The disease incidence of aortic dissecting aneurysm showed an increasing tendency.Recently,the clinical application of endovascular stent-graft implantation received good results in treating aortic dissecting aneurysm,which is characterized by minimally invasive,safe,with high success rates.However,the chosen of anesthesia is still in dispute.Local anesthesia,intraspinal anesthesia and general anesthesia can be used in this operation.The investigation demonstrated that intubation general anesthesia is more security in this operation with less complication,which is conductive to controlling blood pressure and braking conditions.

Objective To evaluate the effect of the standardized training program for resident physicians in Ruijin Hospital,and analyse the problems so as to provide reference to improve the training.Methods Questionnaire surveys were conducted among 113 resident physicians,31 teachers and 43 head nurses in Rujin Hospital by using the simple random sampling and 300.The data was analysed by Kirkpatrick's model in four layers including reaction layer,learning layer,behaviors layer and results layer.Data of reation layer was analysed by ANOVA and data of behaviors layer was compared by paired t-test.Results Reaction layer:the resident physicians' overall satisfaction score for the training is 3.45.Learning layer:all resident doctors participating in the training passed all the exams organised by the hospital.Behaviors layer:Residents made a great progress in many aspects after the standardized training program,and the difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01) according to the analysis of all questionnaires written by residents,clinical teachers and head nurses.Results layer:both the patient complaint rate and the accident rate of the 113 resident physicians was 0 while they all passed the National Medical Licensing Examination and the employment rate was 100％.Conclusions the standardized training program for resident physicians in Ruijin Hospital gets fairly good effect.Resident doctors' quality and ability in many aspects are improved and the overall satisfaction for the training is high,but in salary,benefits and sense of belonging to the hospital,the satisfaction is relatively low.

Patients with hypoxia pulmonary hypertension (HPH) are often accompanied by dyspnea, fatigue, and headache. With the development of the disease, the right ventricle gradually collapses and eventually leads to death. Hypoxic pulmonary vascular remodeling is an important pathological basis of HPH, and the remodeled pulmonary vessels will form permanent thickening. The mechanism of hypoxic pulmonary vascular remodeling is relatively complex. At present, there are few studies on drugs for pulmonary vascular remodeling on the market, mainly focusing on the alleviation of pulmonary vasoconstriction. It was found that hypoxia induces calcium overload in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), resulting in the proliferation of PASMCs. The main mechanisms include: ① abnormal expression of calcium pumps; ② abnormal calcium channels in the plasma membrane of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells; ③ overexpression of calcium-sensitive receptors in cells; ④ the expression of Na⁺/Ca²⁺ exchanger type-1 was abnormal. This review summarized several mechanisms of hypoxia induced calcium overload leading to pulmonary artery remodeling, hoping to provide a new idea for the treatment of HPH.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of Schisandra chinensis lignans (SCL) on neuronal apoptosis and PI3K/AKT signaling pathway of rats in the cerebral ischemia injury model, and study its possible mechanism.

METHODRats were orally administered SCL high, middle and low dose groups (100, 50, 25 mg x kg(-1)) for 14 days. The cerebral ischemia injury model was established by using the suture-occluded method to rate the neurological functions. The cerebral infarction area was observed by TTC staining. The pathological changes in brain tissues were determined by HE staining. Bcl-2 and Bax expressions were detected by immunohistochemical assay. The protein expressions of p-AKT and AKT were assayed by Western blotting.

RESULTCompared with the model group, SCL high, middle and low dose groups showed reduction in the cerebral infarction area to varying degrees, improve the pathological changes in brain tissues, promote the expression of apoptin Bcl-2 and p-AKT, and inhibit the expression of apoptin Bax.

CONCLUSIONSCL shows a protective effect on rats with cerebral ischemia injury. Its mechanism may be related to the increase in p-AKT ability and antiischemic brain injury capacity and the inhibition of nerve cells.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical symptom and effect of arthroscopic treatment of symptomatic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) cysts of the knee.

METHODSClinical data from 12 symptomatic ACL cysts patients from January 2005 to December 2010 were retrospectively analyzed,including 8 males and 4 females,with an average age of (33.7±9.5) years old (ranged, 19 to 53 years old). The locations were the left knee in 5 cases and the right knee in 7 cases. The disease duration ranged from 3 to 48 months,with a mean of (15.8±13.2) months. All cysts were arthroscopically resected. Range of motion was measured preoperatively and postoperatively, and Lysholm scoring system was used to evaluate the knee function.

