Objective:To explore the clinical characteristics of senile degenerative valvular heart disease (SDHVD)compli-cated heart failure (HF).Methods:A total of 68 SDHVD + HF patients were enrolled as SDHVD + HF group,another 62 aged HF patients without valvular calcification in the same period were enrolled as HF control group.Characteristics of two groups were analyzed.Results:Compared with HF control group,there were significant rise in percentages of severe cardiac dysfunction (NYHA class III:19.35% vs.38.24%,NYHA class IV:35.49% vs.55.88%),incidence rates of at-rial premature (17.74% vs.38.24%),sinoatrial block (22.58% vs.50.00%),atrial fibrillation (27.42% vs.52.94%), paroxysmal atrial tachycardia (30.65% vs.48.53%),atrioventricular block (33.87% vs.52.94%)and bundle branch block (25.81% vs.48.53%)in SDHVD + HF group,P <0.05 or <0.01. Conclusion:When SDHVD patients compli-cate with HF,the HF degree aggravates and incidence rate of arrhythmia rises.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of subcutaneous negative pressure suction cosmetic suture with anti L incision in liver surgery.Methods A total of 140 patients who received liver surgery in general surgery department of our hospital from March 2015 to April 2016 were randomly selected,of which 70 cases received cosmetic suture with negative pressure drainage (observation group),the other 70 cases treated with conventional suture(control group).The repair times,the healing of the incision of two groups were observed and analyzed.Results Compared with the control group,the repair time and hospital stays of patients in observation group were significantly shorter than those of the control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion Cosmetic suture with negative pressure drainage is effective to shorten the repair time,reduce the incidence of incision fat liquefaction and infection,while ensuring the aesthetic level of the incision.

BACKGROUND:Autologous split-thickness skin grafting is the main therapy for burn repair at functional sites, which has achieved certain effects, but there are stil some deficiencies, such as poor texture, stiffness and poor toughness, as wel as severer hyperplasia that is easy to result in contracture deformity and poor functional recovery. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the clinical efficacy of skin co-transplantation on burn repair at functional sites. METHODS:Sixty patients with burns at functional sites (n=84) were randomized into two groups: co-transplantation of acelular dermis and autologous split-thickness skin in experimental group and autologous split-thickness skin graft in control group. Survival rate of skin flap and rate of secondary operation were compared between two groups. At 1 month after transplantation, Vancouver Scar Scale was used to assess skin color, thickness, blood vessel distribution and flexibility, and meanwhile, the severity of scar was determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival rate of skin flap was significantly higher in the experimental group than the control group (93%vs. 70%,P < 0.05), and the rate of secondary operation was significantly lower in the experimental group compared with the control group (0vs. 13%,P < 0.05). At 1 month after transplantation, scores on the skin color, thickness, blood vessel distribution and flexibility were al lower in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05), but the incidence of mild hyperplasia in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (52% vs. 29%,P < 0.05). These findings indicate that co-transplantation of acelular alogeneic dermis and autologous split-thickness skin for burn repair at functional sites can effectively enhance the survival rate of skin flap, reduce the rate of secondary operation, contribute to wound healing and reduce the severity of hyperplasia.

Objective To compare serum potassium concentrations in type 2 diabetic and nondiabetic patients in the early phase of acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods Seven hundred and forty-five consecutive patients with ACS underwent cardiac catheterization from January, 1999 to March, 2003. Patients were stratified by duration of symptoms,type2diabetes,and?-receptor blocker therapy before admission. Results Serum potassium concentration was significantly higher in type 2 diabetic patients with ACS than that in nondiabetic patients with ACS 〔(4.34?0.48)mmol/L vs (4.00?0.52)mmol/L,P

