Objective To investigate the effect of oral fluid resuscitation on circulatory oxygen dynamic parameters in dogs with burn shock.Method Eighteen male Beagle dogs were surgically prepared for the cannulation of carotid cartery and jugular vein,subjected to flame injury 50%total body surface area(TBSA)with fullthick ness 24 hours later,and they then randomly divided into 3 equal groups.The oral fluid resuscitation group (OR group)was intragastrieally injected with infusion of glucose-electrolyte solution(GES)according to parkland formula 0.5h after burn with a dose of 4mL·kg-1·% TBSA-1.Intravenous (IV) GES resuscitation group (VR group)was intravenously injected with infusion of GES as the same dose as OR group,and no-fluid resuscitation (NR)group did not receive any treatment during the first 24 hotrs.In the second 24 hours,all dogs received Ⅳ fluid resuscitation.At the end of 72 hours of injury.the mortality in each group was recorded.The mean arterial arterial pressure(MAP),hematocrit(HCT)and blood lactic acid(LAC)were determined,and blood gas analysis was evaluated for oxygen delivery(DO2),oxygen consumption(VO2)and oxygen uptake(O2ext)before injury and 2,4,8,24,48 and 72 hours after injury.Results Burn injury resulted in a 77.1%decrease in MAP,and a 48.5% increase in HCT and 533.7%increase in LAC in NR group,followed by pngressively lowering of DO2,VO2 and Oext till all animals died with in 24 hours after burn.MAP and HCT levels oftwo resuscitation groups gradually returned to the pre-injury levels within 72 hours after burn,but the LAC levels sill remained significantly higher than the pte-injury levels(P＜0.01).The MAPs of OR group were higher at corresponding intervals within 24 hours post burn than those of NR group(P＜0.01),but they were lower than those of VR group(P＜0.01).The serum LAC in OR group was markedly lowered than that in NR group,but it was higher than that in VR group.Twenty-four hours after burn injury,the DO2 level in OR group showed no significant differences compared with that of the VR group,but the levels of the VO2 and Oext were still much lower than those of VR group (P＜0.01).At the end of 72 hours,3 dogs of NR group died and none of IV group died.Caadusions Oral fluid resuscitation improves oxygen dynamic,alleviates hyperlactacidemia and reduces the mortality of animals with severe burn shock.

Objective ① To investigate the level of the vitamin D endocrine system in peripheral relationships with bone mineral density (BMD) and the disease activity respectively. Methods The level of the 25-hydroxylate vitamin D3 (25OHD3) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25(OH)D3] in plasma from 43 SLE patients and 44 normal controls were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. Vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene expression was determinied by real-time PCR in peripheral blood. BMD measurements in the lumbar spine (L1-4) and left proximal femur (femoral neck) were performed using dual X-ray absorptiometry before treatment. The relationship between the vitamin D endocrine system and the bone mass were studied. We also discussed the relationship between the vitamin D endocrine system and the disease activity. Results The levels of 25OHD3 and 1,25 (OH)2D3 were lower in the initial SLE patients than normal controls (P<0.01, P<0.01). The expressions of VDR gene were significantly increased in initial SLE compared with normal controls (P<0.01). The initial SLE patients had significantly lower BMD values, and higher frequency of osteopenia (35%) at both sites of measurement compared with matched healthy controls (P<0.01). The initial SLE patients were divided into two groups by BMD, abnormal group and normal group. There were no differences in 25OHD3, 1,25 (OH)D3 and VDR gene expression (P0.05). There was no correlation between the vitamin D endocrine system and BMD in initial SLE patients. There was no correlation between the vitamin D endocrine system and the disease activity either. Conclusion Vitamin D endocrine system may play an important role in SLE, but the level of VDR gene is not correlated with BMD and disease activity.

