AIM To assess the predictive value of baseline parameters of ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) for angle widening after prophylactic laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in patients with primary angle-closure suspect (PACS). METHODS Angle-opening distance (AOD), trabecular iris angle (TIA), iris thickness, trabecular-ciliary process angle, and trabecular-ciliary process distance were measured using UBM performed before and two weeks after LPI. Iris convexity (IC), iris insertion, angulation, and ciliary body (CB) size and position were graded. Uni- and multivariate regression analyses were used to determine factors predicting the change in AOD (ΔAOD500, calculated as an angle width change before and after LPI) in all quadrants and in subgroup quadrants based on IC. RESULTS In 94 eyes of 94 patients with PACS, LPI led to angle widening with increases in AOD500 and TIA (P<0.01). Multivariable regression analysis showed that IC (P<0.001), CB position (P=0.007) and iris insertion (P=0.049) were significantly predictive for ΔAOD500. All quadrants were categorized into extreme IC (27.8%), moderate IC (62.3%), and absent IC (9.9%) subgroups. The AOD500 increased by 220% and no other predictive factor was found in the extreme IC quadrants. The AOD500 increased by 55%, and baseline iris angulation was predictive for smaller changes in ΔAOD500 in the moderate IC quadrants. CONCLUSION In PACS patients, quadrants with greater iris bowing predict substantial angle widening after LPI. Quadrants with a flatter iris, anteriorly positioned CB, and basal iris insertion are associated with less angle widening after LPI. Quadrants with iris angulation as well as a flatter iris configuration predict a smaller angle change after LPI.
Objective:To analyze the long-term outcomes of hybrid arch repair(HAR) treating aortic arch pathologies.Methods:Between January 2009 and January 2018, 87 consecutive patients underwent HAR for aortic arch pathologies at Beijing Anzhen Hospital. 76 were males. 2 cases were in zone 0, 46 cases were in zone 1, and 39 cases were in zone 2. The zones of the aortic arch were defined following the Ishimaru classification.Results:Five(5.7%) operative death occurred. 13 patients(19.1%) died during the follow-up. The overall survival rate was 88.4%, 83.3%, 83.3%, 49.8% at 1, 3, 5, 10 year, respectively. Multivariate Cox proportional risk analysis showed that stroke( HR=20.626, 95% CI: 2.698-157.685, P=0.004) was an independent risk factor for short-term death. Stroke( HR=16.234, 95% CI: 4.103-64.229, P<0.001) and spinal cord infury( HR=11.060, 95% CI: 2.150-56.893, P=0.004) were independent risk factors for long-term death. Conclusion:In conclusion, HAR could be an alternative procedure for the patients that are not suitable for open repair under the premise of strict control of indications. In the future, the risk assessment system and uniform operational indications for HAR should be further established.

Controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV) can cause diaphragmatic motionlessness to induce diaphragmatic dysfunction. Partial maintenance of spontaneous breathing (SB) can reduce ventilation-induced diaphragmatic dysfunction (VIDD). However, to what extent SB is maintained in CMV can attenuate or even prevent VIDD has been rarely reported. The current study aimed to investigate the relationship between SB intensity and VIDD and to identify what intensity of SB maintained in CMV can effectively avoid VIDD. Adult rats were randomly divided according to different SB intensities: SB (0% pressure controlled ventilation (PCV)), high-intensity SB (20% PCV), medium-intensity SB (40% PCV), medium-low intensity SB (60% PCV), low-intensity SB (80% PCV), and PCV (100% PCV). The animals underwent 24-h controlled mechanical ventilation (CMV). The transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi), the maximal Pdi (Pdi max) when phrenic nerves were stimulated, Pdi/Pdi max, and the diaphragmatic tonus under different frequencies of electric stimulations were determined. Calpain and caspase-3 were detected using ELISA and the cross-section areas (CSAs) of different types of muscle fibers were measured. The Pdi showed a significant decrease from 20% PCV and the Pdi max showed a significant decrease from 40% PCV (P<0.05). In vivo and vitro diaphragmatic tonus exhibited a significant decrease from 40% PCV and 20% PCV, respectively (P<0.05). From 20% PCV, the CSAs of types I, IIa, and IIb/x muscle fibers showed significant differences, which reached the lowest levels at 100% PCV. SB intensity is negatively associated with the development of VIDD. Maintenance of SB at an intensity of 60%-80% may effectively prevent the occurrence of VIDD.

