Objective To explore the necessity of inferior vena cava(IVC) filter implantation during catheter directed thrombolysis (CDT) for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Method Ninety-three patients with acute DVT were reviewed from Nov. 2006 to Dec. 2008. There were 35 men and 58 women, age averaging at (60 ±29) year old, treated with CDT followed by percutaneous transluminal angioplasty ( PTA). The course of DVT was from 5 h ～ 15 d (6. 28 ±7.08) d with 80 left lower limbs and 13 right lower limbs involved. Results There were 30 patients with prior IVC filter implanted compared with 63 patients without filters (67. 7% ,63/93). Among the patients without filter, there were 93. 6% (59/63) left lower limbs. DSA was redone after thrombolysis. Seventy-seven iliacfemoral thrombosis was resolved completely and stenosis or occlusion of the iliac vein were found in 90. 9% (70/77) cases. Endovascular treatment was performed in 57 patients. There was no patients suffering from symptomatic pulmonary embolism (PE). PE was found in 3 cases with a filter and 1 case without filter was suspected of PE on pulmonary CTA after treatment. Conclusion It is not necessary to routinely place an IVC filter during CDT for treating DVT on left lower limb when the thrombosis is not involing the IVC.

Orange peel was used as lowcost adsorbent in binding of Methylene Blue.The effects of equilibrium time,pH,dye concentration have been studied.Carboxyl,amine and phosphonate functional groups were present in the orange peel.The equilibrium time was 1 hour,the maximum adsorption capacities of the orange peel was 370.3?31.0 mg/g at pH 10.The Langmuir and Freundlich isotherms were well fitted in this biosorption system.Results showed relatively higher rate constant and biosorption capacities.These adsorption performance indicate the orange peel as a potentially economical adsorbent for dye removal.

Objective To investigate the effect of atorvastatin on vascular endothelial cell function and vasoactive substances in essential hypertensive patients without hyperlipemia. Methods Sixty-five essential hypertensive(EH) patients without hyperlipemia were enrolled and randomly divided into atorvastatin group and conventional treatment group(oral taken atorvastatin or placebo once every night in addition of routine antihypertensive drugs).Twenty five healthy subjects were also recruited as control.All cases were followed up for eight weeks.Serum cholesterol,nitric oxide(NO),emdothelin-1(ET-1),vonWillebrand-factor(vWF) levels were determined in each case.Flow-medizted dilation(FMD) was determined by high-resolution ultrasonography before and after eight weeks atorvastatin medication.Results (1)Before treatment,the FMD and NO levels of EH group were significantly lower than those of control group(P＜0.01),while the ET-1 and vWF levels of EH group were significantly higher than those of control group(P＜0.01);(2)In EH patients,the FMD and NO levels significantly increased after treatment and increased even more dramatically in atorvastatin group,when compared to conventional treatment group(Ps＜0.01);(3)In EH patients,the ET-1 and vWF levels significantly decreased after treatment and decreased even more dramatically in atorvastatin group,when compared to conventional treatment group(Ps＜0.01).Conclusion In patients of EH without hyperlipemia,atorvastatin can decrease plasma levels of ET-1,vWF,while increase plasma NO concentration and improve vascular endothelial function.

Objective To explore the strategy of repairing penile defect after necrosis caused by shortwave diathermy.Methods Between January 2004 and June 2012,18 cases with penile defect after necrosis caused by shortwave diathermy were admitted in our hospital.The age of those patients ranged from 18 to 55 years old (mean 34 years old).Among them,15 cases have been married.All patients have the history of penile shortwave diathermy therapy after surgery.After debridement,penile complete defect was found in 6 cases,incomplete defect was found in 10 cases and corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum partly defect was found in 2 cases.Under general anesthesia,we applied penis extent in 10 cases with incomplete defect,forearm free flap in 2 cases with penile complete defect,abdominal artery perforators flap in other 4 cases with penile complete defect.In 2 cases with corpus cavernosum and corpus spongiosum partly defect,the scrotal septal skin flap and fascia pedicle flap was used for 1-stage urethral reconstruction and costicartilage was implanted for 2-stage cavernosum reconstruction.Results 18 patients were followed up for 0.5-10.0 years (mean 2.3 years).16 cases with penile complete defect or incomplete defect had normal length after operation,ranged from 6.3 to 9.2cm.During erectile phase,the length of their penis ranged from 8.7 to 11.5 cm.No feeling abnormality or erectile dysfunction was complained.All patients exhibited the excellent morphology and felling of penis with minor scar in donor site.Early (half a month) complications included distant flap necrosis in 1 case and disruption of the wound in 1 case,which were cured after debridement and conventional treatment.After one year,we did not see the flap atrophy.One case had tumid which influenced penile beautiful and sexual intercourse.It was improved by local liposuction.One month after surgery,two patients with corpora cavernosa and corpus spongiosum partial defect had normal voiding.No feeling and erectile dysfunction were complained during the following-up.Conclusions According to the characteristics of the penile defect due to the shortwave diathermy,selecting the optimal skin flap and individual repair strategy are the keys to successful treatment.

