Objective To study the correlation of uterine segment thickness and time limits for patients with prior cesarean section. Methods A total of 80 women with the first pregnancy after cesarean section in our hospital from April 2013 to February 2015,according to the interval of cesarean section and second pregnancy,were divided into group A (18 cases,interval ≤3 years),group B (23 cases,an in-terval of 3 to 6 years),group C (27 cases,an interval of 7 to 9 years),and group D (12 cases,the interval ≥9 years).The uterine segment thickness and the success rate of vaginal trial production were compared.Surgical failures underwent vaginal trial production due to cesarean section were observed.Results The uterine segment thickness values of group A and group B in were respectively (5.93 ±0.34)mm and (5.45 ±0.27)mm,which were significantly higher than group C (3.24 ±0.52)mm and group D (2.83 ±0.56)mm,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).The vaginal trial production success rates of group A and group B were respectively 88.89% (16 /18) and 78.26% (18 /23),which were significantly higher than group C 44.44% (12 /27)and group D 33.33% (4 /12)(P <0.05).The dos-age of oxytocin of group A was (35.34 ±4.32)mL,blood loss was (256.32 ±34.21)mL, The oxytocin hormone dosage of group B was (37.09 ±4.52)mL,blood loss was (260.11 ±35.53)mL,which were lower than those in group C and group D (P <0.05).The postpartum hemorrhage rate of group A,group B and group C was respectively 0(0 /2),20.00% (1 /5),33.33% (5 /15)lower than group D 87.50%(7 /8)(P <0.05).Conclusion Maternal uterus at cesarean section within 7 years about the degree of recovery are in good condition,the higher uterine segment thickness,this time period is good for subsequent pregnancy and childbirth.

Objective To compare the clinical efficacy of Rivaroxaban and Warfarin in the treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis.Methods From January to December 2015,51 patients of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limb divided into.Warfarin group (21 cases) and Rivaroxaban group (30 cases).The time of each therapy lasted for 3 months or longer.The characteristics and the change of lower limb venous patency rate in two groups of patients were analyzed to evaluate the curative effect.Results Rivaroxaban group had shorter therapy time than Warfarin group.The lower limb venous patency rate in Rivaroxaban group were higher than that in Warfarin group (85.7％ vs.60％,P ＜0.05).Ultrasonography showed partial patency in 5 mixed thrombus patients of Warfarin group,while complete patency in 2 and partial patency in 3 of Rivaroxaban group.Normalized rate in peripheral venous thrombosis patients of Rivaroxaban group were higher than Warfarin group (84％ vs.25 ％ P ＜ 0.001).Conclusions Rivaraxaban is superior to Warfarin in the complete recanalization of DVT,while safe and reliable.

Objective To develop multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with reversedotblothy bridization (RDB) method for detection of DNA virus in respiratory samples,and provide a surveillance and rapid diagnosis tool of acute viral respiratory infection.Methods We designed multiple PCR primers and the probes referenced to virus nucleic acid sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database,and fixed specific oligonucleotide probes on the nylon membrane.After multiple PCR amplification of virus DNA of human bocavirus (hBOV),karolinska Institutet (KI),adenovirus (AdV),Washington University polyomaviros (WUPyV),and human parvovirus B19 (HPVBI9),the denaturalized amplification products were hybridized with various specific probes,followed by visualization and analysis of the results.The sensitivity and specificity were tested.At the same time,108 cases of clinical specimens of multiple PCR products were analyzed by reverse spot hybridization detection,and compared to the results of culture method.Results The specific probes of multiple PCR-RDB only hybridized with corresponding amplification products without cross-hybridization reaction with other pathogen.The sensitivity of RDB hybridization was 1 colony-forming units (CFU).The positive rate of 34.26％ (37 cases out of 108 cases) with PCR-RDB method was significandy higher than that 27.78％ (30 cases out of 108 cases) with common test method.Conclusions The multiplex PCR combined with RDB might become a rapid and simple method to detect the DNA virus in respiratory samples,which might be a promising tool for clinical application.

