Objective To estimate the clinic features of severe multiple trauma with secondary thrombocytosis as a factor influencing the prognosis.Methods A retrospective single-center study was carried out in 680 patients with severe multiple trauma survived longer than 72 hours in Chongqing Emergency Medical Center from March 2010 through March 2013.The variables including age,gender,ISS (injury severity score),APACHE Ⅱ score,splenectomy and the usages of vasopressors,blood products transfusion,hematopoietic medicines and anticoagulant were analyzed.The prognosis indices including total in-hospital mortality after 72 hours,length of hospital stay and morbidity of thrombo-embolism were explored.The clinic characteristics and prognosis of severe multiple trauma with secondary thrombocytosis (platelet count more than 450 × 109 L-1) were evaluated.T test or rank sum test was used for comparison between measurement data and Chi-square test or Fisher' s exact test was used for comparison between enumeration data.Results Thrombocytosis was identified in 99 (14.56％) patients and it occurred one week after injury with median time of 27 days (ranged from 8 days to 304 days),and maintained for (18.62±4.38) d.The median of platelet count was 584 × 109 L-1 (lowest 478 × 109 L-1,highest 1 072 × 109 L-1) in severe multiple trauma patients with thrombocytosis.The proportions of splenectomy,prolonged use of vasopressors and employment of hematopoietic medicines or anticoagulant were significantly higher in patients with thrombocytosis than those in patients without thrombocytosis (14.14％ vs.7.06％,P=0.03;62.63％ vs.39.07％,P＜0.01; 28.28％ vs.6.71％,P＜0.01; 90.91％ vs.19.45％,P＜ 0.01).The highest D-Dimer level presenting in patients with thrombocytosis during the time of platelet increasing was significantly more common than that in patients of non-thrombocytosis group 7 days after trauma [(11.68 ± 11.90) vs.(5.05 ± 5.11),P =0.004].However,the mortality,length of hospital stay and morbidity of thrombo-embolism were not significantly increased in patients with thrombocytosis compared with patients without thrombocytosis [8.08％ vs.8.78％,P=0.82; 34 d (28.5,54.5) d vs.45 d (23,67) d,P =0.41; 10.10％ vs.10.50％,P =0.91].Conclusion There was a higher rate of secondary thrombocytosis in severe multiple trauma patients.The factors such as splenectomy,vasopressors,hematopoietic medicines and so on might induce the reactive thrombocytosis in trauma patients.Thrombocytosis might increase the incidence of thromboembolism in severe multiple trauma patients without appropriate prophylactic anticoagulation.For the sake of prophylaxis,employment of anti-platelet agent might be the appropriately therapeutic strategy for patients suffering from severe multiple trauma with secondary thrombocytosis accompanying risk factors of arterial thrombo-embolism.

Objective To semiquantify salivary gland damage after 131I treatment in patients post thyroidectomy using salivary gland scintigraphy. Methods Fifty-six patients underwent salivary gland scintigraphy 6 months after 131I ablation therapy following thyroidectomy, including 21 with both baseline (before 131I treatment) and follow-up (6 months after the 1st 131I treatment) imaging. Salivary gland function was quantified by uptake ratios at 4 minutes (UR4) and 15 minutes (UR15), and excretory index at maximum secretion (MS), time duration from stimulation to minimum count (Tmin ). Paired t test was used for the 21 patients with both baseline and follow-up imaging. All the studies were divided into four groups: before 131I therapy, after 1st therapy, after 2nd therapy, and after 3rd or more times of therapy. Group differences were evaluated by the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA)/Kruskal-Wallis test. Spearman test was used to analyze the correlation between the parameters and times of therapy. Results After the 1st 131I therapy, UR15 for the left and right parotid glands were 16% and 14% lower than the baseline, respectively (t=2.188, 3.322, both P<0.05). All the other parameters were not significantly different from those of baseline (t: -0.952 to 2.039, all P>0.05). Among the four groups, significantly different parameters for both parotid glands were found: UR4, UR15, MS for the left parotid of the four groups were 1.76±0.29, 2.60±0.38, (72.8±24.2)%; 1.55±0.34, 2.15±0.51, (64.4±21.6)%; 1.55±0.40, 2.02±0.68, (57.2±34.2)%; 1.45±0.33, 1.69±0.46, (30.6±36.9)%; respectively (F values for UR4 and UR15 were 7.018, 3.112 and H value for MS was 12.240, all P<0.05). UR4, UR15, MS for the right parotid were 1.81±0.33, 2.57±0.51, (69.1±18.5)%; 1.61±0.38, 2.19±0.59, (64.2±25.0)%; 1.60±0.42, 2.00±0.62, (53.2±41.7)%; 1.48±0.38, 1.63±0.29, (26.1±45.9)%, respectively (F=13.393,10.194,H=26.569,all P<0.05). However, no statistical differences were P>0.05). According to pair-pair comparison, only the degree of reduction of UR15 for parotid glands was significantly different between the 1st and 2nd therapy (P<0.05). UR4, UR15, MS for bilateral parotid glands reduced significantly after 3 or more times of therapy (all P<0.05).The parametres UR4, UR15, MS were correlated with times of 131I therapy (r:-0.296 to -0.566, all P<0.05). Conclusions Salivary uptake function is impaired slightly after the 1st radioiodine therapy. After several times of therapy, both parotid uptake and excretion functions are impaired. Submandibular functions are not affected even after repeated 131I therapy.

