ObjectiveTo study the preoperative factors of perioperative red blood cells suspension (CRCs) consumption in cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) valve surgery. MethodsClinical data from 71 adult patients of selective CPB valve surgery during December 2012 to November 2014 were collected and analyzed. By binary logistic regression to find out risk factors of perioperative CRCs large consumption (≥8 U) in 5 variables (including age, body mass index (BMI), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), preoperative creatinine (Cr), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), peripheral vascular disease history, atrial fibrillation and flutter in 2 weeks before surgery, cardiac function). ResultsIn single variable logistic regression, 5 variables were in the equation (age, BMI, LVEF, preoperative Cr and peripheral vascular disease history, P <0.10, respectively.). In multivariable logistic regression, 3 variables were in the equation (age, preoperative Cr and BMI, P<0. 10, OR = 2.128, 4.244 and 0. 264, respectively). ConclusionMore blood should be prepared for patients of elder, higher preoperative Cr and less BMI due to the possibility of the patients with perioperative CRCs in needs of large consumption(≥8 U).
ObjectiveTo guide the clinical rational use of blood by retrospective analysis of red blood cell transfusion in orthopedic patients. MethodsRandom checked 98 medical documents with transfusion record in a third-grade class-A hospital from 2013 to 2014. Restrictive transfusion group was adopted in 41 patients whose concentration of hemoglobin (Hb) was less than 70 g/L before transfusion. Liberal transfusion group was adopted in 57 patients whose Hb was less than 100 g/L. The outcomes were compared afterwards. ResultsAsignificant differences was seen between the two groups with respect to the initial Hb (P <0.01). No significant difference was observed in the volume of blood transfused,the blood lost,and the length of hospital stay.

KDIGO3 patients’ survival rates, renal function improved survival rates, average length of stay, treatment costs and CBP treatment’s total ultrafiltration had no significant difference with patients in group of APACHEⅡscore>25(P>0.05). ConclusionThe blood purification treatment on the patients in the period of KDIGO1 and 2 can significantly improve the therapeutic effect.
ObjectiveThis study was to investigate the expression and significance of miR-125a-3p in peripheral blood of Acute myeloid leukemia patients. MethodsReal-time fluorescent quantitative PCR was performed to detect the expression levels of miR-125a-3p in peripheral blood specimens of 119 AML patients, including 53 newly diagnosed, 12 relapsed and 54 treated patients. In addition, 12 healthy persons were selected as normal controls. Moreover, 7 persons were selected randomly from newly diagnosed patients for dynamic monitoring of miR-125a-3p levels in peripheral blood. ResultsCompared with normal controls, the expression levels of miR-125a-3p were decreased significantly in newly diagnosed and relapsed patients (P<0.05). However, miR-125a-3p expression in treated patients were increased (P> 0.05). The researchers compared respectively the expression levels of miR-125a-3p in different FAB subtypes of newly diagnosed and treated patients and found that there were no significant differences among various subtypes in newly diagnosed patients (P>0.05). In treated patients, the expression of miR-125a-3p in M4 patients was significantly higher than it in M0 (P<0.05), however, the differences between other subtype patients were not significant (P>0.05). Dynamic monitoring of miR-125a-3p levels of 7 patients showed that miR-25a-3p expression maintained a higher level in the process of the treatment; when one patient with remission relapsed after 4~5 courses of treatment, miR-125a-3p expression reduced again. ConclusionThe expression of miR-125a-3p is obviously decreased in patients with newly diagnosed and relapsed AML, and chemotherapy arises the expression level, which may be related with the occurrence and development of AML. Thus miR-125a-3p is expected to become a biological marker of AMLin evaluating for therapy efficacy and monitoring.

Id-1 protein was positively related to that of VEGF (rs=0.809, P <0.05) and MMP-9 (rs=0.837, P <0.05). ConclusionThis study reveals that Id-1, VEGF and MMP-9 takes part in development and progression of cervical carcinoma. Both VEGF and MMP-9 ,and Id-1 are important biomarkers in the of diagnosis and prognosis of cervical carcinoma.
ObjectiveThe study was aimed to analyze the changing expression levels of Th22 Cells and its cytokines in patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and its clinical significance. MethodsClinical data of patients with acute lymphoblastic leukemia received treatment at our hospital from 2008 to 2014 was analyzed as Group A. The healthy controls were enrolled as Group B. ResultsA total of 78 patients were analyzed, Group A consisted of 43 cases and Group B 35 cases. Group A had lower level of Th22 cells, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-22 than these of Group B (P<0.001), and had a higher levels of TGF-β than that of Group B (P<0.001). After treatment, Group A patients had a significant improvement in Th22 cells, TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-22 (P<0.001), and a great decrease in TGF-β (P<0.001). The correlation analysis indicated the level of IL-22 Group A had a significant positive correlation with the level of TNF-α (r =0.699,P<0 .001), and a significant negative correlation with the level of TGF-β (r =-0.731,P<0.001). Group A patients were divided into two groups by the levels of Th22 cells as Group A1 (≥0.71) and Group A2 (<0.71). Group A1 patients had lower recurrence rate than that of Group A2 (9.09%,2/22 vs 38.10%,8/21;Log-rank χ2 =3.963,P =0.047). ConclusionThe decrease of Th22 cells and down-regulation of IL-22 expression level may be related with pathogenesis of acute lymphocytic leukemia, and can be used in evaluating treatment effects.
