Objective To analyse the effects of anastomat to the resection surgery in 1800 esophageal and gastric cardiac carcinoma patients. Methods The Esophagus-gaster and Esophagus-intestine were stapled by anastomat in the cervical region in 182 cases、 intrathoracically in 1296 cases and intraperitoneal in 322cases. The occurrence of complications caused by anastomat, including anastomotic fistula,anastomotic stricture,anastomotic bleeding and mechanical failure,were observed. Results Anastomotic fistula occurred in 15 cases ( 15/1800,0.83% ,ten cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat ,five cases took YH-W single disposable single anastomat ), among which 6 cases had the cervical anastomosis; Anastomotic stricture occurred in 41 cases ( 41 /1800,3.11%, fifteen cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat, twenty-six took YH-W single disposable single anastomat) ,but all of them recovered after dilatation; Anastomotic bleeding occurred in 21 cases (21/18001.16%, thirteen cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat, eight took YH-W single disposable single anastomat) ;Anastomat mechanical failure in operation occurred in 14 cases( 14/1800,0. 78% ,ten cases took Shanghai-made GF-I anastomat, four took YH-W single disposable single anastomat). Conclusion Anastomat is an effective method in reducing the postoperational complications of esophageal and gastric cardiac carcinoma resection. Disposable single anastomat has higher clinical value.

Objective To observe the safety of midazolam and fentanyl in coronary intervention and its effect on haemodynamics. Methods 150 cases undergoing coronary intervention were randomly divided into three groups(n=50 for each):the control group were given injection of 5 ml saline,midazolam group were given 0.04 mg/kg midazolam and combined fentanyl group were given injection of 0.02 mg/kg midazolam with 1.2μg/kg fent-anyl intravenously. Heart rate(HR),mean blood pressure(MAP),SpO<,2>,OAA/S and BIS were observed during the intervention and the patients' satisfaction and the incidence of complications were investigated. Results There was no significant difference among the three groups in MAP and HR (F=3.34,2.98,P>0.05). MAP increased from (95.7±14.5) mm Hg to (85.4±15.3) mm Hg after treatment (t=4.34,P<0.01) and HR increased from (83.3±23.4) times/min to (78.4±22.7) times/min in control group (t=3.37,P<0.01). BIS score was (90.5±7.2),(75.5±12.8) and (72.3±14.1) during intervention and 24 hVAS score was (53.5±25.4),(58.8±18.2) and (71.9±16.8) in control group,midazolam group and combined fentanyl group,with significant difference between groups (F=10.89,8.56,P<0.01). Conclusion Low dose of midazolam and fentanyl can make the patients calm,which relieves the tensity and anxiety and enhance the tolerance and safety of intervention but has no remarkable effect on bemodynamics.

Clinical Medicine of China 2009;25(7):708-710
Objective To study the curative effect and medchanism of action about prostaglandin E1 and magnesium sulfate in the treatment of chronic pulmonary heart disease in the aggravation period. Methods Fifty-three patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease in the aggravation period were accepted emergencyward in the Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital during June 2007 to May 2008,they were randomly divided into the treatment group (28 case) and control group (25 case) . Both groups were given low flux breathe in oxygen and dissipate phlegm and relieve a cough and resist infection and spasmo]ysis and calm down asthma and strive heart and diuresis colligate therapy. Mean while,patients in the treatment group,beside the colligate therapy,were treated with prostaglandin E1 10 ml and magnesium sulfate 10 ml ,the course of treatment lasted 2 weeks. Then we investigate the amelioration of clinical symptom and alteration of blood gas analysis in the two groups before and after the treatment. Results The rate of clinical efficacy were 89.3% (25/28) and 76.0% (18/25),with superiority in the treatment group (χ2=1.87,P<0.05) . Whole blood viscosity,fibrinogen,PaO2 and PaCO2 were improved in both groups,amelioration of blood gas analysis observation superiority in the treatment group compared with control group (P<0.05). Conclu-sions Prostaglandin E1 and magnesium sulfate can depress pulmonary artery pressure and abate the afterload of right ventricle,which have better treatment effect in chronic pulmonary heart disease in the aggravation period.

