Objective To investigate the mechanism of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field (ELF-EMF) and X-ray irradiation on liver carcinoma cell lines BEL-7402. Methods Liver carcinoma cell lines BEL-7402 had been incubated with ELF-EMF (100 Hz, 0.7 mT, 30 min, 3 days) after X-ray irradiation at different doses (0, 2, 4, 6, 8,10 Gy). The cells were observed on morphologic changes with scanning electron microscope. Flow cytometry and gene microarray were used to investigate the mechanism of cell apeptosis. Results ELF-EMF plus X-ray induced apoptosis on BEL-7402 was observed under scanning electron microscope.When X-irradiation was 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 Gy, the apoptosis ratios of combined group and only X-irradiation group were 10.0%, 14.5%, 4.3%, 5.1%, 7.1% and 0.1%, 8.1%, 0.1%, 0.4%, 2.2% (P < 0.05) on flow cytometry. The result of microarray indicated that 1465 genes were up-regulated and 1108 down*regulated in the ELF-EMF plus X-ray group in comparison with the control group. The change rates of 110 apoptosis related genes were above 2 times, which including 71 up-regulated and 39 down-regulated. Gene microarray showed that ELF-EMF and X-ray irradiation had a mainly effect on different gene of apoptosis paths (CDC25 and CHKI, ATM, p38, PTEN, p53, G1/S, Fas, G2/M, Cell Cycle, Apoptosis and Caspase). The same genes of ELF-EMF plus X-ray group were showed 13 in ELF-EMF group and 42 in X-ray group. Conclusions Apoptosis paths were significantly different between ELF-EMF and X-irradiation. ELF-EMF cooperates with X-irradiation on inducing BEL-7402 cell apoptosis.

Objective To guide fluid management for sever heart failure patients by using PICCO indicators, in order to direct clinical fluid management and nursing care. Methods Sixty-four heart failure patients with level IV cardiac function were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group according to random number table, and each one had 32 patients. Fluid management for patients in the control group was implemented with CVP monitoring technology, while the patients in the experimental group accepted PICCO monitoring technology as fluid management. Then compare these indicators between the two groups--length of stay in ICU, mortality rate of 28 days, daily fluid intake, output and time of achieving negative fluid balance, and observe the change of cardiac function index (CFI) and capacity indicators (ITBVI, GEDVI, EVLWI) in the experiment group before and after treatment. Results Indicators of ITBVI、GEDVI、EVLWI in the experiment group recovered to normal state and CFI improved. The indicators which had mentioned above was (1 203.41±111.08) ml/m2, (1 087.78±66.91) ml/m2, (12.91±3.54) ml/kg, (2.91±0.29) L·min-1·m-2 respectively when before the treatment, while the values after the treatment was (895.50 ± 50.27) ml/m2, (728.19 ± 73.33) ml/m2, (6.51 ± 0.75) ml/kg, (4.61 ± 0.69) L · min-1 · m-2, the difference was significant (t=-18.52-54.42, P<0.05). The length of stay in ICU, mortality rate of 28 days, daily fluid intake, output and time of achieving negative fluid balance of the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group(t=-17.19,-76.80,-12.38, χ2=3.26, P<0.05). Conclusions PICCO monitoring indicators are better than CVP method in the aspect of fluid management for patients with sever heart failure, which can increase the rescue success rate, promote the treatment effect, improve prognosis, and promote the rehabilitation of patients.

Objective To study the prognosis of infants with bronchiolitis by testing urine leukotriene E4 (LTE4) level and investigating atopy's influences. Methods Urine LTE4 was tested in 38 eases with mild bronchiolitis (47 in acute stage, 17 in convalescent stage), 9 severe bronchiolitis cases, 15 atopic cases, 25 control cases. Peripheral blood was used to determine eosinophils count (EC) in acute bronchiolitis cases. Results (1) The level of urine LTE4 is obviously higher in cases of acute group (62.11 ± 12.23 pmol/L) than that of control group (22.19±1.50 pmol/L) , and the convalescent group (34.86 ±5.75 pmol/L) (F = 132.42, P < 0.01) ;Urine LTE4 level of convalescent group is higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). (2) Urine LTE4 level is significantly higher in severe group (98.04 ± 8.04 pmol/L) than that of mild group (59.16 ± 12.25 pmol/L) (t = 9.92, P < 0.01). (3) Urine LTE4 level of atopy positive (88.75 ± 10.45 pmol/L) infants with bronchiolitis is significantly higher than atopy negative infants (55.28 ± 11.44 pmol/L)(t = 8.63, P < 0.01). (4) There is no significant correlation between the levels of urine LTE4 and EC for acute bronchiolitis. Condusions The level of urine LTE4 in acute bronehiolitis patients increases and remains high in convalescent stage;Higher urine LTE4 level in severe bronchiolitis cases indicates that urine LTE4 level is related to the severity of the disease;cysteinylleukotrenes is an important mediator of inflammation that may influence the prognosis of atopy positive infants with bronchiolitis;EC is not a good index to present the airway inflammation of infants with bronehiolitis.
