Objective To evaluate therapeutic effects of endovascular therapy for in-stent restenosis of superficial femoral artery,and the risk factors of restenosis of re-intervention therapy.Methods We retrospectively summarized the clinical data of 35 patients(38limbs)who suffered from in-stent restenosis of superficial femoral artery(SFA)stent from 2010 to 2012.Results 35 patients (38 limbs)were enrolled in this study,there were 24 males and 11 females.Mean age was (68 ±8)years.The success rate of endovascular therapy was 89.5％ (34/38),including in-stent angioplasty in 14 limbs,in-stent and beyond-stent angioplasty in 5 limbs,in-stent angioplasty and beyond-stent re-stenting in 15 cases.The primary patency and sencondary patency rate for 6,12 and 24 months was 65.2％,46.5％,46.5％,and 87.5％,80.2％,55.8％ respectively.The independent risk factors for re-obliteration were age ＞ 70 years (P ＜ 0.05) and diabetes mellitus (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Endovascular therapy is effective and safe in treatment in-stent restenosis of superficial femoral artery.The long-term in-stent patency is not satisfactory,with age ＞ 70 years and diabetes mellitus as independent risk factors.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between emergence agitation (EA) during recovery from general anesthesia and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD).Methods Two hundred and eighty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 18-70 yr,weighing 52-80 kg,undergoing elective surgery,were included.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam,fentanyl,propofol and cisatracurium.The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated.Anesthesia was maintained with remifentanil,propofol and cisatracurium.EA was assessed at 15-40 min after extubation by using Post-operative Quality Recovery Scale and the cognitive function was assessed at day 1 before operation and days 1-7 after operation.Patients were divided into POCD or nonPOCD group according to the occurrence of POCD.The general data of patients,preoperative complications and types of surgery were recorded.If there was significant difference between the 2 groups,the factor was analyzed using multi-factor logistic regression to select the risk factor for incidence of POCD.Results The incidence of POCD was 40.7 ％.The results of logistic regression analysis showed that the dangerous degree of the risk factors for POCD in order from high to low were emergence agitation,duration of anesthesia and age.Conclusion EA during recovery from general anesthesia is an independent risk factor for POCD.

Objective To investigate the clinical roles of lysine methyltransferase 5A(KMT5A)in human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)and its functions in cell migration and invasion. Methods The expression levels of KMT5A of 60 cases were detected by immunohistochemistry(IHC). KMT5A siRNA was used to down-regulate the expression of KMT5A in SMMC-7721 cells. Cell migration and invasion were measured by wound healing assays and transwell assays,respectively. Immunoblotting was used to detect the expression of MMP-2 after siRNA trans-fection. miR-186 mimics were transfected into SMMC-7721 cells and the mRNA levels of KMT5A was detected by qRT-PCR after transfection. Results High expression of KMT5A was associated with large tumor diameter (>5 cm,P=0.047)and advanced TNM stage(Ⅲ+Ⅳ,P=0.035). The expression of KMT5A was knocked down by siRNA in SMMC-7721 cells. Down-regulation of KMT5A suppressed cell migration(P=0.031,P=0.006)and invasion(P=0.010),and impaired MMP-2 expression(P=0.040). Overexpression of miR-186 could significantly inhibit the expression of KMT5A(P = 0.007). Conclusions Over-expression of KMT5A in HCC tissues associ-ates with poor clinical features. KMT5A knockdown inhibits the migration and invasion on HCC cells.

Objective To investigate the feasibility, safety and efficiency of endovascular treatment for patients with aorto-bilateral-iliac artery total occlusive disease.Methods A total of 35 patients with aorto-bi-iliac artery total occlusive disease treated with endovascular therapy in Peking Union Medical College Hospital and the First Hospital of Shijiazhuang between Jan 2012 and Dec 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 33 males and 2 females, mean age (67 ± 6) years treated during the study period.Technical success rate was 100％.129 bare stents and 4 covered stents were implanted.There were no peri-operative death.Postoperative leg ankle brachial index (ABI) improved significantly (0.86 vs.0.28, P ＜ 0.28).Postoperative complications occurred in 2 patients (5.7％), including brachial artery thrombosis and rupture of external iliac artery post-dilation.The mean follow-up period was 16.5 months (2-28 months).Two patients (5.7％) were lost to follow up.Re-intervention was performed in 3 patients (8.6％) due to reocclusion of the stents.Primary patency was 91％ (30/33) Conclusions Endovascular treatment is effective for aorto-bi-iliac artery total occlusive disease with low complications and acceptable mid-term patent rate.

