Objective To summarize the experiences in clinical diagnosis and surgical treatment of chest cancers invading the superior vena cava (SVC). Method Retrospective study of 12 cases with chest cancers invading the SVC, SVC and innominate vein were reconstructed with prosthesis in 3 cases, the side wall of the SVC was excised and repaired in 9 cases. Results Complete resection was performed in 10cases,2 cases had incomplete resection. There was no death associated with operation in these patients. All patients were followed up for 1 - 7 years after operation,and 3 cases were lost to follow up,5 of remaining 9cases were dead because of relapse and metastasis, their median survival time was 8 months,other 4 cases lived, their median survival time was 42 months. Conclusions Patients with chest cancers invading the SVC should have surgical treatment of not only tumor resection but also the vessel reconstruction,the prognosis would be better than without surgical treatment. These patients have a high quality of life and live with long-term survival.

Objective:To observe the expression of miR-30c-5p and Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4) in colon cancer tissues and cells, and to explore their relationship with clinicopathological features.Methods:As a prospective study, 30 cases of colon cancer surgical specimens and matched normal tissue samples were selected from the Cancer Hospital of China Medical University from May 2016 to may 2017.The expression of miR-30c-5p mRNA was detected by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR), and the expression of TLR4 Protein was detected by western blot (WC). The expression differences of miR-30c-5p mRNA and TLR4 protein in different TNM stages, differentiation degrees and diameters were observed.The correlation between the expression of miR-30c-5p and TLR4 Protein was analyzed by Pearson Rank method.Results:The expression of miR-30c-5p was lower in colon cancer tissues(0.311±0.147) than in adjacent normal colon tissues(0.881±0.266)( t=10.613, P<0.001). TLR4 protein was higher in colon cancer tissues(0.729±0.274) than in adjacent normal colon tissues(0.361±0.168)( t=6.310, P<0.001). Expression of miR-30c-5p was lower in colon cancer cell lines(0.394±0.045, 0.435±0.098, 0.533±0.092, 0.272±0.069) than in normal colon epithelial cell line(1.371±0.101)( t value were 6.744, 6.432, 6.865 and 6.201, respectively; P<0.001). The expression of TLR4 protein was higher in colon cancer cell lines(1.108±0.169, 1.035±0.177, 1.114±0.253, 1.116±0.157) than in normal colon epithelial tissues(0.358±0.094)( t value were 5.789, 4.799, 5.311 and 5.292, respectively; P<0.001). Pearson rank correlation showed that miR-30c-5p was negatively correlated with TLR4 protein expression( r=-0.487, 95% CI: -0.721--0.154, P<0.01). MiR-30c-5p was decreased with TNM stage increasing( F=31.406, P<0.001), pathological differentiation degree decreasing( F=9.960, P<0.001), tumor diameter increasing( F=10.267, P<0.001). TLR4 was increasing with TNM stage increasing( F=37.634, P<0.001). TLR4 increased with the decrease of tumor differentiation( F=38.027.35, P<0.001). TLR4 increased with tumor diameter ( F=20.717, P<0.001). Conclusion:The low expression of mir-30c-5p and high expression of TLR4 in colon cancer were correlated with TNM stage and tumor volume.

