BACKGROUND:Sirolimus and Paclitaxel-eluting stents are commonly used for clinical application.Sirolimus-eluting stent have been proved safely and effectively to treat acute myocardial infarction.However,the comparison between those two eluting stents has been less reported yet.OBJECTIVE:To compare the security and long-term efficacy between Sirolimus- and Paclitaxel-eluting stents to the treatment of ST-segment acute myocardial infarction via percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention.METHODS:A total of 354 patients with ST-segment acute myocardial infarction,including 259 males and 95 females,were administrated with Sirolimus- and Paclitaxel-eluting stents.All cases were randomly divided into Sirolimus-elutin9 stent group (n=213) and Paclitaxel-eluting stent group (n=141).Major adverse cardiovascular events were compared between the two groups during 1-year following up.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:One-year following up indicated that there was no significant difference in recurrent myocardial infarction (1.5% vs.1.5%) and cardiac death (2.5% vs.3.0%) between the two groups.Radiography showed that there was no significant difference in restenosis rate (5.0% vs.4.5%) between the two groups.Inner diameter lose was (0.19±0.34) mm in the Sirolimus-eluting stent group and (0.19±0.37) mm in the Paclitaxel-eluting stent group,and there was no significant difference.Additionally,there was also no significant difference in major adverse cardiovascular events between the two groups (8.9% vs.9.1%,P>0.05),suggesting that both Sirolimus-and Paclitaxel-eluting stents were safe and effective to the treatment of ST-segment acute myocardial infarction via percutaneous transluminal coronary intervention.

To evaluate the incidence of sub-clinical neck metastasis and its surgical treatment in patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) without clear evidences for lymph nodes metastasis, a total of 205 patients with OSCC in N0 and N1 stage(UICC 1987′s classification) were included in the study.Their clinical and histopathological files were retrospectively studied and patients were followed up after operation. Histopathological positive lymph nodes were found in 10.8%(13/120) of patients,and postoperative lymph nodes metastasis occurred in 16.5%(14/85) of patients without neck dissections.There were no significant differences between N0 and N1 groups.Neck recurrence occurred in 11.9%(5/42) of patients after functional neck dissections.The rate was higher in patients with bucal lesions.Patients undergoing radical neck dissections also had neck recurrence with an incidence of 6.4%.But most of them occurred on contralateral side. It suggested that subclinical metastasis of OSCC with clinically negative neck lymph nodes could not be neglected.Functional neck dissection should include the lymph nodes of level Ⅲ,especially for cancers located on bucca mucosa and tongue.Bilateral neck dissection is necessary for large primary lesions spreading to the contralateral side.

Objective To compare the alaryngeal speakers'voice acoustic parameters and intra-tracheal pressure when they spoke different vowels.Methods 24 patients after tracheo-esophageal shunt phonation by the anastomosis of the membranous portion of the tracheal section with the anterior wall of esophagus after total laryngectomy and 16 esophageal speakers enrolled in this study. The voice acoustic parameters were measured when they spoke soft /a/ and soft /i/. The intra-tracheal pressure of 20 TE speakers was measured when spoke /a/ and /i/.Results There were no significant differences between vowel /a/ and /i/ in the two alaryngeal speaker group. The pressure of TE speakers after Shang's procedrue for comfortable /i/ was higher than that for /a/, and there was significant difference.Conclusion There were the same clinical meanings in evaluating alaryngeal voice acoustic aspect. when using vowel /a/ and /i/. However when using different vowel, the intrtracheal pressure was different in TE speakers.

BACKGROUND: As for the treatment of chylous fistula concurrent in oral-maxillofacial tumor resection simultaneously undergoing neck lymph node dissection, many different approaches have been put forward. A simple surgical ligation, strong negative pressure drainage, filling the muscle tissue alone or a combination of the above methods are all unsatisfactory regarding the prognosis and curative effect.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the validity of medical biological adhesive cohering peripheral autologous muscle tissues to block thoracic duct fistula in order to prevent chylous fistula following neck lymph node dissection.METHODS: All of the 12 patients were detected and diagnosed as chylous fistula in neck lymph node dissection surgery, the wounds were immediately sutured and treated with medical biological adhesive cohering peripheral autologous muscle tissues to block thoracic duct fistula. RESULTS AND CONCLUTION: Of all the 12 patients, 10 recovered without chylous fistula or severe complications, and reoperations were adopted to cure the failed 2 cases. All patients were visited 3 months postoperatively, no recurrence of chylous fistula, local stimulus response or allergy was found. It is suggested medical adhesive to block thoracic duct fistula may be an effective and safe way for prevent chylous fistula following neck lymph node dissection.

