Methods An orthosis with ischial support was ordered and tailored according to the condition of the patient's affected lower limb. Adaptive standing and walking training were administered daily. The functional recovery after the assembly of the orthosis was observed. Results The patients' standing and walking ability improved significantly after the training with the ischial weight bearing orthosis. The standing time was significantly longer than without the orthosis, and the walking distance was notably increased. Conclusion An ischial weight bearing orthosis has a significant effect on the recovery of standing and walking capability.

Objective To investigate the effect of endovascular cooling on perioperative brain injury in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm resection.Methods Sixteen Hunt-Hess Ⅱ -Ⅳ patients of both sexes aged 18-64 yr undergoing intracranial aneurysm resection were randomly divided into 2 groups(n = 8 each): mild hypothermia group(group MHT)and nonnothermia group(group NT).A CL-2295AE catheter was placed in the femoral vein after anesthesia induction to perform endovascular cooling.Bladder temperature was reduced to 34 ℃ and maintained for 24 h.The hemodynamic parameters were recorded during and after operation.Coagulantion function and electrolyte levels were determined at 24 h before operation and at 12 and 24 h after operation.The serum neuron-specific enolase(NSE)and S100B concentrations were determined at 1 d before operation and at 1,3and 7 d after operation by ELISA.Neurological function was assessed with GOS grade at 1 and 3 months after operation.Results There was no significant difference in hemodynamic parameters,electrolyte levels(Na+ ,K+ ,Ca2+)and coagulantion function(PT,APTT,Plt)between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05).The GOS grade was significantly higher,while serum NSE and S100B concentrations were significantly lower after operation in group MHT than in group NT(P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Endovascular cooling(34℃,24 h)can reduce the brain injury safely and effectively during the perioperative period in patients undergoing intracranial aneurysm resection and improve the prognosis.

Objective To analyze the timing and frequency of spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a rat model,and evaluate its value bearing some relation to duration of cardiac arrest (CA ) in predicting the severity of post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction.Methods Twenty-seven healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly (random number)divided into 3 groups according to different durations of CA:CA 4 min (n=9),CA 6 min (n=9)and CA 8 min (n=9).CA of rats was electrically induced and untreated for 4,6 or 8 min respectively in the corresponding groups,and then cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)was initiated and continued for 8 min in all animals.The emergence timing and frequency of spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and resuscitation outcomes were documented.Myocardial function such as cardiac output,ejection fraction and Tei index was measured by echocardiography prior to CA and at 1 h,2 h and 4 h post-resuscitation.Results The earliest appearance of gasping with highest frequency was observed in the CA 4 min group during CPR.Gasping appeared later with decreased frequency observed following longer duration of CA.There were statistically significant differences in the timing and frequency of gasping among the 3 groups.In the CA 4 min group with frequent gasping,all animals were successfully resuscitated with 8-min CPR with the least number of defibrillation,which was significantly better than that in the CA 8 min group.During the evaluation of post-resuscitation myocardial function,cardiac output,ejection fraction and myocardial work index (Tei index) were better in the CA 4 min group with frequent gasping,worse in the CA 6 min group and worst in the CA 8 min group, showing statistically significant differences in cardiac function among the 3 groups. Conclusions The spontaneous gasping appeared sooner with higher frequency during cardiopulmonary resuscitation indicated shorter duration of CA,and predicted better success of resuscitation and post-resuscitation myocardial function.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of regional electrocardiographic consultation network for primary medical institutions.Methods A distance electrocardiographic ( ECG ) consultation center was established in Yuyao People′s Hospital in September 2012, which was connected to 56 regional primary medical through internet.The online consultation was provided by ECG specialists in the center for general practitioners in regional primary health care institutions.Additionally, the ECG training course was also conducted monthly for general practitioners.The 2-year data of ECG consultation were retrospectively reviewed and the effectiveness of the consultation network was evaluated.Results During the past two years, 86 593 electrocardiograms were uploaded by primary medical institutions, in which 3 976 were required for consultation. The monthly number of electrocardiograms sent by general practitioners was increased from 3 269 ±290 in the first year to 3 947 ±376 in the second year ( P<0.01 ) .However, the requirements of ECG consultation were not significantly different between two years.Compared to the first year, the rates of consultation requirements, misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis for ECGs of atrial and ventricular premature beats, atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, left and right bundle branch blocks,ⅠandⅡdegree atrioventricular blocks and myocardial infarction were significantly decreased ( all P<0.05) in the second year;meanwhile there was a tendency towards the reduction for ECGs of atrial flutter and Ⅲ degree atrioventricular block in the second year.Conclusion The regional electrocardiographic consultation network is effective to improve the capability of primary medical institutions in electrocardiographic diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of limb ischemic post-conditioning (LIpostC) alone or its combination with therapeutic hypothermia (TH) on systemic inflammatory response and lung injury after cardiac arrest (CA) and resuscitation. Methods Twenty-one healthy male pigs weighing (37±2) kg were randomly divided into 3 groups (n = 7 each): control group, LIpostC group, and LIpostC+TH group. The animal model was established by 10 minutes of untreated CA and then 5 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).Coincident with the start of CPR, LIpostC was induced by four cycles of 5 minutes of limb ischemia followed by 5 minutes of reperfusion in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups. After successful resuscitation, TH was implemented by surface cooling to reach a temperature of 32-34℃ until 4 hours post-resuscitation, followed by a re-warming rate of 1 ℃/h for 4 hours in the LIpostC+TH group. Normal temperature was maintained in the control and LIpostC groups. The resuscitation outcomes in each group were recorded during CPR. At 15 minutes prior to CA (baseline) and during 4 hours post-resuscitation, the level of arterial lactate was measured and PaO2/FiO2 was calculated, and extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) were measured meanwhile by a PiCCO monitor. At 15 minutes prior to CA (baseline) and during 24 hours post-resuscitation, the levels of serum tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Results Six animals in each group were successfully resuscitated. Coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), duration of resuscitation, number of shocks and epinephrine dosage during CPR were not statistically significant among the three groups. The baseline of arterial lactate, PaO2/FiO2, EVLWI, PVPI and cytokines prior to CA were also not statistically significant among the three groups. The levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6 after resuscitation were gradually increased in all the three groups; however, the values of TNF-αand IL-6 were significantly lower in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups than that in the control group, and they were further decreased in the LIpostC+TH group when compared to the LIpostC group [TNF-α (ng/L): 305±22 vs. 343±26 at 4 hours, 350±29 vs. 389±18 at 24 hours; IL-6 (ng/L): 239±14 vs. 263±19 at 24 hours, all P < 0.05]. The levels of lactate reached the peak at 2 hours post-resuscitation and then gradually decreased in all the three groups; it finally returned to the baseline in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups, which was markedly lower than that in the control group (mmol/L: 1.4±0.7, 1.2±0.3 vs. 3.1±1.7, both P < 0.05). During 4 hours post-resuscitation, PaO2/FiO2 was significantly higher and EVLWI and PVPI were markedly lower in the LIpostC and LIpostC+TH groups than that in the control group; additionally, PaO2/FiO2 and EVLWI were further improved in the LIpostC+TH group than the LIpostC group [4-hour PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 391±26 vs. 361±20; 4-hour EVLWI (mL/kg): 10.1±1.5 vs. 12.1±1.2, both P < 0.05]. Conclusion LIpostC can be used to alleviate systemic inflammatory response and lung injury after porcine CA and CPR, and its combination with TH further enhanced its protective effects.

