Objective To investigate the relationship of the expression between heat shock protein (HSP) 70 and 90, and Survivin and its effects on the proliferative activity in retinoblastoma (RB) cells. Methods Expression of Survivin, HSP70 and 90, and Ki-67 in conventional paraffin samples from 43 patients with RB and 6 healthy people was detected by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (SP) immunohistochemical method. Ki67 labeling index was used to evaluate the proliferative activity in RB. Results In 43 cases of RB, positive expression of HSP70 and 90 and Survivin was found in 28 (65.12%), 37 (86.05%) and 27 (62.79%) cases, respectively. None of the 6 normal retinal tissue expressed HSP70, HSP90 or Survivin. Positive expression of Survivin was more frequent in positive expressions of HSP90 than that in negative expressions of HSP90 (P<0.05). Ki67 labeling index was higher in positive expressions of HSP90 and positive expressions of Survivin than that in their negative expressions respectively (P<0.05). Meanwhile, higher Ki67 labeling index was found in positive HSP90Survivin expressions than that in negative HSP90Survivin expressions and those cases where only HSP90 or Survivin was found (P<0.05). Expression of HSP70 did not correlate with that of Survivin, nor had any significant effect on Ki67 labeling index (P>0.05). Expression of HSPs and Survivin and Ki67 labeling index did not correlate with histological types (P>0.05). Conclusion Expression of HSP90 correlates with that of Survivin in RB. Co-existence of Survivin and HSP90 probably plays an important role in the genesis of RB.

Cardiogenic shock (CS) describes a physiological state of end-organ hypoperfusion characterized by reduced cardiac output in the presence of adequate intravascular volume. Mortality still remains exceptionally high. Veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA ECMO) has become the preferred device for short-term hemodynamic support in patients with CS. ECMO provides the highest cardiac output, complete cardiopulmonary support. In addition, the device has portable characteristics, more familiar to medical personnel. VA ECMO provides cardiopulmonary support for patients in profound CS as a bridge to myocardial recovery. This review provides an overview of VA ECMO in salvage of CS, emphasizing the indications, management and further direction.
Objective To study the effects of heat shock proteins (HSPs) in the course of hepatic ischemia reperfusion injury (HIRI), and analyze its mechanism. Methods The relationship between HSPs and HIRI was studied by reviewing literatures. Results HSPs was a kind of stress protein induced after cell was sitmulated by the stress. It could improve body′s tolerance to tough situation. Though hepatic ischemia reperfusion usually results in serious hepatic injury, at the same time it could induce can increase the production of HSPs that can protect liver from and lessen ischemia reperfusion injury. Conclusion HSPs can improve the tolerance to HIRI and lessen injury. In addition, HSPs is thought to be markers of HIRI, and can be used as a efficient indicator to test the level of hepatic injury and assess prognosis.
Objective To explore the clinical effects of emergency transcatheter aortic replacement (TAVR) on the treatment of patients with acute refractory heart failure or cardiogenic shock secondary to severe aortic stenosis during hospitalization. Methods The study selected 44 patients from 8 heart valve centers from January 2018 to January 2021. All patients received emergency TAVR treatment. The patients’ baseline clinical data, cardiac ultrasound indicators, and postoperative hospital stay were collected. Paired t-test and McNemar test were used to compare and analyze the preoperative and postoperative cardiac ultrasound indexes, moderate to severe aortic stenosis, and cardiac function. Results The average age of the patients was (72.0±7.9) years. Valve displacement occurred in one patient during the operation, and the surgical success rate was 97.7%. Four cases died during hospitalization, and the mortality rate was 9.1%. The median length of hospital stay was 11.5 d. The postoperative aortic valve area was significantly higher than that before surgery [(0.5±0.2) vs. (3.8±1.6) mm2, P<0.05], the mean transvalvular pressure of the aortic valve was significantly lower than that before operation [(64.0±24.9) vs. (11.3±4.6) mm Hg (1 mm Hg=0.133 kPa), P<0.05], the peak aortic flow velocity was significantly lower than that before operation [(4.5±0.7) vs. (1.9±0.7) m/s, P<0.05], the left ventricular end diastolic inner diameter was lower than that before operation [(59.0±7.2) vs. (56.1±7.3) mm, P<0.05], the left ventricular ejection fraction increased significantly compared with that before operation [(30.1±10.4)% vs. (40.9±11.0)%, P<0.05], and the cardiac function improved significantly compared with that before operation (P<0.05). During the operation, 2 cases (4.5%) underwent valve-in-valve implantation, 11 cases (25.0%) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention during the same period. During the postoperative hospital stay, 1 case (2.3%) developed stroke, 3 cases (6.8%) experienced severe bleeding, 5 cases (11.4%) had severe vascular complications, 2 cases (4.5%) experienced acute myocardial infarction, 30 cases (68.2%) had small or trace paravalvular regurgitation, 3 cases (6.8%) received permanent pacemaker implantation, and 5 cases (11.4%) developed acute kidney injury. Conclustion Emergency TAVR is an effective and feasible treatment plan for patients with acute refractory heart failure or cardiogenic shock secondary to severe aortic stenosis.
Objective To evaluate the effects and the clinical significances of liquid resuscitation on blood gas analysis, acid-base balance, electrolytes, acute physiology and chronic health evaluationsⅡ(APACHEⅡ) score of patients with septic shock, and then to analyze the relations between serum chlorine (Cl-) level and APACHEⅡscore and the volume of liquid resuscitation. Methods According to the target of resuscitation (centre venous pressure 8-12mm Hg and mean arterial pressure≥65mm Hg), 21 patients with septic shock received enough fluid for resuscitation during 24h . The results of blood gas analysis, acid-base balance, electrolytes, and APACHE Ⅱ score were compared between pre-resuscitation and 24h post-resuscitation by self-controlled prospective study. The relationships of the level of serum Cl- and APACHEⅡ score with the volume of liquid used in resuscitation were analyzed . Results The mean resus-citation duration was (18.09±4.57) h, and the volume of liquid during 24 h resuscitation was 5 320-11 028mL with mean volume of (7 775±1 735) mL in 21 patients with septic shock. Serum sodium (Na+, mmol/L) and Cl-(mmol/L)levels of post-resuscitation were significant higher than those of pre-resuscitation (Na+:138.71±5.67 versus 135.62±7.23, P=0.024;Cl-:109.10±4.90 versus 101.67±8.59, P=0.000). Compared with the levels of pre-resuscitation, the blood pH value, hematocrit (Hct,%), anion gap (AG, mmol/L), lactic acid (mmol/L), and APACHE Ⅱscore significantly decreased (pH:7.31±0.05 versus 7.37±0.06, P=0.000;Hct:28.48±2.56 versus 32.76±9.19, P=0.049;AG:8.33±3.45 versus 14.17±8.83, P=0.004;lactic acid:1.66±0.89 versus 2.96±1.23, P=0.001;APACHEⅡ:10.90±3.73 versus 17.24±4.06, P=0.000) after 24h resuscitation. The correlation analysis showed that the level of serum Cl- was positively correlated with the volume of liquid used in resuscitation (r=0.717,P<0.01). However, there was no correlation between APACHEⅡscore and the volume of liquid used in resuscitation (P>0.05). Conclusions The target of liquid resuscitation in patients with septic shock should be cautiously determined, including control of the volume of crystal liquid for resuscitation, in order to avoid acid-base imbalance or hyperchloraemia. At the same time, the change in internal environment should be monitored. An optimistic fluid resuscitation to decrease APACHE Ⅱ score in patients with septic shock is unrelated to the volume of liquid resuscitation.
