The important function of the gastrointestinal tract in monitoring and sealing the host intestine from intruders is called the gut barrier.A variety of specific and nonspecific mechanisms are in operation to establish the host barrier,including luminal mechanism,secretion of the digestive enzymes,the epithelial cells together with tight junctions between them and the gut immune system.The pathogenesis of gut barrier dysfuntion is multifactorial.They can lead to the translocation of the intestinal bacteria.Sometimes,even the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome can happen.Nitric oxide,one of the smallest products of the cell,is known to have a very large role in diverse physiologic and pathological processes.Recent study shows its toxic metabolite,peroxynitrite(ONOO~(-)),play a major role in the intestinal mucosal injury.The purpose of this literature review is to provide a better understanding of the mechanism of the protection and injury to the gut barrier function about nitric oxide and peroxynitrite.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness of target intervention in preventing catheter -related bloodstream infection ( CRBSI ) .Methods The targeted monitoring was launched by changing venepuncture site , reinforcing instructions in aseptic insertion technique and hand hygiene supervision ,avoiding femoral access and remo-ving unnecessary catheters ,venous puncture implemented by high qualification anesthesiologist ,then the incidence of CRBSI before and after the project was compared .Results The incidence of CRBSI after the project decreased signif-icantly from 17.97%to 4.32%,the difference was statistically significant (χ2 =40.82,P<0.05).Chi-square test and logistic regression analysis showed that the incidence of infection was increased in patients with catheter for longer than 10 days (χ2 =4.33,P<0.05),the incidence of CRBSI was decreased in patients that central venous puncture implemented by high qualification anesthesiologist (χ2 =9.21,P<0.05),and patients received catheter indwelling into femoral vein had increased incidence of CRBS (χ2 =7.45,P<0.05).Conclusion Indwelling catheter time, unskilled operator ,catheter site are risk factors in patients with CRBSI .In response to these factors ,we should develop interventions to maximize establish a protective barrier , improve the quality of the medical operation , prevent the occurrence of CRBSI more efficiently .

Objective With the increasing of the CT examination, the dose of x-ray has been brought to public attention. For the sake of making the MDCT technology better applied, available optimal technology has to be used to reduce the x-ray dose to the patients. Methods Many optimal technologies were involved in, such as ECG modulation, cardiac bowtie, 3D dose modulation, compact geometry design, electron collector and speed 4D CARE dose. Results The result of the research showed that the dose of scanning x-ray of CT could be decreased sharply by using optimal technologies. The Q2 values was the standard which could well evaluate the quality of the CT′s images and the dose of x-ray. Conclusion The quality of images and the dose of x-ray can′t be separated, which must be quoted together.

Objective:To investigate the effectiveness of heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) measurement in predicting the car-diotoxicity of malignant tumor patients treated with epirubicin-based chemotherapy. Methods:The clinical medical records, including CK-MB and cTnI levels and dynamic electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters before and after each chemotherapy cycle, of 140 patients treated with epirubicin-based chemotherapy were analyzed. Patients were divided into the DC>4.5 ms group and the DC≤4.5 ms group based on the calculated DC values. The CK-MB and cTnI levels and the dynamic ECG parameters of the two groups were compared af-ter two and four cycles of chemotherapy. Results:Patients in the two groups exhibited no statistically significant difference in their rele-vant clinical and pathological data before receiving chemotherapy (P>0.05). However, after four cycles of chemotherapy, the DC≤4.5 ms group showed a significantly greater increase in serum CK-MB and cTnI concentrations over the pre-chemotherapy levels compared with the DC>4.5 ms group. After two and four cycles of chemotherapy, the DC≤4.5 ms group also exhibited a significantly greater in-crease in mean heart rate (beats/min) and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia counts (times/24 h) over the pre-chemotherapy values compared with the DC>4.5 ms group (P<0.05). After four cycles of chemotherapy, 23 cases showed abnormally elevated cTnI levels in the DC≤4.5 ms group. In this group, patients with elevated cTnI level exhibited no statistically significant difference in CK-MB and cTnI concentrations, mean heart rates, and supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmia counts compared with those with nor-mal cTnI level before chemotherapy (P>0.05). However, the DC values of patients with elevated cTnI were significantly lower than those with normal cTnI level (P<0.05). Conclusion:The risk of epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity increased with decrease in DC value. The DC test was shown to be an effective predictor of the risk of epirubicin-induced cardiotoxicity.

Objective To analyze the causes of recurrent hemoptysis after interventional treatment and to provide the reference to improve the interventional radiology technique in dealing with the hemoptysis.Methods From Oct.2000 to Oct.2008,repeated interventional procedure was carried out in 22 patients with recurrent hemoptysis after initial interventional treatment.After the bronchial arterial angiography and collateral branch arterial angiography were performed,embolization of diseased arteries with gelatin sponge particle,PVA particle or microcoil was conducted.Results Of 22 patients,re-canalization of the bronchial arteries was seen in 4,blood supply from additional bronchial artery other than from the already embolized bronchial artery in 3,and blood supply from the collaterals in 15.Technical success of the second interventional treatment was achieved in all the 22 cases.Bleeding ceased immediately after the second interventional treatment and no recurrent hemoptysis occurred during the follow-up period of 3 months to 4 years.Conclusion Complete embolization of all arteries related to the hemoptysis together with actively dealing with the primary disease can effectively improve the successful rate of interventional treatment for the massive hemoptysis.

Objective To assess the value of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization(TACE)via omental artery for hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC).Methods Twenty-seven patients with HCC which was nourished by omental artery underwent TACE.Postoperative clinical manifestations,laboratory tests and imaging findings were observed and compared with the angiographic findings.Results The tumor Was located at the peripheral region of right lobe in 26 patients and at the lower part of segment IV in 1.Thirty-eight omental arteries supplying HCC were observed angiographically.The omental artery in 18 patients was successfully embolized.Hepatic hemostasis was achieved in all patients with ruptured HCC.No severe complication occurred,and tumor recurrence Wag observed in 15 patients postoperatively.Conclusions Omental artery supplying HCC is mostly seen in patients who have undergone multiple TACEs and patients with the focus which is located at the peripheral region of right lobe.TACE via omentai artery is safe and feasible,although the residual rate of the HCC is high.

ObjectiveTo analyze the Envelope (E) gene of type 1,2,3 dengue virus isolated fromGuangzhouin2010, andtoinvestigatetheinfectionsourceandvirusgenotypes.MethodsEighty-five serum samples were collected from 85 patients in acute phase of dengue fever.Dengue virus was cultured and isolated by C6/36 cells.The whole length of E gene was amplified by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and then sequenced.The phylogenetic tree was drawn by neighbor-joining method.The bioinformatics analysis was performed by combining the phylogenetic information and the epidemiologic data.ResultsSix strains of type 1 dengue virus,two strains of type 2 dengue virus and six strains of type 3 dengue virus were isolated from 85 samples.The E gene sequence of these strains was obtained by sequencing.The phylogenetic analysis showed that type 1 and 3 dengue virus belonged to two genotypes (Asian and South Pacific ocean,India subcontinent and Southeast Asia/South Pacific ocean,respectively),and type 2 dengue virus belonged to one genotype (Malaysia/India subcontinent).ConclusionIt's presumed that all strains of type 2 dengue virus are imported,four strains of type 1 dengue virus are imported and four strains of type 3 dengue virus arc imported,the remaining two stains of type 1 and two stains of type 3 dengue virus need mosquito intermediary research further to prove their origins.
