Objective To explore the influencing factor of amount of bleeding after selective cesarean delivery,and to provide theoretical basis to prevent postpartum hemorrhage in clinic.Methods A total of 300 delivery women,who received selective cesarean delivery because of social factors,was included this research.The amount of bleeding after selective cesarean delivery was determined by volumetric method and weight method.The related factor of amount of bleeding after selective cesarean delivery was analyzed by single-factor and multiple regression method.Results The result of single-factor and multiple regression method showed that the amount of bleeding after selective cesarean delivery was related to uterine dysplasia,uterine contraction fatigue,cervical score,placenta previa,placental adhesion/implant and neonatal weight(Test value =9.263,9.845,3.447,7.234,5.765,3.627,all P ＜ 0.01),but not related to age,body weight,gestational duration,gravidity times,production time,abortion history,premature rupture of membrane (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Conclusion Uterine dysplasia,uterine contraction fatigue,cervical score,placenta previa,placental adhesion/implant and neonatal weight were the related factors of amount of bleeding after selective cesarean delivery,and should be predicted intensely to reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage.

Objective To introduce the new nomenclature scheme of the International Working Group (1995) on hepatic nodules, and summarize the imaging features of various hepatic nodules in light of their pathological characteristics, and evaluate the diagnostic values of various imaging facilities.Methods Ultrasound, computed tomography(CT), magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), and angiographic CT were reviewed and introduced.Results Many of these types of hepatic nodules play a role in the de novo and stepwise carcinogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) in the following steps: regenerative nodule, low grade dysplastic nodule, high grade dysplastic nodule, small HCC, and large HCC. Accompanying such transformations, there are significant alterations in the blood supply and perfusion of these hepatic nodules.Conclusion Modern state of the art medical imaging facilities can not only delineate and depict these hepatic nodules, but also provide important clues for the characterization of focal hepatic lesions in most cases, thus facilitating the early detection, diagnosis and management of HCC in its early stage.

Objective To evaluate the result of short-segment pedicle screw instrumentation plus pedicle screws inserted into the injury level for treatment of thoracolumbar burst fracture.Methods Fifty-six cases of thoracolumbar burst fracture treated from June 2008 to June 2011 were reviewed.There were 40 males and 16 females at mean age of 32.8 years (range,25-60 years).Twenty-four cases were injured from traffic accidents,19 cases from fall from the height,and 13 cases from fall of heavy objects.Fractured segments were T11 in 6 cases,T12 in 14 cases,L1 in 16 cases,L2 in 12 cases,L3in 5 cases,and L4 in 3 cases.Thirty cases underwent short-segment pedicle screw fixation through the level above the fracture to level below the fracture (Group A).Apart from this,26 cases were treated with additional transpedicular fixation at the fractured level (Group B).Anterior vertebral height ratio,sagittal Cobb' s angle,neurologic performance as evaluated by American Spinal Injury Association (ASIA) scale were assessed before operation,one week after operation,and one year after operation.Results Anterior vertebral height ratio and Cobb' s angle revealed no significant differences between the two groups before operation and one week after operation.At postoperative one year,anterior vertebral height ratio and sagittal Cobb' s angle were (87.2 ± 6.9)％ and (7.6 ± 3.2)°in Group A with significant differences from (93.3 5.7)％ and (5.7 ± 1.9) ° in Group B (P ＜ 0.05),but there was no statistical difference in ASIA scale of neurologic performance.Conclusion Short-segment pedicle screw instrumentation with stabilization at the level of fracture is an effective treatment for thoracolumbar burst fracture.

Objective To introduce the technique of three dimensional portal venography of multi detector row spiral CT and its clinical application in the evaluation of the portosystemic collateral shunts of liver cirrhosis. Methods All relevant literatures were retrospectively reviewed on the application of two dimensional and three dimensional reconstruction techniques such as MIP, SSD, VRT of multi detector row spiral CT to demonstrate the collateral vessels of liver cirrhosis.Results The distribution, pathway and anatomy of portosystemic collateral vessels were well shown by multi detector row spiral CT portal venography. Conclusion Multi detector row spiral CT portal venography provides excellent depiction of the anatomic characteristics of the collateral shunts and enables the continuous tracing of vascular structures, thus it is very helpful in the imaging evaluation of the collateral vessels of liver cirrhosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of continuous passive motion (CPM) protocols on outcomes of total knee arthroplasty. Methods Seventy-two patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty were divided into 2 groups and treated with different CPM protocols: group 1 with CPM from 0 degree to 40 degrees and increased by 10 degrees per day, while group 2 with CPM from 90 degrees to 50 degrees (early flexion) and gradually progressed to full extension over a 4-day period. The CPM was administered twice a day for 1 hour over a 7-day period. All the patients participated in the same postoperative physiotherapy program. Results Group 2 (the early flexion group) had significantly more range of motion than group 1. Conclusion The early flexion can help achieve favorable functional gain after total knee arthroplasty.

Objective: To investigate the concentrations of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine(SPARC) in the serum and urine of patients with IgA nephropathy and its expression in the kidney tissues. Methods: The concentrations of SPARC, tumor necrosis factor-a (TNF-a),interleukin 1β (IL-1β), and interleukin 6 (IL-6) in the serum and urine were measured with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The contents of SPARC protein in the culture medium of human mesangial cell (HMC) and human renal tubular epithelial cell (HKC), which had been treated with IL-6, were determined by ELISA. The expression and distribution of SPARC in IgA nephropathy and normal kidney tissues were observed by immunohistochemistry assay. Results: The concentrations of SPARC in serum and urine of IgA nephropathy patients were higher than those of the normal control subjects ([2.43±±1.22] μg/ml vs [0.69±0.21] 2μg/ml, [7.73±2.81] μg/ml vs [1.17±1.03]ρg/ml, P<0.01). The serum levels of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in IgA nephropathy group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P< 0.05); the urinary levels of TNF-α and IL-6 in IgA nephropathy group were also higher than those in the controls (P<0.01). SPARC protein secreted by HKC was higher than that by HMC (P<0.01). SPARC was weakly positive in normal distal cortical tubules. SPARC protein expression in tubular epithelial cells of IgA nephropathy patients was obviously higher than that of the normal controls. Conclusion: The secretion of SPARC by renal tubular epithelial cells is increased in patients with IgA nephropathy, which results in elevation of serum SPARC and may have a protective feedback inhibitory effect on HMC proliferation.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of glucocorticoid on the treatment of acute cerebral stroke. Methods: Seventy-six patients with acute cerebral infarction were randomly divided into two treatment groups which included the group of intravenous infusion with dexamethasone 10 mg, Xuesaitong 0.4 g, and sodium citicoline 0.5 g Qd,and the group without dexamethasone treatment. Results: The infarction area enlarged on CT scan and the deficits of neural function accelerated in dexamethasone group. There was no change on CT scan and no neural function deterioration in patients without dexamethasone treatment. Conclusion:Side effect is obtained with the early use of dexamethasone for the treatment of acute ischemic cerebral stroke.

0.05). VIP, however, could inhibit the Con A-induced proliferation of T-cells from control subjects more significantly than that from asthmatics (P0.05). The cAMP level in T-cells, however, increased more significantly in the control group than that in the asthmatic group after the treatment of VIP or NaF (P0.05). CONCLUSION: Inhibition effect of VIP on Con A-induced proliferation of T-cells was less in asthmatics than in control subjects, which may be related to insufficiency of Gs ? coupled VIP receptor on T-lymphocytes in asthmatics.
