Objective To evaluate thoracic endovascular aortic repair for type B aortic dissection.Methods Chnical data were reviewed on 126 cases with type B aortic dissection undergoing endovascular aortic repair in our hospital from January 2006 to April 2011.There were 86 male patients and 40 female patients,age from 32 to 82 years.The stent- grafts were introduced via femoral arteriotomy.Stent-grafts were implanted to blockade tears of aortic dissection under the guidance of DSA.Postoperatively patients were followed-up by angiography and imiging for endoleak,stent migration,and fracture of stent-graft.Results In all cases,the aortic dissection tears were closed,true lumens were opened,and organ function was restored.There were not complications such as internal hemorrhage due to trauma or stent displacement on CTA from 3 to 63 months after endovascular therapy.Procedure was successful in all 126 cases,157 stents were released,2 cases died in the perioperative period,1 case died during the followed-up.A breach was found at the end of the stent in 12 cases,endovascular aortic repair redone successfully with a retrograde type A dissection found during follow-up.Conclusions Endovascular aortic repair is safe and effective for patients with Stanford type B aortic dissection with a favorable outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between the serum estradiol levels and susceptibility to thromboangitis obliterans(TAO) in a population of Uighurs from Xinjiang.Methods Clinical data were concluded 500 Uighur healthy male through the method of multistage and cluster sampling randomly in Xinjiang Kashi area,300 cases of Hans male came from the healthy physical examination in Xinjiang Uygurs Autonomous Region Pepole's Hospital,examining the serum estradiol levels and analysising whether had the statistical significance between Uygurs and Hans nationality.Results The estradiol levels of Uighur male was (31.49 ± 12.55) pg/ml,the hans was (26.68 ± 12.40) pg/ml,single factor analysis,the difference with plasma estradiol levels have statistical significance between ethnic groups (t =5.267,P ＜0.05),and serum estradiol levels of uygur people was higher than Hans,and the estradiol levels with different smokers and age groups,there was no statistically significant difference (t =0.346,F =1.820,P ＞0.05).Logistic regression analysis indicated that only ethnic difference have statistically significant influence on estradiol levels (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The serum estradiol levels of Uighur healthy male in Xinjiang are higher than Hans.The high serum estradiol levels may be a susceptible factor of thromboangitis obliterans to Xinjiang Uygur.

Objective Retrospective analysis of experience of distal upper limb autologous arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis access and treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion was conducted.Methods To summarize the clinical data of 214 cases of initial autologous arteriovenous fistula and 22 cases of treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion were carried out from Aug.2007 to Mar.2011,comparing the success rate and long-term patency rate.Results Two hundred and fourteen cases of initial autologous arteriovenous fistula,in which 168 cases were cephalic vein-radial artery side-to-side anastomosis at snuffbox,46 cases were cephalic vein-radial artery end-toside anastomosis at proximal wrist,the success cases were 203 (94.8％),the failed cases were 11 (5.2％),limb edema in 82 cases and there was no steal syndrome and heart failure.The primary patency rate was 95.2％ at 1 year and 91.3％ at 2 years.There were 22 patients accepted treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion,in which,8 cases were embolectomy due to acute occlusion,8 cases were thrombectomy and balloon dilation because of anastomotic stricture and thrombosis and 1 failed,5 cases were proximal anastomosis again after chronic occlusion.Conclusions Autologous arteriovenous fistula of the distal upper limb,especially from the place of snuffbox which is the preferred method for autologous arteriovenous fistula.And deal with arteriovenous fistula occlusion actively can often extend the usage time of the autologous blood vessels and improve the life quality of patients.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) combined with anticoagulant compared with traditional treatment (Anticoagulant alone A C) for deep venous thrombosis.Methods We searched Medline,Embase,Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials,PubMed,Chinese Biomedical Literature Data Base (CBM),Chinese Scientific Journal,Full-text Data Base (CSJD),and,added with hand searcing and other retrievals.The Cochrane Collaboration's RevMan 5.0.18 was used for Meta-analysis.Results Four randomized controlled trials were available and were included in the study.Meta-analysis showed that 6 months after treatment,iliofemoral vein patency rate of CDT group was higher than that of AC group (OR =5.13,95％ CI:2.01-13.14,P =0.0006);Major complications of CDT group compared to those of AC group were not statistically significant(OR =2.74,95％ CI:0.76-8.07,P =0.13),but the minor complications and total complications of CDT group were higher than those of AC group [(OR =7.86,95％ CI:3.10-19.90,P ＜0.0001)and(OR=5.42,95％CI:1.47-20.01,P=0.01)].Conclusions CDT is a positively effective way to treat early DVT.Application of CDT in patients without contraindications to its use can have good therapeuic effect.

