Objective Approach to safe and effective lung protection strategies on ventricular septal defect infants during perioperation.Methods There were 4 groups as blank control group,ambroxol group,methylprednisolone group and ulinastatin group.We tried to find a safe and effective stratege on lung protection by comparing each other on the respiratory function indexes and inflammation biomarkers.Results Postoperation of VSD repair,respiratory function indexes such as Ppeak,oxygenation index inspiratory resistance and mechanical ventilation time were significantly different (P ＜ 0.05) among the 4 groups.The inflammation biomarkers such as WBC,CRP and PCT had no differences the first day(P ＞0.05),and were statistically significant the third day (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Ambroxol,methylprednisolone and ulinastatin all are effective drugs for lung protection.Considering about the clinical curative effect and side effects,ambroxol is more safe and effective relatively.

Objective To establish a standardized scoring system after tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) correction and explore its clinical application values.Methods During the period of Jan.2006 and Apr.2014 at the Third Affiliated Hospital,Zhengzhou University and Henan Provincial People's Hospital,a total of 624 infants undergoing stage Ⅰ anatomic correction were selected and their common clinical parameters such as liver size,systolic blood pressure,urinary volume,oxygenation index and occurrences of complications were recorded and scored.The cases were divided into low-risk,medium-risk and high-risk groups according to scores.The relevant endpoint parameters,including mortality or survival,on-pump time,intensive care unit(ICU) duration,hospitalization and medical expenses were recorded to analyze their relationship with postoperative scores.Results The data indicated that the short-term mortality after repair of tetralogy of Fallot was 5 ％.Moreover,there was no statistical difference (P =0.309) in the mortality between the lowrisk group (total score ＜ 3 and mortality of 0) and medium-risk group,and the mortality of the medium-risk group was statistically different(P ＜ 0.001) from that of the high-risk group (total score ＞ 7 and mortality of ＞ 80％).The postoperative standby time,ICU stay,total hospital stays and cost increased with the rise of the score(P ＜ 0.001),and there were no statistical differences in hospital stays(P =0.469) and cost(P =0.365) between the medium-risk group and the high-risk group.Conclusions Based upon common clinical parameters,a standardized scoring system has been successfully established for patients after TOF correction,which plays an important role in gauging the disease progression and predicating the immediate postoperative outcomes of TOF.

Objective To investigate the clinical feature,pathologic characteristics and prognosis of non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder tumor in young and old patients.Methods From January 2000 to March 2011,the clinicial data of 48 young patients (age ≤ 40 years) with non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder tumor and 50 patients randomly selected with non-muscle invasive urothelial tumor (age ≥ 60 years) were analyzed and compared retrospectively.There were 38 male and 10 female with a median age of 35.4 years (range,18 to 40).There were 34 male and 16 female with a median age of 68.5 years (range,68.5 to 87).All patients had postoperative intravesical instillation for one year.Young patients presented with gross hematuria mostly,which were similmar with old patients.Solitary tumor were 45 cases and 40 cases,and the multiple tumors were 3 cases and 10 cases in the young and old groups,respectively.Of the young group,40 patients were treated by transurethral resection of bladder tumor,and 8 patients by partial cystectomy.Of the old group,35 patients were treated by transurethral resection of bladder tumor,and 15 patients by partial cystectomy.Results According to 2004 WHO classification of papillary urothelial tumor,lower grade tumor were more frequentto occur in young group than in old group.There was significant difference in incidence of PUNLMP between young group and old group (16/48,33.3％ and 8/50,16.0％,P ＜ 0.05).There was significant difference in incidence of high grade bladder cancer between young group and old group (7/48,14.6％ and 17/50,34.0％,P ＜0.05).The incidence of PTa tumor was 70.8％ and 44.0％ in the young and old groups,respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Median follow up was 34 months (range,6 to 132) in young group and 35 months (range,6 to 130) in old group,respectively.Five-year recurrence rate was 36.7％ and 64.3％ respectively (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Non-muscle invasive urothelial bladder tumor in young patients had a better prognosis than those in the old group,with lower grade and stage at diagnosisand lower recurrence rate.

