Objective To evaluate safety and validity of 3D video-assisted thoracoscopic technology in cardiac surgery.Methods Between October 2013 and July 2014,50 patients underwent 3 D Video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery including:5 atrial septal defect closure,1 ventricular septal defect closure,repairment of 1 unroofed coronary sinus,1 partial atrioventricular septal defect and 1 cor triatriatum,28 mitral valve replacement (1 re-MVR),1 tricuspid valve replacement,9 mitral valvuloplasty,2 left atrial myoxoma resection,and 1 left internal mammary artery harvest + minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass.All procedures were performed under extracorporeal circulation,using 30° thoracoscope and 3D high resolution monitor.Results There was no perioperative death.One patient was converted to median sternotomy because of pericardial adhesions.Mean operative time was(232.8 ± 54.7) min,mean cardiopulmonary bypass time was(128.0 ±42.5) min,mean aortic cross-clamp time was (74.7 ± 25.1) min.Mean ICU stay was (30.4 ± 22.0) h,mean duration of mechanical ventilation was(13.7 ± 11.9) h.Mean postoperative drainage time was (3.34 ± 1.91) d,mean hospital stay was (6.52 ± 3.06) days.There were 11 (22％) operative complications,including 4 intrathoracic bleeding,1 wound infection,3 hemothorax,1 brachial plexus injury,1 intractable hiccup and 1 mild paravalvular leakage.Compared with 20 mitral valve replacement by 2D thoracoscopy,the 3 D group was slightly less time consuming(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion 3 D video-assisted thoracoscopic cardiac surgery is feasible and safe,and it' s worthwhile to promote this promising technology.

Objective To examine whether the minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS) in atrial septal defect(ASD) closure yields better clinical outcome equivalent to those of more established procedures,such as median sternotomy,moreover,to provide our own clinical experience in ASD Closure.Methods From January 2012 to January 2013,100 ASD patients were treated,50 patients received traditional open heart surgery (OHS group),17 males and 33 females,aged(23.3 ± 7.5) years,weighted (47.5 ± 16.5) kg; 50 patients underwent video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS group),20 males and 30 females,(22.6 ± 8.2) years old and (49.6 ± 17.2) kg weight.Collected and analyzed the clinical date of intraoperation and postoperation.Results All patients survived after surgery without serious complications like death.Clinical date of both group(OHS group vs.VATS group)include:Total operating room time (121.3 ± 20.5) min vs.(105.3±17.5) min (P＜0.05); tracheal intubation time in ICU (210.0±36.5) min vs.(100.0 ±47.5) min(P＜0.05) ; volume of thoracic drainage after operation (350.3 ± 50.8) ml vs.(47.0 ± 10.9) ml (P ＜ 0.005) ; postoperative length of hospital stay (6.2 ± 1.7) days vs.(4.4 ± 1.5) days (P ＜ 0.005).Rate of return to work in 3 weeks of postoperation 0 vs.78.4％ (P ＜ 0.005).Conclusion Completed VATS in ASD closure is less invasive,accelerates recovery and maintains overall surgical efficacy,which brings good economic and social benefits.For the appropriate patients,and for the experienced and skilled surgeon,completed VATS is the best method of choice of ASD closure in our department.

Objective To summarize our experience and treatment results of nasopharyngeal carcinoma treated in a single institution. Methods From Jan. 2000 to Dec.2003,1837 patients with histologically proven nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC) were retrospectively analyzed. The disease was staged according to the Fuzhou stage classification. 885 patients received cisplatin (DDP) based chemotherapy. All patients received radiotherapy to the nasopharynx and neck. The dose was 30.6-74.0 Gy, 1.8-2.0 Gy per fraction over 3.5-8.0 weeks to the primary site with 60Co γ rays or 6 MV X-rays. The dose to lymph nodes was 60-68 Gy. The residual disease was boosted by 192Ir afterloading brachytherapy,small external beam fields, conformal radiotherapy,or X-knife. Results The median follow-up time was 54(3-90) months. The 5-year overall survival(OS), disease-free survival (DFS), relapse-free survival (RFS) and distant metastasis free survival(DMSF) rates were 67.42% ,63.25% ,86.47% and 80.31% ,respectively. Clinical stage was the most significant prognostic factor,and OS was 88% ,74.8% ,65.9% ,52.4% and 20% for stage Ⅰ ,stage Ⅱ,stage Ⅲ,stage ⅣA and stage ⅣB,respectively. Gender,T,N and TNM stage were the significant prognostic factors of OS in multivariate analysis. Conclusions For NPC patients,the 5-year OS of 67.4% is achieved by conventional radiotherapy technique in our institution. Both univariate and multivariate analysis shows that gender and clinical stage are the significant prognostic factors of OS.

