Objective To investigate the effects of perfluorochemical ( PFC) on in vitro long-term hypothermic heart preservation in rats. Methods Thirty Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group ( Celsior solution), Celsior + O_2 group (Celsior solution plus oxygen) and PFC/Celsior + O_2 group (two-layer method plus oxygen) , with 10 rats in each group. Langendorff model of isolated rat heart was prepared. The isolated heart was preserved at 4 ℃ for 8 h, and hemodynamic parameters, coronary effluent flow, and leakage of creatine kinase ( CK), lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) and aspartate transaminase (AST) were detected after reperfusion. Besides, the myocardial ultrastructure was also observed. Results Compared with control group and Celsior + O_2 group, the left ventricular developed pressure and ± dp/dt in PFC/ Celsior + O_2 group significantly increased ( P < 0.01), while LDH, CK and AST leakage significantly decreased ( P < 0.01). However, there was no significant difference in the above paramters between Celsior + O_2 group and control group (P>0.05). Compared with control group and Celsior + O_2 group, the impairment of myocardial ultrastructure in PFC/ Celsior + O_2 group after hypothermic preservation was alleviated. Conclusion PFC as a supplementation to oxygen in heart preservation solution could enhance myocardial protection during in vitro long-term hypothermic heart preservation in rats via the improvement of energy metabolism.

Objective To establish the swine acute heart failure model for surgical experiment, and evaluate the heart function by continuous cardiac index (CCI). Methods Swine heart failure model was attempted to establish by coronary ligation in six swines. CCI was obtained by Swan-Canz catheters and Vigilance monitor, and hemodynamic, biochemical and ultrasonocardiographic results were utilized to evaluate the changes of heart function. Results Five swines accomplished the experiment. Compared with basic status, there were significant differences in mean arterial pressure (MAP) , pulmonary artery systolic pressure (PASP), mixed venous oxygen saturation ( SVO_2) and CCI for swines with heart failure ( P < 0.05) , there was no significant change in biochemical parameters, while left ventricle ejection fraction ( LVEF) significantly decreased (P<0.05). Conclusion CCI is feasible in monitoring and evaluating heart function of animal model. The swine acute heart failure model established by coronary ligations can meet the needs of surgical experiment in principle.

Objective To evalute the combination of dexmedetomidine and fentanyl in sedation during awake nasotracheal fiberoptic intubation. Methods One hundred and twenty ASAⅠ or Ⅱ patients scheduled to receive general anesthesia were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 40 in each group). Patients in group L received an infusion of 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine,patients in group H received an infusion of 2 μg/kg dexmedeto-midine ,and patients in group DF received an infusion of 1 μ g/kg dexmedetomidine added to 1 μ g/kg fentanyl. Nasotracheal intubation was performed after complete topical anesthesia. HR and MAP were recorded before anes-thesia(baseline,T0),before intubation(T1)and immediately after intubation(T2),respectively. The intubation score(vocal cord movement,coughing and limb movement),fiberoptic intubation score,nasotracheal intubation score and airway obstraction score were assessed in all aptients. On the first post-operative day,recall,adverse events and satisfaction score were also assessed. Results HR and MAP at T1 in three groups were significantly lower than those at T0(P < 0.05,respectively ). HR and MAP at T2 in group L were significantly higher than those in group H and DF(P<0.05,respectively). More incidence of vocal cord closed,severe cough,severe limb movement,heavy grimacing,defensive movement of head and hands after nasotracheal intubation were observed in group L than those in the other two groups. The incidence of airway obstraction and bradycardia in group H were higher than those in group L and DF. Patients in group L had lower postoperative satisfaction scores. Conclusion Adding 1 μg/kg fentanyl to 1 μg/kg dexmedetomidine is a good method for awake nasotracheal fiberoptic intuba-tion,which can prevent the risk of airway obstruction associated with the increase of dexmedetomidine dose,with the achievement of the same favorable sedation.

At present, public health education in colleges and universities has many problems, such as insufficient education and practice for infectious diseases, serious shortage of public health talents, insufficient interdisciplinary integration of public health disciplines, lack of a holistic view of public health, and insufficient flexibility and autonomy of curriculum design in colleges and universities. These problems were closely related to the cultivation of practical ability of public health talents in colleges and universities. The new era puts forward high requirements for the construction of high-level schools of public health and the training of high-level public health talents, presenting both opportunities and challenges. The School of Public Health, Sun Yat-sen University proposed the idea of "combined peacetime and wartime training" to cultivate high-level public health talents who can solve practical problems, and jointly established a demonstration base for high-level public health talents training with Guangzhou Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The core content is “one class, one team, one hospital and one center”. The experimental class of "medical, prevention and management" talents, the Sun Yat-sen University-Guangzhou Volunteer Service Team for Epidemiological Investigation, the Graduate School of Guangzhou CDC, and the Joint Research Center of for Disease Surveillance and Early Warning and Risk Assessment of Sun Yat-sen University-Guangzhou CDC has been established. Virtual simulation experiments and simulation exercises have been conducted. It is an innovated training for high-level public health talents. The linkage between universities and CDCs to promote the development of public health disciplines can provide reference for public health personnel training in universities to cultivate high-level public health talents with the ability to solve practical problems.

OBJECTIVETo explore the mechanisms of malariotherapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients and to identify which stage(s) of HIV infection is suitable for the treatment of malariotherapy.
METHODSTherapeutic acute vivax malaria was induced and terminated after 10 fever episodes in 12 HIV-1-infected subjects: Group 1 (G1) had 5 patients with CD(4) T-cell counts >or=500/ micro l at baseline, Group 2 (G2) had 5 patients with CD4 at 499 - 200/ micro l and Group 3 had 2 patients with CD(4) < 200/ micro l (not included in statistical analysis). Enzyme-Linked-Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to measure plasma levels of cytokines and soluble activation markers. Flow cytometry was used to measure levels of lymphocyte subsets and phenotypes and CD(4) cell apoptosis. Bayer bDNA assay was used to test plasma levels of HIV-1 RNA (viral load). Samples were taken and tested twice before malaria (baselines), three times during malaria and seven times after termination of malaria (at day 10 and 1, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 24 months).
RESULTSLevels of plasma tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), soluble TNF-alpha receptor-2 (sTNF-RII), neopterin (NPT) and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2R) significantly increased during malaria and sharply reduced to baselines post malaria in all groups. Stronger responses of the aforementioned factors were seen in G2 than in G1 during malaria (P = 0.081, 0.001, 0.013, 0.020). CD4 count and percentage; CD(4)/CD(8) ratio and CD(25)(+) and CD(4)(+)CD(25)(+) percentages increased but HLA-DR+ percentage decreased either during or post malaria in G2. Most G2 patients experienced sustained increase but most G1 patients underwent natural history decline of CD(4) counts and percentages during 2-year follow-up. Percentage of apoptotic CD(4) cells decreased post malaria in all groups. G3 patients had weaker immune responses, however, one advanced AIDS patient in this group experienced clinical improvement after malariotherapy. Most of the 12 patients experienced increase of HIV viral load during malaria but the viral load returned to baseline levels 1 - 3 months after cure of malaria and remained near baseline levels for up to two years.
CONCLUSIONSPart of the mechanisms of malariotherapy is to induce high levels of cytokine activities and subsequently the changes of T-lymphocyte subsets and phenotypes in HIV-infected patients. These findings suggest that malariotherapy may treat HIV-1-infected patients whose CD4 baselines are in the range of 500 - 200/ micro l.
