Objective To determine whether isometric handgrip exercise can increase collateral flow to the ischemic myocardium in acute coronary occlusion patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods Sixty-five patients with one-vessel CAD were randomly assigned to either an isometric exercise (IME) group or no-exercise (NE) group.Patients in the IME group performed isometric handgrip exercises (50％ of the maximum voluntary contraction) during 1 min of coronary balloon occlusion.Patients in the NE group remained sedentary during the procedure.The collateral flow index (CFI),heart rare (HR),systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were determined prior to and at the end of 1 min of coronary occlusion.Results In the IME group the average CFI improved significantly more during the occlusion than in the NE group.The differences in HR,SBP and DBP were also significantly grcatcr in the CFI group than in the NE group controls.Conclusion Isometric exercise can induce significantly increased coronary collateral flow in CAD patients during acute vessel occlusion.

BACKGROUND:More and more elderly patients have hip fractures because of diverse reasons, and most of the fractures are unstable fractures combined with the displacement of the lesser trochanter. At present, there are stil many reports about using dynamic hip screw to repair unstable intertrochanteric fractures, and the effect is obvious. However, there are stil great controversies regarding whether lesser trochanter fixation is performed during the repair process. OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect of using dynamic hip screw combined with the lesser trochanter fixation to repair intertrochanteric fractures and the occurrence of hip coxa vara after repair through a meta-analysis. METHODS:The PubMed, EMCC, CBM, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases were retrieved by computer for randomized controled trials on whether lesser trochanter reduction fixation was performed during the process of dynamic hip screw internal fixation for repair of intertrochanteric fractures. The quality of the included studies was evaluated according to the pre-designated inclusion and exclusion criteria. The available data were extracted and analyzed using the RevMan5.2 software. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A total of 10 randomized controled trials involving 604 patients were included. Among them, 298 cases were assigned to the dynamic hip screw combined with lesser trochanter fixation group, and 306 cases to the lesser trochanter unfixed group. The meta-analysis results indicated that hip coxa vara, other postoperative complications, the excelent and good rate of efficacy in the dynamic hip screw combined with lesser trochanter fixation group were al superior to those in the lesser trochanter unfixed group (alP < 0.000 1), and for hip coxa vara, the parameters were odds ratio=0.17, 95% confidence interval (0.07, 0.41),Z=3.99,P< 0.000 1. The operation time and the amount of blood loss in the lesser trochanter unfixed group were superior to those in the dynamic hip screw combined with lesser trochanter fixation group (alP < 0.000 1). These results suggest that the lesser trochanter unfixed therapy has the advantages of relatively simple operation, shorter operative time and less blood loss during the process of dynamic hip screw internal fixation for repair of unstable intertrochanteric fractures. However, the excelent and good rates of efficacy, hip coxa vara and other postoperative complications were superior in patients with intertrochanteric fracture above the Tronzo-Evans III type who received dynamic hip screw combined with lesser trochanter fixation to those who received lesser trochanter unfixed therapy. The results indicate that dynamic hip screw combined with lesser trochanter fixation for repair of intertrochanteric fracture is beneficial to prevent hip coxa vara and other complications.

BacKground:The mechanism of diabetic gastrointestinaI dysmotiIity is stiII uncIear. More and more studies showed that gastrointestinaI smooth muscIe derived factors pIay an important roIe in gastrointestinaI dysmotiIity. RecentIy,the roIe of RhoA/ROCK signaIing pathway in diabetic compIications become a research hotspot. Aims:To investigate the possibIe roIe of RhoA/ROCK signaIing pathway in diabetic coIon dysmotiIity by examining the expressions of major signaIing moIecuIes in diabetic coIon muscIe. Methods:NormaI coIon tissue sampIes taken from patients undergoing radicaI surgery for coIonic cancer from Sept. 2012 to Dec. 2013 at the First AffiIiated HospitaI of Nanjing MedicaI University were coIIected. According to gIycated hemogIobin IeveI,the patients were divided into diabetes meIIitus( DM)group and controI group. The expressions of major signaIing moIecuIes in RhoA/ROCK1 signaIing pathway incIuding RhoA,ROCK1,MYPT1 and p-MYPT1 were determined by immunohistochemistry or Western bIotting. Results:Immunohistochemistry showed that expression of RhoA protein in DM group was significantIy Iower than that in controI group(P<0. 05). Western bIotting showed that expression IeveIs of RhoA,ROCK1 and p-MYPT1 proteins were significantIy Iower in DM group than in controI group(0. 62 ± 0. 42 vs. 1. 15 ± 0. 69,0. 54 ± 0. 09 vs. 0. 75 ± 0. 05,0. 70 ± 0. 28 vs. 1. 04 ± 0. 47;P<0. 05),whereas no significant difference in expression IeveI of MYPT1 protein was found between DM group and controI group(0. 94 ± 0. 50 vs. 1. 21 ± 0. 80,P>0. 05). Conclusions:The inhibition of RhoA/ROCK signaIing pathway in diabetic coIon muscIe may have some correIation with diabetic coIon dysmotiIity.

Objective: To explore the effect of the new vaginal douche device on vaginal irrigation before ovulation extraction in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer. Methods: From August 2017 to April 2018, 100 cases of infertility patients admitted to the first hospital of reproductive and gynecology of Jilin University who had to undergo ovulectomy were selected and divided into 50 cases in the experimental group and 50 cases in the control group according to the random number table. In the test group, a new type of vaginal irrigator was used for vaginal irrigation one day before the operation, while in the control group, a disposable enema was used for vaginal irrigation. The vaginal cleanliness and comfort of the two groups were compared after washing. Results: Vaginal cleanliness was compared between the two groups. Bacterial culture of vaginal secretions was positive in 2 patients in the experimental group, with a positive rate of 4%. In the control group, bacterial culture of vaginal secretions was positive in 14 patients, with a positive rate of 28%. Vaginal cleanliness was better in the experimental group than in the control group (χ²=10.714, P=0.001). In the experimental group, there were 2 cases of discomfort, 10 cases of discomfort, 29 cases of comfort, and 9 cases of comfort. In the control group, there were 8 cases of discomfort and 17 cases of discomfort. The comfort level of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=-2.271, P=0.023). Conclusions The operation method of the new vaginal douche is simple and soft, which can not only effectively and thoroughly clean the vagina, reduce the incidence of infection, but also increase the comfort level of patients, alleviate psychological fear and improve patient satisfaction.
