Objective To study the relationship between blood cell count and cardiac events in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction patients treated with reperfusion in the early stage. Methods In this study, we assigned 151 patients to whom reperfusion therapy had been delivered within 3 hours of STEMI symptom into two groups:primary percutaneous cor-onary intervention group and thrombolysis therapy group. Differences of cardiac events and white blood cell count in these two groups were analyzed in the first 4 days. Results In the second day and the forth day, cardiac events rate and white blood cell count were significantly lower in the primary percutaneous coronary intervention group than those in the thromboly-sis therapy group (P＜0.05). In the second day, white blood cell count has a positive correlation with cardiac events rate (r=0.226, P＜0.05). Conclusion Primary percutaneous coronary intervention decreased blood cell count and cardiac events rate. In patients with acute myocardial infarction, increasing white blood cell was related to cardiac events in the near future.

OBJECTIVETo analyze the operative characteristics and indications small incision for treating simple renal cysts.

METHODS19 patients with simple renal cyst were treated by ablation with small incision from January. 1995 to September. 2001 at our institute. Surgical technique, curative effect and indications were analyzed.

RESULTSIn the 19 patients the operative procedure took 34 +/- 15 min (20-80 min) on average and the mean hospitalization was 4.4 +/- 1.5 d (3-8 d). Neither complication nor recurrence occurred from 3 to 6 months during the follow-up.

CONCLUSIONSAblation with small incision is significantly advantageous for operation, recovery, short hospital stay, and lower cost. This operation is indicated for simple renal cyst in the lower, middle pole of the kidney.

Objective: To explore the safety and efficacy of left atrial (LA) endocardial vagal denervation catheter ablation for treating the patients with refractory vasovagal syncope (VVS).
Methods: A total of 57 consecutive refractory VVS patients with severe symptom and positive response to head-up tilt test (HUT) were enrolled. There were 22 male at the mean age of (43 ± 13) years. The patients had no response or couldn’t tolerate routine treatment. LA model was re-established by three-dimensional mapping system, 10 patients received high-frequency stimulation technique for ganglionated plexi (GP) ablation and 47 received regional catheter ablation at 5 anatomic sites of GP for LA endocardial vagal denervation treatment. In-operative vagal response including hypotension, sinus bradycardia or asystole were observed, the endpoint of ablation was abolition of evoked vagal relfexes. Periodical follow-up was conducted to record the syncope recurrence and to re-examine ECG and HUT in all patients.
Results: There were 52/57(91.2%) patients had positive vagal response by radiofrequency application and reached the endpoint of ablation; 4 patients couldn’t receive obvious evoked vagal relfexes. During (36 ± 22) months follow-up period, there were 52 (91.2%) cases without syncope recurrence, 11 cases still having palpitation, amaurosis and dizziness as the precursors of syncope while the symptoms were much better then they were before. No complication occurred.
Conclusion: LA endocardial vagal denervation catheter ablation is a safe and effective method for treating the patients with refractory VVS, it may also effectively prevent VVS recurrence.

Objective:To explore the application method and effect of online teaching of pediatrics in undergraduate clinical medicine.Methods:From March to August, 2020, two classes of pediatrics were selected as research objects: 67 students from Batch 2016 "5+3" clinical medicine class were taught by providing recorded teaching resources and online communication and answering questions (hereinafter referred to as "recorded courses"); 39 students from Batch 2015 "5+3" clinical medicine class were taught by live courses and online communication and answering questions (hereinafter referred to as "live courses"). Through the questionnaire survey on the two groups of students, the effect of the two online teaching methods were compared and the medical students' views and suggestions on them were collected. SPSS 26.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results:Most of the students in the two groups (98.1%) agreed with the effect of the online teaching of pediatrics and thought it could meet their learning needs. There was no significant difference in the online teaching effect between recorded courses group and live courses group ( P > 0.05). However, they had a poor recognition with the implementation of complete online teaching in the future, while they preferred the combination of online teaching with practical exercises in offline hospitals. Conclusion:Online teaching of pediatrics has been recognized by medical students. The two online teaching methods have their own advantages: recorded courses are more planned and the content is more rigorous; live courses are more interactive and flexible. However, considering that medicine is a highly practical subject, it still needs to be supplemented by offline practice while giving full play to the advantages of online teaching.

