Objective To design an intravenous indwelling needle in battle field aid.Methods Several concavity were made on the hollow tube inner surface posterior puncture needle case,and some corresponding convexity uplifted peripheral needle handle pistons posterior puncture needle core.Revolution could be avoided because the needle handle pistons were just embedded in hollow tube concavity.It was convenient to operate and decreased the operator's orientation transformation by the needle's handhold vane adopting rectangle instead of butterfly shape.Results The improved puncture needle was stable and the rate of success of intravenous puncture was increased.Conclusion The improved venous retaining needle can be applied in battle field aid.

Objective To identify risk factors for anastomotic leakage after low anterior resection (LAR) in rectal cancer patients and study its impact on patients'long-term prognosis.Methods Chnical data were analyzed from 720 patients who underwent low anterior resection(LAR) for rectal cancer between 1996 and 2006.Results Anastomotic leakage after anterior resection occurred in 44 cases(6.1%).The median time of anastomotic leakage after operation was 5.6 days.Muhivariate analysis showed male patients.history of preoperative chemoradiation therapy,diabetes,cancer distance from anus less than 7 cm and hand-sewed anastomosis were independent risk factors predisposing anastomosis leakage (P<0.05).Tumor local recurrence rate was 13.6% in patients suffering from leakage and 5.9% for those without leakage (χ2= 4.116,P<0.05).The distant metastasis rates were 25.0 and 14.1 percent for the leakage and noaleakage groups,respectively(χ2=3.943,P<0.05).The survival rates were 56.8 and 72.5 percent in the leakage and nonleakage groups,respectively(χ2=4.979,P<0.05).Conclusion Sex,preoperative chemoradiation therapy,diabetes,cancer distance from anus less than 7 cm and hand-sewed anastomosis were found to be independent risk factors for anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery.Anastomotic leakage was associated with poor prognosis.

60 years old with coronary artery disease in hospital from Jan.2002 to Aug 2004 who accepted coronary intervention.They were divided into Tansradial group(TRA,n=382) and Transfemoral group(TRF,n=382).The success rate and time of puncture,x-ray exposure time,procedure duration,dose of dye,complication in puncture site and pulmonary embolism were observed in the two groups.Results 368 out of 382 cases success in TRA group and 372 cases in TRF group.The success rate was not different.The success rate of puncture,x-ray exposure time,procedure duration and dose of dye had no difference between the two groups.But the complication in puncture site and pulmonary embolism were more in TRF group than in TRA group.The coronary intravascular ultrasound and cutting balloon technique were successfully done in two groups.The mean in-hospital time was less in TRA group (2.1?0.6 days) than in TRF group (4.2?1.6days,P

Objective:To explore the route of automatic computer-aided design for occlusal rest of the removable partial denture.Methods: A new module for the design of occlusal rest was developed.The three-dimensional data of a partially dentate dental cast was obtained and imported into the new module.The contour of the occlusal's tissue surface was identified.Then,the tissue surface and polished surface were constructed respectively and connected to each other to form an integrated entity.Results: The surface of the occlusal rest was smooth and the curvature matched that of the surrounding area of the abutment tooth.The accuracy was satisfying.Conclusion: Design of occlusal rest was much more convenient and time-saving using the newly developed module.The future development of special software package for the design of removable partial denture will benefit from it.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of permissive hypercapnia ventilation in mechanically ventilated newborns.Methods PubMed,Embase,the Cochrane Library,China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CKNI),Wanfang Data and Chinese BioMedical Literature Database (CBM) were searched up until March 31,2013.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing permissive hypercapnia (PHC) group with normocapnia (NC) group in mechanically ventilated newborns were included.The primary outcomes included the incidence of ventilator associated lung injury (VALI),bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD),intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH),periventricular leukomalacia (PVL),patent ductus arteriosus (PDA),neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC),neurodevelopmental injury and the mortality rate.Secondary outcomes included the duration of ventilatory support and the length of hospital stay.The Cochrane Handbook 5.1.0 was used to evaluate the methodological quality and RevMan 5.1 software from Cochrane Collaboration was used for meta-analysis.The fixed effects model or the random effects model was adopted according to the result of heterogeneity.Results (1) A total of 325 articles were searched,and eight RCTs involving 605 newborns (302 newborns in PHC group while 300 newborns in NC group) which met the inclusion criteria were selected.In seven studies,the partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) was controlled at ＜ 65 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and pH at ≥ 7.2 in PHC group.In one study,PCO2 was ＞ 52 mmHg and pH＞7.2,without descripition of the upper limit of PCO2.(2) Four articles described the method of random allocation in detail; three described allocation concealment; all eight studies used blinding method for research subjects; two used blinding method for outcome assessment; all eight studies reported complete data; and three articles described the source of other bias.(3) All eight studies reported the incidence of VALI (I2=56％,P=0.03).The random effects model was used for the meta-analysis,and there was significant difference between PHC group and NC group (RR=0.52,95％CI:0.29-0.93,P=0.03).According to the gestational age,the eight studies were divided into two subgroups.One subgroup,including three studies with an average gestational age of 25 weeks (I2=0％,P=0.46),showed no significant difference in the incidence of VALI between PHC and NC group (RR=1.05,95％CI:0.72-1.54,P=0.78).The other subgroup,including five studies with gestational age of ＞27 weeks (I2=0％,P=0.68),showed significant difference in the incidence of VALI between the two groups (RR=0.27,95％CI:0.14-0.50,P＜0.01).The in-hospital mortality and duration of ventilation showed significant difference between the two groups (in-hospital mortality:RR=0.40,95％CI:0.22-0.74,P＜0.01; duration of ventilation:difference in means=-0.75,95％CI:-1.04--0.46,P＜0.01).There was no significant difference in the incidence of BPD,IVH,PVL,PDA,NEC and neurodevelopmental impairment between the two groups (all P＞0.05).Conclusions PHC ventilation in mechanically ventilated newborns can decrease the incidence of VALI,the in-hospital mortality and the duration of ventilation,while its protective efficacy against BPD is not remarkable.It does not increase the risk of IVH,PVL,PDA,NEC and neurodevelopmental injury,when the PCO2 is ＜ 65 mmHg and pH ≥ 7.2.

