Objective To study the correlation between blood lactic acid level and PCIS scroing system.To study the relationship between dynamic lactic acid monitoring indexes and prognosis of critical patients.Methods Differences of mortality,incidence of MODS and shock,PCIS score between two groups were compared.The patients were divided into 3 groups by PCIS score to compare pathogenetic conditions prognosis, then to study the were divided into death group and survival group by the hospital prognosis. Differences of their lactic indexes and other clinical indicators which reflected organ/system status were compared, prognostic-significant lactic indexes were selected by mu fti-variable logistic analysis. Results Patients with elevated lactic acid level had more incidence of shock and MODS, higher PCIS scores and higher mortality, the differences had statistical significance compared with the normal lactic acid group. There were significant linear correlation between ICU lactic acid level, peak lactic acid level and PCIS scores respectively. For the patients with elevated lactic acid level, peak lactic acid level, 12h lactic clearance had significant correlation with prognosis. Conclusion PCIS scoring system had a significant linear correlation with lactic acid level. For the patients with elevated lactic acid level,peak lactic acid level,12h lactic clearance were good indicators to evaluate patients' prognosis.
3.Characteristic of hyperuricemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and association between serum uric acid level and components of the metabolic syndrome
Journal of Chinese Physician 2008;10(11):1447-1449
Objective To evaluate the clinical and biochemical characteristics of type 2 diabetics with hyperuricemia and to investi-gate the association between serum uric acid and the number of metabolic syndrome components. Method In the cross-sectional study of 547 type 2 diabetics, we recorded body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure(SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and collected blood samples to measure serum uric acid (UA), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc), creatinine (Cr) and blood lipid profile, including tfiglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low-density cholesterol LDL-C) and high-density cholesterol (HDL-C). Results Compared with the normal UA group, the diabetic patients in the high UA group had significantly increased levels of BMI, SBP, DBP, FPG, Cr, TG, TC and HbA1c (P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.05, P <0.01, P <0.01), and decreased level of HDL-C(P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in the level of LDL-C between the two groups (P > 0.05). According to their possession of 1, 2, 3 or 4 components of metabolic syndrome, 547 cases were divided into four groups (MSI, MS2,MS3 and MS4). There were significant difference in the levels of UA, BMI, SBP, DBP, Cr, TG, TC, LDL-C and HDL-C among MSI, MS2, MS3 and MS4 (All P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis showed that UA concentration was positively correlated with sex, TG and Cr (Beta:0. 088,0. 350, 0. 124; P < 0.05, P <0.01, P <0.01) and negatively correlated with HDL-C and HbA1 c(Beta: -0.107, -0.124 ; P <0.01, P <0.01). The con-centration of UA was strongly correlated with serum TG. Conclusions Serum UA level in type 2 diabetics was significantly elevated as the number of metabolic components increased. Abnormal TG had great influence on serum UA. Hyperuricemia was considered to be a dangerous factor of the metabolic syndrome.

Objective To investigate the factors that influence the patients to understand the stroke they suffering from.Methods 61 stroke patients were investigated with a questionnaire designed by ourselves.ResultsThe age,sex and educated level affected the stroke patients' understanding,but the time after onset,the degree of locomotory injured and hemiplegic side did not.ConclusionDistinguishing direction of rehabilitation should be established according to the age,sex and educated level of patients.

Objective To investigate the changes in molecule levels of Ras-ERK signal pathway of K562 cells treated with simvastatin in vitro,and to illustrate that simvastatin inducing the changes in molecule levels of Ras- ERK signal pathway is involved in regulation of proliferation and apoptosis of K562 cells. Methods K562 cells,the chronic myelocytic leukemia(CML) cell lines,were cultured and treated with simvastatin in vitro and proliferation activity of K562 cells was detected by MTT. The changes of apoptosis rate and cell cycle of K562 cells were measured by flow cytometry(FCM). The molecular changes of Ras-ERK signal pathway were analyzed by RT- PCR in transcriptional level. Results The proliferation of K562 cells was inhibited by simvastatin,and G_0-G_1 arrested in K562 cells and significant apoptosis rate was observed with FCM. Most molecules of Ras- ERK signal pathway expressed differentially at transctiptional level. Conclusion Simvastatin probablely inhibit proliferation and induces apoptosis of K562 cells,depending on Ras-ERK signal pathway which is involved in cell proliferation and apoptosis.

[Summary] Radical prostatectomy, external beam radiation and active surveillance are the main treatments for localized prostate cancer. However, many patients are difficult to accept the psychological burden of active surveillance and the distress caused by potential side effects of radical therapy, including incontinence and erectile dysfunction, which make them limited. With the development of minimally invasive techniques, such as brachytherapy, cryoablation, high-intensity focused ultrasound, photodynamic therapy, and irreversible electroporation, novel procedures are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of localized prostate cancer with their effective, minimally invasive, and safe advantages. This article mainly reviewed the above several minimally invasive treatment methods.

The clinical characteristics, therapeutic effects and complications of 32 incipient patients with acute Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada ( VKH) syndrome admitted in Wuxi Second Hospital during October 2010 to September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 15 males and 17 females with a mean age of (41.3 ±14.1) years (22 -71 years), the time from the disease onset to treatment ranged from 3 to 20 days.Among 32 cases, 30 ( 94%) had premonitory symptoms. The multifocal bullous neurosensory detachment, optic disk hyperemia and edema in posterior pole of fundus were found in all cases, and exudative retinal detachment was found in 4 cases (6 eyes).The results of optical coherence tomography ( OCT) showed the macula neurosensory detachment, thick retinal neuroepithelial layer and wavy RPE layer in all patients.Fundus fluorescein angiography ( FFA) showed that scattered hyperfluorescence dots and cystic fluorescein reservoir was observed in early phase and later period respectively.Patients received intravenous methylprednisolone with the onset dose of 80 mg per day for 3-7 days and oral administration followed, which would gradually decrease later;the average treatment duration was (52.9 ±14.6) weeks. The visual acuity of 40 eyes (22 cases) was recovered to more than 0.8, and no blindness occurred after the treatment.During the treatment hair loss, depigmentation of skin and hair were found in 12 cases (38%) , and 2 cases showed short-term elevated intraocular pressure.These symptoms disappeared after drug therapy ceased.And no recurrence was found during the follow-up of 6 months.However, sunset glow fundus was found in 13 patients (26 eyes).The study shows that the diagnosis of VKH syndrome is based on the typical signs of the fundus presented on OCT and FFA.Early and systemic administration of glucocorticoids is important treatment for patients with VHK syndrome, which could decrease systemic and local complications effectively.

Melanoma is the most aggressive and lethal malignant tumor in skin cancers. Operation resection is used to treat stageⅠ/Ⅱmelanomas, but traditional operation, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy inflicts adverse effects on late-stage melanomas. StageⅢ/Ⅳmelanomas are some of the most ineffectively treated tumors with poor prognosis. As a cancer treatment, targeted immunotherapy in-hibits negative regulatory factors and enhances systemic anti-tumor immune effects. Radiotherapy not only kills tumor cells, but also en-hances systemic immune responses. Recent studies showed that targeted immunotherapy combined with radiotherapy can promote con-trol on local and distant tumors and prolong overall survival. The synergistic effects of these two therapies are superior to a single thera-py. This review summarized the progress on these research fields.
