目的:研究低氧性肺动脉高压大鼠对实验性红细胞增多的适应。方法:健康SD大鼠28只,体重200～250 g,随机分为4组:常氧对照组（N）、单纯低氧组（H）、低氧+低剂量人重组促红细胞生成素（rEPO） 600 u/kg（H+E1）组、低氧+高剂量rEPO 1200 u/kg（H+E2）组,每组7只大鼠。除常氧对照组外各低氧组大鼠均缺氧21 d,每日8 h。其中后两组每周腹部皮下注射不同剂量的rEPO三次。取血样测定红细胞数、全血粘度及红细胞变形指数；颈外静脉插管测定平均肺动脉压力；光镜观察反映肺动脉重构程度的形态学参数肺小动脉管壁厚度百分比、肺非肌性小动脉肌化程度。结果:①随着rEPO注射剂量的增加,红细胞、全血粘度有不同程度的增高；②全血粘度增高的同时红细胞变形指数也相应地增加；③随着rEPO剂量的增加,平均肺动脉压力逐渐增高,但是肺血管重构程度反而有所缓解。结论:实验性红细胞增多通过改变红细胞变形性和缓解肺血管重构程度来阻遏低氧性肺动脉高压的进一步发展。
Objective To investigate the safety of thoracic surgery for high-altitude patients in local medical center. MethodsWe retrospectively collected 258 high-altitude patients who received thoracic surgery in West China Hospital, Sichuan University (plain medical center, 54 patients) and People's Hospital of Ganzi Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture (high-altitude medical center, 204 patients) from January 2013 to July 2019. There were 175 males and 83 females with an average age of 43.0±16.8 years. Perioperative indicators, postoperative complications and related risk factors of patients were analyzed. ResultsThe rate of minimally invasive surgery in the high-altitude medical center was statistically lower than that in the plain medical center (11.8% vs. 55.6%, P<0.001). The surgical proportions of tuberculous empyema (41.2% vs. 1.9%, P<0.001) and pulmonary hydatid (15.2% vs. 0.0%, P=0.002) in the high-altitude medical center were statistically higher than those in the plain medical center. There was no statistical difference in perioperative mortality (0.5% vs. 1.9%, P=0.379) or complication rate within 30 days after operation (7.4% vs. 11.1%, P=0.402) between the high-altitude center and the plain medical center. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that body mass index≥25 kg/m2 (OR=8.647, P<0.001) and esophageal rupture/perforation were independent risk factors for the occurrence of postoperative complications (OR=15.720, P<0.001). ConclusionThoracic surgery in the high-altitude medical center is safe and feasible.

Methods We collected and analyzed the general information, preoperative diagnosis and complications of 367 patients living in highland area and 167 patients living in inland between February 2009 and May 2010. There was no significant difference between the two groups in sex, age and course of disease (Pgt;0.05). Cholecystolithiasis was the main disease followed by gallbladder polyps, and there was no difference between them in the kind of diseases (Pgt;0.05). The incidence of hypertension, coronary heart disease, hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin and sinus bradycardia was higher in patients in highland area than that in patients in non-highland area (Plt;0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of lung disease, liver cirrhosis, diabetes mellitus and cerebral infarction between the two groups (Pgt;0.05). Conventional laparoscopic cholecystectomy was conducted in both two groups. Comparative analysis of treatment outcome and postoperative complications was done. Results The rate of conversion from laparoscopic surgery to laparotomy in Tibetan patients (7.1%) was higher than that in patients in non-highland area (2.4%) (Plt;0.05). Hospitalization time, operation time and blood loss in Tibetan patients were significantly higher than those in patients in non-highland area (Plt;0.05), but there was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups of patients (Pgt;0.05). Conclusions Laparoscopic cholecystectomy for patients in highlardarea should be converted to laparotomy when necessary. Appropriate perioperative management is helpful in reducing the incidence of postoperative complications.
