Objective To investigate the recent prognosis of stress hyperglycemia for the emergency percuta- neous coronary intervention(PCI)with ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods 410 pa- tients treated by emergency PCI were chosen.According to a history of diabetes and blood glucose levels,they were randomly divided into four groups:group 1(n = 288):random blood glucose normal and non-diabetic patients;group 2(n = 30):random normal blood glucose in diabetic patients;group 3(n = 54):random plasma glucose level and non- diabetic patients;group 4(n = 38):high random plasma glucose level in diabetic patients.Age,gender,hospital within 24 hours with random glucose,glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c),peak creatine kinase,TIMI flow recovery and 30-day mortality of the patients were compared.Results Mortality of four groups were 4.2%,3.4%,7.5% and 5.9% re- spectively(P

Objective To evaluate the effect of various sampling errors on ELISA test results. Methods Standard sample volume,standard sample volume reducing 1,2,3,4 μL or adding 1, 2,3 μL were respectively pipetted into the wells of a microplate,follwed by routine operation of ELISA test. Then the influence of various sampling errors was analyzed on ELISA test results of HBsAg, HCV and TP. Results S/CO value was increased with the increase of sample volume. The statistical difference of mean S/CO value of HBsAg and TP was only found between sample volume adding 3 μL group and control group(P<0.05). For HCV result, there were significant differences between standard sample volume adding 2,3μL or reducing 3,4μL groups and control group(P<0.05), while no obvious differences were found in the other groups(P>0.05). The difference of mean positive rate between ex-perimental groups and control group showed an increasing tendency with the reduction of sample vol-ume,and significant differences in HBsAg, HCV and TP results were also found between sample vol-ume increase groups and reduction groups(P<0.05). Conclusion Various sampling errors influence ELISA test results to different degrees,and the extent increases with the reduction of standard sample volume.

Objective To analyse the cause of misdiagnosis of tuberculosis peritonitis and discuss feasibility for diagnosis of tuberculosis peritonitis by laparoscopy. Methods 12 patients misdiagnosed as tuberculosis peritonitis were retrospectively analysed. Results Tuberculosis peritonitis wrongly diagnosed because of atypical clinical behaviors in spite of specific laboratory examination. However, laparoscopy could diagnose tuberculosis peritonitis exactly and quickly. Conclusion Laparoscopy is an effective method of diagnosis for tuberculosis peritonitis.

Objective To investigate whether routine exposure recurrent laryngeal nerves(RLN) during the procedure of thyreoidectomy would prevent permanent nerves injuries caused by thyroid surgery.Methods 1523 patients with thyroid disease underwent thyreoidectomy from January 1980 to December 2004.Routine exposure of RLN during the procedure of thyreoidectomy were in 274 cases(group 1) and not in 1249 cases(group 2),the incidence rates of temporary RLN injuries and permanent RLN injures were compared in these groups.Results 3 cases(3/274,1.1%) occurred permanent RLN injuries in group 1 and 47 cases(47/1249,3.8%) occurred RLN injuries in group 2.The incidence rate of permanent RLN injuries in group 1 was lower than that in group 2(P0.05) in these groups.Conclusion Exposure recurrent RLN during the procedure of thyreoidectomy can effectively prevent permanent nerves injuries caused by thyroid surgery.

Objective To design a new type of posterior lumbar interbody fusion cage made of NiTi shape-memory alloy and to evaluate its histological and biomechanical behavior through animal study. Methods This study contained three steps of experiments which was posterior lumbar interbody fusion using different fusion materials and devices. At the first step, 12 sheep lumbar functional spinal units were randomly divided into 4 groups with 3 specimens in each group. There was one group with autogenous iliac crest bone dowel(IG), one group with interfix lumbar cage(cage), one group with NiTi-TFC(NT) and one group served as control group. Nondestructive biomechanical tests were carried out for each group. At the second step, 15 sheep were randomly divided into three groups with 5 specimens in each group. There was one group with cage and autogenous iliac crest graft, one group with NT and iliac crest and one group served as control group. All the animals were undergone imaging study regularly to evaluate the change of the intervertebral space heights and the process of fusion. At the third step, all animal from the second step were sacrificed 6 months later for histological analysis of the operated segments. All the data were statistically analyzed using SPSS 7.0. Results The strength and axial stiffness of the autogenous iliac crest bone dowel graft group and the control group were significantly different from the NT and cage group(P

