Objective: To compare the early and long-term outcomes between on-pump and off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in elder female patients.
Methods: A total of 763 female patients elder than 65 years of age received isolated CABG in our hospital from 1999-01 to 2008-12 were retrospectively studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to operational method: On-pump group,n=331 and Off-pump group,n=432. The mortality at 30 days post-operation, in-hospital clinical indexes and long term mortality with MACCE as all cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), stroke and repeated revascularization were compared between 2 groups.
Results: Compared with On-pump group, the patients in Off-pump group had the elder age (P<0.01), with the higher rate of cerebral vascular accident (P=0.023); less family history of coronary artery disease (P=0.012), angina (P<0.001) and emergent operation (P=0.015), less venous distal anastomoses (P<0.001) ; while higher incomplete revascularization (P<0.001). Logistic regression model comparison indicated that Off-pump group had the lower mortality at 30 days post-operation (P=0.038), less application of blood products (P<0.001), lower rate of >24h mechanical ventilation (P<0.001), less renal failure (P=0.022), pulmonary complications (P<0.001) and re-exploration for bleeding (P=0.021). The morbidity of all post-operative complications were similar between 2 groups (P=0.110). Cox regression model comparison showed that long-term all cause mortality (P=0.477) and occurrence of MACCE (P=0.265) were similar between the two groups.
Conclusion: Off-pump CABG would reduce the mortality at 30 days post-operation, have less application of blood products, shorter post-operative mechanical ventilation, less early post-operative renal failure, pulmonary complications and re-exploration for bleeding. While it could not reduce the long-term mortality and MACCE occurrence.

Objective To investigate the interventional effect of multidimensional strategy to reduce the incidence of neonatal ventilator-associated pneumonia.Methods The patients who were admitted to the NICU department and received mechanical ventilation (MV) for more than 48 hours from October 2012 to September 2014 were recruited. The control group received the experienced interventions from October 2012 to September 2013, neonates from October 2013 to September 2014 were recruited as the intervention group receiving multidimensional controlling strategy, including bundle care, education, pro-cess and outcome surveillance and feedback on the practices. The compliance of before-after implementation of interventions were quantitatively evaluated,and the rate of VAP was compared between the two groups.Results The compliance rate of hand hygiene and the qualiifed rate of sputum suction, oral care, drain condensation from ventilator circuit, semi-recumbent posi-tion, and preventing of stress-ulcers were increased 17.0%, 11.4%, 14.7%, 18.2%, 37.5% and 56.3% respectively after implemen-tation of multidimensional strategy, and had statistical difference (χ2=36.47-294.36,P<0.01). But the qualiifed rate of antibiotic use only was 66.1% in the post-VAP bundle phases, and showed no statistical difference before and after(P>0.05). The VAP rate was 41.7 cases per 1000 MV-days during control group and 19.7 cases per 1000 MV-days during intervention group, had statis-tical signiifcance (P<0.05). But the rate of ventilator application showed no statistical difference between two group (P>0.05). ConclusionThe multidimensional strategy can effectively prevent the incidence of VAP.

Objective To study the clinical value of Na+/I-symporter(NIS)expression on thyroid carcinoma diagnosis and 131I therapeutic effects prediction.Methods Thirty-one cases of thyroid carcinomas enrolled in this hospital from 1998 to 2006 were included.Using immunohistochemical method,NIS expression location,positive cell staining and expression intensity were observed,which was calculated by immunohistochemical scores(IHS)and NIS expression level was compared between primary and metastatic carcinoma.Results NIS was over-expressed on the basolateral membrane in positive control——Grave disease tissue,and showed no staining in negative control.NIS was expressed in cytoplasm in all 31 primary carcinomas,and IHS was over or equaled to 4 in 80.65% of them.Except for 2 no staining,NIS was expressed in cytoplasm in the rest 28 metastatic carcinomas.NIS expression was related to the pathological type of thyroid carcinoma,the strongest in PTC,then FTC,and the weakest in fvPTC.NIS expression in metastatic carcinoma was related to that in primary carcinoma.Conclusion NIS is over-expressed in cytoplasm in most thyroid carcinoma,and the iodide uptaking defect is mainly due to its wrong location.It has great potential to be applied in clinic by that it can help with the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid diseases,especially between FTA and FTC,and that it can help predict the therapeutic effects of 131I therapy following thyroid operation.

A study was made on the pharmacokinetic regularity of effective components salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid in Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (SMRR) and Chuanxiong Rhizoma(CR) in rats, so as to discuss the compatibility mechanism of Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma and Chuanxiong Rhizoma. Rats were randomly divided into three groups and intravenously injected with 50 mg x kg(-1) salvianolic acid B for the single SMRR extracts group, 0.5 mg x kg(-1) ferulic acid for the single CR extracts group and 50 mg x kg(-1) salvianolic acid B + 0.5 mg x kg(-1) ferulic acid for the SMRR and CR combination group. The blood samples were collected at different time points and purified by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. With chloramphenicol as internal standard (IS), UPLC was adopted to determine concentrations of salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid. The pharmacokinetic parameters of salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid were calculated with WinNonlin 6.2 software and analyzed by SPSS 19.0 statistical software. The UPLC analysis method was adopted to determine salvianolic acid B and ferulic acid in rat plasma, including linear equation, stability, repeatability, precision and recovery. The established sample processing and analysis methods were stable and reliable, with significant differences in major pharmacokinetic parameters, e.g., area under the curve (AUC), mean residence time (MRT) and terminal half-life (t(1/2)). According to the experimental results, the combined application of SMRR and CR can significantly impact the pharmacokinetic process of their effective components in rats and promote the wide distribution, shorten the action time and prolong the in vivo action time of salvianolic acid B and increase the blood drug concentration and accelerate the clearance of ferulic acid in vivo.

Objective To evaluate the extra-anatomic bypass surgery for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly. Methods From January 2005 to December 2008,33 elderly patients/39 limbs (age ranged from 70 to 87 years, mean 76.0 ± 3.0 years) with aortoiliac occlusive disease were retrospectively analyzed. According to Fontaine classification, there were 5 phase Ⅱ b cases (7 limbs), 22 phase Ⅲ cases (26 limbs), and 6 phase Ⅳ cases (6 limbs), all cases were with TASC C, D lesions. Results These 33 cases/39 limbs were tr eated with a variety of bypass, including axillobifemoral bypass (6 cases/12 limbs) ,axillofemoral bypass ( 20 cases/20 limbs ), femorofemoral bypass ( 7 cases/7 limbs ). Intermittent claudication improved in 5 cases, rest pain disappeared in 22 cases, and ulcers healed in 6 cases after operations. The mean ABI increased from 0.29 ± 0.11 to 0.66 ± 0.13 ( t = 2.69, P ＜ 0.05 ). All limbs were salvaged and there was no perioperative mortality within 30 days after operations. Postoperative complication rate was 9.1%. Patients were followed up for a median of 12 ±5 months (range, 6 to 28 months), primary patency rate was 89.7% (35/39), secondary patency rate was 94.9% (37/39), limb salvage rate was 92.3% (36/39). After dischargement the mortality was 6.1% (2/33) with one dying of myocardial infarction and another one of malignant tumor (gastric cancer). Conclusions Extra-anatomic bypass for aorto-iliac occlusive disease in the elderly is feasible, safe and effective, and the cardiopulmonary dysfunctions are the major risk factors for perioperative complications.
