Abstract:
Objective:To explore the diagnosis and management of acute deep vein thrombosis(DVT) of lower extremity. Methods: The clinical data of 96 patients with DVT were analysed retrospectively. Results:The diagnosis rate of DVT by vascular color ultrasounography was 97.8%, by MVC/SVO ratio combined with air plethysmagraphy was 97.2%, and by ECT was 100%. The MVO/SVC ratio, and diameter of calf and thigh in surgery group and in non surgery group showed significant difference in 7 days after operation (P<0.01). In this series, the effect was excellent in 62 cases(64.6%), good in 25 cases (26.0%), bad in 3 cases (3.1%), and discharged oneself in 6(6.3%). Conclusions: Vascular color ultrasounography is the first choice of noninvasive examination . The air plethysmography is a objective, effective and noninvasive technique in the diagnosis and evaluation of treatment effect of DVT. Early embolectomy combined with thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy can get good effect.

Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the causes of groin lymphatic fistula after transluminal ultrasonic angioplasty (TUA) in the treatment of deep vein thrombosis(DVT) of lower extremity through groin incision. Methods: A retrospective analysis of the causes of groin lymphatic fistula(GLF) in 72 patients with DVT after treatment of ultrasonic ablation was made. Results:TUA and thrombectomy using Forgaty balloon catheter for DVT of lower extremity achieved successful recanalization in all the 72 cases (100%). Of the 72 cases,51 had iliac vein stenosis,the venous stenosis disappeared after balloon dilation;among the 51 cases,6 cases received stent placement. GLF occurred postoperatively in 60 cases. No death occurred in this series. Conclusions:TUA is an effective method in the treatment of DVT of lower extremity,but the incidence of postoperative GLF is high.The causes of GLF may be related to the injury of lymphatic vessels, increase of quantity of lymph flow induced by increased venous pressure, infection, surgical technique factors and postoperative medicine therapy etc.

Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the expression and significance of p38 mitogenactivated protein kinase (MAPK) in autogenous vein graft. Methods: Autogenous vein graft model was established by transplanting the right jugular vein to infrarenal abdominal aorta in 80 Wistar rats. Ten vein graft samples were harvested 6 hours, 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, 2 weeks, 4 weeks, 6 weeks and 8 weeks after surgery,respectively. Reverse transcriptionPCR and in situ hybridization,Western blot and immunohistochemistry methods were used to detect the expression of protein and phosphorylation protein of p38 and p38mRNA. Results:The expression of p38 mRNA increased 6 hours after surgery and reached the peak on the second week after surgery (59%±26%）,and significantly higher than that on 4,6,8 weeks( P<0.01 vs.), Expression of p38 detected by Western blot reached to the peak on 2 to 4 weeks, and decreased significantly to 1/4 to 1/2fold on 8 weeks after surgery. The positive cells were mostly located in the vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMCs) in the media and/or intimal hyperplasia of vein graft. Conclusions: The activation of p38 MAPK system in intimal hyperplasia and vascular remodeling after vein graft may become a new target of the therapy for stenosis or obliteration of vein graft.

Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the feasibility and effect of the operation performed on the shortterm after stop of esophageal variceal bleeding(EVB) in patients with portal hypertension. Methods:The clinical data of fifty two cases of EVB undewent pericardiac devascularization (PCDV) operation or combination of PCDV and shunt operation (combined operation) 12 weeks after the EVB stopped were analysed. Results:After operation, the portal pressure in combined operation group and PCDV group was （9.3±2.25）cmH2O and（3.65±1.52）cmH2O respectively. The operative mortality was 5.8% (3/52) and the mobidity was 44.2%（23/52）in this series. No rebleeding occurred in combined operation group,but recurrent bleeding developed in 2 cases in PCDV group during the early postoperative period. The incidence of rebleeding was 5.6% in combined operation group and 20.0% in PCDV group in long followup period. Postoperative encephalopathy occured in 2 cases in combined operation group and 1 case in PCDV group. Conclusions:For the patients with portal hypertension complicated with EVB,surgical therapy 12 weeks after stop of EVB might be a safe and feasible method. Combined operation should be performed on the younger patients with higher portal pressure(>35cmH2O) and the liver function belongs to Child A or B grade;however, if the patient with hepatic function of Child C grade,the first choice of surgical procedure is PCDV.