Objective To study the incidence of osteopenia in patients with initial systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE). Investigate the levels of the vitamin D (VitD) endocrine system in peripheral blood of SLE patients and its relation to bone mineral density (BMD). Analyse the relationship between the estrogen receptor (ER) and BMD and evaluate the role of ER in the pathogenesis osteopenia. Methods Serum levels of 25-OH VitD_3 and 1,25-(OH)_2 VitD_3 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The gene expression levels of VitD receptor (VDR) and ER were determined by real-time PCR. BMD measurements in the lumbar spine (L1-L4) and left proximal femur (femoral neck) were performed using dual X-ray absorptiometry before treatment. Results The initial SLE patients had significantly lower BMD values, and higher frequency of bone loss at both sites of measurement compared with normal controls (P < 0. 05). The levels of 25-OH VitD_3 and 1,25-(OH)_2 VitD3 were lower in the initial SLE patients than normal controls(P<0.01 both). There is no difference in the levels of 25-OH VitD_3 and 1,25-(OH)_2 VitD_3 between the osteopenia SLE group and the normal BMD SLE group (P > 0. 05, P > 0. 05). There are no correlations between the Vitd and BMD in initial SLE patients (P>0.05 both). The expressions of VDR gene were significantly increased in the initial SLE patients compared with the normal controls(P<0.01). There was no difference in VDR gene expression between osteopenia SLE group and normal BMD SLE group (P>0.05). The VDR gene expression does not correlate with the bone mass (P>0.05). The levels of ER-β gene expression are higher in the initial SLE group than the normal controls (P<0.01).Conclusions The incipient SLE patients may have lower BMD than expected. SLE patients present abnormal VitD endocrine system and higher ER-β mRNA expression than those in normal controls, but these weren't concerned with osteopenia.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between inositol level and glycolipid metabolism in gravidas with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods:A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 GDM cases undergoing routine examination at Fujian Provincial Maternity and Children's Hospital from November 2018 to August 2019, who were selected as GDM groups. Another 50 women with uncomplicated pregnancies during the same period were selected as the control group. Blood and urine inositol level and serum glycolipid profiles were compared between the two groups, and their association was analyzed. Independent or paired-sample t test, Mann-Whitney test, Chi-square (or Fisher's exact) test, and Pearson correlation test were performed for statistical analysis. Results:The serum inositol concentration and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol in the GDM group were significantly lower [322.1 ng/ml (279.1-364.1 ng/ml) vs 403.8 ng/ml (391.8-425.3 ng/ml), Z=-7.879; 1.8 mmol/L (1.5-2.0 mmol/L) vs 2.0 mmol/L (1.7-2.2 mmol/L), Z=-2.419; both P<0.05], while the concentration of urine inositol, lipoprotein-a (lipo-a), 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h-oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) glucose, fasting insulin, and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) were significantly higher when comparing to the control group [192.2 ng/ml (171.0-219.9 ng/ml) vs 143.8 ng/ml (121.1-158.6 ng/ml), Z=-6.834; 253.2 mg/L (65.0-349.0 mg/L) vs 148.5 mg/L(46.5-159.3 mg/L), Z=-0.187; 5.0 mmol/L (5.1-5.6 mmol/L) vs 4.4 mmol/L (4.2-4.6 mmol/L), Z=-5.547; 10.0 mmol/L (9.1-11.3 mmol/L) vs 7.8 mmol/L (7.0-8.4 mmol/L), Z=-6.987; 8.6 mmol/L(7.6-9.4 mmol/L) and 6.6 mmol/L (5.7-7.1 mmol/L), Z=-7.100; 18.2 mU/L(10.6-25.9 mU/L) vs 11.0 mU/L (6.3-12.7 mU/L), Z=-4.537; 5.4%(4.5%-5.5%) vs 5.1%(4.9%-5.4%), Z=-3.468; all P<0.05]. (2) Serum inositol concentration was negatively correlated with fasting insulin and 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h- OGTT glucose level ( r=-0.386, -0.416, -0.350 and -0.407, respectively); urinary inositol concentration was positively correlated with 0 h-, 1 h-, 2 h-OGTT glucose levels ( r=0.402, 0.389 and 0.429, respectively) (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Serum inositol concentration was decreased, and urinary inositol excretion was increased in women with GDM. Measurement of changes in inositol levels during the second trimester may be helpful to assess the metabolic status of pregnant women.

