Objective To study the therapeutic and protective effect of low tidal volume(LTV) ventilation in children with acute respiratory failure.Methods Forty-eight patients with respiratory failure were enrolled in our study.The patients were suffered from severe infection,trauma or after major operation.Besides general treatments,they were all given ventilation with LTV.Blood gas,ventilation parameters and complications related to ventilation were also measured.Results No significant difference was found between the patients with high tidal volume(HTV) and those with LTV in the results of improving respiratory acidosis.But the incidence of(ventilated-)induced lung injury(VILI) was lower in LTV patients.Conclusion LTV ventilation is preferable for children with acute respiratory failure and beneficial for alleviation of VILI.

As seculars,we often feel unhappy,and it seems all of our unhappiness comes from almost every aspect of life,which is unable to escape.Russell′s view of happiness dug out the root of unhappiness from human nature,and tells us happiness could be obtained by expending one′s interests and necessarily giving away something in life.Russell′s great wisdom opens a door for us to the road of happiness.

In order to explore the available sero-diagnotic method for surveillance in basically controlled and controlled areas of schistosomiasis japonica, a 3 years longitudinal investigation of children 6~14 years old with COPT in 5 endemic areas was carried out after being basically controlled for 8~16 years. The results showed that the examination of children with COPT is one of the available serodiagnostic methods of schistosomiasis for surveillance. In all five areas the positive rate of children in this age group was less than 3%, and the circumoval precipitin rate among the positive cases was less than 5%. Therefore, it is indicated that the above mentioned two indexes can be used for sero-surveillance of schistosomiasis japonica.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) exist in the tumor microenvironment,and can be affected by various anticancer treatments and further affect tumor progression.Increasing evidence suggests that many of the clinical antitumor measures can play a unique and effective antitumor effect by regulating the recruitment,polarization and related pro-tumor behavior of macrophages in the tumor microenvironment.Now,tumor microenvironment immune remodeling has become a hot spot in the research of anti-tumor therapy.This paper reviews the related research progress on antitumor effects of TAMs as an therapeutic target.

Protective effects of acupuncture on myocardial ischemia in each stage have been confirmed increasingly, while there was no in-depth research in terms of histone modifications. Histone modification is an important part of epigenetics. It is also the focus of molecular biology and basic medical research. In this paper, the relationship of histone modifications and gene expression of heart was first explained. Then, the recent research progress of modified histones, which was the direct alteration of gene expression induced by histone modifications on the degree and prognosis of myocardial ischemic injury, was reviewed. This investigation introduced epigenetic regulation in the protection mechanism of myocardial ischemia by acupuncture. It provided new ideas and directions for the study of molecular mechanism of acupuncture efficacy.

Background and purpose:The ovarian mucinous tumor is one of the major subtypes of the ovari-an epithelial cancer. Ubiquitination is one of the main post-translational modifications, which has proven to be involved in tumorigenicity. Deubiquitinase is the protein enzyme that could reverse the process of ubiquitination to affect the initiation and progression of malignancies. This study aimed to analyze the expression and clinical application of deubiquitinase OTUB1 (OTU deubiquitinase, ubiquitin aldehyde binding 1) in ovarian primary mucinous tumors. Methods:This study collected 90 cases of ovarian primary mucinous tumors during 2010-2015 in Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital of Fudan University, and then collected the clinicopathological information and performed the immunochemistry.Results:Fourteen out of 90 cases were ovarian primary mucinous cystadenoma, 17 were borderline mucinous tumor (intestinal type and intraepithelial carcinoma), and 59 were ovarian primary mucinous carcinoma. The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 were much higher in malignant cases than those in benign ones (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 were much higher in cases with mucinous intraepithelial carcinoma than those in cases with intestinal type borderline mucinous tumor (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 increased with the advance of FIGO staging (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1 were much higher in cases with involved fallopian tubes than those in cases without involved fallopian tubes (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1were much higher in cases with involved uterus and omentum than those in cases with-out involvement (P<0.05). The expression rate and intensity of OTUB1were much higher in cases with lymph node metastasis than those in cases without involvement (P<0.05).Conclusion:There is significant difference in OTUB1 expression between ovarian primary mucinous carcinoma and benign mucinous cystadenoma. It is highly correlated to FIGO staging and invasion and metastasis of tumor. OTUB1 could be used in differential diagnosis and in monitoring the tumor initiation and progression in ovarian mucinous carcinoma.

Objective According to the changes of microcirculation in the pulmonary cancers, the treatment effect was evaluated after the vascular interventional therapy.Methods Angiography of 138 primary pulmonary carcinomas, and the feeding arteries were performed. Areas of mass blush were measured for 81 cases before and after therapy. The tumour blush was considered to be the imaging appearance of the microcirculation of the lung carcinoma. The angiographic images were collected by digital image system (DSA and movie). Results (1) The rate of the tumour blush appearance was 88.8% in this group. (2) The areas of the lung carcinoma blush in 81 cases before and after therapy were (941.4?73.2)mm 2 and (427.9? 93.8 )mm 2( P

Obstructive sleep disordered breathing (USDB) is a common diseases which caused by upper airway(UA) occlusion, muscle tone problems and collapse of upper airway etc. The article introduces how to select surgical treatment protocol. First, it is necessary of PSG and upper airway evaluation. Then, it is key to master surgical indications. For the children with hypertrophy of tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy, it may first step of tonsillectomy or adenoidectomy, they needed followed up by orthodontic doctor or orthognathic surgeon for tooth and maxillomandibular malformation. For the adult OSDB patients, there are two method, soft tissue reduction/mass excision around UA or maxillomandibular advancement(MMA), and MMA is recommended to the patients such as failure from UPPP and other surgical treatment, but for severe obesity patients, bariatric surgery is commended, it is very effective for soft tissue reduction around UA and weigh loss. For the OSDB patients with craniaomaxillomandibular deformities, such as craniosynostosis syndrome/micrognathia. Finally, it is important of the UA management for the surgical patients around perioperative period. All in all, it is necessary of the multidisciplinary cooperation for the OSDB patients, surgical treatment is useful method but it is not commend to all OSDB patients.

Objective To summarize the experiences of kidney retransplantation from 1978 to Dec. 2002.Methods The clinical data of 86 cases subject to first renal transplantation and 86 cases to second renal transplantation were retrospectively analyzed. The main causes of failure of the first renal transplantation were CAN, while those of the second renal transplantation were HAR, and other complications such as AR, graft rupture and serious graft T.B. PRA or CDC in 31 cases was positive before retransplantation. The clinical data such as antibody-inducing therapy, the protocols of immunosuppression and the survival rates of patients and grafts in these patients were analyzed.Results Survival rates at 1, 3, 5 year of the patient/graft of retransplantation group were 84.8 %/61.6 %, 79.1 %/45.3 % and 58.1 %/41.9 % respectively, while those at 1, 3, 5 years of the patient/graft with the first renal transplantation were 89.5 %/79.1 %, 81.4 %/74.4 % and 67.4 %/58.1 % respectively. No significant difference in the patient survival rates and graft survival rates was observed (P
