Bilingual education is an imporant teaching reform in universities. In recent years, cardiothoracic department has enacted the practice and exploration for bilingual teaching of cardiothoracic surgery. By creating high-quality teaching team, improving teaching methods and quality, creating bilingual learning environment, we have achieved satisfactory teaching effect.

Objective Arrhythmias are one of the main causes of postoperative morbidity after thoracic surgery.The aim of this study was to evaluate whether video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery decreases the risk of postoperative arrhythmias compared with traditional open lung lobectomy.Methods 138 consecutive patients were enrolled from January 2011 to February 2012,after five age and risk factors matched,68 patients undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery and 70 patients undergoing traditional open lung lobectomy were eligible for analysis.The rhythm was documented preoperatively and postoperatively with standard electrocardiogram (ECG) recording and ECG monitoring.All patients followed 3 months after hospital admission.Results There was a 17.6％ incidence (12/68) of postoperative new-onset arrhythmias undergoing video-assisted thoracic surgery and 18.6％ of patients (13/70) undergoing thoracotomy,but the difference was not statistically significant.In both groups,atrial fibrillation was the most common arrhythmia (60％).There was no significant difference in the other morbidity (P ＞0.05) and mortality rate(P =0.57,1.5％ vs 2.9％) between the two groups.Conclusion New-onset arrhythmias,most frequently atrial fibrillation,are common after lung lobectomy.Regardless of surgical approach,postoperative arrhythmias after lobectomy occurred with equal frequency.New insights in the pathophysiology of postoperative thoracic arrhythmias and advances in prevention and therapy are need future study.

OBJECTIVETo explore the clinical effects of one-stage hemiarthroplasty in treating fresh subtrochanteric fracture combined with old femoral neck fracture.

METHODSFrom October 2003 to October 2013, 7 patients with fresh subtrochanteric fracture and old femoral neck fracture were treated with hemiarthroplasty in one stage. There were 5 males and 2 females, aged from 69 to 80 years old with an average of 74.5 years. According to the Garden classification, 2 cases were type IV and 5 cases were type V. According to the A0 classification of subtrochanteric fracture, all cases were type A1 (long oblique femoral subtrochanteric fractures). Biological coating long handle femoral prosthesis was used in the patients. The hip joint functions were assessed according to Charnley scoring system after all hemiarthroplasty.

RESULTSSeven patients were followed up from 12 to 24 months with an average of 18 months. There were 1 case with urinary system infection and 1 case with deep venous thrombosis. Of all, 5 cases recovered the walk ability at 6 months after operation and 2 cases could walk with the help of the crutch at 1 year after operation. According to Charnley scoring system to assess the hip joint function, the total Charnley scores reached 15.0±2.5, and 4 cases got an excellent results, 2 good, 1 fair.

CONCLUSIONArthroplasty through anterolateral approach can obtain satisfactory clinical effects in treating fresh subtrochanteric fracture combined with old femoral neck fracture, it has advantages of good joint stability, little pain, less complication, quickly recover, early activities on fields.

Objective To evaluate the regulatory effect of OX40 co-stimulatory signal on the expression of Foxp3 in inductive regulatory T cells (iTreg) in vitro.Method CD4+ CD25+ naive T cells were isolated from C57BL/6 mouse lymphocyte suspension by MASC CD4+ CD25+ regulatory T cell isolation kit.Inductive Tregs were generated by stimulation of naive T cells in the presence of transforming growth factor beta (TGFβ1),anti-CD3,anti-CD28 and IL-2.The regulatory effect on iTregs was shown by use of OX40 stimulation monoclonal antibody (OX86) or control antibody.Using flow cytometric analysis (FACS),we examined the antibody-based identification of Tregs surface markers CD4 and CD25,along with the intracellular activation marker FoxP3.Results The ratio of CD4+ CD25+ nTregs isolated from mouse lymphatic node was (5.0 ± 0.4)％ vs.(71.8 ± 13.4)％ of TGFβ1-driven iTregs.The ratio of CD4+ CD25+ Tregs was (80.0 ± 1.6) ％ in OX40 stimulation McAb group vs.(86.0 ± 1.4)％ in control antibody group.Furthermore,the expression of Foxp3 was (59.2 ± 0.7) ％ in OX40 stimulation McAb group vs.(70.0 ± 0.8) ％ in control antibody group (P＜0.05).Conclusion TGFβ1-dependent protocol may induce the conversion of naive CD4+ T cells into CD25+ Foxp3+ iTregs.OX40 stimulation can down-regulate the expression of Foxp3 in CD4+ CD25 + iTreg significantly.Thus OX40 molecular may become an attractive target in Tregs-induced transplant tolerance.Further study should be performed to increase the suppressive activity of iTregs through blockade of OX40 signal.

