Objective To understand the plasma protein differential expression before and after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB)through conducting the comparative proteomics study on rats in order to find the plasma markers with potential value in the early diagnosis of CPB resulted complications.Methods 10 adult male SD rats were divided into the experiment group and the con-trol group randomly (n=5),and took food and water freely before operation.The rat models of CPB were constructed in the experi-ment group.But no any CPB operation was administered in the control group in addition to anesthesia induction,arterial and venous puncture procedure.1 mL of blood sample was extracted for separating plasma before CPB and at the end of CPB in the two groups. The total plasma protein was purified.Then the 2-dimensional electrophoresis and the scanning imaging by ImageScanner were per-formed.The protein spots verified to be differential expression were performed the cutting,enzymolysis and peptide fragment ex-traction.Finally the mass spectrometer was adopted to conduct the analysis and identification.Results The number of visualized spots was increased significantly after CPB.17 protein spots with up-regulated expression were identified as differential expression caused by CPB.5 proteins were verified by mass spectrometer analysis and database research.They were gelsolin,haptoglobin,apo-lipoprotein A-1,immunoglobulin gamma-2b and Ba1-647 respectively.Conclusion CPB can cause the differential expression of plas-ma proteins in rat model.According to the function analysis,gelsolin,haptoglobin and apolipoprotein A-1 have the potentiality of be-ing the plasma markers for studying CPB complications.

Objective To explore the relationship between the serum anticardiolipin antibody (ACA),vascular endothelial grow factor (VEGF) concentration and cognitive impairment in patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Totally 128 cases with acute ischemic stroke were admmitted in stroke unit ward of our hospital during June 2014 to December 2014.According to the score of Montreal cognitive assessnent (MoCA),128 patients with ischemic stroke were divided into groups A (53 cases with cognitive impairment) and group B (75 cases without cognitive impairment).The concentrations of serum ACA,VEGF were quantitatively determinated by ELISA.The differences of serum ACA,VEGF concentrations were compared between the two groups.Results Compared with normal cognitive function group,the cognitive impairment patients had significantly higher ACA concentration ((0.86±0.16) mg/L vs (0.52±0.08) mg/L,P<0.01),and lower VEGF concentration ((197.60±7.48) pg/ml vs (205.80±8.52) pg/ml,P<0.05).Logistic regression revealed that ACA and VEGF were independent effect factors for cognitive impairment (ACA:B =2.841,OR =0.33,95 % CI =0.118-0.926,P=0.025.V EGF:B =-1.674,OR =4.99,95% CI =1.688-4.741,P=0.034).Conclusion ACA and VEGF may play an important role in cognitive impairment after ischemic stroke.

Objective To explore the application effect of the adult education theory in the nursing round. Methods 340 trainee nurses, who were trained at our surgical department between June 2008 and December 2009, were randomly divided into the experimental group(178 cases)and the control group(162cases). The adult education theory was adopted in the experimental group, whereas the traditional education method was used in the control group, a questionnaire was carried out after the nursing visit. Results The experimental group was more satisfied with the round visit than the control group. Conclusions The application of the adult education theory in the round visit is beneficial not only to the students' selection of the topics of nursing visit, but also to the improvement of the students' understanding and communicating capacity, the students' studying interests and the students' creative thinking, finally the degree of satisfaction to the round visit is increased by the adoption of this theory.

Objective:To prepare dendritic cell (DC)-cytokine induced killer (CIK) tumor vaccine using DCs of patients with nonsmall-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) harboring autologous tumor antigens and to observe its inhibitory effect on autologous tumor cells in vitro. Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) extracted from NSCLC patients were cultured into DCs and CIKs in presence of different cytokines. Cancer cells from the patients were cultured in vitro and were used to prepare different tumor antigens: tumor cell lysates, necrotic tumor cells and normally-grown tumor cells. The DCs were stimulated by OK-432 and the phenotypes of the DCs were analyzed by flow cytometer. Then the DCs were co-cultured with CIKs. The anti-tumor effect of DC-CIK was evaluated by MTT assay. Results: Compared with the DCs harboring the antigens of necrotic tumor cells and normally-grown tumor cells, DCs pulsed with tumor cell lysates had significantly higher expression of surface molecules such as CD1a (85.1?2.7), CD80 (80.0?4.4), CD83 (75.4?5.3), and HLA-DR(80.5?7.8, all P

ObjectiveTo evaluate digital chrome endoscopy (I-Scan) and confocal laser endomicroscopy (CLE) for diagnosis of Barrett esophagus (BE).MethodsFrom July 2010 to July 2011,a total of 878 outpatients who had upper gastrointestinal symptoms underwent routine endoscopy and I-Scan examination,screened patients with suspected Barrett's epithelial were further referred to CLE and endoscopy.The detection rate and image features of BE between routine endoscopy and I-Scan,and the diagnosis of BE between pathology and CLE,were compared respectively.ResultsSuspected BE was diagnosed in 46 patients (5.2%) by routine endoscopy,and in52 (5.9%) by I-Scan,and there was no significant difference in detection rate between 2 methods (x2 =0.533,P > 0.05 ).The detection rate of paliform blood vessels between SCJ and GEJ was higher using I-Scan (35/52,67.3% ) than routine endoscope (21/46,45.7%,P <0.05).A total of 19 suspected BE underwent CLE and biopsy,and BE was diagnosed by CLE with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 100%.ConclusionI-Scan is capable of identifying paliform blood vessels between SCJ and GEJ,and can improve the detection rate of suspected BE.CLE is able to provide in-vivo histological diagnosis of BE with a high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To obtain the matched parameters between image quality and radiation dose by exploring the influence of the exposure parameters of screening mammography on both the image quality and radiation dose.Methods The correlation between the exposure parameters and average glandular doses to 507 patients undergoing screening mammography were retrospectively analyzed.The influence of breast compression thickness on radiation dose by exposing different thickness of PMMA was obtained.The correlation with image quality was analyzed by combined testing of contrast detail test mode ( CDMAM3.4 )and different thickness of PMMAs.Results The groups aged 30 to 49 years were the main groups in 507examined patients,up to 67.06% of the total.The mean value of average gland doses ( AGD ) in contrastprior mode was the highest in three kinds of exposure modes,accounting for 137.5% of standard mode.In standard mode,target material/filtration board combination was Mo/Mo,Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh,accounting for 1/3 respectively.Mo/Rh and Rh/Rh were selected in dose-prior mode,accounting for 50% respectively.Mo/Mo was mainly selected in contrast-prior,accounting for 52%.Breast compression thickness was positively correlated with average gland doses.Image quality figure inverse (IQFinv) under three kinds of modes (STD,DOSE,CNT) was 98.32,95.41 and 107.02,respectively,and IQFinv of contrast-prior mode was the highest among them.IQFinv was in general agreement in the three kinds of exposure modes when the thickness of PMMA plates plates was greater than or equal to 5 cm.Conclusions In clinical practice,when the breast is of density type and pressed thickness is less than 4 em,the dose-prior mode should be selected.When the pressed thickness is between 4 and 6 cm,the standard exposure mode should be selected.When the pressed thickness is larger than 6 cm,the manual mode should be selected.
