Objective To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment for cholecystolithiasis with billiary-cardiac syndrome(BCS). Methods The clinical data of 149 cholecystolithiasis patients with BCS were retrospectively analysed. Results The incidence of BCS in cholecystolithiasis was 39.4%(149/378).All the 149 patients underwent cholecystectomy.No severe complications or death occurred in this series. Three months after operation, 123(82.6%) cases of BCS were followed up. Of them, ECG returned to normal and the symptoms disappeared in 102 cases(82.9%);ECG had no obvious change,but the symptoms improved in 15 cases(12.2%). Conclusions Cholecystectomy is the only effective method for treating cholecystolithiasis with BCS. For patients with asymtomatic cholecystolithiasis,if the patients cardiac function can tolerate operation,a cholecystectomy should also be done.

AIM: To explore the feasibility of culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC ) on acellular corneal stroma and performing the posterior lamellar endothelial keratoplasty ( PLEK ) treating corneal endothelial decompensation.
METHODS: Thirty New-Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups randomly, 10 rabbits for experimental group, 10 for stroma group and 10 for control group. Corneal endothelial cells were removed to establish animal model of corneal endothelial failure. PLEK was performed on the rabbits of experimental group and stroma group, and nothing was transplantated onto the rabbits of control group with the deep layer excised only. Postoperative observation was taken for 3mo. The degree of corneal edema and central corneal thickness were recorded for statistical analysis.
RESULTS:Corneas in experimental group were relieved in edema obviously compared with that in stroma group and the control group, and showed increased transparency 7d after the operation. The average density of endothelial cells was 2 026. 4±129. 3cells/mm2 , and average central corneal thickness was 505. 2±25. 4μm in experimental group, while 1 535. 6±114. 5μm in stroma group and 1 493. 5±70. 2μm in control group 3mo after operation.
CONCLUSION:We achieved preliminary success in our study that culturing HUVEC on acellular corneal stroma and performing PLEK for corneal endothelial decompensation. HUVEC transplanted could survive in vivo, and have normal biological function of keeping cornea transparent. This study provides a new idea and a new way clinically for the treatment of corneal endothelial diseases.

Objective: To investigate the clinical efficacy of remissive stage-reinforcing and acute stage-reducing acupuncture for treating apoplectic myospasm. Methods: Sixty patients with apoplectic hemiplegia were randomly divided into a treatment group of 30 cases and a control group of 30 cases. The treatment group was treated by remissive stage-reinforcing and acute stage-reducing acupuncture and the control group by modern rehabilitation training. Before and after treatment, the degree of spasm, the level of motor function and ability for daily life were evaluated by modified Ashwordth spasm grading, Brunnstrom grading and Barthel index now often used in the rehabilitation field. Results: Remissive stage-reinforcing and acute stage-reducingacupuncture was superior to modern rehabilitation training in relieving apoplectic myospasm. Conclusion: Remissive stage-reinforcing and acute stage-reducingacupuncture has a unique advantage in relieving spasm.

Objective To research the risk factors of new-onset atrial fibrillation (AF) during hospitalization in patients with acute myocardial infarction.Methods Five hundred and one patients first diagnosed with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction who accepted primary coronary intervention from January 2012 to May 2014 in the Second Hospital of Tianjin Medical University were selected.These patients were divided into non-AF group and new-onset AF group depending on whether happened new-onset AF during hospitalization.Data of the patients in acute myocardial infarction complicated with new-onset atrial fibrillation were collected.Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to determine the predictors of new-onset AF.Results AF occurred in 49 cases of the 501 (9.8%) patients diagnosed as acute myocardial infarction.Logistic regression analysis showed that admission heart rate(OR =1.019,95%CI:1.004-1.034,P =0.012),left atrial diameter (OR =1.086,95% CI:1.021-1.156,P =0.009),previous stroke (OR =2.060,95% CI:1.029-4.123,P =0.041) were independent risk factors for new-onset AF in acute myocardial infarction.Use of β-blockers before coronary intervention treatment can reduce the risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation(OR=0.222,95%CI:0.064-0.768,P=0.017).Conclusion Admission heart rate and left atrial diameter are independent predictors of new-onset atrial fibrillation,and β-blockers in early stage can effectively reduce the incidence of atrial fibrillation.

