Pancreatic portal hypertension (PPH),which accounts for about 5% of extrahepatic portal hypertension cases,is mainly caused by pancreatic tumor,chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic ductal lithiasis.The pathogenesis and pathological characteristics of PPH are attributed to anatomical structure between splenic vein and pancreas.It is different from cirrhotic portal hypertension,PPH patients may present with less esophageal and gastric fundus varices,but more significant gastric body varices.The portal vein radiography is recognized as the golden standard for PPH diagnosis.There are two types of treatment modalities for PPH,symptomatic treatment and pathogenesis-based treatment.In clinically,we should take careful consideration into portal hypertension and primary disease,aim to resolve causes and manage complication concurrently.

OBJECTIVETo explore the alterations of after depolarization and triggered activity in myocardiac muscle during progression of mouse aortic stenosis.
METHODSAfter the establishment of mouse aortic stenosis model, the heart was collected and intracellular potential was recorded using standard glass microelectrode. After the recording, the action potential (AP), early after depolarization (EAD), delayed after depolarization (DAD) in papillary muscles were analysed.
RESULTS(1) Compared with that of time-matched control mice, there were no changes of the action potoutial duration at 90% repolarization(APD90) in model mice at 2 and 5 weeks, whereas the APD90 was progressively prolonged at 9 and 13 weeks. (2) During the 30 minites of the experiment, spontaneous EADs and DADs were frequently present in medel mice at 9 and 13 weeks, were not in control and model mice at 2 and 5 weeks. (3) Compared with those of control group, EADs and DADs triggered by hypokalaemia or isoproterenol were increased significantly. The incidence rate of triggering EADs and DADs was progressively increased over time.
CONCLUSIONEAD, DAD and trigger activities increase gradually during the process of aortic stenosis, and it suggests that the myocardium electrical-instability is markedly increased in the insult hearts.

OBJECTIVETo find the characteristic parameters from electrocardiogram (ECG) which is most related to pathological progress, surface ECG was performed in mice at 2, 5, 9 and 13 week post surgery.
METHODSElectrocardiogram recordings: The mice were anaesthetized with tribromoethanol (250 mg/kg, i.p.). Lead II surface ECG were acquired by using the Biopac System MP150 at a rate of 5 kHz.
RESULTS(1) No arrhythmia was observed in Sham and 2-week Band mice. Spontaneous arrhythmias were observed in ECG recordings, with an incidence of 15%, 28% and 63% in 5-, 9- and 13-week Band mice, respectively. Tachyarrhythmias, such as frequent premature ventricular extrasystole, bigeminy, trigeminy, and paroxysmal tachycardia were found. (2) Analysis of ECG recordings revealed a significant prolongation of QT and QTc intervals. Compared with age-matched Sham mice, the increment in QT and QTc intervals was 20.4%, 32.7%, 49.7%, 61.0% and 27.1%, 32.1%, 43.9%, 59.1% at 2, 5, 9 and 13 week, respectively (P < 0.01). (3) The characteristic change in electrocardiogram was on the J wave. The amplitude of J wave was upward in Sham mice, and it was significantly flattened or inverted in Band mice. (4) Except that RR interval at 2 week showed a slight decrease, there was no significant change in PR interval and RR interval in Band mice.
CONCLUSIONIn the present study, we found that the increase incidence of spontaneous arrhythmias, prologation of QT interval and changes in the amplitude of the J wave in the surface ECG during progression of mouse cardiac hypertrophy and failure, and the progressive pattern indicated that a gradual aggravation of the ventricular repolarization delay in this mouse model.

Objective To investigate the clinical value and safety of cedilanid, esmolol in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Methods From August 2014 to August 2016 our Hospital from 117 patients with atrial fibrillation clinical data, according to the random number distribution principle, the patients were divided into observation group 59 cases and control group of 58 cases, all patients were given the treatment of primary disease, the clinical symptoms, the patients in the observation group were given oxygen, has given furosemide, cedilanid, after micro injection pump intravenous nitroglycerin, 5-20 g/min. Start after the injection of nitroglycerin, establish another vein channel, every 30 min to 0.2 mg patients, the treatment group were treated with intravenous injection of small dose esmolol. The clinical efficacy, ventricular rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and adverse reactions were observed in two groups. Results The early and late effective rates of the two groups were not significantly different. The observation showed that after treatment, the ventricular rate, systolic pressure and diastolic pressure in the observation group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05), and the incidence of adverse reactions in the two groups was significantly different (P<0.05). Conclusion High dose cedilanid combined with small dose esmolol in treatment of atrial fibrillation, obvious curative effect, high safety, can choose the appropriate application.

AlM:To observe the efficacy of using botulinum toxin A in the treatment of blepharospasm.
METHODS: Totally 113 patients with blepharospasm were managed with a local injection of botulinum toxin A, and the therapeutic effect was evaluated.
RESULTS:Fifty-nine cases ( 52. 2%) had a complete remission of symptoms, 49 patients ( 43. 4%) presented with obvious relieved spasm, 4 cases ( 3. 5%) were partially relieved and the 1 patient ( 0. 9%) remained unchanged. The total effective rate was 99. 1%. The time of beginning effect was 1-14d. The recover time was mostly in 14d. The average of therapeutic effect lasted 1-9mo. Adverse reactions such as mild palpebra dysraphism, palpebra ptosis and local subcutaneous blood stasis were found in 23 patients, and the symptoms disappeared in 2-4wk.
CONCLUSlON:Botulinum toxin A can effectively control medium and severe blepharospasm by injecting a little dose on local muscle.

Objective To investigate the roles of phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10(PTEN),insulin-like growth factor 1(IGF-1),and insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R) in the tumorigenesis,development,invasion and metastasis,and prognostic value of gastric cancer.Methods Immunohistochemical assay was used to detect the expressions of PTEN,IGF-1,and IGF-1R in gastric cancer tissue samples from 74 gastric cancer patients and in normal gastric mucosa of 20 health individuals.All data of these patients were collected including the grading and differentiation of the tumor.Results In gastric cancer,expression of PTEN was decreased,and expressions of IGF-1,and IGF-1R were enhanced.The expressions of PTEN,IGF-1 and IGF-1R had correlation with the outcome and biological behavior of gastric cancer.PTEN expression was higher in no lymph node metastasis group than lymph node metastasis group,higher in stage Ⅰ–Ⅱgroup than stage Ⅲ–Ⅳgroup.IGF-1 and IGF-1R expressions were higher in progressive group than early gastric cancer group,higher in poor differentiation group than moderate and well differentiation group,higher in lymph node metastasis group than no lymph node metastasis group,higher in stage Ⅰ–Ⅱgroup than stage Ⅲ–Ⅳgroup.PTEN-negatively-expressed patients had poor prognosis compared with positively-expressed ones;so did those who expressed IGF-1 and IGF-1R.Conclusion The changes of PTEN,IGF and IGF-1R play roles in gastric cancer genesis,progression and prognostic evaluation.
