Objective To correlate vWF expression in the endothelium of transitional pulmonary arterioles from lung biopsy in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) secondary to left-to-right shunt congenital heart defects (CHD). The results will be compared to vWF expression in peripheral venous plasma pre-operatively and the early post-operative outcome. Methods Consecutive 70 cases of left-to-right shunt congenital heart defects were involved in the study, the age ranged from 4 months to 63 years. Pulmonary systolic pressure/systemic systolic pressure (Pp/Ps) was calculated from Swan-Ganz floating catheter monitoring before corrective operation. PH was found in 62 cases, with slight PH in 16, moderated PH in 24 and severe PH in 22. Non-PH in 8 cases. Twenty-six cases of non-heart and lung disease were involved in as control. Lung biopsy tissue was stained for routine pathologic classification and quantitative vWF expression, with testing vWF in the peripheral venous blood. Post-operative complication was noted. Results There was a statistically difference of vWF expression in the endothelium of pulmonary transitional arterioles between PH group and non-PH group, with reducing intensity in order of non-PH, slight Ph, moderate PH and severe PH. A negative relationship was statistically noted between Pp/Ps and vWF expression in the arteriole endothelium (=61.88-33.30x, r=-0.701, P

BACKGROUND: Tendon injury is common in clinic, which is mainly treated by surgical anastomosis. Postoperative tendon healing is usually assessed through surgeons' experience due to high cost and application restrictions of MRI examination. Thus there is still a lack of a convenient and objective imaging support. With the advancement and widespread application of high-frequency ultrasound, the diagnosis rate of tendon injury has been improved remarkably; thereafter, high-frequency ultrasound used for assessing tendon injury and repair has become an issuehas become an issue of concern.OBJECTIVE: To clarify the ultrasonic imaging features of tendon repair through high-frequency ultrasound scancombined with histological examination.METHODS: This was a single-central, preoperative and self-controlled animal experiment and finished in the Central People'sHospital of Siping, China. 130 adult male Highbrow chickens were selected and were then randomized into 13 groups (n=10per group). One side of each chicken hind foot was randomly selected as experimental limb to undergo achillotomy followedby repair using the modified Kessler method (groups 2-13) or no treatment (group 1); the contralateral limb served as control.Moreover, passive flexion-extension functional training targeting the experimental limbs was performed in the groups 8-13beginning at the 1st day after surgical anastomosis, several times a day. The high-frequency ultrasound and hematoxylineosinstaining were conducted before and after chillotomy (group 1), and at 3 (groups 2 and 8), 7 (groups 3 and 9), 14 (groups4 and 10), 21 (groups 5 and 11), 35 (groups 6 and 12) and 42 (groups 7 and 13) days after surgical anastomosis, respectively.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The primary measurement outcomes were the repair and healing of the injured tendonas assessed by high-frequency ultrasound; the secondary outcomes were the pathological manifestations of the injuredtendon detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Our findings will provide preclinical proof for high-frequency ultrasounduse in the assessment of tendon injury, repair and healing as well as for the rehabilitation therapy that promotes functionrecovery in the future.

Objective To confirm the safety and nutritional efficacy of high branched-chain amino acids through a pragmatic study allowing its use as an alternative to 15AA in patients with liver dysfunction. Methods The study was performed as a randomized, prospective trial. Eighty two patients with liver dysfunction undergoing operation were randomly assigned to receive high branchedchain amino acids or 15AA as part of their TPN regimens for 7 days. Daily parenteral intakes of energy nitrogen and lipid were equal in the two groups. Results Efficacy analysis showed that high branched-chain amino acids were as efficient as 15AA in avoiding protein catablosim. No serious adverse event was reported in the two groups. For hematology, renal, hepatic safety criteria and for the vital signs,no significant difference was observed between the 2 groups. No significant difference was observed concerning nitrogen balance and protein catablosim. For peripheral immunoglobulin and lymphocytes, a statistically significant difference was observed between the high branched-chain amino acids and the 15AA groups. Conclusion High branched-chain amino acids is new, safe and efficient amino acids for parenteral nutrition.
