Objective To observe the clinical feasibility and effects of regional nerve blockade in patients with heart failure.Methods The study enrolled a total of 10 patients,age range from 55 to 75 years old(average 64?11 years old).The subject includes 8 males and 2 females,among which 6 cases were ischemic cardiomyopathy and 4 cases were dilated cardiomyopathy.All the patients met the criteria of NYHA class Ⅲ-Ⅳ heart function with heavy fluid load unresponsive to optimal medical therapy.Patients with diabetes and renal failure were ruled out from the study.After application of local anesthesia,15 mL of 0.25% Naropin was injected inside Gerota's fascia to achieve regional nerve blockade under CT guidance.Serum and urine electrolytes,neurohormones,renal clearance of sodium and 24-hour urine volume were recorded 24 h before and after the operation.Variartions in heart rate,blood pressure and symptons of dyspnea and edema were also under monitor.Results After nerve blockade,the 24-hour urine volume and renal sodium clearance increased obviously while the level of neurohormones decreased compared with that before operation.No obvious changes in heart rate and blood pressure were recorded and the symptons of heart failure were improved in the patients after operation. No complication was recorded in the study. Conclusion Regional nerve blockade may be a feasible,safe and effective treatment for congestive heart failure patients who do not respond well to the existing optimal medical therapy.

OBJECTIVE:To study the association between the reticulated platelets(RP) percentage and aspirin resistance(AR) with the percentage of reticulated platelets in whole blood representing the platelets turnover rate to illuminate the influence of platelets turnover rate on AR.METHODS:The RP percentage and arachidonic acid(AA) and adenosine diphosphate(ADP)-induced platelet aggregation in 80 patients after receiving aspirin(100 mg?day) for no less than 7 days were determined.The patients were divided into AR group,aspirin semi-resistance(ASR) group,and aspirin sensitive(AS) group,and the RP percentage in the three groups were compared.RESULTS:RP percentages in AR,ASR,and AS groups were(4.11?2.62)%,(2.23?1.79)%,and(2.18?1.24)%,respectively,showing signficant differneces between AR group and AS group(P0.05).CONCLUSION:Increased platelets turnover may induce AR,therefore,the patients with coronary artery disease should receive aspirn for multiple daily(antiplatelet therapy) or to take controlled release or sustained release aspirin.The safety and efficacy of these therapies should be confirmed in clinical trials.

Objective To investigate the incidence of fetal malnutrition( FM), its affected factors and their relationship with small - for gestational - age (SGA) fetus. Methods The intrauterinal growth of fetus was evaluated by the body weight of neonates and FM was detected by clinical assessment of nutritional status ( CANS ). Results ①33 out of 204 cases were found to be FM (16% ). FM in SGA group was significantly higher than that in AGA group ( 5.9% ) (x2 = 69.9, P ＜ 0. 01 ).② When ot = 0. 05, the body weight and head circumference of neonates, the education level of mothers were included into logistic regression model, and their regression coefficient were negative. Conclusion SGA was supposed to be two of the risk factors in developing FM. Fetus with low body weight, small head circumference and not - so - well educated mother were prone to suffer from FM.
