The present situation of automated external defibrillator in inferior troops is analyzed.The shortcomings of current equipment are explained from both the troop itself and outer objective conditions from the aspects including false operation,low efficiency,use limited,etc.The potential prospects are given for the application of automated external defibrillator in inferior troops the inferior troops bring in the automated erternal defibrillator,not only the technical personnel,but also the sergent can operate it,making the warking more effectively.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):72-73]

Objective To investigate the techniques of electrical defibrillation and their application to cardiopulmonary re-suscitation(CPR).Methods On the basis of reviewing the definition of electrical defibrillation,the main defibrillation tech-niques and their developments were introduced,as well as the selection of shock energy.The role that defibrillation played during CPR was defined according to the consensus.Results As an unfashionable technique,monophasic waveforms was inclined to be replaced by present biphasic waveform including biphasic truncated exponential(BTE) waveform and recti-linear biphasic waveform(RBW).The selected shock energy varied with the waveform that a defibrillator made use of,i.e.a monophasic defibrillator required a higher energy level as usual,whereas a biphasic one did not.It was deemed that biphasic technique presented an excellence in less damage to heart in addition to higher rate of successful defibrillation.In the critical care for sudden cardiac arrest with a shockable rhythm,the protocol of "1 shock + 5 cycles of CPR" should be recommended.Conclusion Electrical defibrillation techniques consist mainly of monophasic waveform and biphasic wave-form,between which the latter gains an advantage over the former.On the grounds of modern emergency medicine,defib-rillation has to be performed in combination with CPR.

Objective To research the applicable ways on training and examination of defibrillator utilization in grassroots units. Methods The use of the "three-step training and two-part examination" mode, that is, three-step training(theoretical instruction, grouped practice and animal experiment), a total of 83 medical officers from inferior troops of PLA were trained for the use of defibrillators, and through passing two-part test(written test and skill test), the trainees were subsequently examined so that the efficacy of the training could be evaluated. Results The trainees can be acquired satisfying achievement in the two-part test after having passed the three-step training. The respectively average scores were 86.7 ?15.9 (written test) and 90.1?14.8 (skill test). Conclusion The "three-step training and two-part test" mode is a successful defib- rillators' training mode for inferior troops.

Objective To investigate the expression difference of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)between lung cancer and lung benign disease,and its relation to clinical characteristics and prognosis of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC),and to research the possible role of VEGF in the growth of lung can- cer.Methods The expression of VEGF and microvascular density(MVD)were detected in 60 lung cancer tissues and 30 lung benign disease tissues after operation by immunohistochemical method and put up statisti- cal analysis.Results The positive rate of VEGF expression(63%)and MVD(45.13?10.27)in lung cancer tissues were both higher than those in lung benign disease tissues(27%,33?6.49)(P

Objective To observe the effects of interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) induced acute epilepsy and the dynamic expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) in hippocampus. To explore the role of IL-1β in the pathogenesis of epilepsy by regulating AQP4. Methods All rats were randomly divided into control group, IL-1β group, PTZ group, IL-1ra + PTZ group and dexamethasone + PTZ group. Observe the behavior of the rats within 60 minutes after injection and record seizure score in each group. Then immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR were used to detect the expression of AQP4 at at 6 , 12, 24 and 36 h. Results Almost of rats in IL-1β group and PTZ group showed severe degree seizure. The rats in control group and dexamethasone + PTZ group showed no obvious seizure. The seizure of rats were more remarkable serious in PTZ group than that in the IL-1ra + pentylenetetrazole group (P < 0.05). Immunohistochemistry and RT-qPCR Show: the expression of AQP4 in hippocampus in PTZ group increased gradually after 12 h (P < 0.05), then reached in the peak after 24 h (P < 0.001). The expression of AQP4 in IL-1ra + PTZ group was lower compare with PTZ group in each time (P < 0.05). Although the expression of AQP4 in dexamethasone + PTZ group higher than the control group, it was not significantly different (P < 0.05). Conclusion The proinflammatory cytokine IL-1β break the balance of water in brain and increasing the concentration of extracellular excitatory amino acids or ions by upregulate the expression of AQP4 in order to promote the excitatory of neurons.

Raw264.7 cells were incubated with receptor activator of NF-kappa B ligand (RANKL) and α-melanocyte stimulating hormone(α-MSH) for6 d.The amount of osteoclast cells were counted by tartrate resistant acid phosphatase staining and the acid phosphatase activity was assayed.The expressions of 5 melanocortin receptors (MCR) in Raw264.7 cells were determined by RT-PCR.The results showed that the number of osteoclasts in RANKL +α-MSH group was significantly increased compared with RANKL group (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no osteoclast formation in α-MSH group.Compared with control group and α-MSH group,the acid phosphatase activities were significantly increased in RANKL group and α-MSH+RANKL group (P＜0.05).All five MCRs were expressed in the Raw264.7 cells shown by RT-PCR.These results suggest that α-MSH may promote osteoclasts formation through RANK signaling pathway.

To prepare ginseng saponin Compound K with ultrasound-assisted total zymolytic ginseng saponins. The conversion rate was taken as the index to detect the pre-treatment factors such as ultrasonic power and ultrasonic time, as well as the impact of enzymatic factors, such as pH value, temperature, concentration of substrate, dosage of enzyme and reaction time, on the conversion rate. The response surface method was used to optimize the preparation conditions. The enzymolytic products were identified with MS, 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. The results showed that the optimum conditions of the ultrasound-assisted enzymolysis were 250 W for ultrasonic power, 15 min for ultrasonic time, 5.5 for enzymolytic pH, 50 degrees C for enzymolytic temperature, 36 h for enzymolytic time, 4:5 for enzymolytic dosage: substrate and 1.0 g x L(-1) for concentration of substrate. The relative molecular mass of reaction products was 622.4. Therefore, the nuclear magnetic map verified that the reaction product was rare ginseng saponin Compound K. Under the above conditions, based on the total zymolytic ginseng saponins, the conversion rate of rare ginseng saponin Compound K was 6.91% in proportion to the total of ginsenosides. The process features gentle reaction conditions, high conversion rate and simple and reliable process, which is suitable for industrial production.

The stems and branches of Hypericum petiolulatum were extracted by alcohol and liquid-liquid extraction. Seven furofuran lignans were isolated from the ethyl acetate fraction of ethanol extract of H. petiolulatum by using silica gelchromatography, Sephadex LH-20 chromatography, medium-pressure liquid chromatography and preparative HPLC. Their structures were identified by the spectroscopic methods as pinoresinol (1), medioresinol (2), 8-acetoxypinoresinol (3), epipinoresinol (4), (+)-syringaresinol (5), (+)-1-hydroxysyringaresinol (6) and erythro-buddlenolE (7). All the isolates were firstly found in H. petiolulatum.
