Objective: To summarize and analyze the early outcomes and clinical experience in 1198 patients undergone off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). Methods: This multi-center report covers 15 different institutes in China from October 1996 to May 2002. The ratio of OPCAB to conventional coronary artery bypass grafting (cCABG) was 85.2%. The mean age was (61.6?9.0) years. 77.3% patients were male and 22.7% were female. There were 34.6% patients with myocardial infarction, 58.2% with unstable angina pectoris, 18.7% with left main lesion, 76.9% with triple-vessel disease, 1.5% was redo surgery, and 9.9% emergent or urgent surgery. The mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.56?0.17. Results: The number of distal anastomosis was 3.1?0.9. IMA was used in 65.6% patients and radial artery was used in 18.0%. 13.5% OPCAB was combined with TMLR. IABP was used in 5.2% patients. The hospital mortality was 1.2%. The morbidity included 0.4% peri-operative myocardial infarction, 0.3% heart failure, 1.2% fatal arrhythmia, 2.0% pulmonary complications, 1.2% neurotic disorder, 0.7% renal dysfunction, 1.0% reopen for bleeding, and 0.6% delayed wound healing. Conclusion: OPCAB surgery is a safe and feasible procedure with good early results. Its late outcomes need further follow-up. OPCAB requires certain special skills and methods in practice so a specific training course should be designed.

Objective To detect the level of nitric oxide (NO) and amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of epilepsy children in different time. Methods The level of NO and amino acids in cerebrospinal fluid and serum of epilepsy children in different time were determined with nitrate reductase and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorimetric detection. Results The level of NO2 - increased 30 min, 60 min, 120 min after seizures (P<0.01), but dropped to normal 180 min after seizures (P>0.05). The level of glutamate (Glu) significantly increased in all epilepsy groups (P<0.05). The level of glycine (Gly) dropped gradually in all epilepsy groups (P<0.05).Conclusion NO may participate in the generation of seizures and the injury process to brain. The imbalance between excitatory and inhibitory amino acids may play an important role in the pathogenesis of epilepsy. The toxicity of excitatory amino acids may be the main injury to the brain.

Objective:To observe the effect of attenuated-dose aflibercept in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP).Methods:A non-randomized controlled study was conducted, and 76 eyes of 38 ROP pediatric patients treated in First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from December 2018 to May 2020 were enrolled.According to the requirements of their guardians, the patients were divided into ranibizumab group with 42 eyes of 21 cases and attenuated-dose aflibercept group with 34 eyes of 17 cases, and received intravitreal injection of ranibizumab 0.025 ml (0.25 mg) or aflibercept 0.012 5 ml (0.5 mg) according to grouping respectively.Retcam fundus photography was used to observe the treatment response at 1 week, 2, 4 weeks and 2, 3, and 6 months after treatment, and the effective rate at the end of follow-up was calculated.The intraocular pressure was measured with Icare PRO magnetic rebound tonometer at 1 minute, 10, and 30 minutes after injection. The ocular and systemic complications were observed during the 6-month follow-up period.All the guardians signed the informed consent prior to treatment.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University (No.2020-KY-228).Results:The effective rates of single ranibizumab and attenuated-dose aflibercept were 90.5% (38/42) and 88.2% (30/34), respectively, with no significant difference between the two groups ( χ2=0.10, P=0.75). The intraocular pressure of the ranibizumab group at 1 minute and 10 minutes after the operation were higher than those of the attenuated-dose aflibercept group, and the difference was statistically significant (both at P<0.01). The intraocular pressure recovered to the baseline level at 30 minutes after the operation.In the ranibizumab group, 4 eyes were ineffective after a single injection, among which 2 eyes were effective after second intravitreal injection of ranibizumab and 1 eye was effective after retinal laser photocoagulation treatment and 1 eye underwent vitrectomy due to the progress of retinal detachment one week after intravitreal injection, and the posterior retina reattached well.In the attenuated-dose aflibercept group, 4 eyes did not respond to treatment, of which 3 eyes were effective after second intravitreal injection of aflibercept, and 1 eye was effective after retinal laser photocoagulation.No ocular or systemic complications were observed during the followed-up period. Conclusions:Reduced dose of aflibercept is safe and effective in the treatment of ROP, and has little influence on intraocular pressure.

Based on previous results of 16S rDNA sequence homologuous and results of physic-biochemical indexes and morphological characteristics in the present work, bacterial strain ge15 isolated from roots of ginseng plants was identified as Stenotrophomonas rhizophila. Confronting incubation results showed that, strain ge15 inhibited the growth of Alternaria panax, Phytophthora cactorum, and Cylindrocapon destructans significantly, and the width of inhibition zone was 13.3, 24.0, 12.0 mm, respectively. Further results showed that the emergence rate and seedling survive rate of ge15 treatment was significantly higher than those of the control, and which was similar to pesticide carbendazol treatment. The ge15 strain has good application potential in ginseng diseases control without contamination.

