Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of re-modified Sugiura procedure for the treatment of portal hypertension.Methods The retrospective cohort study was adopted.The clinical data of 119 patients with portal hypertension who were admitted to Second People's Hospital of Yichang from June 2006 to October 2014 were collected.Seventy-two patients who underwent pericardial devascularization were allocated into the Hassab group,and the other 47 patients who underwent the re-modified Sugiura procedure were allocated into the R-M Sugiura group.All the patients firstly underwent splenectomy.The patients of the Hassab group received the classical surgery of pericardial devascularization,and the operation in the R-M Sugiura group was improved on the modified Sugiura procedure in several aspects:(1) the cardia was transected obliquely.(2) Paraesophageal vessels were preserved by selective pericardial devascularization.(3) The pedicled omentum covered the anterior anastomosis and was sutured to the posterior abdominal wall.Observed indices included (1) intraoperative and postoperative situations:operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss,postoperative anal exhaust time and duration of postoperative hospital stay.(2) Postoperative complications:postoperative pleural effusion,perioperative digestive tract re-bleeding,difficult swallowing,portal vein thrombosis and gastric dynamic dysfunction.(3) Situation of follow-up.The follow-up was performed by telephone interview and outpatient examination to observe the grading of the esophageal varices at postoperative month 6 and 18 using gastroscope till February 2016.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s,and comparison between groups was done by the t test.Count data were analyzed by the chi-square test.Ranked data were analyzed by Wilcoxon rank test.Results (1) Intraoperative and postoperative situations:operation time of the Hassab group and the R-M Sugiura group was (201 ± 27) minutes and (255 ± 32) minutes,respectively,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (t =9.67,P ＜ 0.05).The volume of intraoperative blood loss,postoperative anal exhaust time and duration of postoperative hospital stay were (380 ± 86) mL,(2.7 ± 0.7) days,(14.2 ± 2.4) days in the Hassab group and (401 ± 72) mL,(3.0 ± 1.7) days,(15.1 ± 2.7) days in the R-M Sugiura group,respectively,showing no statistically significant difference (t =1.35,1.26,1.86,P ＞ 0.05).(2) Postoperative complications:dysphagia was detected in 3 patients of the Hassab group and in 10 patients of the R-M Sugiura group at the postoperative day 10,with a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =0.86,P ＜ 0.05).However,dysphagia was detected in 1 patient of the Hassab group and in 4 patients of the R-M Sugiura group at the postoperative day 20,showing no statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (x2 =2.03,P ＞ 0.05).The number of postoperative pleural effusion,perioperative digestive tract rebleeding,portal vein thrombosis and gastric dynamic dysfunction of the Hassab group and the R-M Sugiura group were 23,6,10,8 cases and 20,1,6,6 cases,respectively,showing no statistically significant difference (x2=1.39,1.02,0.03,0.08,P ＞ 0.05).(3) Situation of follow-up:all the patients were reexamined using gastroscope to observe the grading of esophageal varices.There were 0,7,56,9 patients of G0,G Ⅰ,G Ⅱ,G Ⅲ grading of varices in the Hassab group and 35,12,0,0 patients in the R-M Sugiura group at postoperative month 6,showing a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (Z =-9.64,P ＜ 0.05).There were 0,0,48,24 patients of G0,G Ⅰ,G Ⅱ,G Ⅲ grading of varices in the Hassab group and 24,20,3,0 patients in the R-M Sugiura group at postoperative month 18,showing a statistically significant difference between the 2 groups (Z =-9.28,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The re-modified Sugiura procedure is more effective than the Hassab operation in curing portal hypertension,and it could also reduce the rate of rehemorrhage and improve the short-term and long-term prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effect of palato-pharyngo-plastry on patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) plus obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Methods The 113 OSAHS patients with CHD after palato-pharyngo-plastry from January 2001 to December 2006 were enrolled and followed up. The other 125 cases treated with continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) were as control group. Results The fundmental factors of CHD including cholesterol, triglyeride, fasting blood glucose and body mass index (BM1) showed no statistical differences between two groups (x2 or t= 4.788, 0.479, 0.541, all P>0.05) . Only the oxyhemoglobin saturation during sleep was higher in study group than in control group [(91.2± 2.5)% vs. (87.6±4.2)%, P=0.046]. The angiography showed that 87 cases (77.0%) retained stable, 24 cases (21.2%) became severe in study group. As compared with control group, there were no statistical differences (both P>0.05). 37 cases (32.7%) in study group and 58 cases (46.4%) in control group who suffered from angina became severe with statistical differences between two groups (x2=4.615, P=0.032). The incidences of myocardial infarction and sudden death were lower in study group (3.5% and 0.8%) and in control group (5.6% and 2.4%), showed no statistical, difterences be tween twogroups. x2=0.571 and 0.495, P>0. 05). Conclusions Compared with CPAP, the palato-pharyngo-plastry can improve oxyhemoglobin saturation and reduce angina symptom, but has no better effect on progress of coronary atherosclerosis and acute coronary disease than CPAP.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of using low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) along with donepezil in the rehabilitation of aphasia after cerebral infarction. Methods Fortythree aphasic patients with acute cerebral infarction were assigned into a treatment group or a control group.Both groups received standard basic treatment for acute cerebral infarction.From day 7 on,both groups received oral donepezil hydrochloride (5 mg/d) for 12 consecutive weeks.The treatment group received in addition 2 sessions of low frequency rTMS on the language center of the right hemisphere.The first session started at day 7 after onset,and each session consisted of rTMS on 10 consecutive days (once per day).There was a resting interval of 3 d between the two sessions.The rehabilitation of the aphasia was assessed prior to and after each session,and at the end of the entire 12 weeks of treatment using the western aphasia battery ( WAB ) scoring system and the aphasia quotient (AQ). Results There was no significant difference between the two groups after the first session in terms of the WAB or AQ results.However,the difference in improvement became statistically significant after the second session,as well as at the end of the entire 12 weeks.The average change in AQ was significantly greater in the treatment group. Conclusion Donepezil combined with rTMS early in the acute phase of cerebral infarction is helpful for the rehabilitation of aphasia.

