Objective To study the risk factors for cognitive impaurment in obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients with ischemic stroke.Methods Three hundred and twenty-eight OSAHS patients with ischemic stroke were divided into cognitive impairment group (n=158) and cognitive impairment-free group (n=170) according to their MMSE score.The risk factors for their cognitive impairment were analyzed by multivariate logistic regression analysis and stratification analysis respectively.Results The blood glucose and lipid,AHI,LSaO2,infarction size and site,HIF-1 and Ngb level were significantly different between the two groups (P＜0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that blood glucose and lipid,AHI,infarction site and Ngb level were the independent risk factors for cognitive impairment (OR=3.527,95％CI:1.559-7.983,P=0.002;OR=6.413,95 ％CI:2.766-14.865,P=0.000;OR=4.099,95％CI:1.694-9.918,P=0.002;OR=4.484,95％CI:1.950-10.310,P=0.000;OR=3.891,95 ％CI:1.759-8.606,P=0.001).Stratification analysis showed that high HIF-1 and Ngb levels were positively related with cognitive impairment in patients with AHI＞20 times/h,frontotemporal infarction,hyperglycosemia or hypoglycosemia,and dyslipidemia.Conclusion High HIF-1 and Ngb levels are independently related with cognitive impairment in OSAHS patients with ischemic stroke.

Medical ethics is a set of behavioural principles which regularized medical workers' relationships to patients and society and that between themselves under social ethics and the development of medical science.It is an essential constituent of the social ethical system and plays an important role in medical activity.By studying the current situation of the ethics-oriented education on medical students,the author re-analyzed the current state of medical ethics and proposed some creative and feasible methods on improving the quality of medical ethics of the students.

At present, mesenchymal stem cell treatment mainly applies in local and systematic transplantation, gene therapy combining stem cells, as well as tissue engineering. Based on mesenchymal stem cells are easily separated, cultured, have potentials of fast proliferation, easy exogenous gene's induction and expression, and can maintain multi-differentiation potential throughout long-term culture in vitro, and the quite stable genetic background. Mesenchymal stem cells have widely application prospect in tissue engineering of ophthalmology. At present, domestic and foreign researches have had massive evidences that mesenchymal stem cells can differentiate into cornea and retina cells. The application of mesenchymal stem cells in the anterior eye is usually by dint of a kind of carrier, such as amniotic membrane, fibrin gel membrane and so on. Moreover, the temperature sensitive culture dish has made the non-carrier transplantation of ocular surface stem cells. The application of mesenchymal stem cells in the posterior eye mostly concentrates in seeking for the feasible treatment of retinitis pigmentosa. Researches are mature on mesenchymal stem cells as seed cells acting on damaged tissue in ocular repairs and regeneration. But its oncogenicity and the security are waiting for further solving.

Recently,the new term lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation was introduced to describe a specific epiretinal proliferation.Different from conventional epimacular retinal membrane,lamellar hole-associated epiretinal proliferation (LHEP) can be found around the edge of lamellar macular holes and part of full thickness macular holes.It is defined as a thick homogenous layer of yellowish material without any contractive properties on the epiretinal surface with medium reflectivity on optical coherence tomography images.Immunocytochemical analysis showed the presence of glial cells,fibroblasts,hyalocytes and collagen type Ⅱ.Electron microscopy revealed fibroblasts and hyalocytes as predominant cell types,densely packed in cell agglomerations.LHEP is a secondary event in lamellar macular hole formation and may represent a repair process after large and deep retinal defect.Further studies on its clinical features and clinical significance are still required.

Based on the high solubility of azodicarbonamide (ADC) in hot solution and its electrostatic interaction with Nafion film,a new electroanalytical method was developed for the determination of ADC by using Nafion film electrode.The effect of temperature on the solubility of ADC and the mechanism of the reduction reaction of ADC on Nafion film electrode were investigated.Under the experimental conditions such as water bath at a constant temperature of 80 ℃,pH 6.0 and optimal test parameters,the differential pulse voltammetric response was proportional to the concentration of ADC in the range of 0.93-10.5 μg/L,and the detection limit was estimated to 0.58 μg/L.The relative standard deviation was less than 5.86 ％ and the recovery was 95.8％-104.0％ for the determination of the ADC in flour samples.The semicarbazide and nitrofurazone did not interfere with the determination of ADC.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of different doses of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of sepsis. Methods Eighty patients with sepsis from First Center Clinical College of Tianjin Medical University were selected and randomly divided into four groups:the control group,Xuebijing small,middle and large dose groups(each, 20 patients). All patients in the four groups were given Western medicine conventional treatment,whereas in the Xuebijing small,middle and large dose groups,additionally they were intravenously dripped with Xuebijing injection 50 mL, 2 times a day,100 mL,2 times a day and 100 mL,4 times daily respectively. The patients' vital signs,blood routine, interleukin-18(IL-18),procalcitonin(PCT)and C- reactive protein(CRP)were detected before treatment(0 d)and 3,7 and 14 days after Xuebijing injection,28-day and 60-day death rate were observed. Results With prolonged treatment,the body temperature,heart rate(HR),respiratory rate(RR),white blood cell count(WBC),IL-18,PCT, CRP levels were all decreased in each group(all P<0.05),and on 14 days they reached the valley;when compared with middle,small dose Xuebijing groups and control group,in the Xuebijing large dose group they were decreased the most significantly over the same period〔temperature (℃):36.22±0.55 vs. 36.55±0.99, 36.87±1.05, 36.93±1.07,HR(beats/min):82.11±8.99 vs. 93.45±10.02,109.02±11.44,113.13±10.34,RR(breaths/min):15.48±6.45 vs. 17.33±6.94,20.35±7.19,22.34±6.67,WBC(×109/L):5.35±1.37 vs. 8.35±2.98,10.54±3.22, 13.33±4.78,IL-18(ng/L):107.36±55.89 vs. 136.55±80.19,177.78±102.32,193.93±98.07,PCT(μg/L):0.33±0.19 vs. 0.66±0.22,1.62±0.44,2.78±0.34,CRP(mg/L):15.40±1.37 vs. 48.34±8.98,100.45±30.67, 131.92±49.53〕,the differences all being statistically significant(all P<0.05). The 28-day and 60-day death rate in Xuebijing large dose group were significantly lower than those in control group,Xuebijing small,middle dose groups (28-day:25% vs. 40%,40%,45%;60-day:30% vs. 45%,40%,50%). Conclusion The time for onset of therapeutic effect in large dose Xuebijing group is short,and reduce the levels of inflammatory mediators significantly, and improve the prognosis of patients with sepsis,therefore it can be used clinically.

Three widely used methods of sediment toxicity evaluation were introduced in the present paper, including organism toxicity tests, toxicity identification evaluation(TIE) and sediment quality guidelines(SQGs). Compared with the chemical analysis, toxicity tests have an advantage of taking the bioavailability of POPs into account, however, it fails to identify the causative toxicants. TIE, integrating with physicochemical analysis, implicates the specific pollutants in a tiered approach, and by which effective remediation can be designed accordingly. The sediment toxicity can be identified more quickly and appropriately by SQGs than by the former two methods. The differences among the different SQGs constituted by different standards may affect their values for toxicity evaluation. Extensive and reliable SQGs had been acquired to improve their utility. Finally, the combination of chemical analysis, toxicity tests and in situ bioassays will be the trend of sediment toxicity evaluation in the future.
