Objective: To summarize the major post-operative complication of modiifed extended Morrow procedure in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) and to explore the major factors affecting its prognosis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 139 consecutive HOCM patients who received the procedure by same surgeon in our hospital from 2012-06 to 2014-07. There were 87 male and 52 female patients with the age of (10-67) years, body weightof (26-105) kg and pre-operative left ventricular outlfow tract peak gradient (LVOTPG) of (84.48 ± 44.75) mmHg. Concomitant operations were performed with known cardiac disease as necessary. Pre- and post-operative echocardiography, ECG and chest X-ray were examined to assess the adequacy of resection and mitral valve structure and function. Results: There was no peri-operative death. 73/139 (53%) patients received simple modiifed expanded Morrow procedure, the other 66 (47%) patients received concomitant surgery including 21 patients with coronary artery bypass grafting, 15 mitral valve plasty, 7 mitral valve replacement, 10 tricuspid valve plasty, 2 aortic valve replacement, 3 modiifed Maze procedure, 2 unblock of right ventricular outlfow tract, 2 sub aortic membrane resection, 1 ventricular aneurysm resection. The mechanical ventilation time was (24.05±36.74) hours, post-operative ICU and in-hospital stays were (2.85±3.18) days and (10.11±4.57) days; the complications included arrhythmia in 108 cases, pleural effusion in 25 cases, secondary intubation in 1 case, tracheotomy in 1 case, hemoifltration in 1 case, intra-aortic balloon pump in 1 case, back into ICU in 3 cases; no pneumothorax, secondary thoracotomy/operation. The post-operative left atrial diameter, LVOTPG, inter-ventricular septal thickness and LVEF were all decreased; mitral valve closed well or with mild regurgitation, systolic anterior motion (SAM) basically disappeared. The major factors for delayed ICU stay included age≥55 years, female, CPB time≥120 min, AOC time≥90 min, the patients combining with arrhythmia and right ventricular dysfunction. Late follow-up presented that the patients were almost without the symptoms, NYHA classiifcation at (I-II), no late death, complication or re-operation. Conclusion: Modified expand Morrow procedure has good surgical and short/late post-operative effects, concomitant operation does not increase the complication and mortality; correction of arrhythmia and improving right ventricular function at peri-operative period are important for treating the relevant patients.

BACKGROUND:Tumor recurrence results from the incomplete removal of cancer stem cel s with self-renewal characteristics, and then how to label and eliminate cancer stem cel s becomes the key to cancer treatment. OBJECTIVE:To observe the morphology,distribution and number of CD44+/C-myc+METHODS:Pathological tissues from 150 patients with colorectal cancer were taken to prepare tissue microarray, in order to observe and count CD44 cel s in colorectal cancer, and to explore the relationship between the expression and postoperative metastasis.+/C-myc+cel s by using immunohistochemical double staining. Patients were fol owed up through mobile phones , letters , and so on, and the relationship between the expression of CD44+/C-myc+cel s and postoperative metastasis were statistical y recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no CD44+/C-myc+cel s in normal tissue and little in adenoma. A smal number of CD44+/C-myc+cel s distributed as dots or focal lesions in adenocarcinoma. The number of CD44+/C-myc+cel s was related to the degree of adenocarcinoma differentiation, depth of invasion, and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The univariate analysis showed that the overal survival rate and progression-free survival rate were associated with the number of CD44+/C-myc+cel s, lymph node metastasis and Ducks staging in adenocarcinoma (P<0.05). The multivariate analysis showed that the overal survival rate was related to CD44+/C-myc+cel amount and the progression-free survival rate was related to CD44+/C-myc+cel amount and the Ducks staging. Therefore, CD44+/C-myc+cel s are probably cancer stem cel s, and Ducks staging and CD44+/C-myc+cel amount are important prognostic factors for colorectal cancer.

BACKGROUND:More and more studies employ CD44 as a specific marker of colorectal cancer stem cells. Oct4 is a transcription factor of embryonic stem cells, and it has been discovered recently that there is a higher expression in primary colorectal carcinoma.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the quantity, location and distribution of CD44+/Oct4+cells in primary colorectal carcinoma.
METHODS:A total y of 108 cases of human colorectal carcinoma and 18 cases of normal mucosa, 18 cases of adenoma were col ected and made into three tissue microarrays, each containing of 48 dots. The locations of CD44+/Oct4+cells were detected by double-label immunohistochemical staining and hematoxylin-eosin staining. The morphologic features of them were investigated on hematoxylin-eosin staining at the same position. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The results of double-label immunohistochemical staining demonstrated that there were no CD44+/Oct4+cells in normal intestine mucosa and a very smal amount of CD44+/Oct4+cells in adenoma, and double-positive cells could also be seen in colorectal carcinoma. The number of CD44+/Oct4+cells was rare and the cells were scattered or distributed focal y along the basement of gland basal side. The cells with scarce cytoplasm were square, and its nucleus was oval or high cylindrical, deeply stained and homogeneous. The quantity of CD44+/Oct4+cells was negatively correlated with the differentiation of colorectal cancer (r=-0.579, P<0.01), and was associated with the depth of tumor invasion (r=0.236, P<0.05). These findings indicate that CD44+/Oct4+cells may be colorectal cancer stem cells.

