BACKGROUND:Artificial knee joint replacement in older patients often combines with basic diseases, such as hypertension and diabetes. Perioperative blood loss is an important factor affecting the safety of replacement. OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of the early closure of drainage tube on blood loss after primary total knee arthroplasty. METHODS: We randomly selected 90 patients with osteoarthritis of the knee who underwent primary total knee arthroplasty in the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from January 2014 to July 2015. The patients were randomly divided into three groups (n=30). In the 4-hour occlusion group, the drainage tube was closed for 4 hours in early stage of replacement. In the 2-hour occlusion group, the drainage tube was closed for 2 hours in early stage of replacement. In the control group, the drainage tube was not closed. Because of the use of tourniquet during surgery, the amount of intraoperative blood loss was considered as 0 mL. Drainage blood loss after surgery was recorded. Total blood loss was calculated according to Gross formula through patient height, weight and preoperative and postoperative hematocrit. Hidden blood loss was gotten by subtracting the visible blood loss from total loss. Under the observation of postoperative joint sweling and subcutaneous ecchymosis, knee Hospital for Special Surgery score was recorded at 6 weeks after replacement, and compared among groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Statistical analysis indicated that significant differences in total blood loss and dominant blood loss were detected among the three groups (P < 0.05), indicating that both occlusion for 2 hours and 4 hours could reduce total blood loss and dominant blood loss, but the range of reduction was greater in occlusion for 4 hours. At 6 months after replacement, no significant difference in knee Hospital for Special Surgery score and hidden blood loss was detectable among three groups (P > 0.05). The incidence of joint sweling and subcutaneous ecchymosis was increased in the 4-hour occlusion group (P < 0.05). Above results confirmed that drainage tube occlusion can decrease total blood loss and dominant blood loss after total knee arthroplasty, but cannot reduce hidden blood loss. 2-hour occlusion after total knee arthroplasty is an ideal choice, but the amount of hidden blood loss should be carefuly considered.

Objective:Our aim was to study the levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and pulmonary perfusion imaging in determining of pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH). Methods: We measured ANP levels by using radioimmunoassay after making various types of PAH in rabbits. Catheterization and pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging were used in the control group. Results: When the pulmonary artery pressure increased slightly, the ANP levels were lower in PAH group than that of control group, but the difference was not significant (t=1, P>0.05). At the same time, pressure measured by catheterization did not change as the control group, but the ratio of back/abdomen radiopharmaceuticals distribution which was measured with pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging was significantly higher in PAH group than that of the control (t=2.5, P<0.05). The difference between the ANP levels when the pulmonary artery pressure increased medially and seriously was significant (t=4.0 and 6.5, P<0.05). The other two methods got the same result (P<0.05). Results of three examining methods were positively related. Conclusion:The ANP levels can determine the degree of PAH, and it was simple. But it was not as sensitive as that of pulmonary perfusion tomographic imaging.

Objective To explore the technique of maximum entropy model for extracting Oncomelania hupensis snail habi?tats in Poyang Lake zone. Methods The information of snail habitats and related environment factors collected in Poyang Lake zone were integrated to set up the maximum entropy based species model and generate snail habitats distribution map. Two Land?sat 7 ETM+remote sensing images of both wet and drought seasons in Poyang Lake zone were obtained,where the two indices of modified normalized difference water index(MNDWI)and normalized difference vegetation index(NDVI)were applied to ex?tract snail habitats. The ROC curve,sensitivities and specificities were applied to assess their results. Furthermore,the impor?tance of the variables for snail habitats was analyzed by using Jackknife approach. Results The evaluation results showed that the area under receiver operating characteristic curve(AUC)of testing data by the remote sensing?based method was only 0.56, and the sensitivity and specificity were 0.23 and 0.89 respectively. Nevertheless,those indices above?mentioned of maximum en?tropy model were 0.876,0.89 and 0.74 respectively. The main concentration of snail habitats in Poyang Lake zone covered the northeast part of Yongxiu County,northwest of Yugan County,southwest of Poyang County and middle of Xinjian County,and the elevation was the most important environment variable affecting the distribution of snails,and the next was land surface tem?perature(LST). Conclusions The maximum entropy model is more reliable and accurate than the remote sensing?based meth?od for the sake of extracting snail habitats,which has certain guiding significance for the relevant departments to carry out mea?sures to prevent and control high?risk snail habitats.
