Objective To discuss the characteristics of in-patients with Beh(c)et's disease in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region.Methods Clinical data of 146 cases with Behcet's disease admitted to Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous region people's hospital were analyzed.The demographic data and clinical manifestations were analyzed retrospectively.The categorical data was compared using x2 test or Fisher's exact test.Results ① Of the 146 patients with BD,99 cases were Han,47 cases were uyghurs.Oral ulcer were observed in 146 cases (100％).Genital ulcer occurred in 115 cases (78.8％),of which 76 were Han (76.8％),39 (82.9％) were uyghurs,the difference was not significant (P=0.391).The initial presentation was oral ulcer in 83 cases (56.8％),of which 60 cases (60.6％) were Han,23 cases (48.9％) were the uyghurs.The second most common presentation was oral ulcer and genital ulcer,which occurred in 42 cases (28.8％),of which 23 cases (23.2％) were Han,19 cases (40.4％) were the uyghurs.More Han patients initially presented with both oral and genital ulcers than uyghur (P=0.032).② Skin lesions were recorded in 66 cases (45.2％),of which 45 cases (45.4％) were Han,21 cases (44.7％) were the uyghurs,the difference was not significant (P=0.930).③ Joint damage occurred in 40 cases (27.4％),of which 22 cases (22.2％) were Han,18 cases (38.3％) were the uyghurs.Joint damage wasmore frequently observed in Han than in uyghur (P=0.042).④ Eye lesion happened in 21 cases (14.4％),ofwhich 9 cases (9.1％) were Han,12 cases (25.5％) were the uyghurs,ie,eye lesion of Uyghur was higher than Han (P=0.008).⑤ Vascular lesions were detected in 8 cases (5.5％),of which the 5 cases were Han,3 cases were uyghurs,the difference was not significant (P=0.712).⑥ Nervous lesions were observed in 2 cases (1.37％),1 was Han and one was uyghur,the difference was not significant (P=0.542).Conclusion The most common clinical presentations of BD in Xinjiang region are oral and genitalulcers.Skin,joints,eye,vascular,nervous system can also be affected.Joint damage in Han is higher than Uyghur,but eye lesion of Uyghur is more common than Han.

Objective To assess the clinical characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in the elderly in Xinjiang.Methods As a retrospective study,clinical date and laboratory test results were collected from 87 elderly SLE patients and 222 non-elderly SLE patients (age ＜ 50 years) hospitalized in the People's Hospital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region from January 2006 to July 2016.Results The female to maleratio was 5.7 ∶ 1.0 in the older-onset SLE group and the female to male ratio was 11.3 ∶ 1.0 in the younger-onset SLE group.Of the 13 patients with predisposing factors in the older-onset SLE group(14.9 ％),11 had infection (12.6 ％),whereas the 27 patients with predisposing factors in the younger-onset SLE group (12.2 ％)had pregnancy,abortion or insolation,in addition to infection.Arthritis (63.2 ％),weakness (40.2 ％),malar rashes (36.8 ％),anorexia(26.4 ％),and shortness of breath(26.4 ％) were common clinical manifestations in the olderonset SLE group.The incidence of anorexia in the older-onset SLE group was higher than that in the younger-onset SLE group(P＜0.01),while the incidence of trichomadesis was lower in the older-onset SLE group than that in the younger-onset SLE group(P＜0.01);Aminotransferase elevation,creatinine elevation and thrombocytopenia were more common in the older-onset SLE group than in the younger SLE group (P＜0.05).Lower rates of positive anti-Smanti body and anti-Acl antibody were found in the older onset SLE group,compared with the younger-onset SLE group (P＜0.05);Han older-onset SLE patients showed higher rates of oral ulcers than older-onset SLE patients of Uygur,Kazak or other ethnic minorities (P＜0.05).There were no significant differences between Han and Uygur/Kazak patients in laboratory test results.Conclusions The proportion of male SLE patients in the elderly is higher than that in non-elderly SLE patients in Xinjiang.Also,elderly SLE patients are prone to oral ulcers but often do not show typical early clinical symptoms and have low levels of specific antibodies.Therefore,clinicians should pay particular attention to older onset SLE patients in order to reduce the rates of misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.