Objective To evaluate the extra-anatomic bypass surgery for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly. Methods From January 2005 to December 2008,33 elderly patients/39 limbs (age ranged from 70 to 87 years, mean 76.0 ± 3.0 years) with aortoiliac occlusive disease were retrospectively analyzed. According to Fontaine classification, there were 5 phase Ⅱ b cases (7 limbs), 22 phase Ⅲ cases (26 limbs), and 6 phase Ⅳ cases (6 limbs), all cases were with TASC C, D lesions. Results These 33 cases/39 limbs were tr eated with a variety of bypass, including axillobifemoral bypass (6 cases/12 limbs) ,axillofemoral bypass ( 20 cases/20 limbs ), femorofemoral bypass ( 7 cases/7 limbs ). Intermittent claudication improved in 5 cases, rest pain disappeared in 22 cases, and ulcers healed in 6 cases after operations. The mean ABI increased from 0.29 ± 0.11 to 0.66 ± 0.13 ( t = 2.69, P ＜ 0.05 ). All limbs were salvaged and there was no perioperative mortality within 30 days after operations. Postoperative complication rate was 9.1%. Patients were followed up for a median of 12 ±5 months (range, 6 to 28 months), primary patency rate was 89.7% (35/39), secondary patency rate was 94.9% (37/39), limb salvage rate was 92.3% (36/39). After dischargement the mortality was 6.1% (2/33) with one dying of myocardial infarction and another one of malignant tumor (gastric cancer). Conclusions Extra-anatomic bypass for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly is feasible, safe and effective, and the cardiopulmonary dysfunctions are the major risk factors for perioperative complications.

Objective To discuss the strategies of prevention and treatment for complications of endovascular therapy in aortoiliac artery occlusive disease.Methods 220 cases who received endovascular interventions with aortoiliac artery occlusive disease were retrospectively reviewed from June 2012 to June 2014.Among these patients,189 cases were males.The age was between 46 to 85yrs and the average age was 64yrs.Results The overall technique success rate was 97.2％.Nine procedure-related major complications requiring additional endovascular or surgical treatment were encountered in 7 patients including 2 acute in-stent thrombosis,1 iliac artery rupture,1 distal embolism,and 5 puncture associated complications (2 acute artery thrombosis,1 arteriovenous fistula,1 hematoma,1 artery dissection).8 cases improved after second endovascular or remedial open surgery,among those 4 cases were managed by endovascular interventions including 2 catheter directed thrombolysis,1 cover-stent implantation and 1 balloon-based angioplasty,4 patients received open surgery including 3 thrombectomies,1 hematoma cleating.After 22 months follow-up,the primary patency,assistant-primary patency and secondary patency was respectively 90.8％,92.1％ and 99.2％.Conclusions More attentions should be paid to the complications of endovascular therapy in aortoiliac artery occlusive disease.Helpful to prevent these complications are a comprehensive evaluation of the lesions,and individualized surgical plan prior to the operations,and a careful intraoperative management.

Objective To evaluate the result of revascularization for lower limb artery ischemia in elder patients. Method During Jan 2006 to Nov 2008, 262 elder patients (60 years old and up), underwent artery revascularization for lower limb arterial ischemia. Mortality, morbidity, primary patency, secondary patency and limb salvage were analyzed. Result There were a total of 323 ischemia limbs in those 262 elder patients undergoing revascalarization, among those 102 limbs underwent artery bypass, 98 limbs underwent endoluminal angioplasty with or without stenting, 67 limbs underwent embolectomy or endarterectomy, 56 limbs underwent open surgery combined with endoluminal treatment due to multiple segment lesions. Operation success rate was 94.7%. Two patients died within 30 days. Perioperative morbidity developed in 15 cases. 245 patients (93.5%) were followed-up from 1 month to 35 months. Mortality was 6.1% (15 cases), primary patency was 80.5%, secondary patency was 92.7% and limb salvage rate was 95.2%. Risk factors analysis showed that history of cardiac disease and elder ages were associated with higher mortality. Diabetes mellitus, critical ischemia and multiple segment lesions were associated with poor long term patency and limb salvage. Conclusion Lower limb ischemia is severe disease related to elder patients' death and amputation. Careful patient selection, detailed pre-operation work-up, meticulous operative technique play crucial roles for a successful arterial reconstruction.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of perioperative anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy of carotid endoarterectomy (CEA). Methods A retrospective study on 110 cases (122 CEAs) of carotid stenosis between Jan 2004 and Dec 2008 was undertaken. 122 cases were divided into anticoagulation group and antiplatelet group according to the perioperative medical treatment. Postoperative results of stroke/death and wound hemotoma were compared between the two groups and statistically analyzed. Results 45 CEAs were given perioperative combination of anticoagulation and antiplatelet treatment. This comprised the anticoagulation group. The antiplatelet group consisted of the other 77 CEAs which were treated with antiplatelet solely. Perioperative stroke/death rates were equivalent (2.2% anticoagulation vs. 2.6% antiplatelet, P =0.897). Wound hemotoma rates were found with statistical significant difference between the two groups (13.3% anticoagulation group vs. 1.3% antiplatelet group, P = 0. 006 ). Conclusion Our results suggest that perioperative antiplatelet therapy in perioperative carotid endoarterectomy does not increase perioperative stroke/death risk, while perioperative anticoagulation increases the risk of wound hematoma.

