Objective To analyze the clinicopathological characteris tics of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with secondary antiphospholid syndrome (APS) . Methods Data of 11 cases of SLE with secondary APS (SLE with APS) admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospital from January 2000 to March 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. Kidney biopsy was performed on all of these patients. Differences of clinicopathology and outcomes between SLE with and without APS were compared. Results Renal involvement was found in all the SLE with APS patients. The prominent clinical manifestations included hypertension (54.5%), nephrotic level of proteinuria (24 h proteinuria ≥3.5 g)(72.7%) and renal insufficiency (45.5%). Diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure and glomerular filtration rate in SLE with APS were significantly higher than those in SLE without APS (all P<0.05). In 8 out of 11 cases (72.7%), APS nephropathy (APSN) in kidney biopsy was found, characterized by small vessel vaso-occlusive lesions. These included thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA), fibrous intimal hyperplasia (FIH), focal cortical atrophy (FCA) and tubular thyroidization. Among those, 5 cases (45.5%) had chronic APSN and 4 (36.4%) had acute APSN (one case had acute and chronic APSN at the same time). The incidences of APSN and acute APSN in the SLE with APS group were significantly higher than those in SLE without APS group (P<0.05). Conclusions The major renal manifestations of SLE with APS are hypertension, nephrotic level of proteinuria and renal insufficiency. Other than lupus nephritis, also a high incidence of APSN is found in SLE with APS patients.

Objective To effectually record cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedure, analyze and compare the CPR performance of all medical and nursing staffs to find out the existed information for the improvement of the quality of CPR and its survival rate. Methods The medical data were collected according to the Utstein Criteria and CPR event was automatically recorded by a digital video-recording system, by which hands-off times within 10 minutes of CPR and times for installation of chest compression machine, establishment of endotracheal intubation and establishment of the venous channel were analyzed. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to analyze the factors affecting CPR effect. Results ① During the period from December 2009 to December 2015, a total of 376 patients with cardiac arrest (CA) was registered, including 248 males and 128 females, with a median age of 68 (53, 78) years. Estimated median time interval from CA to CPR initiation was 5.0 (0.1, 20.0) minutes and there were 189 cases less than or equal to 5 minutes. The acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with 145 cases (38.6%) was the main etiology of CA. Initial shockable rhythm was found in 16 patients (7.0%) out of 230 out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) patients, of whom 13 underwent ventricular fibrillation (5.7%), 3 underwent ventricular tachycardia (1.3%). Initial shockable rhythm was found in 47 patients (32.2%) out of 146 in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) patients, of whom 40 underwent ventricular fibrillation (27.4%), and 7 underwent ventricular tachycardia (4.8%). CPR by a mechanical device (Thumper) was performed in 219 patients (58.2%). In 376 patients, 186 patients had return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC, 49.5%), a successful CPR (ROSC ≥ 24 hours) was found in 110 patients (29.3%), 99 patients was hospitalized alive (26.3%) and 40 patients were discharged alive (10.6%). In 146 cases of IHCA, 89 patients had ROSC (61.0%), a successful CPR was found in 63 patients (43.2%), 56 patients were hospitalized alive (38.4%), and 29 patients were discharged alive (19.9%). In 230 patients of OHCA, 89 patients had ROSC (38.7%), 65 patients received pre-hospital CPR (28.3%), a successful CPR was found in 47 patients (20.4%), 43 patients were hospitalized alive (18.7%), and 11 patients were discharged alive (4.8%). There were 37 patients had a successful CPR (69.8%), and 25 patients were discharged alive (47.2%) in 53 patients with ventricular fibrillation. ② There were 77 patients with valid video information for analysis of CPR performance, with 48 patients of OHCA, and 29 patients of IHCA. Delay median time from the patients presence in the resuscitation room to be placed in rescue bed was 22 (0, 33) seconds. Hands-off median times during 10 minutes of CPR was 41 (18, 90) seconds. Thumper installment median times was 43 (31, 69) seconds. Median time for endotracheal intubation was 59 (35, 109) seconds. Median time of venous catheter placement was 112 (70, 165) seconds. It was shown by multivariate regression analysis that there was a significant correlation between estimated time interval from CA to CPR performed, hands-off time and success rate of CPR (t1 = -3.452, t2 = -2.729), rate of discharge alive (t1 = -2.328, t2 = -2.736, all P < 0.05). In 48 OHCA patients, success rate of CPR was significantly correlated with estimated time interval from collapse to CPR performed (t = -2.409, P = 0.021). In 29 IHCA patients, success rate of CPR and rate of discharge alive was significantly correlated with hands-off times (t1 = -3.412, t2 = -2.536, both P < 0.05). Conclusions Survival to hospital discharge following CA is significantly correlated with the time interval from collapse to CPR performed and hands-off times in CPR. Installment and usage of Thumper should be postponed in order to reduce hands-off times during CPR in IHCA.

BACKGROUND:At present, a heparin-coated extracorporeal circulation pipe is used widely, but the price is expensive and limits its wide application.
OBJECTIVE:To screen the optimal coating condition of oxidated sodium alginate as a coating material to coat the medical polyvinyl chloride pipe and to evaluate the anticoagulant properties and the stability of the coated pipe.
METHODS:Oxidized sodium alginate was prepared with sodium periodate, and the mole ratio of sodium periodate and sodium alginate was 1:8, 1:10 and 1:12, respectively. Oxidized sodium alginate with different
degree of oxidation was coated on the surface of medical polyvinyl chloride pipes by chemical methods, then to select the best degree of oxidation. The optimal coating condition was screened through an orthogonal
experiment based on concentrations of sulfuric acid, polyethyleneimine and oxidized sodium alginate, and pH
value and temperature of oxidized sodium alginate. Additional y, the anticoagulant properties and expulsion rates of the prepared pipes were evaluated in comparison with the blank control group and heparin-coated group.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The optimal oxidation degree for oxidized sodium alginate was 1:10 for the mole ratio of sodium periodate and sodium alginate. The best coating conditions were 50%concentrated sulfuric acid, 0.05%polyethyleneimine, 40 ℃ of reaction temperature, 2 g/L oxidized sodium alginate, and pH value=3.5. The oxidized sodium alginate coating group had a similar trend compared with heparin-coated group in the expulsion rate. The anticoagulant properties of oxidized sodium alginate coating group were little weaker than those of
heparin-coated group (P<0.05), but significantly better than those of the blank control group. The oxidized sodium alginate-coated extracorporeal circulation pipe has a good anticoagulant property and stability.
