Objective: To investigate the peri-operative incidence of depression and anxiety symptoms of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Methods: 73 patients,who underwent scheduled consecutive CABG between July 2005 and May 2006,were assessed with self-rating depression scale( SDS) and self-rating anxiety scale(SAS)before operation and before leaving hospital.Results: 21 patients (28.8%) had depression and/or anxiety symptoms before CABG, including 11 patients with depression, 7 patients with both depression and anxiety and the other 3 patients had anxiety symptoms. 34 patients (46.6%) had depression and/or anxiety symptoms after CABG, including 18 patients who had depression, 13 patients had both depression and anxiety symptoms and the other 3 patients had anxiety symptoms. The SDS score(47.9?10.0)after surgery was significantly higher than that before surgery(43.7?10) ,t=3.55, P=0.001. The SAS score after surgery (41.6?8.5) was significantly higher than that before surgery (39.3?7.4),t=2.20, P=0.031. Patients with bad mood before operation had lower educational levels (8?3/10?3,t=2.18,P=0.032). Four patients had multiple myocardial infarctions, all of them were in the anxiety-depression group postoperatively (4/34 vs 0/39,P=0.043). There was no difference in post-operative length of hospital stay between the two groups.Conclusions: The peri-operative incidence of depression and anxiety of CABG patients was very high and even higher after surgery. Less education is a risk factor for preoperative depression and anxiety states, multiple infarctions is a risk factor of post operative anxiety and depression.

Objective:To investigate the incidence rate and risk factors of acute kidney injury (AKI) after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG),and to compare the effects of AKI on complications after operation and major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) after 3 years' follow-up.Methods:In the study,299 consecutive patients who underwent scheduled off-pump CABG from January 2010 to March 2012 were included.The patients were divided into AKI group with AKI and control group without AKI after operation.The data during perioperative stage were compared,and multivariable Logistic regression modeling was used to identify the risk factors of AKI.The complications were compared after surgery and the patients were followed up for 3 years to observe the difference of MACCE between the two groups.Results:AKI occurred in 37.1％ patients (111/299).The elevated serum creatinine levels (Wald =9.276,P =0.002,95 ％ CI 1.006-1.028),chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) (Wald =3.469,P =0.063,95％ CI 0.950-7.630),decreased left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (Wald =4.414,P =0.036,95 ％ CI 0.965-0.999),and implantation of intraaortic balloon pump (IABP) before or after operation(Wald =6.745,P =0.009,95％ CI 1.336-7.925)were risk factors of AKI in multivariable logistic regression modeling.More complications occurred in AKI group,such as the duration of mechanic ventilation,the time of ICU and the length of stay post operation,reintubation,pulmonary infection,stroke,hemorrhage of digestive tract,the volume of blood transfusion (plasma and red blood cell) and renal replacement therapy(P ＜ 0.05).The difference of mortality rate had no statistical significance between the AKI group and the control group,but two patients died in the AKI group.The difference of MACCE between the two groups had no statistical significance after 3 years' follow-up either.Conclusion:The incidence of AKI was high (37.1％) after off-pump CABG.The elevated serum creatinine levels,COPD,decreased LVEF,and implantation IABP before or after operation were independent risk factors of AKI in multivariable Logistic regression modeling.More complications occurred in AKI group during perioperative period,but the difference of MACCE between the two groups after 3 years' follow-up had no statistical significance.

