To investigate the expression of HMGB1 in non - small cell lung cancer and to analyze the correlation between HMGB1 and clinicopathologic outcomes. Methods:The serum HMGB1 levels in 30 patients with non - smal cell lung cancer and 15 healthy controls were determined by real time PCR and Western - blot and analys-ize their relationship with clinical pathology parameter. Results:The expression of HMGB1 mRNA and protein was significantly higher in non - small cell lung cancer group than in healthy control group. Furthermore,expression of HMGB1 protein in non - smal cell lung cancer were related to TNM staing(P ﹤ 0. 05)and lung cancer cell differenti-ation(P ﹤ 0. 05),but not to smoking,sex and histological type(P ﹥ 0. 05). Multiple comparisons showed that there were different expressions of HMGB1 with different differentiation,(0. 43 ± 0. 10),(0. 75 ± 0. 31),(0. 98 ± 0. 24) (P ﹤ 0. 05). HMGB1 protein of stage Ⅰ - Ⅱ(0. 62 ± 0. 29)were significantly higher than those of stage Ⅲ - Ⅳ(0. 85 ± 0. 32)(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusion:HMGB1 may be a useful clinical marker for evaluating the NSCLC progres-sion and is of potential prognostic value.
Objective Toevaluatetheclinicalvalueoffractionalexhalednitricoxide(FeNO)in predictingtheefficacyofpulmicortrespulesintreatmentofchroniccough.Methods Sixtychroniccoughpa-tients with negative results in bronchial provocation and dilation tests,induced sputum eosinophil count <3%and elevated levels of FeNO were randomly divided into the treatment (n=30)and control groups (n=30).In the control group,roxithromycin and mucosolvan were used for treatment. In the treatment group,pulmicort respulesinhalationwasperformedadditionally,2mgforeachtestfortwicedaily.Results Afteroneweek treatment,the remission rate and overall efficacy in the treatment group were significantly higher compared with those in the control group (both P<0.01 ). FeNO level in the treatment group was significantly decreased (P<0.01)whereastheFeNOlevelinthecontrolgroupdidnotdiffer(P>0.05).Conclusion FeNOplaysa role in selecting medication therapy for patients with chronic cough. Pulmicort respules inhalation is effective in treatment of chronic cough with elevated levels of FeNO.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Olprinone in treatment of congestive heart failure(CHF).Methods 94 cases of CHF were randomly divided into Olprinone group and Milrinone group,47 cases in each group.Olprinone or Milrinone were prescribed for patients of two groups respectively.The change of NT-proBNP level,cardiac function measured by echocardiography including left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF),fractional shortening(FS),left ventricular end diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular end diastolic volume(LVEDV),left ventricular end systolic diameter(LVESD),left ventricular end systolic volume(LVESV),cardiac output(CO) and cardiac index(CI) after 7 days' treatment and short-term prognosis were observed.Results NT-proBNP level,LVEDV of two groups decreased significantly(P =0.000,0.013 respectively in Olprinone group,P =0.000,0.014 respectively in Milrinone group),and LVEF and FS increased significantly(P =0.000,0.011 respectively in Olprinone group,P =0.030,0.042 respectively in Milrinone group).After 7 days' treatment,compared with Milrinone group,NT-proBNP level of Olprinone group was lower (P =0.041),and LVEF and FS were higher(P =0.048,0.047 respectively).There were no significant differences between PLT level,liver function and renal function of the two groups.The mortality of 7-day and 30-day of Olprinone group was not significantly different from that of Milrinone group.Conclusions Olprinone is better than Milrinone in the effect of depressing NT-proBNP level and improving cardiac function.Meanwhile,the incidence of side effect does not appear to be higher.
目的 评价无创正压机械通气(NPPV)在治疗急性左心衰时,对患者N端前体脑钠肽(NT-proBNP)与白介素6(IL-6)的影响.方法 采用随机分组的方法,将91例急性左心衰患者分为NPPV组和对照组,分别为45例和46例,观察治疗24h后血清NT-proBNP、IL-6与血流动力学、氧动力学参数的变化.结果 治疗24h后,NPPV组患者的NT-proBNP、IL-6、中心静脉压(CVP)水平均较治疗前明显降低(均P<0.05),左室射血分数(LVEF)、动脉血氧分压(PaO2)、动脉血二氧化碳分压(PaCO2)、氧输送(DO2)及氧耗量(VO2)水平较治疗前明显上升(P<0.05);对照组患者的NT-proBNP、IL-6、CVP水平均较治疗前明显降低(均P<0.01),PaO2、PaCO2和DO2水平较治疗前明显升高(均P<0.01).两组间比较,NPPV组NT-proBNP、IL-6、CVP、PaO2、PaCO2、DO2及VO2改善幅度均明显大于对照组(P<0.05).结论 适当参数的NPPV治疗,可降低急性左心衰患者MT-proBNP及IL-6水平,改善血流动力学及氧动力学.
Objective To compare the influences of different routes of nutrition on the outcome and respiratory muscle strength of elderly patients in respiratory intensive care unit (RICU). Methods Totally 147 elderly patients in RICU were equally randomized into combined nutrition group ( combinination of parenteral nutrition and enteral nutrition), total enteral nutrition (EN) group, and total parenteral nutrition (PN) group. The changes of energy metabolism, respiratory muscle strength, and short-term outcome were observed or determined.Results Plasma albumin (ALB), hemoglobin (Hb), creatinine (Cr) levels, and nitrogen balance significantly increased in all group 7 days later ( all P < 0. 01 ), while blood urea nitrogen (BUN) significantly decreased ( P <0.01 ). The increase of ALB, Hb, Cr levels, and nitrogen balance were significantly more remarkable than that in EN group and PN group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The decrease of BUN level in the combined nutrition group was significantly more remarkable than that in EN group ( P < 0. 05 ). After nutritional support, the maximum inspiratory pressure in the combined nutrition group (P =0. 021 ) and EN group (P = 0. 011 ) became significantly higher, and occlusion pressure at 0.1 second inspiration level in the combined nutrition group became significantly lower ( P =0. 025). The incidences of infectious and non-infectious complications in PN group were significantly higher than those in EN group (P = 0. 002 and 0. 017, respectively) and combined nutrition group ( P = 0. 005 and 0. 004, respectively). Gastric retention was more common in EN group than that in PN group ( P = 0. 035). The weaning time,length of RICU stay, length of hospital stay and 20-day-mortality were significantly decreased in the combined nutrition group than those in the other two groups ( all P < 0. 05 ). Conclusion The effectiveness of the combined application of PN and EN is superior to PN or EN alone in improving nutritional status and respiratory muscle strength as well as in improving the short-term outcome in elderly patients in RICU..
