To investigate the correlation of apolipoprotein E (ApoE) gene polymorphism and atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (ACI).Methods Polymerase chain reaction-restricted fragments length polymorphism (PCR- RFLP) was used to determine ApoE genotype on 92 cases with ACI (42 cases

Objective To evaluate the difference of myocardium strain between myocadial infarction and ventricular aneurysm (VA) by two-dimensional speckle-tracking imaging in rabbits.Methods 26 healthy New Zealand white rabbits were enrolled in this study,6 were put into the control group and 20 in the experimental group.models of myocardial infarction concomitant with VA were prepared by the ligation of the middle segment of left anterior descending artery and left circumflex artery.At 4 weeks after the procedure,according to the pathological inspect and echocardiography for whether VA formed,the experimental animals were divided into the VA group and the myocadial infarction group.Echocardiography was performed to measure the LV cavity size and cardiac function.Radial strain rate (SrR) and circumferential strain rate(SrC) indexes were measured by 2D-STI software for each animal at the level of apex in left ventricular short-axis view,and then calculated the strain rate decrease percentage in each segment.Results 1)Compared with the control group,SrR-S,SrR-E,SrR A,SrC-S,SrC-E,SrC-A in all segments were reduced significantly in the VA group and the myocadial infarction group (P ＜ 0.05),the VA group was the most significant.2)Compared with the myocadial infarction group,the strain rate decrease percentage of SrR-S,SrR-E,SrR-A,SrC-S,SrC-E,SrC-A in all segment had significant in the VA group.Comparison between the each section,the strain rate decrease percentage of SrR-Santerior wall,SrR-Sateral wall,SrC-Santerior wall,SrC-Slateral wall were the most significant.3)There were the tighter relationship between the strain rate decrease percentage of SrR-Santerior wall,SrC-Santerior wall,SrR-Slateral wall,SrC-Slateral wall and left ventricular ejection fraction (r =0.82,0.72,0.75,0.71,repectively,all P ＜ 0.05).4) The ROC curve analysis showed that when the strain rate decrease percentage was 60％ as the critical point,the strain rate decrease percentage of SrC-Santerior wall,SrC-Slateral wall,SrR-Santerior wall,SrR-Slateral wall had a sensitivity of 83.30 ％,84.40％,83.30％,67.70％％ and a specificity was 73.60％,78.20％％,69.70％,83.30％ for prognosis ventricular aneurysm,repectively.Conclusions After ventricular aneurysm formation,anterior and lateral wall myocardial strain were give priority to the myocardial mechanics reconstruction,thus systolic myocardial strain rate decrease percentage can be important indicator of infarction myocardial developing into ventricular aneurysm.

