Objective To improve the ventilation mode for respiratory failure based on the self-made respirator. Methods For the conscious COPD patients with type II respiratory failure, nasal mask and NEEP ventilation mode were used. Patients breathe in air through the mouth and breathe out through the noses. There is no need of manual control tube to control the negative pressure in the nasal mask. For the non-typical type I respiratory failure, exhaled gas comes out from the one-way channel in the front of the mask, while oxygen for the next breathes is brought into the ball through the tube under it. Results The COPD patients breathe more freely and smoothly without disturb of the manual control tube. On the non-typical type I respiratory failure, FiO2 is much higher and without breath in CO2. Conclusion The new ventilation mode can provide a great range of FiO2 and get ride of redundant CO2. It's beneficial to the recovery of patients.

Objective:To establish a fluid dynamics model of upper airway before and after surgery and explore the changes of three-dimensional fluid dynamics in patients with micrognathia.Methods:A patient with micrognathia and severe obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS)accepted CT scan before and six months after mandibular advancement operation.Computation-al fluid dynamics model was built on the base of CT scan by Mimics 1 0.01 and ANSYS ICEMCFD1 4.0.The internal flow of upper respiratory tract was simulated by ANSYS-FLUENT 1 4.0 and the results were analyzed by Tecplot.Results:Fluid dynamics model of upper airway was constructed before and after the surgery respectively.The volume of the upper airway of the patient increased from 37.284 cm3 to 44.498 cm3;the most narrow area of upper airway was located in the lower bound of pharyngopalatiae,and it was augmented from 1 .1 35 cm2 to 2.297 cm2;the minimum pressure was decreased from1 01 308 Pa to 1 01 272 Pa;the maximum air velocity increased from 3.476 m/s to 4.978 m/s.Conclusion:Mandibular advancement may correct the occlusal deformity,ex-panse the upper respiratory tract,decrease the negative pressure and maintain the patency of the airflow in the treatment of patients with micrognathia and OSAHS.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects of end-to-side and side-to-side portal vein-hepatic artery shunts (P-H shunt) in pigs with liver cirrhosis and portal hypertension.Methods There were 15 pigs in each group (control and experimental),and the P-H shunt was made in each animal to observe the process of blood flow into the liver and the reduction of portal vein blood pressure.Results The portal vein pressures before the P-H shunt of pigs in the control and experimental group were (20.51±0.74) cm H2O (1 cm H2O=0.098 kPa) and (30.82±2.53) cm H2O respectively (P＜0.05).Portal vein pressures 30 days after the P-H shunt were(19.75±0.84) cm H2O and (20.84± 1.36) cm H2 O respectively (P＞0.05).The portal vein pressure differences of pigs in the control and experimental group before P-H shunt were (7.20±0.34) cm H2O and (17.34±0.62) cm H2O respectively (P＜0.05).Pressures differences 30 days after the P-H shunt were (6.40±0.21) cm H2O and (7.84 ± 1.32) cm H2O respectively (P＜0.05).Splenic vein injection of methylene blue after the P-H shunt operation stained the liver well.No necrosis and hepatic encephalopathy occurred for 30 days after the P-H shunt,and the splenomegaly gradually returned to normal.Liver function was most affected after the operation and other biochemical markers were least affected.Conclusions The P-H shunt changed the channel of blood flow into the liver,the portal hemodynamic was not affected,and a new balanced mechanism was established to maintain the portal hemodynamic stability.However,further treatment was needed for liver function recovery.

