Objective To evaluate the long-term clinical outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI) with drug-eluting stents ( DES) for distal unprotected left main coronary artery (ULMCA) lesions. Methods Between Jan 2005 and Dec 2009, 111 patients with distal ULMCA disease who underwent drug-eluting stents implantation were enrolled in this retrospective study. The primary end points were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) at follow-up, including death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular event and target lesion revascularization ( TLR) . Results Patients were 65. 6 ± 10 years old. 21. 6% were diabetic. 31. 5% of the left main bifurcations were classed as Medina 1, 1, 1. Provisional T stent technique was performed for 79. 3% of the population. 30. 6% of cases underwent angiography follow-up. The median follow-up time was 2. 3 years, the MACCE-free survival was 87. 4% and the estimated freedom from TLR was 94. 6% . Diabetes mellitus was identified as the predictor of TLR. Conclusions PCI with DES for distal ULMCA disease was safe and effective when the strategy was made based on the case-by-case assessment.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of surgical retrieval of testicular spermatozoa,and to present the preliminary results of the retrieved testicular spermatozoa used in intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) for treatment of non obstructive azoospermic infertility. Methods Forty nine cases of non obstructive azoospermia underwent open testicular biopsy and diagnostic testicular sperm extraction (TESE).Those who had sperms in diagnostic TESE underwent ICSI at least 3 months later. Results Sperms were detected in diagnostic TESE in 12 cases (24.9%). The testicular volume,FSH level and testicular pathology did not accurately predict the presence or absence of sperm in testes.Seven (87.5%) of 8 cases had sperm in re TESE, which were used in their ICSI cycles,resulting in 3 clinical pregnancies. Conclusions The diagnostic TESE should be performed to determine the presence or absence of testicular spermatozoa in testicular failure before ICSI,and the surgically retrieved testicular spermatozoa can be adopted in ICSI for treatment of non obstructive azoospermic infertility.

Objective: To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus patent Chinese medicine in treating post-stroke constipation. <br> Methods: Sixty eligible patients with post-stroke constipation were randomized into a treatment group and a control group, 30 in each group. The treatment group was intervened by acupuncture plusMa Zi Ren pill, while the control group was byMa Zi Ren pill alone. The symptoms of constipation were observed before and after intervention. <br> Results: After 2-week treatment, the constipation condition was improved in both groups, and the improvement in the treatment group was statistically more significant than that in the control group (P<0.05); respectively two weeks and a month after the intervention, the treatment group was superior to the control group in comparing the constipation score (P<0.05). However, acupuncture didn’t show marked effect in improving defecation speed, initial defecation time, and spontaneous discharge frequency. The treatment group had a significantly higher short-term markedly-effective rate compared with the control group (P<0.05); the long-term therapeutic efficacy of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05). The adverse events happened in the treatment group were significantly less than those in the control group (P<0.05). <br> Conclusion: Acupuncture at specific acupoints plus patent Chinese medicine can produce a content therapeutic efficacy.
