66 patients with sick sinus syndrome were enrolled in this study. All patients meeting the indications for dual chamber pacing were randomly divided into two groups: right atrial appendage(RAA) pacing group was made up of 36 patients and low atrial septal(LAS) pacing group was made up of 30 patients. Follow-up was 12 months. The incidence of atrial fibrillation(AF) was lower in LAS group(3. 3% ) compared with the RAA group(19. 4% );P wave dispersion in RAA group was significantly higher than that in the LAS group (P < 0. 01). After 3 months of the operation, left atrial volume index(LAVI) in RAA group was significantly larger than that in the LAS group. In LAS group compared with the RAA group P wave dispersion and LAVI were significantly lower after operation in sick sinus syndrome. LAS pacing was superior to RAA pacing in preventing new atrial fibrillation.

Objective To discuss the protective effect of carbon nanoparticles lymphatic tracer on parathyroid glands in the operation of thyroid carcinoma. Methods Retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 65 thyroid carcinoma patients from January 2014 to October 2014, and they were divided into 2 groups according to whether injected with carbon nanoparticles. The experimental group (30 cases) were injected with carbon nanoparticles in thyroidglands before major procedure, while the control group (35 cases) were not injected. In the experimental group, there were 22 cases accepted total thyroidectomy of the affected side gland + isthmus thyroidectomy + subtotal thyroidectomy of the offside gland, and 8 cases of total thyroidectomy. In the control group, there were 25 cases accepted total thyroidectomy of the affected side gland + isthmus thyroidectomy + subtotal thyroidectomy of the offside gland,and 10 cases of total thyroidectomy. And all the 65 cases ac-cepted centrallymph nodes dissection. Results After carbon nanoparticles injection, central lymph nodes became black while parathyroid glands did not become black. The experimental group showed (2. 6 ± 0. 8) parathyroids each patient, and no parathyroid was cut by mis-take;the control group showed (1. 9 ± 0. 7) parathyroids each patient, and 3 parathyroids were cut by mistake. and the difference between the two groups was statistical meaningful (P<0. 05). There was no permanent hypoparathyroidism in the two groups. There was 1 cases of temporary hypoparathyroidism occured in the experimental group, and 3 cases occured in the control group, and there was no statistical sig-nificance difference between the two groups. Conclusion Carbon nanoparticles is benefit to the identification of parathyroid in surgery, and it can reduce the incidence of inadvertent parathyroidectomy, but it cann’ t reduce the incidence of hypoparathyroidism after procedure.

Objective To evaluate the value of cholangiography for early diagnosis of ischemic-type biliary lasions(ITBL) after liver transplantation. Methods Two hundred and fifty-three patients with liver transplantaion between Jan 2004 and Oct 2006 were recruited. Initial cholangiography was compared with terminal cholangiography to evaluate the value of initial cholangiography of ITBL. The t test, Chi-square test, sum rank test were used for statistics. Results Based on initial cholangiography, 189 patients were diagnosed with normal appearance, while 64 patients were diagnosed with abnormal appearance. The abnormal initial cholangiography appearances included poor filling in 33 patients and irregularity in 31 patients. Based on terminal cholangiogruphy, 199 patients were diagnosed with normal appearance and 54 patients with ITBL In patients with abnormal initial cholangiography, ITBL was occurred in 39 of 64 patients including 10 of 33 poor frlling patients and 29 of 31 irregularity patients. In patients with normal initial appearance, ITBL was only occurred in 15 of 189 patients. The abnormal initial cholangiography was associated with ITBL significantly (X2 = 79.999, P = 0.000, r = 0.490). Initial cholangiography had an overall sensitivity of 72.22%, and specificity of 87.44%, with positive and negative predictive values of 60.94% and 92.06%, respectively. The abnormal initial cholangiogruphy was a risk factor of ITBL by logistic regression analyses(OR=15.193, P=0.000). Conclusion The abnormal initial cholangiography is associated with ITBL Initial cholangiography, especially minimal irregular of intrabepatic biliary tract, is a sensitive and specific method for the detection of ITBL after liver transplantation.