Recent studies have demonstrated that hyperhomocysteinemia is an independent risk factor for stroke,which may cause vascular endothelial injury by multiple mechanisms,destroy blood coagulation and fibrinolytic systems,and influence on lipid metabolism.Methylenetetra hydrofolate reductase(MTHFR)is a key enzyme of homocysteine metabolic pathway in the human body.If it is insufficient or its activity decreases,it will directly result in the accumula tion of homocysteine in the human body,and callse hyperhomocysteinemia.Although a number of studies have found that MTHFR gene mutation is the main cause of MTHFR insufficient and its activity decrease,the correlation between MTHFR gene mutation and ischemic cerebral vascular disease is quite controversial now.This article reviews the relationship between MTHFR gene polymorphisms and ischemic stroke.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the diagnosis, treatment and surgical approaches of parapharyngeal space tumors. METHOD: This retrospective study consisted of 112 patients with parapharyngeal space tumors underwent surgeries. The data included clinical symptoms and signs, pathological types, imaging examinations, surgical approaches and postoperative complications. RESULT: Computerized tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRD and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) made clear the tumor size, localization and its relation to adjacent structures. The postoperative histopathology varied and showed benign in 98 cases consisting of salivary gland tumors (52 cases), neurogenic tumors(33 cases) and other types (13 cases). During the 3 years follow-up period, local recurrence appeared in 3 patients with salivary pleomorphic adenoma and 1 patient with neurofibromatosis. These recurrent tumor cases were cured with second surgery. In 14 patients with malignant tumors reported, 8 cases survived for 5 years, 2 cases (1 adenoid cystic carcinoma and 1 carcinoma in pleornorphic adenoma) recurred in the two and a half years cured with second surgery affiliated radiation therapy through 3 years follow-up time and the rest were followed up 1 to 3 years without recurrence. Peripheral facial paralysis was observed in 25 patients, and 3 patients experienced hypoglossal nerve palsy. Only 1 patient encountered vagus nerve injury, and 2 patients appeared Horner's syndrome, and 4 patients endured Frey syndrome. Gills leakage was discovered in 3 cases and cavity infection was noted in 1 patient. CONCLUSION CT, MRI and DSA were important in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of parapharyngeal space tumors. The key to successful treatment is knowing the anatomy of the parapharyngeal space, preoperative assessment and appropriate surgical approach.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of the self-retaining laryngeal microsurgical operation in the treatment of Reinke ’ s edema of vocal cords . Methods There were 24 cases of Reinke ’ s edema who were treated with self-retaining laryngoscope mucosal stripping surgery of vocal cords from January 2004 to December 2009 ( traditional group ) , while another group of 32 cases of Reinke ’ s edema were treated with self-retaining laryngoscopic microsurgery lateral submucosal incision micro-flap operation of vocal cords from January 2010 to December 2015 ( laryngeal microsurgery group ) .The two groups were executed with electronic laryngoscopy and subjective voice evaluation GRBAS ( The Speech and Language Institute of Japanese in 1979, G: Grade, R:Roughness, B:Breathness, A:Asthenia, S:Strain) in pre-operation and post-operation (1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks).The wound healing time of vocal cords , hoarseness improved time and voice improvement were retrospectively compared between the two groups . Results The patients in laryngeal microsurgery group had earlier voice hoarse improvement and more rapid mucosal epithelial of vocal cords recovery time in post-operation as compared with the patients in the traditional group [voice improving time, (7.3 ±1.9) d vs. (11.3 ±2.7) d, t=-6.481, P=0.000;mucosal epithelial of vocal cords recovery time , (12.2 ±3.1) d vs.(20.1 ±3.4) d, t=-9.062, P=0.000].The results of pre-operative voice evaluation with GRBAS showed no significant differences between the two groups, but the results of post-operative evaluation of each session (1 week, 3 weeks, 8 weeks) showed that the main data were statistically different.The GRBAS score of laryngeal microsurgery group was lower than that of traditional group in post -operation, especially after 8 weeks (8 weeks after post-operation, G:1.0 ±0.8 vs.1.6 ±0.2, t=-3.584, P=0.000; R:1.0 ±0.9 vs. 1.5 ±0.4, t=-2.536, P=0.014;B:1.0 ±0.6 vs.1.4 ±0.5, t=-2.647, P=0.011).In laryngeal microsurgery group, 24 cases were cured , 5 cases were effective and 3 cases were invalid , contrasting in the traditional group with 11 cases of cured , 7 cases of effective and 6 cases of invalid respectively, with a significant difference (Z=-2.239, P=0.025).No significant difference in effective rate between the two groups [90.6%(29/32) vs.75.0%(18/24),χ2 =1.459, P=0.227]. Conclusion The clinical efficacy of self-retaining laryngoscope microsurgery in the treatment of Reinke ’ s edema of vocal cords is faster and better comparing traditional operation , with a more significant pronunciation quality improvement .

OBJECTIVETo explore the feasibility and safety on lung resection surgery with the combined method of microinjection acupuncture (MIA) and intravenous anesthesia instead of compound traditional acupuncture and drug anesthesia (ADA).

