Objective To improve the theoretical basis for the typical hemodynamic changes in subclavian steal syndrome (SSS) patients underwent transcranial doppler (TCD) by detailed hemodynamic analysis.Methods Patients with SSS were examined by transcranial doppler and some patients performed tourniquet test.Flow spectrum,flow velocity and pulsatility index (PI) of vertebral artery,basilar artery and middle cerebral artery (MCA) were recorded.Results The flow spectrum of steal side vertebral artery showed that there were 14 cases with systolic notch,18 cases with systolic reverse flow and 3 cases with flow completely reversed.The flow spectrum showed high resistance spectrum in vertebral artery and basilar artery and ipsilateral basilar artery vortex or turbulence in 32 cases.The PI value was higher in contralateral vertebral artery and basilar artery than in anterior circulation (q =9.56,9.98,both P ＜ 0.01),and there was no difference between contralateral vertebral artery and basilar artery (q=0.416,P＞0.05).The tourniquet test were positive in all 22 patients.Conclusions TCD is a convenient,fast,accurate and non-invasive method for hemodynamic examination,which is the first choice for the diagnosis of SSS.

Objective To investigate the relation of synovial anti-citrullinated epitope peptide(CCP)expression and peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4)gene in the rheumatoid arthritis patient.Methods From February 2013 to 2015 in Dongfeng General Hospital Affiliated to Hubei University,selected 110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis as the observation group, and selected 110 healthy people at the same period in this hospital for medical examination as the control group,both groups were given the synovial CCP expression positive rate and PADI4 gene expression detecting and correlation analysis.Results The synovial anti-CCP expression positive rates in the observation group and the control group were 70.9% and 9.1% re-spectively,and the observation group were significantly higher than the control group (P<0.05).The PADI4-104 genotype expression frequency compared between the observation group and control group,the difference were statistically significant (P<0.05).The G/G expression was more in the observation group,while the control group was more wit the C/G expres-sion.Pearson correlation analysis showed that in the observation group,synovial CCP positive expression were significant correlated to the expression of genotype PADI4-104 (r=0.344,P<0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed PADI4-104 genotype frequency were the main factors for the synovial CCP epitope expression (P<0.05).Conclusion The rheumatoid arthritis was more with synovial anti-CCP positive expression.There were also PADI4 polymorphism disorder expression, and clear correlation between the two.Thus impact the incidence of rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To investigate the learning curve of minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass ( MIDCAB) via left anterior small thoracotomy. Methods We retrospectively reviewed results of a consecutive series of 80 patients underwent MIDCAB via left anterior small thoracotomy performed by a single surgeon.The patients were divided into 4 groups ( group A, B, C, D, n=20 in each group) according to the sequence of the operation.The left internal mammary artery ( LIMA) harvesting time, anastomosis time, total operative time, the drainage volume of the first day postoperation, mechanical ventilation time, hospital stays postoperation, in-hospital morbidity and mortality were compared.The learning curve was assessed by means of regression analysis with logarithmic curve fitting. Results The basic clinical characters were similar in all groups before the operation.The operations were accomplished successfully in all the 80 cases.No intraoperative conversion to sternotomy, death, or perioperative myocardial infarction happened.The LIMA-harvesting time in the group B, C, and D was significantly shorter than that in the group A [(53.7 ±19.2) min, (50.2 ±17.7) min, and (43.2 ±10.3) min vs.(77.0 ±30.0) min, P =0.001, 0.000, and 0.000].There was no difference between group B and C, B and D, C and D in the LIMA-harvesting time (P>0.05).The total operative time in the group B, C, and D was significantly shorter than in the group A [ (128.7 ±21.7) min, (129.0 ±33.3) min, and (112.2 ±14.5) min vs. (165.2 ±41.8) min, all P=0.000], without difference between the group B and C, B and D, C and D (P>0.05).The learning curve models were obtained: LIMA-harvesting time ( min) =113.77 -16.869 × ln ( operation number); total operative time (min)=220.281 -25.276 ×ln (operation number). Conclusion MIDCAB via left anterior small thoracotomy is safe and effective, with a learning curve of approximately 20 cases.

Objective To prolong the shelf life of RBCs stored at non-4℃, and improve the ability of blood supplying during wartime. Methods 12 bags of packed RBC were collected from 12 volunteers presenting blood, respectively, and each was averagely divided into 5 parts(groups): combination group, new solution group, ammonia group, control group and 4℃ group. The fist 4 groups were stored at room temperature, and were tested for ATP concentration daily. 4℃ group was stored at 4℃, and RBC ATP concentration was measured at the end of its shelf life, which served as a critical ATP concentration. When RBC ATP concentration of the fist 4 groups decreased to the level of critical ATP, the time of preservation was their shelf life. 6 bags of packed RBC were added the same solution as the combination group, and each was averagely divided into 4 parts(groups)after stored at room temperature for 12 days, which were washed for 0, 5,10 and 15min before centrifugation, respectively. The residual ammonia and the recovery ratio of RBC were measured after washing. Results The shelf life of combination group,new solution group,ammonia group and control group was 12,6,6 and 5 days, respectively. The residual ammonia could be effectively cleaned up after either washing 4 times with 5 min balance time or 3 times with 10 or 15 min balance time. The recovery ratio of RBC was 88.5% and 83.1% after washing 3 and 4 times, respectively. Conclusion The combination of new solution and ammonia was a good additive solution for RBC preservation at non-4℃, and the residual ammonia can be cleaned up using normal saline.
