Objective To evaluate the protective effect of inhaled nitric oxide(NO) on newborn piglets with asphyxia-induced myocardial impairment. Methods Twenty-nine newborn piglets were divided into three groups: (1)control group(CON,n =8); (2)asphyxia without NO inhaled group(ASP,n =11); (3)asphyxia with NO inhaled group (INO,n =10). In both ASP and INO group,asphyxia was induced by clamping the inhalation tube for 10min. After cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR),both groups were mechanically ventilated with 35% of O 2 for 6 hrs,but 10ppm of nitric oxide was applied additionally to INO group. Mean pulmonary artery pressure (mPAP) was monitored continuously. Serum creatine kinase,MB (CK-MB),and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) were measured at 6h after CPR. Cardiac functions were evaluated at 6h after CPR by echocardiography including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),right ventricular ejection fraction (RVEF),ratio of peak E velocity and peak A velocity of mitrial flow and tricuspid flow (ME/A and TE/A),ratio of peak e velocity and velocity of mitral annulus motion and tricuspid annulus motion (Me/a and Te/a). The CON group was examined correspondingly. The myocardial histopathologic damage score (MHDS) was used to evaluate the severity of myocardial impairment. Results During 1 h to 6 h after CPR,INO group displayed a lower level of mPAP (14?6)～(12?4) mm Hg when compared with ASP group(23?5)～(19?3) mm Hg ( P

Objective To study clinical efficacy on cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) treated by transvaginal surgery.Methods From Jan.2008 to Mar.2011,31 cases with CSP were managed by transvaginal surgery in Anshan Women and Children Hospital.Based on ultrasonograpy examination and intraoperative exposure of lesion,variable surgical options were executed.Fifteen cases in group A were treated by debridement resection and vaginal repair of uterine wall,7 cases in group B were treated by transvaginal uterine artery ligation and curettage,9 cases were treated by cutting the anterior wall in the lower uterine segment and repairing uterine.The intraoperative blood loss,operation time,hospital stay,hCG fluctuation at postoperative period and complications were analyzed among those groups.Results Allcases in 3 groups were cured well in one time.( 1 ) The intraoperative blood loss were (41 ±21 ) ml in group A,(27 ±7) ml in group B and ( 148 ± 132) ml in group C.There was no statistically different blood loss between group A and group B ( P ＞ 0.05 ),however,the amount blood loss in group C was significantly more than those in group A and group B ( P ＜ 0.05 ).( 2 ) The average surgical time,the mean hospital stay,postoperative recovery time of blood hCG were (40 ± 11 ) minutes,(4.7 ± 0.8 ) days and ( 2.7 ± 1.0) weeks in group A,(44 ± 5 ) minutes,(4.0 ± 0.8) days and (2.9 ± 1.0) weeks in group B,(40 ± 12) minutes,(4.9 ± 1.0) days and (2.8 ±0.9) weeks in group C.Those clinical index were no statistically different among those 3 groups(P ＞0.05).(3) No bladder injury and other complications were observed in those groups.Conclusions Transvaginal surgery is efficacy,easy to operate,to keep the uterus,safe and economy in treatment of CSP.Surgery in group A is suitable to treat early and exogenous lesions; surgery in group B is suitable to treat endogenous lesions; surgery in group C is suitable to treat failure cases in group A and B,however,the injury is greater than those in group A and B.

Objective To reduce the risk of cervical spinal cord injury,the most medial point of the cervical intervertebral disc that the posterior percutaneous endoscopic sheath could reach was evaluated.And that could help to determine the indication of posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy for cervical intervertebral disc herniation.Methods Cervical MRI images for 50 randomly selected patients,21 males and 29 females with ages from 20 to 60(average 33.5± 10.03 years),were analysed.All 50 patients underwent MRI examination at our institution between January 2014 and December 2017.As 50％ of the zygapophyseal joint was preserved,on the cross-section T2-weighted MRI images,when the sheath just touched the spinal cord,the intersection point of the medial wall of sheath and cervical spinal cord (Point L) was the most medial point of the posterior percutaneous endoscopy could get.The distance between Point L and the line through and tangent to the most lateral point of cervical disc border was the length of the line section DL.The distance between the middle sagittal line of the cervical disc and the line through and tangent to the most lateral point of cervical disc border was the length of the line section D.D1/D was the most medial distance ratio of the posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy when 50％ of the lateral zygapophyseal joint was preserved.In the same way,D'1/D was the most medial distance ratio of the posterior percutaneous endoscopic cervical discectomy when 75％ of the lateral zygapophyseal joint was preserved.Results When 50％ of the lateral zygapophyseal joint was preserved,the upper limit of 95％ confidence intervals of the most medial distance ratio that the posterior percutaneous endoscopy could get were 78％,76％,81％,93％ in C3,4,C4,5,C5,6,C6,7 respectively.This meant that the most medial distance the posterior percutaneous endoscopy could get were the 78％,76％,81％,0.93％ of the length of the line section D in C3,4,C4,5,C5,6,C6,7 respectively.The most medial distance the posterior percutaneous endoscopy could get in C5,6 or C6,7 was longer than that in C3,4,C4,5.Conclusion When 50％ of the lateral zygapophyseal joint was preserved,the upper limit of the most medial distance ratio that the posterior percutaneous endoscopy should get were 78％,76％,81％,93％ in C3,4,C4,5,C5,6,C6,7 respectively.This meant that the most medial distance the posterior percutaneous endoscopy could get were the 78％,76％,81％,93％ of the length of line section D in C3,4,C4,5,C5,6,C6,7 respectively.If the resected disc was beyond this range,the cervical spinal cord should be in the risk of being injured.

Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate the effect of the strategies on COVID-19 outbreak control in Shenzhen, and to clarify the feasibility of these strategies in metropolitans that have high population density and strong mobility.Methods:The epidemic feature of COVID-19 was described by different phases and was used to observe the effectiveness of intervention. Hierarchical spot map was drawn to clarify the distribution and transmission risk of infection sources at different time points. The Susceptible-Exposed-Infectious-Asymptomatic-Recovered model was established to estimate case numbers without intervention and compare with the actual number of cases to determine the effect of intervention. The positive rate of the nucleic acid test was used to reflect the risk of human exposure. A survey on COVID-19 related knowledge, attitude and behaviors were used to estimate the abilities of personal protection and emergency response.Results:The epidemic of COVID-19 in Shenzhen experienced the rising, plateau and decline stage. The case number increased rapidly at the beginning, with short duration of peak period. Although the epidemic curve showed human-to-human transmission, the "trailing" was not obvious. From the spot map, during the intervention period, the source of infection was widely distributed. More cases and higher transmission risk were observed in areas with higher population density. After the effective intervention measures, both infection sources and the risk of transmission decreased. After compared with the estimated case numbers without intervention, actual number proved the COVID-19 control strategies were effective. The positive rate of nucleic acid test for high risk populations decreased and no new cases reported since February 16. Shenzhen citizens had high knowledge, attitude and behavior level, and high protection ability and emergency response.Conclusions:Although the response initiated by the health administration department played a key role at the early stage of the epidemic, it was not enough to contain the outbreak of COVID-19. The first-level emergency response initiated by provincial and municipal government was effective and ensured the start of work resumption after the Spring Festival. Metropolitans like Shenzhen can also achieve the goals of strategies and measures for containment and mitigation of COVID-19.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and complications of minimally invasive transforaminal lumbar-interbody fusion (TLIF) in the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis. Methods Total 142 patients with single level spondylolis-thesis who treated by TLIF from 2010.01 to 2015.06 were included in this study, with 68 cases in minimally invasive TLIF (MIS-TLIF) group and 74 cases in traditional open TLIF group. The general information (age, gender, isthmic or degenerative type, per-centage of slip degree, levels), operative time, blood loss, length of postoperative hospital stay, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of low-back pain and leg pain, and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were recorded and collected. The posterior height of the interverte-bralpace and segmental lordosis, reduction of spondylolisthesis and cross-sectional area of spinal canal were measured. Results There was no statistically significant difference between the two groups in age, gender ratio, percentage of slip degree, and sur-gicallevels distribution. Total of 66 cases in MIS-TLIF group and 71 cases in Open TLIF group finished 2 years follow up, and 25 cases in MIS-TLIF group and 31 cases in Open TLIF group finished 5 years follow up. The blood loss of the MIS-TLIF group was 164.7±51.7 ml, significantly lower than the open TLIF group of 239±69.3 ml(P<0.001). The length of postoperative hospital stay was 5.9 ± 1.5 days in MIS-TLIF group, significantly shorter than the open TLIF group of 7.3 ± 3.1 days(P<0.001). The operative time of MIS-TLIF and Open TLIF was 146.3±21.9 mins, 152.0±20.4 mins, respectively, and no significant differ-ence was found between them. The VAS ofback pain, leg pain, ODI in MIS-TLIF group was 1.76±1.16, 1.91±1.36 and 23.5± 7.3 at 2 years follow up, and in Open TLIF was 1.73±1.10, 1.83±1.36 and 23.8±6.7, respectively, all of them were significant-ly different to pre-operation, however, no significant difference was found between two groups. The VAS of back pain, leg pain, ODI in MIS-TLIF group was 1.73±1.21, 1.93±1.48, and 25.4±6.8 at 5years follow up, and in Open TLIF was 1.85±1.02, 1.85± 1.33 and 26.1 ± 6.5, respectively, no significant difference between twogroups. The posterior height of the intervertebral space and segmental lordosis of MIS-TLIF was 9.52±1.67 mm and 12.11°±3.44° at 2 years follow up, while the open TLIF was 9.88± 1.54 mm and 12.98 ± 3.83° , all of them were significantly different to pre-operation,however, no significant difference between two groups. The posterior height of the intervertebral space and segmental lordosis of MIS-TLIF was 9.37 ± 1.46 mm and 11.55° ± 2.77° , while the open TLIF was 9.66 ± 1.68 mm and 12.59° ± 4.23° , no significant difference between two groups. The percentage of slip degree was reduced to 5.2％±4.6％ in MIS-TLIF and 5.6％±4.3％ in open TLIF, the cross-sectional area of spinal canal was enlarged to 139.7±19.5 mm2 and 141.7±20.7 mm2, no significant difference between two groups either. Con-clusion MIS-TLIF has less blood loss, shorter postoperative hospital stay than open TLIF, and similar clinical pain and function-al outcomes. MIS-TLIF is suggested to be a safe and effective choice in the treatment of lower grade lumbar spondylolisthesis (Grade II or less).
