Objective To analyze informatization module requirements and to design system framework for manufacturing train hospital in 350 km/h speed Chinese standard EMU. Methods Using 350 km/h speed Chinese standard EMU as the design platform and medical experience in hospital and health informazation in warship as design foundation data, the informatization system requirements of hardware and software were discussed to figure out the rational framework design of hospital in train. Results The informatization system of the train hospital was divided into two components for external and internal communication. The external communication component consisted of telemedicine subsystem based on KU satellite communications, train dispatching subsystem based on train dispatching private network and military command subsystem based on special communication bands, and the internal communication component was made up of the hospital information subsystem, internal office subsystem, video supervision subsystem etc. Conclusion The framework design of the informatization system of the train hospital takes considerations on the compatability with military and civilian uses as well as the requirements for information exchange between information functional systems, which lays a foundation for the manufacture of the train hospital based on the EMU.

Objective To evaluate the predictive value of admission blood glucose level for the mortality within 30-day and major adverse cardiac events(MACE) rate in patients with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods An observational analysis of 7446 Chinese STEMI patients from a global randomized controlled trials of cases recruited within 12 hours of symptom onset was carried out. According to the levels of admission glucose (hyperglycemia was defined as admission glucose>10 mmol/L) and known diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) ,these patients were divided into four groups, Ⅰ :no DM and normal glucose group (control group) ; Ⅱ : DM but normal glucose group; Ⅲ : no DM and hyperglycemia group; and Ⅳ: DM and hyperglycemia group. Results Admission hyperglycemia was associated with a significantly higher 30-day mortality rate (group Ⅲ 17. 1% vs group I 8.6%, group Ⅳ 18.6% vs group Ⅰ 8. 6%, P<0.001) and also an increased incidence of MACE (group Ⅲ36. 3% vs group Ⅰ 21.6%, group Ⅳ 38. 8% vs group Ⅰ 21.6%, P<0.001). However, DM without admission hyperglycemia did not increase the 30-day mortality (group Ⅱ 11.6% vs group Ⅰ 8. 6%, P = 0.096). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that compared with group Ⅰ patients, group Ⅲ and group Ⅳ had a risk of death of 1.51 fold(OR 1.51,95% CI 1.22-1.87,P<0.001) and 1.83 fold(OR 1.83,95% CI 1.40-2. 39, P<0.001) respectively; hyperglycemia was an independent predictor of 30-day mortality and an increase of 1 mmol/L in glucose level was associated with a 5% increase of mortality risk (OR 1.05,95% CI 1.04-1.07,P<0.001), but DM without hyperglycemia was not so (OR 1.11,95% CI 0. 87-1.42, P =0. 412). Conclusions The rates of 30-day mortality and cardiovascular events are significantly higher in STEMI patients with acute hyperglycemia than in patients without. Hyperglycemia on admission is an independent risk factor for the short-term outcome of STEMI, but diabetes mellitus without hyperglycemia isv not associated with the short-term mortality.

Background The mechanism of both selenite-induced cataract and age-related cataract is oxidative damage.N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is one of the effective antioxidants,but the literature is little about the preventive and treating effects of NAC on cataract. Objective This study attempted to investigate the preventive and therapeutical effects of NAC on the selenite-induced cataract,and to discuss the possible mechanism. Methods Sixty 10-day-old clean SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group-1,normal control group-2,selenite-induced cataract group,NAC preventive group,NAC+normal saline group and NAC treatment group.Selenite cataract models were induced by subcutaneous injection of 3.46 mg/kg sodium selenite once daily for three days.The rats of NAC preventive group received the intraperitoneal injection of 2 mmol/L NAC 30 minutes before the injection of sodium selenite once daily for 6 days.In NAC treating group,2 mmol/L NAC was intraperitoneally injected 1 day after the injection of sodium selenite for 30 days,and the normal saline solution was injected at the same method in the NAC+normal saline group.Lens opacification was graded according to LOCS Ⅲ criteria.Histopathological change of lens epithelium was examined under a light microscope after hemotoxylin and eosin staining,and the ultrastructure was observed under the scanning electron microscope.The expression of caspase-3 in lens was assayed using immunochemistry.The levels of superoxide dismutase ( SOD ),malonaldehyde ( MDA ) in rat lens were detected respectively in corresponding time points.The use of the experimental animals complied with the Regulation for the Administration of Affairs Concerning Experimental Animals by State Science and Technology Committee. Results In 7 days after experiment,lenses were completely clear in the normal control group.Lens opacification of Ⅴ grade was found in 11 eyes in selenite cataract model group,but no lens opacification of Ⅴ grade was seen in NAC preventive group,showing a significant difference(x2 =40.000,P＜0.05 ).In 30 days after experiment,Ⅳ- Ⅴ grades of cataracts were found in 20 eyes both in NAC + normal saline group and NAC treating group (x2=0.153,P＞ 0.05 ).Histopathological examination showed that lens structure was normal,and the separation between LECs and anterior capsule,the rupture of cellular membrane,deformation of cellular nuclei and the feature of lens fiber were seen in selenite cataract group,but the damage of lens was mild in the NAC preventive group.Ultrastructure of lens was obviously abnormal in selenite cataract group,NAC+normal saline group and NAC treating group.Expressions of caspase-3 and SOD in lens were significantly lower,but that of MDA was significantly higher in the selenite cataract group than the normal control group (P＜0.05) ;while those of the NAC preventive group were significantly different from selenite cataract group(P＜0.05).No significant difference was found in the expressions of caspase-3 and the levels of SOD and MDA between NAC+normal saline group and NAC treating group (P＞0.05 ). Conclusions Selenite can induce the apoptosis of LECs.NAC can evidently postpone formation of selenite cataract by increasing the activity of SOD,decreasing the level of MDA and the expression of caspase-3.However,NAC could not reverse selenite-induced lens damage.

