Sepsis is a common desease with a high mortality in pediatric intensive care unit. The patho-genesis of sepsis remains unclear. Recent studies have found that extracellular histones play an important role in the incidence of sepsis. This review provides new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of sepsis.

Objective To investigate the safety,efficacy and effects of emergent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients from Second Affiliated Hospital,Medical College,Zhejiang University with cardiogenic shock (CS) complicating acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Method Twenty-seven patients with CS complicating with AMI were treated by PCI with intraaortic balloon counterpulsation (IABP) support.The change of hemodynamics before and after IABP and PCI,the characteristics of PCI,the mortality during hospitalization, the major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and left ventricular ejection fraction at 30-day follow-up were observed.Results The hemodynamics were significantly improved after IABP.No patients died during PCI.Two patients died after PCI and the total mortality was 7.4% in hospital.During the period of 30-day follow-up, one patient died of heart failure.The left ventricular ejection fraction greatly improved at 30 days after PCI. Conclusions The data suggested that the use of IABP during PCI in patients with CS complicating AMI was safe, decreased mortality and improved prognosis.

In order to build a high-quality teaching group with excellent academics,strong innovation and comprehensive ability, the School of Public Health of CQUMS pays much attention to training young teachers,encouraging them to further their study and scientific research abilities as well as improving their comprehensive abilities.

Nucleoside analogues have been the mainstay of clinical treatment of herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infections since their development. However, the emergence of drug resistant strains has underlined the urgency of the discovery of novel anti-HSV-1 drugs. Natural products, which provided many novel drug leads, are known to be an important source of anti-HSV-1 agents. Herein, we present an overview of natural products with anti-HSV-1 activities isolated from a variety of plants reported in recent years. Several different compounds, mainly belonging to the three groups of polysaccharides, polyphenols and terpenes, showed antiviral effects against HSV-1, indicating their potential to be promising anti-HSV-1 agents.

OBJECTIVE:To summarizethe application of polypropylene repair material in treating inguinal hernia.METHODS:Papers regarding polypropylene repair material in treating inguinal hernia published in VIP data between January 1998 and October 2009 were researched using key words of "polypropylene,inguinal hernia,and complication".Inclusion criteria Repairing inguinal hernia using polypropylene materials.Experimental results concerning related complications.Exclusion criteria:repetitive study and relatively old literature.A total of 17 documents were included in this study.RESULTS:Organic polymeric materials were clinical utilized in repairing inguinal hernia at the end of 1950s.The polypropylene patch was knitted by slngle fiber or multi-strands fibers of polypropylene,and exhibited single layer network structures,which is preferred material for repairing abdominal-wall defect.Compared with other unabsorble materials,the polypropylene patch had following advantage:obviously stimulating fibroplasias; easy permeated by fibrous tissues and embedded into tissues; maintaining highly tensile strength following implantation; and relative low cost.Few material-related complications occurred following repairing,mainly presented with infection,serofiuid swelling,ankylenteron,intestinal leakage,material displacement,as well as material shrinkage.CONCLUSION:Polypropylene material is an ideal repair material due to good histocompatibility,few rejections,and anti-infection capability.It leads to easy operation,small trauma,fast recovery and few complications in repairing defects.

Adoptive immune cells can regulate and strengthen immune function of cancer patients,thus effectively inhibit tumor escaping.Cytokine induced killer cells (CIK),natural killer cells (NK),tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL),dendritic cells (DC),T cell receptor-modified T cells (TCR-T) and chimeric antigen receptor-modified T cells (CAR-T) eliminate tumor by killing tumor cells directly or stimulating the immune response against tumor cells through different mechanisms.

Objective To investigate the effect of Huangqi four Decoction in treating gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) and its effect on the levels of Mg2+,CRP,adiponectin and complications.Methods In our hospital from August 2015 to January 2017 were 130 cases of gestational diabetes patients as the research object,the patients were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 65 cases in each group,the control group was given conventional treatment,patients in the observation group in the conventional treatment based on the use of Astragalus four gentleman decoction,observe two groups of patients before and after fasting blood glucose (FPG),2h postprandial blood glucose (2 hPG),glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c),and Mg2+,CRP and serum adiponectin levels and occurrence of complications after treatment and the curative effect.Results After treatment,the observation group FPG[(5.30±0.3)mmol/L],2 hPG[(5.36±0.27)mmol/L],HbA1c[(5.58±1.29%)]levels were lower than those of control group[(5.68±0.38)mmol/L,(6.01±0.33)mmol/L,(6.86±1.35)%],the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).In the observation group,Mg2+ [(1.25±0.36)mmol/L] and adiponectin[(35.24±5.18)μg/L] levels were higher than those of the control group [(0.91±0.30)mmol/L and (30.76±4.85)μg/L],while CRP [(1.59±0.35)mg/L] was lower than control group[(2.21±0.46)mg/L],the difference was statistically significance(P<0.05);observation group of adverse reactions in patients with abdominal pain,abdominal distension,the incidence of hypoglycemia (9.23%) than in the control group (38.46%),the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05);the patients in observation group after treatment The total effective rate (96.92%) was higher than that of the control group (n=87.69%),and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Astragalus four Decoction in the treatment of gestational diabetes can effectively reduce blood glucose,improve Mg2+,CRP,adiponectin and other related indicators,reduce the incidence of complications,the effect is significant,worthy of clinical application.

Gindenosides are the active ingredients of Panax ginseng. 20 (S) -protopanaxadiolocotillol type epimers are the main metabolites of 20 (S) -protopanaxadiol. The previous studies showed that there are stereoselectivity difference in pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics between 24R-epimer and 24S-epimer. The purpose of this study was to explore the excretion of the epimers in bile, feces and urine of rat. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method has been performed for determination of 24R-epimer and 24S-epimer in bile, feces and urine. 24R-epimer or 24S-epimer was intragastric administered to rats at a single dose of 10 mg x kg(-1). Results showed that after administration the recovery of 24R-epimer and 24S-epimer in feces was 17.69% and 17.09%, respectively, while both of the two epimers were hardly detected in urine. The 48 h cumulative biliary excretion rate of 24R-epimer was 8.01% after administration, while only 1.47% for 24S-epimer. It indicated that there are stereoselectivity in biliary excretion of the epimers with intragastric administration.
