Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the ST segment changing in treadmill exercise test positive for the diagnosis of coronary heart disease. Methods 133 patients (hospitalized from January 2014 to January 2015) with the ST segment depression≥0.1 mm in treadmill exercise test were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into the observation group and the control group according to the coronary angiography (the dividing line is artery stenosis is more than 50% or not ). ST-segment depression margin and recovery time of the two groups were compared. ST-segment depression margin and recovery time of patients with different vascular lesion number were also analyzed. Results In 133 cases, 79 cases of coronary angiography were positive(59.4%). Positive rate of ST segment recovery time(> 90 s) was 76.9% in. The maximal ST-segment depression margin and recovery time in the observation group were more than the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Compared with the maximal ST segment depression margin in single-vessel stenosis group , the difference in the double-vessel and multi-vessel stenosis group was not statistically significant(P > 0.05). But in terms of ST-segment recovery time, the double-vessel and multivessel stenosis group were higher than the single-vessel stenosis group , and the difference was statistically significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion Clinically, patients with TET positive combined the ST segment depression and ST-segment recovery time are important hints for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease , and is worthy of promotion.

BACKGROUND: Tendon injury is a common injury in the department of hand surgery. The postoperative recovery of hand function is always affected by tendon adhesion after tendon repair. To prevent tendon adhesion, especially the adhesion after flexor tendon repair is always the key in the rehabilitation of hand surgery.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the impact of decimeter wave therapy on tendon adhesion and healing after flexor tendon repair.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study based on experimental animal SETTING: Provincial Institute of Orthopaedics.MATERIALS: The study was conducted in Hebei Provincial Institute of Orthopaedics from January 2001 to June 2003. Totally 28 Leghorn chickens were randomly divided into decimeter wave therapy group and operation control group.METHODS: The flexor digitorum profundus tendons of Leghorn chickens were transected and repaired. Decimeter wave therapy was applied to the toes on chickens of decimeter wave therapy group. Animals were executed at week 3 or 6 after operation for macroscopical observation and histological observation under optical and electron microscopes, and biomechanical analysis.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Principle index: results of macroscopical observation and the observatory results under optical and electron microscope, and the results of biomechanics. Secondary index: results of the classification of tendon adhesion and healing.RESULTS: It could be seen under macroscopical and histological observation that the adhesion significantly reduced in decimeter wave therapy group. The protein synthesis of fibroblast was significantly more than that of the control group under electron microscope. As indicated by biomechanical analysis, the tendon gliding distance[ (5.37 ± 1.06) mm at week 3, (6.76 ± 1.52) mm at week 6]and the rehabilitative compliance( 1. 04 ± 0.65 at week 3)of decimeter wave therapy group were bigger than those of the control group respectively [ (4.43 ±1.03) mm, (5.33±1.27)mmand0.63±0.31](P <0.05), and the anti-tension strength of decimeter wave in therapy group (N, 26. 93 ± 4. 80,47. 12 ± 7.76) was significantly bigger than that of the control group respectively(21.29 ±4. 88 and 38.96 ±7.52) (P <0. 01).CONCLUSION: Decimeter wave therapy can effectively promote tendon healing and reduce tendon adhesions and provide prerequisites for early rehabilitative training after flexor tendon repair. Hence, it is an ideal assistance in the prevention of tendon adhesion.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical effects of troponin alone and troponin combining copeptin in early diagnosis of Non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) by meta-analysis. Methods: We searched Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane, Pubmed, CNKI and Wanfang database (1995-01 to 2015-10) for the publications of troponin alone and troponin combining copeptin in early diagnosis of NSTEMI. Based on inclusion and exclusion criteria, we screened the literatures and evaluated their quality by QUADAS items. Manager 5.2 and Meta-DiSc 1.4 software were used to study the pooled sensitivity and speciifcity for troponin alone and troponin combining copeptin in NSTEMI early diagnosis, and to calculate the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (SROC) with the area under curve (AUC). Results: There were 11 articles including 1 Chinese article enrolled. For NSTEMI diagnosis, compared with troponin alone, troponin combining copeptin showed the higher sensitivity (90% vs 75%), but lower speciifcity (60% vs 87%). For SROC, both AUC were > 0.7, while the AUC of troponin combining copeptin was even lower (0.805 vs 0.891). Conclusion: Combination of troponin and copeptin had the better sensitivity for NSTEMI early diagnosis, although it with lower speciifcity while increased copeptin level might suggest the patients associated with other clinical conditions such as heart failure or stroke which were important in clinical practice.