Objective To investigate the correlation of possible risk factors with acute renal injury (AKI) after coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) and explore if the incidence of AKI could be lower by off-pump CABG for kidney protection.Methods Two hundred and nine patients who underwent coronary artery bypass surgery in Nanjing First Hospital from September 2010 to November 2013 were recruited.The patients were divided into AKI group (fifty-five cases) and non-AKI group (one hundred and fifty-four cases) according to the AKI criteria and compared the possible risk factors between two the groups by univariate analysis and multivariate analysis.Results The index of female gender,body mass index,age,hypertension,basic serum creatinine,ejection fraction,the number of coronary atherosclerosis,cardiopulmonary bypass,IABP for circulatory support,postoperative low cardiac output,lactate in AKI group were higher than that in non-AKI group by univariate analysis (P ＜ 0.05).And basic serum creatinine,ejection fraction,cardiopulmonary bypass,postoperative low cardiac output showed a significantly statistical difference between two group by multivariate analysis.Conclusions Cardiopulmonary bypass,basic serum creatinine,ejection fraction,postoperative low cardiac output were independent risk factors.Off-pump CABG could benefit for kidney protection.

BACKGROUND:In order to overcome the shortcomings of single materials, antibiotics-loaded hydroxyapatite/titanium composites have attracted people’s attentions.
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the biocompatibility of vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium nanotubes.
METHODS:Mouse osteoblasts, MC-3T3-E1, were co-cultured with titanium (Cp-T), TiO2nanotubes, and vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium nanotubes, respectively. Cel morphology and growth were observed after 1, 3 and 5 days of co-culture under inverted microscope and scanning electron microscope. The cel proliferation was detected by AO-EB method. The total protein, calcium and alkaline phosphatase levels were detected at 7 and 14 days of co-culture.
RESULTSAND CONCLUSION:The MC-3T3-E1 cels with good viability and morphology adhered wel on the surface of vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium nanotubes compared with those on the surface of pure titanium and TiO2nanotubes under the scanning electron miscroscope. Moreover, there were a large amount of pseudopodia on the surface of composite nanotubes. Compared with the other two groups, the cel number on the surface and the levels of intracelular calcium and alkaline phosphatase were al higher in the vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium nanotubes group. These findings suggest that the vancomycin/hydroxyapatite/titanium nanotubes have good biocompatibility and no cytotoxicity.

Objective To discuss the value of color Doppler ultrasonography in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of urinary tract urothelial carcinoma (UTUC).Methods Color Doppler ultrasonography exam was practiced in 84 UTUC patients preoperatively.According to ultrasound characteristics,lesions was classified into nodular type,wall thickening type and solid mass type,which were confirmed by pathology in all cases postoperatively.Results In the total of 84 cases (76 transitional-cell carcinoma,5 adenocarcinoma and 3 epidermoid carcinoma),lesions infiltrated laminae propria and surrounding tissue in 65 cases.In the nodular type of UTUC,there were nodules raising into lumen.Wall thickening type of UTUC was characterized by irregularly wall thickening,lumen narrowing,truncating and breaking.Similarly,obstruction broke off the ureteral lumen suddenly in solid mass type of UTUC.A clear demarcation could be found between the pipe wall and surrounding tissue in nodular type.However,such clear demarcation could not be found in wall thickening type and solid mass type.The accordance rate of ultrasonographic located diagnosis were 92.9 ％ (78/84),with 6 missed diagnosis cases.The accordance rate of qualitative diagnosis were 89.7％ (70/78).Conclusions As result of color Doppler ultrasonography,there were different relationship between lesion and the peripheral tissue in different types of UTUC.In types of wall thickening and solid mass,the demarcation was unclear and it is easier to violate the surrounding tissue.Color Doppler ultrasonography can provide more effective information for diagnosis and therapy UTUC.
