Objectives:To translate the English version of Quality of Life Questionnaire of Stomach 22 into Chinese,and to test the reliability and validity of the Chinese Version of QLQ-STO22.Methods:From 1st June to 31st December,2003,140 patients with gastric cancer were sampled as study participants in three hospitals using cluster sampling method.All participants were interviewed with QLQ-STO22 Chinese version by the investigators who were trained in advance.Results:Nearly all ICCs of scales of STO22 were above 0.75;the split-half reliability coefficient is 0.78 and the Cronbach'a coefficient is 0.80.These results proved that the questionnaires had good test-retest reliability,split-half reliability and internal consistency.Three common factors were extracted by factor analysis,which ccould account for more than 60% of total variance and factor loads of the three common factors were above 0.5 in related items.Conclusion:QLQ-STO22 has good reliability and validity,which is available for the study of life quality among Chinese gastric cancer patients.

Objective To research the 50% effective anesthetic volume ( EAV50) of 0.5% ropivacaine in nerve stimulator-guided vertical infraclavicular brachial plexus block. Methods Thirty patients scheduled for forearm or hand surgery were blocked using 0. 5% ropivacaine in nerve stimulator-guided vertical infraclavicular brachial plexus block. The EAV50, which is the anesthetic volume corresponding to 50% success and 50% failure was determined by up-and-down sequential test. The starting dose of 0. 5% ropivacaine was 0. 55ml/kg. Block failure resulted in a dose increase 110% , and block success in a reduction 110%. The sensory and motor blockade were accessed at 5- min intervals (up to 60 min). Results In nerve stimulator-guided vertical infraclavicular brachial plexus block, EAV50 for 0.5% ropivacaine was 0.417ml/kg. In up-and-down sequential test, there were significantly different in the block success rates of lateral, medial and posterior cord ( P <0.01). Conclusion In nerve stimulator-guided vertical infraclavicular brachial plexus block, enough anesthetic volume must be given to increase block success rates of all the cords of brachial plexus, and EAV50 for 0. 5% ropivacaine was 0.417ml/kg.

Background Experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU) is a common animal model of uveitis.Natural killer (NK) cells have been confirmed to be a type of strong inflammation-causing cells,but its role in EAU is still studing.Objective This study was designed to explore the role and mechanism of NK cells in the pathogenesis of EAU.Methods Thirty-six SPF Lewis rats were randomly divided into expeimental control group and EAU 6-,9-,12-,16-,and 21-day groups (6 rats for each group).Rats in EAU group received subcutaneous injection interphotoreceptor retinoid binding protein (IRBP) combining 5 mg/ml tubercle bacillus with complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) emulsion in foot pads,and then 400 ng pertussis toxin was intraperitoneally injected to extablish EAU models in the EAU 6-,9-,12-,16-,and 21-day group,and normal saline solution combined with CFA and 400 ng pertussis toxin was used in the same way in the experimental control group.The inflammatory response was observed by slit lamp daily after modeling and scored based on Caspi criteria.The eyeballs were extracted in 6,9,12,16 and 21 days after modeling for retinal histopathological examination,Immunofluorescent double-staining was employed to detect and locate the expression of NK cells in the retina.In addition,25 model rats were divided into EAU 0-,3-,6-,9-and 12-day groups,with 5 rats for each group,and eyeballs were extracted to prepare tissue homogenate.The expression of CXCL10 mRNA,and CXCL12 mRNA NK cell chemokines,in the tissue homogenate was assayed by real-time quantitative PCR.The use and care of the rats followed Regulations for the Administration of Affair Concerning Experimental Animal by State Science and Technology Commission.Results No inflammatory sign in ocular anterior segment of the rats was seen in the experimental control group.The expansion of rat iris vessels was found in the EAU 6-day group,and exudes and hypopyon of the anterior chamber occurred in the EAU 9-day group and the inflammation peaked in the EAU 12-day gorup.The rat retinal structure was normal in the experimental control group,and the arrangement disorder of retinal structure,the cell separation in outer nuclear layer and damage of photoreceptors were found under the optical microscope in different degree in various EAU groups,with the most serious change in the EAU 12-day group.Immunofluorescent double staining showed normally arranged nucleus in the experimental control group,and a lot of NK infiltration was seen in the EAU 6-day group and peaked in the EAU 9-day group.The expression level of CXCL10 mRNA in the EAU 9-day group was 34.298 ± 16.689,which was significantly higher than that in the EAU 3-,6-and 12-day group,respectively (1.390 ± 0.660,3.359 ± 2.581,4.711 ±1.387) (all at P＜0.01).No significant differences were found in the relative expression of CXCL12 mRNA among different EAU groups (F=2.851,P＞0.05).Conclusions Retinal NK cell infiltration occurs in the early stage of EAU,and the severity of NK cell infiltration is consistent with the inflammatory process and CXCL10 expression,suggesting NK cells play an important role in the early stage of EAU,and CXCL10 is an important chemokine of NK cells in EAU rats.

