Objective To explore the predictive value of heart-type fatty acid-binding protein (HFABP) in predicting the cardiovascular events after none-cardiac thoracic surgery in aged patients.Methods Sixty eight aged patients were admitted from February 2012 to August 2014 and accepted none-cardiac thoracic surgery.The patients'general information and the incidence of postoperational cardiovascular events were recorded.Serum H-FABP was measured.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed and the predictive effect of serum H-FABP for prognosis was analyzed.Results Eighteen patients were suffered from postoperative cardiovascular events (PCE).The level of H-FABP after surgery in patients with PCE was higher than that with none-PCE (P ＜ 0.05).The serum concentration of H-FABP after surgery and NT-proBNP before surgery was the independent risk factors for the elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery.The area under ROC of H-FABP was 0.840 (95％ CI:0.716 ～0.964,P ＜0.01).The sensitivity and specificity of predicting postoperational cardiovascular event with serum concentration of H-FABP ＞5.26μg/L was 77.8％ and 84.0％ (OR 15.944,95％ CI:4.239 ～59.978,P ＜0.01).Conclusions The level of H-FABP after surgery is an independent risk factor for the occurrence of PCE for the elderly patients undergoing non-cardiac thoracic surgery.It can predict the risk of PCE after non-cardiac thoracic surgery in aged patients.

Intravenous preparations take more risk than oral preparation and externally applied agent.In phaseⅠtoler- ance trial of intravenous preparations of TCM on human subjects,minimum dose and maximum dose should be decided in light of data derived from preclinical pharmacodynamic and toxicological experiments,combined with practical situation in clinic.Dose-ascending coefficient of the should be reasonable.During the application of intravenous preparations of TCM in tolerance trial,clinical monitoring must be done to ensure the safety of subjects.Overall and integrated observa- tional indices should be designed on the basis of the features of preparation types,administration methods,the nature of medicine,etc.,so as to provide full-scale data for safe dose range,concentration of the preparation,dripping veloci- ty and possible adverse reactions,etc.

Objective To evaluate femoral artery ligation for femoral artery pseudoaneurysm secondary to drug injection. Methods Clinical data of 32 drug addicts of femoral artery pseudoaneursysm caused by drug injection undergoing femoral artery ligation and local debridement were reviewed retrospectively.The blood supply of affected limb was evaluated by oxygen saturation of distal limb and its function.All the cases were followed up at 3,6,9,and 12months after the operation. Results Surgery was successful in all cases. There were no significantly difference of the limb oxygen saturation between postoperative and preoperative period (95.1％ ± 2.8％ vs.96.9％ ± 1.9％ ; t =1.26,P =0.25 ).White blood cells and neutrophils percentage significantly decreased after surgery.All patients were followed up for 1 year.Lower extremity ischemia after 6 hours of operation in one case treated by autologous saphenous vein bypass recovered. On 3 months mild claudication was observed in 5 cases. On 6 months claudication remained in only 2 cases,which disappeared on 9 months.All patients were able to maintain normal life.Conclusions Femoral artery ligation is a safe, effective and simple treatment modality for femoral pseudoaneurysms secondary to drug injection.

BACKGROUND:Nano-hydroxyapatite helps to improve the mechanical properties of bone implants.
OBJECTIVE:To study the clinical effect of nano-hydroxyapatite artificial bone on col apsed fracture of the tibial plateau.
METHODS:Fourteen cases of col apsed fracture of the tibial plateau combined with bone defects from March 2010 to September 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. The bone defect range was from 1.5 cm×1.0 cm to 3.1 cm×4.5 cm. Al patients were treated with nano-hydroxyapatite artificial bone at an implant amount of 5-14 g. Clinical and X-ray observations were applied at 1 week, 1 month and 3 months postoperatively. Hospital for Special Surgery scores were employed for recovery of knee function.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The patients were fol owed up for 12-27 months. Except for one case of a smal amount of wound exudates, no general side effects occurred in 13 cases. X-ray photo showed an integrity interface between nano-hydroxyapatite artificial bone and host bone at 3 months after treatment. Primary healing was obtained in al cases without any complications. Hospital for Special Surgery score was increased to (88.7±4.3) points at 1 year later. These findings indicate that the nano-hydroxyapatite artificial bone has a good biocompatibility and biomechanics, and it may be an ideal artificial bone for repairing col apsed fractures of the tibial plateau.