Objective To assess the safety,efficacy and reliability of IUPU(Abbreviation of Institute of Urology,Peking University)technique in setting up the retroperitoneal cavity for retroperitoneoscopy. Methods From February 1996 to March 2006,more than 1100 retroperitoneoscopic procedures were performed with the IUPU technique in setting up the retroperitoneal cavity,First,at the cross point of the line 2 cm above the iliac crest and the longitudirml line close to the anterior auxiliary line,a 1 cm skin incision was made and the Veress needle was penetrated into the retroperitoneal space(RPS)with a 0°-30° angle to the perpendicular line.The CO2 gas was pumped into the RPS till the pressure increases to 14mmHg and the first port was inserted into the RPS.The laparoscope was then inserted into the RPS through the first port and kept swinging right and left with its tip and trunk tO set up the retroperitoneal cavity.Other 2 ports were put into the RPS at cross points of the sub-costal line and anterior and posterior auxiliary lines under monitor observation.Then other appliances are introduced into the RPS to expand the cavity.More than 1100 procedures had been done with the IUPU technique,including 54 cases of simple nephrectomy (loss of function due to tuberculosis,hydronephrosis and atrophy), 188 radical nephrectomy, 154 ureteronephrectomy, 344 adrenalectomy, 302 renal cyst decortications, 35 partial nephrectomy, 37 pyeloplasty. Results The average time for the IUPU technique was (5.4±2.8)min (range 4. 5 to 14. 5 min) to set up the RPS. Complications included converting to open surgery due to bleeding in 8 cases(8/1114,0. 72%) when the first port was inserted into the RPS and entered into the peritoneal cavity for the first port penetration in 32 cases (32/1114,2. 87%),although the retroperitoneal cavity could be set up successfully by adjusting the laparoscope into the RPS.There was no injury to other viscera. Conclusions The IUPU technique is safe, efficient and reliable in setting up the RPS and no other special instrument is needed. It can be finished within 5 min on skilled hands and is valuable as a routine method to set up the retroperitoneal cavity.

Objective: To quantitatively evaluate the abnormal tense of parasympathetic nerve via measuring the heart rate deceleration capacity (DC) and heart rate variability (HRV) in patients with vasovagal syncope (VVS).
Methods: Our research included 2 groups: VVS group,n=28 patients with positive head-up tilt test treated in our hospital from 2013-06 to 2014-08 and Control group,n=30 patients without cardiovascular disorders. The DC and HRV were examined and compared between 2 groups.
Results:① The overall deceleration capacity (ODC) (9.4 ± 2.9) ms and daytime deceleration capacity (DDC) (8.9 ± 2.9) ms in VVS group were higher than those in Control group (7.5 ± 2.5) ms and (7.5 ± 2.5) ms respectively,P<0.05.② More patients in VVS group presented daytime-to-nighttime deceleration capacity ratio (DNratio) >1 than those in Control group (9/28, 32.1% vs 2/30, 6.7%),P=0.019.③ The SDNN (139.8 ± 34.0) ms, SDSD (29.9 ± 15.7) ms and rMSSD (40.9 ± 18.8) ms in VVS group were higher than those in Control group, (115.5 ± 29.4) ms, (21.8 ± 6.6) ms and (28.9 ± 8.4) ms respectively,P<0.05.④ Multivariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that ODC was positively related to vasovagal syncope occurrence (OR=2.045, 95% CI: 1.100-3.801,P=0.024).
Conclusion: VVS patients have abnormally increased indexes of DC and HRV, HDC is the predictor for vasovagal syncope occurrence.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the anatomical retroperitoneoscopic nephrectomy(RSN)and standardize the procedure of RSN. Methods The retrospective analysis was performed on 405 consecutive patients underwent anatomical RSN in Our institute from January 2002 to June 2008.There were 232 male and 173 female patients with the average age of(57.2±14.2)years,among whom there were 228 renal cell carcinoma patients accepted RSU,96 and 49 renal pelvic carcinoma and ureteral carcinoma cases accepted retroperitoneoscopic ureteronephrectomy (RSUN) and 32 cases accepted simple RSN due to loss of renal function caused by benign renal discsses.The tadical RSN was performed by dissecting outside Gerota's fascia and in the latent cavities between this fascia and lateral conal fascia in the dorsal side and between this fascia and prerenal fusion fascia in the ventral side,whereas the simple RSN was done inside Gerota's fascia by making direct incision on it and dissecting between this fascia and perirenal adipose tissue.Kidneys and perirenal adipose tissue were completely removed by dissection along several avascular planes around the kidney under the amplified view of laparoscopy. The software SPSS 12.0 was used for the statistical analysis of all data. Results The mean operative time was (132±48)min for radical and simple RSN and (245 ± 62)min for radical RSUN, which included the time for position change and second skin preparation. The medium estimated blood loss was 100 ml(10-2500 ml) and the average drainage volume was 150 ml (0-1152 ml) postoperatively. 15 cases (3. 70%) required blood transfusion with the median volume of 400ml (400-1650 ml). Four cases (0. 99%) were converted to open surgery due to severe adhesion (2 cases), difficult exposure of renal helium (1 case) and severe bleeding (1 case).The mean drainage time was (3. 9±1.8)d, the mean time to first oral intake was (2.7±1.2)d and the mean postoperative hospital stay was (8.6±3. 8)d. Conclusion The anatomical RSN is safe and effective and should be the standard surgical procedure for laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Objective:To investigate the correlation between circulating tumor cell (CTC) detection, RAS/RAF gene mutation and clinicopathological characteristics in patients with colorectal cancer (CRC).Methods:The Amplification Refractory Mutation System (ARMS)-polymerase chain reaction (PCR) were used to detect the gene mutation in the tumor tissues of 138 CRC patients in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from May 2017 to May 2020. At the same time, the venous blood of 138 patients was collected and enriched for CTC genotyping by mRNA in situ hybridization. The correlation between CTC, RAS/RAF gene mutation and clinicopathological features of CRC patients was analyzed.Results:The mutation rates of KRAS, NRAS and BRAF genes were 48.6%(67/138), 5.1%(7/138) and 1.4%(2/138), respectively; The overall positive rate of CTC was 84.1%(116/138). The positive rates of different CTC types were: 23.1%(32/138) in epithelial type, 71.7%(99/138) in mixed type and 12.3%(17/138) in interstitial type respectively. The positive rate of CTC in CRC patients with clinical stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ, lymph node metastasis (N1-N3) and distant metastasis (M1) was significantly higher than that in CRC patients with stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ, no lymph node metastasis (N0) and no distant metastasis (M0) (all P<0.05). The total number of CTC, mixed CTC and interstitial CTC were positively correlated with clinical stage, lymph node metastasis and distant metastasis (all P<0.05). RAS/RAF gene mutation, gender, age, tumor location and tumor differentiation did not affect the positive rate of CTC (all P>0.05). Conclusions:The results of CTC typing are of great research significance for comprehensive treatment, prognosis assessment and stratified management of CRC, among which the interstitial type of CTC may be a high risk factor for the recurrence and metastasis of CRC.

