Objective: To compare the efifcacy between emergent and delayed stent implantation in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) after thrombus extraction.
Methods: A total of 82 STEMI patients who received thrombus extraction and intracoronary injection of tiroifban, sodium nitroprusside, nitroglycerin via thrombus extraction catheter and with recovered TIMI 3 lfow from 2012-11 to 2014-01 were retrospectively studied. The patients were randomized into 2 groups by SAS software: Emergent group, the patients received stent implantation immediately upon diagnosis and Delayed group, the patients were treated by anti-platelet and anticoagulant medication for 10-14 days, and then received stent implantation. n=41 in each group. The primary and secondary indicators were compared between 2 groups which including ST-segment resolution (STR), the occurrence rate of no-relfow/slow-relfow, myocardial blush grade (MBG) 3, parameters of stent, ventricular remodeling condition, the incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE).
Results: ①Delayed group had the post PCI STR at (68.2 ± 9.2)%, TIMI 3 grade at 97.5%, MBG 3 at 69.0%and corrected TIMI frame count (CTFC) at (19.5 ± 5.2), compared with Emergent group, P<0.05. The occurrence rate of no-relfow/slow-relfow in Delayed group and Emergent group were 2.5% and 31.0%, P<0.01. ②The parameters of stents in Delayed group and Emergent group were as the number at (1.21 ± 0.32) vs. (1.76 ± 0.76), the mean length at (28.3 ± 11.7) mm vs. (33.7 ± 12.9) mm, the mean diameter at (3.17 ± 0.76) mm vs. (2.82 ± 0.87) mm, all P<0.01. Delayed group had the higher dilating pressure than that in Emergent group, (18.5 ± 6.2) atm vs (13.6 ± 7.1) atm, P<0.01, and more patients in Delayed group receive high-pressure non-compliant balloon dilation 75% vs 23.8%, P<0.01. ③With 6 months of follow-up study, there were slightly declining trend for LVEF and LVSF in both groups than that at 1 week condition, P>0.05, while LVEDV and LVEDD increased than 1 week, P<0.05, the changes were more obvious in Emergent group, P<0.05. Delayed group had less MACE occurrence, P<0.05.
Conclusion: Delayed stent implantation in STEMI patients after thrombus extraction had reduced incidence of post PCI no-relfow/slow-relfow phenomenon, improved myocardial reperfusion and less MACE occurrence.

On account of the dense cuticles of the fresh stem and the light, hard and pliable texture of the dried stem, Dendrobii Caulis is difficult to dry or pulverize. So, it is very important to the ancient doctors that Dendrobii Caulis should be properly treated and applied to keep or evoke its medicinal effects. The current textual research results about the preliminary processing, processing and usage methods of Dendrobii Caulis showed that: (1) In history the clinical use of fresh or processed Dendrobii Caulis as teas and tinctures were very common. (2) Its roots and rhizomes would be removed before using. (3) Some ancillary approaches were applied to shorten drying times, such as rinsing with boiling mulberry-ash soup, washing or soaking with liquor, mixing with rice pulp and then basking, etc. (4) According to the ancients knowledge, the sufficient pulverization, by means of slicing, rasping, hitting or pestling techniques, was necessary for Dendrobii Caulis to take its effects. (5) The heat processing methods for Dendrobii Caulis included stir-baking, stir-frying, steaming, decocting and stewing techniques, usually with liquor as an auxiliary material. Among above mentioned, steaming by pretreating with liquor was most commonly used, and this scheme was colorfully drawn in Bu Yi Lei Gong Pao Zhi Bian Lan (Ming Dynasty, 1591 CE) ; moreover, decocting in advance or long-time simmering so as to prepare paste products were recommended in the Qing Dynasty. (6) Some different processing programs involving stir-baking with grit, air-tightly baking with ondol (Kangs), fumigating with sulfur, which appeared in modern times and brought attractive outward appearance of the drug, went against ancients original intentions of ensuring drug efficacy.

It is held by some of the researches that the "16 collaterals" is composed of the "15 collaterals" and "the major collateral of stomach". And it is included into the textbook that Xuli, the major collateral of stomach, is the pulsation point at the cardiac region. Xuli is often explained as the empty portion of the human body by many researches. Through analysis and summarization of the related theory of the major collateral of stomach, the above mentioned opinion is discussed. And the understanding on the major collateral of stomach is deepened. As a result, it is concluded that count the major collateral of stomach into the 16 collaterals together with the 15 collaterals is inadvisable. The real pulsation point at the cardiac region locates under the left breast. And the real meaning of Xuli is "extending in all directions".

Objects: To investigate the behavior of gastric electrical activity in patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor(GIST) to identify the influences of GIST on the normal gastric electrical activity. Methods: The electrogastrogram (EGG) parameters of 27 patients with gastric GIST (GIST group) and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) were detected by the multi-channel electrogastrogram and the data were analyzed. Results: The values of postprandial mean frequency (MF), mean amplitude (MA) and the percentage of normal slow wave (N%) were increased, and the percentage of bradygastria (B%) was decreased than those of the fasting in control group(P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). However, those postprandial parameter changes were not found in GIST group(P > 0.05). Compared with control group, the fasting MF and MA increased, the fasting N% of lead 1, 3, 4 and postprandial N% decreased, both percentages of fasting and postprandial tachygastria (T%) increased in GIST group (P < 0.01). The tachygastria incidence was significantly higher in GIST group than that of control (66.7% vs 3.3%, P <0.05). Conclusion: The gastric electrical activity was affected by the existence of GIST. The abnormal gastric electrical rhythm displayed mainly as tachygastria.
