ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate long-term outcome of simultaneous kissing sirolimus-eluting stent (SKS) technique versus single sirolimus-eluting stent (SSS) technique for percutaneous treatment of true coronary bifurcation lesions in large-size vessels.Methods This randomized study assigned 190 patients with a coronary bifurcation lesion to simultaneous kissing stenting (SKS) in both main and side branches and 190 patients to main vessel stenting only (SSS).The endpoints included restenosis,death,non-fatal myocardial infarction,target-lesion revascularization (TLR),stent thrombosis,success rate of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and the operation duration.Results During 1-year follow-up,the SKS group and the SSS group had similar incidences of overall re stenosis [30 ( 15.8 ％ ) vs.24 ( 15.2 ％ ),x2=0.000,P＜0.05],mainbranch restenosis [20 ( 10.5％ ) vs.16 ( 10.1％ ),x2=0.003,P ＞ 0.05];side-branch restenosis [13 ( 6.8％ )vs.23 ( 14.6％ );x2=4.73,P＜0.05];death [2 ( 1.1％ ) vs.1 ( 0.6％ ),x2=0.026,P ＞ 0.05],non-fatal myocardial infarction [4 (2.1％ ) vs.2 ( 1.3％ ),x2=0.034,P ＞ 0.05],TLR [23 ( 12.1％ ) vs.20 ( 12.7％ ),x2=0.000,P ＞ 0.05] and stent thrombosis [4 (2.1％ ) vs.2 ( 1.3 ％ ),x2=0.034,P ＞ 0.05] and a shorter operation duration[(20 ± 8) min vs.(45 ± 9) min,t=1.98,P＜0.05] than the SSS group.Conclusion For true coronary bifurcation lesions in large-size vessels,SKS and SSS have similar long-term outcomes.The SKS group has a higher success rate of PCI and shorter operation duration.
ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the effects of touching combined with inhalation of atomized traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of recurrent respiratory tract infection.Methods 79 cases were selected according to the inclusion criteria from 105 repeated respiratory traction infection children who were treated in this hospital from September 2008 to August 2009.These cases were randomly recruited into a treatment group(40 cases)and a control group(39 cases).The control group was given conventional therapy at the period of onset,and intensive care at convalescence stage,avoiding cross infection.On this basis.the treatment group was treated with toughing plus inhalation of atomized traditional Chinese medicine at the period of onset.The frequency of respiratory tract infection,duration,appetite,and the condition of sleep were observed after one year's treatment.Results The total effective rate was 92.5%and 67%in the treatment group and the control group respectively,showing significant difference(χ~2=20.16,P＜0.05).Conclusion Touching combined wim inhalation of atomized traditional Chinese medicine is effective in treating recurrent respiratory tract infections in children.
ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the clinical effects of treating acute radioactive stomatitis with Xiufu Decoction by mouth-washing and oral-taking. Methods All 108 cancer patients were recruited into a treatment group (n=56) and a control group (n=52). The treatment group was treated with Xiufu Decoction for 15 days, and the control group was treated with Nystatin tabletsfor 15 days, 3 times/day. Results There was significant difference between the two groups in odynolysis time, the control of mycotic stomatitis, life condition, and overall effects (P<0.01 or P<0.05). All patients in the treatment group completed the whole course of radiotherapy; while 5 patients in the control group suspended the radiotherapy due to serious mouth ulcer. Conclusion Xiufu Decoction has the functions of enhancing immunity, fixing wound surface, relieving pain, improving diet and sleep, raising life quality, and safeguarding the process of radiation therapy, besides the decoction is safe and without toxic effect.
