To investigate an approach of treatment for atrial fibrillation with discrete ablation lesion, 12 dogs with experimental atrial fibrillation underwent radiofrequency catheter ablation. Atrial lesion was made at the most vulnerable site. The results showed that in 10 of 12 dogs persistent fibrillation could be ablated. There was no significant change in sinus heart rate, P wave duration, and corrected sinoatrial node recovery time (cSNRT). The results suggested that paroxysmal atrial fibrillation could be eliminated by point ablation of the lesion, and that trigger activity might be involved in the mechanism of atrial fibrillation.

By establishing experimental modal of laryngeal allograft,the short-term histopathological changes of liver and kidney in Cyclosporine A (CsA)-treated rats receiving laryn- geal allograft were observed.The animals were divided into 3 groups.Group 1 was given CsA 15 mg?kg~(-1)/d by daily intraperitoneal injection for 2 weeks,Group 2 received CsA 25 mg?kg~(-1)/d, and the third group without CsA treatment served as control.All of recipients were sacrificed 14 days after transplantation.Histological examination showed that CsA nephrotoxicity was charac- terized by abundant vacuolation of the proximal tubular epithelium cells,hyaline regeneration of arterioles with thickening of vascular wall,and striped interstitial fibrosis and its hepatotoxicity by fatty degeneration with mild hyperplasia of Kupffer's cells and focal necrosis of hepatocytes. Histopathological changes of CsA-induced hepato- and nephrotoxicity of the recipients were closely correlated to the dosage of CsA received.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance of the changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) and cardiac markers for myocardial damage after on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Method Monitoring 25 patients of OPCABG (OPCABG group) and 25 patients of CABG (CABG group) R wave amplitude of V4 and V5 on antorior electrocardiographic lead and simultaneously determining cardiac markers for myocardial damage creatine phosphokinase isoenzyme MB (CPK-MB), tropenin I (cTnI) and heat-shock protein 70 (HSPT0) on different lime. Results R wave amplitude of V4 and V5 on anterior electrocardiographic lead had no significant changes on 0, 6, 18 and 24 hours after OPCABG. On the contrary, R wave amplitude of V4 and V5 on anterior electrocardiographic lead decreased significantly on 0, 6 and 18 hours after CABG (P<0.01), and came back to preoperative values 24 hours after operation. The levels of CPK-MB and cTnI reached its peak and higher significantly for CABG than those for OPCABG on 24 hours after operation, 29.29 μg/L vs 5.98 μg/L and 6.74 μg/L vs 1.91 μg/L respectively. HSP70 increased significantly on 6 hours after operation in two groups, but median of HSP70 was higher significantly in CABG group (11044.5 pmol/L vs1702.0 pmol/L). In the first day after operation the HSP70 peak was correlated significantly with the level of CPK-MB(r=0.370, P<0.01) and cTnI (r=0.458,P<0.01). Conclusions Myocardial damage is significantly alleviated for patients of OPCABG comparing with those of CABG. The HSF70 in circulation may indicate the degree of myocardial damage.

A rat model of laryngeal allotransplantation was established by employing an end- to-side anastomosis of donor bilateral common carotid arteries to recipient common carotid artery and external jugular vein separatively.Thirteen allotransplants were performed in 26 SD rats.All recipients survived.Three days after the operation,a visible fibrinous adherence was observed around the laryngeal grafts.By the 7th day,the adherence became intensified.The airway was plugged with mucoid material,and the viable grafts were surrounded by connective tissues.Our results confirmed that the rat model was practicable for laryngeal allograft.Besides the difference of the major histocompatibility between the donor and recipient,the skill of microsurgery,the prevention of infections and the methods of donor organ flushing are all vital to a successful trans- plantation.

Objective To study the value of using endoscopy iodine staining combined detecting the expression of p53, survivin and telomerase in the diagnosis of early esophageal carcinoma and precancerous lesions. Methods Three hundred patients who received routine gastrescopy and had high risk of esophageal carcinoma were examined by the iodine dyeing on their esophageal mucosa with 2. 5% Lugol solu-tion. Multiple biopsies were taken from the unstained or light-stained areas when their diameters were over 5mm for pathology diagnosis. The expression of p53, survivin and telomerase were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results With the Lugol staining method, the incidences of light, moderate and high grade dysplasia and early esophageal carcinoma were 16. 3% ,9. 7% ,3.7% and 4. 3% respectively. The expression of p53, survivin and telomerase were related and the unstained were related to the expression of p53, survivin and telomerase in dysplasia and early esophageal carcinoma. Using endoscopy iodine staining combined testing p53, survivin and telomerase showed sensitiv-ity of 100%, specificity of 92. 3% and accuracy of 91.8% to diagnose of early esophageal carcinoma and high grade dysplasia. Conclusion Lugol solution chromoendscopy combined assay of p53, survivin and telomersse might be useful in the diagnosing early esophageal carcino-ma and precancerous lesion.

