5) receiving cardiopulmonary coronary artery bypass grafting(CCAB) during the same period was reviewed as control group(CCAB Group).The preoperative risk factors,operation parameters,and postoperative outcomes between the two groups were compared for statistical analysis.Results The EuroSCORE value of the OPCAB Group and the CCAB Group was 9.0?2.6 and 8.3?2.1,respectively(t=2.016,P=0.045). The number of grafts in the OPCAB Group was less than that in the CCAB Group(3.2?0.9 vs 3.8?0.9;t=-4.267,P=0.000).The postoperative levels of creatine kinase(CK) and creatine kinase myocardial band(CK-MB) were significantly lower in the OPCAB Group [570(61～8246) U/L and 20(1～282) U/L] than the CCAB Group [870(246～8155) U/L and 55(12～300) U/L](Z=-3.648 and-5.767,P=0.000).The blood transfusion in the OPCAB Group was significantly less than that in the CCAB Group(775?693 ml vs 1088?712 ml;t=-2.887,P=0.004).There was no statistical difference in postoperative complications between the two groups.The mortality is 3.5%(4/113) in the OPCAB Group and 6.6%(5/76) in the CCAB Group,without statistical difference(?2=0.925,P=0.336).Conclusions OPCAB is safe and effective in high risk patients.Different operation methods should be used for patients with different risks.

Objective To study the facial nerve canal (FNC) abnormalities of the congenital external auditory canal (EAC) atresia by MSCT curved planar reformation (CPR).Methods 15 cases(17 ears) of congenital EAC atresia were scanned by MSCT. Post-processing images were completed by Philips Mx8000 workstation.Results In 17 ears, there were 2 ears with stenosis of EAC, 2 ears with membranous atresia of EAC and 13 ears with bony atresia of EAC.There were 1 ear with congenital cholesteatoma, 3 ears with malformation of tympanum, 7 ears with malformation of the ossicular chain and 1ear with malformation of inner ear. In 17 ears with abnormalities of FNC, included 11 ears with the shortness of FNC general length, 5 ears with the anomalous course of FNC, 9 ears with the displacement of FNC, 1 ear with the narrowing of FNC and 1 ear with the branch of FNC.Conclusion MSCT CPR of FNC, combined with HRCT axial scan, can clearly show the FNC abnormalities of the congenital EAC atresia and provide valuable information for surgery.

Objective Using curved planar reformation(CPR)to delineate the ossicular chain(OC)in one image and evaluate its clinical application. Methods HRCT of temporal bone was performed in 122 cases(165 ears).The CPR of OC was then performed.The main parameters were as follow:collimation 0.5mm,pitch 0.875,reformation interval 0.2～0.3mm,reformation matrix 1024?1024.Results (1)CPR of normal OC were performed on 80 ears,the three ossicles and its joints could be showed on one image clearly.(2)Clincal application(72cases):in 39 cases of temporal bone trauma,OCs were normal in 21 cases and abnormal in 18 cases.Subluxation or dislocation of malleoincudal joint(MIJ)(5,5) and incudostapedial joint(ISJ)(5,6),dislocation of MIJ and ISJ with rotation of incus(1 case),fracture of manubrium of malleus(1 case) were found respectively.In 16 cases of external auditory canal dysplasia(EACD),the most commonly associated type of OC deformity was absence of manubrium of malleus(10 cases)。Absence of OC associated with coarctation of middle ear cavity(3 cases) and fusion of the malleus and incus associated with absence of long process of incus represented in 1 case.Congenital ossicular anomalies without associated EACD were found in 2 cases.The long processes of the incus of both side were absent in 1 case.Incudostapedial disconnection was demonstrated in 1 case due to improper development of the long process of the incus.In 15 cases of chronic otitis media(COM),6 cases were complicated cholesteatoma.Destruction of OC was demonstrated in 6 cases.Conclusion CPR of OC with multislice spiral CT is an effective method in the diagnosis of conductive hearing loss.

