Objective To study the relationships between hemoglobin concentration,cytokine and cardiac function in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy.Methods Hemoglobin concentration,sernm TNF-α,IL-6 in 121 patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy were measured,left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)by echocardiography,according to hemoglobin concentration,these patients were distributed to the anemic group and the non-anemic group,contrasting to 27 healthy persons.Results The levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6 in the anemic patients group were higher than those in the non-anemic group subjects,but LVEF Wag lower.With the increase of anemia severity,the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6 significantly increased;there was a positive correlation between LVEF and the levels of serum TNF-α,IL-6(P＜0.01),and a negative correlation between LVEF and Hb concentration.Conclusion The levels of cytokine promote the pathophysiological procedure between cardiac failure and anemic in ICM.

Objective Study the value of clinical application of BaiJi and absorbable Gelatin in embolizing uterine myoma together with its effecty, side effect and complication.Methods 21 women with uterine myoma undergoing selective uterine arterial embolization by Seldinger's technique were studied. After retrograde transfemoral introduction of a 5 french catheter, the uterine arteries were successively catheterized. Bai Ji and absorbable Gelatin sponge particles were injected through free flow until devasculariztion. Results Uterine myoma's blood supply came from bilaterial uterine arteries demonstrated by angiography. All the supplying artering images disappeared after the embolization. 3～6 months follow up study showed: a marked reduction in the size of myomata by 38%～90%. Clinical symptoms were improved. There was one failure cas and then underwent uterotomy due to infection. Conclusions The short term effect of using Bai Ji and absorbable Gelatin for embolizing uterine myoma is clinically significant, while long term effects is still wating for research.

Background and purpose:The prognosis of advanced esophageal carcinoma is poor,there are no standard regimens for these patients. This study was to observe and evaluate the clinical feasibility and effi cacy of combined esophageal stent insertion with radiotherapy and concurrent chemotherapy in the treatment of locally advanced esophageal carcinoma. Methods:66 patients with esophageal carcinoma who were not suitable for operation were analyzed retrospectively. In the therapy group,stent was placed in order to relieve esophageal stenosis,and then followed by 3D-CRT and concurrent chemotherapy,while patients in the control group were treated with the placement of stent alone. According to the evaluating standards of WHO and Stooler classifi cation,we evaluated the effi cacy. Results:In the study group,72.2% of 36 cases was observed as partial response(PR),and 13.9% with complete response(CR),overall response rate was 86.1%. 6 and 12 months survival rates were 88.9% and 72.2% in the study group,compared to 53.3% and 26.7% in the control group,respectively(P

Objective To evaluate CT findings and dynamic changes of post-traumatic intrapulmonary hematoma.Methods CT data of 43 patients with traumatic intrapulmonary hematomas were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 52 lesions were found in 43 patients with intrapulmonary hematomas.The majority of hematomas were located in the peripheral lung fields close to the pleura,single or multiple in number.CT showed nodular,mass,fusiform,ribbon and irregular shadows with uniform and high density in lung.There are two types of evolution: (1) The hematomas gradually reduced in size and finally disappeared;(2)The hematomas evolved into gas-liquid cyst cavity or gas cyst cavity, and then was absorbed gradually.Conclusion CT examination is helpful in the early diagnosis of post-traumatic intrapulmonary hematomas, and can monitor the morphology changes over time.

With the increase of morbidity and mortality, pancreatic cancer will not only become one of the leading causes of death in China, but also a major public health problem in the world. New onset cases of pancreatic cancer all around the world are expected to increase year by year. The prognosis of patients with pancreatic cancer is poor. The 5-year survival rate is only about 6%. The major reason for the poor prognosis is the lack of typical clinical symptoms in the early stage of disease, which makes it difficult to detect and control its relevant recurrence and metastasis. Moreover, lack of effective chemotherapy drugs and resistance to existing chemotherapy drugs are also important reasons for its dismal status. Radical resection surgery is still the most effective treatment. However, even after radical resection surgery, early recurrence and distant metastasis are still the main problems that bother patients. This article reviews recent high quality studies on pancreatic cancer including epidemiological investigation, advances in basic research, and clinical treatment.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of transthoracic minimally invasive occlusion operation guided by transesophageal echocardiography for the treatment of congenital atrial or/and ventricular septal defects (ASD/VSD).Methods The clinical data of a total of 44 patients who underwent surgical occlusion operation from September 2013 to June 2015 were summarized.The whole course of occlusion procedure were dynamically monitored and guided by transesophageal echocardiography.All the patients were followed up regularly by electrocardiogram and echocardiograph.Results Among the 44 patients,43 patients(28 VSDs and 16 ASDs,including one patient suffered with VSD and ASD simultaneously)were occluded successfully,and the other patient with VSD who failed in the surgery was converted to open heart repair.The occlusion operations were finished within 22 to 48 min.The length of incision spaned from 2 to 4.5 cm.The ventilator was used for 1 to 5 hours.The total drainge volumes were recorded each patient from 0 to 50 mL.The postoperative hospitalization stay was 2 to 6 days,and all patients survived and were discharged.During the follow-up of 1 to 12 months, there was no cases with A-V conduction block,valve incompetent,cardiac arrhythmia and residual shunt of heart septel defect.Conclusion Transthoraic mini-invasive surgical occlusion of atrial and ventricular septal defects is a therapeutic method with less trauma,higher safety and feasiblity,faster recovery,and the short-term therapeutic effect is satisfying.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze and explore the association between the 1607(1G/2G) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in promoter of matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) gene and susceptibility of head and neck cancer (HNC) by Meta-analysis. METHOD: By the end of January 2014, the published literatures were collected for the case-control studies evaluating the relationship between HNC and -1607 SNP of MMP-1 gene from English and Chinese literature databases according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Then the meta-analysis, the heterogeneity, bias and sensitivity of the results of the eligible literatures were conducted by Stata 10. 0. RESULT: A total of 9 studies including 2049 patients with HNC and 2158 controls were extracted for systematic review on the association of MMP-1 (-1607) 1G/2G SNP with the risk of HNC. Meta-analysis which based on random effects model showed that MMP-1 (-1607) 1G/2G SNP can significantly increase the risk of HNC[1G2G + 2G2G vs. 1G1G: OR = 1.45, 95% CI 1.25-1.68, P < 0.01; 2G2G vs. 1G1G + 1G2G:OR = 1.77, 95% CI 1.37-2.30, P < 0.01; 2G vs. 1G: OR = 1.52, 95% CI 1.26-1.85, P < 0.01; 2G2G vs. 1G1G: OR = 2.06, 95% CI 1.41-3.01, P < 0.01). CONCLUSION MMP-1 (-1607) 1G/2G SNP has close relationship with HNC susceptibility, people who with 2G2G genotype carriers are susceptible to HNC.
