Objective To evaluate the imaging features of ulcer-like projections (ULP)and penetrating atherosclerotic ulcers (PAU)of intramural hematoma(IMH)using dual-source CT (DSCT).Methods Retrospectively analysis of DSCT imaging data of 1 12 patients in our hospital was performed.The shape of hematoma and location of ULP and PAU were evaluated Stanford A and B IMH depicting on DSCT images.The maximum diameter of aorta,maximum thickness of hematoma,deepness of ulcer were com-pared between in patients of IMH with or without ULP and PAU.Results IMH manifested as circular or crescent high density on plain scan and without contrast enhancement on DSCT images in 1 12 cases.Among of them,68 cases(68/1 12,61%)of IMH had ULP or PAU,in which there were 21 cases(21/1 12,1 9%)with ULP and 47 cases(47/1 12,42%)with PAU,the mean maximum depth was (0.48±0.1 5)cm in ULP and (1.08±0.56)cm in PAU.There were 4 cases with ULP and 9 cases with PAU in 29 cases of Stanford type A,while 1 7 cases with ULP and 38 cases with PAU in 83 cases of Stanford type B.There were 14 cases with single ULP and 7 cases with multiple ULP in 21 patients with ULP,while there were 27 cases with single PAU and 20 cases with multiple PAU in 47 patients with PAU.There were 1 9 cases with both PAU and ULP.There was statistical significance that PAU occurred more likely in the descending aorta and distal aorta than that in ULP (P =0.028).Conclusion IMH patients are susceptible to ULP and PAU,DSCT can objectively evaluate CT features of ULP and PAU of IMH.

OBJECTIVE To compare and analyze the drug resistance of Chryseobacterium meningosepticum which producing metallo-?-lactamase(MBL) and extended-spectrum-?-lactamases(ESBLs) from ICU patients′ and non ICU patients′ specimens of sputa so as to guide the rational application of antibiotics.METHODS Identified the strains with VITEK 32,MBL and ESBLs were also screened by double disk synergy;the antimicrobial sensitivity of clinical isolates was tested by VITEK GNS143 and the antimicrobial sensitivity was added and tested by K-B method.RESULTS As a result the rate of producing MBL of C.meningosepticum was 49.0% from ICU patients′ specimens of sputa which was higher than the rate of 13.8% from non ICU patients′;the rate of producing ESBLs of C.meningosepticum was 37.2% from ICU patients′ specimens of sputa which was higher than the rate of 30.6% from non ICU patients′;the rate of drug resistance to AMP/SUB,TZP,CEP,CIP,and LEV from ICU patients′ was higher than that from non ICU patients.CONCLUSIONS Why the high resistance rate of C.mengingosepticum in ICU patients′ specimens of sputa might be due to the high producing ?-lactamases(MBL and ESBLs).

Objective To compare the safety and efficiency of nasogastric ( NG ) feeding with nasojejunal (NJ) feeding in treating severe acute pancreatitis ( SAP).Methods The terms NG tube,NJ tube,SAPand enteral nutritionwere used for literature search in PubMed , Embase, Cochrane Library, WanFang and CNKI databases and the publication deadline was June 1, 2016.Random effect model was used for Meta analysis .Results A total of 5 random clinical trials involving 264 patients ( 136 in NG group and 128 in NJ group ) were included .There was no statistical difference on the incidence of adverse events (mortality:RR=0.77, 95%CI 0.42~1.41, P=0.39; infection complications: RR=0.77, 95%CI 0.45~1.30, P=0.39; digestive complications: RR=1.26, 95%CI 0.73~2.16, P=0.41; stopping nasogastric proportion:RR=0.66, 95%CI 0.10~4.10, P=0.65;MODS rate:RR=0.98, 95%CI 0.71~1.35, P=0.90; the percentage of energy balance: RR=1.00, 95%CI 0.97~1.03, P=0.39 and the average length of hospital stay:RR=0.98, 95%CI 0.71~1.35, P=0.90).Conclusions NG feeding was safe and effective , which was comparable with NJ feeding .NG feeding was more convenient with a higher clinical value .

Objective To evaluate the effects of asymptomatic arteriovenous fistula closure on left ventricular morphology and function in renal transplant recipients.Methods Between March 2007 and March 2011,a total of 60 patients undergoing consecutive kidney transplantation with asymptomatic arteriovenous fistula were divided randomly into two groups: arteriovenous fistula closure group,and non-arteriovenous fistula closure group.By using echocardiography,the changes in CO,CI,EF,LVEDV and LVMI were analyzed.Results At 12th month after transplantation,the values of CO,LVEDV and LVMI were significantly lower than those before transplantation (P＜0.05).The value of CI also showed a tendency to decrease (P＞0.05),and the value of EF was increased significantly (P＜0.05).At 6th month after arteriovenous fistula closure (18 months after transplantation),the values of CO,CI,LVEDV and LVMI were significantly lower than those before arteriovenous fistula closure (12 months after transplantation) (P＜0.05),and the value of EF was increased significantly (P＜0.05),but the values of CO,CI,EF,LVEDV and LVMI remained unc(b)anged in controls (P＞0.05).At 18th month after transplantation,the values of CO (4.4 ±0.8 L/min),CI [3.0 ± 0.8 L·min-1·m-2],LVEDV (110.0 ± 17.4 ml) and LVMI (114.7 ± 42.5g/m2) in trial group were significantly lower than the values [CO: 5.1 ± 0.9 L/min,CI: 3.5 ± 1.0L·min-1·m-2,LVEDV: 121.4±19.3 mL,LVMI: 138.4±44.1 g/m2] in controls (P＜0.05),and the value of EF (75.2％ ± 7.4％ vs.70.5％ ± 8.2％) significantly higher (P＜005).Conclusion In both groups,kidney transplantation benefits significantly the regression of cardiac mass,cardiac index and left ventricular dimensions,but closure of asymptomatic AVF induces more significant regression.

