OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the status quo and tendency of the utilization of lipid-lowering drugs in our hospital.METHODS:The utilization of lipid-lowering drugs in our hospital between 2005 and 2008 was analyzed statistically by ranking consumption sum and DDDs.RESULTS:The consumption sum of lipid-lowering drugs had a sharp increase during 2007～2008 as compared with 2005～2006,its proportion in the drugs for cardiovascular diseases increased to some degree.During 2007～2008,Statins took the first two places on the annual consumption list,its use gained popularity and its DDDs increased.The application of Fibrates also took an upward trend.CONCLUSION:The use of lipid-lowering drugs in our hospital had been on the rise,with Statins and Fibrates took the predominant places,which is in line with the requirement of evidence-based medicine.

The effect of traditional therapy is limited for liver cancer,gene therapy gets more and more recognition in recent years.Oncolysis virus is a kind of conditionally replicating virus,with special reproductivity in cancer cells,and then kills them.Gene agents are usually introduced into tumor tissue by intra-tumor and intra-arterial injection,and the technique of interventional therapy is able to satisfy the demand excellently.So,some breakthrough is expected in treating liver cancer by skillfully combining oncolysis virus and interventional technique

In recent years, the number of outpatients in stomatological hospital is in increasing year by year and being accompanied by the corresponding medical risks. One of the risks which may endanger the patient life is medical emergency which need emergency treatment by the dentists in dental clinical practice. The most common emergency type is syncope, followed by hyperventilation, drug overdose, adrenaline reaction and hypertension, etc. Unexpected events mainly occurred at the end of the treatment and before leaving the dental clinic, during or immediately after the local anesthesia, in the treatment process. Tooth extraction related emergency is the most frequently occurring emergency, followed by the local anesthesia related ones. It's strongly suggested that dentists should pay more attention to outpatient clinical emergency treatment, and related knowledge and skills training should be offered to improve the ability to handle medical emergencies.

Objective To observe the relationship between blood stasis syndrome and clinical pathology in patients with IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Methods Clinical and pathological materials of 42 patients with blood stasis syndrome,and 73 patients with non blood stasis syndrome were analyzed. Result Patients with blood stasis syndrome are often female and accompanied with renal dysfunction. Compared with patients of non blood stasis syndrome,Lee’s grades were obviously higher,degrees of fibrinogen-related antigen (FRA) deposited in renal were stronger,and scores or ratio of tubular atrophy significantly were higher. Conclusion Blood stasis syndrome of IgAN is correlated with certain renal pathological changes. Blood stasis is the main etiological factor.

Objective To summarize the experience of interventional catheterization conjoined with cardiac surgical procedures performed in 23 children with congenital heart disease(CHD). Methods 12 cases with residual patent ductus arteriosus after surgical ligation and 2 postoperative cases with severe cyanosis CHD with leftover ventricular septal defect (VSD) received transcatheter closure procedures. 2 children with branch pulmonary stenosis after total correction of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) received angioplasty and stent placement, respectively. Another postoperative case with aortopulmonary collateral arteries (APCAs) angiorrhexis underwent transcatheter haemostasis. 6 cases underwent interventional catheterization in the preoperative period. 5 cases with transposition of great arteries (TGA) underwent balloon atrial septostomy (BAS) before artery switch procedure and 1 case of TOF underwent APCAs transcatheter occlusion before total correction. Results All cases with residual left to right shunts after surgery were occluded by transcatheter therapy. Interventional catheterization procedure relieved stenosis of branch pulmonary artery in postoperative case with TOF. Haemorrhage was stopped with embolization of ruptured APCAs. Hypoxia and acidosis improved after BAS therapy in 5 cases with TGA and intact ventricular septum and 3 survived from following artery switch procedure while 2 died. The APCAs was transcatheter occluded before TOF total correction. Conclusion Interventional catheterization therapy conjoined with cardiac surgical procedure was an effective and essential method in some postoperative CHD cases and in some of complex cyanosis CHD cases.

Objective To evaluate the results of direct anastomosis between the main pulmonary artery and right ventricle in the repair of complex congenital heart disease. Methods Between March 2001 and June 2004, seventeen patients with complex congenital heart disease underwent direct anastomosis between the main pulmonary artery and right ventricle. Among them, eleven patients were under 3 years old. Six patients had pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (VSD), 4 had transposition of the great arteries and VSD, 4 persistent truncus arteriosus and 3 TOF with coronary artery straddling RVOT. Twelve patients underwent one stage complete corrective repair and 5 patients received staged procedures. Results There was 1 operative death with hospital mortality of 5.9%. Three out of 5 staged patients succeeded in the second corrective repair. At follow-up ranging from 1 to 40 months, all patients were growing well and their heart function were in NYHA class 0 or I. Conclusion Direct anastomosis between the main pulmonary artery and right ventricle can provide good results in the repair of certain complex congenital heart disease, especially in infant patients without suitable homograft.

Objective To summarize clinical characteristics, diagnosis and surgery of abnormally origination of left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery. Methods Clinical data of 10 patients with left coronary artery abnormally originating from pulmonary artery were analyzed, including 5 men and 5 women, aged from 13 to 40 years. Definite diagnosis was made by ultrasonic cardiogram (UCG) and cardiac catheter examination. Three cases were simply abnormal origination, six cases combined with MI, and one case combined with both MI and ventricular aneurysm of left ventricular apex. Ligation of the abnormal coronary artery was done in four patients, three were given pulmonary artery inner tunnel plasty under extrocorporeal circulation. Open implantation of left coronary artery to ascending aorta were done in 3 patients, while plasty of mitral valve were performed in 5 and ventricular aneurysm resection in 1. Results One patient died postoperatively. The follow-up ranged from 1 month to 11 years. One patient received replacement of mitral valve 16 months after first surgery due to severe MI. All the followed-up patients presented no myocardial ischemia or infarction, no residual shunt or late death. Cardiac function was rehabilitated to grade 1. Conclusion Obvious blood dynamics and cardiovascular morphology changes existed in patients with left coronary artery abnormally originating from pulmonary artery. Early diagnosis and surgery should be done. Proper surgical approach is the key to success.
