Objective We aimed to study the performance evaluation indicators of central venous pressure (CVP) measuring system for ICU patients in clinical trials and discuss its impact factors.Methods Ac-cording to the performance evaluation indicators of CVP measuring system based on the Delphi method,a form was created to evaluate the continuous CVP monitoring of 197 ICU patients and then the data were collected.A comparative analysis was performed to verify the factors affecting the performance of CVP measuring system.Results The performance of CVP measuring system was affected by the number of threeway switches,vasoactive drugs and positive end-expiratory pressure,the statistical value was 8.577,-6.773and 3.244.There were no statistically significant differences with respect to performance evaluation indicators of CVP measuring system among the patients with different body positions.Conclusions The performance evaluation indicators of CVP measuring sys-tem proves to be feasible and practical by clinical empirical research.Their influencing factors were dis-cussed and they offer a valuable reference for the determination of the performance of CVP measuring sys-tem in clinical practice.

Objective:To investigate the value of B ultrasonography in the early diagnosis of transient synovitis of hip (TSH) in dogs, and provide the valid base and data for the clinic early diagnosis of TSH. Methods:Eighty 2-3 month old dogs were injected 2‰noradrenalin (NA) into the hip joint induced TSH. We observed 5 assessments that included the 99mTC-MDP triphasic imaging, X ray, B ultrasonography, the synovial lfuid and the pathological tissue check in different time. Results:Early course of TSH presented the synovium of joint hemangiectasis, hyperaemia, synovium villus hyperplasia, edema, and joint inflammatory exudation. The ischemia of local blood supply of the femoral head was observed by 99mTC-MDP triphasic imaging. Ultrasonography showed the broadening of the anterior space of the hip, but the X ray showed no valid changes.Conclusion:B ultrasonography can report the early changes of TSH and may be used in the early diagnosis of TSH in children.

ObjectiveTo identify the curative effect of minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) and humeral head replacement in treatment of elderly patients with Neer four-part fractures.MethodsUsing the deltoid pectoral approach,28 patients with fresh Neer four-part fractures were treated by the locking plate combined with MIPO (Group A) and 27 by the humeral head replacement (Group B).Neer score,Constant-Murley score and simple shoulder test (SST) questionnaire were adopted for assessing the treatment outcome.ResultsGroup A was followed up for mean 32.1 months,which showed screws protruding into the joint space in two patients,tuberosity upward and backward displacement in one and femoral head ischemic necrosis in one.The mean visual analog scale (VAS) score,the mean Neer score and the mean Constant-Murley score were 2.2 points,88.6 points and 86.5 points respectively.There were average 9.0 answers for “yes” in the SST questionnaire.Group B were followed up for mean 34.6 months,which showed shoulder dislocation or subluxation in four patients,tuberosity displacement or excessive reduction in eight.The mean VAS score,the mean Neer score and the mean Constant-Murley score were 2.4 points,78.9 points and 77.3 points respectively.The mean number of answer for “yes” in SST questionnaire was 8.0 questions.There showed no statistical difference in VAS score between the two groups.While statistical difference was found in complications,Neer score,Constant-Murley score and SST score between two groups,with Group A superior to Group B.Conclusions For most elderly patients with Neer four-part fractures,MIPO has satisfactory results under strict control of surgical indications and technical tips.The humeral head replacement surgery still has many unresolved problems and needs careful consideration.

Objective To study the effect of Tacrolimus on blood lipid after renal transplantation,and the relationship between C825T polymorphism in G protein beta 3 subunit (GNB3) gene and serum lipid levels.Method Eighty-one cases of recipients patients after renal transplantation were divided into two groups in terms of Tacrolimus concentration:normal blood concentration group (group A) and low blood concentration group (group B).The serum lipid levels at 1st,3rd,6th,and 12th month after renal transplantation were measured.Genotype was determined by the simple sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (SSP-PCR).Result The percentage of patients with hypertriglyceride in group A was significantly higher than in group B during the one-year follow-up period.There was significant difference between the two groups in the serum triglyceride levels but no difference in the serum cholesterol levels.The 825C/T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene was not associated with hypertriglyceride in renal transplantations in Wenzhou.Conclusion The serum triglyceride levels in renal transplantations in Wenzhou was associated with the Tacrolimus concentration,and the incidence of hypertriglyceride is not associated with the 825C/T polymorphism in the GNB3 gene.

