Objective To analyze the protective effects of heat-shock response on the retinae of the rats after retinal ischemic reperfusion injury.Method Twenty Wistar rats (20 eyes) were divided into 4 groups: intracameral perfusion group (group P), intracameral perfusion after quercetin injection group (group P+Q), intracameral perfusion after heat shock group (group P+H), and in tracameral perfusion after quercetin injection and heat shock group (group P+Q+H ). According to the standard program established by International Society for Clinical Visual Electrophysiology, we recorded the results of the dark-adapted electroretinogram (D-ERG ),oscillatory potentials (OPs),and light-adapted ERG (L-ERG) of the rats with intraocular hypertension after induced by heat shock response. The expressions of HSP 70 of the rats in all groups were observed by Western blotting.Results The expression of HSP 70 of the rats in group P+H was the highest in all groups, but the expressions of HSP70 in group P+Q and P+Q+H were inhibited significantly. The amplitudes of a and b wave of ERG and O2 wave of OPs decreased, and the delitescence of them were delayed significantly in rats after intracameral perfusion. The amplitude of b wave of D-ERG and O2 wave of OPs in group P+H were higher than which in group P. Zero hour after perfusion, the amplitudes of all waves in group P+H increased significantly (Plt;0.05). Twenty-four hours after perfusion, the retinal functional resumption of the rats in group P+H was better than which in group P. In group P+Q and P+Q+H, the delitescences of all waves of ERG and O2 wave of OPs were the longest and the amplitudes were the lowest, and some waves even disappeared.Conclusions The heat-shock response may improve the recovery ability of the retinal cells after injury of ischemic reperfusion.(Chin J Ocul Fundus Dis，2003，19：117-120)
Objective To explore the factors to affect severity of hyperextension injury of the cervical spinal cord (HEICSC). Methods Forty-five patients with HEICSC, 35 males and 10 females, aged 27-67 years old (mean 48.2 years old), were retrospectively analyzed. The disease course was 30 minutes to 16 days. According to modified Frankel grading, there were 6 cases of grade A, 8 cases of grade B, 16 cases of grade C and 15 cases of grade D. Spinal cord injuries (SCI) segments were determined according to SCI plane and high signal change (HSC) in spinal cord on MR images. The whole or large part of HSC segments were supposed to be main injured spinal cord segments (MISCSs) and the staccato or patchy HSC ones were supposed to be common injured spinal cord segments (CISCSs). When the external force acting on head or face suffered was larger, the force produced during high-speed movement or forehead and/or face had severe contused and/or) lacerated wound, the force was defined severe traumatic strength, whereas the reverse was true for sl ight traumatic strength. According to signal magnitude of the cervical discs on T2-weighted MR images, degeneration of cervical discs and cervical vertebras were classified into 5 grades: grade 0-4. Cervical spinal stenosis were graded to 5 grades according to the width of anterior or posterior cerebrospinal fluid layer to spinal cord on T2-weighted MR images and compressed degree of spinal cord on T1-weighted MR images. The influence of traumatic strength, cervical spinal degeneration or cervical spinal stenosis on SCI were explored. Results Among the 45 cases, 12 cases were caused by sl ight traumatic strength, 33 cases were caused by severe one. The cervical spinal cord was injuried more sl ightly and the patients were older in the sl ight traumatic strength cases than in the severe ones (P lt; 0.05). The number of MISCSs were 45 in 40 cases and the 25 segments were located at C3, 4 level. The number of CISCSs were 39 in 21 cases. All the cervical vertebraes of the 45 patients had degenerated. The most were in grade 3 in 22 patients and the severest degenerative segments were mostly located in C5,6 discs in 35 ones. The number of the MISCSs in different degenerative grades of discs was 0 in grade 0, 9 in grade 1, 20 in grade 2, 14 in grade 3, and 2 in grade 4. The ratios of the segment number of injuried spinal cord to the segment number of spinal stenosis in every grade of stenosis were 1/62 in grade 0, 2/11 in grade 1, 27/52 in grade 2, 33/33 in grade 3, 21/22 in grade 4. Conclusion Three main factors including the magnitude of traumatic strength, the degree of instabil ity of cervical vertebrae and the degree of cervical stenosis contribute to development and progress of HEICSC.
ObjectiveTo evaluate the value of individualized preoperative simulation in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS).MethodsThin slice scan data of 39 patients with supine upper abdomen were obtained, three dimensional structures of bone, liver, portal vein, inferior vena cava and hepatic vein in CT scan area were reconstructed in Mimics software. According to the size of interventional instruments, a virtual RUPS-100 puncture kit and an VIATORR stent were established in 3D MAX software. Computer simulations were performed to evaluate the route from the hepatic vein puncture portal vein and stent release position. The coincidence of simulation parameters with actual surgical results was compared.Results① The time of preoperative simulation was controllable. The total simulation time was 70–110 minutes (after summing up the previous experience). Preoperative simulation in daily work would not affect the progress of treatment. ② There were 4 cases of puncturing bifurcation of portal vein, 22 cases of puncturing left branch and 13 cases of puncturing right branch during operation (24 cases of puncturing left branch and 15 cases of puncturing right branch by preoperative simulation plan). The overall coincidence rate was 89.7% (35/39). ③ Preoperative simulations were performed using 8 mm×6 cm/2 cm size VIATORR stents, and the stents used in the actual operation were the same as the simulation results. ④ Preoperative simulation and post-operative retrospective simulation could shortened the teaching and training time and enhanced the understanding of surgical intention and key steps.ConclusionPreoperative simulation based on patient's individualized three-dimensional model and virtual interventional device could guided the actual operation of TIPS more accurately, and had practical value for improving the success rate of operation and training young doctors.
