84 Cases were treated in the period Aug. 1989- Aug. 1994 with self-formulated Qilu Decoction with a total effective rate of 88. 10%. The difference as compared with that of western drug Propafenone was significant (P

To investigate the effects of preoperative intravascular embolization on treatment of intracranial giant arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), 27 patients with intracranial giant AVMs were successfully treated from August, 1997 to April 1998 every patient was treated with preoperative intravascular embolization. Compared with single surgical resection, it was found that surgical resection after intravenous embolization can greatly reduce the intraoperative hemorrhage, diminish postoperative mortality and morbidity, and prevent normal perfusion pressure breakthrough (NPPB) significantly. The present study suggested that combination of surgical resection and intravascular embolization was an effect way in the treatment of giant cerebral AVMs.

Objective To research the degree of sensory disturbance(about algaesthesis and thermesthesia) in patients with cerebral infarction(CI),diabetes mellitus(DM) and CI combined DM(CD).Methods The threshold values of rhigosis,heat sensation,cryalgesia and thermalgesia were detected by quantitative sensory testing(QST) in the patients with CI(CI group),DM(DM group),CD(CD group).Each group had 30 cases.The results were compared with normal control group(NC group).Results Compared with NC group,acral thermic sense and cryalgesia in CI group and CD group were declined obviously(all P

Objective To investigate effects of early administration of high-dose rosuvastatin(40 mg) on coronary microvascular function and short-term outcome in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction(AMI). Methods Ninety-four consequent AMI patients treated with primary PCI were divided into rosuvastatin group (50 patients) and control group (44 group). The infarct-related artery flow of epicardium was classified in compliance with the TIMI criteria. Myocardial and microvascular perfusion was assessed using the TMPG. The incidence of the MACE and the cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity of rosuvastatin was respectively recorded in 30 d follow-up period. Results Either patients in the rosuvastatin group or in the control group showed better TMPG immediately after PCI (P<0.05), compared with that before treatment. However, the post-PCI TMPG of the rosuvastatin group was obviously much better than that of control group (P<0.05). Compared with that in control group, the 30-day composite MACE rate was lower in rosuvastatin group and in the TMPG 3 patients of rosuvastatin group:12.0%(6/50) vs. 34.1%(15/44), P<0.05;11.1%(3/27) vs. 42.9%(6/14). There was no cytotoxicity and hepatotoxicity in two groups. Conclusions Early administration of high-dose rosuvastatin (40 mg) can improve coronary microvascular function and short-term outcome in patients treated with primary PCI for AMI, and it is efficient and safety.

Objective To evaluate the effect of early continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)on patients with acute kidney injury(AKI)induced by severe sepsis. Methods A prospective study was conducted. 160 patients with AKI induced by severe sepsis admitted to intensive care unit(ICU)of Qingyuan People's Hospital between October 2009 and June 2013 were enrolled. According to the starting time of CRRT,the patients were randomly divided into two groups:an earl y treatment group and a regular treatment group(each,80 cases). All patients were treated in accordance with the principle of the cluster of severe sepsis. In early treatment group,the patents began to receive CRRT when the amount of urine output was<0.5 mL?kg-1?h-1 and had taken continuous conventional treatment over 6 hours,but the curative effect was not ideal. In the regular treatment group,the patients began to apply CRRT when the amount of urine output was<0.5 mL?kg-1?h-1 and had taken continuous conventional treatment persistently over 24 hours or difficultly corrected acidosis or heart failure developed. The changes in urine output,creatinine,saturation of blood oxygen,and albumin,and 28-day survival rate,length of ICU stay,time of organ support were measured and compared between the two groups to evaluate the therapeutic significance of the early CRRT. Results The mean length of ICU stay(day:6.5±1.7 vs. 8.2±1.6),length of organ support(day:5.3±1.8 vs. 6.0±1.4),the recovery time of urine amount(day:3.4±0.9 vs. 4.8±0.5)in early treatment group were significantly shorter than those in regular treatment group(all P<0.01);recovery ratio of urine in 1 week in early treatment group was significantly higher than that in regular treatment group(46.2%vs. 28.8%,P<0.05). The creatinine recovery ratio in 1 week in early treatment group was lower than that in regular treatment group(55.0%vs 78.8%),but there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). Early treatment group and regular treatment groups of creatinine recovery time were similar(day:5.1±1.3 vs. 5.2±1.2). 28-day survival rate in early treatment group was higher than that in regular treatment group(41.2%vs. 35.0%),but there was no statistically significant difference(P>0.05). Conclusion It is found that there is no evidence to suggest that early CRRT may improve the prognosis of the patients with AKI induced by severe sepsis,but it may be in favor of shortening the time of urine recovery,length of stay in ICU,length of organ support and length of dialysis.