Objective To summarize the nutritional management strategies of patients undergoing electively gastrointestinal surgery.Methods This article reviewed the recent researches on perioperative nutritional management in electively gastrointestinal surgery,including four major directions:preoperative nutritional evaluation,glucose level control,nutritional type,and immunonutrition.Results At present,preoperative nutritional evaluation methods included anthropometry,laboratory tests,subjective global assessment (SGA),nutritional risk screening (NRS) 2002,Reilly nutritional risk screening,nutritional risk indicator (NRI),and so on.For preoperative nutritional assessment system,however,current data could not single out superiority for any nutritional assessment methods in the ability to predict surgery-related complications.The usage of enhanced recovery after surgery (ERAS) protocol to reduce surgical stress and preclude postoperative insulin resistance had recently been clearly linked to reductions in postoperative morbidity and adverse outcomes.There were specific criterias for perioperative parenteral and enteral nutrition in undernourished patients,who were defined in clinical guidelines recently,such as the Guidelines for Adult Perioperative Nutrition Support issued by Chinese Society of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition (CSPEN).Several systematic reviews showed that immunonutrition could reduce both morbidity and length of stay after major electively gastrointestinal surgery.Conclusion Perioperative nutritional management can ensure patients benefit from nutritional support by nutritional assessment,can reduce the nutritional risk and metabolic disorder caused by operation,can achieve the goal of optimal nutrition support in surgical patients,and can ultimately reduce postoperative complications.
Objective To evaluate the intervention effect of applying admission mode of social psychological skills on patients with anxiety tendency after off - pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCAB). Methods A total of 138 patients, who received treatment in the expert outpatient service of Department of Cardiac Surgery in Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University from September 2014 to March 2015 and were identified with anxiety tendency at the end of the third month after OPCAB by hospital anxiety and depression scale(HAD),were selected as the research objects. The subjects were divided into intervention group(n = 79)and control group( n = 59)based on the admission mode of doctors. The admission mode of social psychological skills were applied in the intervention group,the traditional mode of admission was used in the control group. The scores of anxiety in HAD and self - conscious satisfaction of surgical outcomes at the end of the third and the sixth month after surgery were compared between the two groups. Results There was no significant difference in the score of anxiety in HAD and the score of self - conscious satisfaction of surgical outcomes at the end of the third month after surgery of patients in the two groups(P ﹥ 0. 05). The score of anxiety in HAD at the end of the sixth month after surgery in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group,while the score of self - conscious satisfaction of surgical outcomes was significantly higher than that in the control group(P ﹤ 0. 01). The score of anxiety in HAD at the end of the sixth month after surgery was significantly lower than that at the end of the third month after surgery in the intervention group,while the score of self - conscious satisfaction of surgical outcomes was significantly higher than that at the end of the third month after surgery(P ﹤0. 05);the score of anxiety in HAD at the end of the sixth month after surgery was significantly lower than that at the end of the third month after surgery in the control group,while the score of self - conscious satisfaction of surgical outcomes was significantly higher than that at the end of the third month after surgery( P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusion The application of admission mode of social psychological skills in patients with anxiety tendency after OPCAB can effectively alleviate the anxiety of patients and improve the patient's satisfaction of the effects of OPCAB.
Intracardic air embolism is uncommon, however it is a serious condition which frequently leads to catastrophic complications during or after invasive procedures resulting in significant morbidity and mortality. For a successful resuscitation of patients with intracardiac air embolism, hyperbaric oxygen therapy is critical. Still, due to a hyperbaric chamber’s unavailability at many hospitals and concerns about patient movement resulting in further embolism during transport, such treatment method is gradually diminishing. We present a case of acute-onset right-sided heart failure from massive intracardiac air embolism that was successfully treated with an intracardiac catheter aspiration procedure instead of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. A 78-year old man with a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and ischemic heart disease presented to the emergency department with dyspnea (NYHA FC III-IV) and chest discomfort. The patient had been complaining of coughs and sputum over the past week. In the morning of admission day, he had got an intramuscular injection at the hip. He had undergone coronary artery bypass graft three years ago and had been well until this present admission. ECG and chest X-ray were normal with no widening of the mediastinum or pleural effusion observed, and blood chemistry was also normal except for the high brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) level [952 (0–100 pg/mL)]. Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) showed severe diastolic dysfunction and pulmonary hypertension with inferior vena cava (IVC) plethora. A chest CT was done, which revealed a large amount of air in the right atrium, right ventricle, and pulmonary artery (Figure 1A–1B). In addition, there were air bubbles in brachiocephalic veins, left subclavian and axillary vein, right internal jugular vein, and the pre-thyroid
