Objective To explore the correlative factors of hypotension among hemodialysis patients and to come up with nursing interventions.Methods The histories of 49 maintenance hemodialysis patients were retrospectively reviewed to find out the correlative factors of hypotension and summarize the nursing strategies.Results The major factors for hypotension included large volume of dehydration and fast speed of dehydration in 22 cases,malnutrition and hypoproteinemia in 8 cases,severe anemia in 6 cases,dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system in 5 cases,low concentration of sodium or high temperature of dialysate in 4 case and medication errors and eating too much before or during dialysis in 4 cases.Conclusion The nursing strategies including control of weight,correct assessment of dry weight,right performance of low temperature hemodialysis and sodiun profile hemodialysis as well as mental care to those with depression are critical for prevention of hypotension development in patients undergoing maintenance hemodialysis.

Objective:To study the functional status of the monocytes-derived dendritic cells (DCs) plused with HBsAg from patients with chronic hepatitis B and their capacity of inducing the HBV- special cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs),and explore a new method of inducing the special anti-HBV cell-mediated immunity.Methods:Monocytes of patients were isolated from peripheral blood and incubated with GM-CSF+IL-4+TNF-? to induce DCs generation. Those DCs were pulsed with HBsAg to induce HBV- special DCs. The phenotype of DCs including CD1a,CD80,CD83,CD86,CD40 and HLA-DR was characterized by FCM and the stimulating reaction of allogenic T lymphocytes was detected by MTT assay. The concentration of cytokines such as IL-12 and IL-6 in supernate was tested by ELISA and the cytotoxicity of CTLs inducing by the DCs against HepG2 2.2.15 cells,HepG2 cells and K562 cells were detected by LDH assay.Results:The expression of CD1a, CD80, CD83,CD86, CD40, HLA-DR molecules on the DCs pulsed with HBsAg was higher than those of the control group (P

Objective:To study the radiotherapy sensitization of recombinant human endostatin in patients with cervical cancer.Methods:Sixty patients with advanced cervical cancer (stage ⅡB to ⅣA) from July 2017 to November 2018 in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University were selected. The patients were divided into experimental group and control group according to random number table with 30 cases each. The patients in experimental group were treated with recombinant human endostatin combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy, while the patients in control group only received chemoradiotherapy. The serum levels of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) were measured 1 week before treatment and 1 week after treatment, and short-term efficacy was evaluated 3 months after treatment.Results:The objective remission rate (ORR) and disease control rate (DCR) in experimental group were higher than those in control group: 93% (28/30) vs. 87% (26/30) and 97% (29/30) vs. 93% (28/30), but there were no statistical differences between 2 groups ( P>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the occurrence of adverse reactions between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Compared with that before treatment, the serum VEGF and bFGF after treatment were significantly lower, experimental group: (88.07 ± 37.53) ng/L vs. (227.27 ± 142.61) ng/L and (21.03 ± 5.75) ng/L vs. (38.34 ± 18.17) ng/L, control: (120.04 ± 81.22) ng/L vs. (197.34 ± 142.41) ng/L and (24.04 ± 7.29) ng/L vs. (39.78 ± 13.35) ng/L, and there were statistical differences ( P<0.01); after treatment, the serum VEGF and bFGF in experimental group were lower than those in control group, but there were no statistical difference between 2 groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:For patients with advanced cervical cancer, recombinant human endostatin combined with concurrent chemoradiotherapy can further decrease the serum levels of VEGF and bFGF, improve the sensitivity of chemoradiotherapy, and enhance the short-term efficacy.

Objective To study the value and feasibility of temporary emergency bedside cardiac pacing. Method Two hundred patients with severe witnessed bradycardia were treated with temporary emergency cardiac pacing. We treated 130 patients with emergency bedside pacing and 70 patients with x-ray-guided pacing. Results Emergency bedside pacing was successful in 127 patients except three patients and no postoperative complications occurred. X-ray-guided pacing was successful in all 70 patients but three patients experienced complications: one deep venous thrombosis and two cardiac tamponades due to myocardial perforation. The pacing electrodes were more likely to be displaced in X-ray-guided pacing than in emergency bedside pacing (six cases versus three cases) . The door-to-operation time was 30-90 min for x-ray-guided cardiac pacing and 5-15 min for emergency bedside pacing. Needle-to-pacing times were similar for both procedures (3.5 ± 1.5 min for x-ray guided pacing versus 4± 2.5 min for bedside pacing). Conclusions Temporary emergency bedside cardiac pacing is a rapid, efficient and safe procedure for treating severe witnessed bradycardia. The technique is easily mastered and may prove lifesaving in an emergency.

Objective To study the effect of multiple IPL treatment on cell senescence markers of skin fibroblasts using UVA as a control and to make clear whether the multiple IPL treatment may result in cell senescence.Methods Cells were divided into three groups: one group without irradiation as a control,one group receiving IPL treatment with 15 J per cm2,and the last group receiving UVA irradiation with 9 J per cm2.IPL and UVA irradiation were performed once a day during five days.On the sixth day,the cells were collected.Senescence-associated β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal) staining,cell cycle,reactive oxygen species (ROS) and telomere length were determined.Results Our results showed that five consecutive days of IPL irradiation had no effect on the activity of SA-β-Gal and telomere length and decreased the G1 ％ of cell cycle and the level of ROS in comparison with the control group (P＜0.05).On the contrary,five consecutive days of UVA irradiation increased the activity of SA β Gal and the level of ROS,shortened the length of telomere and no obvious change in the G1 ％ of cell cycle in comparison with the control group.Conclusions Multiple UVA irradiations induce cell senescence.On the contrary,multiple IPL treatments could not induce cell senescence.

