Objective: To investigate the outcome and inlfuencing factors of graft vessels including saphenous vein graft (SVG) and left internal mammary artery graft (LIMAG) in patients after coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: A total of 92 patients with post-CABG symptom recurrence from 2010 to 2015 were analyzed by angiography and clinical features for their native coronary vessel and graft vessel. There were 83 male and 9 female patients with the mean age of (62.6±10.8) years. The outcomes of graft vessel were assessed; correlation study was conducted between SVG, LIMAG lesions and traditional atherosclerosis risk factors like age, gender, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetic mellitus, smoking, family history of coronary artery disease (CAD) with other clinical factors such as the time of angina recurrence, thetime from coronary angiography (CAG) to CABG, type of SVG (sequential graft or individual graft), the features of native target vessel lesions prior grafting. Results: The average time from CABG to symptom recurrence was (35.10±24.7) months. There were 146 grafts including 52 LIMAG and 94 SVG (60 individual and 34 sequential grafts), the patency rate of LIMAG was higher than SVG (63.5% vs 44.7%),P=0.030. SVG lesion was positively related to symptom recurrence (OR=1.119, 95% CI 1.002-1.249,P=0.046) and trended to female gender (P=0.065), while not related to other clinical factors; LIMGA lesion was not related to any clinical factors. The patency rate of sequential SVG was higher than individual SVG (58.9% vs. 36.7%,P=0.038). The native target vessel lesion (deifned by pre-operative occlusion/stenosis) was similar between individual SVG group (24/14) and no-lesion SVG group (17/5),P=0.388; while the native target vessel lesion in LIMAG group (7/12) was lower than no-lesion LIMAG group (23/10),P=0.04. Conclusion: Post-CABG lesion was not obviously related to traditional risk factors of CAD, post-SVG lesion was positively related to the time of post-CABG angina recurrence. SVG mid-and long-term patency in sequential graft vessel was higher than that in individual graft vessel. Pre-CABG native coronary blood lfow would affect the outcome of individual LIMAG but not SVG.

Objective To review and discuss the changes of diagnostic techniques and therapeutic modalities of pheochromocytoma during the past fifty years. Methods The clinical data of 362 patients (196 men and 166 women; age range,7-75 years;mean age,38 years) with pheochromocytoma from January 1955 to July 2004 were retrospectively analyzed.The disease course ranged from 20 d to 20 years with a mean of 3.9 years.According to the premedication,the past 50-year period was divided into 3 stages;and the diagnostic techniques,premedication, anesthetic skills,surgical procedures and perioperative death rate were compared among the 3 stages. Results There were 60 patients in the first stage (1955-1975) and their diagnoses were made on urine VMA and retroperitoneal air-contrast imaging.They had no premedication except for tranquilizers.The therapeutic modality was open surgery of resecting tumors under peridural anesthesia.The perioperative mortality was 8.3% (5/60).The second stage (1976-1994) included 105 patients and they were diagnosed mainly by 24-h urine catecholamine, ultrasonography and CT.Phenoxybenzamine was taken as the regular premedication and open surgery general anesthesia was used; the mortality decreased significantly to 1.0% (1/105).The third stage (1995-2004) consisted of 197 cases.In addition to 24-h urine catecholamine,ultrasonography and CT, 131I-MIBG scan was used as the specific diagnostic technique for pheochromocytoma widely.The premedication was phenoxybenzamine and urapidil.The microcirculation imaging analysis was used to judge the volume expansion preparation. Laparoscopic resection of the tumor under general anesthesia was adopted as the regular means.The perioperative mortality was 0.5% (1/197). Conclusions The diagnostic techniques for pheochromocytoma have become enriched and mature.The premedication has been standardized and included more medicines.The microinvasive surgery has become the current method for resecting tumors,and the perioperative mortality has become significantly decreased.

BACKGROUND:Under certain conditions, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can be differentiated into hepatocytes, which are an important source of liver cels. Moreover, multiple factors can be involved in this induced differentiation process. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inducible effect of cholestatic serum on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into hepatocytes. METHODS:Cholestatic animal model was prepared in rats to extract cholestatic serum. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels isolated from rats were divided into three groups and cultured in serum-free hepatocyte medium, serum-free hepatocyte medium plus cholestatic serum, serum-free hepatocyte medium plus normal serum, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The positive expression of alpha fetoprotein and keratin 18 and mass concentration of albumin were significantly higher in the serum-free hepatocyte medium plus cholestatic serum group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that cholestatic serum has a certain inducible role in the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into hepatocytes.
