Objective To examine the clinical factors associated with postoperative outcome in dementia combined with cerebral amyloid angiopathy-related intracerebral hemorrhage (CAA-ICH). Methods The clinical data of 25 surgical patients of dementia combined with CAA-ICH were retrospectively analyzed. The postoperative short-term effects and long-term effects were evaluated at the 30 d and 6 months after operation according to the modified Rankin score (MRS), and the influencing factors were analyzed. Results Among the 25 patients, eusemia was in 6 cases. Age ≥ 75 years, Glasgow coma score (GCS) ≤ 8 scores on admission, hypertension, postoperative anemia, pulmonary diseases, midline shift were the influencing factors of postoperative short-term effects (P < 0.05 or <0.01). Twenty-two patients were followed up for 6 months, and ensemia was in 9 cases. Age≥75 years, GCS ≤ 8 scores on admission, hypertension, postoperative anemia, hypoproteinemia and pulmonary diseases were the influencing factors of postoperative long-term effects (P<0.01 or<0.05). Conclusions Preoperative assessment is important for the patients of dementia combined with CAA-ICH. Age ≥ 75 years, GCS ≤ 8 socres on admission, hypertension, postoperative anemia, pulmonary diseases, midline shift are associated with poor short-term effects; age ≥ 75 years, GCS ≤ 8 scores on admission,hypertension, postoperative anemia, hypoproteinemia and pulmonary diseases are associated with poor long-term effects.

Objective To investigate the differences in the biochemical and pathological features and therapeutic response between the elderly-onset autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) and young-onset AIH.Methods From October 2013 to November 2016,a total of 87 consecutive AIH patients diagnosed by liver biopsy were enrolled and divided into elderly-onset group (≥60 years) and the young-onset group (＜ 60 years).The biochemical and pathological features and therapeutic response of the two groups were compared.Mann Whitney test and chi square test were performed for statistical analysis.Results As AIH diagnosed,the proportion of liver cirrhosis detected by imaging examination of elderly-onset group and the young-onset group were 67.7％(21/31) and 35.7％(20/56),respectively,the former was higher than the latter,and the difference was statistically significant (X2 =8.214,P=0.004).The proportion of patients complicated with extrahepatic autoimmune diseases of the elderly-onset group was 9.7％ (3/31),which was lower than that of the young-onset group (28.6％,16/56),and the difference was statistically significant (X2 =4.173,P=0.041).The median levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and albumin of the elderly-onset group were 50.0 U/L (22.0 U/L,193.0 U/L) and 34.8 g/L (31.3 g/L,40.5 g/L),which were lower than those of the young-onset group (146.0 U/L (43.8 U/L,390.5 U/L),39.4 g/L (35.8 g/L,44.6 g/L),and the differences were statistically significant (Z=-2.109,-2.092;both P＜ 0.05).Between the two groups,there was no statistically significant difference in inflammation grade,fibrosis stage,interface hepatitis,lymphoplasmacytic infiltration,positive rate of hepatocyte rosette pattern,positive rate of centrilobular necrosis and small bile duct injury (all P＞0.05).After treatment,among 17 patients of elderly-onset group,seven patients obtained biochemical remission and the median time to remission was 3.2 months;among 37 patients of young-onset group,18 patients (48.6％) obtained biochemical remission and the median time to remission was 2.3 months.There was no significant difference in the percentage of patients achieved biochemical remission and the median time between the two groups (both P＞0.05).Conclusion The percentage of complicated with extrahepatic autoimmune diseases of elderly-onset group is lower than that of young-onset group,which indicates that age-associated immune dysfunction may involve in the genesis and development of elderly-onset AIH.

Objective:To study the action of Xinnaotong on adhesion molecule expression by cultured endothelial cells and platelets. Methods: Tumor necrosis factor ?(TNF ?) stimulated ICAM I expression on the cell surface was studied with human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC).Thrombin stimulated expression of platelet P selectin was studied with human blood platelets. Adhesion molecule expression was measured by flow cytometry. Results: ICAM I molecule expression on HUVEC was significantly stimulated by TNF ?. The stimulatory effect of TNF ? on HUVEC was inhibited by Xinnaotong(0.25～2g/L) in a concentration dependent manner. The same dose of Xinnaotong can inhibit the p selectin expression on human blood platelets stimulated by thrombin. Conclusion: Xinnaotong inhibites expression of adhesion molecues(ICAM I, p selectin) in HUVEC and in human blood platelets.