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical feature and surgical treatment of large nasopharyngeal angiofibromas with intracranial orcavernous sinus extension.METHODS A total of 16 male patients were collected with a age ranged from 11 to 35 years(mean,17.21 years).All patients underwent resection of nasopharyngeal angiofibromas with intracranial or cavernous sinus extension.The procedure included lateral rhinotomy,craniofacial combined approach,median labiomandibulotomy combined with a trans-palatal,transmaxillary approach and middle face degloving approach.RESULTS Sixteen cases received 28 procedures.Seven patients had no recurrence but 9 patients had recurrence at least once.Twenty eight procedures include 11 times lateral rhinotomy,6 times craniofacial combined approach,2 times frontotemporal approach,4 times transpalatal approach,2 transmaxillary approach,1 median labiomandibulotomy combined with a trans-palatal and 2 times middle face degloving approaches.CONCLUSION Radical operative resection is the main treatment method for nasopharyngeal angiofibroma with intracranial or cavernous sinus extension.The first operation recurrence rate is 8/15(53.0%) and sphenoid tumor residual may often be ignored in the operation and it is the main site of tumor recurrence.Craniofacial,median labiomandibulotomy combined with a trans-palatal and middle face degloving approaches were the best choices for large nasopharyngeal angio fi broma with intracranial or cavernous sinus extension.

BACKGROUND:Recently,acellular dermal matrix allograft has been widely used in the repair of oral mucosal defects.But little information is about the heterogeneous acellular dermal matrix (HADM) patch for repair of oral mucosal defects.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the efficacy and biosafety of HADM in the repair of oral mucosal defects.METHODS:In total 71 patients with oral benign or malignant tumors who had oral mucosal or soft tissue defects following tumorectomy were included in this study.These patients comprised 37 males and 34 females,and were averaged 45 years (range,20-70 years old).Of them,42 suffered from benign tumors and 29 from malignant tumors.HADM patches were used for repair of oral mucosal defects.The survival,color,and texture of HADM patches were observed.Shrinkage rate of HADM patches was compared between regions without supports from hard tissues (cheeks,tongue,and mouth floor) and with supports from hard tissues (gingiva,hard palate).RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:All 71 HADM completely survived.No necrosis and infection occurred.At 2 weeks after transplantation,(98.20±5.20) % of patch area survived.At 3 months after transplantation,patches showed similar color to surrounding oral mucosa and most patients had sense of tension to different extents.At 6 months after transplantation,cell creeping substitution and vasculadzation were successfully accomplished in the region of patch transplantation.Patches grew stably,with smooth pink appearance and good elasticity,and no further shdnkage.Patients felt normal.HADM patch shrank primarily at 2 weeks-1 month after transplantation,and tended to be stable at 3 months.There was no significant difference in tissue morphology between surgical region and normal tissue.The HADM shdnkage rate was significantly higher in regions without supports from hard tissues than regions with supports from hard tissues.These findings indicate that HADM patches have advantages in repair of oral mucosal defects including good histocompatibility,wide source,simple manipulation,and able to cover the wound surface in the early state,promote wound surface healing,and reduce scar formation,and can be used as an ideal matedal for repair of oral mucosal defects.

