Objective To assess the efficacy and safety of using a novel channel dilator (the Corsair microcatheter) accompanied with special occlusion guide wires for coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) recanalization. Methods From 2011 December to 2013 August,we performed 89 cases (the study group) using channel dilator and the new special occlusion guide wires for CTO recanalization. Another 89 CTO lesions treated before using the corsair microcatheter were compared as the control group.We recorded clinical characteristic, outcome of PCI,radiation exposure time, contrast utilization and the procedure time. The MACE rate was monitored during follow up. Results The intracoronary channel dilator accompanied with special occlusion guide wires were inserted into 33 left anterior descending arteries, 17 left circumlfex arteries and 38 right coronary arteries. The success rates of procedure were signiifcantly higher in the study group than in the control group (91% vs. 67.7%, P < 0.05). Procedure and lfuoroscopy time tended to be lower in the study group than in the control group. There were no serious complications related to the catheter and no death case recorded. Conclusions The channel dilator accompanied with special occlusion guide wires may facilitate the conventional approach with a higher success rate in PCI.

ObjectiveTo study the apoptosis of CD4 + T lymphocytes and the detection of immune function in patients with pulmonary tuberculosis and explore the clinical significance.MethodsThe mononuclear cells were separated from the blood of the tuberculosis patients or the healthy.The flow cytometry was used to measure the percentage of apoptotic CD4 + T lymphocytes,and the standard of T-lymphocyte subsets were detected by using SAP technology.The red cell immune function were determined by using yeast wreath way.Results The apoptosis rate of CD4 + T lymphocytes and CD8 + T lymphocyte was ( 15.882 ± 4.65 ) ％,and (27.69 ± 0.74) ％.The Immune complex positive rate ( 19.40 ± 0.58) ％ in patients with tuberculosis was significantly higher than those in controls ( P ＜ 0.01 ).C3b receptor positive rate in red blood cells was ( 17.73 ± 0.63 ) ％,( 46.48 ± 1.34 ) ％ in CD3 + T lymphocyte,( 28.12 ±0.69 ) ％ in CD4 + T lymphocyte,and the ratio of CD4/CD8 ( 1.0223 ± 0.09362) in the patients with tuberculosis was lower than the control group( P ＜ 0.01 ).There were certain relationships between the apoptosis rate of CD4 + T lymphocytes and the percentages of CD4 + T lymphocyte,the standard of T lymphocyte subsets and the red cell immune function.ConclusionsThe apoptosis rate of CD4 + T lympho,cytes in patients with tuberculosis were significantly higher than the healthy,which led to reducing the number of CD4 + T lymphocytes.There was positive correlation between red cell immunity and T-lymphocyte immunity,and the immunity in red cell and T- lymphocyte was lower than normal controls,which may be related to the immune pathogenesis of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Refractory Crohn’s-like enterocutaneous fistula indicates the aggressive manifestation and lead to poor prognosis of patients. The development of multidisciplinary strategies for fistula administration largely subjects to the deficiency of animal model for disease remodeling and the underlying pathogenic mechanism. For the purpose, infected anal fistula model was conducted by BLV single-core electrolytic aluminum combined with dextran sodium sulfate. Notably, the inflammatory granulation tissue and inflammatory cell infiltration in the perianal tissue were arised on day 7 of the model by utilizing the Hematoxylin–eosin staining. With the aid of magnetic resonance imaging and signals of high-brightness. We intuitively observed the thickening and edema appeared in the fistula wall, which collectively suggested the formation of a fistula in the perianal area of the rat. Distinguish from the current models of anal fistula modeling including the body surface of fistula, backside of fistula and drainage wire of fistula, our model revealed multifaceted advantages such as quicker generation, higher modeling rate, preferable stability, better consistency, cost-effective, and in particular, more convenient to mimic clinical manifestations of anal fistula.

Objective To explore the value of echocardiography for preoperative diagnosis and surgical planning of Ebstein anomaly(EA)in children.Methods Echocardiography data of 216 EA children were retrospectively analyzed.The mitral valve-tricuspid valve distance(MTD),the ratio of distance from the root of anterior mitral leaflets to cardiac apex and distance from the root of the tricuspid valve septal leaflets to cardiac apex(MTR)were measured,and Glasgow outcome scale extended(GOSE)scores were calculated.The accuracy of MTD and MTR for diagnosing EA in children were compared,and the value of GOSE for surgical planning of EA was analyzed.Results Among 216 cases,descending tricuspid valve septum was observed with echocardiography in 199 cases.The accuracy of MTD＞15 mm,MTR＞1.2 and MTR＞1.5 for diagnosing EA in children was 81.91％(163/199),95.98％(191/199)and 68.34％(136/199),respectively,being significantly different(x2=9.802-51.856,all P＜0.001).Among 178 cases who underwent surgical operations,biventricular repair was performed in 101 cases,among them 90 cases with GOSE score≤1.00 recovered well after operation,while adverse events occurred in 5 cases among 11 cases(5/11,45.45％)with GOSE score＞1.00.One-and-a-half ventricle repair was performed in 62 cases who covered well after operation,including 22 cases with GOSE score≤1.00 and 40 cases＞1.00.Single-ventricular repair was performed in 15 cases with GOSE score＞1.00,and the patients recovered well after operation.Conclusion Preoperative echocardiography measured MTR＞1.2 was relatively reliable for accurately diagnosing EA in children.GOSE score was helpful for surgical planning.