BACKGROUND: A large amount of in vivo and in vitro experiments have confirmed that, basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) has been widely utilized in various tissues and cells, it can facilitate the wound healing.OBJECTIVE: To observe the efficacy and feasibility of gene gun-mediate delivery of human bFGF on the healing of deep partial thickness bum wounds.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized design,an observational trial was performed at the Military Central Laboratory of Changhai Hospital in the Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between December 2007 and October 2008.MATERIALS: SD rats of clean grade, weighing 200-250 g, irrespective of genders, ware involved in this study.METHODS: Natural human bFGF gene was recombined and optimized, then eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo-bFGF was constructed taking pCI-neo as a vector, and transfeoted with human embryonic kidney cells 293 T cells. Dot blot and Western blot methods were utilized to determine the bFGF expression. Rat model of deep partial thickness burn wounds was processed into transgene process using gene gun technique, pCI-neo-bFGF-transfected ones served as experiment group while pCI-neo-transfected ones served as controls.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Wound healing time was recorded and the efficacy was evaluated. The contents of hydroxyproline and collaganase Ⅰ in burn wound tissues were determined at 24 hours, 48 hours, 96 hours, 7 days, 10 days and 14 days following transgene process.RESULTS: the recombinant pCI-neo-bFGF was transfected with human embryonic kidney 293T cells. Dot blot and Western blot analysis have showed that, the constructed pCI-neo-bFGF expression vector could express human bFGF, and the expression of synthesized gene was remarkably higher than that of natural gene under fluorescence microscope; gene gun-mediated transgene experiment have showed that, the wound healing time was (13.00+1.31) days in the experiment group and (14.75±1.28) days in the control group, with significant differences (P＜0.05). The contents of hydroxyproline and collagenase Ⅰ reached a peak at 5 days after the injury, that is 48 hours after transfection, and then gradually decreased and maintained at a certain level. The experiment group had higher hydroxyproline levels compared with control group at different time points (P＜0.05, P＜0.01); the collagenase Ⅰ in the experiment group was notably higher than that in the control group at 48 hours and 96 hours after transfection (P＜0.01).CONCLUSION: Gene gun-mediated delivery of human bFGF can short the time of wound healing, increase the contents of hydroxyproline and collagenase Ⅰ during the healing period, accelerate the healing of deep partial thickness burn wounds.

Objective To review the experience of the surgical treatment of adult patients with anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery(ALCAPA).Methods A retrospective,single institution review was conducted on nineteen adult patients with ALCAPA surgical treatment from February 2006 to October 2012.Of these patients,five were males and fourteen were females.The age was(35.3 ± 11.7) years.The weight was (61.2 ± 9.4) kg.Most patients showed some evidence of myocardial infarction or ischemia with either abnormal Q waves (4) or ST-T abnormality (13).Twelve patients with coronary angiography and four patients with coronary CT scan showed good coronary collateralization.The preoperative UCG showed the mean left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) was 0.60 ± 0.07,and the mean left ventricular end-diastolic dimension(LVEDD) was(52.4 ± 4.4) mm.Severe mitral regurgitation(MR) was seen in two patients,moderate in three patients and mild in four patients.The operative procedures included Takeuchi operation in seven patients,ligation of left coronary artery concomitant with coronary artery bypass graft in two patients,coronary artery re-implantation in ten patients.Of the ten patients with coronary artery re-implantation,two patients underwent mitral valve repair.Results There was no operative mortality.The mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was (144.5 ± 66.9) min and cross-clamp time was (96.4 ± 38.8) min,respectively.The mean mechanical ventilation time was(12.9 ± 3.7) h and intensive care unit time was(39.2 ± 12.5) h,respectively.The mean postoperative LVEF was 0.62 ± 0.04.No significant reduction in LVEDD (45.8 ± 5.5) mm,P ＞ 0.05.Mild and trivial MR were observed in one and four patients,respectively.Sixteen patients(84.2％) completed the follow up with a mean time of 19.2 months.All the patients survived with New York Heart Association class Ⅰ or Ⅱ.During the follow up period,no patient required reoperation or readmission.At the latest echocardiography,the mean LVEF of 0.63 ± 0.05 and mean LVEDD of(49.2 ± 4.6) mm did not significantly improved compared with the data preoperatively or postoperatively.Mild MR was detected in six patients,trivial in three patients during the follow-up period.Conclusion The adult patients with ALCAPA have a dormant disease process.Surgical treatment has been recommended at the time of diagnosis and the coronary re-implantation could be the first choice.As for the concomitant MR,the guideline for the adult MR should be followed.