Background:Pancreatitis is the main complication of ERCP,and a variety of risk factors will increase its risk. Studies showed that temporary pancreatic duct stent can reduce the incidence of post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP). Aims:To study the efficacy and safety of prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting on preventing PEP in patients with risk factors. Methods:Patients undergone ERCP and accompanied with one or more PEP-associated risk factors from November 2013 to November 2016 at Huaibei People's Hospital were enrolled,and were divided randomly into pancreatic duct stenting group (observation group)and non-stenting group (control group). Serum levels of amylase at 4,24 and 48 hours after the procedure and incidence of PEP were compared between the two groups. Results:A total of 297 patients were enrolled, and 147 patients were in observation group,and 150 patients in control group. No significant differences in gender,age and ERCP disease spectrum were found between the two groups (P > 0. 05). Incidence of PEP was significantly decreased in observation group than in control group (6. 1% vs. 16. 0%,P < 0. 05). Serum levels of amylase at 4,24 and 48 hours after the procedure were significantly decreased in observation group than in corresponding control group (P < 0. 05), however,no significant difference in incidence of hyperamylasemia was found between the two groups (59. 2% vs. 54. 7%, P > 0. 05). Conclusions:Prophylactic pancreatic duct stenting may decrease the incidence of PEP in patients accompanied with PEP-associated risk factors, especially could decrease the severity of PEP. However, the incidence of hyperamylasemia is not decreased.

Objective To analyze the volume and position of the gross tumor volumes (GTV) in primary esophageal cancer based on contrast-enhanced three-dimensional (3D),four-dimensional (4D) and cone beam (CB) computed tomography (CT).Methods A total of thirty-four patients underwent 3D-CT and 4D-CT simulation scans for computer treatment plan and contrast-enhanced CBCT scans were conducted prior to the first treatment.GTV3D,GTV4D50,internal GTVMIP (IGTVMIP) and internal GTVCBCT (IGTVCBCT) were delineated on 3D-CT,4D-CT50 (the end expiratory phase),4D-CTMIP (the maximum intensity projection),and CBCT datasets,respectively.The IGTV10 was defined as 10 respiratory phases GTVs in 4D-CT.To evaluate the difference in position,volume and the volumes encompassed characteristic.Results The significant difference was observed in the volumes [IGTV10 > (IGTVCBCT or IGTVMIP) > (GTV3D or GTV4D50)] regardless of the tumor location.Regarding IGTV10 as the standard volume,the underestimations or overestimations between IGTV10 and IGTVCBCT were larger than that of between IGTV10 and JGTVMIP (t =-8.294--3.192,P < 0.05).However,there was no significant difference between the areas of IGTV10 which excluded in IGTVCBCT and IGTV3D (P > 0.05).The GTV4D50/ IGTVCBCT ratio for upper esophageal tumors was negatively correlated to motion vector (r =-0.756,P < 0.05).The centroid coordinates of IGTVCBCT in AP direction were significantly different from the test volumes (GTV3D,GTV4D50,IGTVMIP and IGTV10) (t =-3.559--2.435,P < 0.05).The IGTV10/IGTVCBCT ratio was positively correlated to motion vector (r =0.695,P < 0.05) for middle esophageal tumors.The centroid coordinates of IGTVCBCT were significantly different IGTV10 (t =2.201,P <0.05) in AP direction.For distal esophageal tumors,the significant difference was observed in the centroid coordinate between IGTVcBcT and IGTVMIP (t =-2.365,P < 0.05) in LR direction.The percentage of IGTV10 excluded the IGTVcBcT were significantly correlated to the motion vector (r =0.540,0.678,P < 0.05) for both middle and distal esophageal tumors.The mean MI value of IGTVCBCT to the other four test volumes ranged from 0.65 to 0.72.Conclusions CBCT has much motion information than 3D-CT but less than IGTV10.CBCT was similar to MIP images based on respiration motion.However,the target motion information encompassed in CBCT and MIP images cannot be exchanged to each other.