Objective To explore the promoting effects of bio-polymer composite film as a micro-skin auto-graft covering on wound healing. Methods The full thickness skin defect models were made on both sides of 30 experimental rabbits. Then, the rabbits were randomly divided into experimental group and control group. In the for-mer group, the side was covered with chitosan/glucomannan composite membrane and in the latter, the side cov-ered with acelluar porcine skin after micro-skin autograft. We obtained wound tissues at week 1 , 2, 3, 4 and 5 af-ter operation. The conditions of wound healing were observed, the rate of wound healing was calculated, HE stain-ing was made, and PCNA and CD31 were detected by immunohistochemistry. Results (1) During 2~4 weeks af-ter operation, the rate of wound healing in the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the control wound (P<0.01). (2) The amount of neutrophil in experimental group was less than that of the control after oper-ation. (3) During 1 ~ 2 weeks after operation, the expression of PCNA in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01), but lower than the control wounds during 1 ~ 2 weeks after operation (P <0.01). (4) During 1 ~ 5 weeks after operation, the expression of CD31 in the experimental group was higher than that of the control group (P < 0.01). Conclusion Chitosan/glucan-mannan composite membrane as a micro-skin autograft covering may promote wound healing.

AIM: To observe the influence of gold nanoparticles combined with Endostar (AuNPs-Endostar) on the melanoma lung metastasis of mice and the underlying mechanism.METHODS: C57BL/6 mice (n=24) were selected for constructing the model of spontaneous lung metastasis of melanoma B16-F10 cells.Subsequently, the mice were randomly divided into Endostar group, AuNPs group, AuNPs-Endostar group and model group.After the formation of melanoma, the mice in each group were injected with different drugs through tail vein for 0.1 mL daily.After 9 d, the mice were narcotized for cutting the tumors in situ.After the operation, they were raised for 2 weeks before killed for obtaining the lung tissues to observe the situation of the metastasis.HE staining was utilized for observing the necrosis status of the tumors in situ, while immunostaining was applied for testing the expression of CD31, carbonic anhydrase-IX (CA-IX), vimentin and zonula occludens-1 (ZO-1) in the tumors.RESULTS: Compared with model group, the pulmonary metastasis in the groups with medical treatment was obviously reduced.In AuNPs-Endostar group, the metastasis inhibition rate was the highest, and the tumor necrosis was also decreased obviously, with the significant reduction of CD31, CA-IX and vimentin expression in the tumors and significant increase in ZO-1 expression.CONCLUSION: Compared with using Endostar or AuNPs alone, the combination of AuNPs with Endostar significantly improves the curative effect of inhibiting the pulmonary metastasis of melanoma in the mice.The mechanism may be related to reducing the tumor angiogenesis, norma-lizing the blood vessels and improving tumor hypoxia, thus inhibiting the tumor epithelial-mesenchymal transition, increasing the tight junctions between tumor cells and decreasing the invasiveness.

Objective To study the relationship of X-ray and MRI features of breast benign lesions with histopathology.Methods The X-ray and MRI features of breast benign lesions in 48 cases were analyzed retrospectively and compared to the histopathogic results.Results There were 18 cases with fibroadenoma and 12 cases with mammoplasia,8 cases with breast galactocele,8 cases with adenosis of breast accompanied by chronic inflammation and 2 cases with lipoma.The structure and vessels of breast were normal mostly in breast benign lesions.The margins of the lesions were clear and the density of lesions was uniformity.The calcifications inside the lesions appeared as granular with definite and smooth margins,less in amounts,growth as plexus-like or diffusive.The lesions were circular,oval or patchy shadows and homogeneous iso-or hypo-intensity on T1WI,iso-or slight hyperintensity on T2WI,and obviously homogeneous enhanced in 4 cases after administration of contrast medium.Conclusion Mammography is the first choice for the breast benign lesions,while MRI can improve the diagnostic accurate rate.
