Objective To investigate the correlation between the NADPH oxidase p22phox-A930G polymorphism and hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage in Chinese Han population in Shanghai area.Methods The patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and normal controls were enrolled.The polymerase chain reaction and the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) were used to detect the genotypes and alleles of NADPH oxidase p22phox-A930G.Results A total of 128 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage and 151 healthy controls were enrolled.The levels of systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,glucose,and triacylglycerol,as well as the proportions of smoking and alcohol consumption in patients of the hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage group were significantly higher than those of the control group (all P＜ 0.05).There were significant differences in AA,AG,and GG genotypes (42.2％,44.5％,and 13.3％ vs.63.6％,27.8％,and 8.6％,x2 =12.757,P =0.002) and in A and G allele (64.5％ and 35.5％ vs.77.5％ and 22.5％ ;x2 =8.734,P=0.001) frequencies between the hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage group and the control group.Multivariatelogistic regression analysis showed that systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mm Hg (1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) (odds ratio [OR] 13.952,95％ confidence interval [CI] 7.242-26.879; P ＜ 0.001),apolipoprotein A ≥ 0.99 mmol/L (OR 3.139,95％ CI 1.012-9.733; P =0.048),and AG +GG genotype (OR 2.333,95％ CI 1.253-4.342; P=0.008) were the independent risk factors for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.Conclusions Among the Chinese Han population in Shanghai area,the NADPH oxidase p22phox-A930G polymorphism is an independent risk factor for hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Objective To explore the effect of different arch forms of maxillary models on stress distribution of peri-implant of All-on-4 implants with 3-dimensional finite element, and to provide evidence for the improvement of implant achievement ratio in clinic. Methods 3-dimensional finite element analysis models of Tapered,Square and Ovoid arch form maxillary based on the MBTTM Arch Form Templates were constructed by using Solidworks software.The cortical bone thickness was defined as 2 mm at all points.The implants with 13 mm in length were inserted between the mental foramina.The 2 posterior implants were set at 4 inclination angle,from 0°to 45°.All implants were splinted with superstructure.A 100 N pressure was applied to 2 kinds of loading positions on the superstructure models. The maximum Von-Mises stress on cortical bone around the implants was measured by using Abaqus software.Results The maximum Von-Mises value in maxillary cortical bone with All-on-4 implants in 3 arch forms showed significant differences. In Square model the concentration of stress was advanced with the increasing of implant inclination angle;In Ovoid model, the maximum Von-Mises value was observed at 1 5°in posterior region,and was increased significantly by pasted 15°in anterior region;In Tapered model,the Maximum Von-Mises value was increased greatly at 45°. Conclusion Arch forms have appreciable impact on stress distribution of peri-implant.In Square arch form,the inclination of implant should be avoided;in Ovoid arch form, the inclination angle should be under 15°;in Tapered arch form,the inclination should be under 30°.

Interventional radiology has lot of advantages in dealing with various emergencies. The technique is minimally-invasive,highly-effective and immediately-efficient,moreover,it integrates the diagnosis with the therapy perfectly. Besides,the interventional techniques applied in emergency medicine include not only the vascular interventions,such as embolization,embolectomy,etc,but also the nonvascular interventions,such as tracheal stent implantation,percutaneous vertebroplasty and so forth. However,importance has not been attached to the clinical use of interventional therapy in emergency medicine so far. It is imperative for us to promote the acceptance of interventional therapy in emergency medicine as well as to popularize the technique in clinical practice.

OBJECTIVE To analyze the risk factors of the Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infection(CRBSI) in the intensive care unit(ICU),and to approach effective methods for preventing the CRBSI in ICU.METHODS With the method of objective investigation,all patients in ICU from Jan,2008 to Dec,2008 were studied.The risk factors of CRBSI were investigated.RESULTS 257 patients entered the study.A total of 147 cases suffered from the nosocomial infection(NI).The incidence rate of the NI was 57.2%.Among these,36 cases were dignosised of the CRBSI,and the case-infection rate was 14.07%.The number of CRBSI account for 24.49% of the patients who suffered from the NI.The nosocomial infection rate perday the CRBSI was 16.57‰.It was significantly higher than that of the general wards′.The pathogen detection showed the main pathogen was the G+ bacteria,accounting for 54.04%.Then was the G-bacteria,accounting for 37.84%.The fungus accounted for 8.11%.11 unusual drug resistance bacteria were found(6 ESBLs positive bacteria and 5 MRS bacteria).CONCLUSIONS The incidence of the CRBSI is related to the following reasons: days and the sites of the catheter being placed,the procedure the medical personnel done,the immune function of the patients,and the utilization or unutilization of the high-nutrition drugs through the vein.According to these reasons,strict aseptic technique,reasonable choice of the catheter site,shortening the duration the catheter insertion,and maintaining catheter unobstructed are the keys to prevent the incidence of the CRBSI.