Objective To study the liver histological changes in chronic hepaitits B (CHB) patients with normal serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels and the related factors. Methods Six hundred and thirty-two CHB patients with normal ALT levels had undergone ultrasound guided percutaneous liver biopsies. All specimen were examined by HE staining, collagen fiber Masson staining and immunohistochemical staining for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and hepatitis B core antigen (HBcAg). The Knodell inflammation score and Ishak fibrosis score were both calculated and the relationship with age, serum levels of ALT and hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA, hepatic expressions of HBsAg and HBcAg were analyzed. The means between two groups were compared by t test and those among groups were compared by one-factor analysis of variance and q test. Enumeration data were analyzed by x2 test. Results Among 632 CHB patients with normal ALT levels, 167 (26.4%) showed moderate necrotic inflammation in liver tissues and 26 (4.1%) showed severe necrotic inflammation; 217 (34. 3 % ) showed moderate fibrosis and 52 (8. 2 % ) showed severe fibrosis (cirrhosis). The Knodell inflammation score and Ishak fibrosis score in high ALT group were higher than low ALT group, those in female high ALT group were higher than male high ALT group and those in patients ＞ 40 years old were higher than ≤20 years old (q= 19.63, P＜0. 05). The liver injuries in patients with active HBV replication were more severe than those with undetectable HBV DNA levels (Knodell score, q=3.87, 2.87, 6.34; Ishak score, q=2.64,2. 64,5.54, all P＜0. 05),while there was no significant difference between patients with high levels and low levels of HBV DNA (F= 1.35, P＞0. 05). There was no significant difference between expressions of HBsAg (F= 1.65,0. 73,respectively; both P＞0. 05) and HBcAg in liver tissues and Knodell inflammation score and Ishak fibrosis score (F=0. 17, 1.29, respectively; both P＞0. 05). Conclusions Liver biopsies should be considered in CHB patients with normal ALT levels and detectable HBV DNA levels, especially those ＞ 40 years old and with ALT of (0.75-1.00) × upper limits of normal (ULN).

Objective:To investigate the reversal multidrug resistance effects of curcumin on human colorectal cancer cell lines resistant to oxaliplatin( SW620/OxR) and whether its mechanism was involved in downregulation of STAT3 signaling.Methods: The IC50 value(50%cell growth inhibitory concentrations) of curcumin to SW620/OxR cell lines was obtained by WST-1 reagent,which was one kind of cell proliferation assay.Later experiments included in the experimental group and the control group.In the experimental group,SW620/OxR cell lines were exposed to the previous experiment IC50 concentrations of curcumin plus 2 μmol/L oxaliplatin for 48 h,while in the control group,SW620/OxR cell lines were cultured in medium containing in 2μmol/L oxaliplatin.In the two groups:apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry;the protein expression levels of phosphorylated STAT3(P-STAT3) and P-gp were disclosed by Western blot.Results:The IC50 value of curcumin to SW620/OxR cell lines was 18.9 μmol/L.The apoptosis rate of cells in the control group and the experimental group were respectively ( 5.08 ±1.82 )% and ( 30.69 ±2.94 )%, the apoptosis rate of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( P<0.05 ) .The protein expression levels of phosphorylated STAT3(P-STAT3) and P-gp in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion:Curcumin can reverse drug resistance in colorectal cancer cell lines resistant to oxaliplatin, its effect may be associated with downregulation of STAT3 signaling pathways.
