OBJECTIVETo observe the expression of Resistin mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells and its gene polymorphism in coding region in a small range population in Zhejiang Province of China.
METHODSEighty-three cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus and 53 healthy people were included. The expression of Resistin mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was detected by RT-PCR and semi-quantitative PCR assay. The sequencing work was done in Resistin cDNA and gene polymorphism was analyzed.
RESULTSAt the same condition, in 83 diabetes patients, Resistin mRNA was detected in 23 cases (11 males and 12 females). There was no Resistin mRNA expression in 53 healthy people. The ratio of PCR products between Resistin and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) was from 0.564 to 1.238, averaging 0.804+/-0.436. The sequence of Resistin cDNA is almost identical with each other and with that in GenBank with no single nucleotide polymorphism being found.
CONCLUSIONResistin mRNA is expressed in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells in some type 2 diabetes mellitus, but its expression is at a low level. Among the experiment population we did not find polymorphism phenomenon in Resistin coding region. The different individual's Resistin coding region is highly coincident.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical therapeutic effect and side effect of pressure-control ventilation (PCV) on traumatic acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) compared with volume-control ventilation (VCV).
METHODSForty patients with traumatic ARDS were hospitalized in our department from June 1996 to December 2002. Twenty were treated with PCV (PCV group) and 20 with VCV (VCV group). The changes of the peak inflating pressure and the mean pressure of the airway were observed at the very beginning of the mechanical ventilation and the following 12 and 24 hours, respectively. The transcutaneous saturation of oxygen pressure, the pressure of oxygen in artery, the mean blood pressure, the central venous pressure, the heart rate and the incidence of the pressure injury were also monitored before ventilation and 12 hours after ventilation.
RESULTSThe pressure of oxygen in artery, the transcutaneous saturation of oxygen pressure, the heart rate and the respiratory rate in the PCV group were obviously improved after ventilation treatment. The peak inflating pressure, the mean pressure of the airway and the central venous pressure in the PCV group were lower than in the VCV group. The incidence of pressure injury was 0 in the PCV group while 10% in the VCV group.
CONCLUSIONSThe clinical effect of PCV on traumatic ARDS is better and the incidence rate of pressure injury is lower than that of VCV. PCV has minimal effects on the hemodynamics.

OBJECTIVETo study the clinical efficacy of the endobutton in the treatment of acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation by reconstructing coracoclavicular ligaments.
METHODSFrom October 2008 to January 2010,12 patients with acute acromioclavicular joint dislocation were immobilized with the endobutton. All the patients had the dislocations of or above type III according to Rockwood classification. Among the patients, 9 patients were male and 3 patients were female, with an average age of 55 years (ranged from 31 to 83 years). Eight patients had injuries in the left, and 4 patients in the right. Four patients had accompanied injuries of rib fractures, 2 patients had brain injuries,and 1 patient had femoral fracture. Seven patients were injured by traffic accident, 4 patients were injured by falling down,and 1 patient was sports injuries. All the patients had pain and tenderness at the shoulder, positive piano sign, and shoulder confined activity. The duration from injury to operation ranged from 2 days to 10 days (averaged 6 days). The therapeutic effects were evaluated by Karlsson criteria based on range of motion of acromioclavicular joint, subjective feeling,and postoperative X-ray.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 4 months to 19 months (averaged 11 months). The motion of the shoulder joint recovered to normal about 15 to 35 days after operation. There were no displacement, dislocation and redislocation occurred. All the patients got A degree results according to Karlsson criteria.
CONCLUSIONReconstruction of coracoclavicular ligament by using the endobutton to treat acute acromioclavicular dislocation of or above type III is a perfect method with advantage of rigid fixation, micro-injury, and early functional exercise.

PURPOSE: The efficacy of helmet continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) in hypoxemic acute respiratory failure (hARF) remains unclear. The aim of this meta-analysis was to critically review studies that investigated the effect of helmet CPAP on gas exchange, mortality, and intubation rate in comparison with standard oxygen therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) by searching the PubMed, Embase, Cochrane library, OVID, and CBM databases, and the bibliographies of the retrieved articles. Studies that enrolled adults with hARF who were treated with helmet CPAP and measured at least one of the following parameters were included: gas exchange, intubation rate, in-hospital mortality rate. RESULTS: Four studies with 377 subjects met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed. Compared to the standard oxygen therapy, helmet CPAP significantly increased the PaO2/FiO2 [weighted mean difference (WMD)=73.40, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): 43.92 to 102.87, p<0.00001], and decreased the arterial carbon dioxide levels (WMD=-1.92, 95% CI: -3.21 to -0.63, p=0.003), intubation rate [relative risk (RR)=0.21, 95% CI: 0.11 to 0.40, p<0.00001], and in-hospital mortality rate (RR=0.22, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.50, p=0.0004). CONCLUSION: The results of this meta-analysis suggest that helmet CPAP improves oxygenation and reduces mortality and intubation rates in hARF. However, the significant clinical and statistical heterogeneity of the literature implies that large RCTs are needed to determine the role of helmet CPAP in different hypoxemic ARF populations.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the potential usefulness of a multivariable model in predicting the response to immunosuppressive therapy (IST) in patients with aplastic anemia (AA), and its application to the clinical practice.
METHODSPB T cells subpopulation and BM T cells intracellular IFN-gamma and IL-4 were serially analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM) before and during treatment. HLA-DRB1 * 1501 phenotype was analyzed by PCR-SSP. The predictive potentials of different parameter combinations for clinical responsiveness were statistically assessed.
RESULTSIn all evaluated parameters, CD8+ cell intracellular IFN-gamma had the relatively best diagnostic value with sensitivity and specificity of 94.3% and 62.5%, and positive and negative predictive value of 84.6% and 83.3% respectively. Positive CD8+ cell intracellular IFN-gamma plus Tc1/Tc2 < 50 could increase the positive predictive value to 92.3%. A multivariable model consisting of absolute neutrophil count (ANC), BM T cell intracellular IFN-gamma, Tc1/Tc2 ratio and HLA-DRB * 1501 phenotype of the patients was finally established.
CONCLUSIONThe multivariable model is superior to each of the single parameters in terms of predictive power of IST therapeutic outcome, and its higher accuracy and the clinical application make it potentially useful in practice.

