Chinese Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery 2011;27(2):93-96
Objective To describe the preoperative factors of prolonged intensive care unit length of stay after coronary artery bypass grafting. Methods From 1997 to 2009, 1318 patients underwent isolated CABG in our hospital. Retrospective analysis was performed on these cases. Univariate and multivariate analyses for preoperative risk factors were performed. Prolonged length of ICU stay was defined as initial admission to ICU exceeding 72 h. Results The mean age of patients ( 322women and 996 men) was (67.4±9.4) years. Of 1318 patients undergoing isolated CABG from 1997 to 2009, 205 experienced prolonged length of ICU stay. The length of ICU stay was (40.1 ± 22.5 ) hours and ( 122.6 ± 48.7 ) hours separately.Overall in-hospital mortality was higher among these 205 patients ( 13.7% vs. 1.2%, P <0.05 ). The overall mortality was 3.1%. In univariate analyses, there were statistically significant differences with respect to the percentage of CPB, total bypass time, cross-clamp time, number of distal anastomoses, use of pressor agent, use of intro-aortic balloon pump,time of ventilation and hospital mortality. The significant risk factors were age, NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ, left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) <0.40, renal failure, cerebrovascular and/or peripheral vascular disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, recent acute myocardial infarction, prior percutaneous coronary intervention, left main stenosi, three-vessels disease. The variables entered into the multivariate logistic regression were age, NYHA class Ⅲ/Ⅳ, LVEF <0.40, renal failure, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, recent acute myocardial infarction, prior percutaneous coronary intervention, three-vessels disease. According to the outcome of multivariate logistic regression, we can conclude the model of probability forecast and create a new variable named Pre. The area under ROC curve of the new variable Pre was larger than other variables. Conclusion The main risk factors of prolonged ICU length of stay were LVEF < 0.40, recent acute myocardial infarction, renal failure and chronic obstructive pulmorary disease. The AUC of variable Pre was higher than other' s , which indicated that new variable Pre combining each variable was more valuable than single variable with respect to prediction. A predicted probability of 0. 754 was used as cut-off point for the prognostic test.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of Memotherm TM stent,a type of metallic stent in the management of secondary ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Methods From October 1995 to June 2001,13 cases (10 males and 3 females,mean age of 41 years) of secondary ureteropelvic junction obstruction underwent the Memotherm TM stenting.They were all followed up for an average of 26 months by B ultrasound,IVU,radionuclide renography and ureteroscopy. Results Of the 13 case,8 were cured,and 3 achieved improvement,while 2 cases failed.The main complications of endoprosthetic fibrotic stricture occurred in 5 cases.The forceps or YAG laser through ureteroscopy was used to remove the endoprosthetic fibrotic tissues. Conclusions Memotherm TM stent is mostly effective in the treatment of patients with secondary ureteropelvic junction obstruction,especially for patients who has undergone multiple operations or those are ineligible for open surgery.This procedure can significantly reduce the recurrence of ureterostenosis.

Objective To summarize the causes of failed drainage of double J ureteral stents following ureteroscopy. Methods From June 2000 to March 2003,the double J ureteral stents were placed for 3972 patients (2184 males and 1788 females)following ureteroscopy.The stents were placed through retrograde approach in 3138 cases,through antegrade approach in 1497 cases.The patients were followed up until the ureteral stents were retrieved. Results Of the 4635 cases,failed drainage of double J ureteral stent was found in 115 cases (2.48%).The main causes were severe extra luminal obstruction,serious steinstrasse,severe ureteral stricture and overperiod placement of ureteral stents. Conclusions Correctly identifying the indications for ureteroscopy and the placement of double J ureteral stents as well as close follow up are the keys to reduce the failure rate of drainage of double J ureteral stents following ureteroscopy.

Objective To study the possible protective mechanisms of Anisodamine against liver injury induced by hemorrhage shock(HS). Methods In this study, we established animal models induced by HS and endotoxin, observed the expressions of NF-?B mRNA and heat shock protein 70(HSP 70) mRNA by In-situ hybridization (ISH) in liver kupffercells(KC) and studied the pathologic changes of the liver tissue by microscope. Results After stimulus of HS and injection of endotoxin, the mRNA expressions of HSP70 and NF-?B in KC were (0.1565?0.0260) and (0.1659?0.0103),respectively, and significantly higher than those in the control group (0.0328?0.0201; 0.0256?0.0043)(P

[Objective] To study the effect of anti-infective reconstituted bone xenograft(ARBX)on treating chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis as one-stage grafting.[Method]ARBX was used to treat 24 cases of chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis as one-stage grafting after debridement since September of 2001,17 cases of which were followed up for an average period of 34 months(range,12 to 79 months).[Result]Except 1 case failed to cure,and 1 resulted in recurrence of infection,and 1 with large segmental bone defect nonunion post-operatively,other 14 cases were cured,the cure rate was 82.4% which was better than traditional therapy.[Conclusion]ARBX has high osteoinductive activity and enhanced anti-infective capability,which enables it to be used as primary grafting to treat chronic hematogenous osteomyelitis.

Objective To investigate the effects of spindle poisons (Vincristine, VCR and Colchicine, COL) on the tk gene of mouse lymphoma cells. Methods L5178Y cells were treated with VCR and COL at different concentrations. Determination of cytotoxicity, cell inoculation efficiency, relative survival rate, relative suspension growth rate and mutation frequency was performed. Results The relative survival rate and suspension growth rate of L5178Y cells decreased significantly with the increasing doses of VCR and COL. The mutation frequency of tk gene induced by VCR (0.5~2.5 ng/ml) and COL(10~50 ng/ml) was 1~3 times higher than that of spontaneous mutation frequency of L5178Y cells. Conclusion VCR and COL have obvious cytotoxic and mutagenic effects on tk gene in L5178Y cells.
