ObjectiveTo relieve the nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy in patients with hematologic diseases, and to secure the completion of chemotherapy.Methods320 cases of hematologic patients were divided randomly into 2 groups: the treatment group (160 cases): ondanseton 4 mg and dexamethone 10 mg I.V.; ondanseton group (160 cases): ondanseton 4 mg I.V.ResultsThe effective rate of the treatment group was 98.75%, and that of the ondansetron group was 43.13%. There was a singificantly difference between two groups (P<0.001).ConclusionOndanseton combined with dexamethone has a good effect on the vomiting and nausea induced by chemotherapy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical features and efficiency of surgical treatment in elderly patients with parathyroid tumor.Methods Clinical data of 12 cases (aged 60-83 years) was retrospectively analyzed.Their main complaints varies individually,including bone and muscle trouble in 9 patients,abdominal problem in 7 ones,and kidney stone in 6 ones.PTH level ranged from 78 to 2850 μg/L,and calcium level 2.6-4.5 mmol/L.Parathyroidectomy was carried out in 8 patients,while extended excision of suspected tissues in 6 ones.Intraoperative PTH determination was routinely performed.Results A drop by at least 50％ in PTH level was achieved in all cases after 10 minutes of tumor-bearing tissues excision.A much improvement of main complaints was shown in all cases about 1 week postoperatively.During the follow-up period from 18 to 48 months,both PTH and calcium levels were still in normal range in 9 patients,relapse was noticed in two cases 1 or 2 years after operation respectively.One patient died even after successful excision of parathyroid tumor.Conclusions PTH and calcium level determination is advised in elderly patients with suspected parathyroid tumor,and surgical treatment is generally safe and effective.

OBJECTIVE We designed the overall layout,formulated the functional demand,and optimized the key design and operating parameters of a new-style asepsis clean ward.The new-style ward intends to provide a higher quality environment for patient infection control and all-around protection during treatment.METHODS We applied computational fluid dynamics(CFD)simulation to optimize the design scheme according to Chinese and international hospital design specifications.RESULTS The new-style asepsis ward reflected a new idea,new technology,high standards and created a comfortable and safe,high-quality environment for the treatment of patient.The Satisfaction of patients was more than 95% and workload of nurses was alleviated obviously.CONCLUSIONS The new-style asepsis ward can significantly control the endogenous infection of patients.

OBJECTIVE To compare the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) simulated results and field test data of the new-style asepsis ward.METHODS We used various equipments to test the asepsis ward and CFD software to simulate airflow of asepsis ward.RESULTS After calculating and comparing,we found the CFD simulation results agreed well with the tested data.Key design and operating parameters were up to the standard.The new-style of asepsis ward could improve the air quality and provide a comfortable environment for patient treatment and it was of great help to decrease the infection rate of patient.CONCLUSIONS The new-style asepsis ward can significantly control the endogenous infection of patients.

OBJECTIVE: To study on relationship between diverse handling time following onset and clinical prognosis of cases with Bell palsy. METHOD: Two hundred and sixteen cases with Bell palsy, who were admitted in our department between Jun. 2006 and Dec. 2009, were collected and divided into 6 groups according to disease time: 1-2 months, > 2 - 3 months, > 3 - 4 months, > 4 - 5 months, > 5 - 6 months, and > 6 months. Cases in all groups received subtotal course decompression of facial nerve and other compound treatment, and the relationship between handling timing and clinical prognosis were compared. RESULT: It was found that the difference of prognosis and handling timing was statistically significant, after comparison between all groups with Facial Grading Standards (H-B) as the standard to assess prognosis. CONCLUSION Clinical prognosis of cases with Bell palsy was related to alternative handling time, and subtotal course decompression of facial nerve was recommended to be performed as early as possible for those cases who were irresponsive after conservative treatment for one month.

BACKGROUNDAllogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from unrelated donors (UR-PBSCT) is an alternative treatment for many hematologic diseases due to lack of human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical sibling donors. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of the degree of the HLA match on the clinical efficacy of UR-PBSCT.

METHODSPatients who underwent UR-PBSCT from September 2003 to September 2012 were retrospectively investigated. They were divided into three groups according to high-resolution molecular typing. SPSS version 17.0 was used to analysis and compare the statistics of engraftment, incidence of GVHD, other complications and survival among the groups.

RESULTSOne hundred and eleven patients received UR-PBSCT, 60 of them with an HLA matched donor (10/10), 36 of them with a one locus mismatched donor (9/10), and 15 of them with a two loci mismatched donor (8/10). Similar basic characteristics were found in the three groups. No differences were found in engraftment of myeloid cells or platelets in the three groups (P > 0.05). Two-year cumulative incidence of relapse, overall survival (OS) and disease-free survival (DFS) among those three groups were similar (P > 0.05). The cumulative incidence of 100-day III-IV aGVHD in the HLA matched group and the one HLA locus mismatched group were significantly lower than that in the two HLA loci mismatched group (3.3%, 8.6%, and 26.7%, P = 0.009). The occurrence rate of new pulmonary infections in the HLA matched group was lower than in the two HLA mismatched groups (26.67%, 52.78%, and 41.18%, P = 0.035). The cumulative incidence of 100-day and 2-year transplantation related mortality (TRM) in two HLA loci mismatched group was higher than in the HLA matched group and in the one HLA locus mismatched group, (8.4%, 11.8% and 33.3%, P = 0.016) and (12.3%, 18.7% and 47.5%, P = 0.002).

CONCLUSIONSHLA mismatch will not significantly impact the engraftment or 2-year survival after UR-PBSCT, but two mismatched HLA loci may increase the cumulative incidence of severe aGVHD and TRM.
