Objective The purpose of this study was to evaluate the perioperative management of patients with recent myocardial infarction (MI) undergoing non-cardiac surgery.Methods Twelve patients underwent general or thoracic surgery on the 72th to 175th day after acute MI. Their mean age was (67?4 ) years old. All patients received epidural block or epidural block combined with general anesthesia. Epidural catheter was left in place for postoperative analgesia.Results All patients underwent operation smoothly. During operation ECG monitoring showed no ischemic ST-T changes. Postoperative pain relif was satisfactory. No acute heart failure or myocardial reinfarction occurred during their stay in hospital.Conclusions In patients who had recent MI the time interval between the first MI and surgery should not be the only factor in the risk assessment. Other factors such as urgency of surgery, the severity of coronary artery disease, exercise tolerance and complexity of surgery should also be considered. Adequate preoperative evaluation and preparation and maintenance of cardiac function during perioperative period are crucial to the safety of surgery. Epidural block combined with general anesthesia is the anesthesia of choice for patient with recent MI undergoing non-cardiac surgery.

Objective To explore the clinical value of serum inhibin B in predicting ovarian stone.Methods 158 patients were divided 3 groups:73 premature ovarian failure(POF) group and 55 decreasing ovarian stone(DOS) group,while 30 nomal women were taken as the control group,their basal serum inhibin B(INHB),estradiol(E2),follicle stimulating hormone(FSH),resistance index(RI),ovary follicle(OVF),ovary diameter(OVD),and symptom point were detected.Results Comparde with the control group,the level of INHB decreased significantly in the POF group and DOS group(P

and each of the resistant strains was resistant at least to 5 antibiotics.13 strains out of the 28 harbored plasmids ranging from 1 to 6 in number and 105 Md to 2.7 Md in molecular weight.The plasmid with 50 Md was the most popular one in this study,which may be the epidemic plasmid in the urologic unit.It was also found that 2 different species of bacteria isloated from the patients with infection of the urinary tract showed identical plasmid profile,which indicates that these 2 patients may be associated with each other.

Student awareness of rehabilitation medicine theory was still weak after learning for some time. We tried to impart rehabilitation concepts and thoughts to students during the course of rehabilitation technique. Following one controlled and randomized study, the Results of treatment group was more significant than that of controls.

Objective:To investigate if downregulation of two mitotic checkpoint proteins, MAD2 and p55CDC, is a frequent event in human prostate cancer and whether decreased expression of these two proteins are associated with progression of prostate cancer. Methods: Using immunohistochemistry technique, the expressions of MAD2 and p55CDC proteins are examined in 46 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and 65 prostate cancer tissues. Differential expressions were compared first between BPH and prostate cancer specimens, and then among prostate cancer samples with different Gleason grades. Results: We found that down regulation of MAD2 and p55CDC expressions was significant in prostate cancer (96% and 83%, respectively) compared to BPH (19.5% and 4.3%, respectively) ( P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the efficacy and safety of new agent zaleplon in treatment of insomnia.METHODS:A randomized,double-blind,controlled and dosage-adjusted clinical trial was conducted.The subjects had been treated with zaleplon5～10mg/d and zopicolone7.5～15mg/d for14days,respectively.RESULTS:The scores of sleep dysfunction rating scale at endpoint were significantly reduced as compared with the baseline in both groups(P

Objective To evaluate the significance of surgical exploration for the refractory arterial crisis daring the hypersensitive period (48 h to 96 h) after replantation of severed fingers.Methods One hundred and seventy-one patients experienced refractory arterial crisis during the hypersensitive period after replantation of the proximal thumb from February 1995 to February,2005 in our department.Eighty-seven of them were managed with surgical exploration,including incision injury (n=6),saw injury (n=17),rotation and avulsion injury (n=30), and crush injury (n=34).Eighty-four cases received conservative treatment,including incision injury (n=6),saw injury (n=16).rotation and avulsion injury (n=29),and crush injury (n=33).In the surgery group,the e- mergent explorations were performed as soon as the refractory arterial crisis arose,If arterial spasm or/and thrombosis were found,the involved parts were resected before the artery ends were anastomosed or the finger artery was repaired by cubital vein graft.In the other group,conservative managements were carried out by using intramuscular injection of 30 mg Papaverine and intravenous injection of 20,000-unit Urokinase in 20 mL normal saline.If symptums were not alleviated after half an hour,the procedures were repeated.The conservative managements also included abirritative antipsychotics and analgesia of anodyne.Meanwhile,the survival state of all the digital replants was observed. Results In the surgery group,78 fingers survived,the surviving rate being 89.7%.In the conservative group,41 fingers survived with a surviving rate of 48.8%.The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01).No obvious complications happened in the two groups.Conclusion Since surgical exploration is crucial to management of refractory arterial crisis during the hypersensitive period after replantation of severed fingers,it should not be readily abandoned.

The amino acid contents of five floral sources Chinese honeys (jujube, rape, chaste, acacia, and lungan) were measured using reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC). The results showed that proline was the main amino acid in most of the analyzed samples. Phenylalanine presents at the highest content in chaste honey samples, and the total amino acid contents of chaste honeys were also significantly higher than those of other honey samples. Based on the amino acid contents, honey samples were classified using chemometric methods (cluster analysis (CA), principal component analysis (PCA), and discriminant analysis (DA)). According to the CA results, chaste honeys could be separated from other honeys, while the remaining samples were correctly grouped together when the chaste honey data were excluded. By using DA, the overall correct classification rate reached 100%. The results revealed that amino acid contents could potentially be used as indicators to identify the botanical origin of unifloral honeys.

Hepatitis B remains a worldwide health problem with a high mortality rate associated with end-stage liver diseases. The Model for End-Stage Liver Disease and Child-Pugh score is still widely used as the prognostic model for liver cirrhosis and inflammatory reaction, B-type natriuretic peptide and portal vein thrombosis are independent risk factors. Many new models have been proposed for liver failure, including a new model HINAT ACLF. HINAT ACLF is better than its preceding models and increased neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio is a single factor to promote thyroid hormone, cholinesterase, and antiviral treatment response in this model. HBV DNA is frequently involved in the predictive model of liver cancer, but with widespread use of antiviral drugs, the value of its long-term prognostication has gradually reduced. Therefore, liver stiffness value instead of HBV DNA shows apparent advantages in mREACH-B. ALBI has good median survival prediction value for hepatocellular carcinoma patients. Alpha-fetoprotein and staging method, which is based on tumor number and size, are still independent risk factors for liver cancer.

The authors summarize Professor SHI Qi's clinical experience in diagnosing and treating chronic tendon and bone disease.The specific diagnosing and treating thinking and methods could be summarized as follows:1)Three stages,which means chronic tendon and bone disease could be treated according to early,medium and late stages.2) Three differentiations,which include differentiating disease,type and syndrome.3) Three examining,which include seeing patient clearly,reading the disease and getting the key point.In addition,Prof.SHI emphasizes threepoint syndrome differentiation which means the combination of the lesion's target,peri-target and whole syndrome characteristics differentiation.In the process of treatment,Prof.SHI emphasizes three methods combination of herb,technique and breathing technique.Both internal and external treatments should be used.Prof.SHI advocates that the control strategy should be the prevention,treatment and recuperation integration concept,including preventing disease,early treatment to prevent deterioration and preventing reoccurrence after cure.
