Objeetive To observe the curative effect of ultramicro-dosage heparin (UMDH) combining with low-molecule dextran (LMD) on the D-dimer positive infant with severe pneumonia.Methods sixty-eight infant patienls.whose D-dimer in serum were positive,were randomly divided into two gmaps cutaneous injection for 4 times.Arier the D-dimer in serum became negative,the drug was stpped.In the heparin combining with LMD (HCLMD) group,the UMDH (same dosage as above) was used combining with the LMD.The dosage for LMD was 5 ml/kg once with general-speed intravenous drip and 1-2 times a day,which should be continued until the D-dimer in serum became negative.Results After 2-day's trestment,there was no obvious differences in the negative transfer rate of D-dimer between two groups(P＞0.05).However,after 3-4 day's treatment,the negative transfer rate in HCLMD group was absloutely higher than that in heparin group,there were obvious differences in two groups(P＜0.05).As for the death rate of illness,the death rate in HCLMD group was lower than that in hepari.group,being respectively 5.88% and 17.65%.Conclusion The use of UMDH combining with small-dosage LMD dextran can quickly improve the high condemation situation of blood and reverse the condition of infant patients with severe pneumonia.

Objective To investigate the thermal stability of solid potassium iodate and potassium iodate as additive in the sodium chloride,vitamin E,vitamin C and yellow prussiate.Methods HCR-2 type Differential Thermal Analyzer was used to carried out the differential thermal analysis of the potassium iodate and the potassium iodate in the sodium chloride,vitamin E,vitamin C and the yellow prussiate,and differential thermal curves were obtained and analyzed.Results The decomposition temperature of solid potassium iodate was 525℃ ; when mixed with sodium chloride,potassium iodate was stable below 300 ℃ ; vitamin C was unstable at 170-200 ℃ and underwent chemical changes; iodate and vitamin C underwent oxidation-reduction reaction at 145 to 160 ℃;potassium iodate with vitamin E at 300 ℃ was stable; yellow prussiate at 300 ℃ was stable; iodized salt was stable at cooking temperature below 300 ℃.Conclusions The potassium iodate has good stability below 525 ℃,however,potassium iodate iodized salt in the cooking process is easy to react with vitamin C in vegetables causing iodine losses,so iodized salt should be added just before the dish is done.

To make a systematic analysis on literatures concerning traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) advices in Treatise on Febrile Diseases, and summarize the main connotations of traditional Chinese medicine advices, relevant TCM advices in Treatise on Febrile Diseases were collected, screened, compared, summarized and analyzed according to TCM dosage form preparation methods, TCM administration methods, medication contraindications and nursing after TCM administration. The literatures concerning medications in Treatise on Febrile Diseases were consulted, summarized and compared to standardize medicine advices and facilitate rational clinical application of TCMs. The standard medicine advices were as follows. The boiling water for TCMs shall be tap water and well water. The decoctions that have effects in promoting blood and meridians can be boiled with wine. The decoctions containing toxic components can be boiled with honey. Some TCMs shall be boiled with special methods, e. g. Herba Ephedra that could be boiled before other medicine and skimmed. Japonica rice could be added in decoctions to measure the duration of decoctions. Different dosages were required for different forms (litre, pill, medicine spoon). Administration times, temperature and frequency shall be adjusted according to target positions, functions and stage of illness. As for dietary contraindications during medication, thick porridges are recommended, where foods impacting medicine efficacy are prohibited. Regarding nursing after medication is important to recover physical functions, particularly warm porridges can go with diaphoretic recipes, while thick porridges can go with purgative recipes. And drug efficacies shall be defined by observing urine and excrements, and blood form. In conclusion, Treatise on Febrile Diseases is the first book that discusses TCM advices and records them in details. In this study, new standard medicine advices were proposed to provide important basis for improving clinical advices of TCMs and supports for developing the TCM dispensing technology.

Objective:To construct a nomogram model for spontaneous respiratory arrest prediction in nerocritical patients within 72 hours after brain injury for early identification of potential brain death organ donors.Methods:From October 2017 to May 2019, 127 hospitalized neurocritical patients (including traumatic brain injury and spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage) were prospectively enrolled and the parameters related to brain injury were dynamically recorded. Among them, the data from October 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018 were used for constructing the training set and the data from June 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019 for constructing the validation set. The occurrence of spontaneous respiratory arrest within 72 h after brain injury was regarded as the time interest point and grouping factor. The factors associated with spontaneous respiratory arrest were screened by univariate and multivariate analyses. Then the Nomogarm prediction model was developed and tested in the validation set.Results:Sixty-five patients entered the training set and another 62 cases were enrolled into the validation set. In training set, univariate and multivariate analyses indicated that midline shift ( OR=4.56, 95%CI: 1.87~19.21), absent of ambient cistern ( OR=4.83, 95%CI: 1.35~16.34), cough reflex ( OR=3.82, 95%CI: 1.15~12.42), intraventricular hemorrhage ( OR=3.16, 95%CI: 1.53~14.52) and serum Na + <125 mmol/L ( OR=3.06, 95%CI: 1.53~13.44) were associated with spontaneous respiratory within 72 h. In both sets, the predicted C index of spontaneous respiratory arrest rate within 72 h was 0.81 (95%CI: 0.76~0.85) and 0.80 (95%CI 0.75~0.83) respectively. Further statistical analysis implied that 140, 160 and 170 points were the dangerous dividing points and these three points were 30.1%, 65.6% and 93.4% associated with spontaneous respiratory arrest within 72 h respectively. Conclusions:Nomogram model based upon assessment parameters of brain injury may predict the time of spontaneous respiratory arrest in neurocritical patients. It can be used for early identification of potential brain death organ donors. The results require further external data validation.

Objective To explore the predictive value of serum soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase-1 (sFlt-1) and vascular endothelia growth factor (VEGF) levels in preeclampsia at second trimester. Methods Serum sFlt-1,VEGF concentrations were determined in 172 initial normal pregnant women at 26-28 gestation week.The outcomes of pregnancies were followed.In a cohort of 172 pregnant women, 16 cases of preeclampsia were developed (preeclampsia group),and 156 cases were with no complication (control group).Results The serum levels of sFlt-1 in preeclampsia group (11.4?6.2)?g/L were significantly higher than that in control group(4.5?2.1)?g/L(P＜0.01).The serum levels of sFlt-1 in precelampsia women with the onset before 32 gestation week and fetal growth retardation,(14.0?6.8)?g/L,(14.4?6.7)?g/L were significantly higher than that in women with the onset after 32 gestation week and with no fetal growth retardation (9.0?4.1)?g/L,(8.9?4.0)?g/L,respectively (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the serum levels of VEGF between preeclampsia group and control group.A sFlt-1 cutoff value of 8.75?g/L at 26-28 gestation week yielded a sensitivity of 87.5%,specificity of 97.4%,positive predictive value of 80.0%,negative predictive value of 88.5%,respectively,for subsequent onset of preeclampsia.Conclusion Maternal serum sFlt-1 concentration at second trimester can be used as an early predictive marker of preeclampsia.
