ObjectiveTo valuate the three-dimensional CT angiography(3DCTA) in diagnosing blood vessel diseases.MethodsCTA findings of 284 patients confirmed with blood vessel diseases were retrospectively analyzed.They were divided into two groups:141 cases of head and neck and 143 cases of trunk and extremities.Scan was performed with the beam collimation of 0.625 ～ 3.0mm,increment of 0.3 ～ 1.4mm,pitch of 1.0 ～ 1.5,with the gross contrast medium of 1.5 ～ 2.0ml/kg.3D imaging methods included volume rendering(VR),multi-planar reformatting (MPR),curved planar reformatting(CPR),surface shade display(SSD),maximum intensity project(MIP) and virtual endoscopy(VE).The diagnostic results of CTA were compared with those of DSA and/or surgery.ResultsIn this study,3D images of vasculature met the diagnostic criterion.The diagnostic sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of CTA was 97.28％,82.35％ and 96.48％,respectively.The size of artery aneurysm shown with CTA and DSA had no significant difference( P ＞0.05 ),both smaller than that in surgery( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion3DCTA could be used in diagnosing the cardiovascular diseases and compensate the limitation of conventional CT.It had the characteristics of non-invasion,high accuracy and could partly substitute DSA.

Objective:To explore influence of evidence -based nursing mode on lifestyle and negative emotion in aged pa‐tients with coronary heart disease (CHD) .Methods:A total of 88 CHD patients treated in our department of cardiology were selected .According to random number table ,they were randomly and equally divided into routine nursing group and evidence-based nursing group (received evidence -based nursing based on routine nursing ) . Unhealthy lifestyle status , negative emotion score ,nursing satisfaction and incidence rate of adverse events were recorded and compared between two groups before and four weeks after intervention .Results:Compared with routine nursing group after intervention ,there were significant reductions in percentages of smoking (40.9% vs .22.7% ) ,drinking (54.5% vs .38.6% ) ,high fat diet (43.2% vs .29.5% ) ,physical inactivity (45.5% vs .25.0% ) and overweight or obesity (52.3% vs .29.5% ) in evidence‐based nursing group , P<0.05 all;compared with before intervention ,there were significant reductions in scores of self -rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS) in both groups after intervention(P<0.05 or <0.01) , and compared with routine nursing group ,scores of SAS and SDS significantly reduced in evidence -based nursing group , P<0.05 all .Compared with routine nursing group ,there was significant rise in nursing satisfaction (86.4% vs .97.7% ) and significant reduction in incidence rate of adverse events (25.0% vs .11.4% ) in evidence -based nursing group , P<0.05 all .Conclusion:Evidence-based nursing can effectively reduce unhealthy lifestyle and remit the negative emotional state in aged CHD patients ,which is worth extending in clinic .

ObjectiveTo evaluate the attentional ability following brain injury.Methods26 patients with brain injury including traumatic brain injury(TBI) and stroke, and 30 normal volunteers were randomly selected. Different attention tests(Continuous Performance Test, Stroop Color-Word Interference Test, Trail Making Test and Paced Auditory Serial Addition Task) were applied to assess the attentional ability of the patients and normal volunteesrs. Then the data were sorted out before statistical analysis was performed.ResultsThere was significant difference between the normal and brain injury groups in scores(P＜0.05). There was no significant difference between TBI and stroke in scores(P＞0.05).ConclusionThe multiple aspects of attention deficit existed in the patients with brain injury, including sustained attention, selective attention, divided attention and attentional switching. Clinical manifestations of attention deficit after traumatic brain injury and stroke is closely related with the injury site.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of salvianolate on rats with postoperative intestinal adhesion and to explore the prevention mechanism. METHODS: Forty SD male rats with intestinal adhesion were randomly divided into four groups: untreated group, low-dose salvianolate-treated group (12 mg/kg), medium-dose salvianolate-treated group (24 mg/kg) and high-dose salvianolate-treated group (48 mg/kg), with another ten SD male rats as normal control. Intraperitoneal injection of glucose was administered to the rats in the normal control group and the untreated group, and intraperitoneal injection of salvianolate was administered to the rats in the low-, medium- and high-dose salvianolate-treated groups. They were all treated for 8 days and once a day. On the eighth day after surgery the blood samples of each group were collected. Grades of intestinal adhesion were ranked by macroscopic observation. The adhesive tissues between viscera and belly wall were taken for pathological observation. The levels of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), interleukin-4 (IL-4) and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. RESULTS: Salvianolate can significantly reduce the extent of postoperative intestinal adhesion, obviously decrease the levels of IL-1beta, TNF-alpha and inhibit the hyperplasy of fibrous connective tissue. However, there was no significant impact on the level of IL-4. CONCLUSION: Salvianolate can reduce the extent of postoperative intestinal adhesion, decrease the expression of IL-1beta and TNF-alpha and inhibit the hyperplasy of fibrous connective tissue. This may be the mechanism of salvianolate in preventing intestinal adhesion.

