Objective Retrospective analysis of experience of distal upper limb autologous arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis access and treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion was conducted.Methods To summarize the clinical data of 214 cases of initial autologous arteriovenous fistula and 22 cases of treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion were carried out from Aug.2007 to Mar.2011,comparing the success rate and long-term patency rate.Results Two hundred and fourteen cases of initial autologous arteriovenous fistula,in which 168 cases were cephalic vein-radial artery side-to-side anastomosis at snuffbox,46 cases were cephalic vein-radial artery end-toside anastomosis at proximal wrist,the success cases were 203 (94.8％),the failed cases were 11 (5.2％),limb edema in 82 cases and there was no steal syndrome and heart failure.The primary patency rate was 95.2％ at 1 year and 91.3％ at 2 years.There were 22 patients accepted treatment of arteriovenous fistula occlusion,in which,8 cases were embolectomy due to acute occlusion,8 cases were thrombectomy and balloon dilation because of anastomotic stricture and thrombosis and 1 failed,5 cases were proximal anastomosis again after chronic occlusion.Conclusions Autologous arteriovenous fistula of the distal upper limb,especially from the place of snuffbox which is the preferred method for autologous arteriovenous fistula.And deal with arteriovenous fistula occlusion actively can often extend the usage time of the autologous blood vessels and improve the life quality of patients.

Objective To investigate the effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H 2 S) on H2 S concentration and cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) expression in hippocampus in a rat model of vascular dementia (VaD). Methods A rat model of VaD was induced by using the modified four -vessel occlusion. The rats were divided into sham operation, model, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups using the random number table method. They were further redivided into one day, seven -day, and 30-day subgroups according to the time after modeling. After modeling respectively, NaHS 30 μmol/kg and 100 μmol/kg were injected intraperitoneally every day in the low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups. The normal saline was injected intraperitoneally every day in the sham operation group and the VaD model group. Morris water maze test was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability of the rats. The expression of CBS in hippocampus was detected by real-time fluorescent polymerase chain reaction. Western Blotting was used to detect expression of CBS protein in hippocampus. Results Morris water maze test showed that the escape latencies of the model group, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups were prolonged significantly compared with the sham operation group (P <0.05); the times of crossing the platform were decreased significantly compared with the model group (P <0.05); and the escape latencies were shortened significantly in the low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups compared with the model group ( P <0.05). The H2 S content in hippocampus was decreased significantly in the model group, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups compared with the sham operation group, but the low -dose and high-dose NaHS group was significantly higher than that in the model group (all P <0.05). The expression of CBS mRNA and protein in the model, low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups was significantly lower than that of the sham operation group (all P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference between the low -dose and high-dose NaHS groups and the model group. Conclusions Exogenous H2 S may improve the learning and memory ability of the VaD rats. It may be associated with the increased H2 S content in hippocampus. However, it has no effect on CBS expression.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke, and evaluate the severity and short-term outcome. Methods From March, 2014 to March, 2015, 238 patients with recurrent ischemic stroke and 378 patients with initial ischemic stroke matched with gender and age were enrolled. The clinical data of two groups were compared and the non-conditional Logistic regression model was made to analysis the risk factors of recurrent ischemic stroke. The National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score as ad-mission and discharge, and the neural function improvement rate of two groups were compared. Results The incidences of leukoarailsis (χ2=8.666), hypertension (χ2=8.189), smoking (χ2=6.973) and alcohol consumption (χ2=4.722) were higher in the recurrent group than in the pri-mary group (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that leukoarailsis (OR=1.690, 95%CI:1.198~2.384, P=0.003), hypertension (OR=1.715, 95%CI:1.135~2.592, P=0.010) and smoking (OR=1.896, 95%CI:1.233~2.915, P=0.004) were the independent risk factors of recur-rent ischemic stroke. The NIHSS scores as admission and discharge were significantly higher (t=-3.645, t=-4.675, P<0.001), and the neural function improvement rate was lower (t=2.643, P<0.01) in the recurrent group than in the primary group. Conclusion Hypertension, leuko-arailsis and smoking are independent risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke. Recurrent ischemic stroke is more serious than initial isch-emic stroke, and the short-term neural function recovers more slowly.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hesperidin ( HDN) on antioxidant ac-tivity in mice.Methods HDN scavenging free radicals was detected by spectrophotometry, inhibition of mitochondrial swelling was detected by pyrogallol autoxidation, and erythrocyte hemolysis was detected by Fe2+phenanthroline.The mice were fed with HDN at different concentrations (0, 80, 160, 320 mg/kg) by gastric gavage for 12 days.ELISA and spec-trophotometric methods were used to assay the amount of MDA in mouse liver and kidney tissues and the activity of antioxi-dant enzymes ( SOD, CAT, GSH-PX) , and the antioxidant enzyme gene mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR.Re-sults Compared with the control group, the radical (· OH, O2 -· , DPPH· ) clearance rate was significantly increased in the HDN groups.There was a significant decrease of oxidative hemolysis of erythrocytes and mitochondrial swelling in vitro. MDA content in the mouse liver and kidney tissues and serum showed a decrease, and the activity of antioxidant enzymes ( SOD, CAT, GSH-PX) in the HDN group was significantly higher than that in the control group.There was an up-regula-tion of mRNA expression of antioxidant enzyme in mouse liver and kidney tissues.Conclusions The results showed that HDN can eliminate free radicals, reduce cell oxidative damage caused by free radicals, inhibit superoxide production, up-regulate antioxidant enzyme gene expression and enhance their enzyme activity, thus showing a good antioxidant effect.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the serum bilirubin level with acute ischemic stroke (AIS), and Chinese isch-emic stroke subclassification (CISS), stroke severity and short-term outcome of AIS patients. Methods 616 patients with AIS as well as 664 patients without stroke matched with gender and age were compared and analyzed with the non-conditional Logistic regression. The AIS pa-tients were divided based on the CISS, and their bilirubin levels were compared. The AIS patients were divided into high bilirubin group and normal bilirubin group, their scores of the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) as admission and discharge, and neural func-tion improvement rate were compared. Results The levels of total bilirubin (TBIL), direct bilirubin (DBIL) and indirect bilirubin (IBIL) were higher in the AIS group than in the control group (P<0.01), and the TBIL was the independent risk factors of AIS (OR=1.026, 95%CI 1.012-1.041, P<0.001). There was no significant difference of the levels of TBIL, DBIL and IBIL among the patients of CISS (P>0.05). The NIHSS score was higher in the high bilirubin group than in the normal bilirubin group as admission (P<0.05), but it was not significant as discharge (P>0.05), nor the rate of neural function improvement (P>0.05). Conclusion The serum bilirubin level elevated and correlated with the severity in the AIS patients, which might be the risk of pathogenesis and AIS. The bilirubin was not various with the CISS, and might be less involved in the short-term outcome of AIS.