Objective:To describe the clinical features and immunological of Uygur systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) subjects.Methods:Atotal of 484 adult patients (≥18 years) followed in the People's Hospital of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region were included into this study including 211 Uygur patients with SLE and 273 Han patients with SLE.Results:① Of the 211 Uygur SLE patients, 195 (92.4%) were female and 16(7.6%) were male (female:male=12.2∶1), the mean age at SLE onset was 15-64(35±12) years, mean disease duration was 0.1-228(21±35) months.② Of the 211 Uygur SLE patients, the most prevalent clinical presentationswere renal involvement 56.4%(119/211), hematological 56.4%(119/211), rash 50.2% (106/211), arthralgia/arthritis 49.8%(105/211), weakness 47.9%(101/211). The significant difference observed between the Uygur and Han SLE patients was Raynaud phenomenon( χ2=6.066, P=0.014) .③ The positive rates of antinuclear antibodies were 94.8%(200/211), 54.5%(115/211) for anti-dsDNA antibodies, 47.9% (101/211) for anti-SSA antibodies, 35.1%(74/211) for anti-U 1-RNP antibodies, and 28.4%(60/211) for anti-AHA antibodies. The positivity of anti-AHA antibodies ( χ2=4.952, P=0.026) was higher in Uygur SLE patients than thatin Han SLE patients. More Uygur SLE patients were anemic ( χ2=6.904, P=0.009), with decrease of complement ( χ2=6.330, P=0.012). Conclusion:This study can not find any significant differences between the Uygur SLE patients and Han SLE patients in common clinical manifestations in Xinjiang. The Uygur SLE patients are more likely to have anemia and decrease of complement, which may be related to race and diet habits.

Objective To analyze the sensitivity and specificity of several volume parameters regarding volume responsiveness.The studied volume parameters include pulmonary artery obstruc-tion pressure (PAOP),central venous pressure (CVP),right ventricular end-diastolic volume (RV-EDV)measured by Swan-Ganz pulmonary artery catheter and left ventricular end-diastolic area (LVEDA),inferior vena cava diameter (IVC)measured by transesophageal echocardiography (TEE). Methods Twelve patients with ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ,scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting were studied.After anesthesia induction,the TEE probe was put into the esophagus and Swan-Ganz cathe-ter was placed in right internal jugular venous.Measurements were made at the time before cutting the skin (T0 ),20 min after divorcing from cardiopulmonary bypass or finishing vascular anastomosis in off-pump surgery(T1 ),10 min after rapid infusion (T2 )and 30 min after rapid infusion (T3 ),re-spectively.Results The values of PAOP,IVC,LVEDA,COLVOT at time T2 increased significantly compared to those at time T1 (P <0.01).No obvious correlation (r=-0.298 5、r=-0.091 8、r=-0.243 6)was observed between △CVP、△PAOP、△RVEDV and △COLVOT (the difference between T2 and T1 );Meanwhile,△IVC and △LVEDA were well correlated to △COLVOT (r= 0.445 0、r=0.612 0).Using more than 1 5% change of COLVOT after volume expansion as definition of positive re-sponse,the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves of CVP,PAOP,RVEDV,IVC and LVEDA were 0.389 (95% CI 0.035-0.743 ),0.458 (95% CI 0.109-0.807 ),0.333 (95% CI 0-0.671 ), 0.903 (95% CI 0.701-1.000 ) and 0.889 (95% CI 0.661-1.000 ), respectively. Conclusion PAOP,IVC,LVEDA,CO are more sensitive to the change of volume;while CVP and RVEDV have weak responses to volume changes.This indicates that IVC and RVEDA have more ad-vantage to estimate cardiac output increase and guide volume therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of sevoflurane preconditioning on the left ventricular function in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Thirty ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients,aged 42-70 yr,with body height 152-181 cm,weighing 43-78 kg,scheduled for elective CABG under CPB,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =15 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and sevoflurane preconditioning group (group SP).Group SP inhaled sevoflurane with the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC for 30 min after endotracheal intubation.Before sevoflurane preconditioning (T0) and at 60 min after termination of CPB (T1),mean arterial pressure (MAP),stroke volume index (SVI),pulmonary artery obstruction pressure and the TEE variables including left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF),peak E wave velocity (E),systolic wave velocity (S),and diastolic wave velocity (D),and low propagation velocity (Vp) were recorded.S/D ratio and E/Vp ratio were calculated.Extubation time and duration of ICU stay were also recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value at T0,HR was significantly increased at T1 (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),and no significant change was found in the other parameters of the left ventricle function in the two groups (P ＞ 0.05).There was no significant difference in the parameters of the left ventricle function,extubation time and duration of ICU stay between SP group and C group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Preconditioning with inhalation of sevoflurane with the end-tidal concentration corresponding to 1 MAC before CPB does not produce myocardial protection in terms of the left ventricular function or exerts little effect on the short-term outcomes.

