RESUMO
Objective To explore the effect of low-dose low molecular weight heparin(LMWH) on acute lung injury(ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS).Methods Thirty-six male SD rats were divided into 3 groups:normal control group(A),LPS group(B) and LPS plus LMWH group(C),12 cases in each group.ALI was induced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS 6 mg/kg in group B,C.The group C accepted intraperitoneal injection of LMWH 100 U/kg,the groups B accepted intraperitoneal injection of the same volume of normal saline.The animals were killed after 6 h,the pathological changes of the lung were observed under light microscope.Arterial blood gases,lung wet to dry ratio (W/D) and protein content in BALF were detected;the levels of MPO and MDA in lung tissue were determined.The levels of serum interleukin1β(IL-1β),IL-6 and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were determined by ELISA method.Results The PaO2 and pH values in the group B and C were significantly lower than those in the group A,and which in the group C were markedly increased compared with those in the group B(P＜0.05);the lung W/D ratio,protein content in BALF,MDA and MPO levels in the lung tissue in the group B and C were significantly higher than those in the group A(P＜0.01),while the lung W/D ratio,protein content in BALF,MDA and MPO levels in the lung tissue in the group C were significantly decreased compared with the group B (P＜0.05).The levels of plasma TNF-α,IL-1β and IL-6 levels in the group B and C were markedly increased compared with the group A,while which in the group C were significantly decreased compared with those in the group B (P＜0.01).Conclusion The LMWH treatment might attenuate LPS-induced acute lung injury.

RESUMO
Objective To investigate the protective effect of standard dose prednisone(starting dose about 0.4 mg/kg bw) combined with glutamine(2 g/d) for Graves' ophthalmopathy(GO) after 131I treatment.Methods The prospective randomized controlled trial was performed and included 116 consecutive patients with mild-to-moderate GO or no active GO after 131I treatment,but with high risk factors.The experimental group(59 cases) started to take oral prednisone(0.44 ± 0.13)mg/kg at 2 d atter theatment,meanwhile replenishing glutamine,and prednisone was gradually decreased by 5mg per 2 weeks and stopped until 2 months;the control group(57 cases) received the initial dose prednisone(0.43± 0.14)mg/kg without replenishing glutamine,and the rest was same as the experimental group.The GO change and prednisone adverse reactions in 2,4,6 months after treatment were evalua ted in the two groups.Results The baseline characteristics had no significant difference between the two groups.In comparison of the experimental group and control group after 6-month treatment,the CAS score was (2.8 ± 0.8 vs.3.5 ± 0.9),exophthalmos degree was (19.6±8.1)mm vs.(21.7±3.0)mm,eyelid width was (11.3±2.9)mm vs.(13.8±3.1)mm,the improvement degree in the experimental group except for degree was superior to the control group (P＜0.01).No new onset GO or deterioation oc curred in the two groups;the experimental group had 42 cases(71.2 ％) of GO improvement and 17 cases(28.8 ％) of stability,while the control group had 39 cases(68.4％) of GO improvement and 18 cases(31.6％) of stability,and the curative effects had no sttis-tical difference between the two groups(P＞0.05).The side effects in the control group were more than those in the experimental group(63.1％ vs.30.5％,P＜0.05).the body mass increase was more obvious [(3.8±1.8) kg vs.(1.4±1.2)kg,P＜0.01],and SBP and DBP in the two groups were slightly increased[(10±4)mm Hg vs.(9±5)mm Hg P＞0.05].Conclusion Using the initial dose of oral prednisone(about 0.4 mg/kg) for 2 months and simultaneously replenishing glutamine (2 g/d)can effectively improve mild-moderate GO,and effectively reduce the adverse reactions of GC.However it is needed to extend the follow-up time to assess whether it can truly prevent the deterioration of GO,and to conduct a further study for the role of glutamine.
RESUMO
Objective To compare the effects of standard decompressive craniectomy (DC) vs.combined cisternostomy on severe traumatic brain injury (STBI).Methods Seventy-two patients with severe brain injury were divided into standard decompressive craniectomy group (control group,n=34) and DC combined cisternostomy group (treatment group,n=38).The clinical parameters from pre-and post-surgery were compared between the two groups.Results There was no statistical difference in clinical data including gander,age,injury causes,GSC score,Helsinki CT score and operative opportunity between two groups before surgery (P＞0.05).The treatment group was inferior in the duration of decompression (2.8±0.4 h vs.2.5±0.3 h,P＜0.05) relative to control treatment group.However,treatment group were superior to control group in the mean time of admission in neuro-intensive care unit (5.54±3.09 d vs.7.24±2.74 d,P＜0.01),the cumulative time of intracranial pressure (ICP) more than 20 nmHg within seven days after surgery(23.2±4.4 h vs.56.8±8.3 h,P＜0.01),Helsinki CT scores at postoperative day (3(2,5) vs.5(2,9),P＜ 0.01)and Glasgow Outcome Scores (GOS) at 3 month after surgery (P＜0.01).Conclusion DC combined with cisternostomy for STBI is significantly better than standard decompressive craniectomy,which is worth further study by multicenter clinical trials.