OBJECTIVETo observe the difference of androgen and inflammatory cytokines level in atherosclerosis and analyse their relations.
METHODBoth carotid arteries and arteries of lower extremity were subjected to ultrasonic examination by Doppler's method. Those with much atheromatous plaque formation were ranged into case group, and those with normal result formed control group. Total, free testosterone and estradiol were assayed by radioimmunoassay. C reactive protein (CRP) was assayed by nepheloturbidity. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), Interleukin-6 (IL-6), Interleukin-8 (IL-8), Interleukin-10 (IL-10), Interleukin-18 (IL-18), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (sICAM-1) and soluble vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (sVCAM-1) were assayed by ELISA. The mean difference between two groups and the correlation between free testosterone and cytokines were analysed.
RESULTSFree testosterone was (6.337+/-3.371) pg/L in case group and (11.375+/-4.733) pg/L in control group, P<0.01. No differences were found in total testosterone and estradiol. CRP was (27.294+/-10.238) mg/L in case group and (12.843+/-6.318) mg/L in control group, P<0.01. IL-6 was (41.700+/-31.385) pg/L in case group and (25.396+/-20.772) pg/L in control group, P<0.05. IL-8 was (89.249+/-58.357) pg/L in case group and (67.873+/-31.227) pg/L in control group, P<0.05. sICAM-1 was (470.491+/-134.078) pg/L in case group and (368.487+/-97.183) pg/L in control group, P<0.01. sVCAM-1 was (537.808+/-213.172) pg/L in case group and (457.275+/-157.273) pg/L in control group, P<0.05. There were no differences in TNF-alpha, IL-10 and IL-18. Correlation analysis showed that FT (free testosterone) had negative correlation with CRP, IL-6 and sICAM-1. Among them FT had well correlation with CRP, correlation index was -0.678.
CONCLUSIONFree testosterone was in negative correlation with atherosclerosis in old-age male. Free testosterone may have the role of anti-atherosclerosis, and this effect was not achieved by its transformation to estradiol. Low free testosterone level was followed by increased level of inflammatory cytokines. Low free testosterones coexist with inflammation and they both affect the process of atherosclerosis in old-age male.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the discrepancy between pre- and post-transplant diagnosis of end-stage dilated cardiomyopathy, a pre-transplantation diagnosis was compared with the diagnosis made after macroscopic and microscopic examination of the explanted hearts in 40 cardiac transplant recipients who had undergone cardiac transplantation at our institute.
METHODSPre-operation echocardiograms were obtained in all patients and coronary angiogram was obtained in 9 patients who had significant risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD was considered present when there was a 75% reduction in cross-sectional luminal area of >or= 1 major coronary artery. Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC) was diagnosed when ventricular dilation and global reduction in ventricular systolic function were present in the absence of any identifiable cause. IDC patients with an alcohol consumption of > 100 g/day during the last 12 months before the onset of congestive heart failure were classified as having alcoholic cardiomyopathy. The pathological diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy was formulated in the presence of gross/or histological evidence of regional or diffuse transmural fatty or fibrofatty infiltration of the right ventricular free wall.
RESULTSBefore transplantation, 45.0%, 17.5%, 17.5% and 7.5% of patients were classified as IDC, CHD, alcoholic cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Post-transplant CHD diagnosis was made in all patients with a pre-transplant diagnosis of CHD. Post-transplant CHD diagnosis was also established in 4 patients with a pre-transplant diagnosis of IDC, in 4 patients with presumptive alcoholic cardiomyopathy, in 1 patient with hypertensive cardiomyopathy and in 1 patient with a pre-transplant diagnosis of aortic valve disease. Post-transplant arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy diagnosis was made in 6 patients with a pre-transplant diagnosis of IDC or KaShan disease. Post-transplant giant cell myocarditis diagnosis was made in 1 patient with a pre-transplant diagnosis of IDC.
CONCLUSIONPost-transplant CHD diagnosis is significantly higher than that of pre-transplant (42.5% vs. 17.5%, P < 0.05). Part of these patients might benefit from bypass surgery or PCI. Therefore, "in-depth" search for a heart failure cause, especially the coronary angiography examination, should be conducted in all heart transplantation candidates due to heart failure, regardless of their clinical presentation.
