Objective To observe the clinical effects of endoscopic great saphenous vein harvesting(ESVH) in coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods Endoscopic great saphenous vein harvesting was performed in 89 patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) from April 2004 to May 2005.An incision 2 cm in length was made on the knee joint and the great saphenous vein was harvested using the VasoView-5 system.Clinical data of the 89 patients(Endoscopic Group) were compared with another 38 patients undergoing conventional great saphenous vein harvesting for CABG from April 2003 to March 2005(Conventional Group) in respect of complications of the leg, the recovery time to walking,and the patency rate at 6 postoperative months.Results The number of harvested vein grafts in the Endoscopic Group was 2~3(mean,2.6).Complications of the leg were significantly less in the Endoscopic Group(6/89) than in the Conventional Group(8/38)(?~2=4.197,P=0.040).The occurrence of pain and numbness of the leg was 7/89 in the Endoscopic Group and 36/38 in the Conventional Group(?~2=89.740,P=0.000).The occurrence of swelling of the leg was 9/89 in the Endoscopic Group and 30/38 in the Conventional Group(?~2=59.299,P=0.000).The recovery time to walking was significantly shorter in the Endoscopic Group(2.3?0.9 d) than in the Conventional Group(3.4?1.6 d)(t=-4.952,P=0.000).There was no significant difference in the patency rate at 6 postoperative months between the Endoscopic Group(96.0%,48/50) and the Conventional Group(95.3%,19/20)(?~2=0.000,P=1.000).Conclusions Use of endoscopic vein harvesting in coronary artery bypass grafting decreases the incidence of postoperative leg-wound infections,post-operative pain,and length of hospital stay.

Objective To study the cytotoxicity of the membrane material of heart assist pump. Methods The membrane materials tested incladed polyurethane (group A) and medical polychloroethylene (group B),and a blank control group with none of the material. L-929 cells (the mouse fibroblasts) were cultured on either material in groups A and B,and 6 cell cultures were without any material. After 24,48 and 72 hours,the growth of cell in groups A,B and the control was observed,and the number was counted. Educts of two materials used in groups A and B was respectively added to culture medium,then the OD was measured every 24h and proliferation rate was determined by MTT test. Results L-929 cells grew very well in groups A and B with less death. The cell counts showed no difference between 2 groups at each time. The OD of group A was always higher than that of group B after 24,48 and 72h ( P

Objective: To analyze the effect of different stress levels noninvasive mask BiPAP ventilation in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) with type Ⅱ respiratory failure. Methods: From January 2015 to June 2017, 120 patients of AECOPD with typeⅡrespiratory failure in Jincheng People's Hospital were randomly divided into three groups by the random number table, with 40 cases in each group.The suction pressure of A group was set to 10-14cmH₂O.The suction pressure of B group was set to 15-19cmH₂O, while the suction pressure of C group was set to 20-25cmH₂O.The clinical curative effect of three groups was compared. Results: The PaO₂ level of three time points among the three groups were compared by repeated measurements of variance.The results showed that after treatment for 24h, the PaO₂ levels of A group, B group and C group were (57.15±5.03)mmHg, (60.28±5.21)mmHg and (58.38±6.06)mmHg, respectively.After treatment for 72h, the PaO₂ levels of A group, B group and C group were (63.02±6.08)mmHg, (80.16±5.28)mmHg and (70.07±5.23)mmHg, respectively.After treatment for 168h, the PaO₂ levels of A group, B group and C group were (70.11±60.28)mmHg, (86.35±5.01)mmHg, (79.26±5.16)mmHg, respectively.The results showed that the difference in PaO₂ of different groups was statistically significant (F=8.514, P<0.001), and there was significant difference in PaO₂ at different time points (F=13.681, P<0.001), and there was interaction between groups (different processing formulas) and time points (F=9.872, P<0.001). There was an interaction between PaCO₂ and PaO₂/FiO₂ in the groups and time points (P<0.001). The rank sum test was used to compare the curative effect among the three groups.The Z value was 17.512 (P<0.001), and the comparison with the cutting probability method showed that the effective rate of B group was significantly higher than that of A group and C group (P<0.012). Conclusion 15-19cmH₂O inhalation pressure can significantly improve the effect of non invasive mask BiPAP treatment for AECOPD with type II respiratory failure, and the improvement of blood gas index is better with time.

Objective To evaluate the applied value of bedside chest radiography in the intensive care unit ( ICU ) . Methods One hundred and ninety-three cases with 507 chest radiographs (CXRs) in the ICU were analysed retrospectively. The appearances of cardiopulmonary abnormalities were analysed.Results 97.4% of the CXRs were satisfied for diagnosis. 83.9% of the CXRs showed cardiopulmonary abnormalities, including atelectasis, pneumonia, pulmonary edema, ARDS, pneumothorax, mediastinal and subcataneous emphysema,pleural effusion,pericardial effusion and pulmonary thromboembolism, and 6.2% out of these positive cases was discovered accidentally. The chest radiograph has moderate accuracy (77.9%) in visualizing cardiopulmonary abnormalities at the initial CXR including atelectasis,pneumonia,pulmonary edema and pleural effusion. Misdiagnosis occurred mainly on the patients with a small quantity of pneumothorax and pulmonary thromboembolism. About one-third cases of cardiogenic edema and ARDS were indistinguishable.Conclusion Bedside chest radiographs are of significant value for the patients in the ICU.