Objective To study the genetic diversity of different geographical populations of Houttuynia cordata in China.Methods The genetic diversity of 15 geographical populations of H.cordata from 13 provinces in China was estimated using amplified fragment length polymorphism(AFLP) markers.The data of amplified bands were analyzed by the software POPGENE and MEGA.Results The ten AFLP primers employed produced a total of 110 discernable and reproduceable amplified fragments.The percentage of polymorphic bands within different populations was 70.51%.Genetic diversity analysis showed that effective number of alleles(Ne) was 1.210,Nei′s gene diversity(H) was 0.119,and Shannon′s genetic diversity index(I) was 0.186.The coefficient of genetic distance was 0.008 9—0.181 8 among populations.A UPGMA dendrogram based on Nei′s(1972) genetic distance visualized that the 15 populations were grouped into three different clusters,Emei population was one individual cluster group and the other populations were grouped into two different clusters corresponding to the different geographical areas.Conclusion The genetic diversity within different geographical populations of H.cordata in China is plentiful.

Objective To investigate association between postural changes of blood pressure and carotid atherosclerosis in the elderly.Methods Standardized questionnaires,physical examination and biochemical blood tests were performed to acquire clinical characteristics of the participants.Presences of carotid plaques were identified by carotid ultrasound examination.Orthostatic hypotension (OH) and orthostatic hypertension (OHT) were defined according to the international consensus.Multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed to analyze the associations of carotid plaques with OH and OHT.Results 377 old people were finally included,of which 101 had OH and 33 had OHT.After full adjustment for possible confounders,old people with carotid plaques had significantly increased risk for OH as compared with those without carotid plaques (OR=2.27,95％ CI:1.32-3.90,P=0.003).Participants with bilateral carotid plaques were associated with significantly increased risk for OH (OR=3.45,95％CI:1.74 6.84,P=0.001),while the association between unilateral carotid plaques and OH was not significant (OR=1.71,95％ CI:0.88-3.32,P=0.112).No significant association was identified between carotid plaques (bilateral or unilateral) and OHT.Conclusions Presence of carotid plaques,particularly bilateral plaques,may be an independent risk factor for OH.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of applying compound lidocaine cream on tracheal mucosa as topical anesthesia to reduce the stress reaction during extubation of tracheal tube. Methods Sixty patients (aged 18-65yr,body weight 40-80kg,ASA Ⅰ-Ⅱ) scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia were selected,and they were randomly divided into compound lidocaine cream group (group L,n=30) and control group (group C,n=30). Orotracheal intubation was performed in all the patients. Compound lidocaine cream was uniformly smeared on the foremost third of endotracheal tubes before intubation in group L,and no drug was coated on endotracheal tubes in group C. The changes in blood pressure and heart rates during extubation,the use of hypotensive drugs,cough reflex,breath holding,sore throat and pharyngeal discomfort after extubation were compared between the two groups. Results The operation and intubation time of the two groups showed no significant difference. The blood pressure and heart rate during extubation,the rate of using hypotensive drugs,and the incidence of cough reflex and breath holding were lower in group L than in group C,while the foreign body sensation in pharynx were after extubation was more frequent in group L than in group C. The incidence of pharyngodynia was similar in the two groups,and the pharyngodynia and foreign body sensation in pharynx markedly improved one day after operation in both groups. Conclusion Topical anesthesia of tracheal mucosa using compound lidocaine cream may reduce the cough reflex and breath holding during extubation,and inhibit the stress reaction.

Objective To investigate the correlation of dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) MRI features with microvessel density (MVD) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC).Methods Conventional MR imaging and dynamic contrast-enhanced scan in thirty-three patients with NSCLC confirmed by pathologyn were performed. MVD and VEGF were stained with immuno-histochemical technique in all cases. Some parameters of DCE MRI, including maximum slope(Smax) and time to peak(TTP) were put more analysis. The relationship between the results of DCE MRI (Smax and TTP) and that of immuno-histochemistry (MVD and VEGF) was analysed.Results The Smax of adeno carcinoma was higher than that of squamous cell carcinoma,but TTP was lower. The difference was obvious difference(t=3.22,P

Objective Focal nodular hyperplasia(FNH) is composed of multiple hyperplastic liver cell nodules,but its pathogenesis has not been elucidated. Foci (FAH) or nodules of altered hepatocytes (NAH) are precursors of hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) and carcinoma.This study aimed at identifying FAH and NAH from FNH and evaluating their role in FNH development.Methods 6 FNH lesions from 5 patients and 10 HCA from 9 patients were examined histologically,and expression levels of CD_(34) cytokeratin 19(CKl9) and Ki-67 antigen were demonstrated immunohistochemicailly.Proliferative activity was evaluated by Ki-67 antigen-labeling indices(Ki-67 LI).Results Multiple FAH and NAH were identified in all of the 6 FNH lesions. Whiie micmvasculatures were demonstrated by CD_(34) immunoreactivity in both HCA and FNH,their density and distribution were different in these two lesions,being diffuse in HCA and focal or nodular,mainly within NAH.CKl9 expression Was found in FNH,localized in ductal and ductular cells,but not within NAH and HCA.Average Ki.67 LI of 73 NAH(2.8%) was shown to be higher than that of the whole FNH lesions (0.6%),and had no statistieal difference comparable to that of HCA(1.8%).Conclusion Muhiple NAH are present in all classical FNH lesions.Unlike the surrounding parenchyma,NAH lesions are more proliferative and equipped with CD_(34)-positive microvasculatures as in HCA.