Objective To explore the mechanism of anti-tumor effects of transferring tumor-specif-ic lymphocytes obtained from pre-immunized BALB/c mice with inactive rolL-21 tumor vaccine (mIL-21-Sp2/0)to syngeneic mice, associated with mIL-21 tumor vaccine immunization, in the condition of cyclo-phosphamide (Cy)-induced lymphopenia. Methods Activated lymphocytes of spleen and lymph nodes ob-tained from pre-immunlzed syngeneic mice with irradiated mIL-21-Sp2/0 cells were infused into BALB/cmice treated with Cy 2 days before, subsequently vaccinated with mlL-21 tumor vaccine, after 7 days, chal-lenged with Sp2/0 tumor cells, observed the growth of tumor of mice. T lymphocyte subsets differentiation was measured by flow cytometry (FCM) analysis. The proliferation and cytotoxie activities of activated lym-phocytes were analyzed by FCM, respectively, staining with CFSE and 7-AAD. The number of IFN-γ-secre-ting cells was evaluated by ELISPOT. Results The lymphopenic mice were transferred with activated lym-phocytes and inoculated with raiL-21 tumor vaccine might provide superior anti-tumor immunoprotection, re-tard tumor growth of the mice. The proliferating capabilities and killing rate of transferred tumor Ag-specific lymphocytes enhanced obviously, the number of IFN-γ-secreting cells was significantly higher compared with the control groups. Conclusion Under Cy-induced lymphopenia condition, tumor Ag-specific lymphocytes sensitized by raiL-21 tumor vaccine were transferred to mice and immunized with mlL-21 tumor vaccine at the same time, benefit the proliferation of transferred effective cells and immune cells itself, assist to form and sustain special anti-tumor effects.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of 23G vs 20G pars plana vitrectomy ( PPV ) combined with internal limiting membrane peeling, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation for macular epiretinal membrane with cataract. ·METHODS: Totally 45 eyes of 45 patients with macular epiretinal membrane and cataract were enrolled in this retrospective non-randomized controlled clinical study. All eyes were treated with PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling, phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation. There were 20 eyes in 23G PPV group, and 25 eyes in 20G PPV group. The best corrected visual acuity ( BCVA ) , intraocular pressure (IOP), counting of corneal endothelial cells ( CEC) and central retinal thickness ( CRT ) were examined before surgery. BCVA results were converted to the logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution ( LogMAR ) visual acuity. All operations were performed by the same doctor. Operation time for vitrectomy and membrane peeling, average ultrasound energy ( AVE) and effective phacoemulsification time ( EPT ) were recorded. BCVA and CRT were observed postoperatively at 30d and 90d, counting of CEC was observed postoperatively at 90d. IOP was observed postoperatively at 1d and 7d. ·RESULTS:The mean operation time for vitrectomy were 12. 57± 1. 35min in 23G group and 17. 30 ± 1. 19min in 20G group. The difference was statistically significant ( t =-12. 488, P<0. 01). There were no statistical significances in operation time for membrane peeling, AVE and EPT between 23G and 20G groups ( t=-0. 68,-1. 186,-0. 737, P=0. 500, 0. 242,0. 465). On 1d after surgery, IOP in 23G group was lower than that in 20G group, the difference was statistically significant (t= -2. 345, P=0. 024). The BCVA and CRT of the two groups both improved after operations. There were no statistically significant differences between two groups in terms of IOP, BCVA, and CRT ( F = 0. 465, 1. 895, 0. 689; P = 0. 499, 0. 176, 0. 411). IOP, BCVA and CRT were significant statistical different in different time-point within each group ( F=291. 245, 103. 06, 665. 402, P<0. 01 ). Different surgical methods of 23G and 20G had interactive effects on IOP with different time points ( F = 13. 245, P<0. 01 ), but different surgeries had no interactive effects on BCVA and CRT with different time points (F=1. 212, 2. 293;P=0. 283, 0. 129). The counting CEC in 23G group was more than that in 20G group postoperatively at 90d, the difference was statistically significant (t=2. 049, P=0. 048). ·CONCLUSION: The 23G PPV combined with internal limiting membrane peeling, phacoemulsification, intraocular lens implantation for macular epiretinal membrane with cataract is effective. Compared with 20G PPV, 23G PPV has advantages in operation time for vitrectomy and counting CEC. But lower IOP is likely in 23G PPV on 1d after surgery

Objective To observe the different expression of somatomedin-receptor in cell membrane of prostate epithelial cells at anoxic or normoxic condition.Methods Human prostate epithelial cells line RWPE-1 were cultured in vitro.At 4,8,12,24,48 h after cells had been seeded,the gene and protein expression of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR),fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR),transforming growth factor β1 receptor (TGF- β 1R),insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1 R) and vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) in prostate epithelial cells were tested by RT-PCR and immunohistochem-istry methods,respectively.Results The expression of mRNA and protein of EGFR,FGFR,IGF-1R,TGF- β1R,VEGFR were significantly increased in anoxic and normoxic prostate epithelial cells (P ＜ 0.01 ).At different time point,the expression of mRNA and protein of EGFR,FGFR,IGF-1R,TGF- β1R,VEGFR significantly higher in anoxic than those in normoxic prostate epithelial cells (P＜ 0.01 )besides 4 h EGFR mRNA,12 h EGFR protein,4 h IGF-1R mRNA,4 and 8 h IGF-1R protein,4 and 8 h TGF-β 1R mRNA,4 and 8 h TGF-β 1R protein,4 h VEGFR mRNA (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Anoxic prostate epithelial cell can up-regulate the expression of somatomedin-receptor.