Objective To assess the contribution of the portable chest computed radiography (CR) in evaluation of monitoring devices of the patients in the intensive care unit (ICU). Methods One hundred and sixty-two cases with 387 chest radiographs in the ICU were analysed retrospectively. The location of the catheters of monitoring devices and complications were observed.Results The malposition of the catheters was detected in 47 cases(16.9%),including the endotracheal (ET) tubes too deep at the position, the central venous catheters placed into the internal jugular veins,and the position of the thoracic drain tubes to be deep not enough causing the drain to fall.The complications after operation of monitoring devices were not common,including pneumothorax caused by ventilatory assistance,atelectasis and pneumonia caused by malposition of the ET tubes,totally in 11 cases.10 cases with cardiopulmonary abnormalities were discovered accidentally in all 162 cases(6.2%) when evaluation of monitoring devices.Conclusion Bedside chest CR not only can show the catheter position and the complications of the monitoring devices ,but also the cardiopulmonary abnormalities of patients in the ICU.

Objective To study the relationship between resting heart rate(RHR)and essential hypertension(EH).Methods 215 patients with EH and 82 healthy subjects underwent RHR detection.The relationship between RHR and the state of EH was analyzed.Results RHR in EH group was significantly higher than that in normal group[(78.9±9.1)bpm vs(69.5±10.9)bpm,P＜0.01)],RHR in different stages of EH was significantly different(F=21.280,P＜0.01,respectively),and increased with grades(P＜0.05 orP＜0.01).RHR in EH patients complicated with left ventricle hypertrophy(LVH)was higher than those with no LVH[(83.9±9.1)bpm vs (75.9±8.9)bpm,P＜0.01].There was positive correlation between RHR and LVH(r=0.8097,P＜0.01).Conclusion RHR is related to the development and progress of EH,and it may be one of the index for estimating the state of EH.

BACKGROUND:An amyloid-beta (Aβ) aggregation in the brain can induce nerve cel apoptosis, loss of synapses and functional damage. However, there is stil no effective intervention. Improving the synaptic plasticity provides an important direction for the treatment of early Alzheimer’s disease. OBJECTIVE: To screen the best model of Alzheimer’s disease and to explore the expression of synapse-associated proteins in Aβ25-35-injured PC12 neurons. METHODS:PC12 cels were induced by 50 μg/L nerve growth factor to differentiate into neuronal-like cels. Then, these cels were treated with Aβ25-35 at different concentrations. Consequently, cel survival rate was detected using cel counting kit-8; neurogranin and neuregulin immunofluorescence stainings were used to observe morphological changes of model cels; western blot used to detect the expression level of neurogranin, calmodulin kinase II, postsynaptic density-95 proteins. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Over time, the survival rate of PC12 neurons induced by Aβ25-35 was decreased in a dose-dependent manner. Shortened synaptic length, neuronal atrophy and sparsely interconnected neurons were visible. Expression levels of neurogranin, calmodulin kinase II and postsynaptic density-95 proteins were al down-regulated. These findings indicate that to screen the cel model of Alzheimer’s disease, the optimal concentration and interventional time of Aβ25-35are 10 μmol/L and 48 hours, respectively.

Objective To evaluate the influence of diabetes mellitus on changes in plasma osmotic pressure during bowel preparation in patients undergoing radical resection for colon cancer.Methods Sixty patients,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,aged 40-60 yr,weighing 50-75 kg,scheduled for elective radical resection for colon cancer,were included in the study.Of the 60 patients,30 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus served as test group (group DM),and 30 patients without diabetes mellitus served as control group (group C).Polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder was given orally for bowel preparation before surgery.In the early morning of the day on which preoperative preparation was performed (T1) and before opening venous channels after admission to the operating room (T2),venous blood samples were taken for determination of plasma colloid osmotic pressure (COP) and concentrations of plasma electrolytes (Na+,Cl-,K+) and blood glucose.Thirst was assessed using visual analogue scales at T1 and T2.Results Compared with the baseline value at T1,the plasma COP and degree of thirst were significantly increased at T2 in C and DM groups,blood glucose concentrations were decreased at T2 in group DM,and no significant changes were found in the plasma concentrations of electrolytes at T2 in both groups.Compared with group C,blood glucose concentrations were significantly increased,and no significant changes were found in the plasma concentrations of electrolytes at T1,2,no significant change was found in plasma COP and degree of thirst at T1,and the degree of thirst was decreased at T2,while the plasma COP was increased at T2 in group DM.Conclusion After bowel preparation in patients undergoing radical resection for colon cancer,although the thirsty sensation of the patients with diabetes mellitus is decreased,the plasma COP is obviously increased; thus infusion of appropriate crystalloid solution instead of colloid solution is required in case hyperosmolar coma develops.