Objective To access the alterations of ischemic myocardial regional motion time caused by different extent of coronary artery stenosis by 2D-strain technique. Methods Two-dimensional images were acquired of the standard parasternal and apical (4-chamber,2-chamber and long-axis) views and short-axis views (mitral annulus, papillary muscle and apex) in 140 patients with coronary artery disease. All left ventricular segments were divided into 5 groups according to coronary stenosis seen on angiography:normal,25% -49% ,50% -74% ,75% -99% and 100%. The time to segmental systolic peak strain, systolic peak strain rate, end systolic strain, early diastolic peak strain rate and late diastolic peak strain rate in longitudinal, radial, circumferential directions and the systolic peak rotation, systolic peak rotation rate, early diastolic rotation rate,late diastolic rotation rate were analyzed with EchoPAC offline software. Results In longitudinal direction,compared with normal group,the time to early diastolic peak strain rate of segments with 75% - 99% coronary stenosis increased significantly, the time to systolic peak strain rate, early diastolic peak strain rate of segments with occluded artery were significantly delayed compared with the other 4 groups (P ＜0.05). In radial, circumferential directions, the time to systolic peak strain, systolic peak strain rate,late diastolic peak strain rate of segments with 25% - 49% was shorter than that of normal segments. Those indices for segments with 50% - 74% coronary stenosis were delayed compared with segments with 25% - 49% stenosis, however, those for segments with 75% - 99% coronary stenosis showed some improvement in the comparison with segments with 50% - 74% stenosis. All time indices for segments with occluded arteries were delayed ( P ＜0.05). About rotation, the time to the systolic peak rotation,systolic peak rotation rate,early diastolic peak rotation rate with 25% -49% stenosis was shorter than those of normal segments, the time to systolic peak rotation and early diastolic peak rotation rate for segments with 75% - 99% stenosis improved compared with segments with 50% - 74% stenosis.Conclusions 25% -49% coronary stenosis could lead to alterations of peak myocardial systole and diastole motion time in radial,circumferential and rotation directions,and ≥75% coronary stenosis caused the all 4 directions motion delays. Also the time indices for segments with 75% - 99% coronary stenosis showed some improvement in the comparison with segments with 50% -74% coronary stenosis.

Objective To study the protective effects of the coronary collateral circulation to ischemic myocardial regional function with coronary artery stenosis≥75%using 2D-strain technique.Methods Two-dimensional images of apical four-,two-chambers,long-axis views and LV short-axis views were obtained in 121 patients.According to the results of coronary angiogram,all the 121 patients were divided into 3 groups:group 1,with normal coronary artery;group 2,with stenosis≥75%in≥1 main coronary artery involved right coronary artery,left anterior descending branch and left circumflex branch and with the presence of coronary collateral circulation(CCC);group 3,with stenosis≥75% in≥1 main coronary artery but with no presence of CCC.The segments' systolic peak strain(Sps),strain rate (SRs),end systolic strain (Yes),early diastolic strain rate (SRe) and late diastolic strain rate (SRa) in longitudinal (L),radial (R),circumficial (C) directions and the rotation (Rot),rotation rate were analyzed with EchoPAC offline software.Results Compared with 1 group,LSps,LSes,LSRs,LSRa,RSRe,RSRa,CSRe,Rotsre,Rotsra of 2 group,LSps,LSes,LSRs,LSRa,LSRe,RSes,RSRs,RSRe,RSRa,CSps,CSes,CSRs,CSRe,CSRs,Rotps,Rotsrs,Rotsre,Rotsra of 3 group decreased significantly (P＜0.05) ;compared with 2 group,LSps,LSes,LSRs,RSes,RSRs,CSps,CSes,CSRs,CSRa,Rotps,Rotsrs,Rotsre of 3 group decreased markedly (P＜0.05).Conclusions Coronary collateral circulation provides a protection effection to ischemic myocardial regional function.2D-strain technique may serve as an efficient method to assess ischemic myocardial regional function.

Objective To identify the mechanisms of oral administered rapamycin on the prevention of restenosis after stent implantation with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) and pathology.Methods Twenty-four New Zealand white rabbits underwent balloon-induced abdominal aortic wall injury and were given a diet of 1 ％ cholesterol for 8 weeks.Then,the rabbits were divided into three groups:the bare metal stent group(BMS group),the bare metal stent with oral rapamycin group(BMS + RAPA group) and the rapamycin eluting stent group(DES group).Rabbits in the RAPA and BMS + RAPA groups received a daily oral dose of rapamycin(0.5 mg/kg),whereas rabbits in the DES group received no drugs.All the rabbits were euthanized after the 4-week intervention.Serum lipids were measured.IVUS and pathologic studies were performed.The minimal luminal diameter (MLD),external elastic membrane (EEM) area,lumen area (LA),and plaque area(PA),plaque burden(PB) were measured.Mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) expression level was examined by immunohistochemistry.Results After the 4-week intervention,there was no significant difference of serum lipid levels among the three groups.IVUS showed that oral administration of rapamycin in the BMS + RAPA groups showed similar effects in reducing PA and PB as the DES group,which all were better than the BMS group.The BMS + RAPA and DES groups showed much more MLD and less lumen reduction,compared with the BMS group( P ＜0.05).Level of mTOR expression of the BMS + RAPA group and DES group was significantly lower than that of BMS group.Conclusions Oral administration of rapamycin demonstrates the same effect in the reduction of plaque burden and stent restenosis as the rapamycin eluting stent.Inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin involves in the stent restenosis.

