Objective To investigate the effects of Danshen Duofensuanyan on the blood coagulation,inflammatory and cardiac function in acute myocardial infarction(AMI) patients who did not accept emergency percutaneous coronary intervention.Methods One hundred and twenty patients,from January 2012 to November 2014 in the First Hospital of Qinhuangdao admission due to acute myocardial infarction frequent episodes of angina(Killip grade Ⅱ,grade m),were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n =60) and observation group (n =60).All patients suffered from severe angina after AMI and heart failure but without PCI.All included patients were gave antiplatelet drug,anticoagulants and Statins,etc.And the patients in observation group were additionally given 7-day Danshen Duofensuanyan injection 200 mg/d once daily intravenously.Platelet aggregation rate (PAG),fibrinogen (FIB),c-reaction protein (CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR),troponin Ⅰ (TNI),plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular end diastolic dimension(LVEDD),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and cardiac output (CO) of two group were monitored before and after treatment.Results (1)Changes in coagulation,inflammatory cytokines and enzymes between the treatment group and the control group after treatment (Treatment Group:PAG (22.32 ±17.61) ％,FIB(3.58±0.74) g/L,CRP(9.34±1.82) mg/L,ESR(10.1±4.6) mm/1 h,TNI(4.51± 1.89) ng/ml);control group:PAG(31.32±21.62)％,FIB(3.84±0.62) g/L,CRP (14.32±1.79) mg/L,ESR(13.2 ± ±5.4) mm/1 h,TNI(5.32±2.31) μg/L) and before treatment(Treatment group:PAG(88.87± 18.21) ％,FIB (4.78±0.97) g/L,CRP(32.13±11.59) mg/L,ESR(28.5±6.1) mm/1 h,TNI (56.43 ± 21.87) μg/L);control group:PAG (89.53± 19.35) ％,FIB (4.66 ± 0.78) g/L,CRP (29.06± 12.47) mg/L,ESR (29.3 ± 3.2) mm/1 h,TNI (53.69± 18.76) μg/L) were significandy improved,and the differences were statistically significant (P＜0.01),and observation group had more significant improvements than the control group(P＜0.05 or P ＜0.01) after treatment.(2) All aboved indexes were improved after treatment except LVEDD.And Danshen Duofensuanyan can significantly improve PAG,FIB,CRP,ESR,TNI,BNP LVEF and CO(P＜0.05 or P ＜0.01).Conclusion Danshen Duofensuanyan can effectively improve the blood rheology and the frequency of angina,and then improve heart functions.

Objective The stentless full root aortic bioprosthesis has superior hemodynamics.Clinical data of Bio-Bentall procedure using stentless full root bioprosthesis of our center was retrospectively analyzed in this perspective for validation.Methods From November 2001 to March 2009,317 adult patients ( 196 male and 121 female) underwent modified Bio-Bentall procedure using the Medtronic Freestyle xenograft as a full root replacement.Two hundred and three patients received an isolated root replacement or a root and ascending aortic replacement (ARR).In 114 patients a variety of concomitant procedures including coronary artery bypass grafting ( n =32 ),mitral valve repair ( n =11 ) and aortic arch replacement ( n =36 ) were performed.(ARR + ).Results Mean patient age was (70.3 ± 10.2) years (range 17 -94 years),97 patients were 75 and older at time of procedure.Mean operative time for the ARR was ( 190 ± 57 ) min with a clamp time of 88 - 27 min.Mean operative time for ARR + group was (282 ±93) min with an average clamp time of (110 ±32) min.Overall operative mortality was 7.9％ (25/317),for ARR it was 5.4％ (11/203 ).Mean ICU stay was (4.9 ± 8.1 ) days,mean hospital stay being (9.8 ± 8.1 ) days.Necessity for bailout bypass surgery among patients with ARR was low at 1.5％ (3/203) comparable to stented xenograft implantations.Echocardiography demonstrated excellent clinical results with low transvalvular gradients especially when a single suture inflow anastomosis technique was used.Conclusion Full root stentless valve implantation preserving porcine root integrity is a valuable option in aortic valve/ascending aorta surgery.Though technically a more challenging operation,it does not lead to increased perioperative morbidity and mortality and can be beneficial mainly for elderly patients with small aortic roots with or without aortic root pathology.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect and medical cost of different revascularization strategies for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients with multi-vessel disease (MVD).Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted. From January 2009 to June 2012, patients with AMI and MVD undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) were enrolled. They were randomly assigned to group A [staged PCI for non-infarction related artery (non-IRA) within 7-10 days after AMI] and group B (subsequent PCI for non-IRA recommended only for those with evidence of ischemia). All of patients were given optimized medical therapy according to clinical guideline, and they were followed up for 24 months at regular intervals. Major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE) including recurrence of myocardial infarction and death due to cardiac ailments were recorded. Meanwhile, re-hospitalization from cardiac causes, recurrence of angina, heart failure, and re-PCI, number of stents, total hospital stay days, and total medical expenditure were recorded.Results A total of 428 patients accomplished the 24-month follow up. All the patients underwgennt PCI for non-IRA in group A (215 patients), while 62 patients in group B (213 patients) undergone PCI for myocardial ischemia, and 51 patients received non-IRA treatment. There was no significant difference in MACE incidence between group A and group B [8.4% (18/215) vs. 10.8% (23/213),χ2= 0.727,P = 0.394]. The difference of death rate due to cardiac causes (5.1% vs. 6.6%), recurrence of myocardial infarction (4.2% vs. 6.6%), and heart failure (4.2% vs. 7.0%) were not significantly different between groups A and B (allP> 0.05). The rate of recurrence of angina (14.4 % vs. 32.9%), re-hospitalization from cardiac causes (14.4% vs. 33.8%), and re-treatment of implanting stents (12.6% vs. 29.1%) were significantly lower in group A than group B (allP< 0.01), and the rate of revascularization was significantly higher in group A than group B (10.7% vs. 5.2%,P< 0.05). The total number of stents (610 vs. 366), mean number of stents per patient (2.83±0.91 vs. 1.72±0.91,t = 12.725,P = 0.000), and total cost per patient (kRMB: 63.7±12.6 vs. 51.5±12.3,t = 10.107,P = 0.000) in group A were significantly higher than those in group B. Total hospital stay days in group A was significantly less than group B (days: 8.21±2.45 vs. 9.89±3.23, t = 6.071,P = 0.000). Because non-IRA-vascular reconstruction rate was low in group B, the rate of usingβ-blocker and anti-anginal agents during the 24-month follow up in group B was significantly higher than group A [59.2% (126/213) vs. 47.0% (101/215),χ2= 6.371,P = 0.012; 56.3% (112/213) vs. 17.6% (36/215),χ2 = 64.704,P = 0.000]. Conclusions In patients with AMI and MVD undergone emergency PCI, staged PCI within 7-10 days for non-IRA cannot decrease the incidence of myocardial infarction and death due to cardiac causes, recurrence of angina and rehospitalization for cardiac causes was diminished, and it may increase the number of stents and medical cost significantly.

Objective To explore a new method of functional reconstruction of hand digits and joints with free transfer of foot tissues so as to increase the success rate of the operation.Methods After micro-anatomic study of the plantar and dorsal metatarsal arteries,retrograde and free grafts of foot tissues pedicled with plantar metatarsal arteries were designed and applied in transplantation to treat 76 cases of hand digital or joint defects.The surgeries included 58 cases of transfer of the second toe,four cases of transfer of composite tissues of the second toe, eight cases of transfer of proximal interphalangeal joint,and six cases of nail flap transfer.Results The mi- cro-anatomic study found that the first plantar metatarsal artery was anatomically constant and the diameter of its branch to the second toe was larger than that of the first dorsal metatarsal artery.Flaps survived in 75 of the 76 patients(98.7%),with fine appearance and significantly improved function.One patient who had received free transfer of the second toe to reconstruct the thumb function had to undergo a second repair with infraclavicula skin tube because of refractory arteriospasm of anastomosed vessels.Conclusion Transfer with free retrograde grafts of foot tissues pedicled with plantar metatarsal artery to reconstruct hand functions can effectively improve the success rate of the operation,because it is free of the shortcomings of great anatomic variation of blood vessels and time-consuming and complex procedures in conventional transfer.
