ObjectiveTo investigate the value of cavity isolation method on left colorectal obstruction in the anastomosis isolation. Methods60 patients with left colorectal obstruction were randomly divided into two groups:ileostomy group and cavity isolation method group,30 patients for each. After left colon resection was completed, ileostomy anastomosis group used the traditional method for colorectal anastomosis, and protected the anastomosis by ileostomy. Cavity isolation method group protected the anastomosis by cavity isolation method. Then the indexes in the two groups,such as anastomotic height, operation time, anal exhaust time,incidence of anastomotic leakage and its complications,hospitalization time, medical cost and so on were analyzed. Results Longer postoperative hospital stay (9.3 + 4.2) d were observed in ileostomy group than those ( 15.6 + 3.3 ) d ( P ＜ 0.05 ). Earlier time of the first flatusand oral intake(87.2 ± 6.3 ) h, ( 91.2 ± 7.2 ) h were observed in ileostomy group than those ( 101.8 + 7.5 ) h,( 117.3 ± 8.6) h in cavity isolation method group ( all P ＜ 0.05 ). ConclusionThe anastomosis isolation was a safe and feasible new technology that could reduce the complications caused by anastomotic leakage, and it had the advantages of short hospital stay, low cost,less suffering ect.

Base on the data of blood pressure, plasma lipid, Glu and UA by physical test, Support Vector Machine (SVM) was applied to identify coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients and non-CHD individuals in south China population for guide of further prevention and treatment of the disease. Firstly, the SVM classifier was built using radial basis kernel function, liner kernel function and polynomial kernel function, respectively. Secondly, the SVM penalty factor C and kernel parameter sigma were optimized by particle swarm optimization (PSO) and then employed to diagnose and predict the CHD. By comparison with those from artificial neural network with the back propagation (BP) model, linear discriminant analysis, logistic regression method and non-optimized SVM, the overall results of our calculation demonstrated that the classification performance of optimized RBF-SVM model could be superior to other classifier algorithm with higher accuracy rate, sensitivity and specificity, which were 94.51%, 92.31% and 96.67%, respectively. So, it is well concluded that SVM could be used as a valid method for assisting diagnosis of CHD.

Objective To examine clinical significance and relativity of heart-type fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods Ser-um concentrations of H-FABP and hs-CRP were measured in 60 patients with chronic heart failure and 30 control subjects. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was examined by Doppler echocardio graphic in all subjects. Re-sults Serum concentrations of H-FABP and hs-CRP were higher in patients with chronic heart failure than in con-trol subjects[(6.11±1.49)μg/L vs (4.24±1.40)μg/L,and (12.77±3.65)mg/L vs(4.85±1.35) mg/L,t=5.746 and 7.543,P<0.01] but LVEF was lower in patients with chronic heart failure than in control subjects [(42.13±6.55) % vs (61.50±3.89) %,t=-14.902,P<0.01]. In CHF subgroups,H-FABP and hs-CRP lev-el increased with advancing NYHA class (F=26.288 and 351.784,P<0.01) but LVEF decreased (F=252.834,P<0.01). The serum H-FABP concentrations had a positive correlation with serum hs-CRP concentrations (r=0.801,P<0.01),and a negative correlation with LVEF (r=-0.718,P<0.01) ;serum hs-CRP concentrations had a negative correlation with LVEF(r=-0.881,P<0.01). Conclusion Serum H-FABP and hs-CRP levels are in-creased with the worsening of CHF. H-FABP and hs-CRP level are pnsitiviely related. The quantitative determination of serum concentrations of H-FABP and hs-CRP is valuable for risk stratification in patients with chronic heart fail-ure.

Objective To evaluate the effect of off-pump coronary endarterectomy (CE) plus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (off-pump CABG) on patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) combined with diffuse distal atherosclerosis. Methods From October 2006 to August 2009,65 CTO patients with 176 angiographically confirmed vascular stenosis or occlusive lesions, 70 of which were complete occlusion, underwent off-pump CABG. During the operation, diffuse intimal thickening distal to occlusive lesion was found, and blood flow of the bridges was unfavorable.Results Therefore endarterectomy was performed, followed by CABG. The blood flow in the bridges were 2-10 ml/min versus 14-37 ml/min before versus after endarterectomy. Pulsatility index (PI) was 5.1-15.6 versus less than 5 before versus after endarterectomy. Left ventricular ejection fraction was also improved significantly [before operation: (0.47±0.12)%, after operation: (0. 52±0.15)%, t=2.17, P＜0.05]. Peri-operative myocardial infarction occurred in 2 cases, but without significant cardiac homodynamic changes. And 23 patients underwent coronary angiography to evaluate graft patency 3-18 months after operation, all of them had favorable blood flow. Conclusions It is feasible to perform off-pump CABG plus coronary endarterectomy for patients of chronic coronary total occlusion combined with diffuse distal atherosclerosis. This treatment is safe and effective.

