Objective To explore the clinical effect of cold treatment of replacement fluid in continuous blood purification(CBP)of patients with heat stroke.Methods Clinical data of 46 patients with heat stroke who were treated with CBP in Hainan Hospital of PLA General Hospital from July 2018 to September 2022 were retrospectively analyzed.The patients were assigned to control group(23 cases,conventional treatment for heat stroke and CBP with room temperature replacement fluid)and observation group(23 cases,conventional treatment for heat stroke and CBP with cooling replacement fluid).The body temperatures were compared between the two groups before treatment and 30 min,2 h,6 h,12 h and 24 h after treatment.The prothrombin activity(PTA),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),D-dimer(D-D),fibrinogen(FIB)and platelet count(PLT)before treatment and at 24 h(T1),3 d(T2)and 7 d(T3)after treatment,as well as the Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation Ⅱ(APACHEⅡ)score at 7 d after treatment were also compared between the two groups.Results There was no significant difference in temperature or coagulation function between the two groups before treatment(P>0.05).The temperature of the observation group was significantly different from that of the control group at 2 h,6h and 12h after treatment(P<0.05).After treatment,the levels of PTA,FIB and PLT in the observation group at T1,T2 and T3 were higher than those in the control group,while the level of D-D in the observation group was lower than that in the control group,and the APPT at T1 and T2 was significantly shorter than that in the control group(P<0.05).PTA,APPT,D-D,FIB and PLT of the two groups were improved after treatment(P<0.05).Conclusion The cold treatment of replacement fluid can quickly shorten the cooling time of patients with heat stroke during CBP,and significantly improve coagulation function.It is worthy of clinical promotion so as to improve the progrosis of patients with heat strok.

Hepatic failure is one of serious complications after hepatectomy. The individual′s preoperative physical health status, laboratory indicators, liver diseases, surgical factors, portal hypertension, and drug factors are all risk factors for hepatic failure. The author summarizes the risk factors for post hepatectomy liver failure(PHLF), analyzes the existing liver function scoring models, proposes the perioperative management strategy for patients undergoing hepatectomy according to the score index, so as to reduce the incidence of PHLF, improve the prognosis and long-term survival of patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations associated with longevity in Bama elderly population from Guangxi.

METHODSMitochondrial genome of 20 individuals over 96 years of age was sequenced, and seven target single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) were observed by comparing with the standard rCRS sequence, and two were tested by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method in a larger population including 208 individuals of 90-113 years old, and 586 unrelated control individuals from Guangxi.

RESULTSThe 4824G frequency of the mtDNA4824A/G locus increased with age both in the long-lived elderly and in controls. And it was significantly higher in controls than that in long-lived population (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe mtDNA4824 A/G is not only an age-related locus, its mutation is also negatively correlated with longevity.