ObjectiveTo study the distribution of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), type Ⅰ collagen cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX) and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP)-5b in plateau area builders, and analyze the influencing factors under plateau environment. MethodsBetween April and May, 2014, using random stratified cluster sampling, we included in our study 650 blood samples from the power grid construction people in Batang County of Ganzi Autonomous Prefecture of Sichuan Province and Mangkang County of Tibet Autonomous Region with an altitude ranging from 2 600 to 4 450 meters, averaging (3 586.50±610.85) meters. We collected their fasting blood and detected their TRAP-5b, CTX and BALP by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay method. By using SPSS 13.0, we analyzed the relationship between TRAP-5b, CTX, BALP and the influencing factors such as age, working intensity, residence time in the plateau area and altitude of the plateau. In the end, we tried to find out the main influencing factors of bone metabolic markers in the plateau environment.ResultsThe levels of CTX, BALP and TRAP-5b were the highest before the age of 20, and the average levels of them were respectively (1.04±0.38) ng/mL, (52.09±14.62) μg/L, and (4.22±1.38) U/L. With the increase of age, the levels of CTX, TRAP-5b and BALP showed a downward trend, but CTX and BALP reached the lowest level in the age group of 40 to 49 years old, and the average levels of CTX and BALP were (0.44±0.26) ng/mL and (24.77±9.89) μg/L, respectively. Then they gradually increased after the age of 50. TRAP-5b reached the lowest level in the age group of 30 to 39 years old, and the average level of TRAP-5b was (2.59±0.95) U/L. Then it gradually increased after the age of 40. The activity of CTX and BALP increased obviously with the increase of altitude. With the increase of labor intensity, BALP, TRAP-5b and CTX all increased. However, no matter what labor intensity, the bone formation marker BALP first increased and then decreased with the plateau residence time, while the bone absorption marker TRAP-5b increased after the first reduction.ConclusionsBone metabolic markers are different in different age groups. Altitude, working intensity and plateau working time have significant effects on bone metabolism markers.
Objective To assess the acute high altitude sickness (AHAS) and its risk factors among public health emergency responders, so as to provide scientific proof for guaranteeing the safety and health of emergency rescue workers. Methods?The self-administered questionnaire aim at learning AHAS occurrence and its risk factors were distributed to 67 members from 4 teams at different altitudes selected among 35 rescue teams. The AHAS could be diagnosed by a total score of more than or equal to 5 within 3 days since arrival, as in the following detail: 1-3 score could be assigned in accordance with the following symptoms in degrees of the mild, moderate or severe, respectively: headache, nausea or vomiting, lassitude, dizziness and blurred vision, and sleep disorder; and 1 score could be assigned for each of the following symptoms: palpitation, shortness of breath, nosebleed, chest distress, diarrhea, constipation, cyanochroia of the lips, numbness in hands and feet, and dry cough. Results?A total of 54 among 67 (81%) responders completed the questionnaire, among whom 93% were males and the median age was 36 with the scope from 24 to 55, and 63% (34 respondents) developed AHAS. The univariate analysis showed that the altitude of the responders’ original residence (10 score for “lt;100 m” vs. 5.2 score for “gt;1 000 m”, P=0.005), experiences in high altitude areas (10 score for “having not” vs. 6.4 score for “having”, P=0.039), length of stay in an area over 2 000 m altitude before arrival (9.4 score for “≥3 days” vs. 5.7 score for “≤1 day”, P=0.011), luggage weight (9.8 score for “≥25 kg” vs. 5.5 score for “lt;25 kg”, P=0.002) were correlated with AHAS severity. The multivariate linear regression indicated that the lower altitude of the responders’ original residence and the short stay in an area over 2000m altitude before arrival were the factors influencing the severity of AHAS. The linear regression formulation was Y= 2.89 - 0.187 × the altitude of the responders’ original residence (pre 100m) + 2.43 × the length of stay in an area over 2000m altitude before arriving at Yushu (day). Conclusions?The past experiences and the pre-arrival preparation are critical factors of AHAS. Measures should be taken to protect the safety and health of responders dispatched to high altitude areas.