ObjectiveTo assess the effects of short-term (2-7 d) high-dose (80 mg/d) statins in the prevention of contrast-induced nephropathy ( CIN).MethodsWe searched PubMed, Embase,ScienceDirect,Scopus,Ovid andWileyInterScience with the key wordsof “ statins/statin/HMG-CoA reductaseinhibitor” ,“contrast ” and“ nephropathy/nephrosis/nephrotoxicity/kidneyfailure”inall languages from 1996 t0 2010 for RCT that assessed the preventive effect of short-term (2-7 d)high-dose( 80 mg/d) statins on CIN.ResultsFive trials with a total of 1009 patients were identifiedTwo studies were conducted in patients with CKD 3-5 stages ( GFR≤60 ml/min or serum creatinine≥97.2 μmol/L) and the remaining 3 studies were conducted in patients with CKD l and 2 stages.Analysis of the data in patients with CKD 3-5 stages did not reveal a statistically significant difference in CIN incidence between the statins and placebo groups (6.50％vs 7.2％ ).The relative risk ( RR)was 0.89 without evidence of heterogeneity (12 =Oqo,P=O.79).Analysis of the data in patients with CKD I and 2 stages revealed a significantly lower CIN incidence in the statins group( 3.60-/o )than that in the placebo group( 11.9％ ).The RR was 0.28 without evidence of heterogeneity( I2=0%, P =0.87 ). Conclusion Short-termhigh-dosestatins treatment may be benefical in reducing the incidence of CIN in patients with CKD l and 2 stages,while nobenefit has been shown in the patients with CKD 3-5 stages.

Objective To investigate the serum levels of certain vitamins and trace elements in infant and children with pneumonia.Methods Totally 120 pediatric patients with pneumonia who were treated in our hospital were enrolled in the study.Meanwhile,60 age-matched healthy children were randomly selected as the control group.The serum vitamin A level was analyzed using high-performance liquid chromatography.The serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D level was analyzed using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay.The serum zinc,calcium,magnesium,and iron contents were detected using atomic absorption spectrometry.The differences of serum levels of vitamins and trace elements as well as the ratios of vitamins and trace elements deficiency were compared between these two groups.Results The rates of iron,zinc,and vitamin A deficiencies were 35.36％,37.09％,and 46.59％,respectively,in pediatric patients with pneumonia,which were significantly higher than those in the control group ( 18.76％,x2 =4.32; 20.08％,x2 =4.15 ; 25.08％,x2 =5.81 ; all P ＜0.05).There were no significant differences in the rates of calcium,magnesium,and vitamin D deficiencies between these two groups ( all P ＞ 0.05 ).The serum zinc [ ( 16.07 ± 3.56) vs.(23.24 ± 4.05) μmol/L,t =15.82,P ＜ 0.05 ],iron [ ( 19.89 ± 4.79) vs.(25.13 ± 5.07 ) μmol/L,t =6.65,P ＜ 0.05 ],and vitamin A levels [ ( 365.76 ±35.37 ) vs.(451.09 ± 32.16) μg/L,t =2.14,P ＜ 0.05 ] in the pneumonia group were significantly lower than those in the control group.The serum levels of calcium,magnesium,and 25-hydroxy vitamin D showed no significant difference between these two groups ( all P ＞ 0.05 ).Conclusion Zinc,iron,and/or vitamin A deficiencies are common among infant and children with pneumonia.

The lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (Lp-PLA2), a subtype of the phospholipase A2 superfamily, is produced primarily by macrophages and lymphocytes. Lp-PLA2specifically hydrolyzes oxidized phospholipids on oxidized low-density lipoprotein particles,resulting in production of lysophosphatidylcholine and oxidized fatty acids. Lp-PLA2 is expressed in atherosclerotic plaques and in macrophages within a fibrous cap of unstable plaque.Studies haw shown that the plasma Lp-PLA2 activity increases significantly in patients with ischemic stroke, and Lp-PLA2 may become an independent risk factor for predicting ischemic cerebrovascular events. The selective Lp-PLA2 inhibitor can reduce the inflammatory response,enhance the stability of plaques, and inhibit the formation of atherosclerotic plaques, and may become a new class of drugs for preventing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques.