Objective: To study the risk factors for prevalence of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in young and middle-aged population. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted in 110100 subjects at the age of (18-98) years who received physical examination in Kailuan Group from 2012-06 to 2014-10. Based on the limitations of male≤53 years and female≤63 years, a total of 62367 subjects were enrolled in our study. The subjects were followed-up for 2 years by the end point event of AMI to analyze the risk factors ofAMI occurrence. Results: According to AMI occurrence at the follow-up period, the subjects were divided into 2 groups: AMI group, n=56 and Control group, n=62152. Compared with Control group, AMI group had increased BMI, SBP, DBP and elevated blood levels of LDL-C, TG; AMI group also showed the higher ratios of subjects with the history of diabetes and taking anti-hypertension medication. Cox proportional hazard regression analysis indicated that age (RR=1.37), male (RR=60.54), LDL-C (RR=1.12), and TG (RR=5.93) were the risk factors forAMI occurrence in young and middle-aged population, allP<0.05. Conclusion: Age, male gender, blood levels of LDL-C, and TG were the risk factors for AMI occurrence in young and middle-aged population.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect and safety of different thrombolytic therapies for acute cerebral infarction due to occlusion of middle cerebral artery(MCA).MethodsOne hundred and thirty-two cases of acute cerebral infarction in territory of MCA were randomly divided into 3 groups,all of which were treated with alteplase.Group A (48 cases) was treated by intra-venous therapy with alteplase,group B (43 cases) was treated by infusing alteplase at the site of the internal carotid artery,and group C(41 cases) was treated by infusing alteplase into the thrombus.The improvement of neurological function,complications and mortality rate were recorded and statistically compared,with analysis of variance for counting data of normal distribution,x2 test for quantitative data,and the mean difference was significant at the 0.05level.ResultsThe effective rates of group A,B and C at 2 h,24 h,2 w were 18.8％ (9/48),39.6％ ( 19/48),45.8％ (22/48) ;39.5％ (17/43),53.5％ (23/43),58.1％ (25/43) ;78.0％ (32/41),85.4％ (35/41 ),87.8％ (36/41)respectively.The effective rate of group C was obviously better than group A( x2 =12.809,9.979,9.289,P ＜ 0.01 ) and B (x2 =31.295,19.425,17.161,P ＜ 0.01 ) with statistical significance.The effective rate of group B was better than group A at 2 h after thrombolytic therapy with statistical significance (x2 =4.801,P ＜ 0.05 ).The effective rate of group A and B did not have significant difference at 24 h,2 w after therapy ( x2 =1.765,1.375,P ＞ 0.05 ).The hemorrhage rates of group A,B and C were 14.6％ (7/48),14.0％ (6/43),7.3％ (3/41 ),the mortality rates of group A,B and C were 6.2％ (3/48),4.6％ (2/43),2.4％ (1/41),and there was no significant difference among the 3 groups ( x2 =1.328,0.786,P ＞ 0.05 ).ConclusionIt is suggested that the thrombus-imbeded thrombolytic therapy is a better way in treating acute cerebral infraction due to occlusion of MCA for its rapid and better therapeutic effect.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the short-term efficacy of autogenous bone pate and Palva graft for obliterating huge remnant mastoid cavity in canal wall down approach. METHOD: Retrospective analysis clinical data of twenty-one cholesteatomatous cases operated by one surgeon from 2004 to 2007. In twelve cases, simultaneous III type tympanoplasty (Sheehy, P. O. P) was performed. Other 9 cases had undergone mastoidectomy elsewhere before the admission. Six of them were still draining with huge remnant mastoid cavity, and the rest three patients had relapsed cholesteatomas with intermittent draining and huge mastoid cavity. Normal saline solution perfusion was used to measure the volume of remnant mastoid cavity. The criterion of huge remnant mastoid cavity is more than 8 ml. RESULT: Of twelve primary cases with III type tympanoplasty, 11 patients maintained a small, dry, and healthy mastoid cavity after twenty-seven days. The average increase of hearing level of them was 17.5dB, and the air-bone gap is less than 20 dB. Of one patient, bone pate was infected and was discharged. A dry mastoid cavity was achieved until fifty-five days after surgery. The patient is keeping a big air-bone gap caused by displacement of ossicle chain prosthesis. Just eighteen days later, other nine cases of revision mastoidectomy achieved a small, dry, and healthy mastoid cavity, with lightly improved hearing level. CONCLUSION Obliteration of a canal wall down huge mastoid cavity by Palva graft with autologous bone pate is a reliable and effective technique that results in a small, dry, low-maintenance mastoid cavity. The short-term efficacy of simultaneous III tympanoplasty is satisfactory if patient selection is suitable.