Objective To investigate the relationship of the nutritional status with liver function and clinical outcomes of liver cancer patients treated with surgery.Methods Altogether 112 hospitalized patients undergoing surgical treatments for liver cancer were enrolled from October 2011 to October 2013.Their general clinical data were collected,including creatinine-height index (CHI),arm circumference,grip strenghth,albumin,prealbumin,and transferrin.The nutritional status was assessed using Patient-Generated Subjective Global Assessment (PG-SGA).The liver function was assessed with Child-Pugh classification.Postoperative infectious complications and the hospital stays were recorded to assess the clinical outcomes.The correlation between nutritional status and liver function,and that between nutritional status and clinical outcomes were analyzed.Results Among the 112 patients,70 (62.5%) were in normal nutritional status,34 (30.4%) were with moderate malnutrition,and 8 (7.1%) were with severe malnutrition according to PG-SGA scores.PG-SGA assessment showed strong consistence with CHI nutritional assessment (κ =0.760,P =0.000),and moderate consistence with arm circumference assessment (κ =0.564,P =0.000),and grip strength assessment (κ =0.523,P =0.000).The live function classified by Child-Pugh was found highly correlated with PG-SGA assessment (rs =0.829,P =0.000).Postoperative infectious complications and hospital stays were both positively correlated with PG-SGA assessment (r =0.349,P =0.000 ; r =0.624,P =0.000).Conclusions PD-SGA combining with CHI can be used for the nutritional status assessment of liver cancer patients undergoing surgical treatments.The nutritional status of the patients has positive correlation with live function,infectious complications,and postoperative hospital stays.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of three common susceptive gene retared hearing loss in the patients with the congenital deafness in Liuzhou.Methods 161 patients with congenital hearing loss were diagnosed with audiologic evolutions,including newborns and outpatients.The blood samples of all patients were taken for the extraction of DNA which was amplified by PCR.The common mutationsl hot spots of the mitochondrial DNA 12SrRNA,GJB2 and SLC26A4 were examined by restricted enzyme and directed sequencing.Results 1 case(0.62%)was found to carry mitoehondrial DNA 12SrRNA A1555G and 4 patients(2.48%)carried heterozygotes or homozygotes pathologic mutations of GJB2.10 patients(6.21%)were heterozygous carriers with pathologic mutations,IVS7-2 A>G,in the SLC26A4 gene.The detection rate of GJB2,mitochondrial DNA A1555G and SLC26A4 mutations in 161 patients were 9.31%.Conclusion The patients with congenital hearing loss distributed different minority groups in liuzhou zone.The mutational frequencies of the three common gene related hearing loss in the patients of Liuzhou were noticeably lower than the data reported in other regions in China.The gene screening for deafness was very important for early diagnosis and treatment.

Only by dressing the prosthesis can they play their compensatory functions for the amputees.The effectiveness of the compensatory is closely related to the condition of the stumps.Because of the complications,it is impossible to dress prosthesis to some stumps.This paper is a studying discussion on the rehabilitation of the non ideal stumps impairing prosthesis dressing,which of the 81 cases among the 164 amputees hospitalized in China Rehabilitation Research Center during the last 8 years.The paper advances the conception of the non ideal stumps impairing prosthesis dressing;the categories of non ideal stumps and their impairment to the prosthesis dressing and the principle and methods of the rehabilitation and the improvement of the making of the prosthesis and the method of the operations. To improve the conditions of the non ideal stumps,a good and comfortable prosthesis will be dressed.The compensatory functions will be satisfactorily played.
