Objective To explore the feasibility and effect of intervention therapy for patients subclavian steal syndrome.MethodsThe data of 35 patients with subclavian artery steal syndrome in neurology department of our hospital from October 2014 to March 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.All patients treated with pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting.The degree of vascular stenosis was measured by digital subtraction angiography, the inter-arm blood pressure was tested by mercury sphygmomanometer.And the clinical manifestations before and after surgery were compared.All patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months,the clinical manifestations,blood flow and vascular stenosis degree in patients were observed.Results All patients were finished pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting successfully,7 patients with serious vascular stenosis treated with percutaneous intravascular balloon dilatation at first.The average artery stenosis before operation was(74.73±10.42)%,while it decreased to(8.60+3.16)% after surgery,which were measured by DSA,the difference was significant(P<0.01).The result from mercury sphygmomanometer showed that the inter-arm blood pressure from preoperative(44.43±10.12)mmHg to postoperative (10.09+4.80)mmHg (2~7 days),systolic blood pressure differential minified significantly,the difference was significant(P<0.01).All patients were followed up for 1 to 12 months,support forms of 34 cases were in good conditions without new narrow,1 case appeared narrow in postoperative 7 months,then recovered after reoperation;symptoms of 28 cases significantly improved or disappeared,5 cases partly alleviated,2 cases had recurrence,no serious complications such as thrombosis and severe infarction occurred.Conclusion The pecutaneous transtuminl angioplasty and stenting is stable,high successful and low short-term recurrence rate for subclavian steal syndrome,which is good to alleviate vascular stenosis,reduce interrm blood pressure difference and improve clinical manifestation.

In order to assess colonic motility of chronic constipation, colonic transit test was carried out in 34 patients with chronic constipation and in 20 healthy subjects. 20 radiopaque markers are ingested at 8 am before the day test, and plain abdominal films were obtained at 24 h, 48 h and 72 h. The normal value of colonic transit test was 16(80%), or more markers passed after 72 h. By means of transit time study, 34 constipated patients were classified into 2 groups: 12 normal transit patients and 22 slow transit patients. There was no difference in colonic transit time between normal transit patients and controls (P＞0.05). Patients with slow transit had more markers left in right colon, left colon and rectosigmoid colon at 48 h (P＜0.01, respectively) and 72 h (P＜0.01, respectively). According to the transit index, 22 slow transit patients were divided into 3 types: 10 cases colonic stasis, 8 cases outlet obstruction and 4 cases colorectal stasis. The study suggests that chronic constipated patients have abnormalbilities of colonic transit.

Objectives To study the sonogram characteristics of sactosalpinx by endovaginal ultrasonography and to evaluate it's value for the diagnosis and treatment of infertility. Methods 34 patients were diagnosed as sactosalpinx with sonography. They were confirmed by sactosalpingography. Results Sactosalpinx showed long-bar or a cystic shape twisty liquid dim areas in adnexa site. There were incomplete septaligth band in it.Conclusions sactosalpinx can be detected by transvaginal sonography. It has great significance to guide the treatment and other examinations related to infertility.

