Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2015;(16):2491-2493,2494
Objective To study the correlation between CT features and pulmonary function indexes in dif-ferent chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases(COPD).Methods Collection of COPD patients with 80 cases were collected,,the correlation analysis of COPD CT features (pixel index)and pulmonary function,including one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1 ),one second forced expiratory volume accounted for the percentage of forced vital capacity (FVC)and residual volume /lung total ratio (RV /TLC)were examined by pulmonary function testing (PFT)and multislice spiral CT (MSCT).Results According to CT,the regional area of lung density (LAA%)and airway wall thickness/lumen area were measured,COPD was divided into 56 cases of emphysema phenotype,13 case of airway phenotype and 11 case of mixed phenotype.The emphysema phenotype index,FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC pixels,RV /TLC =27.68%,(32.19 ±16.78)%,(43.69 ±11.23),(55.67 ±15.49 ),airway phenotype were 5.23%, (55.67 ±23.12)%,(52.30 ±10.67),(49.48 ±13.27),respectively,mixed phenotype were 22.47% (41.23 ± 12.55)%,(47.31 ±9.98),(54.19 ±16.29),FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC,pixel index,RV /TLC COPD CT in different phe-notypic differences were statistically significant (χ2 =19.013,F =6.234,7.854,6.389,all P <0.05).The emphyse-ma phenotype and airway phenotype in pixel index and FEV1 and FEV1 /FVC were negative correlation (r =-0.67,-0.94,-0.55,-0.42,all P <0.05),showed a positive correlation with RV /TLC (r =0.57,0.37,all P <0.05). Mixed pixel phenotype index and FEV1 ,FEV1 /FVC and RV /TLC were not significantly correlated (r =-0.56,-0.27,0.32,all P >0.05).Conclusion CT features can be regarded as the reference to diagnosis the COPD pheno-type and evaluate the effect of treatment,it is necessary to re -examine PFT in emphysema and airway phenotypes.

Objective To investigate the protective effects of purified effective component group in extract from Xiaoshuan Tongluo(CGXT)formula on chronic brain ischemia in rats.Methods CGXT 75,150,and 300 mg/kg or vehicle were ig administered daily for four weeks to rats with bilateral common carotid arteries ligation(BCCAL).From the day 24 to 28 after BCCAL,Morris water maze was performed to assess the learning and memory impairment of rats.Four weeks after BCCAL,brain gray and white matter damage were assessed.Results In Morris test,the mean escape latency of rats in the CGXT(150 and 300 mg/kg)groups was significantly shorter than that in the vehicle group.CGXT also attenuated the neuronal damage in hippocampus and cortex and reduced the pathological damage in the optic tract and corpus callosum.Conclusion CGXT could improve learning and memory impairment resulted from BCCAL in rats.These results provide the experimental basis for the clinical use of CGXT in stroke treatment and may help in investigation of multimodal therapy strategies in ischemic cerebrovascular diseases including stroke.

Objective To compare different drainage methods after right hepatectomy. Methods From April 2017 to February 2018, 90 patients who underwent right hepatectomy at Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University were prospectively randomized to the latex tube group (right subphrenic drain with a latex tube connecting to a collection bag, n=30), the silicone tube group (right subphrenic drain with a silicone tube connecting to a closed-suction, n=30) or the combination group ( right subphrenic drain with a latex tub, combined with a silicone tube, n=30). The amount of fluid collection after the operation, complications after surgery, recovery of liver function, and length of hospital stay after operation were compared. Results There were no significant differences in the clinicopathological features among the 3 groups, including gender, age, cirrhosis status, extent of hepatectomy, and blood loss (P>0. 05). There were no significant differences among the three groups on the incidences of postoperative complications [ the latex tube group, 20. 0% (6/30); the silicone tube group, 23. 3% (7/30); the combination group, 16. 7% (5/30); P>0. 05]. Ultrasonography showed significantly lower rates of subphrenic collection in the combination group compared with the latex tube group and the silicone tube group [16. 7% (5/30) vs. 63. 3% (19/30) vs. 53. 3% (16/30); P<0. 05]. The rates of postoperative fever, serum total bilirubin, ALT and postoperative hospital stay were similar among the three groups (P>0. 05). Conclusions Drainage using the combina-tion of a latex tube connecting to a collection bag and a silicone tube connecting to closed-suction after right hepatectomy significantly reduced postoperatively subphrenic collection and prevented infection of the collec-tion. However, the treatment strategy did not delay liver function recovery, prolong hospital stay nor increase post-operative infection rate.
