Objective To explore the complications and the treatments of repeated cesarean delivery in scar uterus pregnancy accompanied by the placenta praevia. Methods We performed a retrospective study in 6832 cases underwent first cesarean delivery,within which 201 cases were accompanied by the placenta praevia;and 337 cases underwent repeated cesarean deliver, within which 26 cases were accompanied by the placenta praevia. All subjects accepted cesarean delivery from January2006 toApril 2010 in our hospital. Results The occurrence rate of placenta previa was significantly higher in the repeated cesarean delivery than first-ever cesarean delivery (7. 72% vs 2. 94%, x2 = 22. 33, P < 0. 01 ) , especially the occurrence of complete placenta previa (42. 30% vs 0. 00%, x2 = 80. 43, P < 0. 01 ). The rates of uterus rupture, placenta accreta, postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy (r = 26. 92% ,23.08% ,26. 92% and 7. 69%, respectively) in repeated cesarean delivery in scar uterus pregnancy accompanied by the placenta praevia were significantly higher than those of the cases ( r = 2. 57% ,0. 32%, 1.29% and 0. 00%, respectively ) had repeated cesarean delivery in scar uterus pregnancy but no placenta previa ( x2 = 27.97,50. 41,42. 16,12. 79, respectively, Ps < 0. 01 ). Conclusion The incidence of placenta previa increased in scar uterus pregnancy, especially the complete placental previa.Scar uterus pregnancy accompanied by the placenta praevia are more likely to occur uterus rupture,placenta accreta,postpartum hemorrhage and had hysterectomy. Obstetricians should give more effort to reduce the cesarean section rate,improve the quality of medical care.

Objective To observe the expression of HER-2 and TOPO-Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancer,analyze the correlation between their expression and provide theoretical basis for clinical diagnosis,prognosis and treatment. Methods Expression levels of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα in 10 normal ovarian tissues,20 benign tumors and 58 cases of ovarian epithelial cancers were detected by immunohistochemical method, and their correlations with pathological features were analyzed. Results The positive expression rate of HER-2 in normal ovarian and benign tumor tissues were significantly lower than ovarian epithelial cancers respectively ( 10. 0% , 15.0% VS 46. 6% ;P < 0. 05 ). The positive expression rate of TOPO- Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancers was significantly higher than normal and benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissue (53.4% vs 10. 0%, and 15.0%,Ps < 0. 05 ), but we did not find significant difference in the comparison between normal and benign epithelial ovarian tumor tissue ( Ps > 0. 05 ). The expression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα were significantly correlated with clinical stages, histological differentiation of tumor cells (Ps < 0. 05 ) ,but there were no correlations between the age or histological type. In ovarian cancer tissues, a positive correlation between the expression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱα was observed ( r = 0. 324, P < 0. 05 ) . Conclusion The overexpression of HER-2 and TOPO- Ⅱαplay an important role in ovarian carcinogenesis and development. The expression of HER-2 is positively correlated with TOPO- Ⅱα in ovarian epithelial cancers. Coexpression of the two moleculars may be involved in the development and progression of ovarian epithelial cancer, which should be further studied.

Objective To study the efficacy of surgical treatment in hilar cholangiocarcinoma patients. Methods One hundred and four cases underwent surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma were retrospective enrolled in the study from 1998 to 2008, including 45 cases of radical resection, 38 cases of palliative resection, vitro bridge drainage in 21 cases, 93 cases of postoperative patients. Ninty-three patients were followed up for 5 - 67 months, the different procedures of the treatment was summerized. Results Oneyear survival rate of radical resection and palliative resection was 80. 0% ( 32/40 ) and 86. 8% ( 33/38 ),respectively. No significant difference between the two groups (P >0. 01 ) were found; 2-year survival rate was 67. 5% (27/40) and 39. 5% ( 15/38), with significant difference between the two groups (P <0. 01 ) ;3-year survival rates were 37.5% ( 15/40 ) and 13.2% ( 5/38 ), with significant difference between the two groups (P<0. 05). Palliative resection had higher 1-year survival rate than in vitro bridge drainage(P < 0.01).Conclusion Surgical treatment of hilar cholangiocarcinoma is the most effective way to prolong the survival time of radical resection, radical surgery had better efficacy than palliative surgery, and palliative surgery is superior to external drainage. In patients of severe jaundice combined with biliary drainage infection, preoperative bridge drainage would improve the safety.

Objective To evaluate the incidence and to investigate risk factors of supraventricular arrhythmia (SVAs) in postoperative cancer patients in intensive care unit ( ICU ). Methods Data of 570 patients consecutively admitted to oncologic surgical ICU of Cancer Hospital of Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences from Nov. 2008 to Oct. 2009 were retrospectively collected. Univariate and multivariate logistic analysis were conducted for potential factors that influenced SAVs. Results Thirteen patients with a history of atrial fibrillation (AF) were excluded and 557 patients were eligible for the study. SVAs occurred in 72 patients ( 12. 93% ). Multivariate analysis showed four independent predictors of SVAs including age ( OR = 1. 066,95%CI: 1. 034 - 1. 099,P <0. 001 ) ,a history of coronary heart diseases ( OR = 2. 644,95% CI: 1. 459 - 4. 790,P < 0. 05), sepsis ( OR = 2. 374,95% CI: 1. 098 - 5. 135, P < 0. 05 ) and intra-thoracic procedure ( OR =2. 322,95 % CI: 1.061 - 5.084, P < 0. 05 ) . ICU length of stay, severity ( APACHE Ⅱ scores in SVAs patients) were significantly greater in patients who were not affected by SVAs ( ICU stay: [2 ( 1 ~ 77 )]vs [3 ( 1 ~ 40 )]days,P < 0. 001; APACHE Ⅱ score: [9 (0 ~ 37 )] vs [11 (3 ~ 38 )], P = 0. 001 ). Nine cases died in SVAs patients ( 12. 5% ) and 19 died in the non-SVAs patients (3.9%), with significant difference between the two groups( x2 = 9. 673, P = 0. 002). Conclusion In oncologic surgical ICU, the incidence of SVAs is high. Age,history of coronary heart diseases, sepsis and intra-thoracic procedure were independent rsik factors of SVAs. SVAs prolong ICU length of stay. SVAs is a marker of critical illness severity.