Wingless type protein (Wnt protein) is a group of protein which plays an important role in the process of animal growth and hemopoiesis,the signaling pathway they conducted was called Wnt signaling pathway,and its abnormal activation can lead to many tumors,include lung caner.As a tumor suppressor gene,WIF-1 can restrain the activation of Wnt signaling pathway,which can avoid lung cancer.WIF-l's methylation can downregulate the expression of WIF-1,which can activate Wnt signaling pathway and cause lung cancer.So the detection of WIF-1's methylation may contribute to clinical diagnose of lung cancer,and therapy of WIF-1 's methylation may be one of the treatment metheds of lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the protective role of dexmedetomidine in rats with endotoxin-induced acute lung injury (ALI).Methods Forty-eight adult male SD rats were divided into four groups (n=12 each) according to the random number table: control group, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group, dexmedetomidine (DEX) treatment group and DEX pretreatment group.ALI was induced in rats by femoral intravenous injection of LPS (8 mg/kg).Rats in DEX treatment group was given DEX (50 μg/kg) for 2 minutes via the femoral intravenous injection 0.5 hour after LPS injection, followed by maintenance pump injection of DEX (5 μg·kg-1·h-1).Analogously, rats in DEX pretreatment group was given DEX (50 μg/kg) for 2 min via the femoral intravenous injection 0.5 hour before LPS injection, followed by maintenance pump injection of DEX (5 μg·kg-1·h-1).By contrast, control group received the same amount of normal saline intravenously.All rats were sentenced to death and their carotid blood samples were collected6 hours after all injections.Superior lobe of the right lung was examined under light microscope and the histologic findings were tested using the difusse alveolar damage (DAD) score.Middle lobe of the right lung was used to calculate the lung tissue wet/dry weight (W/D) ratio.Samples of collected carotid blood were taken to measure levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and interleukin (IL)-6.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) obtained from bronchoalveolar lavage was collected to measure levels of TNF-α and IL-6.Results Lung tissue injury was obvious after LPS injection and DAS score was improved as well.However DEX therapy reduced the lung damage as well as the DAD score, especially obvious in DEX pretreatment group (P<0.05).W/D ratio was obviously increased in other three groups compared to control group, but further comparison showed that W/D ratio was lowered in DEX treatment and pretreatment groups compared to LPS group, especially obvious in DEX pretreatment group (P<0.05).Levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were higher in other three groups than control group, but further comparison showed that levels of TNF-α and IL-6 were decreased in DEX treatment and pretreatment groups compared to LPS group, especially obvious in DEX pretreatment group (P<0.05).Levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in BALF were higher in LPS and DEX treatment groups than control group and were higher in LPS group than DEX treatment(P<0.05).Further comparison showed level of TNF-α in BALF similar between DEX treatment and pretreatment groups (P>0.05), but IL-6 in BALF was significantly lower in DEX pretreatment group than DEX treatment group (P<0.05).Level of total protein in BALF was increased in LPS group compared to control group and was decreased in DEX treatment and pretreatment groups compared to LPS group, but there were no significant differences between DEX treatment and pretreatment groups (P>0.05).Conclusion Either preoperative injection of DEX or DEX treatment has protective effect in rats with LPS-induced ALI, while preoperative injection of DEX has been proved to be more effective.

Objective To investigate motor activity of gastrointestinal tract in patients with slow transit constipation(STC). Methods 42 patients with STC and 20 healthy controls were included in the study. Each subject underwent colonic transit test, gastric emptying, orocecal transit time, electromyography and anorectal manometry. Results According to transit index, 42 STC patients were divided into 3 types: ①0.5

Study the immunological adjuvant function of biodegradable microspheres for DNA immunization. Empty poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolic acid) microspheres were prepared using the water-inoil-in-water(w-o-w)technique; A plasmid DNA pRc-CMV encoding hepatitis B virus S antigen was constructed;The mixture of the microspheres and the plasmid DNA was prepared by incubation method. The mixture was administered to Balb/c mice by intramuscular injection. Result: The high antibody titer (1:1600) of intramuscular injection of the mixture of microspheres and the plasmid DNA was obtained, similar to that of intramuscular injection of the mixture of AL(OH)3 and hepatitis B virus S antigen; while intramuscular injection the plasmid DNA elicited no serum antibody respones. Conclusion: biodegradable microspheres may be used as an good adjuvant for DNA immunization.

