Objective To study the effect of magnetic doxorubicin stealth liposome on human gastric cancer xenografts in nude mice.Methods Human gastric cancer cell line MKN-45 was implanted into 36 nude mice.Different kinds of drug were injected through the caudal vein of tumor bearing nude mice divided into 6 groups .Permanent magnet was put into tumor in targeting group.Results The growth speed of tumor in the group of MDL (+) significantaly slowed down than other groups.The rate of tumor restrain in tumor weight and tumor volume of MDL (+) group were 71% and 70%, which were remarkably higher than those of the DOX and MDL (-) group (all P

Baekground:Obstetric hemorrhage is a major cause of maternal death during cesarean delivery.The objective of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of intra-operative cell salvage (IOCS) in cesarean section.Methods:We included a total of 361 patients diagnosed with central placenta previa who underwent cesarean section from May 2016 to December 2018.In this study,196 patients received autologous transfusion using IOCS (IOCS group) and 165 patients accepted allogeneic blood transfusion (ABT group).Propensity score matched analysis was performed to balance differences in the baseline variables between the IOCS group and ABT group.Patients in the IOCS group were matched 1:1 to patients in the ABT group.Results:After propensity score matching,137 pairs of cases between the two groups were successfully matched and no significant differences in baseline characteristics were found between the IOCS group and ABT group.Patients in the IOCS group were associated with significantly shorter length of hospital stay,compared with ABT group (8.9 ±4.1 days vs.10.3 ± 5.2 days,t=-2.506,P =0.013).The postoperative length of hospital stay was 5.3 ± 1.4 days for patients in the IOCS group and 6.6 ± 3.6 days for those in the ABT group (t =-4.056,P ＜ 0.001).The post-operative hemoglobin level in the IOCS group and ABT group was 101.3 ± 15.4 and 96.3 ± 16.6g/L,respectively,which were significantly different (t=2.615,P=0.009).Allogeneic red blood cell transfusion was significantly lower at 0 unit (range:0-11.5 units) in the IOCS group when compared with 2 units (range:1-20 units) in the ABT group (P ＜ 0.001).Condusions:This retrospective observational study using propensity score matched analysis suggested that IOCS was associated with shorter length of postoperative hospital stay and higher post-operative hemoglobin levels during cesarean delivery.

Objective To study the susceptible factors of atherosclerotic stenosis before the coronary artery myocardial bridges.Methods The data from 88 myocardial bridge cases which received coronary angiography were statistically analyzed.Sixty-seven cages which suffered from atherosclerofic stenesis in proximal of the myocardial bridges were recruited into group A,and the other 21 cases which suffered no atherosclerotic stenosis or from atherosclerotic stenosis in distal of the myocardial bridges were mcmited into group B.Difference of the age,gender,length of myocardial bridge,systolic blood pressure (SBP),diastolic blood pressure (DBP),pulse pressure (PP),the oppression degree of myocardial bridge (Nobel classification),fasting plasma glucose (FPG),and blood fat,and so on,in two groups,were observed and statistically analyzed.Results The difference of the Nobel classification,SBP and PP in two groups showed a statistical significance (P＜0.05).While the difference of the age,gender,length of myocardial bridge,DBP,FPG,total cholesterol,low-density hpoprotein in two groups showed no statistical significance (P＞0.05).A further regression analysis suggested that Nobel classification and PP had a correlation with the comphcation of stonosis before the myocardial bridge (r=3.0569,0.9740,P＜0.05).Conclusions High blood pressure cases are liable to suffer from myocardial bridge.Myocardial bridges themselves trend to promote or accelerate the atherosclerotic stenosis of the coronary arteries before.them.The oppression degree of myocardial bridge and PP has a correlation with the complication of stenosis before the myocardial bridge,while has no correlations with age,gender,bloodfat,SBP,DBP,FPG,length of myocardial bridge,and so on.

Objective To determine the safety and efficacy of robotic mitral valvereplacement using da Vinci S system.Methods From August 2008 to April 2011, over 400 cases of robotic cardiac surgery have been completed in Chinese PLA general hospital, in which 20 patients with isolated mitral valve stenosis underwent robotic mitral replacement, including 7 male and 13 female patients with a mean age of (44.7 ±9.8) years (ranging from 32 to 65 years). 16 patients had a NYHA class Ⅰ～Ⅱ heart function and 4 patients were NYHA class Ⅲ. Fifteen patients were concomitant with atiral fibrillation. Surgery approach was achieved through 4 right chest ports with femoral perfusion and Chitwood aortic occlusion. Antegrade cold blood cardioplegia was administered directly via chest for myocardial protection. The transesophageal echocardiography was used intraoperatively to estimate the surgical results. Results All patients had successful valve replacement including mechanical and tissue valve replacement. There was no conversion to a median sternotomy. The mean cardiopulmonary bypass and arrested heart time were(137.1 ±21.9) minutes and (99.3 ±17.4) minutes. Echocardiographic follow-up in all patients revealed no complications. Conclusion Robotic mitral valve replacement is safe and efficacious in the patients with isolated mitral valve disease.

Objective: To better understand homing potentiality of hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in human umbilial cord blood (UCB) and the mechanism of dextran sulfate (DS) mobilization. Methods: Sub lethally irradiated or DS pretreated severe combined immunodeficient (SCID) mice were transplanted with UCB, which was cryopreserved at -80℃.Human cells in recipient mice were detected by flow cytometry and CFU GM assay from each host organ. Results: In contrast with the controls, engraftment after irradiation or administration of DS resulted in a higher percentage of CD45 +,CD34 +,CD19 + cells produced in SCID mice. While comparison between the experimental groups, higher implantation level was obtained in the former if equivalent donor cells were used in both groups. Conclusion:DS is a safe and effective pretreatment, which can mobilize HSC, but also vocate niches for transplanted HSC homing. [

OBJECTIVETo evaluate incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients by meta-analysis.

METHODSFrom January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2013, clinical literatures about postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients,were searched from the Pubmed. Literature extract table were formed according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Stata-12.0 was applied for Meta-analysis. P was used to test heterogeneity of study, random-effect model was performed when I2 > 50%. Subgroup analysis was used according to stage of age, assessment scale of delirium and statistical area of literature. Begg test was used to test publication bias.

RESULTSTwenty-one literatures were included. Incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients by weighted and combination was 17% [95% CI (16%, 18%)]. Incidence of postoperative delirium after optional hip surgery was decreased more than emergency operation in included 5 literatures [OR = 0.32, 95% CI (0.22, 0.45)]. Incidence of postoperative delirium in patients less than 80 years old was 21% [95% CI (19%, 23%)], while 21% [95% CI (19%, 24%)] in patients more than 80 years old. Incidence of postoperative delirium in CAM evaluation scale was 23% [95% CI (21%, 26%)], while 19% [95% CI (17%, 21%)] in other evaluation scales. Incidence of postoperative delirium in Asian area was 17% [95% CI (15%, 20%)], while 23% [95% CI (21%, 25%)] in European and American area. There was no publication bias tested by Begg test (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIncidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients increases higher, especially in emergency operation. A standardizing research method is benefit for evaluate incidence of postoperative delirium after hip surgery in elderly patients, decreasing heterogeneity and publication bias.
