Objective To investigate the influence and clinical significance of single and dual-chamber pacing on central aortic pressure (CAP) and augmentation index (AI) in non-smoking individuals. Methods Totally, 83 non-smokers with pacemaker-implanted were consecutively enrolled in this study, and they were divided into three groups:dual-chamber pacemaker group (DDD, n=35), single-chamber pacemaker group (VVI, n=33) and control group (n=15). Heart rate (HR), CAP, AI, systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were measured in three groups of patients. Finally, DDD pacing mode was turned into VVI pacing mode in patients of DDD group and the indexes were measured again. All of the indexes were recorded and analyzed. Results There were no significant changes in baseline characteristics and laboratory data between three groups (P>0.05). Left atrial diameters were significantly higher in VVI group than those of control group (P<0.05). Values of CAP were significantly higher in DDD group than those of control group and VVI group (P<0.05). Values of AI, corrected AI (AIc) and brachial BP were significantly higher in DDD group than those of VVI group (P<0.05). Values of CAP and brachial BP were significantly lower in VVI group than those of control group (P<0.05), while no significant changes were found in AI and AIC between VVI group and control group (P>0.05). All of these indexes (CAP, AI and brachial BP) were significantly reduced after the pacing mode was changed (P<0.05). Conclusion In non-smokers, dual-chamber pacing mode can increase CAP and AI.

It's difficult to diagnose precancerous lesion and early cancer for a long time, because both of them haven't typical morphological characteristics. As a novel diagnostic modality, fluorescence endoscopy can accurately reflect minimal changes in human's tissue, thus making a meaningful progress for cancer diagnosing. 200 patients were examined by fluorescence endoscopy to evaluate the diagnostic value. The overall accuracy, sensitivity and specificity for detecting malignant gastrointestinal tumor was 94.0%, 94.6% and 93.5%, respectively. Thus, fluorescence endoscopy can be used to diagnose malignant gastrointestinal tumors with high validity and reliability, and is advantageous over conventional white light endoscopy especially in detecting the atypical and suspicious lesions. Furthermore, fluorescence endoscopy can also guide target biopsy, is significant to improve the early cancer detection rate, has a broad development prospect.

Objective To evaluate the histological response and the clinical value in laparescopic colorectal surgery combined with preoperative regional intra-arterial chemotherapy(PRAC). Methods In cases of rectal cancer and fiver metastases selective regional intra-arterial chemotherapy and iodinated oil embolism was carried out in 23 cases of colorectal carcinoma. After 1 to 11 days laparoseopic radical resection was done, specimens were sent for histopathological examination. We analyzed the correlation between tumor differentiation and TNM stage, compared the effect of PRAC with PRAC + embolism by the criteria of histological response of chemotherapy. χ2-test was used to compare interclass correlation.Results The histological effect in the 23 cases of PRAC level 0 was in 2 cases, level Ⅰ in 7 cases, level Ⅱ in 10 cases, and level Ⅲ in 2 cases. The overall effective rate was 91% (21/23). In the 15 cases with lymph node metastases, the effective rate was 87% (13/15). There was no significant statistic correlation between tumor differentiation or TNM stage and histological response. PRAC associated embolism had a better histological response compared to PRAC alone. Conclusions Preoperative regional intra-arterial chemotherapy had marked therapeutic effect on histological response to the colorectal carcinoma patients of various tumor differentiations and TNM stage, especially combining with the embolism to rectal cancer could improve the efficacy.
