BACKGROUND: There is yet no evidence about whether internal carotid artery stenting with cerebral protection devices is beneficial to reducing neurological complications. OBJECTIVE: To explore the safety and efficacy of carotid angioplasty and stenting with cerebral protection devices for carotid stenosis. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Non-randomized concurrent control trial was performed at Hospital Affiliated to Medical College of Chinese People’s Armed Police Force from June 2005 to January 2007. PARTICIPANTS: Seventy-four patients with carotid artery stenosis underwent stenting, including 21 with cerebral protection devices (16 males and 5 females; average age of 66.4 years, range 50-79 years), and 53 with no protection devices (36 males and 17 females; average age of 69.2 years, range 52-83 years). METHODS: Size of cerebral protection devices was confirmed according to the diameter of normal vessel at distal carotid artery stenosis. The guide wire was sent into distal stenosis under guidance of pathway picture followed by cerebral protection device release. The stent passed over the stenosis and released to appropriate site. The protection device was removed when the stenosis was relieved confirmed by routine angiography. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Features of stenting process; frequency of stroke attack perioperatively and during 12-month follow-up. All of them took periprocedual anticoagulation treatment, cerebral vascular angiograpgy. RESULTS: Seventy-six self-expandable stents were delivered in 74 patients with carotid stenosis. Twenty-one cerebral protection devices were employed including 8 Angioguard and 13 Filterwire. The patients without cerebral protection devices were predilated 20 times (37.7%) with the balloons, and all were postdilated; 3 cases (5.6%) developed brief decreased heart rate and hypotension after stent release. The patients with cerebral protection devices were predilated 6 times (28.5%) with balloons, and all were postdilated; 2 cased (9.5%) developed brief decreased heart rate and hypotension after stent release and 2 (9.5%) developed angiospasm. One patient (4.7%) with cerebral protection devices had cerebral infarction (4.7%) perioperatively and another had cerebral infarction (4.7%) during the follow up. While four patients in the group without cerebral protection devices had cerebral infarction (7.5%) perioperatively, and five had cerebral infarction (9.4%) during the follow up. There were no significant differences between two groups. CONCLUSION: The results of the study show that cerebral protection devices are not helpful to reduce neurological complications in patients with carotid artery stenosis after stenting.

Objective To investigate the effects of high glucose on the proliferation of hepatic stellate cell-T6(HSC-T6) and the expressions of transformation growth factor-?1(TGF-?1),platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) and precollagen Ⅲ(PCⅢ).Methods Based on glucose groups of different concentration,we observed the proliferation of HSC in 30min-16h time period,and used the methods of immunohistochemistry and radioimmunoassay to measure the expressions of TGF-?1,PDGF and PCⅢ in the supernatant at 48h and 72h.Results In 2-16h time period,the proliferation of HSC was increased stepwise over time in 1500-6000mg/L group,and was more visible in 4500-6000mg/L group.The expressions of TGF-?1 and PDGF increased at 48h,and the expression of PCⅢ in the supernatant increased at 72h in 4500-6000mg/L group compared with that in glucose control and hypertonic control groups.Conclusion High glucose can promote hepatic fibrosis by stimulating the expressions of TGF-?1,PDGF and PCⅢ in HSC-T6.

The values which had obtained after the all-round intervention were 46.26?3.28, 36.12?26.23, 28.16?5.23 and 26.12 ?10.66 respectively, there were significant differences between them,P

Objective To find an ideal method of DNA isolation from blood and especially from clotted blood and to minimize the volume of blood collected for laboratory and clinical tests.Methods DNAs were isolated from antiagglutinated and agglutinated blood samples from auricular veins of 30 healthy subjects. The DNAs of these samples were obtained by a nonenzymatic, nontoxic procedure optimized by us and determinated by agarose gel electrophoesis and PCR. Results The yields of DNA isolated from clotted blood and antiagglutinated blood were (40.2?8.86)mg DNA/L and (39.1?10.2)mg DNA/L, and purities were 1.87?0.11 and 1.92? 0.12. The DNAs that we isolated from all samples had high molecular weight and by PCR the dimorphism of ALU alleles of the 8th intron of t-PA was easy to be obtained, so they were complete and reliable. Conclusion This method is rapid, easy, efficient and nontoxic for isolation of DNA from clotted and fresh blood and meets requirements for clinical testing and molecular biology study.

Objective To quantitatively evaluate the left ventricular systolic synchrony in patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography (RT-3DE). Methods Thirty patients with CRF and twenty-five normal subjects were enrolled in this study.The M-mode ejection fraction (M-EF), left ventricular end diastolic internal diameter (LVIDd), interventricular septum diameter (IVSd), left ventricular posterior wall diameter (LVPWd) were obtained on two-dimension. The global and regional volume-time curves were obtained on three -dimensional. The end diastolic volume (LVEDV),end systolic volume (LVESV) and ejection fraction (LVEF) of left ventricule, the time to minimal systolic volume (Tmsv) of 16,12,6-segmental standard deviation (Tmsv16, 12, 6-SD), maximal difference (Tmsv16, 12, 6-Dif) were derived from Qlab software . The above parameters as a percentage of the cardiac cycle with different heart rates between patients were also calculated from the Qlab software, which were Tmsv16, 12, 6-SD% and Tmsv16, 12, 6-Dif %, rspectively. Results The indices of HR, LVIDd, IVSd, LVPWd and LVESV were significantly higher while LVEF was significantly lower in the CRF group than those of the control group (P<0.05 or P<0.01); The indices of systolic asynchrony of Tmsv16,12-SD%, Tmsv16,12-Dif, Tmsv16 ,12 ,6-SD/R-R%,Tmsv16,12,6-Dif/R-R% were significantly larger in the CRF group than those of the control group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions RT-3DE provides a simple, intuitional and noninvasive approach to assess the systolic synchrony of all the LV segments simultaneously and LVEF in patients with chronic renal failure.

Objective By reviewing the relevant literature, we explored the current status and problems of the evaluation of the training effectiveness, and put forward the corresponding countermeasures, in order to provide a theoretical basis for the effect evaluation of nurse training in China. Methods By searching Citation online search and integration system (CITE), the Chinese biomedical literature service system (CBM), we included the literatures on the effect evaluation of the nurses training in the core journals from January 2006 to November 2015. Retrieval literatures were imported the bibliographic management software Note express by database. The corresponding field were analyzed in the literature′s age distribution, evaluation object, evaluation model, evaluation method, evaluation index and evaluation tool, et al. Results There were 343 literatures had retrieved, the total number of literatures presented a increasing tendency. The evaluation methods, evaluation tools and evaluation indicators presented a tendency of diversity, and the evaluation model was relatively single. Only 16 (4.7%) literatures tried to construct the training effect evaluation system of nurses, which was not based on some theory or hypothesis, which had not been effectively put into practice. Conclusion The effect evaluation system of nurse training needed to be done in depth, such as reconstruction of the new training evaluation model, the establishment of training evaluation system of different professional, different levels, different positions, to research evaluation methods, evaluation criteria and clinical practice testing, to design, training evaluation management software etc.
