Objective To investigatethe clinical value of troponin-I(cTnI)in patientswith septic shocka-nd left ventricular diastolic dysfunction. Methods As a retrospective analysis ,38 patients with left ventricular di-astolic dysfunction and septic shock(Sa group),as well as 20 patients with normal cardiac function(Sn group) were enrolled in this study. Moreover ,20 patients with left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and without septic shock were used as control group(Ca group). The ratio of early diastolic mitral inflow velocity to early diastolic mi-tral annulus velocity(E/e′)was measured as the evaluation index of left ventricular diastolicfunction by echocar-diography within 72 hours after admission to ICU. Level of cTnI was detected in all cases and the relationship was evaluated by E/e′. Receiver operating characteristic curve(ROC)was constructed to indicate the predictable value of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock. Results The level of cTnI was significantly elevated in both Sa group and Sn group(P<0.05),while the level of cTnI and E/e′in Sa group were significantly higher than those in Sn group(P < 0.05). cTnI was positively correlated with E/e′(r = 0.367 ,P = 0.004). The area under the curve(AUC)of cTnI was 0.834,with the cut-off value of 0.49 ng/mL(sensibility=77.6,specificity=80.7). Conclusion The level of cTnI was significantly higher in patients with septic shock. cTnI was significantly correlated to left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock. cTnI ≥ 0.49 ng/mL could be an available predictor for left ventricular diastolic dysfunction in patients with septic shock.

Objective To explore an ideal surgical method for mid-low face lifting.Methods In this procedure,the first surgical step was subcutaneous undermining that was performed through the incision along temporal hairline,anteriorear,and mastoideae.It extended distally beyond the furthest skin fold and along the mandibular border or the midline of the neck if nacessary.Then three layers suspension were performed,which included three procedures:first,SMAS was purse string sutured in certain direction;secondly,the malar fat pad was suspended to tow directions backward and upward and anchored in the periosteum of zygoma and SMAS too;lastly,through traction suture of reducing tension step-by-step,lots of the tension was relieved from the incision;at the same time,new retaining ligaments between flap and SMAS were reestablished.And redundant skin was removed in incision at the end of the procedure.Results A total of 22 cases received this operation.16 cases were followed up from 3 months to 24 months after operation.The results of operation were divided into three degrees:excellent,acceptable and poor;and those were evaluated by patients themselves.14 cases obtained excellent result (87.5 %),2 cases regarded that their results were acceptable (12.5 %).The total satisfactory rate was 100 %.None serious complication occurred in those eases except some slight complications,such as local edema,skin numbness and small hematoma which relieved in 3 to 6 months after operation.Scar was inconspicuous.Conclusions This technique can correct the posies of lower tow-third face better,especially for mitigating the nasolabial fold and enhancing the elastic of face skin.Simultaneously,it is an effective,safe and simple technique.

To introduce the application of Stata software to heterogeneity test in meta-analysis.A data set was set up according to the example in the study,and the corresponding commands of the methods in Stata 9 software were applied to test the example.The methods used were Q-test and Ⅰ2statistic attached to the fixed effect model forest plot,H statistic and Galbraith plot.The existence of the heterogeneity among studies could he detected hy Q-test and H statistic and the degree of the heterogeneity could be detected by,Ⅰ2 statistic.The outliers which were the sources of the heterogeneity could be spotted from the Galbraith plot.Heterogeneity test in Meta-analysis can be completed by the four methods in Stata software simply and quickly.H and Ⅰ2 statistics are more robust,and the outliers of the heterogeneity can be clearly seen in the Galbraith plot among the four methods.

Objective To observe the EGFR nuclear translocation in cervical carcinoma cell lines after irradiation and its possible role in radiation tolerance.Methods Western blotting was used to detect the nuclear EGFR and cytoplastic EGFR after irradiation.The effect of Cetuximab on expression of nuclear EGFR and survival fractions were investigated.Results After irradiation,compared with control group,the expression of nuclear EGFR protein increased in irradiated cervical carcinoma cell.Cetuximab inhibited the radiation-induced nuclear EGFR expression with decreased survival fractions.Conclusion Radiation could induce EGFR nuclear translocation in cervical carcinoma cell lines and nuclear EGFR might be correlated with radiation tolerance in Cervical carcinoma cell.

In this study, chemiluminescence technique was employed to compare the effect of tonifilyneedling and ginger-seperated moxibustion on Zusanli in regulating the phagocytosis of the neutrophil in the aged rats. As a result, both methods were proved to be able to elevate the phagocytosis and anti-bacteria effect of the neutrophil, and the later method was found more remarkable. So it concluded that acupuncture and moxibustion are both the effective ways in anti-aging and health-protection.

Lactoferrin (Lf) is one of the food protein belonged to the innate immune system. Apart from its main biological function of binding and transport of iron ions, lactoferrin also has many other functions and properties such as antibacterial, antiviral, antiparasitic, catalytic, anti-cancer, anti-allergic and radioprotecting. Lf is usually used as additives of food and cosmetics. The research of lactoferrin has been increasingly reported, and the application of lactoferrin as a drug carrier has drawn extensive attention over the recent year. In this paper, researches of lactoferrin as drug carriers are classified and summarized in brain targeting, liver tumor targeting, lung tumor targeting and oral delivery systems according to their different characteristics.

Objective To investigate the medical assistance to inpatients from low-income families for solving their difficulties in seeing doctors and affordability.Methods Random sampling was made to five ongoing medical assistance projects in the hospital for statistics and analysis of the data so collected.Results Medical expenses of such inpatients are beyond their affordability.Despite the coverage of their basic medical insurance,the reimbursement rate is too low to alleviate their financial burden.Conclusion A“4-party payment”model is recommended,combining the government support for basic medical insurance,social welfare assistance,philanthropic assistance and that paid by the inpatients.This model is expected to effectively alleviate the financial burden of such inpatients.