Objective To analyze the medium and long-term results of tricuspid valve replacement (TVR)and summarize the operative experience for tricuspid valve disease.Methods Clinical data of 27 patients with severe tricuspid valve disease from September 2005 to May 2010 were retrospectively reviewed.Biological valve prosthesis was replaced in 23 patients,while mechanical valve prosthesis was replaced in 4 patients.Accompanying procedures included mitral valve replacement in 8 cases,mitral valve replacement and aortic valve replacement in 4 cases,and repair of atrial septal defect in 4 cases.Results The operative mortality was 11.1％(3/27),among these patients,2 cases died of serious low cardiac output syndrome,1case died of muhiorgan failure on the 7th day after operation,1 case who underwent reoperation for hemorrhage postoperative was improved after treatment.During follow-up,1 patient died of biological valve prosthesis dysfuncion 3 years after operation,1 patient died of cerebral embolism 19 months after operation.Six cases were in New York Heart Association(NYHA)class Ⅰ,and 14 cases in NYHA class Ⅱ during the period of follow-up.Conclusions Because operative and follow-up mortality is high,TVR is the last selection for the treatment of tricuspid valve disease.Appropriate operative technique and perioperative therapy are the key for clinical success.For those older than 50 years,follow-up inconvenience and reproductive-age female patients,biological valve prosthesis should be recommended as a preferential choice.

Objective To compare the therapeutic effect of two Methodsof in vitro oocyte maturation (IVM) technology with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients in infertility treatment.MethodsRetrospective analysis was performed on patients with PCOS infertility who were stimulated with two different kinds of stimulating method of the IVM cycle in our center during April 2010 and August 2010.There were 20 patients in the temporary FSH stimulating group (group A) and 31 patients in the HCG stimulating group (group B).The number of oocytes maturation rate,fertilization rate,cleavage rate,excellent embryo rate,implantation rate,pregnancy rate per oocyte recycle,pregnancy rate per transfer and abortion rate of transfer were compared.ResultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups of age,duration of infertility,body mass index,based sex hormone levels by t test(P＞0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups of the number of oocytes retrieved,oocyte maturation rate,cleavage rate,and abortion rate of transfer(P＞0.05).In group B,the fertilization rate was 80.3%,good-quality-embryo rate was 49.8%,implantation rate was 31.5%,pregnancy rate per oocyte recycle was 54.8%,which was significantly higher than in group A (73.9%,35.4%,12.5% and 25.0%,respectively).ConclusionsIf IVM was used to treat PCOS patients with infertility,HCG stimulating will be better than FSH stimulating,and it could result in a higher clinical pregnancy rate.

Objective To investigate the trends in and characteristics of syphilis epidemiology in China,and to provide a scientific basis for the development of control strategies.Methods An epidemiological study was performed on syphilis cases reported from 31 provinces,autonomous regions and municipalities between 2000 and 2013.Results The reported syphilis incidence increased yearly from 6.43 per 100 000 person-years in 2000 to 32.86 per 100 000 person-years in 2013,with an average annual growth rate of 13.37％.Syphilis was reported in most (99％) counties/districts in China mainland except for a few remote mountain areas,with a significant difference in the incidence of syphilis between different regions.The regions with a high incidence of syphilis included minority areas in Northwest China (Xinjiang,Qinghai and Ningxia),Minjiang River area,Yangtze River Delta (Zhejiang,Shanghai),Zhujiang River Delta (Guangxi,Guangdong),etc.There had been a rapid increase in the incidence of syphilis in some regions previously reported to have a low incidence (such as Guizhou,Shaanxi,Henan,etc).Among the reported cases,female patients predominated with an average male/female ratio of 0.92 ∶ 1.The incidence of syphilis was highest in the age group of 20-39 years,but increased yearly by more than 30％ in the population aged ＞ 60 years.Of 20 occupations,peasant workers accounted for the highest proportion (31.56％) of syphilis cases,and retired population showed the most rapid increase by about 27.35％ per year.The constituent ratio of primary and secondary syphilis in all the syphilis cases had declined yearly,while that of latent syphilis increased by more than 50％ after 2010.Conclusions Syphilis remains a major public health issue in China,and measures based on the epidemiological features are urgently needed to effectively control epidemic syphilis.
