Objective To evaluate the feasibility, and clinical efficacy of combined interventional procedure (CIP) in composite cardiovascular diseases (CCD). Methods Twenty one consecutive patients were diagnosed as CCD before the procedures. The algorithm of CIP were individualized by the operators and physicians. The criteria for a successful procedure were defined before the operation. The counterplan for predictable complications was also established beforehand. The successful rate, short and long term efficacy, the incidence of complications and adverse reaction associated with contrast medium and X-ray were observed. All the patients were followed up through special out-patient clinic, telephone, or letters. Results Seven cases accepted electrophysiological testing(EPT) + radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA)+coronary angiogram (CAG)+percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)+stent implantation (SI). Four cases accepted CAG+PTCA+SI+EPT. Three cases accepted EPT+RFCA+CAG. Six cases accepted CAG+PTCA+SI+peripheral artery angiogram (PAG). One cases accepted pacemaker implantation (PI)+CAG+PTCA+SI+percutaneous transluminal septal myocardial ablation (PTSMA). The symptoms of arrhythmia disappeared or alleviater in 19 cases during hospiatalization. Arrhythmia recurred in 2 cases 12 hours after the procedure and accepted RFCA again. No severe complications and adverse reaction occured. The successful rate was 90.5 percent. Two cases suffered from recurrent angina during the follow-up period and one of them had in-stent restenosis proved by CAG and accepted PTCA+SI again. The other patient received medicine therapy. Conclusion Combined interventional procedure operated by experienced interventional cardiologist in a conditioned catheterization laboratory is safe and feasible. The short-term outcomes are satisfied. The long-term outcomes will be proved by accumulating more cases' data. Individualized approaches, counterplans for complications and cautious operation are important to a successful procedure.

Objective The aim of the study is to explore the relationship of lung infection(LI)and multiple organ failure in the elderly(MOFE).Methods Consecutive patients ,who were admitted to the Institute of Geriatric Cardiovascular Diseases of the PLA General Hospital and the Endocardial Department of the Air Force General Hospital,withage≥65 years old were enrolled into 5 groups retrospectively by following criteria:acute LI alone,LI with the first presentation of acute lung edema,chronic bronchitis complicated with LI,chronic heart failure complicated with LI,and nic bronchitis and heart failure complicated with LI.Results Sixty-eight patients were selected of(72.5?7.6)years old ( 38 male).There were 4 cases of pure LI(4%),12 cases of LI firstly presented with the symptoms of acute lung edema(18%),16 cases of LI complicated with chronic bronchitis(24%),15 cases of LI based on chronic heart failure(22%)and 22 cases of LI complicated with chronic bronchitis and heart failure(32%).LI initiated MOFE in 25 cases(37%).Most of them were developed on the basis of chronic bronchitis and/or heart failure(34%).Mortality of secondary LI was higher than that of the primary LI(7.4% VS 0%,P

Sensitivity toward pictorial sexual information was tested implicitly in 448 servicemen from four different arm services and 86 civilians. 20 pairs of pictures containing sex information for sensitivity test were screened out in prior-experiment, and then they were exposed to the test subjects with a 500 ms duration, in order to find out the difference in the subjects' preference in selecting sexual and non-sexual information pictures. The result showed that, compared with the civilians, all the four groups of servicemen showed stronger inclination in selection of sexual information pictures, however there was no group difference or gender difference. The results also suggested that, implicit experiment with paired pictures could be one kind of reliable and effective method in studying sex information sensitivity.

In order to study the mental health status of military personnel under settings of special military operations, 1 263 officers and crew of a submarine base, 361 officers and crew of a naval base and 753 officers and soldiers of a missile base were subjected to SCL-90 scale evaluation. The results were compared with mililary norms and civilian norms. It was revealed that SCL-90 of all the members of three groups had higher scores on every factor compared with the eivilion norms. Besides somatic factors, the scores of other factors were also higher than that of military norms. The results suggested that certain special military operation settings could exert negative impact on the mental health status of military personnel. An analysis of the results also showed that the greatest impact was found in submarine and naval officers and crew, as well as in missile troops, indicating that highly enclosed settings could strongly influence the mental health of individuals.

The antagonistic effects of phentolamin(PL) and tolasuline(TS) on norepinephrine(NE)-induced vasoconstriction were investigated in vitro on aortic rings of normotensive and spontaneously hypertensive rats in Kreb-Henseilet solution containing 40?IU/ml insulin.The results showed that in the presence of high level insulin,the antagonistic actions of ?-receptor blocking agents,PL and TS,were markedly decreased.The pharmacodynamic parameters indicated that the affinity index and action intensity of PL and TS were significantly reduced in solution containing high level insulin.The experimental results showed that high concentration insulin could decrease the antagonistic effects of ?-receptor blocking agents on NE-induced vasoconstriction.

Objective To explore the effect of aerobic exercise on platelet function in elderly patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.Methods81 elderly patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes were divided into the routine treatment group (group A, n=41) and regular exercise group (group B, n=40). All patients of two groups were treated with routine treatment. The exercise with moderate intensity was performed in the group B for 3 months besides routine treatment. The platelet membrane glycoprotein CD62P, CD61 (Ⅲa) were detected by flow cytometric analysis and platelet aggregating ratio was measured before and after regular aerobic exercise.ResultsAfter three months, the systolic blood pressures were 166±3.6 mm Hg (group A) and 152±3.5 mm Hg (group B); the diastolic blood pressures were 93±4.2 mm Hg (group A) and 83±4.3 mm Hg (group B); the contents of blood glucose were 7.4±2.4 mmol/L (group A) and 6.3±1.9 mmol/L (group B); the positive percents of platelet membrane glycoproten CD62P were 27.3±2.2% (group A) and 21.5±3.3% (group B), CD61(Ⅲa) were 26.3±2.3% (group A) and 20.2±2.9% (group B) and platelet aggregation rates were 78.4±4.5% (group A) and 69.7±5.4% (group B), there was a significant difference between two groups ( P<0.05～0.01).ConclusionRegular aerobic exercise can decrease the positive percent of platelet membrane glycoprotein and platelet aggregation rate in elderly patients with hypertension and type 2 diabetes.

