Objective To observe the clinical effect of oral use and acupoint application of Chinese herbal medicine with the actions of strengthening spleen and regulating stomach, lowering rebellious Qi to stop vomiting in treating pregnant pernicious vomiting. Methods One hundred and twenty-two spleen-stomach deficiency pregnant pernicious vomiting cases were randomly divided into observation group ( N=63) and control group (N=59). At the end of the trial, 2 cases of the control group dropped out, and the total case number was 57 in the control group. Both groups were treated with intravenous infusion, dietary care, daily life and emotional nursing, and oral use of Chinese herbal medicine with the actions of strengthening spleen and regulating stomach, lowering rebellious Qi to stop vomiting. Additionally, the observation group was given acupoint application of herbs for strengthening spleen and regulating stomach, lowering rebellious Qi to stop vomiting. The treatment was performed once a day, 4 days constituted one treatment course, and the treatment lasted two continuous courses. The improvement of vomiting, therapeutic effect and the safety were compared between the two groups after treatment. Results ( 1) The total effective rate was 96.8%in the observation group and was 71.9%in the control group, the difference being significant (P<0.01). (2) The time for stopping vomiting in the observation group was significantly less than that in control group (P<0.01). (3) During the treatment, no obvious adverse reaction was found in the two groups. Conclusion Acupoint application of herbs for strengthening spleen and regulating stomach, lowering rebellious Qi to stop vomiting has obvious synergistic effect on the clinical efficiency of spleen-stomach deficiency pregnant pernicious vomiting treated by oral use of herbal medicine, intravenous infusion, dietary care, and daily life and emotional nursing.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the feasibility,safety and efficacy of domestic small waist big edge-type occluder for patients with multiple outlets sac-type membranous ventricular septal defection (VSD),and summarize its technical problems and the choice of treatment strategies.METHODS:A total of 20 patients with sac-type membranous VSD,underwent left ventricular angiography at left anterior oblique 45°-60° plus CAOD 20°-25°;the left ventricular entrance diameters were 7-21 (10.9±5.2) mm,more than 2 outlets in the right ventricular surfaces,and the largest outlet diameters were 3-10 (4.8±2.9) mm.According to the result from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and angiography,the sac-bag size,shape,location,extent of tissue adhesion,and stability were determined.Different types of small waist big edge-type occluder were implanted,and the occluder diameter was 5-14 (4.6±2.8) mm.Following 15 minutes of blocking,the immediate effects of occlusion were observed through repeating left ventricuiar angiography and TTE.All patients rechecked ultrasonic cardiography and electrocardiogram at 5-7 days of hospital stay,and 1,3,6 and 12 months following surgery.All patients took aspirin tablets for 6 months.RESULTS:Of 20 patients,17 cases underwent domestic small waist big edge occluder,blocked successfully through left ventricular entrance,2 cases were successful using symmetry block,and 1 case was failed.Intraoperative occlusion did not affect the aortic valve and tricuspid valve function.There were 1 case with left bundle branch block and 1 case with right bundle branch block during the operation,and all recovered within a week by using hormone therapy.After 6 months,the cardiac sizes were reduced to different degrees.CONCLUSION:It is safe and effective to treat multiple outlets sac-shaped membranous VSD with domestic small waist big edge-type occluder.The key technology,according to the sac size,shape,firmness,outlet orientation,import size,and the size of aortic stump,is to determine the block site and to select a suitable occluder.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms involved in cucurmosin-induced apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell SW1990.Methods The expression of EGFR,PI3K,Akt,Bad,Caspase -9,mTOR,P70S6K-α,and 4E BP1 at the protein level were detected by western blot analysis,and RTPCR was used to determine EGFR mRNA expression.Results An increased concentration of cucurmosin showed a subsequent decrease in the expression of EGFR,PI3K,Akt,mTOR,P70S6Kα,and 4E -BP1,whereasthe expression of Bad and Caspase-9 were elevated.However,the mRNA expression of EGFR was unchanged.Conclusion Cucurmosin is shown to induce the apoptosis of pancreatic cancer cell SW1990 by down regulating the expression of EGFR and thus inactivating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of L?Arabinose for bowel preparation before colonos?copy. Methods A total of 170 patients who underwent colonoscopy were randomized into 2 groups. The ex?perimental group (n=85) used L?Arabinose for bowel preparation, while the control group (n=85) used polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution ( PEG?ELS ) . The degree of comfort, adverse effects, and the visibility during colonoscopy were observed. Results Premedication of L?Arabinose for bowel preparation yielded to more comfort ( U=-4?349,P=0?000) , less adverse effects (χ2=29?27,P=0?000) , and similar visibility during colonoscopy ( U=-0?875,P=0?381) compared with PEG?ELS. Conclusion L?Arabinose is safe, comfortable, and effective for bowel preparation before colonoscopy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of pre-procedure simethicone on detection of pharynx by upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Methods A total of 100 patients with esophageal squamous cell carcinomas ( ESCCs) were enrolled in this prospective controlled trial and randomly assigned into two groups. The study group was given gargle with 5 mL simethicone plus 5 mL water combined with conventional procedure before gastroscopy. The control group was prepared according to the conventional procedure. The age, gender, tumor stage, lesion size, doctor's satisfaction and examination time between two groups were analyzed. Results The basic conditions between the two groups, including age, gender, and tumor stage were not significantly different (all P>0. 05). The detection rate of superficial lesion in pharynx was higher in the study group than that in the control group, with no significant difference [8. 16%(4/49) VS 2. 04%( 1/49), P=0. 362]. The median time of pharyngeal observation in the study group was less than that in the control group (21. 7 s VS 33. 9 s, P=0. 000). The doctor was more satisfied in the study group than the control group (P=0. 001). Conclusion Pre-procedure with simethicone improves the endoscopic visibility and detection rate of superficial squamous cell carcinoma with less observation time.

ObjectiveTo investigate current status of hospital infection management in psychiatric hospitals in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, so as to provide references for improving the level of hospital infection management of psychiatric hospitals. MethodsIn December 2020, on-site supervision was conducted on hospital infection management in all 9 psychiatric hospitals in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, meantime, the self-compiled questionnaire on hospital infection management status was used for investigation. ResultsAmong the selected hospitals, nine (100.00%) psychiatric hospitals had the main hospital leaders in charge of hospital infection management, five (55.56%) hospitals had established a hospital infection management committee, six (66.67%) hospitals had established an independent hospital infection management department, and one (11.11%) hospital had developed all 13 systems mentioned in the questionnaire related to hospital infection management and job responsibilities. In terms of hospital infection management staff, there were 23 staff members in the nine psychiatric hospitals, including 3 in the specialty (13.04%) and 20 in the part-time setting (86.96%). The score of the implementation of the basic system of hospital infection management in nine hospitals was (3.28±2.22). ConclusionThe system specification related to hospital infection management in the Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region psychiatric hospitals needs to be improved and further strengthened, the professionalism of hospital infection management personnel needs to be improved.
