Objective To investigate the protective effects of isovolemic hemodilution with 6% hetastarch (HAES) and ligustrazine on myocardium against ischemia/reperfusion injury. Methods Thirty-two healthy male rabbits were anesthetized with 3% pentobarbital 30 mg?kg-1 , tracheotomized and mechanically ventilated. Left femoral artery and vein were cannulated for direct BP monitoring, blood collection and fluid infusion. Chest was opened and myocardial ischemia was produced by temporary ligation of the anterior descending branch of left coronary artery. Myocardial ischemia was confirmed by elevation or depression of S-T segment and /or high T-wave. The animals were randomly divided into 4 equal groups with 8 animals in each group: Ⅰ control group was subjected to 45 min myocardial ischemia followed by 180 min reperfusion without any treatment; Ⅱ hemodilution group in which 9 ml Ⅲ kg-1 blood was removed and blood volume was maintained by simultaneous infusion of equal volume of 6% HAES at 20 min after myocardial ischemia was started; Ⅳ ligustrazine group received ligustrazine injectio 20 mg?kg-1 iv 20 min before and 40 min after myocardial ischemia was started; Ⅱ hemodilution + ligustrazine group in which hemodilution was performed as in group Ⅲ and ligustrazine injectio was given iv as in group Ⅲ . BP and HR were recorded before during and at the end of myocardial ischemia, and at 30, 60, 120, 180 min of reperfusion. Hct was measured before and after hemodilution. Blood samples were taken for determination of plasma CPK and LDH activities before ischemia (T0), at the end of 45 min ischemia (T1) and at the end of 180 min reperfusion (T2 ) . At the end of the experiment, myocardial tissue 0.2 g was obtained from ischemic and non-ischemic area for determination of myocardial CPK and LDH activities and election microscopic examination. Results (1) In all four groups plasma CPK and LDH activities were significantly increased after ischemia (T1 ) and were increased further after reperfusion (T2) (P

1 ? 25-dihydroxy-vitamin D3(1? 25 (OH)2 D3)induced differentiation of human promyelocytic leukaemia cells ( HL-60 ) into mature myeloid cells in vitro. The ratio of nuclei to cytoplasma decreased; Their nucleoli reduced; Cells became irrgular and extended the pseudopods. 1 ? 25 (OH ) 2 D3 caused significant increase of nitroblue tetrazolium ( NBT ) reduction and ?-non-specific acid esterase (?-NAE ) and acid phosphatase (ACP ) activities. These data and morphological characteristics suggest that HL-60 cells were conclusively identified as monocytes/macrophages. The histogram of DNA distribution ahylyzed by flow cytometry demonstrated G0 + G1 phase increased and S phase increased and S phase decreased remarkably after treatment with l?, 25 ( OH ) 2 D3 as compared with untreated cells.

Objective To analyze the effect of cigarette smoking on replantation of amputed digit, investigate the pathologic mechanism of vascular crisis(VC) caused by smoking. Methods 1)The replantation risk factor such as smoking to VC and blood insufficiency of replanted digit was reviewed in 1 685 cases of digit replantation. 2)The complications after digit replantation in short and long terms among patients smoking were compared with those not smoking after operation. The results of management and time of appearance VC was assayed. 3)The possible pathologic mechanism of VC caused by smoking was analyzed. Results 1)A significant correlation between the ratio of VC, blood insufficiency of replanted digit and smoking index(SI, the number of cigarette in a day multiplies the years of smoking) was found. 2)The rate of VC, wound infection and unhealing in short term and the feeling of pain, numbness and cool in the long term in patients smoking after operation (92.6%,55.6%,48.1% and 71.6%) was obviously more than that in non smoking patients(17.8%,9.3%,2.0% and 3.0%,P

Objective To explore target organ damage in the youth with pre-hypertension. Methods 77 consecutive youth visiting our institution form 2008 to 2010 were divided into pre-hypertension group (n=32) and control group (n=45). The relevance of left ventricular mass index (LVMI), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVDd), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT), carotid plaque intima-media thickness (IMT) and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) were compared. Results The blood pressure of pre-hypertension group was higher than that of control group, and the pre-hypertension group followed higher family hypertension history (P<0.05). There was no difference in LVDd, IVST, LVPWT, carotid plaque IMT and GFR between 2 groups (P>0.05). Compared with the control group, LVMI increased (P<0.05) and the E/A ratio decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion Target organ damage in pre-hypertension youth is salient compared with changes in renal function and damage of arteriosclerosis, and heart damage is more often occurred in the obese youth with pre-hypertension.

