ObjectiveTo evaluate the possibility of monitoring regional tissue oxygen saturation by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) for early predicting adverse events in patients with pulmonary atresia.MethodsTwenty-six patients aged under 3 months who were diagnosed with pulmonary atresia and admitted to cardiovascular intensive care unit in our hospital between January 2016 and May 2017, accepted regional tissue oxygenation (cerebral and splanchnic) by near-infrared spectroscopy. There were 19 males and 7 females at age of 2–89 days. A total of 625 times of heart rate, blood pressure, pulse saturation, regional tissue oxygenation, and 98 serum lactate were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship of the tissue oxygen saturation and clinical adverse events was explored.ResultsThe adverse event by routine monitoring was 69 (11.04%) person-time: isolated hypoxia in 27, hypoxia combined increased lactate in 16, hypotension in 6, hypotension combined increased lactate in 17, isolated increased lactate in 3. A reduction of 12.80% in cranial oxygen predicted the high probability of adverse events, with a sensitivity of 85.30% and a specificity of 87.00%. A reduction of 20.60% in splanchnic oxygen predicted the high probability of adverse event, with a sensitivity of 73.50% and a specificity of 91.2%. On average, the splanchnic oxygenation had fell 3 minutes before a reduction of blood pressure, or 45 minutes before an increase in lactate.ConclusionFor preoperative patients with pulmonary atresia, a fall of 12.80% in cranial oxygen saturations, or of 20.60% in splanchnic oxygen saturation, should attract clinician’s awareness.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of integrated treatment ( sequential noninvasive following invasive mechanical ventilation, bronchoscope suction, combined inhalation) in patients with acute respiratory failure induced by chronic obstructive pulmonary disease ( COPD) . Methods 59 elderly patients with COPD and acute respiratory failure in ICU fromJuly 2006 to July 2009 were enrolled in the study. The patients were randomized into three groups, ie. a non-invasive mechanical ventilation group ( NIV group) , a sequential non-invasive following invasive mechanical ventilation group ( SV group) , a integrated treatment group ( IT group) . APACHEⅡ score, clinical pulmonary infection score ( CPIS) ,arterial blood gas analysis, respiratory rate ( RR) , heart rate ( HR) , and mean artery blood pressure ( MAP)at 0 h, 3 h, 3 d, 12 d after treatment were recorded. Results With the extension of treatment time,APACHEⅡ score, CPIS score, RR, HR, PaCO2 , and white blood cells gradually reduced, while pH and PaO2 gradually increased in the three groups ( P lt;0. 05) . The differences in RR, HR, PaCO2 , and PaO2 at the time of 3 d and 12 d were significant between the three groups( P lt;0. 05) . The occurrence of pulmonary infection control ( PIC) window and ventilation associated pneumonia ( VAP) had no difference among the three groups( P gt;0. 05) . The duration of total mechanical ventilation, durations of ICU stay and hospital stay were shorter in SV group than those in NIV group( P lt;0. 05) . The duration of total mechanical ventilation,duration of invasive mechanical ventilation, durations of ICU stay and hospital stay were shorter in IT group than those in SV group( P lt;0. 05) . The incidence of VAP was higher in SV group than NIV group, but lower in IT group than SV group( P lt;0. 05) . Hospital mortality was lower in SV group than NIV group, and higher in IT group than SV group( P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusion In elderly COPD patients with acute respiratory failure, integrated treatment given early can reduce the duration of mechanical ventilation, the length of ICU and hospital stay, and decrease the morbidity of VAP and mortality.
