Objective To evaluate the outcome of incomplete revasculariszation by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in elderly patients with coronary artery disease.Methods Data of 48 patients (age≥75 years old) underwent incomplete coronary revascularization during the period from 2008 to 2011 were collected.Their data before PCI and the 6 months follow-up results were comparatively analyzed.Results Six months after incomplete coronary revascularization,the LVEF was higher than that before revascularization ((48.10 ± 7.19)％ vs (39.82 ± 8.23)％) and BNP declined significantly ((575.17 ± 67.27) ng/L vs (793.57 ± 87.53)ng/L).T peak-T end (Tp-Te) √RR and Tp-Te/QT also declined significantly (Tp-Te √RR:(96.38 ± 10.79)ms vs (147.81 ± 17.32)ms;Tp-Te/QT:(0.25 ±0.05) vs (0.30 ±0.07)) (P ＜0.05).Six months after PCI,LVEDV and LVESV were higher than those before surgery,but there was no significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Incomplete coronary revascularization can improve heart function and stability of cardiac electrophysiology in elderly patients with coronary artery disease,but it can not prevent the development of left ventricular remodeling.

AIM: To evaluate the influence of anesthesia and different means of postoperative pain control on the T-lymphocyte during the perioperative period in patients with rectal cancer.METHODS: 40 adult patients, aged 65 or older, of American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 2-3 were divided into two groups according to the type and means of postoperative pain managements. Group Ⅰ (n=20) received intravenous anesthesia and patient controlled analgesia(PCA), fentanyl (13 ?g/kg) for post pain; group Ⅱ (n=20) received intravenous anesthesia plus lumber epidural anesthesia and epidural PCA of morphine 5 mg plus ropivacaine 100 mg for post operative pain. Blood samples from internal jugular vein were obtained before surgery, at the completion of surgery and 24, 48, and 120 h post surgery for detecting CD3+, CD4+, CD4/CD8 counts of peripheral T-lymphocytes. In addition, blood cortisol level and pain intensity were assessed by visual analogue score (VAS)at each time point. RESULTS: Baseline(before anesthesia) values of CD3+,CD4+, CD4/CD8 in patients were messured and there was a significant decrease of all these values from completion of surgery to 48 h after surgery in both groups (P