Objective To investigate the effect and mechanism of the formation of intrauterine adhesion (IUA) at different dose of estrogen. Methods Thirty-three New Zealand female rabbits were randomly divided into low estrogen group, normal physiological estrogen group, moderate estrogen group and high estrogen group. Animals of the low, moderate and high groups were ovariectomized (OVX) while normal group underwent sham operation. The moderate and high group animals received 0. 5 mg or 1.0 mg estradiol benzoate after OVX twice a week respectively. Two weeks later, all animals received curettage under direct vision. Serum was collected regularly to determine levels of estradiol (E2), transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF). Two weeks after curettage, we cut open cavity to collected endometrium for HE and Masson staining to score extent of endometrial fibrosis and IUA.Results The score of extent of endometrial fibrosis in high group (6. 1 ± 1.5) was higher than those in low estrogen group, normal estrogen group, moderate estrogen group (2. 7 ± 2. 1, 1.2 ± 1.8, 2. 7 ± 2. 0; all P <0. 05). The score of extent of IUA in high group (4. 0 ±2. 5) was higher than that in any other groups (0. 3 ± 0. 8, 1.0 ± 1.6, 1.7 ± 1.9; all P < 0. 05). The levels of TGF-β1 and bFGF was correlated with the level of E2 positively (P < 0. 01) and they had positive relationship with extent of endometrial fibrosis and IUA (P <0. 05). Conclusion High estrogen could accelerate endometrial fibrosis and IUA by promoting expression of TGF-β1, bFGF.

Objective To evaluate plasma natriuretic peptide brain (BNP) levels in elderly male patients with type 2 diabetes and primary osteoporosis.Methods A total of 122 elderly male patients with type 2 diabetes were divided into 3 groups according to bone mineral density(BMD):normal group (41 cases),osteopenia group (40 cases) and osteoporosis group (41 cases),and another 33 age matched healthy subjects as control group.Plasma BNP levels were determined by ELISA.Results Plasma BNP levels in osteoporosis group [(1.95 ± 0.49) pmol/L] and osteopenia group [(1.64±0.48) pmol/L] were significantly elevated compared with that in normal group [(1.32±0.38) pmol/L] and control group [(1.26±0.39) pmol/L] (all P＜0.01).There was a statistical difference between osteoporosis group and osteopenia group (t=3.539,P＜0.05),and also between normal group and control group (t=2.726,P＜0.05).Plasma BNP levels had negative correlation with BMD of 2na-4th lumbar vertebra (r=-0.366) and femoral neck (r=-0.375),body mass index (r=-0.288) and estrodiol (E2) (r=-0.352) (all P＜0.05); while had a positive correlation with parathyroid hormone (PTH) (r=0.353,P＜0.05).Conclusions With BMD declining,plasma BNP levels are elevated in elderly male type 2 diabetes,which may be related to the compensatory increase in PTH and the decrease in estradiol.

Objective To investigate the impact of carotid atherosclerotic plaque on short-term outcomes of cardioembolic stroke due to non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF).Methods A total of 288 patients with acute cerebral embolism due to NVAF were recruited in this study.All patients underwent carotid ultrasonography screening to estimate carotid intima-medium thickness (IMT) and atherosclerotic plaque.The short-term outcomes were assessed.The correlation between carotid atherosclerotic plaque and short-term outcomes of cardioembolic stroke due to NVAF were determined by partial correlation analysis.Results Among the 288 patients,carotid atherosclerosis occurred in 202 cases (70.1％) of the patients,poor outcomes in 113 cases (39.1％),worsening neurological function in 43 cases(14.9％),and stroke recurrence in 24 cases(8.3％).Carotid atherosclerosis plaque was positively associated with neurological worsening (r =0.247,P =0.000) and poor outcomes (r=0.139,P=0.018).The use of aspirin was negatively correlated with both neurological worsening (r=-0.235,P=0.000) and recurrence of stroke (r=-0.177,P=0.003).The use of statin was negatively correlated with recurrence of stroke (r =-0.223,P =0.000),neurological worsening (r=-0.147,P=0.013) and poor outcomes (r=-0.286,P=0.000).Conclusions Carotid atherosclerotic plaque is an independent predictive factor for poor short-term outcomes of cardioembolic stroke due to NVAF,and the aggressive management for carotid plaque can improve the poor short-term outcomes.
