Objective To observe the application of modified perfusion device pre-flushing method in double plasma molecular adsorption system (DPMAS) treatment and nursing care effect on patients with liver failure. Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted; 56 patients with liver failure who were consistent with the enrolled standard and admitted to the Surgical Intensive Care Unit (SICU) of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital fromJune 2014 to December 2016 were the objects of the study and their clinical data were collected. Ten patients involving the results of 17 case times from June 2014 to April 2015 were selected as the control group by using the traditional method of pre-flushing, and 46 patients involving the results of 68 case times from May 2015 to December 2016 were chosen as the observation group by using the modified perfusion device pre-flushing method. Both groups adopted effective nursing care cooperation: such as closely observe the changes of symptoms and signs of patients during the peri-treatment period, strengthen psychological care, maintain pipeline properly, and carry out the preventive management of anticoagulation and potential complications. The changes of symptoms and signs in the patients of two groups were observed, the DPMAS pre-flushing time and single time effective treatment time of the two groups were compared, before and 3 days after DPMAS treatment, the changes of serum total bilirubin (TBil), total bile acid (TBA) and its clearance rate, the changes of electrolytes, liver and kidney functions, blood routine and blood coagulation function were observed and compared between the two groups to evaluate and analyze the therapeutic effect of DPMAS.Results In the two groups, there were 56 patients involving 85 case times of DPMAS treatment all successfully completed, and the patients' symptoms and signs were improved significantly. The pre-flushing time of the observation group was obviously shorter than that in the control group (minutes: 29.5±13.1 vs. 38.9±14.7), and the single effective treatment time was obviously longer than that in the control group (minutes: 6.7±1.1 vs. 3.4±0.9,P < 0.05). After treatment, the TBil, TBA, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and albumin (ALB) in two groups were decreased significantly compared with those before treatment, the prothrombin time (PT) was markedly prolonged compared with that before treatment (allP < 0.05), and the degrees of improvement in the observation group were more obvious than those of the control group (butP > 0.05), and urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine (Cr), hemoglobin (Hb), platelet count (PLT), Na+ and K+ had no significant changes compared with those before treatment (allP > 0.05). The TBil clearance rate [(42.5±15.5)% vs. (32.9±13)%] and TBA clearance rate [(27±8.9)% vs. (17.1±5.8)%] in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (allP < 0.05). There were no adverse events such as electrolyte disturbance, errhysis or bleeding found in the two groups during the treatment. In the study, there were 8 case times with self feeling of skin itching, 8 case times of skin rash, 6 case times of nausea and vomiting, 6 case times of chest tightness, 5 case times of blood pressure dropping phenomena and 4 case times of fever symptoms, and after the symptomatic treatments and nursing intervention, all the above symptoms were relieved or disappeared.Conclusion The modified perfusion device pre-flushing method can effectively elevate the pre-flushing effect and therapeutic effect, it is simple, time-saving, can reduce the economic burden of the patients, thus it is worthy to be used widely in clinic, during the therapeutic process, reasonable and effective nursing measures are practiced, that is the key to guarantee the successful treatment of patients.

Objective To study the effect of human Slitrk1 gene on proliferation and differentiation of PC12 cells. Methods The CDS sequence of Slitrk1 was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into pcDNA4 vector. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA4/Slitrk1 were transfected into rat PC12 cells by lipofectamine. The stable expression cell clones were screened by RT-PCR. MTT method was used to detect the proliferation rate of PC12 cells. The morphologic changes in PC12 cells were observed microscopically. Results The stable cell lines expressing pcDNA4 (pcDNA4/PC12) and pcDNA4/Slitrk1 (ST1/PC12) were established. Compared to pcDNA4/PC12 cells, the growth rate of ST1/PC12 cells was decreased. In addition, pcDNA4/PC12 cells tend to grow as well as the normal PC12 cells. However, most of the ST1/PC12 cells adhered to the plate with one or two neurites. Conclusion Over-expression of human Slitrk1 gene inhibited the proliferation of PC12 cells and promoted the outgrowth of neurites. It is suggested that human Slitrk1 gene may be involved in differentiation of PC12 cells.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects of thrombolysis infusion via microcatheter on the treatment of central retinal artery occlusion(CRAO). Methods Urokinase (UK) was directly infused via ophthalmic artery (OA) by microcatheter (6 patients) or via intravenous (7 patients) to dissolve the thrombus. The patency of the artery was evaluated by fundus fluorescein angiography (FFA), and the effect of fibrinolytic activity on the systemic changes was observed by blood biochemical examination simultaneously. Results In 6 patients in the microcatheter group, 5 had completely and 1 had partly reopened OA on the morrow of UK infusion with the patency rate of 83.33%, while in 7 patients in vein group, 3 completely reopened, 2 partly reopened and 2 obstructed OA were found with the patency rate of 42.86%. The difference between the two groups was significant. No obvious change of index of blood coagulation system was found in catheter group, which had great disparity compared with the vein group. Conclusion Urokinase infusion via microcatheter in CRAO has better therapeutic impact and smaller effect on systemic action.

Background and purpose: L-asparaginase (L-Asp) is an important drug in the treatment of childhood lymphoid neoplasms at present, but a lot of adverse reactions of L-Asp were observed. Pegasparaginase (PEG-Asp) is available in China in recent years. This study aimed to explore efifcacy and side-effect of PEG-Asp as ifrst-line treatment in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and lymphoblastic lymphoma (LBL). Methods:A total number of 211 ALL or LBL patients were treated with CCLG 2008 or BFM-90 protocol with PEG-Asp or L-Asp between Apr. 2008 and Mar. 2013;42 patients, among whom, were 35 ALL patients and 7 LBL patients, were treated with PEG-Asp as ifrst-line treatment;169 patients were treated with L-Asp as ifrst-line treatment (including 53 patients treated with L-Asp during induction protocol; with PEG-Asp during consolidate protocol). The clinical outcome and adverse reaction of PEG-Asp with L-Asp were observe and compared. Results: There were 35 ALL patients in PEG-Asp ifrst-line treatment group and the complete remission rate after 1 course of PEG-Asp was 97.1%,however, which was 83.3%of high risk ALL patients. The complete remission rate of 7 LBL patients of PEG-Asp ifrst-line treatment group was 57.1%. There was no signiifcant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). Thirty-four patients relapsed including 5 patients of PEG-Asp ifrst-line treatment group, 16 patients of L-Asp ifrst-line treatment group and 13 patients treated with L-Asp during induction protocol and with PEG-Asp during consolidate protocol. Thirty-one patients died including 3, 18, 10 patients in 3 groups respectively. Twenty-two patients died of relapse, 4 died without remission, 5 died of complications. There was also no signiifcant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). The incidence rates of adverse reactions were 47.6% and 63.3% respectively. Anaphylaxis, liver functions abnormalities, blood coagulation abnormalities, gastrointestinal reaction, hyperglycemia and pancreatitis were common in our patients. The incidence rate of anaphylaxis in PEG-Asp as ifrst-line treatment group was lower than other groups (P=0.03). But there was no signiifcant difference been observed in the incidence of other adverse reaction. Conclusion: The short-term efifcacy of PEG-Asp as the ifrst-line treatment in childhood leukemia and lymphoma was satisfactory and the incidence rate of anaphylaxis was lower. However, we will still pay much attention to adverse reaction monitoring of PEG-Asp.
