Objective To observe the effect of therapies of activating blood and removing stasis, activating yang and dissipating phlegm, and warming and dredging meridians with aromatic herbs on relieving acute myocardial ischemia (AMI). Methods Rats were randomized into normal group,model group, Xuefu Zhuyu Decoction (XZD) groups (treated with XZD 20.5 and 6.8 gkg-1d-1 ), Gualou Xiebai Banxia Decoction (GXBD) groups (treated with GXBD 18.0 and 6.0gkg-1d-1 ), and Guanxin Suhexiang Capsules (GSC) groups (treated with GSC 0.19 and 0.06 gkg-1d-1 ). The AMI rat models were established by intravenous injection of pituitrin (Pit, 1.5U/kg) through the caudal vein. The effect of the three Chinese medical therapies on AMI rat electrocardiogram (ECG) and plasma endothelin (ET) level was evaluated. Results Compared with the model group, statistical significance was presented in the rise of ST segment of medication groups (P

Liver transplantation is one of the main treatments for acute and chronic liver failure currently.In recent years,with the lack of donor liver transplantation and the in creasing number of patients,the major donator of liver transplant is brain dead patients.In brain-dead state,organ functions de cline gradually.Changes in hemodynamics and immunity could lead to inflammation and alter hormone release.Organ survival and patients'prognosis can be unpredictable.The study of the above phenomenal mechanisms is still at an early stage.This article summarized the current liver transplant treatments by explai ning the pathophysiology of donor organ damage and reviewing the prognosis.The aim of this article was to provide a perspective for future study on this topic.

Objective To explore more safe and effective method for the treatment of common bile duct stones combined with cavernous transformation of the portal vein (CTPV).Methods We report 2 cases of post-treated patients in this series.In order to avoid severe bleeding caused by dissection of bile duct,we applied different methods to remove common bile duct stones compared with traditional operation.We removed common bile duct stones in one patient through cystic duct approach during operation.Two years later,we performed endoscopic duodenal incision (endoscopic sphincterotomy,EST) for him because of lower common bile duct stenosis with sand like stone.Another patient,on the other hand,we conducted the duodenal papilla incision during operation and removed common bile duct stones with choledochoscope through the bottom of common bile duct.Result Of the two patients,all of the three kinds of operation had good curative effects.Conclusions For the patients with common bile duct stones combined with CTPV,we should select appropriate treatments to avoid dissection of bile duct in front of the dilated and tortuous collateral veins during the operation,which is the key to guarantee the safety and success of the operation.EST is the preferred method of the treatment.Open operation with choledochoscopy via cystic duct approach or duodenal papilla incision through distal common bile duct to perform stone extraction also appears to be effective and safe.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and outcome of resection and reconstruction of hepatic artery in hilar cholangiocacinoma (HCC).Methods The data of 29 patients with HCC with hepatic artery reconstruction carried out from March 2009 to August 2013 in our center were retrospectively analyzed.23 right hepatic arteries and 6 common hepatic arteries were involved.In-situ anastomosis was carried out in 20 patients and a double anastomosis using gastrodoudenal artery grafts was carried out in 9 patients.Results There were no arterial thrombosis or other related complications on prolonged follow-up.Conclusion Hepatic artery resection and reconstruction should be carried out if the artery was invaded by a hilar cholangiocarcinoma to produce a high resection rate and a better outcome.

Objective To analyze the perioperative complications and prognosis of surgical treatment of pancreatic ductal stones.Methods 60 patients diagnosed to have pancreatic ductal stones and were admitted into our hospital from January 2009 and December 2014 were enrolled into this retrospective study.There were 47 males and 13 females.The average age was (44.1 ± 12.0).Results All patients underwent surgical operation and there was no perioperative death.Perioperative complications occurred in 7 patients (11.7％), including pancreatic fistula in 4 patients, delayed gastric emptying in 1 patient, abdominal infection in 1 patient, anastomotic bleeding in 1 patient.Eight patients developed elevated amylase levels.The fasting time was 3.4 ± 1.2 days and the hospital stay was 10.0 ±4.0 days.The follow-up rate was 88.3％ (53/60), at a mean follow-up of 27 months.In 51 patients who presented with abdominal pain, 43 patients (84.3％) had complete pain relief and 7 patients (13.7％) had partial pain relief.In 14 patients with preoperative diabetes mellitus, 1 patient had improvement and 2 patients recovered from diabetes.Two additional patients were diagnosed to have diabetes two years after the operation.Of the 2 patients who were shown to have pancreatic cancer on histopathological study, 1 patient was lost to follow-up while another patient died at 27 months after the operation.The patients diagnosed to have epithelial dysplasia were followed-up and none developed pancreatic cancer.Conclusions The relationship between chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal stones was very close.Chronic pancreatitis also caused exocrine and endocrine dysfunction.Surgical operation plays an important role in symptomatic relief and in delaying pancreatic dysfunction.

