Objective To use color Doppler ultrasound to measure the hemodynamic indexes,and to es-tablish the diagnostic prediction model of inflammatory fetal distress.Methods A total of 213 pregnant women admitted to the obstetrics department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Air Force Military Medical U-niversity were collected as the research subjects and divided into the control group and case group according to whether or not fetal distress occurred,including 93 cases in the control group and 120 cases in the case group.The predictive value of PI,RI,S/D values of middle cerebral artery,umbilical artery and uterine artery for pre-dicting fetal distress was analyzed The diagnostic model was constructed by logistic regression analysis.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve,calibration curve and clinical decision curve were adopted to an-alyze and evaluate the diagnostic efficiency of the model for adverse perinatal outcome and the clinical benefit of the patients.Results The univariate analysis results showed that MCA-PI,MCA-RI,MCA,S/D and CPR in the case group were lower than those in the control group,while UA-RI,UA,S/D and UtA-RI were higher than those in the control group.The multivariate regression analysis further showed that MCA-PI,MCA-RI and CPR were the independent protective factors for predicting fetal distress,while UA-R1 and UA-S/D served as the independent risk factors affecting the fetal outcome.Based on five independent influencing fac-tors,the risk prediction model was constructed,and the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.880(95％CI:0.834-0.925).The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 0.93,0.70 and 0.83 respec-tively,and the goodness of fit was good.Conclusion The hemodynamic indexes measured by color Doppler ul-trasound have good predictive value for the diagnosis of fetal distress.The risk prediction model established by the combined indexes has a certain reference value for the intervention in advance of pregnant women with fe-tal distress occurence.

Liver transplantation is currently the only effective treatment for end-stage liver disease. The preservation of donor liver before transplantation is important. But both traditional static cold storage and machine perfusion are limited by the preservation time, so that the allotment space of donor liver is limited, which inevitably leads to the abandonment of part of donor liver.At present, to find a preservation technology that not only guarantees the quality of donor liver but also has a longer effective preservation time is the direction of joint efforts of all clinicians. Supercooling liver preservation(SLP) to find a preservation technology that not only guarantees the quality of donor liver but also has a longer effective preservation time is the direction of joint efforts of all clinicians. SLP, a new method based on using cryoprotectants to keep donor liver under -6 ℃ and recovering the graft with subnormothermic machine perfusion that enables long-term transplantation survival following 4 days of liver preservation, made a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of liver preservation, carved out a new field for the research of liver preservation. This article reviews the latest experimental research progress of SLP in the field of liver transplantation.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the characteristics of autopsies in medical dispute.

METHODSThe data of 202 autopsy cases in medical disputes performed by the Department of Pathology of Jiangxi Medical College from January 2001 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTSThe number of autopsy in medical disputes increased year by year. Neonatal, infant and 30 ≊ 60y were more common age groups in dispute; the gender ratio of male to female was 2:1 and more cases were from hospitals in rural areas. Most medical disputes came from in departments of pediatric, obstetrics and gynecology and general surgery. Death caused by cardiovascular diseases ranked at the first place.

CONCLUSIONAutopsy is important in medical disputes to define the cause of death and to preserve evidence.

To find novel antihepatitis drugs, a series of nitrate-oleanolic acid (OA) hybrids (10a, 10b, 11a-11e and 12a-12c) were designed and synthesized on the basis of previous studies using OA as lead compound, which is widely found in natural plants and liver-specific metabolism. In the present study, ten novel NO-releasing derivatives of OA were synthesized by connecting nitrate to the OA-3-OH through varying lengths of linkers containing antioxidants which were designed to increase the ability of these target compounds to scavenge free radicals. The structures of these objective compounds were determined by IR, MS, 1H NMR and elemental analysis. Their protective effects on anti-Fas mediated HepG2 cell apoptosis were in vitro evaluated by LDH assay. Compound 12a is the most potent inhibitor. Its effect on anti-Fas mediated HepG2 cell apoptosis and amount of NO-releasing in vitro are similar to those of positive control NCX-1000.

Objective To investigate the characteristic and its clinical value of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and its receptor, interleukin (IL)-1β and its receptor in serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and to determine the role of them in the immunopathogenesis of tuberculosis. Methods The concentrations of TNF-α,soluble TNF receptor (sTNF-R) Ⅰ, IL-1β and IL-1 receptor were measured using sandwish ABC-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method in serum and BALF of 46 patients with active tuberculosis and 21 patients with inactive tuberculosis, and in the serum of 20 cases of healthy control. Meanwhile the above-mentioned cytokine levels in serum and BALF of 19 patients with active tuberculosis were followed up. Differences between groups were assessed for significance by t test. Results The TNF-α,sTNF-R Ⅰ, IL-1β and IL-1 receptor levels and TNF-α/sTNF-R Ⅰ ratios in BALF of active tuberculosis group were (286.2±96.3) pg/L,(2 431.5±1 124.6) pg/L,(58.6±3.2) pg/L,(162.4±17.1) pg/L and 0.06±0.01, respectively, which were all significantly higher than those with inactive tuberculosis group (t=3.36,3.25,2.95,2.27 and 3.12 respectively; P<0.05). The TNF-α,sTNF-R Ⅰ,IL-1β and IL-1 receptor levels and TNF-α/sTNF-R Ⅰ ratios in BALF of cavernous tuberculosis group were (381.4±106.4) pg/L,(2 824.7±1 318.5) pg/L,(66.4±4.6) pg/L,(176.4±18.7) pg/L and 0.07±0.01, respectively,which were all significantly higher than those of non-cavernous tuberculosis group (t= 3.46,2.37, 3.19, 2.99 and 3.22, respectively; P<0.05). After 2-month' antituberculosis treatments, among 19 cases, the TNF-α,sTNF-R Ⅰ,IL-1β and IL-1 receptor levels and TNF-α/sTNF-R Ⅰ ratios in BALF of 16 cases were significantly lower than those at the beginning of treatments (t= 3.26,3.17, 3.28, 2.92 and 3.12 respectively; P<0.01). Meanwhile, their clinical symptoms improved, sputum smear negative, lesions on chest X-ray resolved and the cavity shrinked or closed. Conclusions TNF-α, sTNF-R Ⅰ, IL-1β and IL-1 receptor are likely to be involved in the immunopathogenesis of tuberculosis. Detection of TNF-α, sTNF-R Ⅰ, IL-1β and IL-1 receptor levels in the serum and BALF is helpful to understand the activity of disease, determine the clinical pattern of disease,assess the prognosis of disease and monitor the therapeutic effect in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis.