Objective To evaluate the effects of pulmonary recruitment (RM) in severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) with different body position and positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) mode in stage of mechanical ventilation. Methods From June 2013 to June 2016, 80 cases of ICU hospitalized patients with clinical data were enrolled, and they lay in the prone or supine position (prone position group and supine position group, each of 40 cases). The hemodynamic parameters including heart rate (HR), central venous pressure (CVP) and peripheral arterial pressure, respiratory mechanics index including respiratory rate (RR), respiratory system compliance (Crs) and platform pressure (Pplate), and the changes of blood gas analysis index were monitored to observe the effects of RM in different positions with positive end expiratory pressure increasing method. Results The levels of oxygenation index and arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) were improved 3, 5 and 7 d after treatment compared with those 1 d after treatment (P<0.05), and they were improved significantly in prone position group than those in supine position group 3 and 5 d after treatment (P<0.05). The levels of RR, Crs and Pplate 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after RM had significant differences compared with those before RM (P<0.01). The levels of HR, CVP, peripheral arterial pressure 15 min, 30 min, 1 h, 6 h, 12 h and 24 h after RM had no significant differences compared with those before RM (P>0.05). Conclusions For patients with severe ARDS, early implementation of prone position ventilation combined with PEEP increasing method re-expansion treatment is safe and reliable. It can effectively improve oxygenation level and help to improve the survival rate.

ObjectiveTo investigate the finasteride application during the off-cycle of intermittent androgen blockade (IAB) in patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with IAB.MethodsEighty-seven patients with advanced prostate cancer were divided into two groups: forty-nine patients received IAB (group A), and thirty-eight patients underwent IAB and finasteride during the off-cycle of IAB (group B). The time of treatment cycle and the time to disease progression were compared between the two groups. ResultsThe patients in group A completed 89 treatment cycles and the mean cycle length was (12.8±5.4) months [treatment time and non-treatment time were (6.6±3.5) months and (7.1±4.8) months, respectively]. The patients in group B completed 85 cycles and the mean cycle length was (15.3±5.9) months [treatment time and non-treatment time were (6.9±3.2) months and (9.2v±3.9) months, respectively]. There was a significant difference between group A and B in the mean cycle length and the non-treatment time (P=0.0428,P=0.03).The 3-year progression rate was ( 34.8±3.5 )% in group A and ( 28.4±2.7)% in groups B ( P=0.035). ConclusionsThe application of finasteride during the off-cycle of IAB in patients with advanced prostate cancer treated with intermittent androgen blockade (IAB) can delay progression of advanced prostate cancer.

Objective To investigate the changes of amplitude of low frequency fluctuation (ALFF) of the resting state fMRI in cognitively impaired Parkinson' s disease patients and discuss its underling neurophysiological mechanism.Methods Blood oxygen level-dependent low-frequency amplitude (ALFF) in resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging were calculated in 16 healthy controls(HC) and 29 idiopathic Parkinson's disease patients (16 of which were patients with cognitive normal,PDCN and 13 with cognitive impairment,PDCI).The brain regions showing increased and decreased ALFF in patients were demonstrated by comparing normal subjects with 2-sample t-test with threshold of P＜ 0.05 and the analysis of the relationship between the different regions of the brain activity and cognitive function tests scores were also analyzed.Results Compared with PDCN,the PDCI patients showed decreased activity in the caudate nucleus (-3,9,12),occipital lobe (0,-78,-15) and medial temporal lobe (42,9,-27) and increased activity in the superior frontal gyrus (9,63,24).PDCI patients showed increased activity mainly in the precuneus and inferior parietal lobules compared with controls.Additionally,the regions with ALFF changes had significant correlations with the cognitive performance of patients as measured by Montreal cognitive test(Beijing Version) and neuropsychological tests (including memory,attention,visuospatial functions and executive function).Conclusion The results demonstrate that there is a specific pattern of intrinsic activity in PDCI providing insights into neurophysiological mechanisms of the Parkinson's disease dementia.

