Objective To evaluate the values of clinical application of color Doppler ultrasound in the diagnosis and treatment of iatrogenic femoral artery pseudoaneurysm (IFAP) in the elderly following percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty(PTCA). Methods A tota.of 35 patients aged(73.8±1.3) years with IFAP after PTCA were examined by color Doppler ultrasound.All cases were treated by compression simply for blocking blood flow with probe guided by ultrasound,and the failed cases were injected Reptilase into the lumen of pesudoaneurysm. Results 35 patients were diagnosed as IFAP by color Doppler ultrasound and the coincidence rate with clinical diagnosis was 100％ (35/35).Among all patients,31 cases were cured by simply compression guided by ultrasound and 3 cases were cured hy the injected reptilase into lumen,the cure rate was 97.15％(34/35).One cases was cured by surgery after failure to treat by the two above methods.34 cases (97.2％)were verified into occlusio by ultrasound after 24-48 h of treatment. Recurrence and other serious complications were not found during follow-up of 3-6 months. Conclusions Color Doppler ultrasound can be used for the preferred method in accurate diagnosis and effective cure of IFAP following PTCA in the elderly.

Objective To investigate radiation-related human plasma metabolic features by using metabonomics method and to analyze relative metabolic pathway .Methods The plasma samples of 40 patients pre-and post-total body irradiation (TBI) from January 2012 to May 2014 were collected, and the effect of TBI on human plasma metabolites was studied by gas chromatography mass spectrometry ( GC-MS) , and the differential plasma metabolic features related to irradiation damage were screened . Results The levels of glucose, myristic acid, oxalic acid, 3-hydroxy butyric acid, urea, aspartic acid, valine, leucine, lysine and threonine in plasma were significantly (P<0.05) increased after TBI, while the levels of cholesterol, pyruvic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, alanine, glycine, inositol, sorbitan, ethylene glycol and hypoxanthine were decreased drastically (P<0.05).Conclusions TBI could cause significant changes in the levels of human plasma metabolites including amino acid metabolism , glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism and so on.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficiency of humanized anti-CD52 monoclonal antibody (Campath-1H) and anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody (Zenapax) induction therapy in intestinal transplantation patients.Method The data of 6 patients receiving Campath-1H and 5 patients receving Zenapax induction therapy in intestinal transplantation between 2007 and 2012 were analyzed retrospectively.The counts of peripheral blood lymphocytes and monocytes,incidence of rejection and infention,and liver and kidney toxicity of recipients were recorded before and 3 months after transplantation.Results Of 6 intestinal transplantation patients receiving Campath-1H induction therapy,1 died of acute heart failure on the postoperative day 3,and the rest 5 patients had a powerful depletion of lymphocytes and monocytes in 8 weeks,followed by gradual increases after 8 weeks.The percentage of peripheral blood CD3 + T cells,CD4 + T cells,and CD8 + T cells was dropped to 5％ before administration,and remained at a steady low level in the first 8 weeks after induction.Of 5 patients receiving Zenapax induction therapy,1 died of Aspergillus infection on the postoperative day 25,and the rest 4 patients had an obeivous increase of lymphocytes and monocytes on the postoperative day 1.Counts of lymphocytes and monocytes kept steady at normal levels from the 1st to 12th week.One case of mild rejection was found in Campath-1H group.One case of mild,one moderate and one severe rejection were detected in Zenapax group.All rejections were successfully cured by prompt anti-rejection therapy.There were no significant difference in serum creatimine,urea nitrogen,alanine aminotransferase or total bilirubin after 3 months in comparison to preoperation.Conclusion Both Campath-1H induction therapy and Zenapax induction therapy successfully induce immune tolerance in patients with intestinal transplantation.Campath-1H seems to offer better immunosuppression against Zenapax during the first 3 months posttransplantation.