Objective To evaluate effects of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on blood lipid in patients after off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG).Methods Totally 354 patients with coronary artery disease who had OPCABG from January 2010 to June 2015 in Beijing Anzhen Hospital,Capital Medical University were randomly divided into rosuvastatin group(n =169) and atorvastatin group(n =185).After treatment,the rosuvastatin group took rosuvastatin 10 mg/d and the atorvastatin group took atorvastatin 10 mg/d based on conventional therapy;both groups were treated for 12 months.Liver function,renal function,myocardial enzyme,blood lipid and high sensitive C-reactive protein(hs-CRP) were tested before and 1,3,6,12 months after operation.Results Levels of total cholesterol (TC),triacylglycerol (TG),low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) and hs-CRP 3,6,12 weeks after operation were significantly lower than those before operation in both groups [rosuvastatin group:(4.87 ±0.21),(4.35 ±1.04),(4.05 ±0.78) mmol/L vs (6.65 ±1.18) mmol/L;(2.58 ±0.67),(2.13 ±0.59),(1.70 ± 0.59) mmol/L vs (3.24 ± 1.21) mmol/L;(2.35 ± 0.20),(2.09 ± 0.49),(1.88 ± 0.73) mmol/L vs (3.52 ± 1.87) mmol/L;(2.5 ± 1.0),(2.1 ± 1.1),(1.7 ± 0.9) mg/L vs (3.2 ± 1.3) mg/L;atorvastatin group:(5.20 ±0.47),(4.56 ±0.83),(4.03 ± 0.43) mmol/L vs (6.55 ±0.94)mmol/L;(2.61 ±0.87),(2.21 ± 1.05),(1.79 ± 0.71) mmol/L vs (3.48 ± 1.19) mmol/L;(2.87 ± 0.97),(2.54 ± 1.10),(2.11 ± 1.11) mmol/L vs (3.68±1.91)mmol/L;(2.6±1.2),(2.3±1.0),(2.0±1.2)mg/Lvs (3.1±1.9)mg/L](P<0.05).TC,TG,LDL-C,high density lipoprotein cholesterol and hs-CRP had no significant differences between groups before operation(P > 0.05);1,3,6 weeks after operation,TC,TG and LDL-C in rosuvastatin group were significantly lower than those in atorvastatin group(P <0.05);12 weeks after operation,TG,LDL-C and hs-CRP in rosuvastatin group were significantly lower than those in atorvastatin group (P < 0.05).No drug-related severe adverse reaction was observed.Conclusion Both rosuvastatin and atorvastatin are safe and effective for post-OPCABG patients;10 mg/d rosuvastatin is more effective than 10 mg/d atorvastatin.
Objective To determine the relationship between preoperative frailty and the occurrence of early postoperative delirium (POD) undergoing abdominal surgery in the older patients Method Patients 60 years or older undergoing abdominal surgery were enrolled. Frailty status also was measured preoperatively by Fried score. Independence in functional status was measured by the Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). Self-rating depression scales (SDS) was used to measure symptoms of depression. The incidence of POD was compared among the different frailty groups, a multilevel logistic regression model was used to explore factors associated with the risk of early postoperative delirium. Result One hundred and twenty three subjects (age from 60to 91, 73.58±6.23 years) were studied. Preoperative frailty was associated with increased postoperative delirium (frail 43.4% vs intermediately 20.6% vs no frail 2.8%, P<0.01) after abdominal surgery. Preoperative frailty score, ADL, and the SDS score were significantly associated with the development of POD. The multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that preoperative frailty score, ADL, IADL and SDS score were significantly associated with POD. Conclusion The preoperative frailty score may be used as a predictor of POD for the evaluation of elderly patients
Background: Though trabeculectomy is often performed on patients with medically refractive pigmentary glaucoma (PG), the clinical outcomes of surgical treatment on PG remain unknown. The aim of this study was to summarize the long-term efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy on PG. Methods: This was a prospective case series observational study. Eighteen consecutive PG patients were followed up for 8 years after trabeculectomy from May 2006 to April 2007. Visual acuity (VA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), slit lamp biomicroscopy, intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement, Humphrey visual field analysis (VFA), and stereoscopic funduscopy were performed on admission and every 6 months after the surgery. Postoperative IOP, VA, BCVA, VFA, adjunctive anti-glaucoma medication, treatment-related side-effects, changes in blebs, and main clinical findings in the anterior segment of PG were recorded and compared with the baseline. Results: Eighteen PG eyes from 18 patients, with average preoperative IOP of 34.5 ± 4.7 mmHg (range: 21–47 mmHg, 1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) were enrolled in this study. All enrolled patients completed the follow-up visits and required examinations. Eight years after trabeculectomy, all surgical eyes (18/18) had satisfactory IOP control with an average of 13.7 ± 2.5 mmHg (range: 9–19 mmHg), which was significantly lower than baseline (P = 0.001). Majority (15/18) of the PG eyes had stable VA, BCVA, VFA, and optic disc cupping parameters. Functional blebs still existed in 12/18 of the PG eyes at the last follow-up visit. Unanimously, pigmentation in the anterior segment attenuated with time after surgical treatment. No severe side-effects were recorded in any of the surgical eyes. Conclusions: All surgical PG eyes in this study had satisfactory IOP control 8 years after the surgery with well-preserved visual function. The long-term efficacy and safety of trabeculectomy are promising in PG patients.
