5.Sequential organ failure assessment score in evaluation of the outcome of patients with acute poisoning
Chinese Journal of Emergency Medicine 2008;17(6):591-594
Objective To analyze the status of multiple organ failure in patients with acute poisoning and to investigate the relationship between sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) and prognosis. Method A retrospective review of 76 patients admitted to emergency intensive care unit in the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University for acute poisoning was carried out. Data about heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation, blood gas analysis, rutine blood examination (WBC,platelet,albumin, ALT,total bilirubin, BUN,creatinine, CK, CK-MB, blood glucose), dosage of vascular active agents and mental status were documented at admission and 48 h after admission. SOFAs were counted at admission (SOFA ) and 48 h after admission (SOFA ) and then a comparison was made between survivors and victims. Results There was no significant difference in SOFA between survivors and victims ( P = 0.26) , but significant difference in SOFA48 as well as SOFA was shown between survivors and victims (P < 0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that the SOFA48 of renal and nervous systems were the independent predictors with acute poisoning (P = 0.003 and 0.012 respectively). Spearman correlation analysis implicated that ALT,CK-MB, WBC,base excess (BE) and blood glucose (BG) had correlation with SOFAs48. Conclusions SOFA shows its score eorrellated with the prognosis of poisoning with a-cute poisoning and it is a practical method in eveluating the outcome of patients with acute poisoning.
6.Effects of aerobic exercise training on antihypertension and expressions of VEGF, eNOS of skeletal muscle in spontaneous hypertensive rats.
Chinese Journal of Applied Physiology 2014;30(4):320-324
OBJECTIVETo investigate effects of exercise training on vascular regulators and discuss its antihypertensive mechanism.
METHODSRats were divided into three groups (n = 7): spontaneous hypertensive rats control group (SHR-C), training group (SHR-T) and normotensive wistar-kyoto control group (WKY-C). Aerobic exercise consisted of 10 weeks of swimming training for 5 days/week. Exercise duration was 40 min in the first week, then 50 min in the second week, from the third week to the end of training, duration was maintained at 60 min. After training, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and other biomarkers in soleus were measured by RT-PCR and immunoblotting.
RESULTSVEGF and endothelial NO synthase (eNOS) in SHR-C were lower than that in WKY-C (P < 0.05). Blood pressure in SHR-C and SHR-T were higher than that in WKY-C before training; After training, compared with SHR-C, VEGFR2, eNOS, VEGF and VEGF mRNA increased significantly in SHR-T paralleled with marked decreases in blood pressure and heart rate respectively (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONAerobic exercise training lowered the blood pressure in spontaneous hypertensive rats, and promoted VEGF mRNA level and expressions of VEGF, VEGFR2 and eNOS. The up-regulations of these vascular regulators could benefit angiogenesis and contribute to the antihypertensive effects.

Chinese Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2017;14(2):64-70
Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of ultra-early (< 24 h)and delayed (≥ 24 h ) endovascular embolization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms with systematic review. Methods PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,VIP,Wanfang Data,and China National Knowledge Internet (CNKI)were retrieved according to inclusion,exclusion criteria and retrieval strategies,and the clinical literature of ultra-early and delayed endovascular embolization for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms were obtained. The Review Manager 5. 3 software was used to conduct Meta-analysis for good prognosis rate,postoperative mortality,and postoperative rebleeding rate. Results A total of 10 articles were included,9 of them were retrospective control studies and 1 was prospective control study. A total of 2 021 patients were enrolled,including 970 patients treated with ultra-early treatment;1 051 patients treated with delayed treatment. There was significant difference in the good prognosis rate (OR,2. 67,95% CI 2. 07 -3. 44,P < 0. 01)and the postoperative rebleeding rate (OR,0. 23,95% CI 0. 11 -0. 47)between the ultra - early embolization group and the delayed embolization group (all P < 0. 01). There were no significant difference in the mortality between the two groups (OR,0. 76,95% CI 0. 51 -1. 13,P = 0. 17). The subgroup analysis showed that there were significant differences in the good prognosis rate in the ultra-early group compared with the early group (< 3 d,OR,1. 98,95% CI 1. 33 -2. 95)and the middle and late group (≥3 d,OR,4. 66,95% CI 2. 21 -9. 81,all P < 0. 01). Conclusion Compared with the delayed group, ultra-early embolization of ruptured intracranial aneurysms may improve the good prognosis rate,reduce the rebleeding rate,and not increase the mortality after procedure at the same time. However,more high quality and large sample randomized controlled trials are needed to confirm them.
