Objective: To observe the midterm outcomes of“2-staged”hybrid coronary revascularization (HCR) for treating the patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD) and to evaluate the feasibility, safety and effcacy of“2-staged”HCR.
Methods: A total of 73 relevant patients received elective “2-staged” HCR in our hospital from 2012-01 to 2014-06 were studied. There were 50 (68.5%) male and 23 (31.5%) female at the age of (61.1±10.7) years and all patients had multi coronary artery lesions including left anterior descending (LAD) artery. The key points of“2-staged”HCR were as follows:double-chamber intubation with general anesthesia, small incision between 4-5 ribs of left front thorax, take left internal mammary artery (LIMA) by direct view and make anastomosis of LIMA and LAD with heartbeat. At (3-5) days post-minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass (MIDCAB), coronary angiography (CAG) was conducted to confirm that LIMA-LAD bypass vessel was unobstructed; then percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was performed in non-LAD coronary artery for stent implantation. Post-operative echocardiography, chest X-ray and ECG were examined in each year;coronary CTA or CAG would be taken if the patients with myocardial ischemia.
Results: All patients finished“2-staged”HCR smoothly and no operative death occurred. The average surgical time was (152.9±43.8) min and (2.6±0.5) coronary branches were treated, total post-operative drainage volume was (558.6±441.3) ml, red blood cell transfusion was (0.8±1.9) U, mechanical ventilation time was (10.5±13.0) h. The interval between MIDCAB and PCI was (5.3±2) days and (1.6±0.7) stents was implanted. During post-operative follow-up period, there 1 (1.4%) patient died, 3 (4.1%) with recurrent myocardial ischemia, 1 (1.4%) with in-stent restenosis and received PCI again, 4 (5.5%) with MACCE.
Conclusion: “2-staged”HCR is a safe and feasible operation with satisfactory peri-operative and mid-term outcomes;it is suitable for the patients with multi-vessel CAD including severe LAD lesions.

Objective To find out the defects of nursing documents and the interrelated causes and to propose measures for improvement through investigating the status of nursing documents quality of 10 general hospitals in Harbin, with the aim of providing valuable reference for sustainable improvement of nursing documents. Methods Using stratified sampling method, five secondary general hospitals and five tertiary general hospitals were randomly selected in Harbin. Nursing documents of general surgery and cardiac care were investigated, 909 nursing documents from November 2008 to May 2009 were researched, including 262 documents of surgical department and 265 cases of medical department in tertiary hospitals. Surgical department 178 and medical department 204 in secondary hospitals. Combined literature method, spot field investigation and personal interview , the status were researched, the data were analyzed. Results The nursing documents quality assessment of the objective hospitals showed that: the average scores of surgical departments and medical departments in tertiary hospitals were 97. 20 and 97.26, respectively; scores of surgical departments and medical departments were 97.64 and 98.22 in secondary hospitals. The medical documents qualities of the secondary hospitals were better than the tertiary hospitals'; The surgical nursing documents qualities had statistical difference. Critical care nursing records had the best quality. The main problems are: scratch, sticky,coating, the wrong date, the content of records are incomplete, illegible handwriting, the wrong records of the dynamics of blood pressure, and so on. Conclusions In general hospital of harbin city, the overall quality of nursing documents are good, but there are still some problems. The main causes of nursing documents defects are the shortage of nurses, awareness of the law, indifferent sense of duty, nurses professional and cultural qualities which need to be improved, lack of health care communication and insufficient administrative supervision.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of the different immunosuppression therapy on CD4(+)Foxp3(+)regulatory T cells (CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells) in the peripheral blood monocytes of kidney transplantation recipients.

METHODSA Closed Cohort study was conducted in 50 primary living kidney transplant recipients between January 2006 and January 2008, who had been followed up for 1 year. The recipients divided into calcineurin inhibitors group (CNI + MMF + Pred) (19 recipients, including cyclosporin group 10 recipients and tacrolimus group 9 recipients), rapamycin group (RAPA + MMF + Pred) (31 recipients). Twenty end-stage renal disease patients were in control group. The frequency of CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells in total CD4(+)T cells was analyzed by flow cytometry in peripheral blood from three groups, results were compared.

RESULTSThe clinical variables of recipients such as age, sex, cold ischemia time, human leucocyte antigen mismatch, panel reaction antibody, rejection episode were no significant difference. The percentage of CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells in total CD4(+) cells was significantly higher in rapamycin group and end-stage renal disease group than calcineurin inhibitors group (P < 0.01). The level of CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Treg cells between cyclosporin group and tacrolimus group was no significant difference (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONThe level of CD4(+)Foxp3(+)Treg was significantly higher in patients receiving RAPA + MMF + Pred than the patients receiving CNI + MMF + Pred, which suggested that RAPA may be play a more important role in immune tolerance induction.