AIM: To determine the effect of promoting cellular cholesterol efflux on the apoptosis of foam cells derived from monocytes. METHODS: RAW264.7 cells were incubated with 50 mg/L ox-LDL as a foam cell mode. The apoptosis rate of RAW264.7 cells was assayed by flow cytometry. Cellular lipid droplet was assayed by oil red staining. The rate of cellular cholesterol efflux was assayed with [~3H] label cholesterol, and the content of cellular cholesterol were assayed by high performance liquid chromatography. RESULTS: After incubation with 50 mg/L ox-LDL for 48 h, the content of cellular cholesterol ester increased from (6.8?3.6) mg/g to (101.7?4.5) mg/g (P

Objective To evaluate the impact of the re-modified Sugiura procedure on portal hemodynamics and liver function in cirrhotic patients with portal hypertension.Methods Forty patients with cirrhosis and portal hypertension who underwent the re-modified Sugiura procedure in the Yichang Second People's Hospital from June 2006 to October 2014 were studied.Changes in the free portal pressure (FPP),portal venous flow (PVF) and liver functions before and after operation were analyzed.Results (1) The FPP at different phases of the operation (after opening the abdomen,after splenectomy,and after devascularization) were (43.2 ± 1.8) cmH2O,(34.8 ± 1.6) cmH2O and (35.2 ± 1.7) cmH2O,respectively.There were significant differences in FPP between the phases of after splenectomy and after opening the abdomen,as well as after devascularization and after opening the abdomen (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in FPP between after devascularization and after splenectomy (P ＞ O.05).(2) The PVF,which were measured with Doppler sonography at 4 time points (preoperative 1 day,postoperative 10 days,postoperative 6 months,postoperative 18 months),were (1 420.4 ± 137.7) ml/min,(1 205.2 ± 126.7) ml/min,(875.8 ± 118.0) ml/min and (893.8 ± 114.7) n1/min,respectively.There were significant differences in PVF between postoperative 10 days and preoperative 1 day,between postoperative 6 months and postoperative 10 days,as well as between postoperative 18 months and preoperative 1 day (P ＜0.05).There was no significant difference in PVF between postoperative 18 months and postoperative 6 months (P ＞0.05).(3)The liver functions were evaluated using the Child-Pugh score at 4 time points (preoperative 1 day,postoperative 10 days,postoperative 6 months,postoperative 18 months).There were no significant differences among the time points,(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion The re-modified Sugiura's procedure durably,appropriately and effectively reduced the PVF and FPP,but it did not have any negative effects on the liver functions of patients with cirrhosis.

Objective:To explore the intervention effect of sensorimotor training on cognitive function, balance and fall risk of elderly patients with schizophrenia.Methods:The 60 hospitalized elderly schizophrenic patients in Wuxi Mental Health Center were randomly divided into experimental group and control group from June to September 2021, with 30 cases in each group. The control group implemented traditional exercise on the basis of routine nursing. The experimental group received 8-week and 24 times sensorimotor training on the basis of the routine nursing. The Chinese version of the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess the cognitive level of patients, the Modified Morse Fall Scale (MMFS) was used to assess the risk of falls, and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS) was used to assess the balance function.Results:After 8 weeks of intervention, the total score of MMSE was (26.72 ± 1.71), higher than the total score of the control group (22.36 ± 1.93), the factor scores of temporal orientation, spatial orientation, recollection, attention and calculation, memory and language ability in the experimental group were (4.90 ± 0.31), (4.72 ± 0.53), (2.86 ± 0.35), (4.66 ± 0.61), (2.83 ± 0.47), (6.76 ± 1.09), higher than scores of the control group (4.36 ± 0.56), (3.93 ± 0.66), (2.57 ± 0.50), (3.64 ± 1.03), (2.18 ± 0.67), (5.68 ± 1.02), and the difference was statistically significant( t values were 2.53-9.06, all P< 0.05). The total score of MMFS in the experimental group was (5.93 ± 1.49), which was lower than that in the control group (8.75 ± 2.30). The difference was statistically significant ( t=-5.51, P<0.01). The total score of BBS in the experimental group was (38.83 ± 1.71), which was higher than that in the control group (30.89 ± 1.93). The difference was statistically significant ( t=16.43, P<0.01). Conclusions:Sensorimotor training can improve the level of balance, cognitive function and reduce the risk of falls in elderly patients with schizophrenia.