Objective To study the effect of CBT resection on blood pressure in essential hypertensive subjects.Methods Clinical data of 24 essential hypertensive patients (BP ＞ 140/90 mmHg or was using anti-hypertensive drugs) with CBT resection from May 2005 to March 2016 was analyzed,retrospectively.The heart rate,blood pressure were recorded continuously during the peri-operative and follow-up period.All of the patients were followed-up for at least 1 year.Results The systolic blood pressure(SBP) and pulse pressure (PP) decreased 1-3 months after the operation,and the difference was significant (P ＜ 0.001),while the diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) did not change significantly (P ＞ 0.05).Postoperative patients used less amount of antihypertensive drugs,but the difference was statistically not significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Unilateral CBT resection is associated with short-term to intermediate-term lowering of BP in hypertensive patients (P ＞ 0.05).

Objective:To summarize the surgical treatment of malignant carotid body tumor (MCBT).Methods:A retrospective analysis of 14 MCBT patients admitted at our hospital from Mar 2005 to Nov 2019 was made, and the imaging data, surgical records, perioperative complications and follow-up data were collected.Results:There were 8 males and 6 females, with an average age of (40.8±11.3) years. 10 patients underwent surgical resection of CBT, with one case undergoing tumor enucleation only, nine cases underwent internal carotid artery reconstruction, and all patients underwent intraoperative lymph node biopsy.Tumors were completely removed in all 10 patients. No perioperative death or cerebral infarction occurred. The intraoperative blood loss was (955±658.5) ml. Four patients had permanent nerve injury after surgery. The follow-up time ranged 1-132 months. There were no cases of cerebral infarction or death, and the reconstructed graft remained patent. Apart from the 2 patients who developed tumor metastasis after surgery, other patients recovered uneventfully with no disease progression.Conclusions:Surgery is still the main treatment for MCBT, but MCBT is large and Shamblin class is more advanced. Therefore, complete tumor removal and reconstruction of the carotid arteries are difficult. Surgery should seek to completely remove the tumor and neck lymph node biopsy should be performed to determine the lymph node metastasis.

Objective:To evaluate a surgical approach for partial resection of the tenth rib through a retroperitoneal approach for the exposure of Crawford type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and complex abdominal aortic aneurysm from 2014 to 2019.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on clinical data and follow-up results of 7 patients who underwent treatment for Crawford type IV thoracoabdominal aortic aneurysm and complex abdominal aortic aneurysm through partial resection of the tenth rib via a retroperitoneal approach.Results:One case (14.3%) had associated Marfan syndrome, and 5 cases (71.4%) underwent left renal artery reconstruction. None of the patients experienced severe complications such as cardiopulmonary complications or renal failure postoperatively, and there was no statistically significant difference in serum creatinine levels between preoperative and postoperative stages during hospitalization ( P=0.205). Follow-up examinations showed no long-term vascular stenosis. Conclusions:Partial resection of the tenth rib through a retroperitoneal approach can avoid incisions of the pleura and diaphragm. It allows for the exposure of the aorta below the diaphragm and has the ability to treat aortic diseases below the diaphragm with smaller incisions and lower complication risks.