Objective To compare effectiveness,performance,onset time and complications between ultrasound-guided cervical transverse process block and interscalene brachial plexus block in patients undergoing proximal humeral surgeries.Methods Sixty patients,27 males and 33 females, aged 18-70 years,scheduled for proximal humeral surgeries were randomly divided into two groups. They were given either cervical transverse process block (group T,n =30)or ultrasound-guided in-terscalene brachial plexus block (group I,n =30).All patients received a total of 8 ml of 0.5% ropiv-acaine.The performance, anesthetic onset time, the side effects and block success rate were evaluated.Results Block procedure was quicker in group T than in group I [(8.73 ±3.1 7)min vs. (14.40±8.21)min,P <0.01].The severity of diaphragmatic paralysis in group T was significantly lower than in group I (P <0.01).The ultrasound-guided cervical transverse process block was more effective than the interscalene brachial plexus block in patients undergoing proximal humeral surgeries (100% vs.80%,P <0.05).Conclusion The ultrasound-guided cervical transverse process block has a higher success rate and fewer incidence of diaphragmatic paralysis than the interscalene brachial plexus block in patients undergoing proximal humeral surgeries.

Objective To investigate the effect of Kangaroo care(KC)on diminishing neonatal pain during heel lancing. Methods Sixty neonates were divided randomly into two equal groups:intervention group and control group,which 30 cases in each group.In the intervention group,neonates were treated with KC(neonates were put in direct and continuous skin-to-skin contact with his/her mom)from 20 mins before heel lancing to 1 mins after the end of the lancing.In the control group,neonates were treated with regular care.The differences in heart rate,blood oxygen saturation,facial pain expression,crying duration and DAN(Douleur Aigue Nouveaune)scores between two groups were compared at 7 time points from 10s before the heel lancing to 10s after the lancing. Results The results of repeated measu te at 7 time points after heel lancing.There were significant interaction effect between time and main effect(P<0.01),which showed that the heart rate of two groups were not equal at different time points.Compared with the time effects(P<0.01)which showed that two groups of neonatal heart rate of the two groups would accelerate with time extension. There were significant differences(all P<0.05)in heart rate at 7 time points between two groups and smaller heart rate varied range in intervention group.The results of repeated measures analysis for neonatal blood oxygen saturation at 7 time points after heel lancing. There were significant interaction effect between time and main effects(P<0.01),which showed that the blood oxygen saturation of two groups were not equal at different time points.Compared with the time effect(P<0.01),which showed that two groups of neonatal blood oxygen saturation would reduce with time extension.There were significant differences(all P<0.05)in blood oxygen saturation of two groups at 30s,40s and 50s after heel lancing and smaller blood oxygen saturation varied range in intervention group.The crying duration and DAN scores in intervention group were significantly reduced compared with the controls(all P<0.05).Conclusions
Heel lancing could lead to moderate to severe pain of neonates.KC could effectively diminish the neonatal pain degree caused by heel lancing.

