Objective To investigate the correlated issues in the stenting treatment of major airway constriction. Methods Nineteen cases of major airway stenting procedure were studied retrospectively. The clinical choice of stents of different advantages or deficiencies were discussed. The importances of intravenous anesthesia supporting, life parameters monitoring during the procedures and the prevention of complications were analysed. Results Under intravenous and local anesthesia, 19 Wallstents had been successively placed and relieved 19 cases of major airway constrictions due to malignant or benign diseases (15 of tumors, 3 of tuberculosis, 1 of tracheomalacia). Intravenous anesthesia and life parameters monitoring had made the procedures more safe and precise. Conclusions Major airway stenting is an reliable method for relieving trachiobronchial stenosis; and intravenous anesthesia supporting and life parameters monitoring guarantee the satisfactions of procedures.

Objective To investigate the effects and mechanism of Zhixie recipe on small intestinal motility of rats and absorption ability of rabbits.MethodsThree groups of rats,one was fed with distilled water,the another two were fed with Zhixie recipe liquid of 1 g/ml and 2 g/ml.Then all three groups were fed with ink,and the moving distance of the ink in small intestines was measured to check the small intestinal motility; Three mixtures of Zhixie recipe liquid and desktop solution with 0％,5％ and 10％ Zhixie recipe liquid were injected into rabbits,the Chloride ion concentration in small intestines was measured to check the absorption ability.ResultsThe average moving distance percentage of ink in the small intestines of the three groups of rats was 52.55％ ( SD =8.24),54.35％ (SD =12.53 ) and 59.45％ ( SD=14.17) of the total intestine length respectively.It showed that Zhixie recipe had no influence on small intestinal motility (P＞0.05) ; Small intestines absorption experiments revealed that the small intestinal absorption ability was quite different between the rabbits with desktop solution and the rabbits with mixtures of Zhixie recipe liquid and Desktop solution(5％ and 10％),with x2=6.92 and 46.18,P＜0.01.The mixtures with 5％ and 10％ Zhixie recipe liquid improved the small intestinal absorption ability,and the effect of the mixture with 10％ was even stronger.Conclusion Zhixie recipe showed no influence on small intestinal motility,but it improved the small intestinal absorption ability.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between the perioperative application of antibiotics in caesarean opera-tion and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,and to provide reference for reducing the incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. METH-ODS:264 cases of cesarean section women were randomly divided into control group and observation group,with 132 cases in each group. Control group was given antibiotics after operation,and observation group was given prophylactic application of antibi-otics before operation,and equivalent dose of intravenous injection after operation. Postoperative maximum and average tempera-ture,white blood cell(WBC),neutrophils(NEUT),complications and economic index were compared between 2 groups after op-eration. RESULTS:There was no statistically significant difference in postoperative maximum and average temperature,WBC count,NEUT proportion,wound infection and fever rate between 2 groups (P>0.05). The costs of medication,drug dosage per capita,hospital stay and the incidence of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia in observation group were significantly lower than in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The perioperative standard use of antibiotics in caesarean opera-tion could effectively reduce the incidence of postoperative neonatal hyperbilirubinemia and hospitalization cost,and cut down treat-ment time. It also has a high economic value and worthy of promotion.

Objective To assess the association between the depth of trophoblastic penetration into the tubal wall with serum concentrations of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and β-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-HCG). Meth-ods Eighty patients with a diagnosis of tubal pregnancy in the ampullary region underwent radical surgical treatment (sal-pingectomy), were included in this study. The serum levels of VEGF andβ-HCG were detected on the day of surgery. The se-rum level of VEGF was measured by ELISA. The serum level ofβ-HCG was quantified with a two-site immunofluorimetric assay based on the direct sandwichtechnique. Histological material was stained with Masson's trichrome to identify muscular fibers. Immunohistochemical staining was used for human placental lactogen (hPL) to identify intermediate trophoblast and determine the depth of trophoblastic invasion into the tubal wall. The ampullary pregnancies were classified histologically ac-cording to the depth of trophoblastic infiltration into the tubal wall. Results The mean serum values of VEGF andβ-HCG were significantly lower in patients with stage I tubal infiltration than those of stageⅡ, and which were significantly lower in patients with stageⅡthan those in stageⅢ(P<0.05). The threshold serum value of VEGF was 308.6 ng/L, the sensitivity was 100.0%and the specificity was 92.6%for stageⅠand stageⅡ. The threshold serum value of VEGF was 431.9 ng/L, the sensitivity was 79.3%and specificity was 79.2%for stageⅡandⅢ. The threshold serum value ofβ-hCG was 2 509.6 IU/L, the sensitivity was 91.7%and specificity was 81.5%for stageⅠand stageⅡ, and levels of 13 142.6 IU/L, 72.4%and 95.8%for stageⅡand stageⅢ. Conclusion The depth of trophoblastic penetration into the tubal wall is associated with maternal serum concentrations of VEGF andβ-HCG, which can be used as the evaluation index for histological staging of trophoblas-tic tissue infiltration.