Objective To compare the QTc and QTcd between type 2 diabetic and non-diabetic patients with post-myocardial infarction (post-MI) ,and to compare the QTcd in type 2 diabetic patients with post-MI treated with insulin,sulfonylurea,mefformin,or diet alone. Methods We measured the QTc and QTcd through simultaneous 12-lead Electrocardiogram in 138 post-MI patients,including 70 type 2 diabetic (of which,23 were assigned to re-ceive insulin,20 glipizide,16 mefformin,11 diet control) and 68 non-diabetic patients. Result Compared with post-MI patients without diabetes,those with type 2 diabetes had significantly higher QTc [(377.2±24.3) ms vs (342.9±27.5)ms,t=7.79,P<0.01] and QTcd [(48.8±19.7)ms vs (40.3±26.6)ms,t=2.14,P<0.05]. There were no significant difference between the mefformin group and the diet control group (P>0.05). The QTc and QTcd in the insulin group were significantly higher than those in the other three group s(P<0.05),and the QTc and QTcd in the glipizide group were higher than those in the mefformin group or diet control group(P<0.05,and P<0.01,respectively). Conclusion Type 2 diabetes is associated with an additional increase in the QTcd in post-MI patients,suggesting higher mortality risk in post-MI patients with type 2 diabetes. Insulin and glipizide may in-crease the QTc and QTcd in post-MI patients with diabetes. These effects were more significant in the insulin therapy group.

Objective To study the expression and clinical significance of ezrin in breast carcinoma. Methods Immunohistuchemieal staining(S-P) was used to detect the expression of ezrin in 63 cases of breast car-cinoma samples. Results Among these 63 samples,the total expression rates of ezrin were 55.56% (35/63). With the increasing of axillary lymph nodes metastasis and clinical staging,the rates of expressing of ezrin elevated (P<0.05),which was remarkably lower in patients whose disease-free survival(DFS) was > 5 years,or those whose DFS≤5 years or died within five years(P<0.05) ,but the expression of ezrin was not correlated with tumor size,age and menopausal status (P>0.05). Conclusion The expression of ezrin may contribute to prognostic e-valuation for breast carcinoma.

Objective To discuss the significance of serum IgE before and after inhale glucocorticoid treat-ment of children's asthma. Methods 520 children with asthma were seleceted from the outpatient. Different type of fluticasone propionate were given to different age groups: Aerosol type by a spacer in less than 5 years old,and in-halant (Seretide) 5 years and the above. The dosage was between 200 μg/day to 375 μg/day. IgE was tested before and 3 months after the treatment. Results Serum IgE decreased significantly in 3 months treatment [ from (496.12±24.75) kU/L to (390.71±18.71) kU/L] (t=7.337,P<0.01). The change of IgE was related to clinical effect and age. The level increased in those less than 3 years [(307.05±34.71)kU/L vs (483.09±41.78) kU/L] (t=2.963,P=0.004),but decreased between 4 to 5 years old group [(543.46±51.03) kU/L vs (316.93±29.30) kU/L] (t=3.368,P=0.000) ,and decreased between 6 to 14 years old group[ (586.30±37.19)kU/L vs (387.61±27.60) kU/L] (t=4.827,P=0.000). In fluticasone group IgE level changed from (468.91±32.81) kU/L to (359.03±22.79) kU/L after treatment (t=5.988,P<0.01),which decreased from (586.30±37.19) kU/L to (387.6±27.60) kU/L in Salmeterol group (t=4.827,P<0.01). In 260 cases of IgE below 300 kU/L 109 cases (41.92%,109/260) increased while in 260 cases of IgE above 300 kU/L,total IgE lev-el increased in 45 cases (16.15% ,45/260) after treatment,with statistical significance(χ<'2>=37.789,P=0.000). Conclusion Inhale glucocorticoid can make the level of IgE decreased.

Objective To examine clinical significance and relativity of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods Ser-um concentrations of H-FABP and hs-CRP were measured in 60 patients with chronic heart failure and 30 control subjects. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was examined by Doppler echocardio graphic in all subjects. Re-sults Serum concentrations of H-FABP and hs-CRP were higher in patients with chronic heart failure than in con-trol subjects[(6.11±1.49)μg/L vs (4.24±1.40)μg/L,and (12.77±3.65)mg/L vs(4.85±1.35) mg/L,t=5.746 and 7.543,P<0.01] but LVEF was lower in patients with chronic heart failure than in control subjects [(42.13±6.55) % vs (61.50±3.89) %,t=-14.902,P<0.01]. In CHF subgroups,H-FABP and hs-CRP lev-el increased with advancing NYHA class (F=26.288 and 351.784,P<0.01) but LVEF decreased (F=252.834,P<0.01). The serum H-FABP concentrations had a positive correlation with serum hs-CRP concentrations (r=0.801,P<0.01),and a negative correlation with LVEF (r=-0.718,P<0.01) ;serum hs-CRP concentrations had a negative correlation with LVEF(r=-0.881,P<0.01). Conclusion Serum H-FABP and hs-CRP levels are in-creased with the worsening of CHF. H-FABP and hs-CRP level are pnsitiviely related. The quantitative determination of serum concentrations of H-FABP and hs-CRP is valuable for risk stratification in patients with chronic heart fail-ure.