Objective To evaluate the changes in early left ventricular myocardial diastolic function after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in the patients undergoing mitral valve replacement.Methods Twenty patients of both sexes,aged 40-70 yr,of ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ),with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45 ％,scheduled for elective mitral valve replacement with CPB,were enrolled in the study.Global and regional left ventricular diastolic function was measured by using TEE.After splitting of sternum and at 30 and 90 min after termination of CPB,HR,mean arterial pressure,central venous pressure,cardiac index,LVEF,early diastolic transmitral velocity (E),early diastolic tissue velocity (Ea),right ventricular early myocardial velocity (Em) and right ventricular late myocardial velocity (Am).E/Ea and Em/Am ratios were calculated.Results There was no significant difference in the parameters of hemodynamics and left ventricular diastolic function at each time point before and after CPB.LVEF was greater than 50％ and E/Ea ratio was greater than 20 at each time point in the patients.Conclusion There is no further damage to the early left ventricular myocardial diastolic function after CPB in the patients undergoing mitral valve replacement.

Objective To evaluate the changes in the right ventricular systolic and diastolic function during the early period after cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).Methods Eighteen ASA physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ patients of both sexes,with coronary heart disease (NYHA Ⅱ or Ⅲ),aged 50-80 yr,weighing 51-96 kg,with left ventricular ejection fraction≥50％,scheduled for elective CABG under CPB,were enrolled in this study.Before splitting of sternum and at 5 min after termination of CPB,the parameters of hemodynamics,cardiac output (CO)and variables of right ventricular function (using transesophageal echocardiography) including tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE),right ventricular fractional area change (RVFAC),tricuspid annular peak velocity during isovolumic contraction (IVV),peak velocity during ejection phases (St),early diastolic peak velocity (Et),late diastolic peak velocity (At),E/Et ratio and Et/At ratio were recorded.Results Compared with the baseline value before splitting of sternum,TAPSE,IVV,St,RVFAC,CO,E,Et and At were significantly increased,and no significant change was found in the parameters of hemodynamics and E/Et and Et/At ratios at 5 min after termination of CPB.Conclusion For the patients undergoing CABG,the right ventricular systolic function is significantly enhanced,and there is no obvious improvement in the right ventricular diastolic function during the early period after CPB.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sevoflurane on right ventricular systolic function after cardiopulmonary bypass in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG). Methods Eighteen patients with coronary heart disease,13 males,5 females,ASA Ⅱ or Ⅲ,aged 50-80 years,measuring 1 50-182 cm in height,weighing 5 1-96 kg,scheduled for CABG under CPB were enrolled in this study.Anesthesia was maintained with intravenous anesthesia, and 1 MAC sevoflurane inhalation lasted for 60 min after CPB.Hemodynamic indicators such as HR,MAP, CVP,cardiac output (CO),Systemic vascular resistance (SVR)and right ventricular parameters in-cluding tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE)and velocity (TAPSV)were recorded be-fore sternotomy (T2 ),30 min after CPB (T3 ),60 min after CPB (T4 ).Results Compared with T1 , CO was increased at T2 (P <0.05);compared with T2 ,CO was decreased at T3 and T4 (P <0.05 or P <0.01),with a statistical significance;compared with T1 ,TAPSE and TAPSV were increased at T2 (P <0.05 or P <0.01);compared with T2 ,TAPSE and TAPSV were decreased at T3 and T4 (P<0.05);with a statistical significance in TAPSE and TAPSV.Conclusion For the patients undergo-ing CABG under CPB,1 MAC sevoflurane inhalation after CPB can reduce right ventricular systolic function,which,however,is within the normal ranges.
