Objective To explore the influence of fixed in advance on the positive rate and integral of neutrophilic alkaline phosphatase (NAP) dyeing.Methods Totally 182 cases of fresh venous blood from inpatients in the top three hospital department of hematology were randomly selected and anticoagulated in the EDTA-K2 vacuum tube.Three blood smears from which were prepared as follows:the first blood smear(Named A) NAP dyeing completed within an hour;the second one (Named B) were fixed in advanceand NAP dyeing after one day;the third one (Named C) didn′t do any processing and NAP dyeing after one day.At the same time,the blood samples were taken from the fresh blood,and the blood smears were prepared and stained with NAP in an hour.NAP dyeing were performed by NAP dyeing for the blood smears,and 100 neutral rods,nucleus granulocyte were observed under microscope in the oil mirror vision,the test results record by positive rate and integral.Results No significant difference of NAP positive rate and integral was found in EDTA-K2 anticoagulation venous blood smear A when compared with fresh peripheral blood(P>0.05).The NAP positive rate and integral of EDTA-K2 anticoagulation venous blood smear B was slightly lower than that from fresh peripheral blood,but no significant difference was found(P>0.05).However,the NAP positive rate and integral in EDTA-K2 anticoagulant venous blood smear C has a significant difference from fresh peripheral blood(P<0.05).Conclusion The NAP dyeing results of EDTA-K2 anticoagulation venous blood smear fixed and placed one days are still reliable,while the NAP dyeing results was significantly reduced in the unfixed EDTA-K2 anticoagulation venous blood smear placed after one day.

Objective To compare three ultrasonic methods of transabdominal , transvaginal , and transperineal ultrasonogra-phy for the cervical length ( CL) in predicting the preterm birth .Methods The pregnancy women with threatened preterm labor in Hunan Provincial Hospital of Maternal and Child Health from January , 2012 to December, 2013 were chosen to measure the cervical length by sonography , and were randomly divided into three guoups ( 280 pregnancy women in each group ) , including Group Ⅰ( transabdominal ) , groupⅡ( transvaginal ) , and group Ⅲ ( transperineal ) .The cervical length and the pregnancy outcome were fol-lowed up.Results The acceptance rate of group Ⅱ(81.8%=229/280) was significantly lower than that of groupⅠ(100%=280/280)and group Ⅲ(99.3%=278/280)( P <0.05).The realization ratio of the cervix in group Ⅰ(85.0%=238/280) was signifi-cantly lower than that of group Ⅱ(98.7%=226/229) and group Ⅲ (98.2%=273/278) ( P <0.05).The preterm birth rate of 48.6%(18/37) in groupⅠ, 37.8%(28/74) in groupⅡ, and 37.1%(33/89) in groupⅢin the pregnancy women with CL <3 cm was significantly higher than the corresponding preterm birth rate of 17.9%(36/201) in groupⅠ, 13.2%(20/152)in groupⅡ, and 13.6% (25/184) in groupⅢin the pregnancy women with CL≥3 cm.The sensitivity of groupⅠ(33.3%=18/54) was significantly lower than that of group Ⅱ(58.3%=28/48) and group Ⅲ(56.9%=33/58).Conclusions The cervical length measured by ultra-sound is valuable in predicting preterm birth among the pregnancy women with threatened preterm birth .The transperineal ultrasonogra-phy is superior to transabdominal and transvaginal ultrasonography in predicting preterm birth , and is worth being popularized .

This study was aimed to establish a quality evaluation method, quantitative analysis of multi-components with a single-marker (QAMS) to determine the contents of five saponins in Yao-Bi-Tong (YBT) capsules. Ginseno-side Rg1 was used as the internal standard; the relative correction factor (RCF) of notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Re, ginsenoside Rb1 and ginsenoside Rd were calculated and evaluated. The contents of 5 saponins were determined by the external standard method and QAMS, respectively. Rationality, feasibility and repeatability of the QAMS method were verified by comparing the results obtained from two different methods. The results showed that RCFs of notoginsenoside R1, ginsenoside Re and ginsenoside Rb1 to ginsenoside Rg1 against YBT capsules were 0.999, 1.228, 0.990 and 1.094, respectively, indicating good reproducibility. These results of two methods had no significant dif-ference. It was concluded that the QAMS method can be accurately, rapidly and reasonably used as a new quality assessment model for ginsenosides in YBT capsules.

