Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 1982;0(01):-
The results of early resuscitation of 104 adult patients with BSA more than 50%were studied retrospectively. Although the mean amount of fluid replaced during 48h postburn was similar to the amount calculated with our formula, there existed significant individual differences. Therefore it seems not necessary to set up a rigid fluid replacement plan. To ensure adequate tissue perfusion, the fluid replacement formula might be modified as follows: 2 ml/kg/BSA%, with urinary output 30-40 ml/h, in the first 24h; and 1.5ml/kg/BSA%, with urinary output 40-50ml/h, in the second 24h. It should be emphasized that resuscitation should be started as early as possible,and adequate amount of fluid replacement is especially important during the first 2-3h postburn.There was no obvious relationship between the incidence of visceral complications and the total amount of fluid replaced during the resuscitation. Available data indicated that the amount of fluid calculated on the basis of our formula neither increased the incidence of early pulmonary edema nor influenced its development.As far as prevention of pulmonary edema was concerned, it did not seem justifiable to restrict the amount of resuscitation fluids. It was also noted that fluid therapy alone would not prevent entirely the development of postburn renal insufficiency.

To study the relationship between serum Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA, serum Pre-S1 antigen and HBV DNA marker in 229 patients positive for HbsAg were detected by using ELISA method and compared. It was found that both Pre-S1 antigen and HbeAg were correlated with HBV DNA with the coefficient being 0. 9812 and could be used to reflect the existence or reproduction of HBV DNA well. Although there was statistical correlation between them, their clinical implication was not completely the same. Therefore, a conclusion was drawn that combined detection of Pre-S1 antigen, HBV and HBV DNA in the patients with different kinds of HBV infection was helpful to clinical diagnosis, therapeutic effect evaluation and prognosis judgement.

Objective To investigate the genotype and antifungal susceptibility of AspergiIlus species isolated from clinical settings and environmental sources. Methods Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed to profile the genotypes of 48 Aspergillus fumigatus strains, 59 Aspergillus flavus strains and 30 Aspergillus niger strains isolated from clinical settings and environmental sources. NCCLS M38-A protocol was carried out for antifungal susceptibility testing of these Aspergillus isolates. Results As RAPD analysis showed, the 48 Aspergillus fumigatus strains were classified into 8 genotypes, 59 Aspergillus flavus strains into 12 genotypes, and 30 Aspergillus niger strains into 5 genotypes. A significant difference was observed in the susceptibility to terbinafine among the 8 genotypes of Aspergillus fumigatus (χ2 = 33.092, P <0.01 ) as well as in that to amphotericin B among the 5 genotypes of Aspergillus niger (χ2 = 15.185, P< 0.05).No statistical difference was found in the susceptibility to amphoteriein B, itraconazole, fluconazole or flucytosine among the 8 genotypes of Aspergillus fumigatus or in that to terbinafine, itraconazole, fluconazole or flucytosine among the 5 genotypes of Aspergillus niger. Conclusion There is some difference in the susceptibility to some antifungal agents between different genotypes of Aspergillus fumigatus and Aspergillus niger.

Objective To explore the anti-apoptosis mechanism of serum containing Xin Mai Tong decoction in myocardial cell under oxidative stress.Methods The neonate rat myocardial cell was cultivated and the model of myocardial cell apoptosis was induced with 400 ? mol/L H2O2.The cell viability was determined by MTT method,myocardial cell apoptosis was determined by TUNEL method,and the intra-cellular expression of HSP70,NF-? B and caspase-3 in myocardial cell was determined by immunocytochemistry.Results Administration of 400 ? mol/L H2O2 for 1 hour was harmless to myocardial cell,the expression of HSP70 being slightly increased.However,apoptosis was induced in myocardial cells at the 6 th hour after 400? mol/L H2O2 administration.The serum containing Xin Mai Tong significantly attenuated the decrease of cell viability and apoptosis which was induced by oxidative stress.Increased expression of HSP70 was induced by the serum containing Xin Mai Tong,and the activation of NF-? B and caspase-3 were significantly inhibited.Conclution The serum containing Xin Mai Tong decoction shows a significant inhibitory effect on apoptosis induced by H2O2,and the mechanism may be through increasing protein expression of HSP70,inhibiting the activation of NF-? B and decreasing the expression of caspase-3.
