Objective To investigate the relation between the changes d myocardial collagen content before and after ventricu-lar assist device (LVAD) application and the prognosis in dilated cardiomyopathy. Methods Patients was divided to two groups ac-cording to the prognosis (weaning or transplantation) after LVAD application. Left ventricular samples were collected from the patients (weaning group n= 10, transplanted group n=8) at the time the LVADs were implanted, and again during cardiac transplantation ( n = 8 ). The content of neutral salt soluble collagen (NSC) and acid soluble collagen (ASC) were measured by Sired collagen assay and total collagen and insoluble collagen (ISC) by quantification of hydroxyproline. Moreover, protein quantification of each collagen fraction was performed simultaneously. Results Before LVAD implantation all collagen fraction and their protein contents were higher in the weaning group than that in the transplanted group ( P <0.05), but the difference in the collagen fraction disappeared after LVAD support. Comparison of the pre- and post-LVAD subgroups of the transplanted group showed an increase of NSC and its protein content and total hydroxyproline after LVAD support (P<0.05). Conclusion The significances of myocardial intersititial remodeling in DCM are not identical. Some myocardial collagen and protein content increases may be related to good prognosis. The mechanism of LVAD improving cardiac function may be related to the changes of myocardial intersitial collagen.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy and safety of ropivacaine for combined spinal-epidural anesthesia(CSE).Methods 40 patients,who intended to undergo elective lower limb or perineum surgery,were randomly divided into two groups,each with 20 cases,ropivacaine were used in treatment group,while bupivacaine in control group the differences of feeling,motor block and recovery time,as well as their side effect in the two groups were compared.Results The maximum of spread time of anesthesia and the recovery time,and side effect in treatment group were similar to those in control group.The onset time of motor block and the peak time of motor block were longer in treatment group than that in control group,the maximum modified Bromage scale in treatment group was lower than that in control group(P

Aromatase inhibitors(AIs) are standard therpy for postmenopausal women with estrogen responsive breast cancers.By inhibiting the aromatase enzyme,causing decreases in endogenous estrogens,the treatment of Als is responsible for lower bone mineral density(BMD) and increased fractures.Therefore,early recognition, prevention,and/or treatment of AI-induced bone loss is needed.Zoledronic acid is specific inhibitors of osteoclasts and extensively used in bone metastasis patients.Recently, there are several trials evaluating the use of in- travenous zoledronic acid as prevention and treatment of AI-induced bone loss in postmenopausal women with breast cancer.In this article, we aim to review the use of zoledronic acid in this population including the response and safety.

Objective To evaluate the application of combination of BOLD-fMRI and diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) in pre-operative evaluation of cerebral tumors located at the left language related areas.Methods A non-vocal button pressing semantic judging paradigm was developed and validated in 10 right-handed volunteers at 3 T.After validation, this protocol combined with DTI were applied to 15 patients with left cerebral tumor prior to surgical resection, and 3 of them had aphasia fMRI data analysis was on subject-specific basis by one-sampled t-test.The distance from the tumor to Broca area and pre-central "hand-knot" area were measured separately.Functional language laterality index (LI) was calculated by taking out Broca area and Wernicke area.Three dimensional architecture of frontal lobe white matter fibers, especially arcuate fasciculus, were visualized using diffusion tensor tractography on Volume-one software.The images demonstrating relationship among tumor, language activation areas and white matter fibers were reviewed by neurosurgeons as part of pre-operative planning.One year after the operation, patients were followed up with MRI and language function test Results The non-vocal semantic judging paradigm successfully detect Broca area, Wernicke area and pre-central "hand-knot" area In 12 of 15 patients, the relationship of Broca area and pre-central motor area to the left brain tumor in language related areas was identified, which make the pre-operative neurosurgical plan applicable to minimize the disruption of language and motor.8 patients had the left language dominant hemisphere, 3 patients with the right language dominant hemisphere and 1 patient with bilateral dominance.The other 3 patients' fMRI data were corrupted by patients' motion.Diffusion tensor images were corrupted by motion in 1 patient but demonstrated the impact of tumor on left arcuate fasciculus in 14 patients.Diffusion tensor tractography showed disruption of left arcuate fasciculus in 3 patients, deviation/deformation in 6 cases and unaffected by tumor in the remaining 5 cases.Pre-operative review of language activation maps and diffusion tensor tractography of arcuate fasciculus influenced the surgical approach in all 12 patients.Post-operatively, one patient died accidentally, the remaining 14 patients showed no tumor recurrence after one year follow-up.No patient showed deterioration of language function, though 3 patients who had aphasia pre-operation improved slightly.Conclusion The combination of fMRI and diffusion tensor tractography is helpful for identifying the relationship of brain tumors with language cortex and white matter fibers, which is important for sparing language function during individually surgical plan.

Objective To explore the prophylaxis and treatment of hypoxic spells on patients with TOF.Methods Retrospectively analysed and compared the case history of the inpatients with TOP in our hospital,to analyse the epilepticus cause of hypoxic spells and study the hypoxia mechanism and summarize the prevention and control measures.Results 4(17%)cases of TOF died after hypoxic spells,the epilepticus cause of hypoxic spells included suckling,early getting up,crying,standing abruptly after stool,scorching climate,infection fever and anemia,the hypoxia mechanism was likely to the increase of infundibulum cardiac muscle contraction,the systemic circulation resistance drop suddenly,hypezventilation,high-viscosity syndrome.Conclusion To control the epilepticus cause and perform operative treatment early can reduce the hypoxic spells.The prevention and control measures were strengthening the live nurse,disconnected oxygen inhalation,oral beta-blocker therapy and venons injection 5% sodium bicarbonate.Early operative treatment was the best redical treatment.
