Objective To determine the risk factors for postoperative acute kidney injury (AKI) in the patients undergoing cardiac transplantation.Methods Forty patients with end-stage heart failure (both sexes) , aged 13-66 yr, weighing 45-84 kg, of ASA physical status Ⅳ or Ⅴ (NYHA Ⅲ or Ⅳ), undergoing heart transplantation, with normal kidney function before operation, were selected.According to whether or not AKI occurred within 7 days after operation, the patients were divided into either AKI group or non-AKI group.Factors including age, gender, body weight, complications (including hypertension and diabetes mellitus), preoperative blood glucose, hemoglobin, serum creatinine, cardiac output, ejection fraction, pulmonary arterial systolic pressure, intraoperative cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time, transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells, and urine volume within 24 h after operation were recorded.The risk factors of which P values were less than 0.05 would enter the multivariate logistic regression analysis to stratify postoperative AKI-related risk factors for this type of patients.Results A total of 39 patients were enrolled in this study.Of the 39 patients, 14 patients suffered from AKI after operation, and the incidence was 36％.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative pulmonary hypertension and CPB time ＞ 180 min were the independent risk factors for AKI after cardiac transplantation.Conclusion Preoperative pulmonary hypertension and CPB time＞180 min are the independent risk factors for postoperative AKI in the patients undergoing cardiac transplantation.

Objective To investigate the differentially expressed circulating microRNAs of pancreatic cancer,and of the pancreatic cancer with gemcitabine resistance,to find potential biomarkers for noninvasive diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and the prediction of prognosis of gemcitabine.Methods To screen the highly deregulated microRNAs in the plasma samples of pancreatic cancer,and in the plasma samples ofpancreatic cancer patients with gemcitabine resistance using reverse transcription and quantitative PCR.Results Twenty-eight microRNAs expressing differentially with fold-exchange ＞ 2 was screened out comparing pancreatic cancer and healthy controls,and 28 microRNAs was screened out comparing gemcitabine resistant patients and gemcitabine positive patients.Conclusions There is a specific circulating mIcroRNA profile in pancreatic cancer as well as in pancreatic cancer with gemcitabine resistance.These profiles may have potential in noninvasive diagnosis of pancreatic cancer and the prediction of prognosis of gemcitabine.

0.05). NDP had lower reaction rate, vomiting (15.62%) occurred in NDP group, compared to that which occurred in DDP group (46.88%), with a significant difference between the two groups (P

OBJECTIVE:To study the preventive effect and mechanism of butylphthalide on myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS:SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group,model group,butylphthalide low-dose,me-dium-dose,high-dose groups (50,75,100 mg/lg),10 in each group. All rats were intragastrically administrated related drugs once a day,sham operation group and model group were intragastrically administrated equal amount of normal saline,for 3 d. Af-ter last administration,except for sham operation group,120 min of repertusion was conducted. Ratio of myocardial infarction ar-ea, apoptosis rate of myocardial cells, expressions of apoptosis-related protein [proapoptotic proteins (Caspase-3, Fas, Cas-pase-9),apoptotic protein (Bcl-2)],left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),and content of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)in serum of rats in other groups were detected. RESULTS:Compared with sham operation group,myocardial infarction ar-ea and apoptosis rate of myocardial cells in model group were obviously increased;expressions of Caspase-3,Fas,Caspase-9 pro-tein in myocardial cells were obviously enhanced,Bcl-2 protein expression was obviously weakened;LVEF and serum VEGF con-tent were obviously reduced (P<0.01). Compared with model group,except that LVEF in butylphthalide low-dose group didn't changed obviously (P>0.05),above indexes in other administration groups improved obviously (P<0.05). Compared with bu-tylphthalide low-dose group,myocardial infarction area and apoptosis rate of myocardial cells in butylphthalide high-dose group were obviously decreased(P<0.05);expressions of Caspase-3,Fas,Caspase-9 protein in myocardial cells in butylphthalide medi-um-dose,high-dose groups were obviously weakened,and Bcl-2 protein expression was obviously enhanced(P<0.05). CONCLU-SIONS:Butylphthalide can effectively reduce myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats,protect cardiac functions,and its mechanism may be related with up-regulating VEGF.

This thesis described the necessity for practicing the tutorial system of specialist training in Chinese medical education,the essential basic elements for the construction of the tutorial system of specialist training and also the necessity for further exploration in the patterns of the tutorial system of specialist training in China.

Through a retrospective clinical analysis of 3160 cases of severe cranio cerebral injury ( SCCI ), the aim of this study is to explore effective treatments to increase cure rate for this injury. The causes and types of trauma, operation modalities,and prognosis were reviewed. The main causes resulting in SCCI were traffic accidents and fall from a height. The main types of SCCI were subdural, extradural and multiple intracranial hematomas. The main signs and symptoms were unconsciousness, pyramidal signs and pupil changes. The rate of cure and improvement was 73 6%. The mortality rate was 19 4%. Early diagnosis and timely operation, maintenance of patency of the respiratory tract, brain protection during operation, and competent ICU care after operation were important measure to achieve good recovery of SCCI patients.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of Tanreqing injection on acute lung injury in patients undergoing noninvasive positive pressure ventilation(NIPPV).METHODS: 162 patients with acute lung injury were randomly assigned to receive Tanreqing injection plus NIPPV(treatment group) or NIPPV alone(control group).At 8,24,48 h of undergoing NIPPV,parameters such as patients' subjective symptoms,vital sign,blood gas analysis PaO2/FiO2 and NIPPV duration etc were recorded.RESULTS: In the treatment group compared with the control group,the mean duration of NIPPV was shorter(P

Objective: Self-enhancement is a kind of motive that urges people to attend exclusively to the positive aspects of himself,it is so intense that individuals even tend to distort the threatening information to some degree so that they can maintain a positive self-view. This research is to investigate the pattern of self-enhancement of Chinese people. Methods: Self-enhancement was measured by requiring participants to make self attribution as well as other attribution of their success and failure on eight factors. Results: There existed strong self-enhancement motive in Chinese individuals. Specifically,Chinese undergraduates attribute their success to inner factors such as personality and effort. This trends also evident in the conditions in which participants were asked to speculate the attribute pattern of other people like his/her mother on their own success and failure. Conclusion: Chinese undergraduates tend to enhance the self-image in other people's eyes.

Objective To investigate the method of screening metra scar flaw of late trimester of pregnancy with B ultrasound and predict the risk of scar uterine rupture. Methods The depth and scar of lower uterine segment were observed continuously by B ultrasound between 33～41 weeks of gravida having the history of cesarean section. Results Lower uterine segment has all been formed after 33 weeks of 396 gravida. Lower uterine segment flaw was found in 69 cases by B ultrasound, nine cases were diagnosed to be aura uterine rupture which were confirmed in operation. Conclusion With B ultrasound we can observe the development of lower uterine segment during pregnancy so as to predict aura uterine rupture.
