Continuous blood purification therapy, one of the most popular multiple organ protection and life support technology, has been widely used in the treatment of critical illness.After the initial introduction of the concept of dialytrauma or CRRT trauma in 2012, the related complications are getting more and more attention.The loss of heat caused by CBP may lead to hypothermia.Howev-er, to critically ill patients, controversy still reigns on the influence of this issue.There is no guideline developed through clinical prac-tice to define such issue.This article reviews the methods as well as results of related clinical studies to discuss how to manage the hy-pothermia during CBP.

To investigate the clinical characteristics of hypertension in patients with primary aldosteronism (PA), 112 cases of PA confirmed by pathological examination after operation were studied retrospectively. These included 111 cases of PA with unilateral adrenal adenoma and 1 case of bilateral adrenal adenoma. Incidence of hypertension in patients with PA was 100%. 14 3%, 37 5% and 48 2% of patients were at stage 1, 2 and 3 of hypertension, respectively. No relationship between hypertension and the age or duration of hypertension and the size of tumor. Complications of hypertension were found in 31 3% of patients with PA. Stroke was found in 4 5% patients, 3 6% patients with cerebral hemorrhage and 0 9% patients with cerebral infarction. Coronary artery disease as myocardial infarction was found in 1 8% of patients. Proteinuria and renal insufficiency were found in 22 3% of patients and 2 7% of patients, respectively. Complications of hypertension were independent of the age, duration of hypertension, the size of tumor, or preoperative highest systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. 83 9% of patients had taken antihypertensive drugs before operation, and 46 5% of patients still had persistent hypertension after operation. The results suggested that the incidence of hypertension in patients with PA was extremely high, and the majority of patients were suffering from moderate and severe hypertension. Complications of hypertension were common in patients with PA. Hypertension was difficult to control by using antihypertensive drugs before operation, and still persisted after operation in some of the patients with PA.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI)among the medical students.Methods:A total of 603 undergraduate students were selected from a medical school in Beijing using a stratified-cluster random-sampling strategy,who were assessed by using the Chinese version of PSQI.Then 1 71 subjects were randomly selected to retest about 1 month later,using a variety of psychometric properties to evaluate reliability and validity of the scale. Results:The average of global PSQI scores was 5.38 ±2.34,the overall Cronbach’s αcoefficient of all the scale items was 0.734,the half-split reliability coefficient was 0.655;the test-retest correlation coef-ficient was 0.530 for global PSQI score,and there was no statistically significant difference before and af-ter (P >0.05).As for the construct validity,confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the two factor model (containing sleep efficiency factor and sleep quality factor)was the optimal model (good-ness-of-fit index 0.949,root of the mean square residual 0.083,comparative fit index 0.699),and the factor loading for “hypnotic drug use”was the lowest.Using subjective sleep quality of the students as the criteria,the global PSQI score was statistically different between the criteria-based groups (P <0.001 ).And the area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC)curve which was plotted using the global score of PSQI was 0.908 (95%CI:0.880 -0.936).Conclusion:The Chinese version of PSQI has been verified,having good reliability and validity among the medical students,and is an effec-tive tool to investigate and screen the sleep quality of medical students in China.

To report the clinical, radiological and neuropathological findings of a patient with rheuma-toid meningitis. The patient was a 71-year-old Chinese man with a two-year history of rheumatoid arthritisand no other significant medical history, who presented to our hospital recurrent weakness of his left ex-tremities, dysarthria and a continuous bilateral hand tremor. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and serumexam-inations were normal apart from a mildly raised serum perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic autoantibody(p-ANCA). Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed leptomeningeal enhancementin both fron-tal and parietal lobes, in addition to several old white matter infarcts. Meningeal biopsy showed numerousinfiltrating macrophages and lymphocytes within the leptomeninges. The patient responded clinically andradiologically to corticosteroid and cyclophosphamide therapy. The patient subsequently developed herpeszoster over his left chest as a complication of his immunosuppressive treatment. His cyclophosphamidewas ceased and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy was commenced, with good clinical responseto both the herpes zoster and meningitis. According to the result of the biopsy, aseptic meningitis wasconsidered the MRI results and the patient’s clinical history were given, and a diagnosis of rheumatoidmeningitis was made. The patientwas p-ANCApositive. Although there was no evidence for cerebral vas-culitis on biopsy, it remains a possibility that the patient’s recurrent minor cerebral infarcts visible onMRI were vasculitic in nature.

Objective To invcstigate the effects of Maixiansan on insulin-like growth factor binding protein 7 (IGFBP7) and apoptosis in rats with ulcerative colitis related colorectal cancer.Methods The rat model of ulcerative colitis-related coloreetal cancer was induced by dextran sulfate sodium (DSS) and azoxymethane(AOM). 40 male SD rats [weight (160 ± 10) g] were randomly divided into 4 groups: model, Maixiansan and Meisalazine treatment as well as normal group peritoneally irjected with saline.The expression of IGFBP7 and apoptosis in coloreetal tissue were detected by real-time PCR and TUNEL after 16 weeks. Results The numbers of colorectal cancer in model group( 1.2 ± 0.4 ),in Maixiansan group ( 0.70 ± 0.15 ),in Meisalazine group ( 0.60 ± 0.16 )were higher than in normal control (P ＜ 0.05), but no differences were found among model,Maixiansan and Meisalazine groups(P＞0.05).The apoptosis in colonic mucosa for Meixiansan(8.70±3.47) group and Mesalazine group were enhanced as compared with that in model group( 1.20 ±0.26 vs.0.38±0.11,P＜0.05).The mRNA expression of IGFBP7 in colon for Meixiansan group were higher than those in model group,Meisalazine group,and normal control(50.5 ± 14.0 vs.18.0 ±3.9 and 39.3±11.4,46.4±6.0,P＜0.05). Conclusions Maixiansan may resist the occurrence and development of ulcerative colitis-related colorectal cancer through upregulating IGFBP7 expression of colorectal tissue and promoting apoptosis of tumor cell.

Objective To explore the traditional Chinese and western medication principle of treating epilepsy based on text mining, and provide a reference for clinical use. Methods Based on the literature data of treatment of epilepsy collected in CBM database, we explored the medication principle of both traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine for treating epilepsy by frequency statistical data based on sensitive keywords hierarchical algorithm, retro-read and manually noise reduction. These laws displayed by the frequency of one-dimensional and two-dimensional network diagram. Results Commonly used drugs in western medicine treatment for epilepsy are phenobarbital, phenytoin, valproate, carbamazepine and diazepam. Traditional Chinese medicine commonly used are Angongniuhuang Pill, Qingkailing Injection, Wumei Pill, Tongxinluo Capsule, Compound Danshen Dripping Pill, Xuefuzhuyu Capsule, etc. When traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine are combined used, the most commonly used traditional Chinese medicine are Angongniuhuang Pill, Qingkailing Injection and Compound Danshen Tablet, western medicine are phenobarbital, valproate, carbamazepine and diazepam. Common syndromes are yin deficiency of liver and kidney, deficiency of kidney yin, heart tangled by sputum, deficiency of yin, heart disturbance by sputum and fire. Conclusion Text mining technology can be used for summary of medication principle of treating epilepsy and of epilepsy syndrome, thus provide useful exploration and reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.
