Objective To investigate and compare the change of extravascular lung water (EVLW) and levels of cytokines in septic patients without clinical acute lung injury (ALI) /acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with those in spetic patients with sepsis-induced ALI/ARDS in order to determine the role of EVLW involved in the pathogenesis of lung injury in the patients by quantifying the relationship between EVLW and biomarkers of lung injury in patients with sepsis.Methods A total of 40 septic patients complicated either with or without clinical ALI/ARDS after sepsis. In each patient,transpulmonary thermodilution (PiCCO) was used to measure cardiovascular hemodynamics and EVLWI for 7 days via an arterial cannula indwelled within 72 hours after diagnosis of severe sepsis was made, and serial bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) were carried out.Other examinations including blood gas analysis,ventilator parameters,chest X-ray and the levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF-oα),interleukin-1 in the BAL were recorded.In-hospital and ICU mortalities were also observed.Results Of total 40 patients,29 were complicated with clinically defined septic ALI/ARDS ( ARDS n =15,and ALI n =14).The septic patients complicated with ALL/ARDS had significantly higher amount of EVLWI and higher levels of TNF-α and interleukin-1 in the BAL than patients without ALI/ARDS ( P < 0.05).The arterial oxygen tension/fractional inspired oxygen ratio,lung injury score,and the levels of TNF-α,IL-1 in the BAL correlated with EVLWI.Moreover,in-hospital mortality,ICU mortality and the length of ICU stay of the patients with high amount of EVLWI were markedly increased than those of patients with low amount of EVLWI. Conclusions In septic patients complicated with ALI/ARDS, the extravascular lung water index correlates with oxygenation,lung injury severity and inflammatory cytokines in lung.Determination of EVLWI may be useful for evaluation of severity of lung injury and prognosis of septic patients.

Objective To measure changes of definitive volume of rebuild CT image in three dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) treatment planning system (TPS) under different scanning and observing conditions, which may provide a reference in selecting proper condition of scanning and observing, delineating target volume, and delivering treatment plan. Methods A self-made phantom was scanned under different CT scanning conditions, datas were imported to TPS, CT images were rebuilt in three dimensions under different observing conditions, and then the volumes of large, middle and small simulated tumors on CT images were compared with their real volumes. Results The volume defined by rebuilt CT imags in 3DCRT TPS varied according to different scanning and observing conditions. When scanning axial thickness was set at 10. 000 mm, errors of large, middle and small simulated tumor were - 13.60%, - 17. 68% and - 27. 53%, respectively. When 0. 625 mm was set, errors changed to -0. 50%, -0. 68% and -0. 81% ,respectively. When scanning pitch was set at 0. 562, 0. 938, 1. 375 and 1. 750, the errors were - 1.06%, - 1.09%, 5.52% and 4.75%, respectively. Extreme observing condition, window width and window level markedly increased errors of definitive volume of rebuilt CT images with a maximum of 80. 06%. Conclusions This study may provide clues in selecting scanning and observing condition, delineating target volume, and delivering treatment plan.

Objective To study the clinical efficacy of autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for the treatment myocardial infarction,in the same period of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods From January 2012 to January 2015,76 patients with myocardial infarction were selected.Patients were divided into transplantation group (n =46) and control group (n =30) on the basis of whether being treated by autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.After myocardial infarction patients were taken to the hospital with the therapy of conventional drug,5 days before CABG,transplantation group was given the autologous peripheral blood stem cell mobilization and expansion,24 hours before CABG,taking autologous peripheral blood stem cell collection.76 patients took CABG with non-cardiopulmonary by pass,transplantation group was given autologous peripheral blood stem cell via transplantation vessels and subepicardial,while the control group was not given the injection of autologous peripheral blood stem cell.The LV morphology,wall motion score index (WMSI) and index of cardiac function before and after the operation in both groups were evaluated by echocardiography.Results Six months after CABG,there was a significant decrease in Left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and wall motion score index,Left ventricular ejection fraction was increased.The indexes of cardiac function in the transplantation group were better than the control group.Conclusion Autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplantation for the treatment myocardial infarction can improve the heart function,and has obvious recent clinical curative effect in the same period of CABG.