METHODSNinety cases of lung resection surgery were randomized into a general anesthesia group, a MIA group and a ADA group, 30 cases in each one. In the general anesthesia group, before surgery, the intramuscular injection of atropine 0. 5 mg was used; during surgery, the anesthesia induction was followed with intravenous injection of fentanyl citrate, propofol and rocuronium bromide and the dosage was increased accordingly; after surgery, the analgesia pump was applied. In the MIA group, on the basis of general anesthesia, before anesthesia induction, the acupoint catgut embedding was applied to Jiaji (EX-B 2) of T4 , T6 and T, , Feishui (BL 13), Xinshu (BL 15) and Geshu (BL 17) on the affected side and bilateral Quchi (LI 11) and Zusanli (ST 36); after surgery, the analgesia pump was applied. In the ADA group, on the basis of general anesthesia, before! anesthesia induction, electroacupuncture (EA) was applied to Hegu (LI 4), Neiguan (PC 6) , Houxi (SI 3) and Zhigou (TE 6) for 30 min; during surgery, EA and intravenous medication were combined at the same acupoints as those before surgery; after surgery, moxibustion and the analgesia pump were applied in combination for analgesia. In each group, the biological indices were monitored during surgery at 11 time points named T. (before anesthesia I induction), T1 (intubation in general anesthesia induction), T2 (skin incision), T3 (rib exposure in muscular incision) T. (chest open), T, (lung removal), T6 (drainage tube implantation), T7 (chest closure), T (muscular stitching), T, (skin stitching) and T0 (extubation). The actual dosage of anesthetics during surgery and the, dosage of fentanyl citrate in analgesia pump were quantified after surgery. Results (1) In the MIA group and ADA group, the increased dosage of fentanyl citrate was less than that in the general anesthesia group [(1. 23±0. 28) µg . kg-1 . h-1 vs (2. 4±0. 54µg. kg-1 . h-1, (1. 1±0. 38µg . kg-1 . h-1 vs (2. 4±0. 54µg. kg-1 . h-1 , both P<0. 05]. The increased dosage of propofol and rocuronium bromide was not different during surgery among the groups (all P>0. 05). (2) In the MIA group and ADA group, after surgery, the increased dosage of fentanyl citrate was less than that in the general anesthesia group [(11. 0±1. 04)µg/kg vs (15. 4±1. 52µg/kg, (11. 5±1. 38µg/kg vs (15. 4±1. 52µg/kg, both P<0. 05], reducing by 25% in comparison. (3) The differences in heart rate and blood pressure at 11 time points during surgery were not significant among the three groups (all P>0. 05).

CONCLUSIONn The combined method of MIA and intravenous anesthesia significantly reduces the dosage of intravenous anesthetics during and after lung resection surgery as compared with ADA, presenting the similar analgesic effect as simple intravenous medication and the good safety. The combined method of MIA and intravenous anesthesia is much

Objective: To observe the effect of preoperative effect on peri-operative pain in patients following a thoracotomy. Methods: 120 cases following lung-cancer thoracotomy were randomly allocated into four groups, 30 in each group. Cases in group A and B were treated with acupuncture analgesia 3 d before operation; cases in group A and C were treated with acupuncture analgesia after operation; and cases in group D were treated with general anesthesia. The pain management indexes in four groups were all controlled below 3. After that, analgesia-related β-endorphin and stress-related cortisol were observed before and after operation. In addition, the specific doses of postoperative analgesic-Fentanyl in four groups were compared. Results: The comparison of β-endorphin between group A, C and D showed P<0.05 one day before operation, so did group B, C and D 1 day before operation. The intra-group comparison of cortisol between the day of admission and 1 day after extubation and between 1 day before operation and one day after extubation in group A, B and D showed P<0.05, so did group C between the day of admission and 1 day after extubation. In addition, the contents of Fentanyl in postoperative analgesic pump in four groups showed P<0.05 through one-factor analysis of variance, showing a significant difference. Conclusion: Preemptive analgesia could increase the β-endorphin in patients following a thoracotomy and showed remarkable advantage when compared with the conventional postoperative analgesia. It did not cause significant difference regarding stress index cortisol. Acupuncture has no remarkable advantage when compared with operation and extubation for the major immediate stress. Additionally, postoperative acupuncture could be a substitute for the dose of pain killers and the match can be reduced by 20%.
