Objective To study hyperbaric oxygen on left ventricular ejection fraction preserved by the influence of left ventricular remodeling in patients with heart failure. Methods A total of 110 patients with heart failure and normal ejection fraction were randomly allocated into the control group (n=55) and the HBO group (n=55). The control group were given the routine therapy, the HBO group were treated with hyperbaric oxygen on the basis of conventional drug. The application of color doppler ultrasound before and after treatment for 3 months left ventricular structure indicators. Results Left ventricular structure indicators were significantly decreased (LVDd、IVSD、LVPWD、LVMI)(P<0.01). Compared with the control group the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Follow-up of 3 months, The treatment group composite cardiovascular events was fewer than the control group and had significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusion Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can significantly improve left ventricular ejection fraction preserved by heart failure of left ventricular diastolic and systolic function and reverse left ventricular remodeling,And can reduce the happening of cardiovascular events.

Objective To study the effects of hyperbaric oxygen on the diastolic heart failure in hypertensive patients. Methods 60 hypertensive patients with diastolic heart failure were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. Conventional therapies were given to patients of both groups. In addition, hyperbaric oxygen therapy was applied to those of treatment group. After 3 months, Doppler ultrasound recordings were obtained from all patients to determine the left ventricular diastolic function. Results The indexes of left ventricular diastolic function were im-proved after treatment in both groups(P < 0.01) ,and treatment group was better than control group(P < 0. 05). Conclusion For hypertensive patients with diastolic heart failure, hyperbaric oxygen can improve heart diastolic function.

Objective:To explore the effect of modified Simiao Yong'an Decoction combined with conventional western medicine on lower limb hemodynamics in patients with low-risk diabetes foot (DF).Methods:This retrospective cohort study included 70 patients with infectious diabetic foot, between January 2015 and May 2019, and they were divided into control group and study group, with 35 in each group. The control group was treated with conventional western medicine, while the study group was treated with modified Simiao Yong'an Decoction on the basis of the control group. Both groups were treated for 4 weeks and followed up for 1 year. The levels of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and VEGF were detected by ELISA, the levels of blood viscosity, fibrinogen and HbAlc were detected by automatic hemorheological analyzer, the dorsal artery of foot was detected by color Doppler ultrasound, the diameter and blood flow velocity of dorsal artery of foot were recorded, and the conduction velocity of sural nerve and common peroneal nerve were detected by electromyography for recurrence rate calculation. And the clinical response rates were evaluated.Results:The total clinical response rate was 94.3% (33/35) in the study group and 77.1% (27/35) in the control group, and there was significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=4.20, P=0.040). After treatment, the bFGF [(177.15±7.96)ng/L vs. (158.87±7.21)ng/L, t=10.00], VEGF[(53.77±4.15)ng/L vs. (45.44±4.92)ng/L, t=7.66] levels in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.01). After treatment, the whole blood viscosity [(3.84±0.86)mPa?s vs. (4.56±0.99)mPa?s, t=3.25], fibrinogen [(3.59±0.78) g/L vs.(4.23±0.97)g/L, t=3.04]and HbAlc[(9.61±1.31)% vs. (10.85±1.82)%, t=3.27] levels in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( P<0.01). After treatment, the sural nerve conduction velocity [(39.42±5.11)m/s vs. (34.22±4.52)m/s, t=4.51], common peroneal nerve conduction velocity [(40.94±4.22)m/s vs. (35.52±3.72)m/s, t=5.70], blood vessel diameter [(2.21±0.60)mm vs. (1.92±0.52)mm, t=2.16], while the blood flow velocity [(55.89±5.84)cm/s vs. (52.95±5.85)cm/s, t=2.10] in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). During the follow-up, the recurrence rate was 21.21% (7/33) in the study group and 29.63% (8/27) in the control group. with out statistical significance between the two groups ( χ2=0.20, P=0.653). Conclusion:Modified Simiao Yong'an Decoction combined with conventional western medicine can improve lower limb blood circulation and nerve conduction velocity of low-risk DF patients, promote rehabilitation and reduce recurrence.

Objective To systematically evaluate the risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Methods CNKI, Wangfang Data, VIP, CBM, PubMed, EMbase, The Cochrane Library were searched from inception to January 2021 to collect case-control studies, cohort studies and cross-sectional studies about risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Two researchers independently conducted literature screening, data extraction and quality assessment. RevMan 5.3 software and Stata 15.0 software were used for meta-analysis. Results A total of 20 articles were included, covering 5 409 patients of esophageal cancer. The quality score of included studies was 6-8 points. Meta-analysis results showed that age (MD=1.99, 95%CI 0.10 to 3.88, P=0.04), age≥60 years (OR=2.68, 95%CI 1.46 to 4.91, P=0.001), smoking history (OR=2.41, 95%CI 1.77 to 3.28, P<0.001), diabetes (OR=2.30, 95%CI 1.90 to 2.77, P<0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR=3.69, 95%CI 2.09 to 6.52, P<0.001), pulmonary disease (OR=2.22, 95%CI 1.16 to 4.26, P=0.02), thoracotomy (OR=1.77, 95%CI 1.32 to 2.37, P<0.001), operation time (MD=14.08, 95%CI 9.64 to 18.52, P<0.001), operation time>4 h (OR=3.09, 95%CI 1.46 to 6.55, P=0.003), single lung ventilation (OR=3.46, 95%CI 1.61 to 7.44, P=0.001), recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (OR=5.66, 95%CI 1.63 to 19.71, P=0.006), and no use of patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) (OR=2.81, 95%CI 1.71 to 4.61, P<0.001) were risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Conclusion The existing evidence shows that age, age≥60 years, smoking history, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, pulmonary disease, thoracotomy, operation time, operation time>4 h, single lung ventilation, recurrent laryngeal nerve injury, and no use of PCEA are risk factors for postoperative pulmonary infection in patients with esophageal cancer. Due to the limitation of the quantity and quality of included literature, the conclusion of this study still needs to be confirmed by more high-quality studies.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical features of nodular histiocytic/mesothelial hyperplasia (NHMH) and to improve the knowledge of this disease.
METHODSSeven cases of NHMH were collected and the clinicopathologic and immunohistochemical data were analyzed with review of the literature.
RESULTSSeven male patients aged from 1.5 to 5.0 years (mean 2.8). The main clinical symptom was an inguinal mass.Grossly, main pathological changes were the mural nodule or free nodule in lumen, with diameter of 0.1-0.5 cm.Histologically, the tumor cell morphology was relatively single, cohesive polygonal or oval cells which were arranged in solid sheets or nests, usually with ovoid or deeply grooved nuclei and a moderate amount of pale pink cytoplasm in the nodular collection area. The nuclei had delicate chromatin and no obvious atypia, and mitosis was incidentally found. A few scattered lymphocytes were found in the stroma. The cyst wall was lined by a single layer of mesothelial cells.Immunohistochemically, the most cells in nodular lesion were strongly positive for the histiocytic marker CD68, vimentin and α1-antichymotrypsin, while lining mesothelial cells on the wall were positive for calretinin, MC, WT1, CK5/6, CKpan and EMA.
CONCLUSIONSNHMH is a rare and benign tumor-like lesion, and easy to be misdiagnozed, which should be distinguished from neuroendocrine tumors, Langerhans cell histiocytosis, seminoma, mesothelioma and so on. The correct diagnosis of this lesion depends on the clinical characteristics, morphology and immunohistochemistry.