Objective To investigate the electrophysiological characteristics of the atrium in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) during electrophysiological study (EPS) Methods Seventy two patients with presence of AF during EPS were selected as Group AF , and the other 78 patients without AF as Group control All the patients had no AF history and structural heart diseases P A, P CSd, S1 A1, S2 A2, Max CD, CD zone and ERP HRA were measured as the electrophysiological parameters Results P A, P CSd, S1 A1, S2 A2, Max CD and CD zone were significantly longer in Group AF than in Group control , ERP HRA was shorter in Group AF Conclusion The decreased atrial conduction and the shorter atrial effective refractory period may be the electrophysiological basis for the occurrence of AF

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness and safety of successive interventional treatment in patients with thoracic aortic dissection and coronary heart disease by endovascular graft exclusion(EVGE)and percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI)respectively.Methods From January,2005 to July,2007,8 patients with Stanford B aortic dissection and coronary heart disease received successive EVGE and PCI in our centre.All patients were performed with EVGE 3-7 days prior to their PCI.Results The site of dissection tears were confirmed by aortic angiography which located within 0~10 mm from the exterior margin of left subclavian artery in 1 patient,11-30 mm in 4 patients and 31-50 mm in 3 patients.One patient had two tear gaps.Dissection of or distal to the renal arteries were involved in 7 patients.Talent graft(Medtronic Corporation,U.S.)was used in one patient and Aegis grafts(Microsport Medical Corporation,China)in 7 patients.Eight trunk tectorial membrane stents were used with lengths ranged from 100 to 140 mm with diameters ranged from 34 to 38 mm.Left subclavian artery was thoroughly covered by the proximal section of the graft in one patient,which resulted in a weak left radial artery pulse but with no obvious ischemic symptom of the left upper limb and brain.Procedures were technically successful in all patients and no severe complication such as death,paraplegia,and kidney insufficiency occurred after the procedure during hospitalization.Post-procedural aortography showed no leakage in 4 patients and minor leakage in 4 patients.Two patients had residual thoracic back pain which could be relieved by drugs.Coronary angiography showed that 4 patients had single-vessel disease,2 had double-vessel disease and one had triple-vessel disease.The mean stenosis rate of the target lesions was 85.6%?14.0% and the mean diameter of the reference vessels was 2.8?0.3 mm.Twelve stents were inplanted in 11 target vessels in 8 patients.The mean length of stents was 23.5?13.6 mm.The procedural success rate of PCI was 100% and no severe complication occurred.No mortality,delayed endo-leak,adverse cardiac events and repeat intervention was recorded during a mean follow-up period of 18.0?8.5 months.Conclusion It is safe and feasible to treat Stanford B aortic dissection and coronary heart disease by successive inter vention of EVGE and PCI.The effect of anticoapulation therapy after PCI on EVGE still requires further investigation.