Objective To explore the misunderstanding and comprehension of hybrid operation for treating aortic dissection involving aortic arch.Methods From March 2009 to November 2013,13 patients received hybrid operation for aortic dissection involving aortic arch in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Urgur Autonomous Region were enrolled,including male 11 and female 2,and aged 36 ～ 60 years old with a mean age (44 ± 6.8) years old.All patients were type-B aortic dissection.All of them were not suitable to be treated with endovascular exclusion monotherapy.The ascending aorta-brachiocephalic artery bypass and left carotid artery bypass was established with median sternotomy approach and neck incision in 13 patients,and 2 patients did left subclavian artery bypass additionally,then retrograde endovascular stent graft implantation was used.Computed tomography angiography (CTA) scanning at 3-month,9-month,1-year and every-year after operation showed no stent grafts translocation and bypass graft obstruction.Results The surgical operation and stent grafts implantation were completely successful.Angiography showed 1 case had end leakage and other cases no obvious displacement or end leakage of stent grafts in operation.Blood flow in true lumen of aortic dissection was recovered and all of bypass grafts were unobstructed.No death and severe complications occurred.All patients were followed-up with 3 to 56 months [(29.0 ± 10.2) months],and all patients resumed normal life.Enhanced CT scanning after operation showed 1 case had endoleak and other cases no endoleak,stent grafts translocation and bypass graft obstmction.No signs of brain and limb ischemia were observed.Conclusions To summarize misunderstanding and experience by continuous explore feature of hybrid operation for treating disease involving aortic arch,we developed a more reasonable surgical treatment options that can improve the success rate of complex aortic dissection surgery,and ultimately achieve better surgical results.

Objective To explore the distribution characteristics and clinical typing methods in distal crevasses of Stanford B aortic dissection.Methods Review of the cases in the People's Hospital of Xinjiang Urgur Autonomous Region from 2010 January to 2013 June were diagnosis of Stanford type B aortic dissection with computed tomographic angiography data,Observed its distal crevasses distribution and statistical its number,then summarizes the distribution characteristics of the distal crevasses and further put forward a method of clinical typing.Results Refer to 115 cases with Stanford type B aortic dissection computed tomographic angiography data,including 101 cases with distal crevasses (87.83％) and a total of 240 distal crevasses,an average of 2.37 per case.Conclusions The distal crevasses more often appear in the area involving visceral artery,combined with its different in distribution characteristics and processing methods,we put forward the classification method,namely:Type Ⅰ:the distal crevasses are located in the zone of the thoracic artery; Type Ⅱ:the distal crevasses are close to the visceral artery or involvement it; Type Ⅲ:the distal crevasses are lower than the renal artery,not involving the visceral artery; Type Ⅳ:the distal crevasses are located in the zone of the iliac artery.

