Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2015;(1):91-92
Objective To explore the correlation between anxiety and the severity of myocardial brigde of left anterior descending. Methods 118 patients with isolated myocardial bridge of left anterior descending underwent coronary angiography were evaluated with Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). They were divided into anxiety group and non-anxiety group. Results There were 48 cases in the non-anxiety group, and 70 cases in the anxiety group. The stricture of myocardial bridge was more serious in the anxiety group than in the non-anxiety group (P<0.01), and positively correlated with the SAS score (r=0.765, P<0.01). Conclusion The anxiety is frequent in patients with isolated myocardial bridge of left anterior descending, and correlated with the severity of myocardial bridge.

Objective To summarize the experience of diagnosis and management of regional portal hypertension. Methods The clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods and therapeutic modalities of 16 cases of regional portal hypertension were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 16 patients with ~regional portal hypertension, 12 cases resulted from pancreatic diseases, and 4 cases were complicated with non-pancreatic diseases. The main clinical findings were splenomegaly in 16(100%), abdominal pain ~in 10(63%) , gastrointestinal bleeding in 7(44%) and abdominal masses in 3(19%). All had normal liver function test. The main diagnostic methods were ultrasonography(US), computerized tomography (CT) and endoscopy. Splenic vein thrombosis could be detected by color Doppler ultrasonography (7/7). ~Enhanced CT could demonstrate enlarged and tortuous short gastric veins, gastroepiploic veins, and ~coll- ~ateral vessels around splenic hilum(16/16). Isolated gastric varices (4/5) were revealed mainly by ~gastro- ~scopy . Splenectomy was effective for controlling gastrointestinal bleeding, and its complication of portal vein thrombosis occurred in 1 case. Conclusions It is not difficult to diagnose regional portal ~hyper- ~tension based on findings of US and CT, together with special clinical characteristics. Therapeutic options should be ~individualized according to underlying diseases, however, splenectomy should be performed in the ~patients with gastrointestinal bleeding.

Objective To investigate the effects of exogenous biliverdin on lung injury induced by brain death (BD) in rats. Methods Twenty-three adult male Wistar rats in which Fogarty balloon catheter was successfully inserted into cranial cavity were randomly divided into 3 groups: group Ⅰ sham operation (group S,n = 7); group Ⅱ brain death (group BD, n = 8) and group Ⅲ biliverdin + BD (group B, n = 8). The animals were anesthetized, intubated and mechanically ventilated. Femoral artery and vein were cannulated for MAP monitoring and drug and fluid administration. Brain death was induced by injecting slowly normal saline into the balloon in group Ⅱ and Ⅲ. BD was confirmed by dilated and fixed pupils, apnea, transient hypertension and EEG changes. In group Ⅲ biliverdin 35 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally as soon as BD was confirmed. The animals were mechanically ventilated for another 1.5 h during which MAP was maintained at 80-120 mm Hg by iv norepinephrine infusion. Arterial blood samples were obtained before anesthesia, immediately before and at 5, 30,60, 90 min after intraperitoneal biliverdin for blood gas analysis and determination of plasma bilirubin concentration. PaO2/FiO2 was calculated. The animals were sacrificed at 1.5 h after biliverdin administration. The left lung was removed for detection of MDA content, SOD activity, total antioxidant capacity, cell apoptosis and biliverdin reductase expression in lung tissue. Results Brain death significantly decreased PaO2/FiO2, lung SOD activity and total antioxidant capacity and increased lung MDA content and apoptosis as compared with sham operation group. IP biliverdin significantly attenuated BD-induced lung injury in group B as compared with group BD. The plasma bilirubin concentration and biliverdin reductase expression were significantly higher in group B than group BD. Conclusion Exogenous biliverdin can attenuate BD-induced lung injury by inhibiting pulmonary oxidative stress response and apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the theoretical knowledge level of Chinese nursing students based on the problem-based learning(PBL)versus traditional teaching methods. Methods Databases including CNKI (1979-2013.03),VIP (1989-2013.03)and Wanfang (1982-2013.03)were searched (up to March,2013)for controlled studies comparing PBL and traditional teaching methods. The quality of included studies was critically evaluated and the data were analyzed by Stata 10.0 software. Results A total of 659 articles were retrieved but only 22 were included. Meta-analyses showed that there were significant differences between PBL and traditional teaching methods in improving theoreti-cal knowledge of nursing students(SMD merge=0.79,95%CI(0.55,1.03),P=0.000). Conclusions PBL can improve the theoretical scores of Chinese nursing students. However,the above conclusion needs to be confirmed by more large-scale randomized controlled trials of higher quality due to the limitation of studies include in this paper.

Objective To assess the surgical treatment of iatrogenic biliary strictures. Methods The clinical data of 235 patients with iatrogenic biliary injuries and strictures who had been admitted to our hospital from January 1989 to December 2006 were reviewed retrospectively. Cholangio-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis (n=182), surgical repair with pediele flap of autogenous tissues (n=34), end-to-end choledocho-choledo-chostomy (n= 12), common bile duct incision and figuration +T-tube drainage ( n =6) and liver transplanta-tion ( n = 1 ) were applied to the patients. Results A total of 189 patients were followed up for 1 to 10 years. The total excellent and good rate was 94.7% (179/189). The recurrence rate of the biliary stricture was 5.3% (10/189), and the main cause of which were biliary cirrhosis, selerosing cholangitis and calculus. One patient with severe biliary cirrhosis and portal hypertension died of liver failure postoperatively. Conclusions The cholangio-jejunal Roux-en-Y anastomosis is a reliable and effective method. Surgical repair of the bile duet with pedicle flap of autogenous tissues could preserve the function of the sphincter of Oddi, but the long-term effect needs further investigation. Biliary stent is not usually necessary to install. Liver transplantation is efficient for the patients with end stage of biliary diseases caused by biliary stricture.