BACKGROUND: Auditory steady-state responses (ASSR) is an objective method of hearing examination in clinic in recent years. ASSR has the frequency specificity as compared with previous auditory brainstem responses (ABR).OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of ASSR in objective hearing assessment.DESIGN: A case-control observation.SETTING: Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University.PARTICIPANTS: The subjects in the normal hearing group were the 21 undergraduates (42 ears) were enrolled, they all had not any symptoms of ear disease, without history of noise exposure and disease of vestibule system, and they were normal in otoscopy. The outpatients and inpatients with neurosensory deafness were selected from the Department of Otorhinolaryngology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University. All the children cases worn hearing aids, and had the speech ability, and cooperated in the examination. The main types included 6 ears of sudden deafness,8 ears of presbycusis, and 20 ears of neurosensory deafness due to other unknown causes. Central lesions were excluded by MR examination, and all the patients agreed with the enrollment. The results of pure-tone audiometry were all flat or descending audiogram. According to the severity of hearing damage, the patients were divided into mild deafness group (13ears), moderate deafness group (9 ears) and moderate-to-severe deafness group (12 ears).METHODS: ① The pure-tone audiometry was performed at the frequencies of 0.125-8 000 Hz in a sound insulation room. The auditory threshold grades of the subjects with normal hearing all accorded with the standards of GB-7583-87 expected value distribution. The average value of air-conduction auditory thresholds of pure-tone audiometry at the frequencies of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz was calculated. ② ASSR measurement was performed with the synchronous stimulation pattern in a sound and electromagnetic shielding room, including 8 points for both ears of the same stimulation intensity and the carrier frequency tones of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 kHz respectively.③ ABR examination was performed by click sounds with sparse waves in a sound and electromagnetic shielding room, and insert earphones were used.The threshold results were judged according to the minimal stimulation sound intensity of the distinguishable Ⅴ wave. ③ The results of pure-tone audiometry were compared with those of ABR examination, and the results of ASSR measurement in different hearing groups were processed with analysis of variance, multi-classification discrimination based Bayes standard and q test.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The thresholds of pure-tone audiometry, ASSR measurement and ABR examination, and the correct rate analyzed by the multi-classification discrimination based Bayes standard were mainly observed.RESULTS: The indexes of the 42 ears in the normal hearing group, 13, 9 and 12 ears in the mild, moderate and moderate-to-severe deafness groups were all involved in the analysis of results. ① The ABR values were accorded with the actual hearing levels, and the closest to the ASSR thresholds at 1-2 kHz; ASSR reflected induction rates at different frequencies were gradually decreased with the aggravation of hearing damage, and that at each frequency varied with the changes of hearing level, the induction rates of ASSR responses were all 100% for the subjects with normal hearing and patients with mild deafness, but those for the patients with moderate and moderate-to-severe deafness were decreased (0.5 kHz: 77.8%,92.8%; 4 kHz: 88.9%, 85.7%). At different frequencies, the ASSR thresholds in the moderate-to-severe deafness group were significantly higher than those in the normal hearing group (P ＜ 0.05). The ASSR thresholds at 0.5 and 4 kHz in the moderate-to-severe deafness group were significantly higher than those in the mild deafness group (P ＜ 0.05). The ASSR threshold at 2 kHz in the mild deafness group was significantly higher than that in the normal hearing group (P ＜ 0.05). The ASSR thresholds at 4 kHz in the everedeafness group were significantly higher than those in the normal hearing group and mild deafness group. ② The incorrect discriminations of actual pure-tone audiometry were analyzed with the interactive clustering discriminant analysis of ASSR measurement and actual pure-tone audiometry, and the results showed that the correct rate of discrimination was 100% in the normal hearing group; Only 1 of the 12 cases in the mild deafness group was incorrectly judged, and the correct rate was 92%; Only 1 of the 19 cases in the moderate deafness group was incorrectly judged, and the correct rate was 89%; the correct rate in the moderateto-severe deafness group was 83%.CONCLUSION: The results of ASSR measurement can detect the incorrect discrimination of objective hearing condition by taking the results of pure-tone audiometry as the standards. ASSR has an acceptable accuracy for deafness higher than mild level in estimating objective hearing, and it has a better prospect of application in practice.