Objective To investigate the time of spontaneous recovery of atelectasis after removing the acute airway foreign bodies in miniature pigs.Methods Twenty-two miniature pigs were inserted into the occlusion stent in the right lower lobe bronchus by using bronchoscopy.After confirming the formation of atelectasis,the occlusion stent was removed and the imaging changes were observed for 3 weeks continuously.Results Atelectasis was formed within 1 week after the airway occlusion stent implantation in miniature pigs.Pulmonary reexpansion was observed obviously on week 3 after removal of airway occlusion stent (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The spontaneous recovery time of atelectasis,which caused by an acute foreign body airway obstruction within 1 week,may take 3 weeks at least.

Objective To compare the preventive effect on bile duct thermal damage of percutaneous transhepatic cholangial drainage (PTCD) intubation with that of endoscopic nasobiliary drainage (ENBD)intubation,through which cooling liquid is continuously infused,in treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)located close to the hepatic hilum by using percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) therapy.Methods The clinical data of 23 patients with HCC that was located close to the hepatic hilum,who were admitted to authors' hospital during the period from September 2013 to September 2016 to receive PMWA,were retrospectively analyzed.Among the 23 patients,PTCD intubation was employed in 12 and ENBD intubation was adopted in 11,and the cooling tube was placed in the bile duct near the tumor.Through the tube 4℃ cooling saline was rapidly and continuously infused,meanwhile PMWA was carried out under the guidance of B-ultrasound.The occurrence of thermal damage of the bile duct,the cooling technique-related complications,and the recurrence of HCC were compared between PTCD ~oup and ENBD group.Results The mean follow-up time was 20 months (3.0-36.0 months),and no operation-related death occurred in all 23 patients.In each group,postoperative biloma occurred in one patient.No obvious cooling techniquerelated complications were observed in PTCD group,but in ENBD group 4 patients (36.36％) developed cooling technique-related complications,including hemorrhage after incision of duodenal papilla (n=1,9.09％) and acute pancreatitis (n=3,27.27％);the difference in the incidence of cooling technique-related complications between the two groups was statistically significant (P=0.037).No statistically significant differences in local recurrence rate,intrahepatic recurrence rate and mortality existed between the two gro ups(P=1.00,P=0.77 and P=0.61,respectively).Conclusion For the treatment of HCC located close to the hepatic hilum with radical PMWA therapy,continuous infusion of cooling liquid through PTCD intubation or ENBD intubation to prevent the thermal damage of the bile duct is clinically feasible and effective,and PTCD intubation method has less technique-related complications than ENBD intubation method.

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection. Janus kinase/signal transducer and activator of transcription （JAK/STAT） signaling pathway plays a key role in the regulation of inflammatory response， oxidative stress and apoptosis. Some traditional Chinese medicine monomers， such as flavonoids （such as taxifolin）， alkaloids （such as sinomenine）， and stilbenes （such as piceatannol） can exert anti-inflammatory， anti-oxidation， and inhibition of apoptosis by regulating the JAK/ STAT signaling pathway， which is helpful to improve sepsis. Traditional Chinese medicine compounds （such as Zuojinfang） and traditional Chinese medicine injections （such as Astragalus injection， Xuebijing injection） can also inhibit inflammation， protect organ function， and reduce sepsis-related damage by regulating JAK/STAT signaling pathway. Although traditional Chinese medicine has shown great potential in the prevention and treatment of sepsis， the current research mainly focuses on in vitro and animal models， and more relative clinical researches need to be conducted.
