Objective To investigate the relationship between coronary myocardial bridge and the symptoms of the patients and its related factors, and to provide evidence for rational treatment. Methods Sixty-one patients di-agnosed as myocardial bridge by coronary angiography and the examination of nuclide myocardial perfusion imaging were recruited and their clinical data was analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into ischemic group and non-ischemic group according to the nuclide imaging, and were followed up on the compliance of β-blocker taking and the symptoms. Results Among the 61 patients ,7 patients were ischemic,and the others were non-ischemic. There was no significant difference on symptoms between the two groups (P>0.05). The prevalence of Grade Ⅲ narrowing was higher in ischemic group (6/7) than that in the non-ischemic group (18/54) (χ~2=5. 009, P = 0.024) ,and the ischemic patients with Grade Ⅲ narrowing were older than those in the non-ischemic patients. Two patients in the ischemic group did not insist on taking β-blocker and their symptoms did not change,40 patients in the non-ischemia group did not insist on taking β-blocker,of which 33 patient's symptoms were improved. The symp-toms of all patients with good compliance of β-blocker taking were improved. Conclusions The symptoms of some patients are unrelated with myocardial bridge and treatment is not recommended.

Objective To study on gastric varices bleeding treated by tissue adhesive, D-TH glue injection. Methods Fifty-nine consecutive cirrhotic patients with gastric varices were undergone endoscopic D-TH glue injection with sandwich approach. Among these 59 patients, bleeding was present in 46 patients (acute bleeding in 37, recent bleeding in 9) , no previous of gastric variceal bleeding in 13. Follow-up study on therapeutic results and complications were conducted. Results Ninety-six injections were performed in all patients with a mean of 1. 63 injections (1-2ml) per patient. Recurrent bleeding never occurred in 37 patients with acute gastric varices bleeding 72 hours after injection, and the rale of emergency endoscopic he mostasis was 100 per cent. Thirty (65. 2% ) of 46 patients with bleeding gastric varices were followed for 12 36 months, 24. 9 months on average. Recurrence of bleeding occurred in 2(6. 7% ) , 5 ( 16. 7% ) and 8 (26. 7% ) cases at 3 , 12, and 36 months respectively. The rate of survival was 86. 5 per cent. Besides fever occurred postoperatively in 2 cases, other severe complications never happened. Conclusion Endoscopic D-TH glue injection is a safe and effective method for treating gastric varices bleeding.

Objective To evaluate multi- slice spiral CT angiography (MSCTA) in diagnosing bronchial-pulmonary shunts (BPS). Methods The materials of MSCTA images in 31 patients with DSA-confirmed BPS were retrospectively analyzed. Taking DSA imaging as the reference standard, the consistency in diagnosing BPS at different levels between MSCTA and DSA was compared. Results On MSCTA using aorta-density trigger scanning technique BPS was manifested as wrong-time enhancement of pulmonary artery branches. Wilcoxon test indicated that MSCTA had a high concordance with DSA in detecting BPS occurring at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches (Z = -1.854, P > 0.05), but MSCTA detection of BPS occurring at peripheral pulmonary arteries was obviously poorer than DSA (Z = -3.923, P < 0.05). MSCTA confirmed the diagnosis of BPS in 11 cases with a sensitive rate of 35.5% (11/31), and no differences in revealing the number and the shunt levels of BPS existed between DSA and MSCTA. The number of abnormal systemic arteries demonstrated by MSCTA was quite the same as the number detected by DSA. No false positive case was seen. Conclusion MSCTA is very effective in diagnosing high-flow BPS locating at sub-segmental (or above) pulmonary artery branches as well as in revealing abnormal bronchus-related systemic arteries, which is very helpful in preoperatively evaluating the severity of the BP shunting and the supplying arteries to be obstructed.

Objective To compare Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence method in Survivin expression. Methods By using Western blot analysis and immunofluorescence method, Survivin gene expressions of the peripheral blood mononuclear cells in 18 patients with leukemia and 10 healthy persons were analysed. Results Positive expression of Survivin gene was detected in 13 of 18 leukemic patients by Western blot analysis and in 11 of 18 leukemic patients by immunofluorescence method. Negative expression of Survivin gene was detected in 10 healthy persons. The results of Survivin expression were the same in 16 patients by Western blots analysis and immunofluorescence method (consistent rate is 88.89%), but the positive expression of Survivin by Western blot analysis was the negative expression by immunofluorescence method in another 2 patients. Conclusion Survivin gene expressed selectively in leukemic cells, but not in normal mononuclear cell in peripheral blood. It indicated that Survivin expression is effective monitoring index in diagnosis and prognosis of leukemia. Survivin expression by Western blot analysis was consistent with immunofluorescence method.

Objective To investigate the significance of non-bronchial systemic collaterals (NBSCs) in supplying bronchial hemoptysic lesions,and to study the morphological features of bronchial artery (BA) when NBSCs become the predominant supplying vessels. Methods Multi-slice helical CT angiographic findings in 124 patients with bronchial hemoptysis were retrospectively analyzed. 3D reconstruction of thoracic systemic arteries,including BAs and NBSCs,was performed at the console work station with the help of real-time thin-slice enhanced helical CT scanning. The number of NBSCs and BAs was calculated,and the internal diameter of the arteries and the thickness of pleura in the vicinity of the pulmonary lesion were measured. According to the presence or absence of NBSCs,the patients were divided into NBSCs group and non-NBSCs group. The relevant data was statistically analyzed. Results NBSCs group included 36 cases,the mean internal diameter of BA was (1.850 ? 0.631)mm and the pleura adjacent to the pulmonary lesion was obviously thickened in 22 cases (61%) with a thickness of 2.7-16.0 mm [mean(7.71 ? 4.12) mm]. In the non-NBSCs group (n = 88),the mean internal diameter of BA was (2.200 ? 0.528) mm and the pleura adjacent to the pulmonary lesion was obviously thickened in 7 cases (8%) with a thickness of 1.1-2.4 mm [mean(1.7 ?0.53) mm]. The differences in both internal diameter of BA and the thickness of lesion's adjacent pleura between two groups were statistically significant (P