AIM:To determine the relationship between microhistology and cardiac contractility in myocarditis animal model. METHODS:Setting up myocarditis animal model by injecting Coxsackivevirus B 3 (CVB 3) into mice, then observed myocardial morphological changes and measured left ventricular function of mice at the time of first three days and two weeks after injecting CVB 3.RESULTS:Subcellular structure (mitochondria) changed at the first three days after injecting CVB 3. The left ventricular pressure (LVP) and the rate of intraventricular pressure development (d p /d t ) which is the index of reflecting cardiac contractility depressed in this stage (14.2?0.8) kPa and (273.1?10.0)kPa/s, respectively. There were (17.1?0.7)kPa and (359.8?9.3)kPa/s in normal mice, respectively ( P

Astract:Objective To investigate the ultrastructural changes and HSP70 expression in liver of mice after microwave irradiation with lethal dose and to explore the application of these indexes as the basis of medical identification in microwave irradiation induced death. Methods The mice were divided into the control group and the irradiation group. Mice of the irradiation group were induced death by whole body exposure to 129 W/cm2 microwave irradiation for 30 minutes. The ultrastructure of liver was observed by transmission electron micro-scope;changes of the HSP70 mRNA and protein expression in liver were detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction ( RT-PCR) and Western blotting respectively. Results Liver cytoplasm was observed dissolved with points and sheets and there were mitochondri-al crest and membrane solution in the irradiation group. And the HSP70 mRNA and protein expression level increases significantly compared with the control group with statistically significant difference (P<0. 01). Conclusion Death induced by microwave irradiation could lead to liver cytoplasm dissolution, mitochondria damage, mRNA and protein expression of HSP70 up-regulation, which may be used as important diagnostic indicators of microwave irradiation induced death.

Objective To analyze the correlation between the status of the donation after brain and cardiac death (DBCD)donors and postoperative recovery of the organ function in the liver and renal transplant recipients.Methods The assessment data and organ protection measures of 12 DBCD donors admitted to the Organ Transplantation Center in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital from August 2011 to November 2013 were retrospectively analyzed.The parameters of postoperative recovery of 12 liver and 22 renal transplant recipients were also assessed.The correlation between the parameters of the donors and postoperative recovery of the liver and renal transplant recipients was statistically analyzed.Results Among 12 liver transplant recipients,1 patient had primary non-function (PNF)(1 /12,8%)and 11 cases developed delayed graft function (DGF) after renal transplantation (11 /22,50%).Intensive care unit (ICU)period,liver function,maintaining systolic blood pressure (SBP),blood coagulation function,blood glucose level and electrolyte (Na +/K +) were significantly correlated with postoperative recovery of the liver and kidney function in the recipients (all in P <0.05 ).Age,cause of brain death,maintaining diastolic blood pressure (DBP),activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT)and pH of arterial blood gas (ABG)were associated with postoperative recovery of the liver function.Total bilirubin and white blood cell count (WBC)were correlated with postoperative recovery of kidney function.Conclusions DBCD donors cater to the specific conditions in China.The incidence of postoperative PNF in liver recipients is relatively low whereas and the incidence of DGF after renal transplantation is relatively high.Assessment of the DBCD donors and organ protection measures should be specifically taken to enhance the clinical efficacy of liver and renal transplantation from DBCD donors.

Objective To investigate clinicopathological features of pancreatic carcinoma with or without lymph node metastasis,and to explore the relationship between the lymph node metastasis and the prognosis of pancreatic carcinoma.Methods The clinical and follow up data of 216 patients with pancreatic carcinoma from 2001 to 2015 were retrospectively analyzed.Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rates and plot survival curves.Results The postoperative survival time was 4-86 months,the median survival time was 19 months,and the postoperative 1,3 and 5 year survival rates were 65.1％,33.8％,20.5％,respectively.Patients with positive lymph node metastasis were with 1,3,5 year survival rates of 36.5％,12.2％,0％,those with no lymph node metastasis were with 1,3,5 year survival rates of 70.3％,38.0％,21.4％ (x2 =15.803,P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Lymph node metastasis in patients with pancreatic cancer is worse than that without lymph node metastasis.Lymph node metastasis is one of the main prognostic factors in patients after radical resection of the pancreatic cancer.
