Objective:To compare the effects of different doses of atorvastatin on blood lipid and endothelial function in patients with hypertension and carotid plaque.Methods:Ninety-two patients with hypertension and carotid plaque who received treatment from June 2019 to June 2020 were included in this study. They were assigned to receive treatment with either atorvastatin 20 mg (control group, n = 46) or atorvastatin 40 mg (study group, n = 46) for 3 months. Blood lipid level and endothelial function were compared between the two groups. Results:There were no significant differences in sex, age, course of disease, body mass index (BMI) and carotid plaque grading between the two groups (all P > 0.05). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in serum levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) between two groups (all P > 0.05). After treatment, serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in each group were significantly decreased compared with before treatment [study group: TC: (5.8 ± 2.3) mmol/L vs. (3.5 ± 1.3) mmol/L, t = 5.904; TG: (2.5 ± 0.8) mmol/L vs. (1.2 ± 0.5) mmol/L, t = 9.346; LDL-C: (5.0 ± 0.4) mmol/L vs. (3.3 ± 0.4) mmol/L, t = 20.382; control group: TC: (5.9 ± 1.8) mmol/L vs. (4.5 ± 1.5) mmol/L, t = 4.052; TG: (2.6 ± 0.3) mmol/L vs. (1.8 ± 0.7) mmol/L, t = 7.125; LDL-C: (4.9 ± 0.5) mmol/L vs. (4.2 ± 0.5) mmol/L, t = 6.714, all P < 0.01). After treatment, serum level of HDL-C in each group was significantly increased compared with before treatment [study group: (0.8 ± 0.5) mmol/L vs. (1.5 ± 0.3) mmol/L, t = 8.142; control group: (0.8 ± 0.4) mmol/L vs. (1.3 ± 0.2) mmol/ L, t = 7.583, both P < 0.01]. After treatment, serum levels of TC, TG and LDL-C in the study group were significantly lower than those in the control group ( tTC = 3.417, tTG = 4.731, tLDL-C = 9.533, all P < 0.01). After treatment, serum level of HDL-C in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( tHDL-C = 3.762, P < 0.01). Before treatment, there were no significant differences in endothelium-dependent (flow mediated dilation, FMD) and endothelium-independent diastolic function (nitroglycerin- mediated dilatation, NMD) between the two groups (both P > 0.05). After treatment, FMD in each group was significantly enhanced compared with before treatment [study group: (7.5 ± 1.8) % vs. (10.9 ± 2.5) %, t = 7.486; control group: (7.7 ± 1.5) % vs. (8.9 ± 2.2) %, t = 3.057; both P < 0.05]. After treatment, FMD in the study group was significantly higher than that in the control group ( t = 4.073, P < 0.01). There was no significant difference in NMD between before and after treatment in the control group. After treatment, NMD in the study group was significantly increased compared with before treatment [(12.5 ± 2.3) % vs. (13.6 ± 2.5) %, t = 2.196, P = 0.031]. Conclusion:Atorvastatin 40 mg once a day can effectively regulate blood lipid level and improve endothelial function in patients with hypertension and carotid plaque, which exhibits superior effects to atorvastatin 20 mg once a day.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of surgical repair for non-circumferential defect of bile duct in Mirizzi syndrome.Method The clinical data of 32 patients with Mirizzi syndrome with non-circumferential defect of bile duct were repaired using the patient's own tissues such as gallbladder pedicle flap,umbilical venous flap and omental flap.Results All the patients were operated success fully.There was no operative mortality.The defects in the bile duct were repaired using gallbladder pedicle flap in 25 patients,umbilical venous flap in 5 patients and omental flap in 2 patients.There were 2 patients who developed postoperative complications.There was one postoperative bile leakage in a patient who was repaired using an umbilical venous flap.The other complication was residual bile duct stones.The patient with postoperative bile leakage was drained through a drainage tube which was removed after 7 days.The residual bile duct stones were removed by endoscopy through a T-tube sinus after 9 months.All patients were confirmed by T-tube cholangiography after 9 to 12 months to have no stones,bile duct stenosis or any other abnormalities.The T-tube was then removed.All patients were followed -up for 1 to 5 years.All patients had no cholangitis,abdominal pain,jaundice or fever.Conclusions Using the patients' own tissues such as gallbladder pedicle flap,umbilical venous flap and omental flap to surgical repair the defect in the bile duct of patients with Mirizzi syndrome was effective.This surgical treatment is a good choice.

