Objective: To replace esophageal defects with artificially composed biodegradable materials and non-biodegradable materials. Met hods: A two-layered tube consisting of a collagen-chitosan sponge and an inner polyurethane stent was used to replace 5 cm esophageal segmental defect s in 15 dogs. The inner polyurethane stent was removed endoscopically at weekly intervals from 2 or 4 weeks. Results: Partial regeneration of es ophageal epithelia was observed in 5 dogs at week 2, and progressing constricti on occurred and the dogs became unable to swallow within 1 month. In the 10 dog s that the polyurethane stent was removed at week 4, regenerated esophageal tiss ue successfully replaced the defects, and complete epithelization was observed 1 month after surgery. Complete regeneration of esophageal mucosa structures, inc luding mucosal smooth muscle and mucosal glands were observed 3 months after surgery, and partial regeneration of esophageal muscle tissue was also observed 6 months after surgery. Conclusion: Our artificial prosthesis i n reconstruction of the cervical esophagus segment in dogs is feasible. Through temporary polyurethane tube, collagen-chitosan sponge provides a three-dimensi onal structure suitable for the regeneration and sufficient degradation time for the complete regeneration of esophagus.

Objective: To analyze the information of patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in a single center during last 6 years, and to distinguish the clinical differences of patients between TakoSTubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods: A total of 1042 consecutive patients with primarily diagnosed acute anterior ST-segment elevation (STEMI) admitted in our hospital from 2008-01 to 2014-04 were retrospectively enrolled. The relevant patients were studied in 2 groups:TTC group, the patients with coronary angiography (CAG) and the contrast study of left ventricle corrected TTC diagnosis, n=10, and STEMI group, the patients received CAG within 6 hours of on set with conifrmed left anterior descending singlevessel disease at the same period of time as TTC patients,n=32. The basic clinical characteristics, levels of blood lipids, MI related biomarkers, the incidence rate of pathological Q wave, QTc interval and negative T wave in 12-lead ECG were compared between 2 groups. Results: The percentage of corrected TTC diagnosis in patients with primarily diagnosed STEMI was 1.06%. The female gender in TTC group and STEMI group was 100% vs 9%,P<0.01, TTC group had more patients with stress history before on set than that in STEMI group (70% vs 22%,P=0.02), lower levels of MI related biomarkers as CK (486 ± 249) U/L vs (716 ± 132) U/L, CK-MB (13.5 ± 17.1) mg/L vs (47.5 ± 21.9) mg/L, cTnI (22.8 ± 16.3) ng/mL vs (56.4 ± 24.0) ng/mL, allP<0.01. The age of morbidity, the ratios of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and blood lipids were similar between 2 groups. The frequency of abnormal Q-wave in ECG was similar between 2 groups, while the QTc interval was different in TTC group and STEMI group (630 ± 117) ms vs (540 ± 62) ms,P=0.001, the negative T waves in ECG leads II, III, aVF, aVR and V6 were as (100.00% vs 3.13%), (60.00% vs 6.25%), (90.00% vs 3.13%), (100.00% vs 21.88%), (100.00% vs 46.88%), allP<0.05. Conclusion: TTC patients with the main presentation as ST-segment elevation are usually having emotional or physical stress before on set, with obviously prolonged QTc interval and more frequency of negative T waves in ECG.

Objective To explore the influence of peritumoral edema (PTE) on the tendency of recurrent location and morphological character after total resection using MRI. Methods MRI data was collected from 43 patients with recur-rent brain glioma after total resection from four clinical centers and then the influence of of PTE on recurrence patterns af-ter total resection was retrospectively analyzed based on the T2 weighted image. Results The PTE had a significant influ-ence on the recurrent patterns of brain gliomas after total resection. When PTE was mild, the shapes of recurrent gliomas tended to be focal (6/8) and the recurrent locations tended to be local (5/8). When PTE was severe, the shapes of the recur- rent gliomas tended to be spread(30/35 and the recurrent locations tended to be distant (25/35), followed by marginal (7/35), In addition, the morphological patterns and locations of recurrent gliomas were significantly different among different PTE types (all P<0.001). When PTE was ring shape, the shapes of recurrent gliomas tended to be focal (7/9) and the recur-rent locations tended to be local (6/9), followed by marginal (2/9) and distant (1/9). When PTE was irregular shape, most of recurrent locations tended to be distant (25/34), followed by marginal (7/34) but rarely local (2/34). Conclusions The de-grees and the types of brain glioma PTE can significantly influence the locations and morphological patterns of recurrent gliomas after total resection.
