesthesia when compared with non-BIS monitoring group (OR=0.20,95％ CI=0.08-0.49,P=0.0004),whereas there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of intraoperative awareness between BIS and non-BIS monitoring groups in patients with inhalation anesthesia (OR=1.13,95％ CI=0.56-2.26,P=0.73).In conclusion,our meta-analysis showed that BIS monitoring had no appreciable advantage in the reduction of the intraoperative awareness incidence in inhalation anesthesia,while showed a remarkable superiority in intravenous anesthesia.

Background The mortality of stroke patients is strongly affected by medical complications.However,there are limited data investigating the effect of in-hospital medical complications on the dependency of stroke patients worldwide.We prospectively and systematically investigated the effect of medical complications on dependency of patients at 3,6 and 12 months after stroke using the China National Stroke Registry (CNSR).Methods This prospective cohort study collected data of patients age ＞18 years with acute ischemic stroke in 132 clinical centers distributed across 32 provinces and four municipalities (including Hong Kong region) of China,from September 2007 to August 2008.Data on medical complications,dependency and other information were obtained from paper-based registry forms.Medical complications associated with stroke outcomes were assessed using multivariable Logistic regression.Results Of 11 560 patients with acute ischemic stroke,1826 (15.80％) presented with in-hospital medical complications.In-hospital medical complications were independent risk factors for dependency of patients at 3 months (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 2.367,95％ confidence interval (CI) 2.021-2.771),6 months (adjusted OR 2.257,95％ CI 1.922-2.650),and 12 months (adjusted OR 1.820,95％ CI 1.538-2.154) after acute ischemic stroke.Conclusion The results demonstrated that the short-term and long-term dependency of acute ischemic stroke patients is significantly associated with in-hospital medical complications in China.

Rsm (repressor of secondary metabolite) A is an mRNA binding protein which functions as a global repressor to control multiple genes at the posttranscriptional level. Using homologous recombination technique a chromosomal rsmA inactivated mutant strain M-18R was constructed in Pseudomonas sp. M-18, a strain of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria, which could inhibit several soilborn phytopathogens by producing secondary metabolites including phenazine-1-carboxylic acid (PCA) and pyoluteorin (Plt) in one single strain. To further study the effect of RsmA on the synthesis of Plt and PCA in the wild type strain M-18, the dynamic curves of Plt and PCA produced respectively by M-18 and M-18R were measured in KMB medium under different temperature conditions such as 37 degrees C constant, 28 degrees C constant and nonconstant (37 degrees C 4 hours at first and then 28 degrees C constant) cultivation. The synthesis of both Plt and PCA were almost inhibited in the cultures under the condition of 37 degrees C. At 28 degrees C, however, compared with the wild type strain M-18, the mutant strain produced tenfold amount of Plt, while the production of PCA decreased only about 50%. When cultivated under the nonconstant condition, the amount of Plt produced by M-18R could reach 400 microg/mL while the PCA production was not significantly affected, but in the wild type strain M-18, the amount of Plt production decreased obviously while the PCA production was not affected in comparison with the results at 28 degrees C constant. These results suggest that a temperature sensitive factor exists to function as an activator independent of RsmA to promote the synthesis of Plt in the rsmA mutant strain M-18R while it may bind with RsmA to repress the synthesis of Plt in the wild type strain M-18. But this factor did not exert any affect on the synthesis of PCA.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate the relationship between the epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutation status and clinicopathological factors, and to analyze the mutation on the effect in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery.

METHODSThe NSCLC patients who were resected and detected EGFR gene from March 2009 to March 2011 were retrospectively reviewed. The relationship between EGFR mutation status and clinicopathological factors, tumor markers, prognostic was analyzed.

RESULTSThe mutation and the wild group had 169 and 214 patients respectively. EGFR mutation in female, non-smoking, adenocarcinoma and less than 60 years old accounted for 63.91%, 61.54%, 88.76% and 62.13% with statistical significance compared with male (χ(2) = 53.490, P = 0.000), smoking (χ(2) = 48.568, P = 0.000), non-adenocarcinoma (χ(2) = 105.560, P = 0.000) and more than 60 years old (χ(2) = 6.057, P = 0.017). Disease free survival (DFS) of the wild group was better than mutation group (χ(2) = 11.329, P = 0.001). In addition, there were some relations between mutation status and excision repair cross complementing (ERCC1) protein, carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and Cyfra21-1. ERCC1(+) (χ(2) = 6.739, P = 0.012), SCC(χ(2) = 16.839, P = 0.000) and Cyfra21-1(χ(2) = 6.638, P = 0.013) more than normal value was common in wild group. Increased CEA was common in mutation group (χ(2) = 5.436, P = 0.023).

CONCLUSIONSEGFR mutation is commonly found in female, non-smoking, adenocarcinoma and less than 60 years old NSCLC patients. The wild group obtains better DFS than mutation group. Tumor markers may predict the mutation status, which need further research.
