Chongqing Medicine 2014;(32):4326-4328
Objective To investigate the effect of the reduction of serum uric acid(SUA) on blood pressure(BP) control and re‐nal function protection in hypertensive patients with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (HUA) .Methods One hundred and forty‐eight hypertensive patients with asymptomatic HUA were randomly divided into two groups ,namely HUA reduction group and control group .Patients in HUA reduction group was provided with benzbromarone and low purine food ,while patients in control group was given placebo and ordinary diet .All patients were given the same method of antihypertensive drugs .Follow up was preformed for 6 months ,data of BP ,SUA ,creatinine(Cr) ,creatinine clearance(Ccr) ,24 h microalbuminuria quantity(MAU) ,serumβ2 microglobulin (β2‐MG)and adverse reactions were recorded and analyzed .Results The systolic blood pressure(SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) of patients in HUA reduction group significantly decreased immediately after being treated ,while SUA decreased 1 month after being treated .Compared with control group ,the average SBP and DBP of patients in HUA reduction group was significantly lower 3 months after being treated;the SUA was significantly lower 1 months after being treated ,the levels of Cr ,Ccr ,MAU andβ2‐MG was significantly lower at 3 months and 6 months after being treated (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The SUA therapy can effec‐tively lower BP and SUA levels of primary hypertensive patients with asymptomatic HUA while protecting renal function .

In order to get more pulse diagram valuable information, we summarized the traditional acceleration in the pulse chart based on the calculation of a new high-precision calculation of the acceleration pulse graph algorithms, being suitable for a large amount of data to adapt to requirements of high-resolution digital pulse diagram analysis, optimizing the acceleration pulse mapping process, reducing the impact of noise on data analysis, and improving the ability to distinguish details of the image. In addition, we used the spectrum analysis diagram for high-precision acceleration pulse. By doing so, we overcomed the traditional acceleration noise in the pulse data as the large loss, we found flat pulse, slippery pulse, taut pulse acceleration spectrum of feature points in the new Chinese medical traditional pulses. We then were able to recognize the pulse diagram calculated at the acceleration level to identify the frequency domain.

Objective To retrospectively study the relationship between several risk factors such as cirrhosis,Child-Pugh classification,tumor size,portal vein tumor thrombus,intraoperative transfusion,hepatic portal occlusion time and the prognosis of hepatic cellular cancer( HCC ) patients after hepatic resection. Methods The clinical data of 123 patients who received hepatic resection for HCC at Tongji Hospital between 2007 and 2009 were retrospectively analyzed. Log-Rank test and Cox proportional hazard model were used in the univariate and multivariate analyses of risk factors. Results 1,2,3,5 year recurrence and survival rates were 54. 17%,66. 67%,81. 40%,87. 50% and 93. 50%,73. 17%,58. 54%,27. 64%,respectively. The mean recurrence time and survival time were 19. 5 months and 42. 9 months. In univariate analysis,presence of cirrhosis(χ2 =11. 159,P=0. 005),Child-Pugh classification(χ2 =7. 715,P=0. 028),tumor size(≥5cm)(χ2 =11. 483,P=0. 004),presence of portal vein invasion(χ2 =22. 271,P=0. 001)were risk factors affecting HCC recurrence. In multivariate analysis,presence of cirrhosis(χ2 =8. 993,P=0. 003),tumor size (≥5cm)(χ2 =4. 022,P=0. 039),presence of portal vein invasion(χ2 =5. 023,P=0. 027)were inde-pendent risk factors affecting HCC recurrence. In univariate analysis,presence of cirrhosis(χ2 =7. 339,P=0. 025),AFP﹥400 ng/ml(χ2 =5. 431,P=0. 042),Child-Pugh classification(χ2 =13. 389,P=0. 002), tumor size(≥5cm)(χ2 =11. 342,P=0. 003),presence of portal vein invasion(χ2 =52. 167,P﹤0. 001), hepatic portal occlusion(χ2 =5. 801,P=0. 037),intraoperative blood transfusion(χ2 =14. 959,P=0. 001) were risk factors affecting a shorter overall survival. In multivariate analysis,presence of cirrhosis(χ2 =9. 133, P=0. 003),Child-Pugh classification(χ2 =4. 799,P=0. 028),tumor size(≥5 cm)(χ2 =9. 101,P=0. 004),presence of portal vein invasion(χ2 =11. 126,P=0. 001),hepatic portal occlusion(χ2 =3. 985, P=0. 046)were independent prognostic factors affecting shorter overall survival. Conclusion Cirrhosis, Child-Pugh classification,tumor size(≥5 cm),presence of portal vein invasion,and hepatic portal occlusion were independent prognostic factors for HCC patients after hepatic resection.

Objective To evaluate the safety and application value of stripping operation for the treatment of liver cavernous hemangioma. Methods Clinical data of 56 patients with liver cavernous hemangioma who underwent stripping operation in Hepatic Surgery Center, Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical college, Huazhong University of Science and Technology from May 2008 to May 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. There were 21 males and 35 females with age ranging from 23 to 65 years old and the median age of 44 years old. The informed consents of all patients were obtained and the ethical committee approval was received. The patients received combined intravenous and endotracheal anesthesia. Occluding stripes were preset at the first porta and infrahepatic inferior vena cava, and the proper hepatic artery was dissected and clamped. Liver cavernous hemangioma was sharply dissected along its surface when the tumor got soft and shrunken. And the vessels in and out of the tumor were ligated. Pringle maneuver and infrahepatic inferior vena cava interruption (interruption length: 5-15 min) were performed in case of uncontrolled bleeding during the stripping operation. Results All the liver cavernous hemangiomas were enucleated successfully. The mean intraoperative blood loss of the patients was (437±135)ml, and no case received blood transfusion. Rupture of right hepatic vein was observed in 4 cases and rupture of middle hepatic vein in 2 cases during the operations, and they were successfully repaired with Prolene sutures. No death was observed during the perioperative period. Right-sided pleural effusion and peritoneal effusion were observed in 7 cases and bile leakage at the cut surface of liver in 1 case after the operations, and all were cured by drainage and symptomatic treatment. Conclusion Stripping operation is a safe and effective surgical procedure for liver cavernous hemangioma.

Objective:To evaluate the feasibility of using a visual positioning system for both motion phantom and clinical quality control.Methods:A phantom experiment was conducted using the Dynamic Thorax Phantom from CIRS. Different ranges of motion were simulated to assess the discrepancies between camera-recorded positions and actual movements. Visual markers were also attached to the treatment bed and the collimator head, and their movements were simulated as part of the experiment. The experiment was repeated for three times. Discrepancies between system measurements and manual measurements were recorded and analyzed to assess the accuracy and reliability of the system.Results:In the motion phantom test, the deviation between the actual motion distance of the phantom and the system's recorded measurement was (0.18±0.07) mm. For linear motion analysis along the X, Y, and Z axes on the treatment table, the measurement errors were (0.14±0.08) mm, (0.15±0.09) mm, and (0.16±0.08) mm, respectively. Additionally, the measurement error in the rotational direction of the treatment couch was 0.18°±0.09°. For the rotational direction of the collimator head, the measurement error was 0.11°±0.02°. Conclusion:The system demonstrates good accuracy and stability, and has potential clinical application value.