RESULTSAll the incisions healed by first intention, and no complications occurred. Twelve patients were followed up for an average of (32.3±6.6) months(ranged, 24 to 48 months). The symptoms of arthralgia,swelling and interlocking of the affected knees disappeared. There was no recurrence during the follow-up. There were significant differences in the range of motion and Lysholm score between pre-operation and post-operation.

CONCLUSIONArthroscopic surgery, showing its advantages of minimal invasion and rapid recovery,is an effective measure in the treatment of ACL cysts.

OBJECTIVETo observe the protective effects of total flavones of metasequosia (TFM) on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

METHODThe bilateral vertebral arteries of rats were occluded under anesthesia, and 4-5 h later the carotid arteries of rats in the conscious condition were occluded for 30 min followed by reperfusion for 90 min. The effects of TFM on the contents of water, Na+, Ca2+ in cortex, malondialdehyde (MDA) content and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in brain hemispheres, as well as the EEG activities were observed.

RESULTAfter 30 min ischemia and 90 min reperfusion, the contents of water, Na+ , Ca2+ and MDA were increased, and the SOD activity was reduced with abnormal EEG activity and ischemic injury in the brain tissues. TFM 25-100 mg x kg(-1) ip 30 min before the carotid arteries were occluded, decreased the elevated water, Na+, Ca2+ and MDA contents, increased the SOD activity, reduced the ischemic injury of brain tissue, and promoted the recovery of EEG activities.

CONCLUSIONTFM has a protective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effectiveness of transurethral seminal vesiculoscopy (TUSV) combined with finasteride in the treatment of recurrent hemospermia.

METHODSThis study included 32 patients with recurrent hematospermia, with the disease course of 3 months to 4 years. After administration of finasteride at 5 mg/d for 2 weeks, the patients underwent TUSV for both exploration of the causes and treatment, followed by medication with finasteride at the same dose for another 2 weeks. Postoperative follow-up was conducted for observation of the outcomes and complications.

RESULTSTUSV was successfully accomplished in all the 32 cases, which revealed 16 cases of seminal vesiculitis, 10 seminal calculi, 1 seminal vesicle cyst, 2 seminal vesicle polyps, and 3 seminal vesicle abscess. The operative time was 20 to 51 (31.0 +/- 5.2) minutes. Postoperative complications included 1 case of acute epididymitis and 3 cases of breast discomfort within the first 4 weeks. No incontinence, urethral stricture, rectal injury, retrograde ejaculation, and sexual dysfunction occurred postoperatively. All the patients but 1 were followed up for 6 months to 2 years. Twenty-nine of the cases were cured, and 2 experienced recurrence.

CONCLUSIONTransurethral seminal vesiculoscopy combined with finasteride is safe and effective for the treatment of recurrent hemospermia.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of glutamine-enriched enteral nutrition on the nutritional status and prognosis of patients with severe head injury.

METHODSThirty-three patients with severe head injury were randomly divided into control group (C, 15 cases) and glutamine-enriched group (Gln, 18 cases). Patients in both groups were given routine treatment and enteral nutrition with the same amount of nitrogen and calorie. Patients in Gln group were given glutamine 0.5 g x kg(-1) x d(-1) additionally added into the nutrient fluid. Vital signs and the occurrence of side effects of all patients were observed before and after nutrition support. Venous blood and urine sample of all patients were collected before and 7, 14 days after treatment to determine the parameters of blood, urine routine and hepatorenal function. At the same time points, body mass, skin fold thickness at the region of triceps brachii (TSF), upper arm circumference (AC), upper arm muscle circumference (AMC) and fasting blood glucose of all patients were detected and determined, Glasgow coma scale (GCS) scoring was performed. The length of hospital stay of all patients was recorded.

RESULTSVital signs and parameters of blood, urine routine and hepatorenal function of patients in 2 groups after nutrition treatment were close to those before treatment. Side effects, such as nausea and diarrhea occurred with spontaneous remission in a few patients. There was no statistical significant difference between 2 groups, and within each group before and after treatment, in respect of body mass and TSF (P > 0.05). Values of AC and AMC of patients in Gln group were obviously higher than those of C group (P < 0.01) on post-treatment day 14. Fasting blood glucose and GCS score of all patients before treatment were close to those on post-treatment day 14 (P > 0.05). Fasting blood glucose and GCS score of patients was respectively lower and higher in Gln group than that in C group on post-treatment day 7 (P < 0.05). Length of hospital stay of patients in Gln group (25 +/- 9) d was obviously shorter than that of C group (33 +/- 12) d (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSGlutamine-enriched enteral nutrition can control the blood glucose level, prevent the loss of lean tissue, improve nutrition status of patients,shorten hospital stay, and accelerate the recovery of patients to some extent.