Objective To observe the efficacy in combination with Hemp seed pill and lactulose oral solution for treating cancer pafients with constipation induced by morphine-type drugs.Methods 62 Cancer patients with constipation induced by morphine-type drugs diagnosed by pathology or cytology were collected from January 2013 to July 2016 in Suzhou BenQ hospital for this study.The patients in study group received both Hemp seed pill and lactulose oral solution, and patients in control group received lactulose oral solution only.After treatment for 3 weeks,some indexes were observed, including outcomes in the overall response rates, Karnofsky score, weight.Results The total effective rate of the study group was higher than the control group(77.4%vs 48.3%, P<0.05), the difference was statistically significant;After treatment,Karnofsky score and the percentage of patients gaining weight in study group were markedly higher than those in control group,the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).Conclusion Hemp seed pill combined with lactulose oral solution has a good clinical efficacy in treating pafients with constipation induced by morphine-type drugs, and can improve patient's quality of life.

Objective To work out the uroflow parameters of normal children in Changsha area.Methods Overall,1048 tests of uroflow rate were performed on 1024 healthy children.The results of these tests were classified into several groups by sex,age,body surface area and urine volume voided.These data were statistically analyzed with SPSS10.0 software.For each group,the nomograms of uroflow parameters(including urine volume, body surface area,mean uroflow rate,and maximum uroflow rate) were drawn for clarifying the relationship among them.Results The maximum uroflow rate(Qmax) of the boys younger than 7 years increased with age;the Qmax increased 1.7ml/s with age increasing 1 year.The boys older than 7 years had the Qmax similar to that of adults.The Qmax of the girls younger than 9 years increased with age,the Qmax increased 1.2ml/s with age increasing 1 year.The girls older than 9 years had the Qmax similar to that of adults.In children,the Qmax,mean uroflow rate and urine volume increased with the increase in body surface area.Similarly,the Qmax and mean uroflow rate increased with the increase in urine volume voided.Conclusions The Qmax of boys younger than 7 years and girls younger than 9 years is obviously related with age.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features of and appropriate surgical modality for congenital choledochal cyst(CCC). Methods Retrospective study on the clinical data of 85 surgically treated CCC cases was made. Results Among the 85 cases 12 were found malignant in character(14%). Out of the 29 cases in which the junction of pancreaticobiliary ductal system was showed by image, junction anomaly was identified in 26 cases. Surgical correction was applied to 83 cases with cyst excision and Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunostomy as the main procedure. External drainage of the CCC was adopted first in 4 cases to tide the patients over serious infection, before second stage definite radical resection was carried out. Excellent and good result were achieved on follow-up in 47 out of 60 CCC cases undergoing CCC resection and Roux-en-Y reconstruction, while only one out of 6 undergoing CCC internal drainage enjoyed fair result. Conclusions External drainage is mandatory for CCC patients with severe infection. The total choledochal cyst excision, with Roux-en-Y hepaticojejunstomy is effective in the treatment of CCC.

Objective cyclin D1 gene plays a significant role in regulating cell cycle progression.Suppression of cyclin D1 protcin expression can effect on cellular proliferation,distribution of cell cycle and apoptosis.This study was to determine whether this effect also existed in chronic leukemia ceil line K562 by inhibiting the expression of cyclin D1 protein through RNA interference in vetro.Methods Plasmid vectors expressing small hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting at cyclin D1 gene were constructed and transfected into K562 cells by chitosan,cyclin D1 protein was examined by using Western blot analysis.Inhibition of cellular proliferation was evaluated hy soft agar colony formation assay.The cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by flow cytometry.Results Expression of cyclin D1 protein was markedly down-regulated and capability of colony formation was suppressed after transfection with pshRNA-419 and pshRNA-575 at 48h.Down-regulation of cyclin D1 protein could effect on distribution of cell cycle arrested at G_0/G_1 phase and markedly induce apoptosis of K562 cells.But there had no above biological effects ob- served after transfection with blank vector and control vector of m-pshRNA-790.Conclusion Down-regulation of cyclin D1 expression can inhibit growth of K562 cells,and effect on distribution of cell cycle arrested at G_0/G_1 phase.The primary results suggest that cyclin D1 gene might serve as an effective target for the treatment of leukemia.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effects and assess the feasibility of radiofrequency thermo- coagulation denervation(TRD)mediated by digital subtraction angiography(DSA)for patients with lumbar facet joint syndrome(LFJS).Methods Eighty LFJS patients were randomly divided into two groups:a denervated group(groupⅠ)and a control group (groupⅡ).The lumbar facet joints of the patients in groupⅠwere treated with TRD,while those in groupⅡhad their lumbar facet joint cavities injected with the mixture of 1 mg betamethasone and 1 ml lidocaine.All patients were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale(VAS)before treatment and 30 rain,1 d, 1 w,1 m and 6 m after.Schober values were measured at 1 w,1 m and 6 m after treatment.The therapeutic effects and side effects were assessed at 6 m after treatment.Results VAS scores in groupsⅠandⅡat 30 min,1 d,1 w and 1 m after treatment were remarkably lower than before treatment.In addition,those in groupⅠ6m after treatment were also significantly lower(P＜0.01).Compared with those in the groupⅡ,VAS scores in groupⅠwere signifi- cantly decreased at 1 m and 6 m after treatment(P＜0.05 and P＜0.01,respectively).The schober values in groupⅠat 1 m and 6m were obviously increased in comparison with those in groupⅡ,while the therapeutic effects in groupⅠat 6m after treatment were better than those in groupⅡ(P＜0.01).There were no side effects,such as injuries to the nerve roots or dysfunctional dermal sensation,in either group.Conclusion TRD,mediated by DSA,has ther- apeutic effects on LFJS.Such treatment is safe,convenient,and gives long-term pain relief.
