Objective To investigate the protective effects of ulinastatin on the hearts of rats with anoxia-induced cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CA-CPR) and the mechanism of improving cardiac dysfunction .Methods Twenty male Sprague Dawley(SD) rats were randomly divided into three experimental groups :sham operation group (group A ,n= 8 ,only anesthesia , tracheotomy tube and vascular puncture) ,control group(group B ,n= 6 ,normal saline 4 mL · kg -1 injected via vein) ,Ulinastatin treatment group(group C ,n=6 ulinastatin 50 000 U/kg+normal saline 3 mL · kg -1 injected via vein);Factors including mean arte-rial pressure(MAP) ,left ventricular end diastolic pressure(LVEDP) ,the maximum rising and falling rates of left ventricular deep pressure(± LVdp .dt-1max) ,brain natriuretic peptide(BNP) ,cardiac troponin T(cTNT) ,IL-12 and TNF-αwere observed at setting time before and after cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rats .Results Compared with those of the group A and before CA-CPR ,the concentrations of IL-12、cTNT、TNF-α、BNP、and LVEDP increased(P<0 .01)while ± LVdp .dt-1max decreased(P<0 .01) at 6 h after CA-CPR in group B ,C .Compared with those of group B ,the concentrations of IL-12、CTNT、TNF-α、BNP and LVEDP of 6 h after CA-CPR in group C were lower and ± LVdp .dt-1max was higher(P<0 .01) ,The concentrations of MAP of 6 h after CA-CPR in group B was lower Compared with that of group A ,C and before CA-CPR(P<0 .01) .Conclusion Ulinastatin can improve cardiac dysfunction by depressing mediators of inflammation and reducing myocardial injury .

Objective To explore the effect of valium and barbitone in the treatment of convulsion in neonate. Methods 156 children with convul sion were randomly divided into two groups, 77 cases in control group and 78 cases in treatment group. Results The instant and total effective rates of treatment group and control group were companed, respectively. There were significant difference between these two groups.Conclusion Valium and Barbitone is effective in treating neonate with convusion.

The serum level of intravenously dripped phenytoin was deter- mined in rabbits before and in different time intervals of a week after intramuscular injection of diazepam with fluorescence polarization immunoassay and the parameters were calculated on a microcomputer.It was found that in the 12th hour after diazepam injection,the serum level of phenytoin was significantly different from that of the control,and t1/2 of phenytoin was significantly prolonged;the model of pharmacokinetics of phenytoin was changed from one compartment open model to two compartment open model.Yet the AUC and Cl of phenytoin were not markedly altered.

Objective To summarize the experiences in diagnosis and treatment of thymoma in 120 cases. Methods 120 patients with thymoma were operated on, and the diagnosis was confirmed pathologically, from January 1994 to December 2003 in our department. According to Masaoka clinical and pathological classification, 54 cases were stage Ⅰ, 32 were stage Ⅱ, 22 were stage Ⅲ, 12 were stage Ⅳ. In 42 cases there were symptoms of myasthenia gravis. Result Total excision was performed in 112 cases and partial excision in 8 cases. When the tumor was beyond stage Ⅱ, postoperative radiotherapy was given. Recurrence occurred in 5 patients 1-7 years after operation. Conclusions Surgical resection is currently the main therapeutic method for tumor of the thymus. The preferred surgical approach was excision of thymoma and removal of perithymic fat in the anterior mediastinum through a median sternotomy. Thymoma is a potentially malignant disease, and the patients with the tumor beyond stage Ⅰ must undergo postoperative radiotherapy. Local recurrence of the tumor should be surgically excised.

Objective To investigate the correlation between regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2) value and the prognosis of comatose patients in the intensive care unit (ICU).Methods From January 2013 to September 2014, a total of 64 comatose patients admitted in the department of ICU were enrolled.The patients were divided into two groups : consciousness group (n =25) and coma group (n =39).The level of the Glasgow coma scale (GCS), APACHE Ⅱ score and Full Outline of UnResponsiveness score (FOUR) of patients were monitored.The rSO2 was measured by Somanetics INVOS 5100 monitor.Results The differences in levels of FOUR and GCS at admission and GCS at discharge between the two groups were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).In the consciousness group, the levels of GCS、 FOUR and rSO2 were higher compared with the coma group (P ＜ 0.05).ROC curve analysis revealed that the areas under the curve of GCS, FOUR and rSO2 for predicting prognosis were 0.823 (0.718-0.928), 0.820 (0.728-0.912) and 0.924 (0.863-0.985) respectively.Conclusions The rSO2 was useful for estimating the prognosis of comatose patients in general ICU.

Objective To explore the value of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP)in the treatment of chronic pancre-atitis (CP).Methods Thirty patients with CP who underwent ERCP from January 2008 to December 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. Serum amylase levels were determined before and at 24 hours after surgery.The reduction in abdominal pain was dynamically evaluated be-fore and after treatment.A follow -up of patients with steatorrhea and anxiety was performed.Regular reexamination using abdominal ima-ging or ERCP was performed to identify pancreatic lesions and conditions of pancreatic duct stents.Results All patients were successfully treated by ERCP and had pancreatic duct stents placed.The remission rate of abdominal pain reached 83.3% at 72 hours after surgery.One patient was assigned to surgery due to insignificant improvement in symptoms,and the case -fatality rate after surgery was 0.Conclusion ERCP is an effective method in the treatment of CP,which has the advantages of being safe,effective,and minimally invasive.

Objective To evaluate the safety of nasogastric tube feeding and nasojejunal tube feeding in early enteral nutrition treatment of acute pancreatitis.Methods Using key words,subject headings,and citation tracing,we searched literatures reporting randomised controlled trials on early enteral nutrition treatment of acute pancreatitis through nasojejunal tube and nasogastric tube in the following databases:PubMed,Embase,Cochrane library,Wanfang,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),and VIP published since the founding of the databases up to 2016.Meta-analysis was performed with the selected literature.Results Seven randomised controlled trials with 367 patients were included.Meta-analysis showed that the nasogastric tube group was not inferior to the nasojejunal tube group in the incidence of recurrent abdominal pain,gastrointestinal adverse reaction,the total length of hospital stay,and mortality.Conclusion Enteral nutrition via nasogastric tube is safe and well tolerated,may be a safe approach of nutrition treatment for acute pancreatitis.
