Objective To explore the mechanical ventilation in ICU patients with respiratory failure with pulmonary hypertension plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels. Methods 50 patients needed mechanical ventilation with respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension were randomly divided into two groups (each n = 25). On the basis of routine therapy, patients in noninvasive mechanical ventilation group received assistant breathing masks, and those in invasive mechanical ventilation group received tracheotomy or tracheal intubation. Blood gas analysis, plasma BNP levels, and pulmonary artery pressure before and 24 h after treatment were recorded. Results The arterial blood gas analysis index in the two groups 24 h after treatment were significantly improved (P < 0.05), especially in invasive mechanical ventilation group, so as the results of plasma BNP levels and pulmonary artery pressure (P < 0.05). Conclusions Invasive mechanical ventilation for ICU patients with respiratory failure and pulmonary hypertension is relatively better than noninvasive mechanical ventilation treatment. BNP concentration can be decreased by Mechanical ventilation, especially by invasive mechanical ventilation.

OBJECTIVE: To design the dosage regimen of aminophylline using reported pharmacokinetic parameters (mean group value). METHODS: The calculation of oral maintain dose, the infusion rate of intravenous drip maintain dose and the loading dose of intravenous drip were introduced. RESULTS: Different dose were required for different pathophysiological conditions insteading of aminophylline 200 mg three times a day (p.o.) for every patient. CONCLUSION: It is recommended that all hospitals which are unable to determine plasma concentration should design dosage regime of aminophylline using pharmacokinetic parameters.

Objective To analyze the utilization and influencing factors for community health service (CHS)of the elderly population under the community first contact care background.Methods 1028 elderly citizens were investigated at their homes with a stratified random sampling method.Results The two-week prevalence rate was 29.56％ and the two-week visiting rate was 61.00％ of the elderly population surveyed.52.30％ of the surveyed objects were willing to choose community health service centers for outpatient.90.08％ of the surveyed could get to one community health service center in 15 minutes.The influencing factors of choosing community health centers were age,income,chronic illness,satisfaction of service quality of CHS and the skill of community physicians.Conclusions The utilization level of CHS need improvement for the elderly population.To improve the service quality of CHS and professional skills of community physicians are critical factors attracting elderly population to choose community health centers.

Objective To observe the effect of pravastatin on the expression of heat shock protein B7 (HSPB7) in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rats. Methods A total of 80 AMI rats were randomly divided into AMI group and pravas-tatin (P) group. Forty SD rats were used as sham operation (SH) group. Rats were then subdivided into 1 h, 3 h, 6 h and 12 h subgroups (10 for each group). Rats were not ligated after thoracotomy in SH group. The 1eft anterior descending coronary ar-tery was ligated in rats of AMI group. The 1eft anterior descending coronary artery was ligated in P group and given intragas-tric administration of 0.5 mg/(kg · d) pravastatin. The other groups were given the same amount of normal saline via gavage. The left ventricle infarcted myocardial tissues were taken at each time intervals. The corresponding myocardial tissues were harvested in sham-operated rats. The HSPB7 mRNA and protein expressions were measured by RT-PCR and immunohisto-chemistry respectively.Results The expression levels of HSPB7 mRNA and protein were significantly higher in the AMI group and P group than those of SH group(P<0.01). The expression levels of HSPB7 mRNA and protein were significantly increased 1 h after AMI and reached the peak value at 3 h after AMI. The expression levels of HSPB7 mRNA and protein were still higher in 6-h group and 12-h group than those of SH group. The expression levels of HSPB7 were higher in differ-ent time points of P group than those of AMI group. Conclusion HSPB7 could express in the early stage of acute myocardi-al infarction in rats. Pravastatin could promote the upregulation of HSPB7 in myocardial infarcted border zone after AMI, which may play a protective role in early myocardial infarction.