Objectives To observe the pre and post-operational changes of the expressions of survivin, caspase-3 and CD44V6 in patients with colorectal cancer after intra-abdominal implantation of sustained releasing fluorouracil. Meth-ods Sixty-four patients with colorectal cancer (Dukes’stage of B and C) were divided into treatment group and control group, 32 patients in each group. The standard radical surgery was performed in two groups of patients. The fluorouracil im-plants were implanted intra-abdominally in treatment group. The peripheral blood levels of surviving and caspase-3 were de-tected by RT-PCR. The level of CD44V6 was detected by flow cytometry in two groups of patients. Results There were no significant differences in levels of survivin, caspase-3 and CD44V6 before surgery between two groups (P>0.05). The level of survivin (0.362 ± 0.183) was significantly lower at 14 days after operation in treatment group than that of control group (0.585±0.207), but the level of caspase-3 (2.001±0.146) was significantly higher than that of control group (1.654±0.111). The levels of CD44V6 were significantly lower in treatment group (1.857±0.535) and control group (3.471±0.496) after opera-tion than those before operation (9.557±1.170 and 9.729±0.943, P＜0.05), and the level of CD44V6 was significantly lower in treatment group than that of control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion The implant for the sustained release of fluorouracil showed a positive impact on micrometastases and prognosis of colorectal cancer, while improved the long-term efficacy of postoperative colorectal cancer.

Objective To evaluate the application effects of mind map in community health education of rheumatoid arthritis patients. Methods 65 rheumatoid arthritis patients from Shunqing district of Nanchong City, Sichuan Province were randomly divided into an observation group (n=33) and a control group(n=32). Both groups received six-month health education. Health educators utilized mind map for the observation group and traditional health education for the control group. Before and after implementation, the two groups' mastery of disease knowledge was compared. During the period of 1, 3, 6 months, two groups received compliance evaluation respectively. During the study period, a questionnaire was given to the observation group to collect their attitude towards the mind map health education and their evaluation about it. Measurement data was represented by x ± s, using group t-test design information and single-sample t-test. χ2test was used in the count data for compar-ison between groups with test levelα=0.05. Results The scores of disease knowledge were as follows. Before implementation there was no statistically significant difference between two groups (P=0.921);After implementation, the score of observation group was(19.97±3.03), while the score of control group was(17.59±3.11), the difference was statistically significant(t=3.122,P=0.003). The difference of 1,3,6-month compliance scores was statistically significant(t=2.173,P=0.034;t=2.371,P=0.021;t=2.615,P=0.011) with the observation group's scores(18.24±3.44),(18.94±3.25),(19.64±3.06) respectively,and the control group's scores(16.47±3.13),(16.97±3.45),(17.44±3.70). Observation group's attitude questionnaire scores of each project are > 3, and there was significant difference be-tween two groups (P=0.000).