Aim To investigate the protective effect of cinnamic aldehyde ( CA ) on hormone-induced osteo-clasts proliferation and bone resorption in vitro and its molecular mechanisms. Methods RAW264. 7 cells induced into osteoclast were treated with RANKL and M-CSF and then were divided into control group, dexa-methasone ( DEX ) group and different doses of CA (11. 6, 23. 2, 46. 4 μg·L-1 ) groups. OCs were ob-served after tartrate resistant acid phosphatase( TRAP) staining. The cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay at different time points. The expression levels of TRACP5 b in cell cultured supernatants were measured by ELISA. RT-PCR technique was applied to examine the transcriptional levels of RANK and NFATc1 . Re-sults In MTT assay, the proliferation of osteoclasts stimulated by dexamethasone was promoted seriously compared with negative control group ( P < 0. 05 ) . Meanwhile, DEX could strengthen the content of TRACP5 b and up-regulate the expressions of RANK and NFATc1 mRNA. After administration of CA, the proliferation was inhibited, while the enhanced expres-sion of TRAP5b was reversed,and the over-expressions of RANK and NFATc1 mRNA were obviously down-regulated in a time-and-dose-dependent manner ( P <0. 05 ) . Conclusion The results suggest that CA in-hibits proliferation and bone resorption of osteoclast in-duced by DEX, which may be mediated by down-regu-lation of RANK and NFATc1 mRNA.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of combined application of lactitol oral solution and polyethylene glycol electrolyte (PEG) powder compared with conventional method in bowel preparation before colonoscopy. Methods 205 patients who underwent colonoscopy were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. The experimental group (n = 102) were given lactitol and polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder, whereas the patients in control group (n = 103) were given polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder only. The visibility and adverse effects during colonoscopy were observed. Results The cleaning satisfaction rate was not statistically significant between the two groups. The proportion of cleanliness to grade 1 in experimental group was higher than that in control group. The incidence of adverse effects in experimental group was lower, and there was no effect on sleeping night. The compliance and tolerance of hospitalized patients were significantly improved. Conclusion Lactitol combined with polyethylene glycol electrolyte (peg) powder is safe, effective, with low incidence of adverse effect for bowel preparation in hospitalized patients.

Objective:To demonstrate the relationship between the Th 1/Th2/Th17/Treg paradigm and the bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency and looking for potential target for clinical treatment.Methods:30 BALB/c mice were divided randomly into the normal control group , the sham operation group , and the ovariectomy group.The serum estradiol ( E2 ) was assessed by ELISA.Bone mineral density (BMD) of thigh bone was measured with dual energy X ray absorptiometry.Meanwhile,the T-cell subsets (Th1:CD4+TNFα+, Th2: CD4+IL-4+, Th17: CD4+IL-17 A+, Treg: CD4+CD25+Foxp3+) in spleen lymphocytes were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results:Compared with the normal group and the sham operation group , both E2 and BMD in the ovariectomy group decreased significantly ( P<0.05 ).The percentage of Th 1 and Th17 subset increased while the percentage of Th 2 and Treg decreased significantly in ovariectomy mice compared with sham operation mice.Correlation analysis showed that BMD was positively related to E 2 level and the percentage of Th 2 and Treg subset;however ,BMD was negatively related to the percentage of Th 1 and Th17 subset ( P<0.05 ).Conclusion: Conclusion: T-cell paradigm was involved in the bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency.Modifying T-cell paradigm may become a potential target for reducing bone loss induced by estrogen deficiency .