A set of central composite design experiments were designed by using four factors which were ethanol amount, ethanol concentration, refrigeration temperature and refrigeration time. The relation between these factors with the target variables of the retention rate of schizandrol A, the soluble solids content, the removal rate of fructose and the removal rate of glucose were analyzed with Bayesian networks, and ethanol amount and ethanol concentration were found as the critical process parameters. Then a network model was built with 2 inputs and 4 outputs using back propagation artificial neural networks which was optimized by genetic algorithms. The R2 and MSE from the training set were 0.983 8 and 0.001 1. The R2 and MSE from the test set were 0.975 9 and 0.001 8. The results showed that network analysis method could be used for modeling of Schisandrae Chinensis Fructus ethanol precipitation process and identify critical operating parameters.

Objective To observe the effects of vaporized perfluorocarbon (PFC) combined with exogenous pulmonary surfactant (PS) inhalation on rabbit models of acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Thirty-two New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: ALI group, combination treatment group, PFC group, and PS group (each groupn = 8 rabbits). The rabbit model of ALI was induced by the whole lung normal saline lavage. After modeling, in the combined group, 3 mL/kg vaporized perfluorooctyl bromide/dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (PFOB/DPPC) emulsion was inhaled, the rabbits in PFC and PS groups were treated with vaporized PFOB emulsion and vaporized DPPC emulsion 3 mL/kg inhalation respectively, and in the ALI group was given the same amount of vaporized normal saline inhalation. In each group, before modeling for 30 minutes (basic value), after modeling for 1 hour and after treatment at 0 minute, 30 minutes, 2 hours, 4 hours, the respiratory rate (RR), oxygenation index (OI), dynamic lung compliance (Cdyn) were observed, and the lung coefficient (LI) and lung permeability index (LPI) were calculated; the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) were measured by double antibody sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); the lung tissue was collected and the lung pathological changes were observed under macroscopic and microscopic observation.Results Aftermodeling, the levels of OI, Cdyn were quickly lowered, RR became significantly elevated, and there were obvious edema, hemorrhage and exudation in lung tissue of ALI group. The levels of OI were significantly increased in combined group and PFC group compared with the level in ALI group after treatment at 0 minute initially [mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 231.0±16.7, 221.4±19.0 vs. 189.5±21.0, both P < 0.05], while the level of OI in PS group was increased significantly until 4 hours after treatment, being higher than that in ALI group (mmHg: 297.0±20.7 vs. 243.3±36.7,P < 0.05); RR was decreased significantly in combined treatment group at 30 minutes after treatment compared with that in ALI group (bpm: 151.1±13.3 vs. 178.5±32.0,P < 0.05), while the RR in PFC group and PS group were not increased significantly until 4 hours after treatment being higher than that in ALI group (bpm: 129.3±14.3, 133.1±13.9 vs. 157.5±32.5, bothP < 0.05). Compared to ALI group, the three treatment groups resulted in significant improvement in Cdyn right at 0 minute (mL/cmH2O: 1.64±0.10, 1.45±0.10, 1.43±0.09 vs. 0.57±0.05, allP < 0.05), their LPI, LI and inflammatory cytokines were significantly decreased [LPI (×10-5): 4.21±0.42, 4.76±0.55, 4.87±0.49 vs. 5.56±0.52, LI: 8.04±0.58, 8.90±0.88, 9.22±0.71 vs. 10.85±0.73, TNF-α (ng/L): 50.05±4.91, 56.18±5.54, 63.60±5.96 vs. 73.60±5.27, IL-1β (ng/L): 34.27±4.55, 40.29±5.03, 48.13±6.38 vs. 54.71±4.26, allP<0.05], and pulmonary edema, congestion and inflammatory cell infiltration were obviously ameliorated (pathological scores: 3.74±0.58, 4.50±0.75, 5.29±0.72 vs. 6.13±0.72, P < 0.05). Cdyn levels were increased significantly in combined treatment group at 0 minute, 30 minutes, 4 hours after treatment compared with thosein PFC and PS group, but there were no significant differences between PFC and PS group. Levels of LI, LPI, inflammatory factors and pathological scores were decreased significantly in combined treatment group compared with those in PFC and PS group, the degrees of improvement of inflammatory factors and pathological scores in PFC group were more obvious than those in PS group (allP < 0.05).Conclusions PFOB combined with DPPC inhalation can provide greater oxygen delivery, reduce the pro-inflammatory cytokines, supplement PS and influence its distribution on the surface of lung, which might lead to a marked and sustained improvement in oxygenation, pulmonary function and amelioration of lung edema and inflammatory reaction in saline lavage induced lung injury of rabbits.
