Objective To evaluate the effects of sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine on volume responsiveness in critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure. Methods Ninety?one critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure, aged 20-90 yr, weighing 40-80 kg, requiring sedation with propofol or dexmedetomidine, of Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ scores 12-47, of Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores 1-18, and of NYHA Ⅰ or Ⅱ, were included. The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups using a random number table: propofol group ( n = 45 ) and dexmedetomidine group ( n=46) . Before and after propofol or dexmedetomidine sedation, when Richmond Agitation Sedation Scale score reached -2 or -1 ( BIS value 60-75) ( after sedation) , passive leg?raising (PLR) test was performed to evaluate volume responsiveness. An increase in cardiac index (ΔCI) ≥10% after PLR was considered to be a positive response, whereas ΔCI<10% after PLR was considered to be a negative response. The patients who presented with negative responses before sedation served as negative volume responsiveness subgroups ( N subgroups ) , that was PN subgroup and DN subgroup. Results The positive rates of volume responsiveness were 64% ( 14 cases) and 25% ( 5 cases) in PN and DN subgroups, respectively. The positive rates of volume responsiveness were significantly higher after sedation than before sedation in PN and DN subgroups. Compared with DN subgroup, the positive rates of volume responsiveness were significantly increased after sedation in PN subgroup. Conclusion For the critically ill patients with acute circulatory failure, both propofol and dexmedetomidine sedation can improve volume responsiveness, and propofol provides better efficacy than dexmedetomidine.

Objective To investigate the effect of remote ischemic postconditioning on brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest-resuscitation in rats.Methods Sixty-nine male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =23 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S),asphyxial cardiac arrest-resuscitation group (group CA-CPR),and remote ischemic postconditioning group (group RIPost).The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 1％ pentobarbital 40 mg/kg,intubated and mechanically ventilated.Asphyxia was induced by occlusion of the tracheal tube and resuscitation was started 8 min later.In RIPost group,RIPost was produced by 3 cycles of 15 min occlusion of the right hind femoral artery-15 min release of the right hind femoral artery after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).Neurological deficits were evaluated and scored at 24 h,72 h and 7 days after ROSC.Neuron specific enolase (NSE) concentration in serum was assessed at 48 h after ROSC by ELISA.At 3 days after ROSC,the number of viable neurons in hippocampal CA1 region was recorded (by N issl's staining).Morris water maze test was used to quantify spatial learning and memory deficits after ROSC.Results Compared with group S,the neurological deficit score at each time point and the number of viable neurons in hippocampal CA1 region were significantly decreased,the NSE concentration in serum was increased,the escape lantency was prolonged,and the target quadrant residence time percentage and distance percentage were decreased in CA-CPR and RIPost groups.Compared with group CA-CPR,the neurological deficit score at each time point and the number of viable neurons in hippocampal CA1 region were significantly increased,the NSE concentration in serum was decreased,the escape lantency was shortoned,and the target quadrant residence time percentage and distance percentage were increased in group RIPost.The damage to neurons in hippocampal CA1 region was significantly mitigated in group RIPost as compared with group CA-CPR.Conclusion Remote ischemic postconditioning can reduce brain injury after asphyxial cardiac arrest-resuscitation in rats.

A new, convenient, and rapid method for kinetic measurement of human fibrinolysis was established. The alteration of absorbance (A) in the process of blood coagulation and lyses was automatically scanned and recorded using a UV2000 spectrophotometer connected to a computer. The parameters of human fibrinolysis kinetics were established. Urokinase at 20 U/mL was the optimal concentration used. There was significant difference in fibrinolysis kinetics and plasma plasminogen concentration between 22 normal subjects and 27 patients with acute myeloblastic leukemia (P<0.05 and <0.01 respectively). The coefficience of variation was (5.24+/-1.51)%. This method could also be used to measure the plasma fibrinogen concentration at the same time. It was concluded that this method was stable and was capable of providing dynamic, direct experimental data and multiparemeters for clinicians. It was also valuable in evaluating the anti-and pro-fibrinolytic capcity of patients' plasmas, allowing for monitoring of therapy, choice of drugs and adjustment of drug concentrations.

Objective To detect the characteristics and in vitro cell compatibility of human acellular dermal matrix (ADM) with the improved method.Methods Cell components of healthy human skins were removed by the improved method and the traditional method respectively.The porosity, degradation time in vitro of the ADM prepared by two methods and the cytotoxicity of the material infiltration liquid with the improved method on the adipose derived stem cells were detected.HE staining was used to detect the residual of the cells, the integrity of collagen and cell biocompatibility.Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to detect the pore size.Results Both the two methods could completely remove the cells, and maintain the integrity of the collagen scaffold;The porosity of ADM with the improved method was higher (93.1±1.02)% than that of traditional method (74.27±2.04)% (P<0.05);There was no significant difference in the cytotoxicity and in vitro degradation time between the two kinds of ADM;While pore diameter of the improved method was significantly higher [(181.21±66.9) μm] than that [(102.38±15.63) μm] in dermal reticular surface with the traditonal method (P<0.05).Conclusions There is no obvious cytotoxicity of the ADM with the improved method, and therefore it is more suitable for cell adhesion growth with higher porosity and larger pore size.

Objective To retrospectively compare the image quality and radiation dose for coronary CT angiography obtained with a prospectively gated transverse (PGT) CT technique and a retrospectively gated helical (RGH) CT technique. Methods Coronary CT angiography obtained with 256-slice CT were retrospectively evaluated in 177 patients. The main branches of coronary arteries were divided into 9 segments. The image quality was evaluated with a four-point grading scale. The assessability of coronary artery segment, image quality score and radiation dose for prospective and retrospective CT angiography were compared with student t test. Results The PGT technique was used in 86 patients. The routine RGT technique was used in 91 patients. The percentage of assessable coronary artery segments was 98. 8% (765 of 774)with PGT technique versus 99. 6% (816 of 819) with RGH technique (t = 2. 51, P = 0. 01 ). In patients with heart rates under 75 beats per minute, the image quality of coronary artery branches was similar between PGT and RGH techniques (99. 8% versus 99. 7%, t = 1.90, P > 0. 05 ) . In patients with heart rates above 75 beats per minute, the image quality with RGH technique was better than that with PGT technique (99.0% versus 93. 6%, t = 3.57, P < 0. 05 ). Effective dose with prospective CT angiography was 60. 0% lower than that with retrospective CT angiography [ (4. 4 ± 0. 5 ) vs ( 10. 3 ± 1.5 ) mSv, t = 33.4,P <0. 05 ]. Conclusions Prospective CT angiography can reduce effective radiation dose obviously. The PGT technique offers the similar image quality with RGH technique in patients with heart rates under 75 beats per minute and RGH technique has better image quality in patients with heart rates above 75 beats per minute.
