Objective To evaluate the possible protective effect of isoflurane and propofol on myocardium during off pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery. Methods Twenty-six patients undergoing elective CABG without cardiopulmonary bypass were allocated into propofol group (n=13) and isoflurane group (n=13). Anesthesia was performed in propofol group with propofol plus fentanyl, while isoflurane and fentanyl were used in isoflurane group. Artery blood samples were collected before induction of anesthesia, and during and after the surgery. Plasma troponin I (cTnI), creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and lactate concentrations were determined respectively. Results At the 4 hours after operation, plasma level of cTnI was significantly increased in both groups, and no significant differences were found between them. Compared with baseline values, IL-6 in propofol group showed no significant changes at each endpoint. However, IL-6 values in isoflurane group were significantly higher than those in propofol group during and after surgery (P

OBJECTIVE: To study the influence factors of the oxidation of DHA and EPA,and to find effective antioxidants.METHODS: The oxidation of DHA and EPA was optimized by orthogonal test with the quality of DHA and EPA as indicators and temperature,light and time as factors.The optimized antioxidants were selected by adding salidroside,BHA,BHT,vitamin E into samples.RESULTS: If there is lower temperature,weaker light and shorter storage,the oxidation of DHA and EPA will be more slowly.Effect of salidroside on the oxidation of DHA and EPA is the strongest.CONCLUSION: The oxidation of DHA and EPA can be reduced by lowering temperature,storing in dark place,reducing storage duration and adding salidroside.

OBJECTIVE To discuss the diagnosis and endoscopic treatment of congenital basal encephaloceles in infants.METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the clinical data of 6 infants with congenital basal encephaloceles in Beijing Children's Hospital between January 2014 to September 2016. CT and MRI were performed routinely. All patients underwent endoscopic resection of encephaloceles and repair of skull base defects. RESULTS Five patients presented with transethmoidal encephaloceles and one transsphenoidal encephaloceles. All patients underwent endoscopic procedure successfully. There were no complications except for one 7-month old girl who got purulent meningitis. All patients had favorable clinical outcomes during a follow-up of 3 to 29 months.CONCLUSION For infants with persistent nasal obstruction and nasal neoplasms, congenital basal encephaloceles should be considered. Nasal coronary CT and sagital MRI are of paramount importance in the diagnosis of congenital basal encephaloceles in infants. The endoscopic procedure is the safe and effective method for the management of congenital basal encephaloceles in infants.

Objective To control medical expenses in a rational and effective way by analyzing the main factors influencing hospitalization expenses in TCM hospitals. Methods Based on ICD 10 codes, the top 50 disease entities causing hospitalization, as had been accumulated over the years, were extracted from the hospitalization record data warehouses of the national TCM supervision networks using nationally representative medical record databases, the main factors influencing hospitalization expenses were identified using multi layer BP neural network, and further analyses were made by disease entities and hospital grades. Results When disease entity mix analyses were conducted, it was found that the variables most influencing hospitalization expenses/days were hospital code and disease entity while variables specific to TCM had little influence on the expenses. The results were also true of analyses made by hospital grades and disease entities. Conclusion Under the current circumstances in China, the influence on hospitalization expenses resulting from the difference between hospitals is far greater than any other factor; it is even greater than that resulting from the difference between disease entities. It is therefore imperative to pay attention to the extensiveness and coverage of data sources when conducting research on the control of medical expenses.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the short-term clinical efficacy of sublingual immunotherapy in children with allergic rhinitis. METHODS Forty-four patients, from 3-14 years of age, with mite-sensitive allergic rhinitis were treated sublingually with standardized dermatophagoidesfarinae extract. After treatment of 3 or 6 months using the dermatophagoidesfarinae extract, the total nasal symptoms score(including nasal congestion, nasal itching, rhinorrhea and sneezing scores), total rhinitis medicine scores, visual analog scale scores and the percentage of blood eosinophilic granulocyte(Eos%) before and after treatment were evaluated. SPSS 20.0 software was used to analyze the data. RESULTS After 3 or 6 months' treatment,thenasal symptoms score(including nasal congestion, nasal itching, rhinorrhea and sneezing scores), total rhinitis medicine scores and visual analog scale scoreshad significantly reduced,comparing with that before treatment(all P<0.05). The comparison of the total nasal symptoms score(including nasal congestion, rhinorrhea and sneezing scores), total rhinitis medicine scores and visual analog scale scores between 3 months and 6 months treatment had shown no significant difference (all P>0.05), while nasal itching scores had significantly reduced(Z=-4.185, P<0.05). After 6 months' treatment, the percentage of Eos% had significantly reduced compared with that before treatment(Z=-4.544, P<0.05). CONCLUSION SLIT could be an effective treatment in patients with allergic rhinitis sensitive to house dust mite. It would have effect after3 months treatment and Eos%reduced significantly after 6 months treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the significance of the combination of factor analysis and systematic cluster analysis in classification of traditional Chinese medical syndromes in patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis, and to provide a scientific basis for the criterion of the classification. METHODS: We designed a clinical questionnaire according to the clinical characteristics and the demands of traditional Chinese medical information collection for patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis. By means of clinical epidemiological research, with the four diagnosis methods for clinical information collection of traditional Chinese medicine, symptoms, physical signs, tongue conditions and pulse conditions in 310 patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis were collected, and the characteristics of traditional Chinese medical syndromes in these patients were explored with statistical methods, such as factor analysis, varimax and systematic cluster analysis. RESULTS: Analyzed by factor analysis and systematic cluster analysis with SPSS 11.0, the traditional Chinese medical syndromes in 287 of the 310 cases (92.58%) of posthepatitic cirrhosis could be classified. The syndromes could be divided into 7 categories, which were internal accumulation of damp-heat (55 cases), insufficiency of the spleen with overabundance of dampness (74 cases), accumulation of blood stasis plus deficiency of liver-yin and kidney-yin (73 cases), accumulation of blood stasis plus deficiency of both blood and qi (40 cases), deficiency of both blood and qi (16 cases), deficiency of yin and blood heat (6 cases) and stagnation of the liver-qi and deficiency of the spleen (23 cases). The traditional Chinese medical syndromes in the other 23 cases could not be classified. CONCLUSIONS: The clinical information collected with the four diagnostic methods of traditional Chinese medicine can be classified into different categories with the factor analysis and systematic cluster analysis. The factor analysis and systematic cluster analysis can reveal the characteristics and regularity of traditional Chinese medical syndromes in patients with posthepatitic cirrhosis in a way, and have value in researching the syndromes of traditional Chinese medicine.
