0.05). Follow-up of 14 patients was from 1 to 60 months (the mean value is 26. 8 months). There was no late death and re-operation. The average mitral annulus area is (3.00?0.57) cm~2. The transmitral pressure gradient decreased from (8.13?4.49) mmHg to (6.25?3.82) mmHg after operation (P=0.050). There were eight cases with minimal reflux and 6 cases with slight reflux. In all patients, the heart function returned to NYHA I～II grade. Conclusion The “edge-to-edge” technique is a feasible and effective operation for treatment of the mitral regurgitation caused by Barlow's disease.

Objective To explore the method and result of endoscopic thyroidectomy. Methods Thyroidectomy was performed endoscopically in 4 cases of thyroidoma. Results 4 patients underwent endoscopic thyroidectomy, whose operation time was 52,63,70,75 minutes respectively. An average blood loss during operation was 35ml and no complication occurred. They were discharged 4 days～5 days after operation. Conclusions The endoscopic thyroidectomy has the advantages of minimal invasion, less bleeding, less complication and quicker recovery.

Objective To remedy the general defects of external fixator such as poor stability,complexed operation,strong stress shielding and bad extension function. Methods A total of 102 patients with limb shaft fracture were treated with the self-made external fixation and the curative effect observed. There were 84 males and 18 females aged at 5-78 years. Of all, 76 cases had tibial and fibular fractures, 10 femoral shaft fractures (children), 4 intertrochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures, 7 ulnar or radial fractures and 5 humeral shaft fractures. Results All patients got good results through a all-course observation, among which 76 cases with tibial and fibular fractures were followed up for 3 months to one year. Furthermore, the mean substantial bone healing time was only 3.5 months. The joint functions of the knee and the ankle recovered synchronously, with an overall excellence rate of 93.4%. No displacement of the fractured part or further fracture occurred. Conclusions The structure and function of the self-made external fixation accord with the demanding of current external fixator in orthopaedics.

Methods SP immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expressions of Stat3, CyclinD1 and PCNA in 45 cases of NSCLC. Results The positive rate of Stat3 was 71. 1 % in NSCLC. The expression intensities of Stat3 was not associated with different tumor sizes and histological type, but it was associated with the expression intensities of CyclinDi and PCNA (r= 0.531, P

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determination of dasatinib concentration in human plasma and study the bioequivalence of 2 kinds of tablets. METHODS:In a randomized two-way crossover study,24 healthy male volunteers were divid-ed into two groups,and were administered respectively with test and reference preparations 100 mg under fasting and fed condi-tions. The plasma concentration of dasatinib was determined by LC-MS/MS. Using imatinib mesylate as internal standard,the deter-mination was performed on Welchrom C18 column with mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile-0.1% formic acid(70∶30,V/V). Posi-tive ion scanning was conducted under MRM mode,ESI,and ion pair for quantitative analysis were m/z 488.5→401.2 (dasatinib) and m/z 494.6→394.2(internal standard). DAS 3.2.8 software was used for data processing and variance analysis was adopted to in-vestigate the bioequivalence of 2 kinds of tablets. RESULTS:The linear rang of dasatinib was 1-300 ng/ml. The pharmacokinetic pa-rameters of test and reference preparations under fasting conditions were as follows:cmax were (165.599 ± 67.592) and (164.533 ± 77.960)ng/ml;tmax were(1.145±0.504)and(1.080±0.467)h;t1/2 were(5.080±2.262)and(3.771±1.596)h;AUC0-36 h were (550.487 ± 256.494) and (585.986 ± 324.885) ng·h/ml. The pharmacokinetic parameters of test and reference preparations under fed conditions were as follows:cmax were(163.058±47.533)and(165.440±53.012)ng/ml;tmax were(1.630±1.066)and(1.576± 0.530)h;t1/2 were(4.720±2.677)and(4.311±2.610)h;AUC0-36 h were(568.036±192.521)and(601.100±216.855)ng·h/ml. Relative bioavailability of AUC0-36 h under fasting and fed conditions were(100.2±7.5)% and(99.2±3.8)%. Analysis of variance showed there were no significant difference in the pharmacokinetic parameters of between 2 preparations and cyde(P>0.05),there was statistical significance among subjects(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:LC-MS/MS method can determine the concentration of da-satinib in human plasma rapidly;and the two preparations are bioequivalent.

Objective To assess the left ventricular longitudinal shrinkage function in liver cirrhosis patients with two-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (2D-STI). Methods Echocardiography and Doppler echocardiography were performed in 34 patients with liver cirrhosis and 35 healthy subjects of corresponding ages. High frame rate two-dimensional images were recorded from apical long-axis view, four-chamber view and two-chamber view of left ventricle; then the left ventricular diameter, left atrium diameter, the peak filling velocity of E wave and A wave, E/A ratio, EF and FS were measured. The peak systolic strain of left ventricular segment was measured with two-dimensional strain software. Results Compared with healthy subjects, left ventricular diameter, left atrium diameter, EF and FS of liver cirrhosis patients were not statistically different (P>0.05), but the E/A ratio was lower (P<0.05). The peak systolic strain of most left ventricular segment in liver cirrhosis reduced significantly (P<0.05), except that of base segment of posterior wall, anterior wall, inferior wall, anterior and posterior interventricular septum, as well as middle segment of posterior interventricular septum. Conclusion The heart shape, systolic and diastole function of liver cirrhosis are abnormal. 2D-STI can early and accurately evaluate the systolic function of liver cirrhosis.

Objective To compare the mid-term results of video-assisted pulmonary veins isolation and box-lesion for lone atrial fibrillation.Methods Between June 2010 to November 2012,80 lone atrial fibrillation(LAF) patients underwent minimally invasive surgical ablation in Beijing Anzhen Hospital,and all of them received left atrial appendage excision and Marshall ligament break in the surgery.Among them,37 cases were performed two epicardial ablation lines in order to created box-lesion based on PVI(14 paroxysmal AF and 23 persistent AF).Follow-up was finished after discharge.Results Mean follow-up was(18.8 ± 7.4) months,and 2 patients were died with non-cardiac disease.The success rate is 78.8％ (Paroxysmal AF 87.9％;Persistent AF 72.3％).In the paroxysmal AF patients,the success rate for PVI and Box lesion treatment was 84.6％ (11/13) and 92.9％ (13/14),P =0.45;in the persistent AF patients,the success rate for PVI and Box-lesion was 58.3％ (14/24) and 87.5％ (14/16),P =0.04.Conclusion Addition of epicedial ablation lines might increase the cure rate for lone AF therapy,especially for persistent AF.