Objective To analyze the laboratory detection findings in infectious mononucleosis(IM) and mucocutaneous lymphnode syndrome(MCLS)and find the main points of the differential diagnosis and direct the treatment. Methods Five hundreds and twenty-five children were in-patient department over these past 10 years .These patients were divided into 2 groups,IM group (225 patients) and MCLS group(280 patients). EB-virus antibody,Paul-Bunnell test,the circumference blood numeration ,classification of leucocytes,the numeration of atypical lymphocytes were detected and compared,as well as blood platelet of these patients.Results The positive rate of EB-virus antibody in IM and MCLS were high, and had no discrepancy. However, the positive rate of Paul-Bunnell test and numeration of atypical lymphocyte in IM group were significantly higher than those in MCLS group. The total circumference blood leucocyte numeration of the groups increased,but the numeration neutrophil increased significantly in MCLS group, the rising numeration of lymphocyte in IM; the blood platelet numeration was elevated significantly in MCLS group and continued when the total circumference blood leucocyte numeration tended normally.Conclusions The causes of IM and MCLS are related to the infection of EB-virus. The laboratory characteristics of IM and MCLS are different,understanding the main points of the differential diagnosis contributes to the clear diagnose and early treatment.

Objective:To evaluate the seven existing vaginal birth after cesarean (VBAC)screening tools and to identify additional factors that may predict VBAC or failed trial of labor in China.Methods:In the study,53 patients with 1 previous cesarean delivery who then delivered between January 1,2007 and Novenber 31,2014 were recruited.The average age of the patients was (32.1 ±3.5 )years,the average gestational age was (38.0 ±2.3)weeks.There was no significant difference of the successful group and the failed group in the maternal /neonatal mortality and morbidity,also in the incidence of the postpartum hemorrhage and the postpartum infection.The probability of VBAC was calculated for each participant using 7 prediction models created by Weinstein,Flamm,Grobman,Gonen,Troyer,Smith and Torri.The data were analyzed using t test,rank-sum test,and receiver operating curve analysis. Results:44 trial of labor patients had a vaginal birth after cesarean delivery,and the successful rate was 83%.The scores between the successful group and the failed group had significant difference when eva-luated by Weinstein and Grobman scoring models only.After recalculating the successful rate of VBAC in different score levels according to the references,there was significant difference between the rates of dif-ferent score levels when evaluated by the Weinstein model.The successful rates of different score levels were higher compared to the references (<50%)when evaluated by the Troyer (70%),Gonen (60%),Torri (85.7%)models.The area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of Weinstein prediction model (0.746)and Flamm prediction model (0.723)were more than 0.7,and there was no significant difference between the seven models.Conclusion:Among the seven scoring models,the Weinstein model is more applicable to the population of our country,but a new model more applying to Chinese women still needs to be created.

Objective:To investigate the status of mental health and work engagement of clinical nurses, to explore the correlation between them, and to provide scientific basis for improving the mental health and increase work engagement levels of nurses.Methods:From August to September 2018, 1 140 nurses in Taihe Hospital of Shiyan City of Hubei Province · Affiliated Hospital of Hubei University of Medicine were selected as survey objects by convenient sampling method, and the mental health and work engagement of nurses were investigated by Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES-9), correlation analysis was used to explore the relationship between mental health and work engagement, and multiple linear regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of work engagement in clinical nurses.Results:The score of SCL-90 of clinical nurses was 123.01±38.14 and the score of UWES-9 was 3.53±1.40. Correlation analysis showed that the nurse with total scores of mental health and work engagement, vitality, dedication, and concentration were negative correlation( r values were -0.250--0.218, P<0.01). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that age, depression, and paranoia were the influencing factors of clinical nurses work engagement ( t values were 4.682, -3.211, -2.715, P<0.01). Conclusions:The mental health level of nurses is good, and their work engagement level is average. Mental health is closely related to work engagement. Nursing managers should take effective measures to improve the mental health and increase work engagement levels of nurses.
