To investigate the clinical risk factors of cardiac diastolic dysfunction in type 2 DM, Doppler echocardiographic examinations were performed on 63 male patients.With a routine 2 dimensional echocardiograph, mitral and pulmonary venous flow velocity were recorded. The patients were classified into DM, IGT and NGT based on well standardized criteria of WHO. All analyses were performed by the SPSS/PC or Windows Release 9.0 Statistical Package. The risk factors of impairment of diastolic function were analyzed by regression. Results showed that the levels of blood glucose and insulin were independent risk factors for diabetic cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Objective To review our clinical experience on 12 patients with retroperitoneal infection who were treated with retroperitoneal laparoscopic debridement.Method This retrospective study included 12 patients with retroperitoneal infection who were treated with retroperitoneal laparoscopic dehridement and drainage.Results All the 12 patients recovered well and were finally discharged home.Conclusions Retroperitoneal laparoscopic debridement and drainage for retroperitoneal infection is a mini-invasive procedure.It was found to be safe,produced minimal bleeding and resulted in rapid postoperative recovery.It can be used as the first choice treatment in properly selected patients.

Objective To summarize the experience and clinical characteristics in liver re- transplantation following adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation.Methods Due to biliary complication (2 cases),vascular complication (2 cases),chronic rejection (1 case) and hepatitis recur- rence (1 case),liver re-transplantation was performed on 6 patients through modified piggyback liver transplantation.Vascular anastomosis was performed between the hepatic arteries of donor livers and receptor abdominal aorta in 1 case,and the rest were subjected to end-to-end homonymic vascular anastomosis.Results No operative death occurred.Due to primary non-function,1 died after the ope- ration.During the follow-up period,1 had anastomotic stricture of hepatic artery after the operation and was cured by percutaneous venoplasty.The survival of the rest patients was 12,9,6,4 and 3 months respectively.Conclusion Peritoneal adhesion is the operative difficulty for liver re-transplantation following adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation.

Objective To survey on present situation of medical students' study style and to provide references to improve the development of study style. Methods Totally 512 undergraduate stu-dents of one medical university in Tianjing were asked to fill the questionnaire by themselves. Main con-tents of the questionnaire included study targets,study attitudes,study methods,teaching level,teaching equipments,school training system and management system,etc. Epidata3.02 was used to accomplish data entry and SPSS software was used to do statistical analysis. The data were described by percentage. Results More than 50.0% students took attending post-graduate examination,passing college English test band 4 and band 6 and getting diploma as main study purposes. 81.96%(404/499)medical stu-dents spent their spare time on study by themselves. 98.40%(491/499)students took notes in class,while only 8.62%(43/499)students often discussed questions with their teachers after class. 70.54%students said that they ever attended academic lectures organized by college and achieved benefits from them. 40.88%(204/499)students were highly eager to win scholarship. More than half of the students took gloomy atti-tude towards getting a job and this phenomenon should cause educators' attention. 78.56%(392/499 ) students held the opinion that medical professional teachers have higher teaching level and 26.65%(133/499 ) students thought that college's teaching equipments should be improved . Conclusions Following aspects should be emphasized in order to further strengthen and improve medical students' study style:making further efforts to arouse students' study initiative,playing the leading role of teach-ers and promoting study style by promoting teaching style,improving rules and regulations of study style development and strengthening college's hardware construction.

How to remove the well fixed cement or cementless prosthesis and get a completely distal cement removal in the rTHR are critical to the outcome of revision. Because of higher rate of union, excellent intraoperative exposure, and adjustment of abductor tension, ETO has been widely applied to rTHR and complicated primary THR by foreign scholars. Furthermore, this technology has wide indications, very few contraindications, high cure rates,and low complications rate. ETO turns out to be a safe and effective revision technology. In the article, the indication, contraindication, complications and advantages of this technique were reviewed.