Objective:To investigate the expression of amphiregulin in human endometrium during the menstrual cycle.Methods: Endometrial tissues were collected from the patients undergoing hysterectomy or endometrial biopsy.Real-time RT-PCR,in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the expression characteristics of amphiregulin in human endometrium in proliferative and secretory phases.Results: Real-time RT-PCR showed the expression of amphiregulin mRNA in secretory phase was 32 times that in proliferative phase.The results from in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry showed that amphiregulin was located in the cytoplasm and mainly expressed in the gland of endometrium.The expressions of amphiregulin mRNA in proliferative and secretory phases were 0.54?0.22 and 2.96?0.47(P

OBJECTIVE To investigate the postoperative morbility of deep fungal infections and the source and composition of the pathogenic fungi.METHODS Clinical data of 816 patients with post-operative deep fungal infections from Jul 2006 to Jun 2008 were reviewed and analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS The detectable rate of post-operative deep fungal infections was 24.82%,among which Candida albicans was the most common(65.69%),followed by C.tropicalis(10.57%);the rate of broad-spectrum antibiotic application in peri-operation was 96.45%;the infection site in the descending order was cardio-thorax,gastrointestinal tract,urinary tract,female reproductive system,blood and skeleton.CONCLUSIONS Operative trauma is an important factor that causes deep fungal infections in hospital,and is closely related to broad-spectrum antibiotic application.Positive prevention,timely diagnosis and effective treatment should be highly emphasized when dealing with post-operative deep fungal infections.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and realistic significance of different teaching methods in professional and scientific degree graduate students.Methods Twenty six graduate students (scientific 12,professional 14) were randomly selected as research object from Sep.2014 to Apr.2017,and the relationship between clinical or research outcome and type of degree,clinical or experiment time were analyzed.Results The experiment time of scientific degree graduate students was significantly longer than that of professional degree graduate students [(21.0 ± 1.6) vs.(11.0 ± 3.5) months],and professional degree graduate students paid more attention to clinical work,there was statistic difference between the two groups [(20.0 ±2.1) vs.(12.0 ±2.4) months,both P＜0.05].The qualification rate of basic clinical manipulation in the professional group was higher than that in the scientific group (85.7％ vs.75.0％,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Different type of teaching methods based on the type of student degree were feasible and proper for graduate students in surgery,and the terminal object of our teaching should be focus on the resolution of clinical problems.

Objective To explore the clinical value and safety of early enteral nutrition support in patients after liver transplantation.Methods We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 86 cases who used early enteral nutrition support therapy after liver transplantation between January 2008and October 2011.All of patients were uproot the gastric tube at the first day after the operation,and gradual to the normal diet.The patients who used parenteral nutrition support therapy were as the control group(n＝112).Then we compared the data of patients in the two groups.Results The early enteral nutrition is more useful to the patients after liver transplantation than intravenous nutrition [In the seventh day after the operation,the control group's ALT was (45.2 ± 12.9) U/L,AST was (40.2±9.4) U/L,ALBwas (35.6±2.5) g/L,P＜0.05].The early enteral nutrition also can decrease hospital stay and hospital costs [(14.2±3.4) d,P＜0.05].Conclusion The early enteral nutrition is useful and safe to the patients after liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate errors and the mechanism of acalculia in patients with left or right hemisphere cerebral infarction.Methods Fifty-six patients with single hemisphere cerebral infarction and 56 normal adults who were matched in age,sex and years of education were tested with EC301-CR.The patients were divided into a left hemisphere cerebral infarction group(n =34)and a right hemisphere cerebral infarction group(n =22).Results The scores on 30 out of 32 EC301-CR items were significantly lower among the patients than in the normal control group.Scores on 14 EC301-CR items were significantly lower in the left hemisphere group than in the right hemisphere group.In the left hemisphere group the item scores of aphasia patients were significantly lower than those of no-aphasia patients except on digit identity.Conclusion Mathematical processing and calculation were impaired in patients with single hemisphere cerebral infarction.Calculation was significantly worse among left hemisphere patients compared with right hemisphere cerebral infarction.There was a highly significant correlation between acalculia and aphasia.