Objective Recent studies in neonatal animals have shown that even slightly decreasing in brain or core temperature could ameliorate the damage resulting from hypoxic-ischemia insults. But the influence of hypothermia which had been used after the end of hypoxia-ischemia of the model hypoxia-ischemia brain damage(HIBD)was unknown. This research wanted to investigate whether hypothermia of defferent begin time after HIBD still could protect the brain in neonatal rats. Methods Pericranial temperatures were adjusted to 31 C in neonatal rats immediately or 2h after the end of hypoxia-ischemia(HI),the number of apoptosis cells in HIBD rats' brain had been counted,rat pups' storing food ability had been observed. Results Apoptosis increased obviously when rat pups were 8 days old, while hypothermia reduced apoptosis ,and postponed apoptosis expression in group that 31 C hypothermia was used immediately or 1h after the end of HI,and hypothermia improved the rat pups' storing food ability. This effect was more obviously in the group that hypothermia was used immediately after the HI than in the group that hypothermia was used 1h after the HI. But the protective effect was not clear in the group that hypothermia was used 2 h after the HI. Conclusion Hypothermia which was used within 1h after the end of HI could protect the HIBD neonatal rat pups brain, this effect was more obviously in the hypothermia be used early after the end of HI group than in the hypothermia be used late after the end of HI group.

The paper is to report the pharmacokinetics of furosemide in rats living at plain area and high altitude. After intragastric administration of furosemide (2.87 mg x kg(-1)), serial blood samples (0.5 mL) were collected by retro-orbital puncture at 0, 20 min, 40 min, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 h, samples were determined by LC-MS/MS, and plasma concentration-time data were analyzed by DAS 2.0 software to get the related pharmacokinetic parameters. The main pharmacokinetic parameters: area under curve (AUC), mean residence time (MRT), the biological half-life (t1/2) and the peak concentration (C(max)) of furosemide, were significantly increased at high altitude, the time to reach peak concentration (t(max)) and clearance (CL) was significantly decreased. This study found significant changes on the pharmacokinetics of furosemide under the special environment of high altitude. This finding may provide some references for clinical rational application of furosemide at high altitude.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficiency of Huayu Xiaozhong Decoction (HXD) on preventing peri-operative deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in lower limbs following artificial total hip replacement. Methods Ninety cases following artificial total hip replacement were randomized into blank control group, Rivaroxaban group and HXD group, 30 cases in each group, and were treated with brown sugar water, Rivaroxaban, HXD respectively. Before operation, and one, 3 and 14 days after operation, we monitored the changes of bleeding volume, DVT incidence, hemoglobin, prothrombin time ( PT) , activated partial thromboplastin time ( APTT) , international normalized ratio (INR), and D-dimer (DD) in the three groups. Results (1) Fifteen cases had DVT, with a total incidence rate of 16.67%. Of the 15 cases, 10 were from blank control group, 2 from Rivaroxaban group, and 3 from HXD group. ( 2) The amount of bleeding volume of Rivaroxaban group was larger than that of the blank control group and HXD group (P<0.05), but the bleeding was mild. (3) One, 3 and 14 days after operation, PT and APTT were shortened in blank control group (P<0.01 compared with those before operation). PT, APTT and INR were prolonged, and coagulation function was improved in Rivaroxaban group and HXD group, the differences being significant as compared with the blank control group ( P<0.05). HXD group had better effect on improving INR than Rivaroxaban group ( P<0.05). ( 4) In the three groups, hemoglobin level began to decrease on postoperative day one, arrived to the bottom on postoperative day 3 (P<0.05), and rose up near to the normal level on postoperative day 14; HXD group had higher hemoglobin level than blank control group and Rivaroxaban group on postoperative day 3 and 14 ( P<0.05). The 3 groups had higher plasma DD level than the normal level before the operation, arrived to the highest level on postoperative day one and 3 ( P<0.05) , and fell down near to the normal level on postoperative day 14. The inter-group comparison results showed that Rivaroxaban group and HXD group had lower DD level than the blank control group on postoperative day 3 and 14 ( P<0.05). Conclusion HXD is effective on preventing DVT in the peri-operation period through reducing bleeding, increasing hemoglobin level and improving postoperative anemia. The efficiency and safety of HXD are similar to Rivaroxaban.
