Delivery during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support of pregnant woman with severe respiratory distress syndrome caused by influenza: a case report and review of the literature

Objective: To report a case of labour induction during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support in a patient with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) caused by influenza and review of the literature.

Methods: Case report and the literature search of all English articles on delivery while on ECMO in patients with ARDS caused by influenza.

Results: A 25-year-old pregnant woman was initiated with ECMO due to severe ARDS caused by influenza A (H1N1) virus. When the patient had symptoms of colporrhagia and uterine contractions, the medical team decided to start labour induction while on ECMO. There were in total five case reports identified. Maternal oxygenation was improved after delivery and ECMO was successfully discontinued.

Conclusions: Maternal oxygenation was improved after delivery, which may be beneficial to reduce the duration of ECMO. Caesarean section (CS) may be the most used mode and labour induction could be another option. The procedure should be performed by an experienced ECMO team, cooperating with the obstetrician, anaesthesiologist, and ICU doctors.     

药品压价只能是权宜之计

现在我们确实面临很多问题,百姓对看病贵的反应,除了百姓的直觉外还有一些指标可以反映,如国内外公认的费用水平衡量指标:卫生费用占本国GDP的百分比,目前我国卫生费用已经占到GDP的5％左右,是历史上的最高点了。但是和一些发达国家比,我们国家的卫生费用水平还是偏低的,大家普遍认为7％至 8％是相对合理的水平。     

不同区域晶状体上皮细胞基因表达差异分析

【目的】比较不同区域猪晶状体上皮细胞的基因表达在转录组水平上的差异。【方法】解剖显微镜下分离晶状体前囊膜，将附着于其上的上皮细胞分为中央（直径为10．56mm）和周边两部分。分别提取两个样本的总RNAs并经PCR扩增，以Cy3和Cy5分别标记扩增的中央与周边部分的cDNA。与含7548个基因的表达谱芯片杂交，经图像分析，生物信息学处理获得基因表达在转录水平差异的相关信息。【结果】中央与周边区域的猪晶状体上皮细胞在转录组水平共鉴定出952个有效表达的基因点，其中差异表达基因261个．以中央区域为参照，周边上皮细胞mRNA上调137个，下调124个。差异表达基因主要涉及的功能有：细胞周期与凋亡、细胞骨架蛋白及细胞外基质、转录、细胞信号分子等。【结论】中央与周边区域猪晶状体上皮细胞基因表达在转录组水平上差异明显。这类差异呈明显的功能聚类。

用方剂计量学研究中的关联性分析法对《新方八阵》中补真阴、补真阳药物的应用与其他医家进行比较，印证了景岳重视阴中求阳、阳中求阴的思想，为方剂比较研究中关联指数与关联性分析的具体化内容之一。     

MR T2加权成像显示胆囊壁增厚点状高信号的意义

目的研究病理组织学证实的胆囊腺肌瘤病、慢性胆囊炎和管壁增厚型胆囊腺癌在MRL加权成像（T2WI）显示病变胆囊壁点状高信号的特征。方法38例患者（胆囊腺肌瘤病16例，慢性胆囊炎13例，管壁增厚型胆囊腺癌9例），每例均进行了MR常规T1WI、常规T2WI和3mm薄层T2WI及MR胰胆管成像（MRCP）。所有患者均接受了胆囊切除手术。2名高年资放射科医生共同分析不同序列MRI，观察胆囊壁增厚及T2WI显示病变胆囊壁点状高信号的不同表现，将观察结果与病理组织学检查所见对照。结果所有患者的胆囊壁均明显增厚，厚度范围5～15mm，平均9mm。T2WI显示病变胆囊壁存在各种各样的点状高信号，在胆囊腺肌瘤病，点状高信号分布于整个增厚的胆囊壁，且数量较多（5～15个／cm^2），较大（直径2～7mm），边界清楚，呈现中等至明显高信号；在慢性胆囊炎，点状高信号主要位于增厚胆囊壁的黏膜侧，数量较少（3～5个／cm^2），较小（直径2～4mm），边界清楚，呈中等至明显高信号；在管壁增厚型胆囊腺癌，点状高信号边界欠清，呈现稍高信号，其数量和大小差异较大，分布范围取决于癌组织浸润胆囊壁的深度。结论胆囊腺肌瘤病、慢性胆囊炎和管壁增厚型胆囊腺癌在T2WI呈现的点状高信号有一定差别，正确识别这些点状高信号的特征有助于鉴别诊断良恶性胆囊壁增厚。     

培养护生养成阅读药物说明书的习惯

同类药物因原料来源、附加成分和生产厂家不同而商品名称各异，有些名称相似的药物其性能却完全不同。临床实习护生常反映课本讲授的药物知识与临床用药相差甚远，不知如何记住所有的药物。为此，作者在临床教学中培养学生养成阅读药物说明书的习惯，收到良好效果。     

Structural shielding design for a gamma ray stereotactic body radiotherapy system.

An OUR-QGD gamma ray stereotactic body radiotherapy system (body knife), made in China, is described. According to its structure and the principle of gamma radiation revolved on a focus, the energy distribution of scattered radiation in its treatment room is calculated. The structural shielding of the wall, roof, and door for a certain treatment room is calculated according to the local radiation protection law.
