Objective To investigate the value of the application of fibrobronchoscopy in extubation for patients suffering from acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(AECOPD)with low cough peak expiratory flow(CPEF). Methods A single-center prospective controlled study was conducted. The ventilated AECOPD patients who were cooperative at the time of extubation in Department of Critical Care Medicine of Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Disease of Guangzhou Medical University from June 2009 to May 2014 were enrolled. All patients successfully passed the spontaneous breathing trial(SBT). Extubation was performed after determination of CPEF following energetic coughing. According to the CPEF,the patients were divided into CPEF≥60 L/min group (high CPEF group)and CPEF<60 L/min group(low CPEF group). After extubation,fibrobronchoscopic drainage was given to the patients in high CPEF group when necessary. Fibrobronchoscopic drainage was given to the patients in low CPEF group at least once a day,and the frequency of such treatment could be increased according to the patient's condition. If the patients did not require re-intubation within 48 hours,extubation was recorded as successful. The gender,age,acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score before extubation,ventilation time,the time of intensive care unit(ICU)stay,the mortality in ICU,the rate of re-intubation,the ability to cough and the frequency of application of fibrobronchoscopy after extubation were recorded. Results A total of 102 patients with AECOPD were enrolled,58 patients in high CPEF group and 44 in low CPEF group. Compared with high CPEF group,the mean age in low CPEF group was older(years:74.3±15.2 vs. 69.5±11.4,t=2.164,P=0.041),the time of ICU stay was significantly longer(days:20.1±11.2 vs. 17.4±7.3,t=2.274,P=0.030), but there was no significant difference in gender〔male/female(cases):35/9 vs. 45/13,χ2=0.057,P=0.812〕, APACHEⅡscore(11.9±1.9 vs. 10.3±4.2,t=1.290,P=0.200),mechanical ventilation time(days:14.8±10.8 vs. 13.3±9.6,t=0.677,P=0.501)and the rate of re-intubation〔18.18%(8/44)vs. 12.07%(7/58),χ2=1.412, P=0.235〕between low CPEF group and high CPEF group. The cough strength of patients in high CPEF group was almost alwaysstrong(52 cases),and in the low CPEF group,most of them wasmoderate(14 cases)orweak(26 cases). The frequency of application of fibrobronchoscopy in low CPEF group was higher than that in high CPEF group(times:4.1±1.8 vs. 1.3±0.9,t=2.626,P=0.011). All patients underwent weaning successfully,and no death occurred. Conclusion The application of fibrobronchoscopy in the extubated AECOPD patients with low CPEF can reduce the rate of re-intubation,avoid the prolonged ventilation,but cannot reduce the time of ICU stay.

AIM:To explore the inhibitory action of recombinant human tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand(rhTRAIL) on mouse breast cancer. METHODS:Each mouse was inoculated 0.2 mL (1?106) D2F2 cells subcutaneously in the right lower limb and they were divided into five groups randomly. The control group was infused PBS 0.2 mL,while the low-dose,medium,high groups received purified rhTRAIL 2.5 mg/kg,5.0 mg/kg,10.0 mg/kg,respectively,the positive group was administered cyclophosphamide 30.0 mg/kg. Every group was operated by peritoneal injection once a day for fifteen days. The mice were weighed every day. The growth state was viewed and the size of the tumor was measured every 3 d to calculate the tumor volume and tumor suppression rate. All mice were killed after 15 d. The pathologic changes of the tumor were observed under light-microscopy and electronic microscopy. The cell cycle and apoptosis index of D2F2 cells were analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS:The body weight and tumor volume in low-dose,medium,high groups were lower than those in control group and the restriction effect was more significant than that in the control group (P

The service behavior of medical staff is influenced by the organizational environment and management mode of the hospital. That is to say, the organization and management determine the standardization and sustainability of a hospital's humanistic services, and organizational driving force is also an important factor for the staff to innovate their services. Organization and management of a hospital' s humanistic services is composed of three factors: service operation management, service elements management and service performance management. These factors ensure a hospital's humanistic services to achieve whole-staff-participation, sustainability and standardization.

Objective To investigate the effect of lower limb rehabilitation training robot combined with task-oriented training on walking ability after stroke. Methods From February 2014 to August 2015,74 consecutive patients with post-stroke who received rehabilitation therapy and met the inclusion criteria admitted to the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were collected prospectively. They were all the patients with the first-ever stroke for 1 to 12 months. They were divided into either an observation group (n = 39)or a control group (n = 35)according to whether they were treated with the lower-limb rehabilitation robot. The patients of both groups received task-oriented training,2 times a day,once for 20 min,5 days a week for 12 weeks. The observation group was also treated with the lower-limb rehabilitation training robot,1 time a day,once for 30 min,5 days a week. Berg balance scale,Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA),timed up-and-go test (TUG)and knee flexion active range of motion (KFAROM)were used to assess the efficacy. Results (1)After treatment,the Berg scale and FMA scale scores were increased in the observation group and the control group compared with before treatment. There was significant difference (Berg scale:28 ±9 vs. 22 ±9,29 ±9 vs. 24 ±9;FMA scores:47 ± 8 vs. 36 ± 8,40 ± 6 vs. 36 ± 7;all P < 0. 01),however,there was no significant difference between the two groups (P <0. 05),and there was significant difference in FMA scores between the 2 groups (P < 0. 01 ). The differences of Berg scale scores in the observation group and the control group were 10. 75 + 0. 30 and 4. 71 + 0. 14 respectively before and after treatment. There was no significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 0. 95,P = 0. 345). The differences of FMA scores in the observation group and the control group were 5. 8 ±0. 6 and 4. 9 ±0. 8 before and after treatment (t =5. 16,P <0. 01). (2)After treatment,the tug test and KFAROM of the observation group and the control group were better than those before treatment. There were significant differences (TUG test:35 ± 13 s vs. 56 ± 18 s,53 ± 17 s vs. 58 ± 18 s;KFAROM:82 ± 24° vs. 60 ± 23°,63 ± 23° vs. 57 ± 26°;all P < 0. 01),and there were significant differences between the 2 groups (all P < 0. 01). The differences of the TUG test in the observation group and the control group before and after treatment were 21. 5 ± 5. 0 and 4. 6 ± 0. 6 s respectively. There was significant difference between the 2 groups (t = 9. 55,P < 0. 01);the differences of KFAROM in the observation group and control group before and after treatment were 5.8 ±0.6° vs. 4.9 ±0.8° respectively. There was significant differences between the 2groups (t =4.17,P <0. .01). Conclusion Lower limb rehabilitation training robot combined with task-oriented training may improve the lower extremity motor function,walking ability,knee flexion joint activity of the patients after stroke,but the improvement effect of the lower limb balance is not obvious.

Gene deletion vector pLJ04(pKC1139∷bkdF+bkdH)was used to disrupt bkdFGH in Streptomyces avermitilis 76-02-e,an industrial producer of anthelmintic avermectin.The disruptants were confirmed by PCR.Shake flask experiment and HPLC analysis showed that the mutant lost the ability to produce avermectins.As it is expected,the mutant,named S.avermitilis bkd76-3,could restore the ability of producing avermectins when the feeding of methylbutyric acid and isobutyric acid to its fermentations was carried out.The addition of cyclohexanecarboxylic acid(CHC)into fermentations of the S.avermitilis bkd76-3 allowed for production of four components,two of which was confirmed as CHC-B1 and CHC-A2 by LC/MS analysis,respectively.