Heart conditions , cardiac output and shunt patency were measured by echocardiography .Right ventricular systolic pressure ( RVSP ) and Qp/Qs were checked by catheterization . Right ventricular hypertrophy index ( RVHI) was calculated and lung tissues were examined by pathology using hematoxylin -eosin and elastin Van Gieson staining .All data were analyzed statistically by one-way ANOVA test using SPSS 16.0.Results There was no significant difference in body weight gains between the groups .The patency rate of shunt was 84.6%.The heart was enlarged in the group shunt .Cardiac output increased significantly in the shunt group than that in the other two groups [(309.8 ±33.1) mL/min?kg vs.(245.6 ±31.9) mL/min?kg, (240.8 ±30.9)mL/min?kg, respectively, P<0.05].In the shunt group Qp/Qs was 2.16 ±0.38 and RVSP increased to (35.8 ±4.9) mmHg, RVHI was 0.3263 ± 0.0342, significantly higher than that of the other groups .The pulmonary arteriolar wall was evidently thickened in contrast to that in the sham group [ ( 22.3 ±1.7 )% vs.( 10.6 ±1.7 )%, P <0.05 ) .Conclusions Anastomosis of the left common carotid artery to left external jugular vein can successfully establish pulmonary arterial hypertension model induced by high blood flow in rats .

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of monitoring parameters and methods of immunosuppresive treatment in intestinal transplantation and to provide scientific evidence for establishment of Intestinal Transplant Registry.Methods The data of 15 patients receiving intestinal transplantation between 1994 and 2009 were analyzed retrospectively for one year. The patients were fallen into 3 eras (1994-1995, 2003-2006, 2007-2009) according to different immunosuppresive strategies. The perioperative status and one-year survival rate were followed up. The monitoring frequency of implications of intestinal transplantation, such as rejection, infection, toxic and side-effects, was evaluated. The monitoring parameters were examined in the proportion of lymphocytes, concentration of tacrolimus, and function of the liver and kidney during a follow-up period of one year.Results During 1994-1995 and 2003-2006, the survival time of grafts was under one year. During 2007-2009, the 6-month and one-year survival rate in 5 patients (grafts) was 100% and 83.33% respectively; The increased frequency of rejection occurred during 7 to 12 months after operation; The closure of abdominal stoma was postponed from postoperative six months to one year; Asymptomatic mild rejection after operation was examined (10/13, 76.92%).Conclusion During one year postoperation, monitoring methods, parameters and frequency for immunosuppressive treatment in intestinal transplantation are rational, and may monitor the disease conditions of the patients.

Objective To explore the status, characteristics and factors in relation to occupational stress for medical staffs in tertiary general hospitals. Methods A total of 2460 medical staff were sampled in five tertiary general hospitals in Beijing, with their occupational stress levels evaluated with the Occupational Stress Inventory. Results The top ten stressors as found ranked as heavy duty, high risk exposure, high workload, low wages, setbacks in the health care management system, insufficient staffing, excessively frequent inspections and examinations, strained doctor-patient relationship, price inflation, frequent overtime, and pressure from continuous learning. Occupational stress is seen as moderate and above by 95.2% of the surveyed. Differences in age, gender, marital status, professional title, education, work experience, as well as those of different organizations, departments, professions, and duty were found to be statistically significant in regard of professional stress. Conclusions Stress management should be in place targeting demographic and stress characteristics. Effective measures are recommended to alleviate the pressure on medical staff, in order to maintain their physical and mental health, hence improving their work efficiency and organizational cohesion.

Objective To evaluate the safety, effectiveness and feasibility of robotic-assisted kidney transplantation (RAKT). Methods Clinical data of 16 patients who underwent kidney transplantation were collected. Among them, 8 recipients received RAKT (RAKT group) and 8 cases underwent open kidney transplantation (OKT) with the contralateral kidney from the same donor (OKT group). Perioperative status and the recovery of renal allograft function were compared between two groups. Results All patients successfully completed the surgery. In the RAKT group, no patient was converted to open surgery. The operation time in the RAKT group was longer than that in the OKT group (P=0.015). No significant differences were observed in the serum creatinine levels before surgery and upon discharge between two groups (both P>0.05). In the OKT group, one recipient developed delayed graft function (DGF), and the remaining recipients did not experience perioperative complications. No significant difference was noted in the short-term recovery of renal allograft function between two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions Postoperative recovery of the recipients in the RAKT group is equivalent to that of their counterparts in the OKT group. RAKT is a safe and effective procedure for the team expertise in kidney transplantation.