Objective To investigate the effects of supplementing qi and activating blood circulation method(YQHX) on platelet inhibition rate and platelet membrane glycoprotein in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI).Methods Totally 177 elderly patients with unstable angina(qi deficiency and blood stasis syndrome) pectoris were randomized into two groups:90 cases in the treatment group and 87 cases in the control group.Both groups received conventional western medicinal treatment,for 14 days but YQHX was added to the treatment group.Platelet inhibition rate and platelet membrane glycoprotein were measured before and 14 days after treatment.Results After 14 days of treatment,the platelet inhibition rates induced by arachidonic acid (AA) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP) were significantly increased in the treatment group in comparison to pre-treatment and to control group respectively(P＜0.01).The prevalence of aspirin and clopidogrel resistance were lower in the treatment group than in the control group(8.9％ vs.21.8％,11.1％ vs.25.3％,both P＜0.05).After 14 days of treatment,the expression rates of CD62p,CD63 and PAC-1 were significantly lower in the treatment group than in pre-treatment and control group respectively (P＜0.01).Conclusions YQHX might effectively inhibit the platelet function and reduce the prevalence of aspirin and clopidogrel resistance in elderly patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing the percutaneous coronary intervention.

Objective To investigate the inhibition of low-dose aprotinin on systematic inflammatory response during cardiopulmonary bypass. Methods Twenty-eight ASA Ⅱ-Ⅲ patients(male 13, female 15) undergoing valve replacement were studied. The age ranged from 27 to 55 years and body weight from 37 to 70 kg. CPB time ranged from 66 to 218 mm and aortic cross clamping time from 30 to 140 min . The patients were divided into two groups: control group(n=14) and aprotinin group(n = 14) Premedication included intramuscular phenobarbital sodium 0.1 g and scopolamine 0.3 mg. Anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam 0. lmg/kg, fentanyl 20-30?g/kg and vecuronium 0. 1-0. 12mg/kg, and maintained with intermittent bolus injection of fentanyl and vecuronium supplemented with isoflurane inhalation. In aprotinin group aprotinin 1?106KIU was infused after induction of anesthesia until thoracotomy, after thoracotomy aprotinin was infused at a rate of 2.5? 106 KIU/h and aprotinin 2. 5 ?106KIU was added to the prime fluid as suggested by Levy. Blood samples were obtained before anesthesia, before CPB and 1h and 24h after CPB for determination of CD11b and CD18 expression on the surface of neutrophil by immunofluoresence flow cytometry. Results The expression of CD11b or CD18 and CPB time were positively correlated(?= 0.644, 0.538, P0.05). 1 h after CPB CD11b/ CD18 expression increased significantly in the control group and was significantly higher than that in the aprotinin group, but at 24h after CPB only CD11b expression in control group was significantly higher than that in aprotinin group. In aprotinin group there was no significant difference in CD11b/CD18 expression between the four intervals.Conclusions CPB-induced systematic inflammatory response may be positively correlated with CPB time. Low dose aprotinin can inhibit the increase in CD11b/CD18 expression after CPB.

Objective To observe the clinical effectiveness and prognostic factors of autologous hemopoietie stem cell transplantation on diabetic peripheral angiopathy patients under different degrees of vascular lesions. Methods Thirty-six patients with diabetic were divided into mild vascular stenosis group (group A: 20 lower extremities, vascular stenosis less than 50% ), moderate vascular stenosis group(group B :26 lower extremities, vascular stenosis of 50%-70% ) and severe vascular stenosis group (group C: 25 lower extremities, vascular stenosis greater than 70% ) according to the degree of vascular lesions. All patients were given the stem cell mobilization for 5 days, then peripheral hemopoietic stem cells were gathered on the last day and transplanted to ischemic limb by using monoeyte stem cell suspend liquid with 3 cm × 3 cm intervals.Each index of three groups was regularly observed ( 1th,12th and 18th month respectively after the operation)and comprehensive evaluated. Meanwhile,the transplantation prognostic factors (age, disease duration, post-prandial 2 hours blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin, blood pressure, triglycerides) were analyzed by multiple regression. Results Twelve months after transplantation, the ankle brachial index (ABI) and percutaneous oxygen pressure (TcPO2) of all three groups increased compared with that before the transplantation (P<0.05). In the 18th month after transplantation, the ABI still increased in group A and B (P< 0.05), and no significant changes were found in group C compared with that in the 12th month. Eighteenth month after transplantation, lower extremities of 8 patients (40%) in group A, 8 patients (31%) in group B and 6 patients (24%) in group C were examined to have neovascularizatian. Age, disease duration, blood pressure, post-prandial 2 hours blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and triglycerides were all the important factors that affected diabetic peripheral angiopathy recurrence after transplantation. Conclusions The long-term effica-cy of stem cell transplantation on diabetic peripheral angiopathy patients at a mild to moderate degree is superior to that with severe vascular lesions. Close monitoring of blood glucose, blood pressure and triglycerides in the operation perinatal stage is required.They are the important prognostic indicators.