Objective:To explore the action path and the potential mediating effects of depression and physical diseases on the influencing factors of mild cognitive impairment(MCI) in community, and provide the theoretical basis for the construction of the strategy of cognitive regulation.Methods:A convenient sample survey was conducted on 252 mild cognitive impairment patients in the community undergoing screening using the general information questionnaire, Montreal cognitive assessment scale(MoCA) and geriatric depression scale(GDS-15)from January 2018 to June 2019. SPSS 22.0 and AMOS 22.0 softwares were used to conduct descriptive analysis, correlation analysis, structural equation model and confirmatory factor analysis.Results:The score of MoCA was 19.66±3.90 for all MCI patients. There were significant correlations among age, education, social frequency, physical exercise frequency and depression degree, the number of physical disease and MoCA( r=-0.440-0.487, P<0.01). The structural equation model fits well(χ 2/ df=2.476, TLI=0.885, CFI=0.916, GFI=0.919, AGFI=0.871, RMSEA=0.077). Mediation modeling analysis showed that age, education, social frequency physical exereise frequency had a direct effect on cognitive function(effect value was -0.183, 0.458, 0.237, 0.174, P<0.01). There were partly mediating effect of the number of physical disease between age, education, physical exercise frequency and cognitive function(effect value was -0.106, 0.078, 0.075, P<0.01), and there were partly mediating effect of depression degree between age, social frequency, physical exercise frequency and cognitive function(effect value was -0.075, 0.080, 0.050, P<0.01), and there were chain mediating effect of the number of physical disease-depression degree between age, education, physical exercise(effect value was -0.028, 0.031, 0.019, P<0.01). Conclusion:The cognitive management of MCI among community should focus on the elderly, low education level groups.In the implementation of exercise intervention to improve cognitive function of health management strategy, while to strengthen the effective management of physical diseases and negative emotion evaluation and dredging, to increase the effect of exercise intervention on cognitive function improvement.

Objective:To evaluate the direct and sustained effects of multitask-process cognitive training program on cognitive function in the community elderly with mild cognitive impairment(MCI).Methods:Ninety-two participants with MCI who met the inclusion criteria were randomly selected from Huzhou community of Zhejiang province.According to the allocation ratio of 1∶1, the MCI participants were randomly divided into the cognitive training group and the control group, with 46 cases in each group.The participants in control group were received a cognitive function-health education program, and the participants in cognitive training group received an additional 10 weeks of multitask-process cognitive training.Respectively in three-time points of at baseline, after 10 weeks of training, and a 3-month follow-up to evaluate all participants with MCI executive function tested by trail making test A-B and Stroop color-word test, overall cognitive function tested by MoCA scale.Repeated measure ANOVA was used to compare the between-group variation, time effect and interaction effect of two groups at 3 time points.Results:The MoCA score of intervention group at T0, T1, T2 were 19.09±1.98, 21.09±1.41, 21.11±1.27 respectively, and the MoCA score of the control group were 18.24±2.22, 18.57±1.86, 18.07±1.90 respectively.Compared with the control group, the score of MoCA in the intervention group was significantly improved at T1 and T2 ( P< 0.05). Compared with control group, the Trail making test A-B, Stroop color-word interference test of intervention group were improved at T1, T2 ( P<0.05). Repeated measurement ANOVA shows that there were significant differences in Trail making test A-B, Stroop color-word interference test and MoCA between the two groups in terms of between-group effect, time effect and group-time interaction effect ( F=9.245~196.457, P<0.05). Simple effects analysis shows that compared with the control group, the multitask-process cognitive training had a positive direct effect on the Trail making test A-B, Stroop color-word interference test and MoCA, and these improvements maintained until the end of a 3-month follow-up ( F=2.757~201.829, P<0.05). During the research period, the compliance rate of the cognitive training group was 87.4%, and no adverse events occurred. Conclusion:The multitask-process cognitive training program positively promote the cognitive function of participants with MCI and provide a set of standardized and procedural nursing intervention program for the cognitive management of community participants with MCI.

BACKGROUND:The guinea pig is considered to be the most useful spontaneous model for evaluating primary osteoarthritis in humans because of its similar knee joint structure and close histopathologic features to those of humans. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the pathological process of spontaneous knee osteoarthritis in guinea pigs by analyzing the histopathology of the total knee joint of guinea pigs aged 1 to 18 months. METHODS:Eight healthy female Hartley guinea pigs in each age group of 1,6,10,14,16,and 18 months old were selected.The quadriceps femoris was taken for hematoxylin-eosin staining,and the total knee joint was stained with hematoxylin-eosin and toluidine blue.The histopathology of the cartilage,subchondral bone,synovium,meniscus,and muscles were observed under light microscope.Mankin's score and synovitis score were compared,and the correlation analysis was conducted. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:As the guinea pig age increased,the Mankin's score increased(P<0.05),and the pathological score of synovitis also gradually increased(P<0.05),and there was a significant positive correlation between the two(r=0.641,P<0.001).The incidence rate of subchondral bone marrow lesion in 18-month-old guinea pigs was 50%,and the incidence of meniscus injury was 37.5%.In addition,osteophyte and narrowing of the joint space were observed,and only a few guinea pigs had inflammation in the quadriceps femoris.To conclude,guinea pigs develop significant cartilage defects,synovial inflammation,subchondral bone lesions,meniscus injury,osteophyte formation,and joint space narrowing as they age,all of which are similar to the pathological processes of primary knee osteoarthritis in humans,making it an ideal model of spontaneous knee osteoarthritis.