Objective To assess the treatment of splenic artery aneurysms(SAA) and curative effect evaluation.Methods Twelve SAA patients treated in our hospital from January 2012 to May 2014 were clinical analyzed.The male in Twelve patients was 4 man and others were female.The vagus splenic artery aneurysms are originated from the superior mesenteric artery,tumors are single,from 1.5cm to 2.8cm in diameter,an average of 2.1cm.Twelve cases were performed surgery,4 patients underwent elective surgery,interventional embolization of the splenic aneurysm in 3 patient,The others were performed interventional embolization + superior mesenteric artery covered stents.Results Technical success was achieved in all twelve patients,2 patients had adverse effects such as abdominal pain,fever,etc.There revealed no aneurysm recurrence was found.Twelve patients were followed for 6-24 months,the follow-up by examinations with electronic computer X-ray tomography or color Doppler ultrasonic as well as angiography every 3 months.One patient died of severe abdominal bleeding 1 year later after the operation and the other eleven patients remained in good condition with no occurrence of re-canalization of the lesions.Conclusions For the vagus splenic aneurysm with suitable for anatornic conditions,cavity therapy is safe and effective,for the vagus splenic aneurysm involving hepatic artery,need to open surgery for vascular remodeling.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR) gene polymorphism with Hashimoto′s thyroiditis(HT). Methods One hundred HT patients and 260 randomly matched healthy controls were enrolled to detect the KIR genotype. The genomic DNA were extracted, and 15 selected KIR genes, KIR2DL1-5, KIR3DL1-3, KIR2DS1-5, KIR3DS1 and pseudogene KIR2DP1, were determined by a polymerase chain reaction using sequence-specific primers (PCR-SSP). Results The frequency of KIR2DL5 gene was significantly lower of the patient group than that of the control group (0.200 vs 0.312, RR=0.64, P<0.01). Conclusion There may be an association between pathogenesis of HT and KIR2DL5 gene.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and clinical value of catheter-directed thrombolysis for acute lower limb deep venous thrombosis by the posterior tibial vein.Methods Atotal of 46 patints with acute deep venous thrombosis in the department of vecular surgery of People's hospital of the xinjiang uygur autonomous region,under the protection of the inferior vena cava fillters,we treated by catheter directed thrombosisthrough the posterior tibial vein with urokinase continuous infusion.Results In the total gourp of 46 patients,39 patients effectively relieve the swelling,7 of which was ineffective,and 4 cases of patients ease the swelling after the expansion by the iliac vein balloon,3 patients accepted the iliac vein balloon dilation and stent placement,6 patients who were bleeding were treated with pressure dressing,andthere was no other complications.After the treatment,the venous patency score was low,and the patency rate was high and which have a statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05) before and after thrombolysis.Before and after thrombolytic therapy for lower limb swelling rate,there was statistically significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions It is a safe and effective method to treat the deep venous thrombosis of lower limbs with catheter-directed thrombolysis by the protection of inferior vena cava filter.It can enhance the patency of the vein and shorten the swelling time.

To assess the correlation between thyroid function and glucolipid metabolism in type 1 diabetic adults. A retrospective analysis was conducted in 230 type 1 diabetic adults who were hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology of Shandong Provincial Hospital Affiliated to Shandong University from January 2008 to January 2020. It showed that thyroid stimulating hormone(TSH) was significantly positively correlated with total cholesterol (TC) ( r=0.239), triglycerides (TG) ( r=0.166) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) ( r=0.249), respectively (all P<0.05). Free triiodothyronine (FT 3) was significantly negatively correlated with fasting plasma glucose (FPG) ( r=-0.272), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) ( r=-0.240), TC ( r=-0.197) and LDL-C ( r=-0.220), respectively (all P<0.05). Free thyroxine (FT 4) was negatively correlated with TC ( r=-0.171) and LDL-C ( r=-0.170), respectively (all P<0.05). TC was an independent predictor of TSH, FT 3 and FT 4, FT 3 and FT 4 were independent predictors of HbA1c. TSH was an independent predictor of TC, TG and LDL-C. Thyroid function is closely related to glucolipid metabolism in type 1 diabetic adults.