OBJECTIVE:To determine 5-Fu concentration in serum,peritoneal fluid and tissue by HPLC in patients undergoing rectal cancer operation and receiving regional chemotherapy.METHODS:20 patients who undergoing rectal cancer operation and receiving regional chemotherapy were administered with drugs,whose blood samples were taken from portal veins,peripheral veins,peritoneal fluid and tissues around tumor at 2,5,10,20,30 and 60min,respectively after administration for the determination of 5-FU by HPLC.RESULTS:Peak concentrations in all samples appeared 2 minutes after administration,but lowered gradually thereafter.The drug level in peritoneal fluid was the highest,but was the lowest in the tissue,and that in the portal vein was higher than in peripheral veins.CONCLUSION:For patients who undergoing rectal cancer operation,regional chemotherapy could maintain 5-FU concentration at a higher level in portal vein,peritoneal fluid and tissue around cancer,which has significance in the prevention of metastasis to the local sites and liver after rectal cancer operation.

AIM: To study the role of NOS2 in the devel op ment of cardiac dysfunction after rat myocardial infarction by observing effects of S-methylisothiourea (SMT) on left ventricular morphology and haemodynamics. METHODS: An selective NOS2 inhibitor, was used. Administration o f SMT by gavage began 30 min before coronary ligation. Six weeks later, left ventricular morphologic and haemodynamic parameters were o bserved,and NOS2 expression, plasma NO 2-/NO 3- level and myocardial fibr osis were studied. RESULTS: Six weeks after myocardial infarction, NOS2 level in ra t non-infarct cardiac muscle, plasma NO 2-/NO 3- level, CVP and LVEDP were higher than that in controls. Long term administration of SMT decreased plasma NO 2-/NO 3- level [(26.6?6.1) ?mol/L vs (50.1?10.4) ?mol/L, P

Objective:To ascertain the optimized ultrasonic condition for extraction of flavone from Radix Astragali by orthogonal design. Methods: The contents of calycosin-7-O-?-D -glucoside and formononetin were taken as the indices and were determined. The ultrasonic time (10 min, 20 min, and 30 min), concentrations of methanol (50%, 75% and 100%) and times of extraction (1, 2, and 3) were analyzed by orthogonal design; the best ultrasonic condition was ascertained and compared with those of soak extraction and Soxhlet extraction. Results: Ultrasonic with 100% methanol twice (20 minutes each time) was the optimized condition for extraction of flavone from Radix Astragali. The efficiency of ultrasonic extraction was better than those of soak extraction and Soxhlet extraction. Conclusion: Compared with other methods, the ultrasonic extraction of flavone from Radix Astragali is efficient, quick and simple.

Objective To investigate the relationship between p62 expression,and occurrence and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinomas.Methods Immunohistochemical method was used to analyze p62 expression in 123 nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cases and 30 chronic nasopharyngitis cases.The clinical pathological characteristics were analyzed.Results The positive rate of p62 protein in chronic nasopharyngitis nasopharyngeal epithelium,non-metastatic NPC tissue,and metastatic NPC tissues was 13.3％,66.67％,and 84.72％,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant.The expression of p62 protein in nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients with lymph node metastasis or distant metastasis was significantly higher than non-metastatic NPC patients (P ＜ 0.01 or P ＜ 0.05).However,the expression of p62 was not related to age,gender,tumor size,and TNM stage (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions High p62 protein expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue is closely related to the occurrence and metastasis of nasopharyngeal carcinomas.It provides good reference value to predict NPC malignancy and metastases.