Objective To determine whether sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may lead to nocturnal myocardial ischemia and whether the severity of this ischemia may be relieved by nasal continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP). Methods Overnight polysomnogram examination and simultaneous 3-channel Holter monitoring were performed on 76 patients with moderate to severe SDB and no history of coronary heart disease. All the cases were treated with CPAP for one night. ST depression was defined as a ST segment decrease of more than 1 mm from baseline and lasting 1 min or more. The total duration (minutes) of ST depression was indexed to the total sleep time (minutes per hour of sleep). Results Twenty-eight patients (37%) showed ST segment depression during their sleep. Before CPAP treatment, the respiratory disturbance index (RDI) and arousal index were significantly higher during periods of ST depression than when ST segments were isoelectric, whereas no significant difference was found in blood oxygen saturation (SaO2). After the CPAP treatment of patients with ST depression, the duration of ST depression was significantly reduced from 36.8±18.9 to 11.4±13.2 min/h (P＜0.05). ST depression-related indexes, including RDI, arousal index and the percentage of sleep time spent at SaO2 below 90% (TS90/ TST), were all significantly decreased, with RDI from 63.4±23.8 to 8.1±6.6 /h, arousal index from 51.2±18.9 to 9.6±5.4 /h, and TS90/ TST from 50.6±21.4 to 12.9±14.7% (P＜0.05). Conclusion ST-segment depression is rather common in patients with moderate to severe SDB, and CPAP treatment can significantly reduce the duration of ST depression. ST depression in these patients may reflect the myocardial ischemia that really exists and the non-ischemic changes associated with recurrent SDB.

ObjectiveTo investigate safety and efficacy of one-stage pedicle screw fixation plus 360° spinal canal decompression and reconstruction in treatment of severe thoracolumbar burst fractures.MethodsThe study reviewed 11 patients (8 males and 3 females, at age range of 19-59 years, mean 34.4 years) with severe thoracolumbar burst fracture, who underwent one-stage posterior pedicle screw fixation, 360° spinal canal decompression and reconstruction. The injury location was at T12 in one patient, at L1 in three, at L2 in two, at L3 in three and at L4 in two. According to AO classification, all patients were with type A 3.3 fractures. McCormack load score was 7-9 points ( average 8.2 points). Based on the Frankel' s scale, the spinal cord function was classified as grade A in one patient, grade B in one,grade C in five and grade D in four. ResultsAll the operations accomplished successfully, with operation duration for 3.5-4.5 hours ( mean 4.1 hours) , blood loss for 900-2 800 ml ( mean 1 750 ml) and allogeneic blood transfusion for 400-1 200 ml ( average 760 ml). There was no complication either during or after operation. The loss rate of the anterior vertebrae column height was 48％ -85％ ( average 64.2％ )before operation and recovered to 95％ -100％ (average 98.6％ ) of the normal. The kyphotic Cobb angle was at -12°-35 ° ( average 12.1 ° ) before operation and recovered to - 30°-7 ° ( average - 8.1 ° ) after operation. The spinal canal stenosis rate was improved remarkably. The patients were followed up for 10-18 months (average 14. 5 months), which showed solid bone fusion, with no implant failure. The spinal cord function was improved Ⅰ to Ⅲ degrees in all patients except for one patient at grade A. One patient had mild lower back pain.ConclusionsOne-stage pedicle screw fixation plus 360° spinal canal decompression and reconstruction is a good alternative for severe thoracolumbar burst fracture, but it is essential for choosing strictly the surgical indications.

With the rapid development of tumor subjects and the advance of medical technology,tumor mortality is declining in spite of the increase in tumor incidence.The male survivors pay more and more attention to their prognosis to improve the quality of their life.In the meantime,whether they could produce their own offspring become the main concern of tumor patients with good prognosis.However,until now,male tumor patients,their relatives,different social sectors and even some of our health workers,havent noticed the importance of fertility preservation and long-term fertility desires of male patients with tumor which will lead to declined or even irreversible sterility induced by the lack of fertility preservation before anti-tumor therapy.It's an important way to do fertility counseling,learn the risk of their treatment plans and choose the appropriate technique of fertility preservation which will improve prognosis quality of life of male tumor patients.This article will review the effects of tumor and the treatment on male fertility,their subjective needs and concerns,main methods for fertility preservation and the domestic and foreign research present situation.

Objective To compare the feasibility of multi-slices computed tomography(MSCT)versus coronary angiography(CAG)for identification of myocardial bridges and mural coronary artery(MB-MCA).Methods For 76 patients suspecting coronary heart disease the MSCT and CAG were performed for the coronary imaging.The MB-MCAs were identified on the CT images and angiograms by radiologists and cardiologists separately and independently before and after consulting each other.The data was statistically analyzed using ?2-squrae test.Results Before consulting each other,29 MB-MCA in 27 patients and 2 MB-MCA in two cases were detected using MSCT and CAG by radiologists and cardiologist separately and independently with significant difference statistically(?2=10.52,P