Objective To evaluate the application value of BODE and the relationship between BODE index and life quality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in rural China. Methods A total of 26 rural patients with stable COPD were enrolled. BODE index and it's four components including body mass index ( BMI ), airflow obstruction ( FEV1 % ), dyspnea ( MMRC ) and exercise capacity ( 6MWD ) were calculated. St. Georgeps Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) were used to evaluate health-related quality of life of these patients. Results The BODE index was significantly correlated with the SGRQ total score , symptom ,activity and impact score ( r = 0. 674,0. 430,0. 460,0. 495 respectively, Ps < 0. 05 ). GOLD grade was only significantly correlated with the SGRQ total score and active score( r =0. 447,0. 418 ,Ps <0. 05 ). Stepwise liner multiple regression analysis showed that activity score of SGRRQ was an influence factor of BODE index. 6MWD of BODE index( t = - 2. 397, P = 0. 025 ) and MMRC ( t = 2. 257, P = 0. 034 ) were independently correlated with activity scores of SGRQ . Conclusion BODE index and life quality had significant relationship. 6MWD and MMRC of BODE index were the most powerful influence factors of life quality in rural COPD patients.

Objective To investigate the association between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and metabolism or carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) in Type 2 diabetic(T2DM). Methods According to the liver B-ultrasonography, a total of 321 T2DM patients were divided into two groups, with or without NAFLD. Metabolic indexes such as BMI, BP, blood glucose, blood lipid, uric acid ( UA ), insulin, C-peptipe,insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) between the two groups were compared, and the relationships between alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and the above indexes were analyzed. Furthermore,the CIMT of the two groups were compared, and the relationships between NAFLD, ALT and CIMT were investigated by correlation and regression analysis. Results Compared with the group without NAFLD, the patients with NAFLD had higher level of BMI, triglyceride ( TG ), UA, fasting blood glucose ( FBG ), fasting insulin ( FIns ), fasting C peptide (FCP) ,HOMA-IR,and lower level of high density lipoprotein ( HDL-C ) significantly; BMI ( OR = 1.25, P <0. 001 ), TG ( OR = 1.74, P = 0. 008 ) and HOMA-IR ( OR = 2. 33, P = 0.010) were independent risk factors of NAFLD while H DL-C was independent protective factor; ALT was positively correlated with BMI (r = 0. 255, P <0. 001 ) ,TG(r =0. 156,P <0. 018) ,UA(r =0. 239,P <0. 001 ) ,FIns(r =0. 213,P =0. 001) ,FCP(r =0. 199,P <0. 003), HOMA-IR ( r = 0. 247, P < 0. 001 ) and negatively correlated with HDL-C ( r = - 0. 199, P =0. 002) ,and BMI (β =0. 456,P =0. 048) ,UA (β =0. 021 ,P =0. 025) and HOMA-IR(β =3.634 ,P =0. 004)were independent associated facrors. The difference of CIMT between the two groups didn't reach statistical significance, while mutiple regression analysis revealed that ALT was independently associated with CIMT(β =0. 002,P = 0. 013). Conclusion T2DM patients with NAFLD show more serious disorder of metabolism and insulin resistance. ALT is an independent risk factor of CIMT in T2DM patients.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of NEOVEIL in postoperative pulmonary air leakage of pulmonary bullae resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 37 cases received NEOVEIL combined with ATB45 in video-assisted thoracic surgery (the NEOVEIL group), and clinical data of 40 cases by ATB45 alone(the control group) . We compared postoperative hospitalization time, keeping time of pleural cavity tubes, the pulmonary leakage time and the incidence of pulmonary infection in the two groups. Results There was no postoperative mechanical ventilation,hemothorax and death. In the NEOVEIL group, the postoperative hospitalization time was 5 to 9 days, the postoperative keeping time of pleural cavity tubes 2 to 4 days, the postoperative pulmonary leakage time 0 to 2 days with 4 patients un-leakage, and 1 patients with pulmonary infection; whereas the postoperative hospitalization time was 6 to 10 days,the postoperative keeping time of pleural cavity tubes 3 to 6 days,the postoperative pulmonary leakage time 2 to 5 days and 8 patients with pulmonary infection in the control group. There was statistical significance in the postoperative hospitalization time, keeping time of pleural cavity tubes, the pulmonary leakage time and the incidence of pulmonary inflammation in two groups(P < 0. 05). The incidence of pulmonary inflammation of the NEOVEIL group (2. 7%) was significantly lower than that of the control group(20. 0%)(x2 = 4. 02, P < 0. 05). Conclusion The operative effectiveness of the NEOVEIL group is better than that of the control group. The NEOVEIL can prevent the postoperative pulmonary leakage.
