Objective To observe the clinical value of doppler ultrasound in evaluation of the treatment outcome of alcoholic liver disease.Methods 212 patients with alcoholic liver disease were selected.Ultrasound and liver function tests were applied before and after treatment,and temperance and medicines were applied for treating.The effects were used to observe the senlitivity of ultrasound applied in evaluation the treatment outcome of alcoholic liver disease.Results Of 212 cases,95 cases were diagnosed as alcoholic fatty liver disease by ultrasound before treatment,and the detection rate before treatment was 96.70％.51 cases were diagnosed as alcoholic hepatitis and 59 cases were alcoholic cirrhosis.After treatment,there were 37 cases had abnormal ultrasound images in 43 patients with alcoholic liver disease,and the detection rate was 86.04％.And 9 cases were diagnosed as alcoholic fatty liver disease by ultrasound,12 cases were diagnosed as alcoholic hepatitis and 16 cases were alcoholic cirrhosis.Conclusion It was noninvasive,cheap,convenient and repeated by using doppler ultrasound,and it was conducive to grasp the change of the condition of the patients for doctors.Ultrasound could be chosen as the preferred method for diagnosis of alcoholic liver disease.

Objective: To evaluate the surgical results of aortic regurgitation caused by aortitis. Methods: Results: Between 1990 and 2002, 20 patients with aortic regurgitation caused by aortitis underwent surgery. The surgical procedures included aortic valve replacement in 12 patients and aortic root replacement in 8 (Bentall type operation in 5, Cabrol type operative in 2, and David type operation in one). Conclusion: There was no operative death. The follow-up duration ranged from 2 to 61 months (mean, 24 months). Postoperative perivalvular leakage and/or detachment of the prosthetic valve occurred in 7 patients after aortic valve replacement. 7 patients required re-operation, and 3 patients underwent third operation due to perivalvular leakage. There were 4 later deaths (20%). Conclusion: The timing for the operation, selection of operative procedure, and preoperative control of active inflammation were essential for successful treatment of aortic regurgitation caused by aortitis.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of Biafine cream to prevent acute irradiation-induced dermal injury. Methods 104 patients who had to accept radiotherapy were randomized into two groups:treatment group(56 cases) was give Biafine cream application since the first radiotherapy session while the other 48 served as control without this medication when general and health education program was given. Results Dermal toxic rate and degree in the treatment group were obviously lower than those of the control group, with the difference between the two groups significant. Conclusions Biafine cream can effectively prevent acute irradiation-induced dermal injury. It can alleviate the patients' suffering and improve their quality of life, so as to ensure uneventful radiotherapy .

Objective To summarize the methods and results of surgical treatment of coarctation of the aorta associated with aortic dissection.Methods Analyzed the clinical data of 10 patients with aortic coarctation associated type B aortic dissection who underwent one-stage surgical repair between 2011 and 2013 in Anzhen Hospital.There were 7 males and 3 females with the age ranged from 23 to 56 years,average at 41.2 years.All patients were diagnosed by UCG and CTA.There are three key points to determine the operation method,diameter of the aortic arch and descending aorta,and the extent of dissection.Descending thoracic aortic replacement with short stented elephant trunk was performed in 3 patients,thoracic and abdominal aortic replacement in 1 patient,ascending-abdominal aorta bypass with arch or descending aortic ligature in 3 patients.Results One hospital death occurred(10％).There was no severe surgical complication.No death or reoperation occurred during follow up period.Conclusion Aortic coarctation associated type B aortic dissection is a rare and complex disease.Surgical treatment is an effective and safe method for the disease.

This study was aimed to explore the relationship between atrophic lung disease and modern medicine diseases through the study of experiences of modern famous doctors of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) in the treatment of atrophic lung disease. Literatures which met the inclusion criteria were retrieved from the existing Lung Disease Database of Modern Famous Doctors of Chinese Medicineand Lung Disease Database of Journals for the establishment ofLiterature Research Database of Experience of Modern Famous Doctors of Chinese Medicine in Treating Atrophic Lung Disease. The SPSS 19.0 software was used in the statistical analysis. The results showed that atrophic lung disease can be interstitial lung disease, atelectasis, pneumonia, primary bronchogenic carcinoma, bronchiectasis, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis and pneumothorax in modern medicine. Among them, interstitial lung disease was the most common one. It was concluded that atrophic lung disease can be the outcome of many types of lung diseases. The relationship between atrophic lung disease and modern medicine diseases should require further studies by experts to confirm.

