Objective To evaluate the effects of preoperative continued dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) with aspirin and clopidogrel on early outcomes in patients underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG). Methods A single-center study was conducted. The 279 unstable angina patients underwent first-time isolated OPCABG at our institution from January 2015 to May 2016 were divided into DAPT group (preoperative aspirin 100 mg/d and clopidogrel 75 mg/d were given until the time of surgery, n=148) and control group (stopped DAPT for 5 days before surgery, n=131). The total chest-tube output, blood-product transfusion requirements, re-exploration rate for bleeding, major adverse cardiac events (MACE) and other in-hospital outcomes were collected and compared between the two groups. Results There were no significant differences in demographic and preoperative clinical characteristics between the two groups. The total chest-tube drainage volume and perioperative transfusion requirements (rate and volume) including red blood cell, fresh plasma and platelets were statistically higher in the continued DAPT group than those of control group (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in hemostatic re-exploration rate, length of operation, postoperative nonfatal myocardial infarction, ICU stay, ventilation time and duration of postoperative hospitalization between the two groups. Stroke and other severe outside chest bleeding and all-cause mortality were not observed in both groups during the postoperative period and prior to discharge. Conclusion Preoperative continued DAPT is associated with the increased chest-tube drainage and higher blood-product transfusion requirements but it does not increase the dection rate of thoracotomy because of bleeding. This antiplatelet strategy does not alter other investigated outcomes in primary isolated OPCABG patients. The preoperative DAPT may be able to be safely continued in patients referred for primary isolated OPCABG.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation and conventional mechanical ventilation in the treatment of neonatal respiratory failure (NICU).Methods 68 cases of neonatal respiratory failure in our hospital from June, 2014 to June, 2016 in neonatal intensive care unit, according to the random number table method were divided into two groups: The observation group involved 34 patients with nasal continuous positive airway pressure, the control group 34 patients with conventional mechanical ventilation treatment.The changes of arterial blood gas analysis, clinical effect and complication were compared between the two groups.Results The PCO2 of the two groups was significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the observation group was higher than the control group (P<0.05).There was no significant difference in PO2 between the two groups (P>0.05).However, pH value was significantly increased, and the observation group was smaller than the control group (P<0.05).The total effective rate was 94.12% in the observation group and 67.65% in the control group (P<0.05).The time of ventilation and incidence of comorbidities in the observation group was significantly shorter than that in the control group (P<0.05).Conclusion Nasal continuous positive airway pressure ventilation for treatment of neonatal respiratory failure can more significantly improve the efficacy than conventional mechanical ventilation, shorten the time on the machine and reduce the relevant complications.So it is worth promoting.

Purpose The aim is to establish a simple method to extract superoxide dismutase(SOD) from pig blood red cells.Methods A combined method-microwave heating and adding Cu2+ into the suspension-was used to extract SOD from the red cells. Results The undesired proteins were denatured by microwave heating and SOD was partly purificated in comparison with hemolysis. The processing time of the former was much shorter than the latter. Conclusion A novel cell disruption microwave heating, was a rapid and effective technique for the primary extraction of SOD.

BACKGROUND:Radial head re-dislocation is one of the alarming complications of old Monteggia fracture. Many treatment methods have described the necessary of fracture and annual ligament reconstruction during treatment, but stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To emphasize the practicality of annular ligament reconstruction through comparing the children’s treatment in two groups.
METHODS:Twelve patients with children’s old Monteggia fracture were included for retrospective analysis. Al the patients were treated with radial head open reduction and internal fixation. Among them, five cases received ulna extending osteotomy and annual ligament reconstruction, and seven cases received ulna extending
osteotomy without annual ligament reconstruction. The course was 3-18 months from damage to the clinical
manifestations (an average of 9 months). Ten cases with Bado type Ⅰ and two cases were Bado type Ⅱ andⅢ. The reliability of ligament reconstruction was evaluated before and after treatment with Kim standard.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the 12 cases were fol owed-up for 22 months (8-26 months). Evaluation
according to the Kim standard after treatment showed excel ent in 10 cases without abnormalities and pain, the range of motion>250 °, and no elbow was limited, the activities of daily living was 25 points;good in two cases with mild deformity and mild or intermittent pain, the range of motion was 200°-250° with elbow limited, activities of daily living was 15 points;no poor (serious deformity, pain, range of motion<200°, elbow severely limited, activities of daily living was 0 points). Fol owed-up lasted for 22 months and found that the average healing time of ulnar
osteotomy was 8 weeks (6-14 weeks). The wounds were healed primarily without infection and nonunion. The
results indicate that ulna extending osteotomy has great significance in keeping stability of radial head, and annular ligament reconstruction is determined by the time of injury, surgical procedures and intraoperative radial head stability.

Objective To study the changes of IL 2 and IL 6 levels and lymphocyte DNA damage in peripheral blood of dog intoxicated by sulfur mustard. Methods Chongqing dogs were subcutaneously injected with sulfur mustard at the dose of 16 mg/kg. Lymphocytes and serum were isolated from dog peripheral blood at different time points as designed. The IL 2 and IL 6 levels in blood serum were measured by radioimmunoassay and lymphocyte DNA damage represented as comet tail length was determined by single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE). Results Four hours after administration of sulfur mustard, the serum IL 2 and IL 6 levels dogs injected with sulfur mustard decreased and reached the lowest level at 72 h. A significant recovery was found at the time point of 120 h. SCG revealed sulfur mustard induced DNA fragmentation (comet) in dog peripheral lymphocytes. The rate of the damaged lymphocytes and the degree of DNA fragment migration began to increase at 4 h and progressively increased from 24 h to 72 h after sulfur mustard treatment. Conclusion Sulfur mustard intoxication induces early and long lasting decreases in serum IL 2 and IL 6 levels and lymphocyte DNA fragmentation in dog peripheral blood.

AIM: To investigate the effects of simvastatin on myocardial fibrosis and connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) in renovascular hypertensive rats. METHODS: The experimental rats were randomly divided into three groups, such as sham operation group rats, hyperpiesia rats and hyperpiesia rats treated with simvastatin (5 mg㎏kg -1 ?d -1 ). Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured and collagen concentration (Coll) was also detected in terms of hydroxyproline concentration. VanGieson and immunohistochemistry staining combined with computed morphometry were used to evaluate the total collagen volume fraction (CVF) and CTGF expression in left ventricular tissue. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group rats, the SBP,CVF, Coll and CTGF expression increased markedly in hyperpiesia rats (P