Objective: To summarize the clinical experience and short-term outcome of minimally invasive occlusion in patients with peri-membranous ventricular septal defect (PmVSD) via right subaxillary route under trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) guidance.
Methods: A total of 122 PmVSD patients treated in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2015-07 were summarized. There were 54 male and 68 female with the mean age of (2.7±2.2, 0.5-9.7) years, mean body weight of (13.9±6.0, 6.1-38.0) kg and mean PmVSD diameter of (3.8±0.8, 2.5-7.0) mm. The patients were taken left lateral position, a (2-3) cm incision was performed along right mid-axillary line between the 3rd rib and 4th rib, the thoracic entrance was at 4th inter-costal space. A purse-string suture was conducted on right atrial surface, a special hollow probe was inserted into right atrium and crossed tricuspid into right ventricle under TEE guidance; the probe was adjusted to the point or crossed VSD into left ventricle followed by guide wire insertion to establish a deliver pathway, and ifnally, occlusion device was regularly deployed to close the defect. Post-operative ECG, TEE and chest X-ray were conducted for followed-up study.
Results: There were 119/122 (98.4%) patients occluded successfully and 3 failed patients were converted to cardiopulmonary bypass surgery at the original incision. The average size of occluder was (4.9±1.1, 4-10) mm and all devices were concentric. The patients were followed up at the mean of (8.3±5.0, 1.0-19.8) months, during that period, 12/119 (10.1%) had new mild tricuspid regurgitation, 16 (13.4%) suffered from incomplete right bundle branch block, 4 (3.4%) had small residual shunt and 2 of them were self-closed at 1 and 3 months after operation respectively. There were no complete atrio-ventricular block, no new aortic valve regurgitation and no device dislocation.
Conclusion: Minimally invasive occlusion of PmVSD via right subaxillary route under TEE guidance was a safe, effective, feasible and better cosmetic method for treating relevant patients; while its long-term outcome should be further observed.

Objective To investigate the effects of sevoflurane wash-in during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on myocardial injury in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG).Methods Forty ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients aged 50-64 yr,weighing 53-90 kg undergoing scheduled for CABG under CPB were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =20): control group (group C) and sevoflurane group(group S).Anesthesia was maintained with propofol 3-5 mg·kg-1 ·h-1 and sufentanil 0.5-1.0 μg·kg-1 ·h-1 in both groups.Sevoflurane 1％-2％ was washed into extracorporeal circuit during CPB in group S.Blood samples were taken from central vein after the induction of anesthesia (T0,baseline) and at 6,12 and 24 h (T1-3) after operation for determination of plasma cardiac troponin I(cTnI) concentration and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) activity.Myocardial specimens were obtained from right auricle before aortic cross-clamping and at the end of CPB for ultrastructure examination.The severity of mitochondria injury was assessment and scored (0 =normal,4 =impaired inner mitochondrial membrane integrity).Results CPB significantly increased plasma cTnI concentration at T1-3 as compared with the baseline values at T0 before CPB.Plasma cTnI concentration was significantly lower at T2 and T3 in group S than in group C.Mitochondrial injury index was significantly lower at the end of CPB in group S than in group C.There was no significant difference in plasma CK-MB activity between the 2 groups.Conclusion Wash-in of sevoflurane during CPB can attenuate myocardial injury in patients undergoing CABG.

Objective To assess the clinical value of intravesical prostatic protrusion (IPP) measured by transabdominal uhrasonography in judgement of benign prostatic obstruction (BPO). Methods According to pressure-flow study, 109 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia were di-vided into 3 groups (non-obstruction, equivocal obstruction and obstruction). IPP was measured by transabdominal ultrasonography in all patients. The difference of IPP between different groups was studied and the correlation between IPP and the parameters reflecting BPO was analyzed. Results IPP value of the non-obstruction group, equivocal obstruction group and obstruction group was 2.7 ±1.2 mm, 2.9±1.4 mm and 15.4±6.5 mm. There was significant difference in IPP between the non-obstruction group, equivocal obstruction group and obstruction group (P<0.01). IPP was correlated with the parameters including Pdet. Qbeg, Pdet. Qmax, Pdet. Qend, Qmax and A-G number, Spearman's ratio was 0. 628, 0. 714, 0. 591, -0. 450 and 0. 729(P<0.01), respectively. The sensi-tivity and specificity of judging BPO were 89.9% and 97.5% if the cut-off was IPP≥10 mm. Con-clasion IPP measured by transabdominal ultrasonography could be a convenient and accurate method in diagnosis of BPO.