Objective:To evaluate the accuracy of white light conventional endoscopy (CE), endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) and narrow-band imaging with magnifying endoscopy (ME-NBI) in evaluating the invasion depth of early gastric cardiac cancer, and to explore the diagnostic strategy of preoperative evaluation of invasive depth of early gastric cardiac cancer.Methods:From January 2016 to June 2019, the endoscopic images of 135 patients with early gastric cardiac cancer confirmed by pathology in Fujian Provincial Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. Intramucosal carcinoma (M) and superficial submucosal invasive carcinoma (SM1) were classified as M-SM1 cancer and compared with deep submucosal invasive cancer. The pathological diagnosis after operation was used as gold standard. The accuracy of CE, EUS, ME-NBI and the combination of them in determining the invasion depth of early gastric cardiac cancer was evaluated. Kappa test was performed for consistency test. Kappa value < 0.2 was considered as poor consistency, 0.2 to 0.4 as general consistency, more than 0.4 to 0.6 as medium consistency, more than 0.6 to 0.8 as high consistency, and 0.8 to 1.0 as close to full consistency. Results:The data of 73 patients with early gastric cardiac cancer were enrolled in this study. According to the pathological results after operation, 47 cases were M-SM1 cancer and 26 cases were deep submucosal invasive cancer. The diagnostic accuracy of CE, EUS, ME-NBI and the combination of them before operation were 79.5% (58/73), 72.6% (53/73), 65.7% (48/73) and 87.7% (64/73), respectively. The results of consistency test indicated that the consistency of CE diagnosis and pathological results after operation was medium ( Kappa=0.540, P<0.01), that of EUS and pathological results after operation was general ( Kappa=0.346, P=0.002), that of ME-NBI and pathological results after operation was poor ( Kappa=0.175, P=0.108), while that of the combination of them and pathological results after operation was high ( Kappa=0.724, P<0.01). Conclusions:Compared with single examination method, the combination of CE, EUS and ME-NBI is more accurate in evaluating the invasive depth of early gastric cardiac cancer.

Objective To study the influencing factors for outcomes of gastric low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia ( LGIN) for better LGIN treatment regimen. Methods Using magnifying endoscopy combined with narrow-band imaging ( ME-NBI ) follow-up strategy, the endoscopic features of 47 cases of LGIN in Fujian Provincial Hospital, including location, size, surface situation, demarcation line, microvascular pattern and microsurface pattern, were prospectively observed, then the factors influencing the outcome were analyzed. Results Among the 47 cases of LGIN, there were 35 cases in stable condition, whose results of biopsy and ME-NBI had no changes (stable LGIN), and the mean follow-up time was 20. 7±6. 9 months. The remaining 12 patients had progressive dysplasia (progressive LGIN), including 4 cases of high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 8 cases of moderate dysplasia. The mean follow-up time was 16. 3 ± 11. 8 months. There were no significant differences between the two groups in gender (P=0. 33), mean age (P=0. 13), lesion distribution (P=0. 70), and lesion morphology (P=0. 97). The lesion size was less than 20 mm in the stable group ( 71. 4％, 25/35) , and over 20 mm in the progressive group ( 66. 7％, 8/12) , and the difference was statistically significant ( P=0. 02) . The proportion of the lesion surface heterogeneity in the progressive group was significantly higher than that in the stable group[75. 0％ (9/12) VS 34. 3％ (12/35),P= 0. 01 ] . The proportion of positive manifestations under ME-NBI in the progressive group was also significantly higher than that in the stable group [ 83. 3％ ( 10/12 ) VS 8. 6％ ( 3/35 ) , P = 0. 00 ] . Conclusion The size of lesions over 20 mm, the uneven surface and positive ME-NBI are the important factors influencing the outcome of LGIN, which are of significance for the diagnosis and treatment of LGIN.
