Objective To explore the feasibility of off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) in the treatment of severe coronary atherosclerotic heart disease. Methods Clinical data of 37 cases of severe coronary heart disease from January to December, 2002, were retrospectively reviewed. All operations were conducted under general anesthesia by midline sternotomy. The left internal mammary artery (LIMA) and the great saphenous vein (SV) were divided for grafting. Then we stabilified the local myocardium and exposed the diseased coronary arteries. Following the insertion of an intracoronary shunt, the LIMA was anastomosed to the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Afterwards, the SV was proximally anastomosed to the aorta, and then, to the coronary artery. Results All the operations were completed by beating heart revascularization. The number of bypass grafting was 3 2?0 5 (range, 1～6). Except 1 patient died on the 10th postoperative day, no severe complications, such as peri-operative myocardial infarction, respiratory failure, renal insufficiency or cerebrovascular accident, took place in the remaining 36 patients. Conclusions In the context of skillful procedure techniques and strict peri-operative management, OPCAB in the treatment of severe coronary atherosclerotic heart disease is feasible.

Objective This study was conducted to describe job stressors of nurses employed in military hospitals and relationship between job stressors and demography characters.Method 296 employed nurses were investigated by nurse job stressor questionnaires.Result Professional and career issues were the most frequently encountered job stressor among employed nurses,the other stressors in descending order were workload and time pressure,patient care and interaction,resource and environmental problems,management issues.Job stressors of nurses could be influenced by their age,job title,et al.Conclusion The finding suggest that effective stress management strategies should be relieve job stress.

AIM: To determine the contents of tetrandrine and fangchinoline in Qingshenjianfei Tablets by RP-HPLC. METHODS:In this method Zorbax C 18 column was used, and methanol—0.3%diethylamine (75∶25) as a mobile phase , the detection wavelength was at 242 nm. RESULTS:The recovery of tetrandrine was 103.65% and RSD was 1.59% .The recovery of fangchinoline was 97.11% and RSD was 1.91% (n=6). CONCLUSION: This method is simple,quick,reproducible and can be used for the quantitative analysis。

Objective To develope both qualitative and quantitative analytic method of the four urinary markers,i.e.lactate,uracil,orotate and hippurate,from ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency(OTCD) by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry(GC-MS).Methods Urea in urine samples was decomposed with urease,and heptadecanoiate was added as internal standard,then protein was denatured with ethanol and removed by centrifugation.After evaporation,the residue was derivatized trimethylsilylly by BSTFA/TMCS,and analyzed by GC-MS.ResultsThe markers can be separated in total ion current profiles,with indentifications confirmed by mass spectra.The significantly elevated levels of lactate,uracil and orotate in urine from OTCD patient were droped to normal or subnormal levels,together with large amount of hippurate excretion in the urine,after clinical therapeutic measures,including introduction of benzoic acid,were performed.Conclusion GC-MS analysis of the urinary markers is a valuable tool for the diagnosis and evaluation of the therapeutic outcome of OTCD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression and clinical significance of heat shock transcription factor 1 (HSF1) protein in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues,and deduce the probable molecular mechanism of HSF1 in the development and advancement of HCC.MethodsSixty-seven samples of HCC tissue and 21 samples of normal liver tissue were obtained from March 2006 to March 2007 at the Xijing Hospital.The expressions of HSF1 protein and heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) were detected by using immunohistochemistry.The probable molecular mechanism of HSF1 in the development and advancement of HCC was deduced according to the relationship between the expressions of HSF1 protein and HSP70.Positive rates of HSF1 protein in different tissues and the relationship between HSF1 protein expression in the HCC tissues and clinical pathological factors were analyzed by the chi-square test and by calculating Fisher exact probability,respectively.The correlation between the expressions of HSF1 protein and HSP70 in the HCC tissue was analyzed by the Spearman correlation coefficient.The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method,and the survival rate was analyzed by the Log-rank test.ResultsThe positive rates of HSF1 protein expression was 69％ (46/67) in the HCC tissue,which was significantly higher than 29％ (6/21) in the normal liver tissue ( x2 =10.628,P ＜ 0.05 ),The positive rates of HSP70 expression in the HCC tissue was 57％ (38/67),which was significantly higher than 24％ (5/21) in the normal liver tissue ( x2 =6.929,P ＜ 0.05 ).The expression of HSF1 protein in the HCC tissue was positively correlated with that of HSP70 (r=0.319,P ＜0.05).The high expression of HSF1 protein was correlated with the integrity of capsule of HCC,tumor differentiation and TNM stage (x2 =5.935,9.762,5.159,11.267,P＜0.05 ),while the high expression of HSF1 protein was not correlated with the gender,age,levels of hepatitis B surface antigen and alpha fetoprotein,and portal vein tumor thrombus ( x2 =0.822,0.172,2.059,P ＞0.05 ).The survival time was (21.4 ± 1.9 )months for patients with positive HSF1 protein expression and (29.8 ± 2.7 ) months for patients with negative HSF1 protein expression.There was a significant difference in the survival time between patients with positive and negative HSF1 protein expression ( x2 =4.276,P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusions HSF1 is correlated with the development,advancement,invasion,metastasis and malignant prognosis of HCC.HSF1 takes effects by regulating the expression of HSP70,and it has a good perspective of clinical application for the diagnosis and treatment of HCC.