Objective To establish the measurement of IgA1 O-glycan-specific antiglycan autoantibodies in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN),and evaluate their role in the development and progression of IgAN.Methods In the IgAN regular follow-up cohort of Peking University Institute of Nephrology from January 2006 to December 2015,170 patients drawn by stratified randomization were enrolled in this study.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine the levels of plasma galactose-deficient IgA1 (Gd-IgA1) and antiglycan autoantibody (IgG and IgA1).The correlation between antiglycan autoantibodies and clinicopathological parameters was analyzed by linear correlation and multiple linear regression analysis.The receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) was used to evaluate the value of plasma anti glycide antibodies in the diagnosis of IgAN.Results IgG and IgA1 antiglycan antoantibodies that specifically recognized Fab-hinge region (Fab-HR) antigens could be detected in both IgAN and healthy control group.Agglutinin inhibition test showed that the specific antigen epitope was N-acetylgalactosamine (GalNAc) residue exposed to galactose deficiency in IgA1 hinged region.There was no significant difference in the absolute levels of plasma IgG antiglycan autoantibodies between IgAN and healthy controls (P=0.963).After adjustment of the plasma level of IgG,the normalized antiglycan autoantibody (ln[IgG antiglycan antibody/IgG]) in patients with IgANwas significantly higher than that in healthy controls (0.58±0.31 vs 0.37±0.11,P ＜ 0.01).The normalized level of IgG antiglycan autoantibody in IgAN patients was positively correlated with 24 h urine protein level during renal biopsy (Spearman r=0.183,P ＜ 0.05),and was also significantly correlated with 24 h urinary protein level after adjusting for baseline clinical and pathological factors (β=0.713,95％CI 0.323-1.102,P ＜ 0.01).The area under ROC curve (AUC) of normalized IgG antiglycan autoantibody in the diagnosis of IgAN was 0.764 (95％ CI 0.682-0.845,P ＜ 0.05).Using the cut-off value of 0.396,the sensitivity and specificity of normalized IgG antiglycan autoantibody for IgAN were 0.729 and 0.700 respectively.There was no significant difference in the absolute or normalized levels of IgA1 antiglycan autoantibodies between IgAN patients and healthy controls.Conclusions Gd-IgA1-specific antiglycan autoantibodies can be detected both in IgAN patients and healthy controls.They are elevated in some patients with IgAN and possibly involved in the development of IgAN.

Chest trauma is one of the most common injuries. Venous thromboembolism (VTE) as a common complication of chest trauma seriously affects the quality of patients′ life and even leads to death. Although there are some consensus and guidelines on the prevention and treatment of VTE at home and abroad, the current literatures lack specificity considering the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of VTE in patients with chest trauma have their own characteristics, especially for those with blunt trauma. Accordingly, China Chest Injury Research Society and editorial board of Chinese Journal of Traumatology organized relevant domestic experts to jointly formulate the Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of chest trauma venous thromboembolism associated with chest trauma (2022 version). This consensus provides expert recommendations of different levels as academic guidance in terms of the characteristics, clinical manifestations, risk assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of chest trauma-related VTE, so as to offer a reference for clinical application.
