One case of secondary bleeding repeatedly after tonsillectomy. Secondary bleeding after tonsillectomy seldom happen to us. When the event occurs medical staff has to take effect way to control the bleeding immediately. Accumulated quantity of bleeding must be controlled to the lowest point as soon as possible. Other wise the bleeding may lead to death. This point should be considered by medical staff.

Objective To investigate the consequence of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in different diseases types and inquire into the prevention of its complications. Methods the DSA results of 65 cases with cerebrovascular disease were analyzed and the relationship were observed between symptom and cerebrovascular pathology, the complications intra and after operation as well. Results Among the 65 DSA examinations, intracranial or extracraniai vascular abnormality were found in 58 cases, the positive detection rate was 89. 23% . Several subsequent coplications such as 1 case puncture site hematoma,l case angiospasm,l case epileptic attack and 1 case cerebellum infarction were observed . Conclusions DSA examination can assist in diagnosing cerebrovascular disease,it is a traumatic but reliable examination method.

Objective To evaluate the effects of laparoscopic filling with pedicled greater retina for hepatic cysts. Methods Clinical data were reviewed on 36 patients with hepatic cysts undergoing laparoscopic filling with pedicled greater retina from January 2010 to May 2014.The diameters of cysts ranged from 10 to 26 cm, with a diameter smaller than 20 cm in 29 patients and bigger than 20 cm in 7 patients.Laparoscopic fenestration of hepatic cysts was performed to destroy cyst cells with iodine and absolute alcohol. Pedicled greater retina was used for filling the cavity of cysts. Results The procedures were completed smoothly.The operative time was 45-115 min, with an average of (80.4 ±13.1) min.No abdominal cavity infection happened.Primary healing of abdominal incision was achieved in all the patients.The postoperative hospital stay was 5-10 d, with an average of (6.4 ±1.2) d.All the 36 patients were followed up for 6-12 months with a mean of (9.3 ±1.5) months.None of the patients showed recurrence under liver B-ultrasonography or CT scanning. Conclusion Laparoscopic filling with pedicled greater retina for hepatic cysts has advantages of minimal invasion, quick postoperative recovery, short hospital stay, and good results.

Objective To investigate the multi-organ lesions and the occurrence of coronary aneurysms in children with Kawasaki disease(KD).Methods 92 pediatric inpatients with KD were enrolled and studied.The organs involved and coronary aneurysms(CAA)were determined by checking blood routine,urine routine,stool routine,chest X-ray,electrokardiogram,liver function,echocardiogram,and clinical manifestation.Results The incidence of various organs involved in 92 patients with KD:heart 71.7%;lung 37.0%;liver 34.8%;brain 12.0%;kidney 18.5%;gastrointestinal tract 15.2%;spleen 2.2%;gallbladder 1.1%;joints 9.8%.In addition,the rate of two organs involved simultaneously was 40.2%,three and more 34.8%.The incidence of CAA in brain lesion,joints lesion and pericardial effusion complications of KD was 45.5%,44.4%,and 41.7%,respectively.Conclusions The data shows that the incidence of heart involvement in the sick-children with KD is highest,and other organs,such as lung,liver,kidney,gastrointestinal tract,brain and joints are involved in turn.The incidence of 2 and more organs involved simultaneously amounts to75.0%.CAA is the most serious complication of KD.Our study suggests that the incidence of CAA is obviously high in these lesions of brain,joints and pericardial effusion involvement in KD.

Sarcomas are tumors of mesenchymal origin that account for approximately 1%of human cancers. There are at least 60 dif-ferent subtypes of soft tissue sarcoma (STS). However, most tumor types are highly malignant tumors that lack an optimal therapeutic agent. Although gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST) responds well to imatinib, other types of STSs remain challenging because of their heterogeneous genetic and clinical features and poor prognosis. In recent years, the field of molecular targeted therapy has pro-gressed rapidly. Patients with advanced disease can receive individualized treatment to improve their quality of life. This review focus-es on the targeted therapies that have been evaluated for advanced non-GIST STS. Other promising novel therapeutic agents that are currently in the early phases of investigation are also presented.

