Objective To determine platelet count (PLT),mean platelet volume (MPV),and hemodynamic changes in patients with cir-rhotic portal hypertension (CPH)post splenectomy plus pericardial devascularization (SPPD),and to assess the surgical effect on coagula-tion function.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 83 CPH patients undergoing SPPD in our hospital from January 2008 to December 2012.Results Compared with preoperative levels,postoperative portal venous pressure decreased,blood flow was reduced,and portal vein diameter was significantly reduced;additionally,postoperative hepatic artery diameter was increased,and hepatic artery blood flow increased.Blood alanine aminotransferase,albumin,total protein,and fibrinogen levels,thrombin time,and MPV did not significantly change 30 days postoperatively versus 7 days preoperatively(P>0.05 );the corresponding total bilirubin,activated partial thromboplastin time and prothrombin time relatively declined(P<0.05),whereas PLT and prothrombin time activity increased(P<0.05).There was a significant increase in PLT (P<0.05)but no significant change in MPV 30 days postoperatively versus 7 days preoperatively (P>0.05). Conclusion SPPD can significantly improve liver functional reserve and coagulation function in patients with CPH.

Objective: To observe the efficacy of contralateral needling combined with Maitland ankle mobilization in the treatment of chronic ankle sprain.Methods: A total of 106 patients with chronic ankle sprain were included in the study. They were numbered according to their order of visit, with odd numbers assigned to the control group and even numbers assigned to the observation group, with 53 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with Maitland ankle mobilization, while those in the observation group were given additional contralateral needling treatment. After treatment, we observed the indicators including, ankle circumference, range of motion (ROM) of dorsiflexion, ROM of plantar flexion, thickness of ankle ligaments, and the changes in Baird-Jackson ankle score, American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) ankle-hindfoot score, and visual analog scale (VAS) score to compare the efficacy between the two groups. Results: After treatment, the total effective rate of the observation group was 94.3％ and was significantly higher than that of the control group (81.1％), indicating statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, the ankle circumference of both groups decreased, and the ROM of dorsiflexion and the ROM of plantar flexion increased (P<0.05). The changes in the observation group were more significant, indicating inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, the thickness of the anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament, and posterior talofibular ligament, as well as the VAS scores decreased in both groups; the changes in the observation group were more significant, indicating inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). After treatment, the Baird-Jackson ankle score and the AOFAS ankle- hindfoot score increased in both groups, and the scores in the observation group were higher than those in the control group, indicating inter-group statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion: The efficacy of contralateral needling combined with Maitland ankle mobilization in the treatment of chronic ankle sprain is superior to that of Maitland ankle mobilization alone.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and feasibility of percutaneous puncture and catheterization sclerotherapy for the treatment of kidney cyst under ultrasonographic guidance. Methods Fifty-seven patients with simple renal cysts were divided into study group (30 cases) and control group (27 patients) according to the therapies. In study group, patients who had the cyst diameter ≤6.0 cm( 17 cases) received direct puncture sclerotherapy, while ＞6.0 cm (13 cases) received catheterization puncture sclerotherapy. In control group, patients who had performed laparoscopic surgery. Observed and compared the efficacy, hospitalization time, operative time and complications of two groups. Results Both groups had no case of recurrence after surgery. The effective rates in study group and control group were 93.3%(28/30 ) and 96.3% (26/27) respectively, and there was no statistical difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). The hospitalization time and operative time in study group [( 2.3 ± 1.7 ) d, ( 13.5 ± 3.7 ) min] were significantly shorter than those in control group [(5.8 ±2.2) d, (57.7 ±8.9) min] (P＜0.05); but the incidence of complications had no statistical difference between two groups (P ＞ 0.05). Conclusions Percutaneous puncture and catheterization sclerotherapy for the treatment of kidney cyst under ultrasonographic guidance has some advantages as good efficacy, less traumatic, rapid recovery and fewer complications. It is especially suitable to be used in the primary hospital.

The 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase activity of Sclerotinia sclerotiorum is one of the multifunctional enzyme AROM activities, which catalyzes a reversible conversion of shikimate 3-phosphate (S3P) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to EPSP and inorganic phosphate, and is inhibited by the herbicide glyphosate (N-phosphonomethyl glycine). AROM protein has been purified from Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and the EPSP synthase has been analyzed. The results indicated that the optimal pH and temperature of EPSP synthase were 7.2 and 30℃ respectively. The activation energy of the heat-deactivated reaction of the enzyme was found to be 69.62 kJ/mol. Both of the substrates, S3P and PEP, were showed to inhibit the reaction rate when their concentrations exceeded 1 mmol/L and 2 mmol/L respectively. The Km of 140.98 μmol/L for PEP and 139.58 μmol/L for S3P were obtained by Dalziel equation which was a steadystate kinetic equation of the enzymatic reaction with the double substrates. The kinetic pattern of the enzyme was consistent with a sequential mechanism. Inhibition of the EPSP synthase reaction by glyphosate was competitive with respect to PEP, with the Ki 0. 32 μmol/L, and noncompetitive with regard to S3P. Activation by [ K+ ] was observed in the forward reaction. The Km (PEP) was lowered by increasing [ K+ ], while the Km (S3P) changed irregularly and the Ki (PEP) was enhanced.