Objective To investigate the protective effect and possible mechanism of Decorin on pulmonary fibrosis.Methods A total of 90 healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:group A served as control group,group B was injected BLMA5 through trachea,group C was injected BLMA5 and received treatment of Decorin.Ten rats in each group were killed 7、14、28 days after intratrachael instillation.TGF-?_1 expression was measured by immunohistochemical technique.The degree of alveolitis and fibrosis were measured by HE staining.The contents of hydroxideproline were measured in the homodenate of the rat lung.Results The expressions of TGF-?_1 were increased gradually in group B;in group C the expressions were decreased significantly than group B(P

Objective To explore the curative effect of the umbilical single port laparoscopic salpingectomy for tubal ectopic pregnancy.Methods 296 cases with tubal pregnancy were divided into single-hole group and the conventional group.Mter the operation,incision cosmetic results and patients'satisfaction were compared and analyzed in two groups.Results (1) The anal exhaust time of single hole group and conventional group was (32.6 ± 11.6) h,(34.1 ± 10.2) h (P =0.883).The intraoperative blood loss was (48.7 ± 15.2) ml (41.5 ± 10.9) ml (P =0.313).There was no significant differences(P ＞ 0.05).Operative time of single hole group was (62.6 ± 21.6) min,which was longer than that of the conventional group (42.7 ± 17.6) min,the difference was statistically significant (P =0.000).The ambulation time and demand analgesia patients of single-hole group were significantly lower than the conventional group(P =0.003,P =0.001).(2) In single-hole group,cosmetic results determined a good rate of 96.8％ and patients expressed dissatisfaction rate of 1.2％.cosmetic results of the conventional group judged good rate of 86.4％.patients expressed dissatisfaction rate of 9.3％.The judged good rate of cosmetic results between the two groups had statistically significant difference (P =0.004),and patients expressed dissatisfaction rate of single-hole group was lower than the conventional group.Conclusion For patients with tubal pregnancy,the trekking transumbilical single hole laparoscopic salpingectomy is a more minimally invasive,feasible and safe gynecological surgical procedures and with better cosmetic results,although there is a certain degree of difficulty.

Objective To evaluate multi- slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in diagnosing bronchial-pulmonary shunts (BPS). Methods The materials of MSCTA images in 31 patients with DSA-confirmed BPS were retrospectively analyzed. Taking DSA imaging as the reference standard, the consistency in diagnosing BPS at different levels between MSCTA and DSA was compared. Results On MSCTA using aorta-density trigger scanning technique BPS was manifested as wrong-time enhancement of pulmonary artery branches. Wilcoxon test indicated that MSCTA had a high concordance with DSA in detecting BPS occurring at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches (Z = -1.854, P > 0.05), but MSCTA detection of BPS occurring at peripheral pulmonary arteries was obviously poorer than DSA (Z = -3.923, P < 0.05). MSCTA confirmed the diagnosis of BPS in 11 cases with a sensitive rate of 35.5% (11/31), and no differences in revealing the number and the shunt levels of BPS existed between DSA and MSCTA. The number of abnormal systemic arteries demonstrated by MSCTA was quite the same as the number detected by DSA. No false positive case was seen. Conclusion MSCTA is very effective in diagnosing high-flow BPS locating at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches as well as in revealing abnormal bronchus-related systemic arteries, which is very helpful in preoperatively evaluating the severity of the BP shunting and the supplying arteries to be obstructed.

Objective To investigate the oxidative mechanism of homocysteine ( Hey) -induced apoptosis in endothelial progenitor cells( EPCs). Methods Total mononuclear cells were isolated from mouse bone marrow by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and were cultured in vitro for 7 d. Adherent cells were harvested and identified by fluorescence microscopy. EPCs were cultured with Hey (0, 50, 100 and 500 μmol/L) for 12, 24 and 48 h, or pretreated with NAC (1 mmol/L), DPI( 10 μmol/L) or SB203580 (10 μmol/L) for 30 min, then cultured with 500 μmol/L Hey for 24 h. Apoptosis was detected by Annexin-V/PI flow cytometry, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells were measured using H2DCF-DA as a fluorescence probe, NADPH oxidases were evaluated with lucigenin-enhanced chemilumine9cence, and NO in the supernatant was determined by nitrate reductase assay. Results Hey induced EPCs apoptosis, ROS accumulation, NADPH oxidase activation and decrease of NO in a time-dose dependent manner( P <0.05 or P < 0.01). Pretreatment with NAC, DPI and SB203580 could inhibit these effects (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Hey could activate NADPH oxidase, induce ROS increase and NO decrease, and activate p38MAPK to enhance EPCs apoptosis.