Objective To study the results of laparoscopic approach in the treatment ot gallbladder and common bile duct stones.Method The authors reviewed data of 60 patients with gallbladder and bile duct stones treated laparoscopically.Results All the 60 patients treated with laparoscopic cholecystectomy and laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration (LcTDE) were successful.There were 1 bile duct stone in 32 patients,and 2 to 6 bile duct stones in 28 patients.The operation time was (38.7±15.1) min and the hospitalization time was (5.5±2.1) days.One patient developed biliary fistula postoperatively which healed after 7 days of conservative treatment.One patient had bile duct residual stone which was treated by ERCP.The remaining patients were well.Conclusion Laparoscopic transcystic common bile duct exploration using a mini incision and primary suturing of the bile duct was simple,safe and efficacious.

Objective To analyze the complications, treatments and prognosis of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation. Methods Forty cases of simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation performed between Dec. 1999 and Jan. 2010 in our center were retrospectively analyzed. Results Regarding surgical complications, 4 cases had severe hematuria after operation,which needed clinical intervention, including 1 patient receiving catheterization in duodenum to stop bleeding. Two patients were treated with continuous bladder irrigation, and the remaining one received surgical haemostasis because of donor's duodenum and bladder anastomotic artery hemorrhage.Abdominal hemorrhage occurred in 4 patients, including pancreatic hemorrhage in 3 cases and duodenal muscularis hemorrhage in one case. All of them received surgical treatment for hemostasis.Abdominal infection occurred in 8 cases: one died of multiple organ failure, 2 cases were cured after drainage of abscess, 2 cases underwent surgical removal of abscess, and 3 cases were cured after antibiotic therapy. In one case of postoperative anastomotic leakage, pancreas was resected. Four cases of postoperative ileus were cured by continuous clysis with traditional Chinese medicine. Seven cases had pulmonary bacterial infections, including one cases associated with fungal infection. They were cured by the anti-infective treatment. Other complication included poor healing in 5 cases and urinary infection in 2 cases. After combined simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation, 10 patients received reoperation because of surgical complications (14 operations). The re-operation rate was 25 %, including 2 patients (4 operations) for hematuria, 4 patients for abdominal hemorrhage, 2 patients (3 operations) for abdominal infection, 1 patient for pancreatic venous thrombosis, 1 patient for anastomotic leakage, and 1 patient for pancreatic fistula. Conclusion Although simultaneous pancreas-kidney transplantation provides a successful and effective treatment for diabetics with endstage renal disease, surgical complication is still affecting the pancreas and kidney grafts after transplantation.

In order to investigate the effect of deep brain stimulation on diseases such as epilepsy, we developed a closed-loop electrical stimulation system using LabVIEW virtual instrument environment and NI data acquisition card. The system was used to detect electrical signals of epileptic seizures automatically and to generate electrical stimuli. We designed a novel automatic detection algorithm of epileptic seizures by combining three features of field potentials: the amplitude, slope and coastline index. Experimental results of rat epileptic model in the hippocampal region showed that the system was able to detect epileptic seizures with an accuracy rate 91.3% and false rate 8.0%. Furthermore, the on-line high frequency electrical stimuli showed a suppression effect on seizures. In addition, the system was adaptive and flexible with multiple work modes, such as automatic and manual modes. Moreover, the simple time-domain algorithm of seizure detection guaranteed the real-time feature of the system and provided an easy-to-use equipment for the experiment researches of epilepsy control by electrical stimulation.