Objective To compare the effects of moderate and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) during aortic arch surgery in the adult patients,to offer the evidence for the detection of which temperature provides best brain protection in the subjects who accept the great aortic surgery.Methods A total of 109 patients undergoing the surgery of aortic arch were divided into the moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest group and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest group.We recorded the characters of the patients and their cardiopulmonary bypass time,aortic clamping time,cerebral perfusion time and postoperative recovery time,tracheal intubation time,time of intensive care unit (ICU) and postoperative cognitive dysfunction.Results Patients' characteristics were similar in two groups.All the patients were cured.There were no significant differences in aortic clamping time of each group [(111.4 ± 58.4) min vs.(115.9 ± 16.2) min];selective cerebral perfusion time [(27.4 ± 5.9) min vs.(23.5 ±6.1) min] of the moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest group and deep hypothermic circulatory arrest group.There were significant differences in the cardiopulmonary bypass time[(207.4 ± 20.9) min vs.(263.8 ± 22.6) min],the postoperative recovery time [(19.0 ± 11.1) h vs.(36.8 ± 25.3) h],intubation time [(46.4 ± 15.1) h vs.(64.4 ± 6.0)h];length of ICU [(4.7 ± 1.7) d vs.(8.± 2.3) d],and postoperative cognitive dysfunction of the two groups.Conclusion Compared to the deep hypothermic circulatory arrest,the moderate hypothermic circulatory arrest can provide better brain protection and achieve good clinical results.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of tuberculosis (TB) in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive population and explore its influencing factors.Methods Cluster sampling was used,continuous 205 cases who were diagnosed as HIV positive from December 16,2002 to June 30,2012 in Zhuhui district and Yanfeng district of Hunan province and could be followed up and traced were enrolled in the study.All patients were screened after informed content through questionnaire,sputum smear examination,chest X-ray examination,liquid culture (BACTECTM MGITTM 960 operating system),mycobacterium species identification (for liquid culture positive) and CD4 testing.Univariate and multivariate analyses were conducted to identify the impacts of different sex,age,and TB suspect syndromes,etc.Results Of 205 cases,19 were diagnosed as tuberculosis.The rate of TB/HIV was 9.3％.Univariate analysis showed that age,annual household net income,being acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients and with TB suspect syndromes had significant impacts on tuberculosis combining (P ＜ 0.05).While multivariate analysis showed that age (OR =1.443) and TB suspect syndromes (OR =3.124) were risk factors influencing TB combining in people living with HIV (PLHIVs).Conclusions TB prevalence in HIV positive population was higher in Zhuhui district and Yanfeng,those aged and with TB suspect syndromes cases had higher risk to develop tuberculosis.TB screening should be reinforced in HIV positive population.

Objective To summanrize the operative method and follow-up data of total aortic arch replacement combined with transaortic stented graft implantation into the descending aorta (Sun's procedure) for acute Stanford type A aortic dissection.Methods Between August 2004 and March 2012,73 patients with acute type A aortic dissection underwent this procedure.60 males and 13 females ranging in age from 26 to 79 years (mean age,49,6 years).Right axillary or femoral artery cannulation was routinely used for cardiopulmonary bypass.Cerebral protection was achieved by bilatero-antegrade or selected hrain perfusion.The stented elephant trunk was implanted throuugh the aortic arch under hypothermic circulatory arrest.The stented elephant trunk was a 10cmlong self expandable graft.Patent false lumina were evaluated using computed tomography 3 months and once each year after discharge to evaluate the postoperative time course of the residual false lumen.Results Mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was (248.1±69.8)min,and selected cerebral perfusion time was (38.2±10.5)min.Hospital morality was 6.85 ％ (5/73).Thrombus obliteration of the residual false lumen in the descending thoracic aorta was observed in 9 1.7％ of the aortic dissections 3 months postoperatively.The mean follow-up time was(36.4 ± 31.6)months (range,2 to91 months).Survival at 1,5,7 years was 97％,87％ and 81％,respectively.Conclusion Total aortic arch replacement combined with transaortic stented paft implantation into the descending aorta is an effective treatment and n more promising choice for acute type A aortic dissection.

