Purpose To evaluate the left ventricular regional diastolic function in coronary heart disease (CHD) patients without regional wall motion abnormality by real-time three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (RT3D-STI) to investigate the value of RT3D-STI in the diagnosis of early CHD. Materials and Methods 140 CHD patients with 420 coronary artery main branches were enrolled and divided into 4 groups according to the results of coronary angiography (CAG): normal group (101 coronary artery branches without stenosis), mild stenosis group (112 coronary artery branches with stenosis<50%), moderate stenosis group (95 coronary artery branches with stenosis 50%-75%) and sever stenosis group (112 coronary artery branches with stenosis>75%). Three dimensional full volume images were collected through the chest, and the corresponding strain imaging diastolic index (SI-DI) of each direction was calculated, their value for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease was analyzed. Results The longitudinal, area and radial SI-DI of mild coronary artery stenosis group were lower than those of normal group (P<0.05);the longitudinal, area, radial and circumferential SI-DI of moderate coronary artery stenosis group were lower than normal group (P<0.05) and the area, longitudinal and circumferential SI-DI were lower than those of the mild stenosis group (P<0.05);the longitudinal, area, radial and circumferential SI-DI were all lower than those of normal and mild stenosis group (P<0.05), and the area, longitudinal and radial SI-DI were all lower than the moderate stenosis group (P<0.05). ROC curve showed that the sensitivity of longitudinal SI-DI (84.0%) was highest, while the specificity of area SI-DI (78.9%) was the highest. Conclusion RT3D-STI has important significance for early detection and diagnosis of CHD, regional diastolic function decrease of the coronary artery supply area occurs earlier than systolic function reduction, and diastolic function is more sensitive for myocardial ischemia, as a result, SI-DI is able to reflect the stenosis degree of coronary artery in a certain extent.

Objective To investigate the in-hospital death-related factors for acute encephalocele in patients with craniocerebral injury for craniotomy in order to provide evidence for clinical treatment and prognosis determina-tion.Methods The clinical data of 105 patients with craniocerebral injury occurring acute encephalocele during cra-niotomy were analyzed retrospectively.The correlations of the factors including sex,age,preoperative Glasgow coma scale(GCS)scores,preoperative intracranial pressure(ICP),postoperative pupil status,causes of encephalocel,post-operative GCS scores,postoperative ICP,coagulation mechanism,brain swelling,preoperative hypoxia,preoperative blood pressure and blood glucose were analyzed.Results The prognosis was assessed according to the Glasgow out-come scale(GOS)scores after procedure.There were 77 patients in death group(namely death cases)and 28 patients in survival group.Logistic regression analysis showed that postoperative GCS scores (Wald =14.127,Exp(B)=0.044,95%CI:0.032,0.448),causes of encephalocel(Wald =7.748,Exp(B)=8.183,95%CI:1.825,10.251), postoperative ICP(Wald =7.637,Exp(B)=7.637,95% CI:1.969,8.028),postoperative pupil status(Wald =4.001,Exp(B)=2.499,95%CI:1.019,5.122)and blood glucose(Wald =7.915,Exp(B)=8.891,95% CI:1.790,9.337)were closely associated with the in-hospital death in patients with acute encephalocele in craniocere-bral injury operation(P <0.05).Conclusion The postoperative GCS scores,causes of encephalocel,postoperative ICP,postoperative pupil status and blood glucose could be used as the important indexes for predicting in-hospital death of acute encephalocele in craniocerebral injury for craniotomy.To prevent the intraoperative encephalocele and reduce the intracranial pressure are the important measures to reduce the mortality rate of the patients with acute encephalocele.

AIM: To evaluate the use of 23G minimally invasive vitreous cutting system in the first stage of anterior segment reconstruction on severe ocular injury.
METHODS: Fifteen patients with ocular injuries including the corneal and scleral rupture associated hyphema, vitreous hernia in anterior chamber, traumatic lens rupture, lens subluxation, applied 23G minimally invasive vitreous cutting system in the first stage of anterior segment reconstruction.
RESULTS: The anterior ocular media of early postoperative became transparent quickly. No exudative lemma and no complications were found relate to puncture incisions after operations.
CONCLUSION:23G minimally invasive vitreous cutting system can be used in the first stage of anterior segment reconstruction on sever ocular injury. It can reduce iatrogenic injury, operative complications and inflammatory response, also can shorten therapeutic time and create favorable conditions.

Objective Through active intervention of nursing care to improve the cognitive rate of hy-pertension, rate of blood pressure control and treatment compliance for hypertensive patients to reach the aim of alleviation of prognosis and reduction of disability and mortality. Methods Free physical examinations were carried out in population groups of above 30 years old in a certain community in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and family health files were set up. Totally 108 patients were screened and standardized management was applied in them,besides their conditions before and after the application of the management were investi-gated and analyzed by self-designed "prevention and treatment of hypertension as a chronic disease" and "in-vestigation questionnaire of KAP of patients with hypertension". Results The cognitive rate and rate of con-trol of high blood pressure were more higher after intervention than that before. Conclusions Through a planned health education instruction, popularizing prevention and treatment knowledge of primary hypertension to residents, we can increase the cognitive rate and rate of control of high blood pressure for patients with hyper-tension.