【 Abstract 】 Objective To observe the effect of disruption of hypoxia inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1 α ) pathway by small hairpin RNA (shRNA) on chemosensitivity of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cells and to reveal the correlative mechanisms. Methods Plasmid of pshRNA-HIF-1α was transfected into HepG2 cells by lipofectamine. HepG2/pshRNA-HIF-1α (HepG2/pshRNA) cell lines were obtained by selection of HepG2 cells in G418. Meanwhile, plasmid of empty vector (pHK) was transfected as a control (HepG2/pHK). The mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1α and mdr1 were investigated by RT-PCR and Western blot respectively. Using CoCl2 to simulate the hypoxia condition, growth inhibition and apoptosis rates of HepG2 cells under different dosages of chemotherapeutic agents (adriamycin) were measured by MTT assay and flow cytometry (FCM) ． ResultsCompared with HepG2/pHK cells, the mRNA and protein expression levels of HIF-1αand mdr1 were obviously down-regulated in HepG2/pshRNA cells. At the same time, the proliferation inhibition and apoptosis rates were evidently increased after transfection with pshRNA-HIF-1α(P＜0.05)，which decreased the expression of HIF-1αto 82.18% at mRNA level and 75.51% at protein level. There was no significant effect of transfection pHK (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion These data demonstrates that HIF-1α interference by shRNA increased the sensitivity of HCC chemotherapy and the reversal of multidrug resistance, which may be done by down-regulating the transcription of mdr1 and the translation of P-gp. Blocking HIF-1αin HCC cells may offer an new avenue for gene therapy．
Objective To retrospectively analyze data of 4 377 victims during 2 weeks after Min-Zhang earthquake (Richter scale: 6.6), to provide references for decision-making of earthquake medical rescue. Methods We collected data of the wounded during two weeks after the earthquake, analyzed injuries and general rescue in hospital, input the data into Excel, and analyzed the data using SPSS 11.0. Descriptive analysis was conducted. Results As of 14 days after the earthquake, a total of 4 377 victims had been treated, including 858 hospitalized and 194 seriously-injured. The victims were from Min county, Zhang county, Dangchang county, and Li county. 145 injured people had been transferred to 10 municipal hospitals in Gansu province. Mental health centre of Gansu province had conducted psychological intervention among more than thousands of person-times. Disease control and prevention institutions in Dingxi city started severe natural disaster contingency planning 2 hours after earthquake, stipulated and improved the post-quake disease control technology plan, and dispatched quickly anti-epidemic emergency teams to complete tasks that included disposal of carcasses, monitoring water quality and epidemics, disinfecting environmental ruins, epidemic control in resettled areas, and large-scale health education. Conclusion The headquarter, in charge of medical relief and anti-epidemic work in the stricken areas of Min county and Zhang county, integrated resources, made overall command and quick response, and accomplished the phased tasks including anti-quake work, medical relief and anti-epidemic work, which replenished valuable data and experience.
Objective To study the interaction and mechanism of prostaglandin I2 (PGI2) receptor/thromboxane A2 (TxA2) receptor (IP/TP) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in ischemia reperfusion injury after liver transplantation of rat. Methods Rats were randomly divided into three groups: control group （n=16), orthotropic liver transplantation group （n=32) and nimesulide intervention group （n=32). The samples were obtained at 3 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation. The expressions of COX-2, IP and TP mRNA were detected by RT-PCR. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the localization and expression of COX-2. Hematoxylin Eosin staining was used to classify the injury extent of liver. Serum ALT and AST levels were detected to evaluate the changes of liver enzyme. Results COX-2 protein expression detected by immunohistochemistry in orthotropic liver transplantation group mainly distributed in the district of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells, liver cells and macrophage cells, which was significantly higher than control group and nimesulide intervention group. Expressions of IP mRNA, TP mRNA and COX-2 mRNA in the orthotropic liver transplantation group were significantly increased than those in control group (P＜0.05), and the ratio of IP/TP increased (P＜0.05). Expressions of IP mRNA and TP mRNA in nimesulide intervention group were significantly lower than that in the orthotropic liver transplantation group at 6 h and 12 h after operation (P＜0.05), and the ratio of IP/TP decreased at 3 h, 6 h and 24 h after operation (P＜0.05). The expression of COX-2 mRNA in nimesulide intervention group was significantly lower than that in the orthotropic liver transplantation group at 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after operation. In orthotropic liver transplantation group liver injury was obvious by HE staining, and more severve than that in nimesulide intervention group. Serum AST (each time) and ALT (3 h, 6 h and 12 h) levels in the orthotropic liver transplantation group were significantly higher than that in control group and nimesulide intervention group (P＜0.05) and peaked at 6 h after operation. Conclusion The balance of IP/TP takes part in and plays an important role in the ischemia reperfusion injury of liver transplantation. Changing imbalance of IP/TP may reduce liver transplantation ischemia reperfusion injury by inhibiting COX-2 expression.
