Objective To investigate the effectiveness of interventional therapy for the atherosclerotic renal artery occlusion (ARAO). Methods During the period of June 2001-Dec. 2007, 16 patients with ARAO (total of 16 occluded arteries) underwent interventional managements, including percutaneous endovascular renal artery revascularization, balloon dilatation angioplasty and stent placement. Follow-up survey was made at regular intervals. The patent condition of the renal artery was evaluated with ultrasonography and digital subtraction angiography. The blood pressure and the renal function were determined and the data were statistically analyzed in order to assess the intermediate and long-term effect of the interventional therapy. Results Of 16 patients, technical success was achieved in 15 (93.8%) and failure occurred in one. During a follow-up period of 9 - 24 months, 3 patients died. According to the data obtained at each patient’s last follow-up survey, the hypertension fell to normal in 3 (25.0%), was improved in 7 (58.3%) and showed no marked change in 2 patients (16.7%), with a clinical efficacy of 83.3% (10 / 12). The renal function was improved in 2 (16.7%), stabilized in 6 (50%) and deteriorated in 4 patients (33.3%), with an effective rate of 66.7% (8 / 12). Conclusion For the treatment of atherosclerotic renal artery occlusion, the interventional therapy carries high successful rate and can effectively lower the blood pressure level, in addition, it can also protect the renal function in a certain degree.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on the secretory function of islet cells in rabbits.MethodsTwenty adult New Zealand white rabbits of both sexes,weighing 2.5-3.0kg,were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n =10 each):sham operation group (group S) and CPB group.The rabbits were anesthetized with 3％ pentobarbital sodium 30 mg/kg.Blood samples were collected from the left femoral artery at 5 min after anesthesia (T1),immediately before CPB (T2 ),immediately after aortic clamping (T3 ),and at 5,35 and 75 min after aortic unclamping (T4-6) in the two groups for determination of levels of blood glucose,insulin and glucagons.Insulin resistance index was calculated.ResultsCompared with group S,the blood glucose concentration and levels of insulin and glucagons and insulin resistance index at T3-6 were significantly increased in group CPB ( P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionAlthough increase in blood glucose enhances the secretion of insulin in islet β cells,hyperglycemia cannot be compensated completely by the increased insulin during CPB in rabbits.The increase in blood glucose may be related to islet α cell resistance.

Objective To evaluate the effects of Achilles tendon lengthening on talipes equinus in children with spastic cerebral palsy. Methods From December, 2013 to June, 2014, seventeen spastic cerebral palsy children with talipes equinus (34 feet) received Achilles ten-don lengthening. Ankle dorsiflexion range of motion (ROM) and surface electromyography from tibialis anterior and medial head of gastroc-nemius were measured before and 8 to 12 months after operation, respectively. ROM of passive and active dorsiflexion, root mean square (RMS) of tibia muscle group and co-contraction ratio (CR) when standing were compared. Results The ROM of ankle passive and active dorsiflexion increased (Z>4.867, P<0.001), while the RMS of gastrocnemius muscle decreased when ankle passively dorsiflex (t=4.31, P<0.001). RMS of tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius muscle changed little when standing (Z<1.291, P>0.05), while CR reduced (t=2.38, P<0.05). Conclusion Achilles tendon lengthening can improve the coordination of tibia muscle group to increase the ROM of ankle for chil-dren with talipes equinus after spastic cerebral palsy.

Scientific research output of clinical trials in Chinese medicine (CM) is insufficient, but international papers hold an important scientific position in China. Based on the current situation, we analyzed the present publication situation of international medical papers in our country, and the feasibility and urgency of publishing international papers on clinical trials of CM. Finally, we proposed to use the PDCA (plan-do-check-action) cycle method to improve the quality control and management of CM clinical trials. Moreover, by combining our experience in relevant scientific research launched at our department, we expounded strategies for improving the quantity and quality of international papers in CM.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of interventional therapy of occlusive lesion in iliaco- femoral arteries. Methods During Feb 2001 to Feb 2006, 42 patients (30 male and 12 female) with arterial occlusive lesions in iliac artery and/or femoral artery accepted interventional therapies. The interventional therapeutic process included local thrombolytic therapy through endoarterial catheter, artery recanalization by guide wire, pereutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stent. After interventional operation, patients were administrated anticoagulant and antibiotics one week. Follow-up interval ranged 2 years. Wilcoxon test and t test were used for statistics. Results Immediate technical successful rate was 97.6% (41/42),the secondary technical success rate was 100.0% (42/42). The arterial occlusions were resolved successfully (local thrombolytic therapy in 26 cases, recanalization by guide wire in 31 cases, PTA in 33 cases and 60 stents in 31 cases). There were no severe complications (such as angiorrhexis, perforation) during interventional procedure. The symptoms of lower limb ischemia were palliated or vanished in all patients after interventional therapy. The ankle-brachnial index(ABI) of diseased extremities increased from pre-operation 0.34±0.14 to past-operation 0.65±0.10 (t=25.924, P <0.01 ). During the follow-up, 11/42 (26.2%) iliac or femoral artery (treated with local intra-arterial thrombolysis, PTA and stent) occurred restenosis. After PTA and stenting, the restenosis arteries became fluent successfully. The primary patency rate was 92.8% (39/42)and the secondary patency rate was 100.0% (42/42)1 year after the procedure. Two years after the procedure, the primary patency rate was 71.4% (30/42) and the secondary patency rate was 97.6% (41/42). Conclusions Interventional therapy (including local thrombolysis, recanalization, PTA and stent) is an effective and safe therapy for occlusive lesion in iliaco- femoral arteries.