Objective To compare early outcomes of the minimally invasive aortic valve surgery (MIAVS) through right parasternal mini-thoracotomy with conventional mitral valve surgery (AVS),and evaluate feasibility and safety of MIAVS.Methods From January 2017 to December 2017,60 patients undergoing elective AVS in Nanjing First Hospital were prospectively enrolled in this study.There were 32 male and 28 female patients with their age of 28-72 (46.5 ± 10.2)years.Using a random number table,all the patients were randomly divided into a port-access MIAVS group (MIAVS group,n =20) and a conventional AVS group (conventional group,n =60).MIAVS group patients received port-access cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) establishment via femoral artery,femoral vein and right internal jugular vein cannulation through right the 3rd in tercostal space with 5-6 cm right parasternal incision in length.Special MIAVS operative instruments were used for mitral valve repair or replacement.Conventional group patients received mitral valve repair or replacement under conventional CPB through median sternotomy.Perioperative clinical data,morbidity and mortality were compared between the 2 groups.Results There was no death in-hospital or shortly after discharge in this study.CPB time [(106.0 ± 21.0) minutes vs (73.0 ± 15.0) minutes] and aortic cross-clamping time [(78.0 ± 10.0) minutes vs (47.0 ± 7.0) minutes] of MIAVS group were significantly longer than those of conventional group (P ≤ 0.05).Postoperative mechanical ventilation time [(7.0 ±4.2) hours vs (10.2 ±5.3)hours],length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay [(19.0 ± 4.0) hours vs (27.5 ± 8.0) hours] and postoperative hospital stay [(8.5 ± 2.5) days vs (13.0 ± 3.0) days] of MIAVS group were significantly shorter than those of conventional group (P ≤ 0.05).Chest drainage volume within postoperative 12 hours [(100.0 ±40.0)ml vs (410.0 ±80.0)ml] and the percentage of patients receiving blood transfusion (15.0％ vs 55.0％) of MIAVS group were significantly lower than those of conventional group (P ≤0.05).Patients were followed up for 1-12 months,and the follow-up rate was 96.7％.There was no statistical difference in postoperative morbidity or mortality between the 2 groups (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Minimally invasive aortic valve surgery through right right parasternal mini-thoracotomy is a safe and feasible procedure for surgical treatment of mitral valve diseases.MIAVS can achieve similar clinical outcomes as conventional AVS,with more quickly recovery and less blood transfusion,and is a good alternative to conventional AVS.