Objective To investigate the application effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy(CRT)of[left bundle optimization(LOT)]and biventricular pacing(BiV)in the patients with chronic heart failure complicating left bundle branch block.Methods The single center,prospective and non-randomized controlled study method was used.Forty-two patients with heart failure meeting CRT in this center from April 2020 to April 2022 were consecutively included.Among them,32 cases adopted the BiV-CRT(BiV-CRT group)and 10 cases adopted LOT-CRT(LOT-CRT group).The pacing-making parameters,quality of life scale(SF-36)score,6-min walk test(6-MWT),ECG QRS width(QRSd),left ventricular end-diastolic diameter(LVEDD),left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and New York cardiac function grade(NYHA)situation were collected before surgery,after surgery immediately and in postoperative 3,6,12 months.Their complica-tions and clinical outcomes were evaluated.Results The pacing threshold value in the LOT-CRT group was stable and lower than that in the BiV-CRT group(P＜0.05);QRSd in postoperative 12 months in the LOT-CRT group was shorter than that in the BiV-CRT group[(115.0±14.3)ms vs.(133.0±14.0)ms,P＜0.05]and 6-MWT was longer than that in the BiV-CRT group[(327.0±52.8)m vs.(274.0±52.8)m,P＜0.05],and the differences were statistically significant(P＜0.05);LVEF,LVEDD,NYHA cardiac grade and SF-36 score in postoperative 12 months were improved compared with those before implantation.The rehospitaliza-tion rate of heart failure in the LOT-CRT group was lower.Conclusion LOT-CRT could obtain a narrower QRS wave and longer 6-MWT than BiV-CRT.

To compare the efficacy and safety of interferon a-1b and interferon a-1b combined with lamivudine in the treatment of HBeAg positive chronic hepatitis B (CHB), to analyze the impact of variable factors on the efficacy, and to investigate the individualized anti-viral regimen for CHB patients. 111 CHB patients were enrolled and randomly divided into two groups. Group A: patients received interferon a-1b (49 patients, 50mug I. M. , qod. ) , Group B: interferon a-1b (idem) combined with lamivudine for 6-12 months or longer(62 patients, 100 mg, P.O. , q.d. ). (1) The HBeAg seroconversion rates of treatment by 12 and 18 months were 28.6% and 36.7% in group A, 29.0% and 38.7% in group B, respectively, no significant difference found between the two groups at the end of treatment (x2=0.003, P value is more than 0.05; x2=1.500, P value is more than 0.05). (2) The HBV DNA undetectable rates of treatment by 6 months, 12 months and 18 months were 8.2%, 53.1% and 57.1% in group A, 66.1%, 83.9% and 88.7% in group B, respectively, still no significant difference existed between the two groups (x2=38.150, P value is less than 0.05; x2=12.073, P value is less than 0.05, x2=14.459, P value is less than 0.05). (3) In group A, the HBeAg seroconversion rates for male and female patients were 34.5% and 40.0% respectively, no significant difference found between. As regard ages the rates were 34.9% and 50.0% for patients younger or more than 40 years of age, no significant difference existed between. The HBeAg seroconversion rate was higher in patients with lower baseline serum HBV DNA loads ( less than 6 log10 copies/ml) . (4) The rates of patients with fever and blood abnormality were 36.7% and 34.7% in group A, 32.3% and 27.4% in group B, respectively. The total incidences of adverse events were similar between group A and B (x2=0.244, P value is more than 0.05; x2=0.682, P value is more than 0.05). (5) The ratio of drug resistance in group B was only 1.6%. The adverse events of interferon a-1b treatment for CHB are low and mild. The HBeAg seroconversion rate persistently raises with the extension of interferon a-1b treatment course. The HBV DNA undetectable rate of interferon a-1b combined with lamivudine is significantly higher than that of interferon a-1b and the drug resistance of lamivudine can be reduced obviously by combination therapy.
