Objective To evaluate the value of liver acquisition with volume acceleration(LAVA) in the diagnosis of hepatic outflow abnormalities.Methods LAVA was performed in 78 patients with suspected hepatic outflow abnormalities,thrombosis,stenosis,occlusion,or compression,including 71 hepatocellular carcinomas and 7 Budd-Chiari syndrome.Image quality and the presence of venous abnormalities and collaterals were evaluated.Results LAVA images were of diagnostic quality and without artifact in all patients.LAVA clearly showed the vascular anatomy and various disorders.The site,extent,cause of venous obstruction,and collateral pathways were well depicted.Conclusion LAVA is simple to perform and accurate in detecting hepatic outflow abnormalities.

ObjectiveTo investigate whether intracerebral transplantation of heterogenous neural stem cells(NSCs) may cause immunal rejection or not.MethodsNSCs derived from the brain of embryonic 16-day Wistar rat were cultured in vitro. Cerebral ischemic SD rat models were made by middle cerebral artery occlusion and NSCs were transplanted into the ipsilateral or contralateral caudate nucleus 4 days later. Rats were sacrificed at different time points after transplantation, the reaction and proliferation of mononuclear phagocytic system(MPS) and splenic follicles as well as the survival and migration of NSCs were checked.ResultsNumerous NSCs survived and migrated toward the lesion in vivo. Comparing with control group that did not receive NSCs transplantation, there was no significant infiltration of mononuclear phagocytes or proliferation of splenic follicles in NSCs transplanted rats.ConclusionsIntracerebral transplantation of heterogenous neural stem cells did not cause remarkable immunal rejection.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of LARS artificial ligament on reconstruction of anterior and posterior cruciate ligament of keen joint.METHODS: Articles addressing reconstruction of anterior and posterior cruciate ligament by LARS artificial ligament were retrieved from VIP database (http://www.cqvip.com/) with the key words of "LARS artificial ligament, cruciate ligament,reconstruction" in Chinese between January 2000 and February 2010.Inclusion criteria: advantages and disadvantages of reconstructing anterior and posterior cruciate ligament by LARS artificial ligament; clinical application of reconstructing anterior and posterior cruciate ligament by LARS artificial ligament.Exclusion criteria: Duplicated studies or old references were excluded.A total of 31 articles were included in the final analysis.RESULTS: Reconstruction of anterior and posterior cruciate ligament by LARS artificial ligament characterized by convenient operation, short operative time, mild trauma, engaging in movement early, great strength, simple implantation, and reliable fixation; however, most patients were not able to bear the high medical cost, thus clinical application was limited.Scholars thought that LARS artificial ligament had great effects on reconstruction of anterior and posterior cruciate ligament.CONCLUSION: Patients who had multi-ligament injury, overhauling of ligament, and early movement were treated with LARS artificial ligament.

The students from the experimental group participated in the training activities, in which concept-map orientation and clinical case served as a vehicle. While the students from the control group attended lectures held by nursing department. All the students fulfilled the Measure Scale of Autonomous Learning Competencies of Nursing Undergraduates before and after this study. Results There was significant difference between before and after the study, and significant difference was also seen in total score and score of each dimension between the experimental group and the control one. Conclusions The teaching method of conceptmap orientation can cultivate nursing students' autonomous learning competencies.

Objective To observe and explore the therapeutic effect of acupuncture combined rehabilitation training in treating with spasm cerebral palsy patients.Methods 128 spasm cerebral palsy patients in our hospital from February 2012 to May 2014 were selected and randomly divided into the observation group (68 cases) and the control group (60 cases).The patients of the control group were given massage,ganglioside intravenous treatment,the patients of the observation group were given acupuncture combined rehabilitation training on the basis of the control group.The total treatment was 3 months,after the treatment,the Ashworth score and the total effective effective rate of the two groups were compared.Results After treatment,the observation group of patients with Ashworth spasm rating scale significantly better than that of control group (P ＜ 0.05),the observation group of patients and the control group after treatment in patients with Ashworth spasm of rating scale were significantly better than that of before treatment (P ＜ 0.05),the treatment of patients with observation group total effective rate is significantly higher than control group (P＜ 0.05).Conclusions On the basis of the comprehensive treatment of acupuncture combined rehabilitation training therapy in patients with spastic type cerebral palsy treatment effect significantly,can significantly improve the patient' s level of limb muscle tension,worthy of clinical popularization and application.

Objective To explore the effects of oral rehydration salts [Ⅰ] (ORS Ⅰ) for autonomic nerve mediated syncope(NMS) in children with different hemodynamic patterns.Methods A total of 105 patients with unexplained syncope and prodromal symptoms of syncope who were confirmed as NMS by head-up tilt table test(HUTY) and treated in the Department of Pediatric Cardiovasology,Children's Medical Center,the Second Xiangya Hospital,Central South University,from March 2012 to February 2015.Their ages were from 4 to 18 years old,the average age was (11.96 ± 2.86) years old.Totally 73 cases were diagnosed as vasovagal syncope (VVS) (46 cases were vasodepressor type,27 cases were VVS mixed type or cardioinhibitory type),while 32 cases were diagnosed as postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome(POTS).Simple random method was used to divide them into conventional therapy (health education and tilt training) plus ORS Ⅰ group (55 cases),and conventional therapy group (50 cases).Patients were followed up for 6-25 (14.82 ± 6.13) months.The recurrence of syncope and review of HUTT outcome assessment in 6 months,treatment was studied to evaluate short-term efficacy of 2 different therapies for NMS in children with different hemodynamic patterns.Taking recurrence of syncope as outcome events,Kaplan-Meier curves were drawn to compare long-term efficacy of different therapies in treating NMS children.Results There was no statistical difference in the short-term efficacy among the different hemodynamic patterns when treated with conventional therapy plus ORS I,or conventional therapy(all P ＞ 0.05).The cumulative efficiency of the conventional therapy plus ORS Ⅰ was superior to that of the conventional therapy for NMS children through the long-term follow-up study (74.5％ vs.52.0％,x2 =14.424,P ＜ 0.01).Patients with vasodepressor patterns had a better response than those with mixed or cardioinhibitory patterns to conventional therapy plus ORS I (90.0％ vs.61.1％,x2 =4.435,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Compared with VVS mixed type or cardioinhibitory type,children with VVS vasodepressor patterns are more appropriate to take ORS I as initial treatment.

Objective To compare the differences of liver function indexes in patients with acute left heart failure and congestive heart failure , and to provide the basis for the diagnosis of heart failure .Methods 142 cases of heart failure from March 2014 to December 2015 in our hospital were selected and divided into 68 cases of acute left heart failure group and 74 cases of congestive heart failure group.The differences in liver function tests were compared between the two groups by comparing the differences in the indexes of heart failure, liver blood biochemistry, general biochemical indexes and late follow-up data.Results Compared with the indexes of heart failure, there were no significant differences in ejection fraction, NT-proBNP, history of heart failure>one years, and the number of patients with right heart failure, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Comparison of liver blood biochemistry: patients with acute left heart failure were alanine aminotransferase, aspartate amino transferase, albumin increased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and glutamyl aminotransferase, total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, indirect bilirubin decreased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).There was no significant difference between the two groups of patients with alkaline phosphatase and total protein.Compared with the general biochemical indexes, increased triglyceride levels in patients with congestive heart failure group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), there was no significant difference in other indexes.Conclusion AHF patients with ALT, AST increased, CHF with GGT, TBIL, DBIL, IBIL increased, ALB decreased mainly.