Objective To investigate the clinical value for treatment of diabetic foot with PTA and PTA combined cinepazide maleate.Methods In 24 cases of diabetic associated vascular disease of lower limb,12 cases were treated with PTA and other 12 cases were treated with PTA combined einepazide maleate,We analysed and compared clinical effects before and after the procedure,together with 3 months follow up.Results In patients treated with PTA,the clinical symptom scores of posttreatment and follow-up decreased;ABI and TcPO_2 increased significantly.The clinical symptom score and ABI of follow-up remained,stable,but TcPO_2 decreased significantly.Control angiography showed improvement in degree of vascular stenosis and peripheral staining of 11 patients after treatment.The vascular patency remained in 12 patients and the peripheral staining decreased in 7 patients on follow-up.In patients treated with VIA combined cinepazide maleate,the clinical symptom score,ABI and TcPO_2 after treatment and on follow-up showed no signifcant changes compared with those in patients treated by PTA.F,Control angiography showed that the degree of vascular stenosis and peripheral staining were improved in 12 patients after treatment.The vascular pateney was maintained and peripheral staining was improved on follow-up.Before and after treatment,there were no significant differences in clinical symptom score.ABI and TcPO_2 between patients treated with PTA and PTA combined cinepazide maleate,however,there were significant differences in clinical symptom score and TcPO_2 on follow-up.Conclusion PTA can significantly improve clinical symptom of diabetic foot and the application of cinepazide maleate is a benefitial and necessary supplement.PTA combined cinepazide maleate can be taken as one of the conventional treatment plans for diabetic foot.(J Intervent Radiol,2007,16:811-815)

Objective To explore the effect of carvedilol on ACE2 gene and protein expression in chronic heart failure rats after myocardial infarction.Methods The heart failure model was induced by acute myocardial infarc- tion (AMI) through ligating the left anterior descending coronary artery.One month after operation,rats were randomized to receive placebo or carvedilol 2 mg/(kg?d),by gavage.Sham-operated rats were used as the control group.Hemodynamies,body mass and left ventrieular mass index,plasma and myocardial level of angiotensin Ⅱ were determined.ACE2 gene and protein expression was assessed by using RT-PCR and Western Blot.Results The mortality of placebo and Carvedilol groups were 20%,compared with 0% in sham operated rats.Carvedilol significantly improved LVEDP,LVSP,+dp/dt_(max) and-dp/dt_(min) in CHF rats but all the hemodynamics data were still inferior than that of controls.Plasma and myocardial angiotensin Ⅱ level were increased significantly in CHF placebo rats than those of control rats (plasma Ang Ⅱ:CHF:194?19 vs controls:132?15 ng/L,myocardium Ang Ⅱ:CHF:6.7?0.4 vs control:3.8?0.3 ng/g,P

In this paper, the new carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode (F-CNTs/GCE) was prepared to establish a new method for studying the molecular interaction mechanism between baicalin metal complexes (BMC) and bovine serum album (BSA), and the principle of this method was discussed deeply. Under the physiological condition, the thermodynamics and kinetics properties of interaction between BMC and BSA were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) to inference their molecular effective mechanism. The results show that the presence of F-CNTs can accelerate the electron transfer, and better response signal was showed in the BMC/BMC-BSA system. The detection of interaction of BMC-BSA used new method show that BMC-BSA generates stable thermodynamically non-covalent compounds, and the obtained average binding sites of BMC-BSA were 1.7; the number of electron transfer in BMC/BMC-BSA reaction process was 2, and non electroactive supramolecular compounds of BMC-BSA were generated by this interacting reaction. The relevant research work provides a new way to study the molecular mechanism for the interaction of drugs with protein, and with a certain reference value for discussion on the non covalent interactions.
