Objective To study the concentration of adhesion-related cytokines,transforming growth factor (TGF) β1,platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) BB,b-fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in intrauterine fluid and their roles in the intrauterine-adhesion reformation.Methods From August 2009 to February 2010,18 patients with moderate or severe intrauterine adhesions underwent transcervical resection of intrauterine adhesion as study group,in the mean time,20 patients with incomplete septate uterus underwent transcervical resection of septum as control group.The charge of each patient's intrauterine fluid was collected at the time of 3,6,9,12,24,48 and 72 hours,respectively,then the concentration of the three cytokines was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results The concentration of the expression of TGF-β1 in the intrauterine fluid at 3,6,9,12 hours after operation in study group was (3.6±0.9),(10.4±1.1),(7.6±1.2),(7.2±1.3) ng/ml,respectively; PDGF-BB was(2.6±0.6),(3.5 ±0.5),(5.4±1.0),(5.7 ±0.8) ng/ml,respectively; bFGF was(16.9±1.3),(95.8±17.8),(330.9 ± 70.5),(1303.3 ± 117.4) ng/ml,respectively.The expression of TGF-β1 in control group was (3.0 ± 0.6),(7.5 ± 0.6),(5.4 ± 0.6),(4.6 ± 0.8) ng/ml,respectively ; PDGF-BB was (2.5 ± 0.4),(2.6±0.5),(4.7±0.6),(4.4±0.4) ng/ml,respectively; bFGF was (19.1 ±2.4),(82.9±21.8),(249.0 ±54.2),(775.6 ± 178.8) ng/ml,respectively.The concentration of TGF-β1,PDGF-BB and bFGF reached the peak during the time of 3-24 hours,6-48 hours,6-72 hours after surgery,respectively.The concentration of TGF-β1,PDGF-BB and bFGF in study group were significantly higher than that in control group (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Concentration of TGF-β1,PDGF-BB and bFGF was positively associated with area of transcervical resection of intrauterine adhesion,those cytokines might be involved in reformatin of intrauterine-adhesion.

Objective To observe the physiopathologic changes of lung in rats with acute ischemic kidney injury,and to study the roles of cytokine,epithelial sodium channel protein (ENaC) and aquaporin 1 (AQP1) in acute lung injury brought on by acute ischemic kidney injury in rats.Methods A total of 60 healthy male Wistar rats (300-320 g) were randomly (random number) divided into control groups (group A,n =30) and acute kidney injury group (group B,n =30).The model of acute ischemic kidney injury in rats was made by bilateral renal arteiovenous blockage with clamps.Six rats of each group were sacrificed at 0,2,4,6 and 8 hours after modeling.Lung tissue of rats was harvested and stained with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining method,and the pathological changes of lung were observed under microscope.The ratio of wet and dry weight (W/D) of lung was calculated.The levels of protein in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were measured.The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α both in serum and BALF were tested.The concentrations of AQP1 and α-ENaC in lung were measured.Results At six hours after modeling,the pH value of arterial blood of rats in group B began to get lowered compared to group A.There was no difference in partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood between two groups during entire period of experiment (P ＞0.05).Protein level in BALF and W/D of lung increased significantly two hours after modeling in rats of group B (P ＜ 0.05).The histopathological changes of acute lung injury including swollen aleolar epithelium,widened interalveolar septum,edema of alveoli and alveolar interstitium,alveolar neurophil sequestration,erythrocytes and protein in exudates were observed.The levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in serum and in BALF began to increase at two hours after modeling.The levels of AQP1 and α-ENaC of lung in rats with acute kidney injury decreased gradually and were lower than those in rats of group A (P ＜0.05).Conclusions Aleolar epithelial-endothelial barrier function was already compromised at the beginning of AKI,suggesting the acute lung injury was already brought on.The levels of TNF-α,IL-6 in serum and in BALF increased after the occurrence of acute kidney injury.The decreases in lung AQP1 and α-ENaC might contribute to the lung injury caused by early acute kidney injury.

Objective To research a more economical and convenient test way, which uses excimer laser therapeutic apparatus eye-test of Allegretto Wave Eye-Q. Methods In testing, a film of transparent and fit thickness was coved on original test-chip to exam. Results Test paper can be reused and determines clearly of all cases. Conclusion The modified method not only raises efficiency and reduces cost, but also saves test specimen with easy operation.

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.