Objective To investigate the blood-saving effect of tranexamic acid in off-pump coronary artery bypass (OPCAB). Methods Two hundred and sixty ASA Ⅰ- Ⅲ and NYHA Ⅰ- Ⅲ patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr, with body mass index 16-22 kg/m2 , undergoing OPCAB, were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 130 each): control group (group C) and tranexamic acid group (group T) . Anesthesia was induced with iv injection of midazolam 0.1 mg/kg, fentanyl 5-10μg/kg and pipecuronium 0.1 mg/kg. The patients were tracheal intubated and mechanically ventilated. PEr CO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. A bolus of tranexamic acid 1 g was infused intravenously within 30 min after indution followed by continuous infusion at 400 mg/h until the end of operation in group T. While equal volume of normal saline was given in control group. Anesthesia was maintained with inhalation of isoflurane and intermittent iv injection of fentanyl and pipecuronium. Venous blood samples were taken before induction, at the end of operation and at 24 h after operation for determination of Hb, platelet count (P1t), prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR). The volume of chest tube drainage was collected and recorded at 6 and 24 h after operation. The requirement for transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma was also recorded. Results There was no significant difference in Hb, Plt, PTand INR at each time point between the two groups ( P ＞ 0.05). The requirement for transfusion of allogeneic red blood cells and fresh frozen plasma was significantly reduced in group T as compared with group C ( P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01 ). No deaths and complications occurred during hospital stay in the two groups. Conclusion Tranexamic acid exerts the blood-saving effect in OPCAB.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) characteristic lung rehabilitation in treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and TCM syndrome of lung and kidney qi deficiency at stable period. Methods Sixty patients with stable COPD and lung and kidney qi deficiency syndrome admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui University of Chinese Medicine from June to August 2017 were enrolled, and they were divided into routine treatment group and lung rehabilitation treatment group according to the random number table method, each group 30 cases. The routine treatment group was given Seretide (serevent/futicasone) dry powderi nhalation therapy; on the basis of therapy in the routine treatment group, the lung rehabilitation treatment group was treated with TCM characteristic lung rehabilitation technology (acupoint application + Chinese medicine ionic induction + oral administration of Chinese medicine Liuweibuqi granules, delivery at appropriate intervals); both groups were treated for 2 months. The changes of TCM syndrome score, western medicine symptom score, the times of acute exacerbation of COPD, COPD assessment test (CAT) score, lung function indexes: forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) were observed before and after treatment in two groups. Results After treatment, TCM syndrome score, western medicine symptom score, CAT score, and after treatment the times of acute exacerbation of COPD in both groups were significantly lower than those before treatment, and the above indexes in the lung rehabilitation treatment group were markedly lower than those in routine treatment group [TCM syndrome score:11.93±1.80 vs. 14.27±2.88, western medicine symptom score: 14.20±2.75 vs. 11.93±4.23, CAT score: 14.87±2.60 vs. 16.23±4.39, the times of acute exacerbation of COPD (times): 0.63±0.49 vs. 0.95±0.83, all P < 0.05]. The improvement of FEV1 in the two groups was not significant; but FEV1/FVC in lung rehabilitation treatment group was obviously higher than that before treatment, FEV1/FVC in lung rehabilitation treatment group was significantly higher than that in the routine treatment group [(57.93±7.27)% vs. (52.49±6.61)%, P < 0.05]. Conclusion The application of TCM characteristic lung rehabilitation in the treatment of COPD patients with stable lung and kidney qi deficiency syndrome based on bronchodilators and glucocorticoids can reduce the number of acute exacerbation, improve the patients' clinical symptoms and living quality, but the improvement of lung function is not significant.