Objective The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the reoperation is the risk factor for mortality after Sun's procedure(Total aortic arch replacement + frozen elephant trunk) for Stanford type A aortic dissection involving aortic arch.Methods Between February 2009 to February 2012,data from 383 patients who underwent Sun's procedure for Stanford type A aortic dissection involving aortic arch were collected retrospectively.35 patients had history of cardiac surgery.Of these patients,16 patients had underwent Bentall procedure,7 patients ascending aortic replacement,4 patients Wheat surgery,4 patients aortic valve replacement,2 patents Bentall combined with mitral valve replacement or plasty,1 patient bivalve replacement,1 patient atrial septal defect repair,1 patient coronary artery surgery.All the risk factors related to mortality were analyzed by univariate statistical analysis.Significant univariate variables were entered into multiple logistic analysis.Results Total 31 patients died in the hospital and the mortality was 8.07％.Of the 35 patients with history of cardiac surgery,3 patients died and the mortality was 8.33％.Univariate analysis showed that symptom onset before surgery less than 1 week,preoperative limb ischemia,combining with coronary artery surgery and cardiopulmonary bypass time longer than 300 minutes in the operative were risk factors for mortality.After these factors were entered into multiple logistic regression analysis,the result showed that symptom onset before surgery less than 1 week (P =0.038,OR =2.43),cardiopulmonary bypass time longer than 300 minutes(PP ＜0.001,OR =12.05) were final independent risk factors for mortality.Reoperation was not the independent risk factor for mortality.The intensive care unit and mechanical ventilation length of reoperation group was (2.09 ± 1.89) days and(30.09 ±33.42) hours respectively,while that of primary group was(2.71 ±3.01) days (P =0.25) and(33.86 ±40.98) hours(P =0.61) respectively.The incidence of postoperative bleeding of reoperation group was 3.03％,while that of primary group was 1.88％ (P =0.50).Conclusion Reoperation was not the independent risk factor for mortality after Sun's procedure for Stanford type A aortic dissection involving aortic arch and the morbidity was also not higher than primary surgery.For these patients,sun' s procedure should be advocated.

Objective To analyze the short-term results of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR)for patients with acute type B aortic dissection and chronic renal insufficiency (CRI ).Methods Between February 2009 and December 2012,EVAR was performed in 30 patients with acute type B aortic dissection and CRI (CRI group).Consecutive 30 patients with acute type B aortic dissection whose renal function was normal during the same period was chosen as the control group (non-CRI group).All patients were within 14 days after onset,in which Marfan syndrome was excluded and diagnosis made by computed tomographic angiography (CTA) before the procedure.In 57 patients,EVAR was performed under looal anesthesia and associated procedures included insertion of a chimney stent in the left subclavian artery in 2 case and a bare metal stent in the renl artery in 2,In 3 patients,EVAR was done following right axillary artery-to-left axillary and left subclavian artery bypass with a Y-shaped graft under general anesthesia.Follow-up regimen included renal function and CTA at I month and 1 year postoperatively.Results Compared to the non-CRI group,patients in the CRI grup was significantly younger [ (44.7±13.2) years versus (53.7±16.2)years,P ＜0.05)and had a higher rate of perioperative complications (cerebrospinal ischemia,deterioration of renal dysfunction,and gastroenteral dysfunction) (16.7％ versus 3.3％,P ＜0.05 ),all of which resolved after surgical or medical treatment.One patient in CRI group was readmitted at 6 months for a redo EVAR to treat a new tear distal to the stent.At 1 month and I year postoperatively,no patients suffered from deterioration ofthe renal function,and their CTAs detected no apparent device deformation,alteration and endoleak,with remsrkable improvement in the blood supply of the aortic trie lumen and branches.Conchusion Satisfactory short-term results can be achieved with EVAR for patients with acute type B aortic dissection and CRI.At I month and 1 year postoperatively,no mortality or morbidity occumed such as endoleak,aortic rupture,neurologic and abdominal ischermia.

Objective To summarized the experience of simultaneous aortic operation and coroanry artery bypass graft (CABG).Methods Ninety seven patients who underwent combined aortic operation and CABG were reviewed from January 2009 to December 2011.All patients are divided into four groups according to etiology,63 aortic aneurysm,other 25 aortic dissection,7 coarctation of aorta or occlusion of main branch,and the other two aortic ulcer.Mean age of all patients is(57.6 ±9.5) years.The rate of preoperational diagnosis of coronary disease (CAD) were respectively 93.7％ (59/63),40.0％(10/25),100.0％,100.0％.The patients made the preoperative diagnosis of CAD were performed selective simultaneous CABG with aortic procedures.The others without diagnosis of CAD had to receive urgent CABG during the aortic procedures.Results The aortic procedures with simultaneous urgent CABG had signilicant higher mortality than with selective CABG,16.7％,3.8％,Fisher's exact test P =0.078.Conclusion Selective simultaneous CABG with aortic procedures is safely.In aortic surgery,patients with risk factors of CAD should undergo preoperative coronary artery angiography or spiral computed tomography.
