ABSTRACT
Objective To Pulse oximetry saturation has been wildly used clinically.It has been reported that pulse oximetry plethysmographic waveform (POP) reflected the peripheral tissue perfusion.In this study,we parameterized POP,observed the value of POP parameters in normal adults,and established the normal reference value range.Methods A multi-center prospective descriptive study.Total of 1 019 adult volunteers with normovolemia from 7 cities were enrolled in this study.Sex,age,height,weight and pulse oximetry data in awake and spontaneous breathing under in quiet conditions in the room temperature were collected.POP parameters and perfusion index were analyzed using MATLAB 2012a software.The normal reference value ranges of POP parameters,including the amplitude of POP (Amp) and the area under the curve of POP (AUC),were formulated.Results Statistical differences of POP parameters were detected between men and women in the normal adult.The 95％ confidence reference value of POP parameters in normal population was as follows:Amp (104.8-2298.7) PVA and AUC (3265.8-6028.5) PVPGin total,Amp (129.4-2433.6) PVA and AUC (3319.0-5862.2) PVPG in male;Amp (89.5-2138.2) PVA and AUC (3163.9-5929.9) PVPG in female.Conclusions POP,including the amplitude of POP (Amp) and the area under the curve of POP (AUC),had normal reference value ranges in normal adults.
ABSTRACT
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is the most comonly used method facing cardiac arrest.The 2010 CPR guidelines emphasized high quality chest compressions and recommended continuous compression for 2 minutes after defibrillation to minimize interruptions in compressions.However,starting chest compressions immediately after a defibrillation shock may be harmful,if the heart is providing spontaneous beats and being subjected to external compressions at the same time.So it is very important to recognize ROSC during CPR,the methods of which include touching the pulse,amplitude spectral area,partial pressure end-tidal carbon dioxide,coronary perfusion pressure,central venous oxygen saturation,chest compression fraction,regional cerebral oxygen saturation,photoplethysmography,conjunctival oxygen tension,transthoracic-impedance plethysmography and echocardiography.This paper gives a review of the ROSC prognosis and recognition methods during CPR.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To study the distribution of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase(PARP) pseudogene polymorphism and the association with susceptibility to lung cancer in Chinese people.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The subjects of this study included 63 patients with lung cancer and 82 healthy controls matched in gender and age. Genome DNA was extracted from white blood cells. Products from PCR with a pair of specific primer were electrophoresized in agarose including EB. Under ultraviolet, observation and imaging were performed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>There was no significant difference in genotype between the cases and controls. The frequencies of B allele in cases and controls were 0.095 and 0.116 respectively. Whether there was B allele or not, smoking was a risk factor of lung cancer (P<0.05). As the genotype was AA and AB or BB, smoking OR was 2.28 and 4.83 respectively. Among non-smokers, the risk at lung cancer did not increase in AB or BB genotypes(P=0.202).</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>Frequency of B allele is relatively lower in Chinese people than in other races. In smokers, B allele may be a susceptible marker of lung cancer, and there is synergistic function between B allele and smoking.</p>
