Objective To investigate the perioperative nursing of patients with Stanford type B aortic dissections treated with endovascular graft exclusion.Method The clinical data of 22 cases undergoing thoracic endovascular aortic repair from February 2011 to August 2013 were retrospectively analyzed to summarize the nursing experience.Results Twenty-two patients survived successfully through operation.One case had retrograde type A dissection after operation,another 15 had hyperthermia,and all of them were cured and discharged due to symptomatic treatment.The postoperative 3 months follow-up showed no type I endoleak.Conclusion Preoperative psychological nursing,postoperative blood pressure control,nursing of complications,strengthening instruction of diet and physical activity,are critical for the promotion of early rehabilitation of patients after discharge.

Objective To explore the classification of abnormal electroencephalogram of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and the relationship between the electroencephalogram and the CP type.Methods152 CP children were examined with the electroencephalogram. The data of electroencephalogram were analyzed.ResultsThe abnormal electroencephalogram rate of 152 CP children was 40.13%. The abnormal electroencephalogram rate of the children with athetoid was lower (8.33%). The abnormal electroencephalogram rate of the children with spastity hemiplegia was higher (71.43%).ConclusionThe abnormal electroencephalogram rate of the CP children is related with the location of cerebral injury.

BACKGROUND: Procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP), and white blood cells (WBCs) are inflammatory markers used to diagnose severe bacterial infections. We evaluated the diagnostic role of these markers and compared their accuracy for spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) associated with chronic severe hepatitis B (CSHB). METHODS: PCT and CRP concentrations, WBC count, and other hematological parameters were measured in serum from 84 well-characterized patients with CSHB, of whom 42 had SBP. Receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve analysis was performed to assess the diagnostic accuracy. RESULTS: PCT and CRP concentrations were significantly higher in the CSHB patients with SBP (n=42) than CSHB patients without SBP (n=42). PCT and CRP concentrations were more accurate than WBC count for the diagnosis of CSHB-associated SBP. The optimal cutoff value of PCT was 0.48 ng/mL. The PCT concentration was significantly correlated with the CRP concentration and WBC count. CONCLUSIONS: Serum PCT and CRP seems to be better markers than WBC for the diagnosis of CSHB patients with SBP.

Objective To investigate the role of the group IB secretory phospholipase A2 (sPLA2-IB) and M-type phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R) in human podocyte injury and its possible signal transduction pathway.Methods Differentiated human podocytes were exposed to PBS or different sPLA2-IB concentration conditions (10-9,10-7,10-5 mol/L) for 2 hours.The wound healing assay was used to measure cell migration rate;Apoptosis in cultured human podocytes was assessed by Hoechst 33342 staining and flow cytometry;Western blot was used to analyze the protein expression of p-cPLA2α,p-p38,and p53.Then control siRNA or PLA2R siRNA were transfected to podocytes.Podocytes were divided into normal control group,negative control siRNA group and PLA2R siRNA group.Twenty four hous later,the cells were stimulated by 105 mol/L sPLA2-IB for 2 hours.The protein expression of p-cPLA2α,p-p38,and p53 were detected by Western blot.Results Compared to PBS control group,the migration ability of podocytes decreased when stimulated with sPLA2-IB (10-7mol/L-10-5 mol/L),and the apoptosis of podocytes increased in a concentration-dependent manner,the protein level of p-cPLA2α,p-p38 and p53 protein increased too.After the knockdown of PLA2R by PLA2R siRNA transfection,stimulated the podocytes with the same dosage of sPLA2-IB,the protein expression of p-cPLA2α,p-p38 and p53 all decreased.Conclusion sPLA2-IB stimulation can increase human podocyte apoptosis and decrease its migration ability.The possible mechanism might be through p38-cPLA2α-p53 pathway.

Objective To compare the efficacy, safety, and the life quality of patients with early gastric cancer ( EGC) between endoscopic submucosal dissection ( ESD) and surgical treatment. Methods A total of 460 cases with EGC receiving endoscopic therapy or surgical treatment were collected from October 2009 to January 2015 in the Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences. The clinical efficacy and life quality of ESD and surgical treatment for EGC patients were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were 434 cases collected in the study, including 208 cases ( 229 lesions) in the ESD group and 226 cases in the surgery group. For the short-term clinical outcomes of the ESD group, the hospitalization time ( 7. 85 ± 3. 18 d VS 16. 68±5. 89 d, P<0. 001), hospitalization cost (3782. 30±1898. 84 CNY VS 9685. 60± 3643. 97 CNY, P<0. 001 ) and complications [ 0 ( 0/208 ) VS 6. 2% ( 14/226 ) , P<0. 001 ] were statistically different compared with those of the surgery group. For the long-term clinical outcomes, there was no statistical significance on recurrence rate[0. 4%(1/229) VS 0. 9% (2/226), P=0. 622] between the two groups. The cumulative multiple hazard probability curve showed that the ESD group had a significantly higher risk of multiple primary lesions than the surgery group ( P=0. 004) after the same follow-up period. In order to exclude the influence of confounding factors, COX regression model was used to control the age and other factors, and multiple primary risks of the two groups were also statistically significant ( P=0. 013) . The health score of self-evaluation and life quality between the two groups were statistically significant ( P<0. 001) . Conclusion For the short-term clinical outcomes, the ESD group was better than the surgery group. For the long-term clinical outcomes, multiple primary risks were higher in the ESD group than those in the surgery group, but most of the multiple primary cases were successfully treated with a second ESD. The health score of self-evaluation and life quality were better in the ESD group than those in the surgery group.

Objective:To discuss the efficacy and safety of endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms.Methods:The clinical-pathological data of 21 patients who were admitted to the Department of Endoscopy, Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and underwent endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms from January 2014 to January 2020 were retrospectively studied, their postoperative outcomes and complication were also analyzed.Results:Tweenty-one patients were successfully performed endoscopic papillectomy of major duodenal papilla neoplasms. The resected lesions varied between 0.5-2.8 cm. Completed lesion was resected in 19 cases and lesion blocks in 2 cases. The incidence of postoperative complication was 52.4% (11/21), including 8 cases of postoperative bleeding (38.1%). Five patients stopped bleeding after endoscopic hemostasis and 3 patients stopped after interventional embolization. Two patients experienced perforation (9.5%) and recovered after conservative treatment including anti-inflammatory treatment and abdominal drainage. Five patients had pancreatitis (23.8%) and recovered after treatment with pre-somatostatin and anti-inflammatory rectal suppository. Preoperative pathological results of 21 patients suggested that 11 were high-grade intraepithelial neoplasia and 8 were low-grade intraepithelial neoplasia, and 2 were chronic inflammation. Postoperative pathological results suggested that 4 were adenocarcinoma, and the rest 17 were adenoma. The coincidence rate of preoperative biopsy results and postoperative pathology was 38.1%(8/21), and underestimate of the pathological stage occurred in 11 patients (52.4%) during the preoperative biopsy, overestimate occurred in two patients (9.5%). Four cases had a positive incisal margin. All patients had good prognoses and no death event occurred during the follow-up period.Conclusions:Early-stage major duodenal papilla neoplasms should be treated with aggressive resection. Endoscopic papillectomy of duodenal papilla neoplasms is safe, effective, and can be recommended as the preferred procedure for major duodenal papilla neoplasms.