Objective To evaluate the impact of positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) on hemodynamic variables including central venous pressure (CVP),mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) in patients with central respiratory failure treated by mechanical ventilation.Methods Thirty two neurosurgical patients with central respiratory failure,male 19,female 13,mean age (58.8 ± 13.9)years,GCS ≤ 8 points,were enrolled in this prospective,self-control study between June 1,2009,and May 31,2011.Patients were excluded in cases of severe cardiopulmonary disorders,pericardial diseases,person machine confrontation,administration of vasoactive drugs,and hypervolemia or hypovolemia.On admission to neurosurgical intensive care unit,all patients were mechanically ventilated in the mode of synchronized intermittent mandatory ventilation.Hemodynamic effects of six randomly set levels of end-expiratory pressures (0,3,6,9,12,15 cm H2O,every 10 min,1cm H2O =0.098 kPa) were studied in all patients.CVP,MAP and HR were recorded at each of the six end-expiratory pressure levels.One-way analysis of variance and simple linear regression model were used for data analysis.Results The levels of central venous pressure were elevated with increase in end-expiratory pressures.CVP levels were positively correlated with the levels of PEEP (R =0.468,P =0.000),with a simple linear regression equation expressed as:CVP (cm H2O) =7.870 +0.344 ×PEEP (cm H2O),The levels of MAP showed no statistically significant changes at different PEEP levels (F =1.390,P =0.227).No linear correlation between MAP,HR and PEEP levels was found (R =0.042 and 0.160,P =0.413 and 0.002).Conclusions CVP values would be overestimated during mechanical ventilation at different PEEP levels in mechanically ventilated patients due to central respiratory failure,positive correlation existed between CVP values and PEEP levels,whereas MAP was unaffected by different PEEP levels.This study could probably offer a quantitative reference for correct assessment of such a hemodynamic variable as CVP for mechanically ventilated patients without discontinuance of PEEP.Further studies are needed to determine whether these findings could be confirmed in a prospective manner.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum corticosterone and inflammatory factors in rats with different burn degrees. Methods One hundred and fifty male healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, moderate and severe burn hormone treatment groups, and moderate and severe burn physiological saline treatment groups, each group with 30 rats. After anesthesia, the rat models with burn Ⅱ,Ⅲ degrees of 30% back surface area were replicated; the burn, fluid infusion and steroid therapy were not carried out in the normal control group. After modeling, the moderate and severe burn hormone treatment groups were given intra-abdominal cavity injection of hydrocortisone 200 mg/d; while in the moderate and severe burn normal saline treatment groups, normal saline 4 mL·kg-1·d-1 was injected into the abdominal cavity. The dynamic changes of serum corticosterone, tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) levels were detected at 1, 4, 12 hours and 1, 3 and 7 days after burn injury in each group. Results The levels of serum corticosterone at different time points after moderate and severe burn injury treatment were higher than those in normal control group, the degree of increase at 4 hours after injury in severe burn saline treatment group was more significant than that in moderate and severe burn hormone treatment groups and moderate burn saline treatment group (ng/L: 200.45±2.63 vs. 110.56±9.23, 146.02±3.28, 160.02±8.22). Except the level at 1 hour after injury in the moderate and severe burn hormone treatment groups, the TNF-αlevels in all the other groups at different time points were significantly higher than those in the normal control group (all P < 0.05); the IL-6 levels in various treatment groups were all higher than the IL-6 level in the normal control group, moreover, the increase degree on 1 day after injury in the severe burn saline treatment group was more obvious than the degrees in the moderate and severe burn hormone treatment groups and the moderate burn saline treatment group [TNF-α(ng/L): 39.78±4.30 vs. 15.99±1.40, 20.58±2.10, 25.98±1.60, IL-6(ng/L): 210.20±6.70 vs. 125.45±3.10, 149.81±4.20, 161.40±3.80, all P < 0.05]. Conclusion The burn stress may lead to the significant increase of serum corticosterone level in rats, and the stress dose of hydrocortisone has a certain regulatory effect on serum corticosterone and inflammatory factors in rats after different degrees of burn.
