Objective To investigate the risk factors for portal vein thrombosis (PVT)under anticoagulation therapy after surgery in patients with portal hypertension.Methods We made a retrospective analysis of clinical data of 96 portal hypertension patients for surgical treatment at our hospital.All the patients with postoperative PVT or without were divided into two groups.Risk factors that may predict PVT were analyzed.Results PVT developed in 41 (40.08%)of 96 patients after surgery.Risk factors such as sex,age,Child-Pugh classification,type of operation,portal pressure and the pressure difference before and after surgery,preoperative prothrombin time, preoperative platelet count,spleen index,and portal vein diameter were not predictors of PVT.However,splenic vein diameter was an independent risk factor for PVT (P = 0.036);postoperative PVT tended to develop when the splenic vein diameter was larger than 1 1 mm.Conclusion Preoperative color Doppler testing of splenic vein diameter can predict PVT after surgery in patients with portal hypertension.

Objective To explore the correlation between the gene polymorphism of glucocorticoid receptor intron 4 G1666T (GR G1666T) and intracerebral hemorrhage(ICH ).Methods Frequencies of genotypes and alleles of GR G1666T in 48 pations with ICH(ICH group),48 ICH patients combining essential hypertension(EH) (ICH+EH group),46 EH patients (EH group) and 71 healthy people (NC group) were analyzed by a polymerase chain reaction for restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP).The gender,body mass index(BMI),blood pressure(BP),the levels of plasma angiotensinogen,renin,blood glucoseand and blood lipid were compared among the various genotype of GR G1666T in ICH patients.Results There was no obviously difference of G1666T genotype and allele frequencie among the 4 groups.However,the G allele frequence of females in groups ICH,ICH+EH and EH were significantly higher than that in NC group(all P

The linear analysis for heart rate variability (HRV), including time domain method, frequency domain method and time-frequency analysis, has reached a lot of consensus. The non-linear analysis has also been widely applied in biomedical and clinical researches. However, for non-linear HRV analysis, especially for short-term non-linear HRV analysis, controversy still exists, and a unified standard and conclusion has not been formed. This paper reviews and discusses three short-term non-linear HRV analysis methods (fractal dimension, entropy and complexity) and their principles, progresses and problems in clinical application in detail, in order to provide a reference for accurate application in clinical medicine.

Objective To investigate the bilateral flow-mediated dilation of brachial artery (BA-FMD) and nitroglycerin mediated dilation (BA-NMD) in patients with cerebral infarct, and to find out if the vasodilation of internal catotid artery after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin can be detected as a more direct way to reflect the vasodilation in patients with cerebral vascular diseases. Methods High resolution ultrasonic system was used to measure 13 patients with acute cerebral infarction. The diameter of brachial artery, internal carotid artery and common carotid artery was measured at relaxation, reactive congestion in the brachial artery and after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin. Meanwhile, the intima media thickness (IMT) and plaques of carotid artery was detected. Results Paralysis did not lead to differences in vasodilation of brachial artery (r=0.52, P=0.07). There was a correlation between ICA-NMD and BA-NMD (r=0.83, P=0.01). Conclusion There were no significant differences between brachial vasodilation in paretic and non-paretic limbs of patients with acute cerebral infarction. Ultrasonic measurement of ICA-NMD can be a more direct measure of the vasodilation of patients with cerebral infarction.

Our university actively carried out the reform and innovation of the training mode of clinical medicine postgraduates . We implemented the standardized training of resident physicians throughout postgraduate training process , and carried out the comprehensive reform of the training mode of cultivating master degree students of clinical medicine and the standard training of resident doctors. Meanwhile, we trained the master degree students with the synergy of medical education and strengthened the cultivation of students' clinical practice ability, to cultivate qualified doctors for the country, and to improve the quality of postgraduate training.

Objective To explore the mechanism of effects of cardiac sympathetic anesthesia on left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left cardiac cavity size of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy.Method 121 consecutive patients with dilated cardiomyopathy were divided into cardiac sympathetic nerve blockade group(TEA group) and control group(c group).In TEA group,5％ lidocaine was injected into thoracic epidural cavity for about 4 to 8 weeks in addition with routine therapy.In c group,only routine therapy was used.We observe the changes of LVEF and left cardiac cavity size before and after treatment in both groups. Result In TEA group,after anesthesia,LVEF was increased from(31.3± 12.8) to(47.3± 21.3),P<0.001;left ventricular end－ diastolic diameter was reduced from(69.1± 7.1)to (65.1± 8.0),P<0.001;left atrial diameter was decreased from(44.0± 6.2)to(39.4± 7.2),P< 0.001. Conclusion Cardiac sympathetic anesthesia can effectively improve the ejection performance of dilated cardiomyopathy and make the dilated cardiac cavity turn to normal level.