Objective Pulmonary embolism is a common cardiovascular emergency with the characteristics of high incidence,high mortality.This study compared pulmonary artery catheter thrombolysis with peripheral intravenous thrombolysis for acute pulmonary embolism in the mid-term clinical efficacy.Methods From June 2011 to September 2015,68 patients were given pulmonary artery interventional therapy,54 cases received peripheral intravenous thrombolysis;discharged patients were followed up for 3-12 months to evaluate the curative rate,effective rate,recurrence rate and the incidence of complications.Results Follow up rate was 79.5％.The cure rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (47.3 ％ vs 23.8 ％,P ＜ 0.05);The significant effective rate of the treatment group was higher than that of the control group (81.8％ vs 52.4％,P ＜ 0.05);The incidence of Chronic pulmonary hypertension (1.8％) was lower than that of the control group (16.7％);There was no significant difference in improvement rate,recurrence rate and mortality.Conclusion The medium-term efficacy of pulmonary artery catheter directed thrombolysis is superior to that of peripheral intravenous thrombolysis;it can effectively reduce the incidence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.

Objective To compare the dissolution behavior between domestic trepibutone tablets and original reference product, and provide a basis for evaluating the quality consistency of generic drugs. Methods Four dissolution media recommended by Japanese Orange Book and a domestic standard dissolution media were selected to determined the dissolution profile,and f2 factor was calculated to investigate the consistency of stripping curves. Results In water,pH 4.0 and pH 1.2,the f2 of domestic formulation and reference formulation was under 50,and the dissolution profile was inconsistent.Dissolution behavior of domestic preparations of different manufacturers was dissimilar.In water,the f2 of domestic preparations of different batches of the same manufacturer was over 99.9,and the dissolution behavior was similar. Conclusion The dissolution method of existing domestic standard can not distinguish the dissolution behavior of different products,and it should be revised and completed.There is still great difference in quality between the domestic preparations and reference preparations.

There was no postoperative complications. Da Vinci surgical system was found to be associated with fewer hemorrhage, rapid postoperative intestinal recovery, and therefore a shorter hospital stay. Conclusions Robot-assisted laparoscopic right hemicolectomy can be applied safely and with feasibility for colonic cancer.

Objective To explore the causes of postoperative recurrence in patients of nodular goiter,the selection of method for reoperation and the postoperative complications. Methods The clinical data of 278 nodular goiter patients admitted in the first affiliated hospital of Harbin Medical University between 2001 and 2008 were analyzed retrospectively,including the methods and complications for first operation and reoperation. Results In the first operation,79 eases received simple eminectomy and 167 cases received partial lobectomy,accounted for 28.4% and 60.1%,respectively. Unilateral subtotal lobectomy plus contralateral eminectomy was performed in 23 cases and subtotal thyroideetomy was conducted in 9 cases,accounted for 8.3% and 3.2%,respectively. Postoperative complications occurred in one hundred and twenty-three cases,the incidence being 8.2% (23/278). Unilateral subtotal Iobectomy plus contralateral partial iobectomy was reperformed in 37 cases and bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy in 241 cases. Postoperative complications occurred in 12 cases,the incidence being 4.2%(12/278). No postoperative recurrence of nodular goiter was found. Conclusions Recurrence of nodular goiter is closely associated with the scope of previous surgical treatment,and correct operative manipulation may reduce the recurrent rate.

Objective To seek a rational method of estimating the demands for medical services so as to work out regional health planning in a scientific way. Methods A metropolis including 19 counties and districts was selected as a region and demands for medical services were forecasted via retrospective analysis and the econometric model. Results A model of the demands for outpatient and inpatient services was obtained based on the impact of many social and economic factors on medical health services, and illustrations were given to indicate the demands for medical health services in the 19 counties and districts in future when prices should rise by 15% and 20%. Conclusion The econometric model can be used as a tool for estimating the demands for medical health services, and yet improvements need to be made.