Objective:To analyze the factors affecting the disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis in patients with ulceration necrosis tracheobronchial tuberculosis (TBTB Ⅱ) after standardized chemotherapy and bronchoscopic intervention.Methods:The clinical data of 222 TBTB Ⅱ patients admitted to Hunan Chest Hospital from January 2015 to December 2018 were collected, bronchoscopic interventional treatment was performed on time. The texture, blockage of lumen, granulation proliferation, airway stenosis of TBTB patients before treatment, the disappearance time of airway dead objects, scar repair time and stenosis degree after treatment were followed up. The disappearance time of airway necrosis and repair time of airway scar stenosis and its influencing factors were recorded and analyzed.Results:In 222 patients, 508 ulceration necrosis airway lesions were found under bronchoscopy, with a median of 2(1-6); 170(76.6%) cases of airway lesions had different degrees of stenosis before treatment. 79(35.6%) patients had tough necrosis, and 86(38.7%) patients had necrosis blocking the lumen; 132(59.5%) patients had granulomatosis. The disappearance time of airway necrosis after treatment was 1 to 32 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 6(3, 9) weeks; the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 2 to 73 weeks, and M( Q1, Q3) was 14(10, 19) weeks; after treatment, there were 90.5%(201/222) patients with different degrees of scarring in the airways. Cox multiple analysis showed that the risk factor for the disappearance time of airway necrosis was tough tough necrosis ( HR=1.52, 95% CI: 1.10-2.10); the risk factor for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was the disappearance time of airway necrosis 6-9 weeks ( HR=2.73, 95% CI: 1.84-4.05). Conclusions:90.5% of patients with type Ⅱ TBTB developed airway scar stenosis after treatment. The median time for the disappearance of airway necrosis was 6 weeks, and the median time for the repair time of airway scar stenosis was 14 weeks. In the interventional process, attention should be paid to the removal of tough necrosis and the efficiency of necrosis removal to reduce the risk of airway scar stenosis.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of inhalation of sevoflurane during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on early postoperative brain injury in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.Methods:Forty-two American Society of Anesthesiaologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of either sex, aged 40-70 yr, weighing 47-86 kg, scheduled for elective single valve replacement under CPB, were divided into 3 groups ( n=14 each) using a random number table method: control group (group C), combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia group (group CA) and sevoflurane group (group S). During CPB, propofol 4-6 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused in group C, propofol 2-3 mg·kg -1·h -1 was intravenously infused, and 0.5 MAC sevoflurane was inhaled via the membrane oxygenator in group CA, and 1.0-1.5 MAC sevoflurane was inhaled via the membrane oxygenator in group S. The anesthesia and sedation index values were maintained at 40-60 during operation in the three groups.Blood samples were taken from arteries before anesthesia induction (T 1), at 30 min and 6 and 24 h after termination of CPB (T 2-4) for determination of plasma concentrations of neuron-specific enolase (NSE) and Tau protein. Results:Compared with group C, the plasma concentration of NSE was significantly decreased at T 2, 3, and plasma concentration of Tau protein was decreased at T 2-4 in group S, and the plasma concentration of Tau protein was decreased at T 2 in group CA ( P<0.05). Compared with group CA, the plasma concentration of NSE was significantly decreased at T 2, 3, and the plasma concentration of Tau protein was decreased at T 2-4 in group S ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Inhalation of sevoflurane during CPB can reduce early postoperative brain injury to a certain extent in the patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement.

Objective To investigate the impact of perioperative mild hypothermia on the neurological function and prog-nosis of patients with acute type A aortic dissection. Methods This study enrolled 65 patients with acute aortic dissection un-derwent surgery during the period of February 2017 to February 2018 and randomly divided them into mild hypothermia group and control group. After the process of deep hypothermic circulatory arrest,patients in the mild hypothermia group were re-warmed to 34 ℃ - 35 ℃ and maintained until 24 h after the operation. While,the patients in the control group were rewarmed to 36 ℃ and were treated with routine rewarm therapy. Baseline characteristics were recorded before the operation and neuro-logical and prognosis related indexes were recorded after the operation for all the patients. At the same time,peripheral venous bloods of all the patients were collected preoperatively and at 1、6、 12 and 24 h after the operation. Serum S 100β and neuron-specific enolase(NSE)levels were measured by ELISA kit. Results Compared with the control group,patients in the mild hypothermia group had a significantly shorter recovery time[ 10. 6 h(IQR:7. 6, 19. 1)vs. 25. 8 h(IQR: 13. 3,54. 2),P =0. 007]. At the same time,serum levels of NSE at 1 h and 6 h after operation and serum levels of S 100β levels at 1、6、 12 and 24 h after operation in the mild hypothermia group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P < 0. 05). In addi-tion,the length of stay in the mild hypothermia group was significantly shorter than that in the control group[ 19 days(IQR: 17, 23)vs. 24 days(IQR: 17,28),P = 0. 036]. However,there was no statistically difference in the incidence of delirium and cerebrovascular accidents between the two groups. Conclusion Perioperative mild hypothermia therapy can significantly re-duce brain cell damage in the patients with acute type A aortic dissection and can shorten postoperative recovery time and hospi-talization time,and thus improve the prognosis of patients.