Objective To investigate the incidence changes, clinical characteristics and pregnant outcomes of pernicious placenta previa. Methods A retrospective cohort analysis on 316 cases with placenta previa in the Peking University First Hospital from January 2008 to December 2014. The research group were 60 cases with the patients of placenta previa with the history of cesarean section, and the control group were placenta previa without the history of cesarean section. Compared with the incidence, intraoperative blood loss, the pregnancy outcomes and so on. Results (1) The average incidence rate of placenta previa during the past 7 years was 10.96‰ (316/28 837). And the cases of pernicious placenta previa was 60 (2.08‰, 60/28 837), the incidence of pernicious placenta previa was rising from 2008 to 2014 (0.91‰-3.08‰). (2) There were 145 cases of placenta privia had been translation from other hospitals in the past 7 years. The referral rate of pregnant women with placenta previa was 45.9%(145/316), and the referral rate of pernicious placenta previa (63.3%, 38/60) was significantly higher than that of non-pernicious placenta previa group (41.8%, 107/256; χ2=9.080, P=0.003). Referral the outcomes of these patients were good, and no maternal death occurred. (3) The placenta in the research group were mainly adhered in the front wall of the uterine, and the incidence was 38.5%(15/39), higher than that in the group of non-pernicious placenta previa (12.1%, 21/174; χ2=57.636, P<0.01). The incidence rate of complicated placenta increased in research group was 53.3% (32/60), higher than that in the group of non-pernicious placenta previa, compared with the control group, there was significant difference (15.6%, 40/256; χ2=39.041, P<0.01). (4) The incidence of blood loss was more than 1 000 ml, blood transfusion rate, the rate of hysterectomy and the rate of asphyxia of newborn in the research group were respectively 41.7% (25/60), 38.3%(23/60), 8.3%(5/60), 15.0%(9/60), and the incidence of the group of non-pernicious placenta previa were respectively 4.7%(12/256), 12.9%(33/256), 1.2%(3/256), 8.6%(22/256), compared those in other two groups, there were not significant difference (P<0.05). Conclusions The incidence rate of placenta previa increased year by year, patients with placenta previa has a history of cesarean section often combined with placenta in anterior wall of the uterus, and often with poor pregnancy outcomes. Hierarchical referral system is an effective means to reduce the mortality of the pernicious placenta previa.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of paclitaxel or 5-fluorouracil combined with nadaplatin in the treatment of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma(NPC). METHODS:42 patients with advanced NPC were randomly divided into observation group and control group(n=21). 2 groups of patients were treated with radiotherapy. Observation group received che-motherapy of paclitaxel(135 mg/m2,d1)and nedaplatin(80 mg/m2,d 2-4);control group received chemotherapy of 5-fluoroura-cil(500 mg/m2,d1-5)and nedaplatin(80 mg/m2,d1-3);a treatment course lasted for 3 weeks,and both groups received 2 courses of treatment. Clinical efficacy, survival rate and ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:The overall response rate was 95.2%in observation group and 90.5% in control group,with no significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). The 3-year overall survival rate and progression-free survival rate were 81.0% and 71.4% in observation group and 76.2% and 66.6% in control group,with no significant difference(P>0.05). The incidence of nausea and vomiting in observation group were lower than in con-trol group,while the incidence of oral mucosa inflammation was higher than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The chemoradiotherapy of paclitaxel or 5-fluorouracil combined with nadaplatin have similar therapeutic efficacy for advanced NPC. ADR by chemoradiotherapy should be monitored closely and treated timely.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of phacoemulsification combined with goniosynechialysis on the treatment of primary angle-closure glaucoma (PACG) with cataract. Methods The retrospective review included 71 patients (98 eyes) with PACG and cataract treated in Tianjin Huanghe Hospital. Patients were underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation combined goniosynechialysis. Among these patients, there were 21 males (30 eyes) and 50 females (68 eyes). Patients ranged in age from 53 to 94 years old, everage (73.94 ± 6.43) years old. They were divided into acute angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group (47 patients, 64 eyes) and chronic angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group (24 patients, 34 eyes). The visual acuity, intraocular pressure (IOP), anterior chamber angle, anterior chamber depth (CCT), topical and oral medications and surgical complications were observed before and after surgery in two groups. All the patients were followed up for 6 months. Results At the end of follow-up, postoperative visual acuity, IOP, CCT, anterior chamber angle and IOP-lowing medicine (topical and oral medications) were all improved in the two groups compared with those of preoperative levels (all P < 0.01). There were no statistical differences in preoperative or postoperative average visual acuity, IOP and anterior chamber angle between two groups (all P > 0.05). Values of CCT were significantly higher before and after operation in chronic angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group than those of acute angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group (P < 0.05). No drug-control rate of intraocular pressure was 76.5% (26/34) for chronic angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group than that of acute angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group (100%, 64/64). There was no need on topical medication in acute angle-closure glaucoma with cataract group. There were 14 eyes had corneal edema and 8 eyes appeared iris fibrous exudation in two groups, while no other serious complications. Conclusion For patients with PACG and cataract, the combined surgery of phacoemulsification and goniosynechialysis is a safe and effective therapy that can improve visual acuity and reduce IOP with fewer complications.
