Objective This pre-DIC rat models were constructed by injecting LPS in order to reveal the relationship and significance among tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI),platelet, fibrinogen, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time. Methods Enzyme-labeled immunosorbent assay was used to detect blood plasma TFPI in pre-DIC state rats(n=16),DIC state rats(n=8)and health rats(n=8).Platelet, fibrinogen, prothrombin time and activated partial thromboplastin time in the same rat were detected. Results TFPI increased first(pre-DIC state)and then decreased(DIC state)in the blood plasma of rata, but the levels of TFPI were always higher than that in the normal state. Conclusions TFPI is more sensitive and accurate to monitor the pro-DIC state than routine examination, which is very useful in the early diagnosis of pre-DIC state.

Objective To evaluate clinical curative effect of levosimendan therapy on patients with refractory heart failure.Methods A total of 84 patients with refractory heart failure were randomly and equally divided into le-vosimendan group and routine treatment group.Both groups received routine antiheart failure medication,levosimendan group received levosimendan therapy while routine treatment received milrinone injection therapy additionally.Changes of left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF)and plasma level of N terminal pro type B natriuretic peptide(NT -proB-NP)were compared between two groups before and after treatment.Results Compared with routine treatment group, there were significant increase in total effective rate of LVEF[(0.36 ±0.18)% vs.(0.42 ±0.36)%],and in NT -proBNP[(975.14 ±247.01)ng/mL vs.(832.14 ±224.78)ng/mL].The effect before and after treatment of levosi-mendan group were more obviously (NT -proBNP:t =2.3 -230.2,P <0.02;LVEF:t =2.29 -215.2,P <0.01). Conclusion Levosimendan can significantly improve heart function,decrease NT -proBNP level in patients with re-fractory heart failure.

Objective To study glucose metabolism in patients with liver cirrhosis and to explore the relationship between glucose and liver function.Methods 164 liver cirrhosis patients with abnormal glucose metabolism were divided into A,B and C groups according to Child-Turcotte-Pugh(CTP)classification system.Glucose metabolic disorder and relation between blood sugar level and liver function were observed and analyzed.Results We divided the patients into three subgroups according to their blood sugar levels:hypoglycemia group,impaired fasting glucose group and diabetes mellitus group.Patients of Grade C were with the highest incidence of hypoglycemia,with a P value P

Objective To investigate the complications of thyroid arterial embolization and their prevention and treatment.Methods 61 cases of thyroid disorders received the therapy of thyroid arterial embolization were retrospectively studied. The complications of arterial embolization during or after the procedure were analyzed. How to prevent and deal with these complications were discussed. Results Sensitivity to contrast media occurred in 1 case and surgical arterial injury in 2. After embolization thyroid storm occurred in 1 patient and all other complications including headache(23 cases), toothache(11 cases), neckache(13 cases), hoarseness(37 cases) were caused by non target arterial embolization with the most serious one of cerebral infarction(1 case) and another eyelid ptosis (1 case). The cerebral infarct one was treated with some vasodilating drugs and anti coagulant, all others were given anti symptomatics or no special treatment.Conclusions Proper treatment should be ready during thyroid arterial embolization and given in time with occurance of complications.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the preservation of the structure and function of the trachea and larynx, the management of laryngotracheal defect when trachea and larynx was involved. METHOD: To review the management and clinical results of 13 cases of thyroid papillary carcinoma with larynx and trachea involvement, the preservation of laryngotracheal structure and relative defect reconstruction of our department from 2007-2014. Those patients being performed total laryngectomy was excluded. 3 males and 10 females, aged from 46 to 67 years old with median age of 53 were included. Among them 8 cases were recurrent. The extent of the tumor foci was estimated with the help of computed tomography and laryngofiberoscope before surgery. Selective neck dissection, total thyroidectomy and related laryngotracheal resection was performed for the first time operation patient, while selective neck dissection, recurrent foci and related larynx and trachea resection was performed for those recurrent patients. Three kinds of modalities were applied to manage the laryngotracheal defect including to reconstruct with pedicled sternocleidomastoid clavicular periosteocutaneous flap, pedicled trapizius muscular flap and to preserve the remaining larynx and trachea and perform a stoma of larynx and trachea which repaired by a second-stage procedure. The patients were followed-up from half an year to 3 years. RESULT: Ten patients out of 13 decannulated while another 3 cases, 2 of which were performed local flap to reduce the stoma, wore tracheal tubes all time. CONCLUSION Either flap transfer or laryngotracheal stoma before second stage repair might preserve partial laryngotacheal anatomy and function in selected cases thus improve the life quality of the patients.

Objective To analyze mutations of the STAT3 gene in a patient with hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES).Methods Clinical data were collected and blood samples were obtained from a 14-year-old patient with hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) and her parents.Genomic DNA was extracted and subjected to PCR for the amplification of the entire encoding and splice sites of the STAT3 gene followed by bidirectional sequencing.Meanwhile,amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis was carried out.Results A heterozygous missense mutation A1843G,which caused a K615E substitution,was found in exon 19 encoding the SH2 domain of the STAT3 gene in the patient,but not in either of her parents.The result of amplified ribosomal DNA restriction analysis was consistent with the findings mentioned above.Conclusion The novel K615E missense mutation in the STAT3 gene may contribute to the development of HIES.

Abstract? AIM: To analyze the ocular manifestations of meningiomas in the trigone of the lateral ventricle, discuss the relevant factors of visual impairment in these patients and things need attention clinically.?METHODS:Retrospectively study on the clinical data of 90 eyes in 45 patients diagnosed of trigonal meningiomas treated at Beijing Tian Tan Hospital from October 2011 to October 2015.Preoperative examinations including visual acuity, optic disc findings, visual field, size of tumors and other change in MRI were analyzed.?RESULTS: Patients'age was 12-68 years old ( mean 41.7 ±13.7 years ). Male/female ratio was 1 ∶4.6. Decreased visual acuity occurred in 18 eyes.Optic disc edema was found in 24 eyes and optic disc pale in 6 eyes. Fourty -seven eyes had visual field defect, mostly homonymous hemianopia or defect. The maximum diameter of tumors was 2.1-9.6cm (4.8±1.7cm).Range of tumor volume was 3.02-193.2cm3(48.3±47.8cm3).A positive correlation of preoperative visual field defect was found with tumor volume, tumor maximum diameter, and brain midline shift respectively. While the preoperative visual field defect was not found any correlation with age, gender, course, and the enlargement of the ventricle and the edema of the tissue around the tumors. After Mann-Whitney U test, the differences on tumor volume, the maximum diameter of tumors, and brain midline shift between the two groups were significant.? CONCLUSION: Patients with trigonal meningiomas often have ocular signs and symptoms.The major reason of visual field defect is the damage of optic radiation around the tumor.The specific position of injured optic radiation determines the type and extent of visual field defect.Both ophthalmologist and neurosurgeon should pay attention to tumors nearby posterior visual pathway. Doing neurophthalmology examinations for these patients and realizing the position between the tumor and posterior visual pathway will be helpful and necessary in surgical planning.