The sella MRIand CT of 11 patients with primary pituitary dwarfism (PPD) were evaluated in this study. The results revealed that MRI could find the aplasia of the pituitary and the abnormality of the pituitary stalk and pituitary posterior lobe, while CT only could show the disapperance of the pituitary and not the morphology of the pituitary and its posterior lobe. The CT scanning of the pituitary stalk was less clear than that of MRI. It is suggested that MRI has better tissue contrast and sensitivity, especially to the display of slight structure. Besides, the sella abnormality in MRI provides an important morphological basis for diagnosis and treatment of PPD.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms involved in cucurmosin-induced apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell SW1990.Methods The expression of EGFR,PI3K,Akt,Bad,Caspase -9,mTOR,P70S6K-α,and 4E BP1 at the protein level were detected by western blot analysis,and RTPCR was used to determine EGFR mRNA expression.Results An increased concentration of cucurmosin showed a subsequent decrease in the expression of EGFR,PI3K,Akt,mTOR,P70S6Kα,and 4E -BP1,whereasthe expression of Bad and Caspase-9 were elevated.However,the mRNA expression of EGFR was unchanged.Conclusion Cucurmosin is shown to induce the apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell SW1990 by down regulating the expression of EGFR and thus inactivating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of recombinant human brain natriuretic peptide (rh-BNP) combined with levosimendan on acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure.Methods Patients who suffered from anterior wall acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with heart failure (KillipⅡ ～ Ⅲ) within 12 to 24 hours after the onset of chest pain were randomized into two groups: the control group (n=30, receiving dobutamine and/or cedilanid) and the experimental group (n=30, receiving rh-BNP combined with levosimendan).The hemodynamics, parameters of laboratory tests and adverse events were observed before and after treatment.Results The experimental group showed that the respiratory rate (RR), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), arterial blood gas oxygen saturation (SaO2), cardiac index (CI), extravascular lung water index (EVLWI) were significantly different between 2 h and sequential time points after treatment and pre-treatment (allP＜0.05).The control group showed that RR, HR, SaO2, CI, EVLWI were significantly different between 6 h and sequential time points after treatment and pre-treatment (P＜0.05 for all).There were significant differences in RR, HR, SBP, SaO2, CI, EVLWI at 2 h and 6 h after treatment between the two groups (P＜0.05 for all).Parameters of RR, HR, CI, EVLWI at 72 h after treatment had differences between the experimental group and controls.Patients in the experimental group presented larger urine volume, lower level of plasma NT-pro BNP, higher left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and shorter length of stay in CCU as compared with patients in the control group (P＜0.05 for all).In adverse events monitoring in hepatic parameters, electrolyte level and coagulation function before and after treatment, there was no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusions Compared with the conventional treatment, the combination therapy with rh-BNP and levosimendon can improve the hemodynamics, increase the urine volume, decrease the level of plasma NT-proBNP and elevate LVEF significantly, so as to improve the clinical symptoms and shorten the hospital stay in patients with acute myocardial infarction complicated by heart failure.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of cucurmosin (CUS) combined with the commonly used chemotherapeutic drugs for pancreatic cancer in clinical practice including Gemcitabine (GEM),Fluorouracil (5-FU),Paclitaxel (PTX) and Cisplatin (DDP) on cell proliferation of human pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3.Mehtods Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay was used to detect the inhibition on the cell proliferation of BxPC-3 cells in vitro after the treatment of CUS combined with GEM,5-FU,PTX and DDP,respectively.Colony formation assay was also conducted and Jin' s formula was used to assess the synergistic effect of these combinations.Results The inhibition rate of CUS combined with GEM,5-FU,PTX and DDP were all higher than those of each drug alone (q ＞ 0.85),which became obvious in low concentrations.The colony formation inhibition rate of CUS combined with GEM,5-FU,PTX or DDP were all higher than each single drug treatment (q ＞ 1.15).Conclusion CUS could enhance the cell growth inhibition of GEM,5-FU,PTX and DDP in BxPC-3 cells in vitro with a good synergistic effect.

Objective To study the effect of MRCP for operation difficulty assessment before laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Methods 110 patients with gallbladder stone were randomly selected from March 2011 to July 2012 in our hospital,and all the patients were given LC operation after examined by MRCP. Regarded the average operation time 30 min as a criterion,when the operation time was no more than 30 min,the operation was considered as normal operation;when the operation time was more than 30 min, the operation was considered as op-eration of a certain degree of difficulty. Made a correlation analysis between LC operation difficulty and age,gender,location,volume of gall-bladder,angle of ductus cysticus, thickness of gallbladder wall, circumstances surrounding the cystic duct, length of ductus cysticus, and whether there were calculus in the cervical part of gallbladder. Results The difficulty level of LC operation is related to length of ductus cys-ticus and whether there were calculus in the cervical part of gallbladder,and there is no correlation with age,gender,location,volume of gall-bladder,angle of ductus cysticus,thickness of gallbladder wall,circumstances surrounding the cystic duct. Conclusion Routinely MRCP test in preoperative patients is of important significance to the prediction of LC operation difficulty.
