Objective To observe the changes of the glycolipid and coronary artery lesions in coronary artery disease patients with isolated post-challenge hyperglycaemia (IPH). Methods Hospitalized coronary artery disease patients diagnosed by coronary angiography were received oral glucose tolerance test. The labarotary test datas, including blood hematochrome, fasting and post-challenge plasma glucose levels, plasma lipid and insulin levels, were recorded. The number of diseased coronary artery and coronary lesion scores were calculated according to coronary angiogram for each patient. Continuous 77 patients with normal glucose metabolism(normal glucose metabolism group) and 104 patients with IPH (IPH group) entered the study. Results The occurrence of hypertension, acute coronary syndrome, multivessel coronary disease, revascularization were 84.6%(88/104), 82.7%(86/104), 69.2%(72/104), 70.2%(73/104) in IPH group and 63.6%(49/77), 70.1%(54/77), 50.6%(39/77), 54.5%(42/77) in normal glucose metabolism group, and there were significant differences(χ2=3.985-10.583, all P<0.05). The body mass index, triglyceride, total cholesterol, fasting glucose, post-challenge glucose, hemoglobin A1c, fasting insulin, insulin resistance index, coronary lesion scores were (27.42±3.55) kg/m2,(2.18±1.53) mmol/L,(4.73 ± 1.00) mmol/L,(5.98 ± 0.92) mmol/L, (14.11 ± 1.94) mmol/L, (5.90 ± 0.78)%, (10.07 ± 6.13) mU/L, 2.617 ± 1.535, (41.35 ± 27.21) points in IPH group and (25.11 ± 3.40) kg/m2, (1.52 ± 0.85) mmol/L, (4.22 ± 1.02) mmol/L, (5.24±0.62) mmol/L, (6.49±1.07) mmol/L, (4.97±0.39)%, (7.72±4.28) mU/L,1.785±0.974, (33.36±23.36) points in normal glucose metabolism group, and there were significant differences(t=3.035-33.698, P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions Coronary artery disease patients with IPH have much more seriously abnormal glycolipid metabolism and complex coronary artery lesions, and need specialized nursing management.

Objective To observe the inhibition of asON phosphorothioate to the TIMP-1 gene and protein expression in the liver tissue of immune- induced hepatic fibrosis rats. Methods According to the analysis of modulator, structure protein, encoding sequence of TIMP-1 genome, we designed four different groups of asONs. These asONs were injected into the hepatic fibrosis rat models through coccygeal vein. The results were observed by RT-PCR, immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization with collagen Ⅰ、Ⅲ, special staining of collagen fiber, electron microscope. Results The asON phosphorothioate of TIMP-1 could be expressed in vivo, and could block the TIMP-1 gene and protein expression in the liver of immune- induced hepatic fibrosis rats on the level of mRNA, which could promote the degradation of collagen Ⅰ、Ⅲ(P

Objective To study the expression and distribution of TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 in liver tissue of cirrhosis patient and to investigate the roles and pathogenesis of TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 in liver cirrhosis. Methods TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 proteins and mRNA were detected with immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization methods using monoclonal antibodies and cDNA probes. Results mRNA and proteins of TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 were detected in all the liver tissues from 40 liver cirrhosis patients, all in cytoplasm but not nucleus. TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 were found co exist in all samples, while TIMP 1 concentration was higher. Conclusions mRNA and protein of TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 are found in all the cirrhosis patient samples. Liver TIMP 1 and TIMP 2 concentrations increase with the progression of liver cirrhosis, decrease the degradation of extracellular matrix proteins, resulting in the initiation and the development of liver fibrosis and liver cirrhosis.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of a new homemade device for percutaneous closure of secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) Methods Percutaneous closure of surgically created fossa ovalis ASD was attempted in 8 piglets The device was braided from Nitinol wires in the shape of two flat discs with a short connecting waist with a diameter corresponding to that of the defect to be closed Polyethylene filling was implanted to enhance thrombogenicity Pulmonary arteriography with levo phase was obtained before closure and immediately after closure Transthoracic echocardiography with color Doppler was used in all animals during closure and in follow up examinations The animals were killed at various intervals up to 6 months after occlusion for microscopic examination Results Successful placement of the device was achieved in all the 8 animals All ASDs were completely occluded in 1 month, observed by transthoracic echocardiography Postmortem gross and microscopic examination of the 8 specimens 1 to 6 months after placement showed complete or near complete fibrous neoendocardium coverage of both the right and left atrial discs Conclusion These observations show the feasibility of occlusion of secundum ASDs by the homemade device with the advantages of easy placement and repositionability in piglets