Objective:To evaluate the effects of sugammadex on the quality of recovery after laparoscopic bariatric surgery in severely obese patients.Methods:One hundred and eighty patients, aged 18-65 yr, with body mass index ≥ 40 kg/m 2, undergoing elective laparoscopic bariatric surgery, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ, were enrolled and divided into 2 groups ( n=90 each) by the random number table method: sugammadex group (S group) and neostigmine group (N group). Before anesthesia, bilateral T 6 and T 9 paravertebral nerve blocks were performed, and 0.33% ropivacaine 15 ml was injected on each side.When the reappearance of T 2 was monitored under train-of-four (TOF) stimulation after the end of surgery, and sugammadex 2 mg/kg was intravenously injected in S group, and neostigmine 0.04 mg/kg and atropine 0.02 mg/kg were intravenously injected in N group.After the patient was transferred to the general ward, flurbiprofen axetil 50 mg was injected intravenously every 12 h, and oxycodone and flurbiprofen axetil were used for patient-controlled intravenous analgesia at the same time.When the numerical rating scale (NRS) score ≥4 and the analgesic pump was ineffective, bilateral T 7 paravertebral nerve block was performed for rescue analgesia, and 0.33% ropivacaine 15 ml was injected on each side.The postoperative quality of recovery was assessed by the 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale before operation and at 24 h after operation.The TOF ratio ≥ 0.9 and extubation time were recorded.The SpO 2 at the time of transfer to post-anesthesia care unit (PACU), the lowest SpO 2 and occurrence of SpO 2 < 92% during PACU were recorded.The occurrence of residual muscle relaxation and Ramsay sedation score were recorded at 30 min after entering PACU.The time of PACU stay, time to the first off-bed activity and length of hospital stay were recorded.The cumulative consumption of oxycodone, requirement for rescue analgesia, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia, and pulmonary complications were recorded within 48 h after operation. Results:There were no significant differences in the total score of 15-item Quality-of-Recovery scale before surgery and at 24 h after surgery, cumulative consumption of oxycodone within 48 h after surgery, rate of rescue analgesia, and incidence of dizziness, nausea and vomiting, hypoxemia and pulmonary complications between the two groups ( P>0.05). Compared with N group, the scores of the three recovery indicators (feel energized with enough rest, engagement in work or family activities, and tension and anxiety) were significanatly increased, time to TOF ratio ≥ 0.9, extubation time, time of PACU stay, time to the first off-bed activity and length of hospital stay were shortened, and the incidence of residual muscle relaxation was decreased in S group ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Antagonizing residual muscle relaxation with sugammadex is helpful for the recovery of severely obese patients after laparoscopic bariatric surgery.

Objective:To investigate the clinicopathological features, differential diagnosis and prognosis of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC).Methods:The clinical and pathological data of 10 patients with MCC were collected at the 940th Hospital of PLA. The histological characteristics were examined. Immunohistochemical EnVision method was used to detect thyroid transcription factor-1 (TTF1), broad-spectrum cytokeratin (CKpan), CK20, S-100, Ki-67, CD56, chromogranin A, synaptophysin and other markers in the 10 cases.Results:Intradermal MCC of the skin showed a nested, cord-like, cribriform distribution, polygonal cells, uniform size, and lack of cytoplasm. Tumor cell nuclei were large and round, with clear nuclear membranes, fine and scattered chromatin, absence of nucleoli, and mitotic figures of 10 per 50 high power fields. Among them, one patient had sarcoma and squamous cell carcinoma in situ, one patient had squamous cell carcinoma in situ, and one patient had unique cell morphology. Immunohistochemical staining showed that all cancer cells expressed CKpan, synaptophysin and CD56. There were seven cases with perinuclear dot-like positivity of CK20. Six MCCs expressed chromogranin A to varying degrees, while 2 MCCs were weakly positive for p63. The nuclear positive index in the Ki-67 hotspot area was 60%.Conclusion:The histology of MCC varies. Rendering a correct diagnosis of MCC requires adequate sampling, close correlation with clinical history and rational use of immunohistochemical staining. The treatment requires standardized surgery, postoperative radiotherapy and multimodal chemotherapy. Immunotherapy may replace the traditional treatment in the future.

Objective To investigate the effects of Shenqi Tiaoshen Formula(SQTSF)for alleviating airway inflammation in rats with both chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)and lung-kidney qi deficiency syndrome and explore its therapeutic mechanism.Methods Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into control group,model group,low-,medium-,and high-dose SQTSF groups,and aminophylline(APL)group.In all but the control group,rat models of COPD with lung-kidney qi deficiency syndrome were established and treated with saline,SQTSF or APL via daily gavage as indicated(starting from day 30).The rats were observed for changes in body weight,grip strength,lung function,lung pathology,inflammatory cytokines in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF),oxidative stress levels,iron ion metabolism,cellular and mitochondrial ultrastructural changes in the lung tissue,and expressions of Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway and ferroptosis-related proteins.Results The rats in the model group exhibited obvious symptoms of lung-kidney qi deficiency syndrome with significantly decreased body weight,grip strength,and lung function parameters.Examination of the lung tissue revealed showed significant inflammatory cell infiltration and emphysema with obvious bronchial,perivascular,and alveolar inflammation and alveolar destruction,significantly increased IL-1β,TNF-α,IL-6,and IL-13 levels in BALF,and elevated pulmonary oxidative stress levels and Fe2+and total iron ion concentrations.The rat models also showed characteristic ultrastructural changes of ferroptosis in the lung tissue cells under transmission electron microscope and significantly decreased Nrf2,GPX4,and SLC7A11 and increased ACSL4 expressions in the lung tissue.Treatment with SQTSF significantly improved these pathological changes in the rat models with a better effect than APL.Conclusion SQTSF can effectively improve airway inflammation and oxidative stress in COPD rats with lung-kidney qi deficiency possibly by inhibiting ferroptosis via regulating the Nrf2/SLC7A11/GPX4 signaling pathway.