Perioperative management of 58 hypertensive patients suffering from surgical disease is reported. We emphasize that before operation the blood pressure should be adequately controlled, and heart function promoted. It is safer that the diastolic pressure is controlled under 14 kPa before operation. During operation we strictly observe the change of the blood pressure and manage it in time. Analgesic and antihypertensive agents are used after operation.
Anatomical venous distribution around the lower esophagus, gastric cardia and fundus in 100 adult cadavers had been observed. The results showed that the occurrence rate of the left gastric and the right gastric veins were 96% and 92% respectively. Venous distribution in the lesser curvature of the stomach can be classified into five types: the left gastric vein type, the right gastric vein type,the left gastric vein dominant type, the right gastric vein dominant type, and the balance type (of the left and the right gastric veins). The retrogastric veins were found in 73.6% of 100 cadavers showed portacaval anastomoses. From March 1976 to March 1992, we had treated with transthoracic interruption of portoazygous circulation, 52 cases of portal hypertension resulting in bleeding du to rupture of esophageal and venriculi fundus varices ( male 43, female 9). Among the 41 emergency operations, 2 cases died (4.9%), and bleedings were controlled by emergency surgery in 92.6% of cases. 44 of the 50 cases (88%) were followed up. The recurrence of bleeding occured in 5 cases, with a long-term bleeding rate of 11.4%. The authors suggest that anatomical factors might be the reason of inadequacy of portaoazygous interruption, and claim the advantages of transthoracic interruption of portoazygous circulation.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of blood pressure and coronary artery impairment in patients with essential hypertension (EH) combining coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods A total of 358 patients with EH combining CHD and other 144 patients with CHD were measured with ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM), and the parameters of ambulatory blood pressure were analyzed. All the patients underwent coronary angiography. The severity of coronary artery stenosis was evaluated in accordance with the number of impaired arteries. Results Compared to the patients with simplex CHD, those with EH combining CHD had much heavier artery stenosis and more diffuse lesions, with significant differences (χ2=6.03, P=0.019). The 24h systolic blood pressure (SBP), day SBP, night SBP, 24h pulse pressure (PP), day PP and night PP were higher in the patients with EH combining CHD compared to those of the patients with simplex CHD (The t values were 2.580, 2.045, 2.675, 2.037, 2.601, and 1.995, respectively, while the P values were 0.015, 0.037, 0.009, 0.041, 0.017, and 0.047, respectively). Conclusion Compared to the patients with simplex CHD, the patients with EH combining CHD suffer from much severe coronary artery impairment, so a good controlling of blood pressure is advisable to improve the coronary artery impairment for the patients with EH combining CHD.
【Abstract】ObjectiveTo inquire the therapeutic effect of retroperitoneal splenic autotransplantation combined with lower esophageal transection in the treatment of hepatic cirrhosis induced portal hypertension with randomized comparasion.MethodsThe hepatic cirrhosis induced portal hypertension patients with Child A or B grade of liver function were randomly divided into splenic autotransplantation group and splenectomy group.In the splenic autotransplantation group, retroperitoneal transplantation of pedicled autosplenic tissue combined with modified lower esophageal transection was performed,while in the splenectomy group, splenectomy combined with modified lower esophageal transection was conducted.The general conduction, splenic scanning, liver function, serum tuftsin and IgM levels in patients were observed 2 to 6 months after operation, and compared with those before operation. ResultsOne patient died in the splenectomy group on the 6th postoperative day, rebleeding occurred in one case of the splenic autotransplantation group. The levels of tuftsin and IgM in splenic autotransplantation group were higher than those of splenectomy group after operation, with significant difference (P＜0.01). The liver function between two groups showed no difference (Pgt;0.05).ConclusionSpleen autografts could maintain the basic immune function of spleen and survive for a long time.
ObjectiveTo investigate on the antihypertensive therapy for hypertension patients in Wuhou District communities in Chengdu city and assess whether they have complied with the hypertension treatment guidelines. MethodsIn a survey of 1 539 community people, we selected 337 hypertensive patients who had detailed high blood pressure medication records. ResultsThe main characteristics of community hypertension treatment included higher proportions of single-drug therapy (70.3%), and traditional compound preparation (13.9%). Calcium channel blockers (CCB) and beta blockers were most commonly used in the dual step-down scheme (39.7%), while CCB, angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors and beta blockers were mostly used in step-down triple combination. The control rate was 46.7% after antihypertensive drug treatment in the community. ConclusionIt is necessary to carry out hypertension education, strengthen the training of doctors at the basic level with hypertension prevention and control guidelines to improve the rates of treatment and control of hypertension.
ObjectiveTo investigate the significance of the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in portal vein thrombosis after operation in patients with portal hypertension.MethodsThe serum of 146 patients with portal hypertension treated in Dongfeng Hospital Affiliated to Hubei Medicial College from January 2014 to December 2018 and the surgically removed splenic vein and spleen specimens were collected. The serum VEGF level was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the expressions of VEGF in splenic vein and spleen tissues were detected by immunohistochemistry. According to whether portal vein thrombosis was formed after operation, the patients were divided into thrombosis group and non-thrombosis group, and the differences between the groups were compared.ResultsThe serum VEGF level in the thrombosis group was significantly higher than that in the non-thrombosis group (P<0.05). In splenic vein wall and spleen tissues, VEGF staining indexes in the thrombosis group were significantly higher than those in the non-thrombosis group (P<0.05).ConclusionsPostoperative portal vein thrombosis in patients with portal hypertension may be related to the serum VEGF level. The high expressions of VEGF in splenic vein wall and spleen suggest that VEGF may participate in the formation process of portal vein thrombosis.