Objective To investigate the relationship of body mass index with hiatal hernia (HH) and reflux esophagitis (RE).Methods Two hundreds and twenty seven gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) patients with typical acid regurgitation and heartburn were enrolled and categorized into three groups according to body mass index (BMI, kg/m2) as normal weight (18.5≤BMI ＜24), overweight (24≤BMI＜28), and obesity (BMI≥28).RE, non-erosive reflux disease (NERD) and HH were diagnosed by gastroscopy.All the patients underwent ambulatory 24-hour pH monitoring and the pathological acid reflux was considered when the DeMeester score≥15.Effects of BMI on RE and HH were estimated by using logistic regression analysis.Results The percentages of RE and HH were 30.0%(68/227) and 5.7%(13/227), respectively.76.9% (10/13) HH patients had RE. Proportions of RE and HH increased significantly with increasing BMI (P＜0.05), so was that of RE above grade B in three groups (6.4%, 16.9% and 31.6%,P=0.003).DeMeester scores of the three groups were 15.9, 19.8 and 36.9, respectively (P＜0.05).The average 24-hour intra-esophagus pH value of overweight group, was significantly lower than that of normal weight patients in the afternoon and midnight (P＜0.01).Multivariate analysis showed obesity was a risk factor for HH with OR 7.058 (95% CI: 1.294～38.488, P=0.024), male (OR: 2.537, 95% CI: 1.350～4.766, P=0.004), overweight (OR: 1.921, 95% CI: 1.005～3.670, P=0.048), obesity (OR: 3.305, 95% CI: 1.123～9.724, P=0.030) and HH (OR: 6.879, 95% CI: 1.695～27.913, P=0.007) were risk factors for RE.Conclusion BMI has a significant association with HH and RE, obesity is a common risk factor for both HH and RE, HH may induce the development of RE.

Hepatic nodules in patients with Budd-Chiari syndrome (B-CS) are identified in clinical work and the differentiating diagnosis is very important for making the treatment strategy.Most B-CS patients with hepatic nodules have nonspecific clinical manifestations.Ultrasonography,computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are often used for differentiating diagnosis.According to the results of retrospective study on clinical and imaging data of 51 B-CS patients with hepatic nodules,we draw a conclusion that the differentiating diagnosis of hepatic nodules in patients with B-CS depends on imaging characteristics.Different treatment strategies are adopted according to the comprehensive analysis of these imaging data and satisfactory results can be achieved.

Objective To compare the myocardial protective effect between off pump coronary artery bypass(OPCAB) and on pump coronary artery bypass in the aged. Methods Four five patients were randomly divided into 3 groups:off pump coronary artery bypass (n=15),tepid blood cardioplegia group(n=15) and cold blood cardioplegia group (n=15).There was no statistical difference in heart function,sex,age and lesion of coronary artery .Venous blood samples were taken for determineing the serum concentration of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme(CK MB),troponin I perioperatively and the clinical situations were observed postoperatively. Results CK MB,troponin I release in beating group during and after bypass was lower than that in on pump groups( P

This study is to establish physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) models of famitinib in rat and monkey, and then to predict the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of famitinib in human based on the PBPK models. According to published paper, previous studies and the chemical properties of famitinib predicted by ACD/ADME suite and SimCYP, the PBPK models of rat and monkey were established and optimized using GastroPlus. And then, the PBPK models were applied to predict the pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution of famitinib in human. The results showed that the PBPK models of rat and monkey can fit the observed data well, and the AUC0-∞, ratios of observed and calculated data in rat and monkey were 1.00 and 0.97, respectively. The AUC0-∞, ratios of observed and predicted data in human were 1.63 (rat to human) and 1.57 (monkey to human), respectively. The rat and monkey PBPK models of famitinib were well established, and the PBPK models were applied in predicting pharmacokinetic of famitinib in human successfully. Hence, the PBPK model of famitinib in human could be applied in future drug-drug interaction study.
