Objective To investigate the value of serum thyroglobulin (Tg) and antithyroglobulin antibody (TgAb) in differentiated thyroid carcinoma complicated with Hashimoto's thyroiditis after thyroid ablation.Methods Serum Tg and TgAb levels and the status of illness in 154 differentiated thyroid carcinoma patients with coexistent Hashimoto's thyroiditis and confirmed pathology after surgery followed by remnant ablation were performed during three years follow up.Tg and TgAb levels were assessed by chemiluminescent immunoassay assay.The cases were divided into three groups (according to the level of Tg):Tg ≤ 1 μg/L group,1 μg/L＜Tg ≤ 10 μg/L group and 10 μg/L＜Tg≤ 100 μg/L group.TgAb＞40 kIU/L was considered as positive,Cox's proportional hazard model was used to analyse prognostic value in different levels of Tg and TgAb for disease-free survival and recurrence.Results Compared with 1 μg/L＜Tg≤ 10 μg/L group and 10 μg/L＜Tg≤ 100 μg/L group,the relative risk in reflecting cancer recurrence (TgAb＞40 kIU/L) in Tg ≤ 1 μg/L group was 27.000 (95 ％ CI 6.727-108.374).The value of TgAb＞40 kIU/L in Tg≤ 1 μg/L group was greatly increased and highly correlated with metastasis.However,In the condition of Tg＞ 1 μg/L,the disease will be based on the level of TgAb.Conclusion The value of TgAb＞40 kIU/L in Tg ≤ 1 μg/L group seems to be the optimal cutoff value correlated with recurrence and metastasis of differentiated thyroid carcinoma.

Objective To describe the patients′satisfaction with multimodal analgesia management after total knee arthroplasty. Methods 110 patients with total knee arthroplasty selected from February 2013 to February 2014 were recruited to complete a questionnaire, which was composed of the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) , the Houston Pain Outcome Instrument (HPOI), and the Scale of Perceptions of Patients′Pain. Results VAS scores at different times were ranged from (2.14±1.21) points to (1.19±0.62) points, mean rating for general satisfaction with pain management was 80.04% (136.06/170.00), satisfaction with education on pain control was only 63.20% (37.92/60.00). Patients with different age and educational level of satisfaction with pain control had significant differences (P<0.05). Patients who thought relieving pain was harmful was 56.4% (62/110), the patients who did not understand the impact of pain on the body was 62.7% (69/110), the patients who did not understand the common methods of analgesia was 59.1%(65/110), the patients who did not understand the adverse reactions of pain measures was 63.6% (70/110). Conclusions Patients′satisfaction with the analgesic effect of multimodal analgesia is higher after total knee arthroplasty, while satisfaction with education on pain control was lower. Nurses should strengthen health education to patients with total knee arthroplasty about knowledgement of multimodal analgesia.

AIM: The 6-minute walk test (6MWT) has been acknowledged as a simple and feasible study method of evaluating cardiorespiratory function, motor ability and quality of life in all testees. This study was designed to evaluate the value of 6MWT in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). METHODS: ①Fifty patients diagnosed with COPD were enrolled from Department of Respiratory Medicine in the Second Clinical Medical College of Jinan University from January 2001 to December 2006, including 34 males and 16 females, with a mean age of (70.1?8.9) years; and 62 patients with other diseases admitted in Department of Respiratory Medicine were taken as controls, including 30 males and 32 females, with a mean age of (66.5?10.1) years. Informed consents were obtained from all testees.②All patients were tested with 6MWT, lung function and MRC dyspnea scale, and the results were conducted for t test, ROC curve analysis, linear correlation analysis and multiple stepwise regression analysis. Pearson correlation coefficient was also calculated. RESULTS: All the testees were involved in the result analysis.①6MWT results: Compared with control group, the degression fraction of blood oxygen saturation was significantly higher and 6-minute walk distance was significantly shorter in the COPD patients (P

Objective: The fibrogenicity of fur dust was studied in rat lung tissues. Methods: Intratracheal instillation of fur dust, morphologic examination of lungs and analysis of collagen content were performed in Wistar rats. Results: Morphologic examination revealed that the earliest changes consisted of alveolar edema, increased numbers of intraalveolar macrophages, and marked thickening of interalveolar septa with mixed cellular infiltrate. After sixth months, there was moderate thickening of the alveolar walls and the peribronchioli. After 12 months, interstitial positive fibrosis of the alveolar wall and the peribronchioli were weakly seen. In the carding dust group (silica content 17.6%), interstitial nodules were observed composed of fibroblasts, reticular fibers, and collagen fibers. Electron microscopic examination also showed that alveolar walls became thickened and collagen fiber bundles were seen around bronchioles and small vessels in the carding groups after 12 months. At all stages of analysis, the collagen content in lungs of the fur dust groups was significantly higher than that of the control group. Conclusions: Our study suggested that fur dust might induce weak interstitial fibrosis in the lung.

Objective To investigate the expression of tissue factor and explore its clinical significances in pulmonary artery after acute pulmonary thromboembolism.Methods Thirty-four Japanese white rabbits (Level Ⅱ animals) were randomly (random number) assigned into four groups:group A (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 3 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8),group B (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 8 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8),group C (specimen of pulmonary artery was taken 24 hours after pulmonary embolism,n =8) and control group (pseudo-operations were carried out without injecting autologous blood clots,n =10).The animal model of pulmonary thromboembolism was established by injecting autologous blood clots into jugular vein through a 5F catheter and confirmed by digital subtraction angiography.The mRNA expression of TF in different parts of pulmonary artery was assayed by RT-PCR.The q test was utilized if there was a significant difference in a given continuous variable among three groups analyzed by ANOVA.Results The TF expression in the specimen adjacentto emboli was stable at 3 h,8 h or 24 hours after embolism.The mRNA expression of TF at 3 h and 8 h after embolism was lower in specimen taken from distal-end of morbid pulmonary artery than those adjacent to emboli.While at 24 hours after embolism,there were similar mRNA expressions in specimen either adjacent or distal to emboli.Conclusions The high expression of tissue factor in pulmonary artery tissue adjacent to emboli could lead to locally increased coagulation activity,indicating the necessity of initiating anti-coagulation treatment as soon as possible after acute pulmonary embolism.

BACKGROUND:Neural stem cel transplantation provides an important way to treat sequela of traumatic brain injury, but the timing for treatment is inconclusive.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical effect of neural stem cel transplantation in the treatment of sequela of traumatic brain injury and the choice of the best treatment time.
METHODS: Totaly 178 patients with sequela of traumatic brain injury who underwent neural stem cel transplantation were divided into three groups as per the timing for neural stem cel transplantation: group A (with 6 months after injury,n=60), group B (6-12 months after injury,n=59), and group C (over 12 months after injury,n=59). Improvement in clinical symptoms and scores on function independent measure (FIM) were recorded and compared in the three groups.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The total effective rate of group A was significantly higher than that in groups B and C (P < 0.05). FIM scores were significantly improved in the three groups after cel transplantation (P < 0.05). At 3 months after the fourth transplantation, the FIM score in the group A was significantly higher than that in the other two groups, and the incidence of adverse reactions in the group A was significantly lower than that in the other two groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that neural stem cel transplantation at different timing can al harvest certain clinical effects, but the best timing for neural stem cel transplantation is within 6 months after injury.