We used near-infrared spectroscopy technology to monitor and assess the treatment effect of dehydrating agent in injured rat brain in real time style. We employed the brain edema model in rats resulting from Feeney' s freefall damage, then treated with different doses of mannitol, and collected reduced scattering coefficient (p',) and intracranial pressure (ICP) values after the injury and during the treatment. The results showed that brain edema happened 1 h after the injury in rats' brain tissue, peaked around 72 h after injury, and then began to decrease gradually. The reduced scattering coefficient and ICP values of the treatment group injected with mannitol all decreased after administration. Compared with the effect of low-dose mannitol treatment, that of high-dose mannitol treatment was much better. The duration of the plateau was longer and most experiments results declined significantly. From this we conclude that the reduced scattering coefficient and ICP are consistent with the trend changes, and the reduced scattering coefficient could be used as an indicator for monitoring cerebral edema.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous closure for muscular ventricular septal defect(MVSD).Methods Fifty-one patients diagnosed as MVSD from October 2011 to July 2016 at Guangdong General Hospital were enrolled including 32 males and 19 females,ranging from 1 to 16 (5.12 ±3.52) years in age,weight (20.19 ± 10.55) kg.The diameter of the MVSD was (4.82 ± 2.51) mm which was measured by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE),and multiple defects were found in 10 patients.The choice of plugging device and transport system depended on the size,position and status of MVSD.TTE and left ventricular (LV) angiography were performed before and after release of the device to evaluate the therapeutic effects.Electrocardiogram and TTE were performed during follow-up period at 24 h,1 month,3 months,6 months and 12 months after operation and yearly thereafter.Results Eight cases showed no hemodynamic significance through standard catheter examination then the interventional therapy was stopped.Cardiac arrest was found in 1 case when the long sheath was transported along the track,and the procedure was terminated immediately,and the selective surgical operation was performed after successful rescue.The devices were successfully placed in the rest of 42 patients (97.6％) with operation time (90.68 ± 36.42) min and fluoroscopy time (18.67 ± 10.89) min.The average of follow-up time was (13.82 ± 13.84) months ranging from 1 to 48 months.It was found that mild residual shunts showed in 4 cases during operation,mild tricuspid regurgitation showed in 2 cases and trivial aortic regurgitation showed in 1 case at 6 months after operation,but there was no need to intervene anymore.Conclusions Percutaneous closure of MVSD in children is safe and effective with high successful rate and low incidence of complication.The middle-term follow-up findings were satisfactory.

Objective To explore the risk factors of surgical site infection(SSI)in patients undergoing selective brain tumor resection,and provide reference for clinical prevention and treatment.Methods Patients who under-went selective brain tumor resection in the neurosurgery department of a hospital during April-September 2013 and April-September 2014 were monitored prospectively,monitoring programme and individualized questionnaire were formulated,the basic data,operation condition,postoperative symptoms/signs,laboratory test results,infection-related factors,and antimicrobial use in patients were collected,risk factors for infection were analyzed.Results A total of 205 patients were investigated,23 (11 .22%)of whom had SSI;univariate analysis showed that body mass index (BMI),NNIS score,and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were related to the occurrence of SSI(all P<0.05);lo-gistic regression analysis showed that high NNIS score and cerebrospinal fluid leakage were independent risk factors for SSI in patients undergoing selective brain tumor resection(both P<0.05).Conclusion Incidence of SSI is high-er in patients with selective brain tumor resection,corresponding preventive measures should be taken according to different risk factors including cerebrospinal fluid leakage.

Objective To observe the intervention effects of fluid wax on the therapeutic course of patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction.Methods Two hundreds and eighty-eight patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction admitted into the Department of Gastrointestinal Surgery of Huzhou Central Hospital from December 2014 to June 2016 were enrolled, and they were divided into a fluid wax group and acontrol group by mechanical sampling method, each group 144 cases. The control group was treated with conventional comprehensive non-surgical treatment, in the fluid wax group, on the basis of the above conventional treatment, additionally after 2 hours of gastrointestinal decompression, the fluid wax 3 mL/kg was injected through a gastric tube that then was closed by a clip for 2 hours. The first exhaust and defecation times, the time for amelioration of abdominal pain, the time of gas-liquid flat disappearance, the length of stay in hospital, the rate of operation and the occurrence of adverse reactions were observed in the two groups.Results After treatment, the first exhaust time, the first defecation time, the time of relieving abdominal pain, the time of gas-liquid flat disappearance and the length of stay in hospital were significantly shorter in fluid wax group than those in control group [the first exhaust time (hours): 29.97±19.71 vs. 49.28±33.61, the first defecation time (hours): 60.25±28.37 vs.74.23±50.12, the time of relieving abdominal pain (hours): 35.78±20.98 vs. 51.83±25.02, the time of gas-liquid flat disappearance (hours): 71.60±39.50 vs. 90.98±57.91, the length of stay in hospital (days): 7.00±3.77 vs. 9.00±5.81, allP < 0.05], and the rate of operation in the fluid wax group was lower than that in the control group [18.75% (27/144) vs. 27.08% (39/144),P < 0.05]. No patients died in the two groups. In nearly 1 year follow-up, there were no adverse reactions associated with the study in the fluid wax group.Conclusion The intervention of fluid wax combined with conventional non-surgical methods can significantly shorten the disease course, reduce the rate of operation and the hospitalization time in patients with adhesive small bowel obstruction.

An experimental immunity hepatic fibrosis rat model was prepared by means of immunologic assault with human serum albumin, and normal rats served as a control group. The immunohistochemistry methods and in situ hybridization were respectively used to detect TIMP 2 mRNA and related antigens in the liver,and to investigate the localization and expression of TIMP 2 in the liver of both normal and experimental hepatic fibrosis rats. The results showed that TIMP 2 mRNA and related antigens in the livers of experimental group were expressed in myofibroblasts and fibroblasts, especially in the portal area and fibrous septum. The positive signal was located in the cytoplasm, but not in the nucleus. On the other hand, there was a high level of expression of TIMP 2 in the liver of the experimental group.It is suggested that in the process of hepatic fibrosis, fibroblasts and myofibroblasts are the major cells expressing TIMP 2. The severer the hepatic fibrosis in the injured liver is, the higher the levels of TIMP 2 related antigens and gene expression are.