This study was aimed to explore the efficacy of establishing and implementing individual healthy di-ets on patients with early diabetic nephropathy ( DN ) . A total of 120 patients with early DN of our hospital were randomly divided into two groups , which were the experimental group and the control group . There were 60 cases in each group . All patients received routine treatment . The fasting blood glucose and 24-hour uri-nary protein were measured pre-treatment , 2-week , 2-month , and 6-month after treatment . Patients in the experimental group were required to receive individual healthy diet therapy as well as routine treatment . The fasting blood glucose of both groups was compared in each stage . The fasting blood glucose of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group after 2-week treatment . After 6-month treatment , the fasting blood glucose of the experimental group was lower than that of pre-treatment . However , there was no obvious difference in the control group compared to that of pre-treatment . There were significant differences on the number of cases with fasting blood glucose below the level of 7.0 mmol/L in different stages of both groups. The 24-hour urinary protein of both groups was also compared in each stage . After 2-week treatment , there was no distinct difference on the 24-hour urinary protein in each stage of both groups . However , after 6-month treatment , the urinary protein of the experimental group , compared to pre-treatment , indicated striking difference , while the control group did not show any difference . It was concluded that individual healthy diet has a significant efficacy in the treatment of early DN , especially in reducing and controlling fasting blood glucose. After carrying out the treatment for 6 months, healthy diet also takes on distinct effects in cutting down 24-hour urinary protein and keeping the glycosylated hemoglobin below 6 . 5%.

Objective Cystic nephroma ( CN ) is an unusual benign neoplasm with high misdiagnosis rate , and at present there is no general method on its treatment .This study aimed to analyze the diagnosis and treatment of CN based on clinical data of CN patients. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data on 25 patients (including 2 cases of male pediatric patients , aged 14 and 16 years old, and the remaining 23 cases were adults, 11 males and 12 females, aged 14-69[45.1 ±19.6]years) treated in our department of the First Hospital of Shijiazhuang from January 2003 to July 2015 .All patients underwent ultrasound , CT and MRI examination , as well as surgical resection . Results Among these 25 CN patients , there were 15 cases of partial nephrectomy , 5 ca-ses of nephrectomy , 2 cases of retroperitoneal laparoscopic cyst unroofing , 1 case of laparoscopic enucleation of the tumors with nephron-sparing surgery , 1 case of laparoscopic radical nephroureterectomy , and 1 case of retroperitoneal laparoscopic radical nephrectomy .All the patients were successfully followed up for 6 months to 132 months, 1 patient recurred 6 months after retroperitoneal laparoscopic cyst unroo-fing and underwent open partial nephrectomy .No recurrence and me-tastasis were found in the remaining patients . Conclusion Imaging examination is an important measurement for CN , and intraoperative frozen pathology contributes to pathological diagnosis .Since most CN cases are benign , CN patients with no symptom or small cysts can take follow up survey .The principle of the operation is complete resection of the tumor , and nephron-sparing surgery is the first choice . In addition , regular follow-up is necessary in case of recurrence and malignant potential .

Objective To estimate the gene mutation and the protein expression of v-Raf murine sarcoma viral oncogene homolog B1 (BRAF) in esophageal cancer.Methods From February 2014 to September 2015,75 patients with esophageal cancer who received operation were enrolled.Tissues of cancer,adjacent to cancer and far from cancer were taken.The mutation and protein expression of BRAF were detected.The relationship between BRAF protein positive expression and clinical characteristics of patients with esophageal cancer was analyzed.The enumeration data was compared by chi-square test.Results The mutation of exon 11 and exon 15 of gene BRAF was not found in the tissues of esophageal cancer.Among 75 esophageal cancer,a base C or T inserted in the exon 11 was found in five Ⅲb TNM stage cases,and the expression of BRAF at protein level was positive in 46 cases (61.3％).Among 57 tissues adjacent to cancer,nine cases (15.8 ％) was BRAF positive at protein level.Among 75 tissues far from cancer,five(6.7％) was BRAF positive at protein level.The difference among three groups was statistically significant (x2 =61.098,P＜0.05).The positive rates of BRAF expression at protein level in patients with esophageal cancer at Ⅰ,Ⅱ and Ⅲ TNM stage were 21.7％ (5/23),70.8％ (17/24) and 85.7 ％ (24/28),respectively.The positive rates of BRAF expression at protein level in patients with and without lymph node metastasis were 81.6％ (31/38) and 40.5％ (15/37).The positive expression of BRAF at protein level was related with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis (x2 =23.136 and 13.313,both P＜0.01),however it was not related with gender,age and the degree of tumor differentiation (all P＞0.05).Conclusions There is base insertion in the exon 11 of gene BRAF in esophageal cancer,but gene mutation is not found.BRAF is highly expressed in esophageal cancer,which is related with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis,and BRAF could be an indicator of assessment of degree of malignancy and prognosis of esophageal cancer.