Objective: To study the dosages of capsules commonly used in children to provide reference for the addition of capsule specification for children.Methods: According to the application situation of capsule dosages commonly used for the inpatients in one children's hospital from January 1, 2013 to September 1, 2016, and combined with the usage rates of various drugs with different dosages, the addition of the minimum dosage of capsules was proposed.Results: Totally 10 species of commonly used capsules were selected from the children's hospital, and among them, 4 ones met the requirements of clinics, and the other 8 ones needed the specification addition, including clostridium butyricum capsules (210 mg) and polysaccharide ferric complex capsules (25 mg).Conclusion: The existing capsule specification can not fully meet the clinical requirements in the children's hospital.Therefore, appropriate dosage adjustments are still needed.

Objective: To establish the standardized management mode for emergent medicines of inpatient area based on JCI. Methods:The expiry verification data of emergent medicines in hospital wards were collected from 2013 to 2015. The number and the amount of emergent medicines expired in the last three months in each calendar month during the three years were analyzed, the exist-ing problems in the management mode were found out and gradually optimized using PDCA cycle. Results:From 2013 to 2015, the re-placement amount of emergent medicines expired in the next month was 3497. 37 yuan. The number of emergent medicines expired in current month was 62. A total of 420 times of emergent medicines didn' t meet the requires of expiry verification from 2013 to 2015. After the check-in form redesign for emergent medicines and the standardization of replacement process, the number of expired medi-cines in the rescue carts was reduced, and the validity and quantity of drugs in all the rescue vehicles could be clearly shown in the new form. Conclusion:The standardization of emergent medicine management model can guarantee the safety of emergent medicines used in patients.

Objective To evaluate J-pouch coloanal anastomosis after low anterior resection for the middle and low rectal carcinoma. Methods From January 1998 to July 2002, 120 patients undergoing low anterior radical resection for the middle or low rectal carcinomas were divided into groups of coloanal anastomosis and that of 5 cm colonic J-pouch-anal anastomosis. WT5”HZResults These two groups were well matched for gender, age and histologic stage. There were no significant differences in operative time, hospital stay, complications, postoperative recurrence rate and postoperative survival time between the two groups as founded by an average follow-up of 18 months. The mean distance from the inferior edge of the tumor to the dentate line was (3 6?1 5) cm in the J-pouch group, significantly less than that in coloanal anastomosis group of (5 2?1 9) cm, ( P =0 000). Defecation frequency, urgency and incontinence were significantly improved at 3 months and 12 months after operation in the J-pouch group ( P 0 05). Conclusion J-pouch coloanal anastomosis after low anterior resection for the middle and low rectal carcinoma significantly improves the short-term bowel function after operation.

ObjectiveTo elucidate the clinical application value of intravascular ultrasound(IVUS) in assessing intermediate lesions and the relationship between serum levels of fractalkine,CD36 and LP-PLA2and severity of coronary artery atherosclerosis.MethodsOne hundred and twenty patients with unstable angina underwent coronary angiography.Then the patients were divided into two groups:severe lesion group (lumen diameter stenosis greater than 70％,including 40 patients),and the intermediate lesion group lumen diameter stenosis(50％～70％,80 patients).IVUS were performed in all patients to analysis the coronary lesions.Concentrations of CD36,fractalkine and LP-PLA2 were measured by means of ELISA.Results IVUS found that 74％ intermediate lesion patients had soft lipid plaques,while 48％ severe lesion patients had lipid plaques ( P＜0.01 ).Patients with severe lesion had larger plaque burden and vascular remodeling index than those of patients with intermediate lesions(P＜0.05～0.01).There were 59 patients(74％) in the intermediate lesion group underwent PCI.IVUS also found the PCI patients had larger plaque burden and vascular remodeling index.Concentration of CD36 was significantly higher in severe lesion group than that of intermediate lesion group (P＜0.05).ConclusionsIVUS could further clarify the characteristics of the intermediate and severe lesions,and provide guidance for PCI treatment.Plasma CD36 level could be used to predict pathological severity of coronary atherosclerosis.
