Objective To understand the current status and the changes in main disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities during the past 20 years in China. Methods　The data of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over that were from the national sample survey on disability in 1987 and 2006 were analyzed and compared by epidemiology methods. Results　In 2006.the main disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 and over were disease factors,injury factors,other factors and congenital diseases and eccyliosis.The cause-specific disability prevalences were 5.262%,1.885%,1.000% and 0.200%respectively.Cerebrovaseular diseases showed the highest cause-specific disability prevalence of 2.552% in all the causes.Compared with the national sample survey in 1987,the cause-specific disability prevalences of disease factors and injury factors were obviously increased.The top five disability reasons in the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over in China were cerebrovascular diseases,arthropathy,miscellaneous traumas,other causes and unknown causes in the national sample survey in 2006;while vascular diseases,other traumas,other causes,unknown causes and pyogenic infection were the top five disability reasons in the national sample survey in 1987.The age-specific top five reasons were basically the same with the total top five disability reasons of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over,and also the same relationship between sex-specific top five reasons and Iotal top five disability reasons in 1987 and 2006. Conclusions　Disease factors are the main disability reasons of the elderly with physical disabilities aged 60 years and over,and cerebrovascular diseases have the highest cause specific disability prevalence.The prevention and cure of cerebrovascular diseases,arthropathy and other traumas become the key points to prevent physical disability in the elderly.

Abdominal drainage is the most common technique applied in the abdominal surgery. According to the aim of drainage, it can be divided into curative drainage and preventive drainage, but there is no obvious difference between the 2 drainages. Abdominal drainage is not necessary after parenchymal viscera operation, but necessary after spleenectomy in preventing infection. For cavity viscera operation, abdominal drainage is applied according to the infectious condition, but scholars at home and abroad have different opinions on this point. Surgeons should pay attention to the placement of the drainage tube in patients who received preventive drainage.

To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 305 cases with apoplectic sequela admitted at our general geriatric nursing ward from January 2000 to December 2011.The subjects were divided into 2 groups:hypoalbuminemia and non-hypoalbuminemia.Advanced age (OR =5.624),chronic heart failure (OR =2.298),conscious disturbance (OR =1.575),dysphagia (OR =1.565),complete bedridden (OR=2.874),pneumonia (OR =3.725) and bedsore (OR =5.336) were risk factors for hypoalbuminemia in the patients with apoplectic sequela.And hyperglycemia(OR =0.066)was a protective factor for it.

Colorectal polyps are common digestive system diseases in children. The important role of endoscopy in the di-agnosis and treatment of colorectal polyps in children has been recognized. With the continuous development of endoscopic techniques, the diagnosis and treatment of colorectal polyp has become safer, more convenient and more effective. In this re-view, the progress in endoscopy for diagnosis and treatment of colorectal polyps in children has been summarized.

Objective To explore the hemodynamic changes in the brains of newborns with intracranial hemorrhage.Methods Totally,61 newborns,born in Anyang Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Henan Province,with intracranial hemorrhage diagnosed by ultrasound in early neonatal period,and 50 healthy newborns,also born in the same hospital from December 1,2010 to June30,2012,were selected.Intracranial hemorrhage newborns were graded according to the severity of hemorrhage and divided into mild (n=45) and severe groups (n =7).The peak systolic flow velocity (Vs),end diastolic velocity (Vd),mean flow velocity (Vm) and resistance index (RI) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) and anterior cerebral artery (ACA) of brain were measured by Doppler ultrasound.Ttest was applied for statistical analysis.Results Among the 61 neonates with intracranialhemorrhage,12(19.7％) were grade Ⅰ,42(68.9％) were grade Ⅱ,6(9.8％) were grade Ⅲ,and one (1.6％) was grade Ⅳ.The Vs,Vm and Vd of MCA and ACA in the mild and severe intracranial hemorrhage group were significantly lower than those in the control group,the differences were statistically significant [MCA:(55.1±9.1) cm/s,(53.0±6.5) cm/s vs (60.1± 10.3) cm/s;(34.2±6.1) cm/s,(32.5±5.2) cm/s vs (38.2±6.9) cm/s; (17.1±4.8) cm/s,(15.3± 4.0) cm/svs (20.2±5.3) cm/s.ACA:(41.3±11.7) cm/s,(39.4±9.2) cm/s vs (45.3±9.8) cm/s;(25.2±5.8) cm/s,(23.3±4.9) cm/s vs (28.1±5.9) cm/s;(15.0±3.9) cm/s,(13.2±3.1) cm/s vs (15.9±3.8) cm/s,all P＜0.05].But the RI values were significantly higher in the control group,the differences were statistically significant (MCA:0.70 ± 0.10,0.77 ± 0.07 vs 0.62 ± 0.10 ; ACA:0.67±0.06,0.73±0.08 vs 0.61±0.05;all P＜0.05).TheVs,Vm and Vd of MCA and ACA in the severe intracranial hemorrhage group were significantly lower than in the mild hemorrhage group,while the RI values were significantly higher,and the differences were statistically significant (all P＜0.05).Conclusions Newborns with intracranial hemorrhage have significant hemodynamic changes in the brain and more prominent changes could be found in those with severe intracranial hemorrhage.

Objective To evaluate clinical utility of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in percutaneous liver biopsy of liver occupying lesions.Methods According to intralesional microperfusion situation observed with CEUS,31 of 32 patients with liver occupying lesions underwent liver biopsy under the guidance of conventional ultrasound.Acquirement of adequate quantity of specimen for pathological examination was successfully achieved.Results Of 32 patients with liver occupying lesions,conventional ultrasound indicated intralesional necrosis and liquefaction in 3 patients,while CEUS indicated necrosis and liquefaction in 10 and multiple occupying lesions in 4 patients,of which 1 of the 2 lesions of 1 patient showed a rapid wash-in and washout of a focal contrast agent,the other lesion of the same patient showed synchronized enhancement with liver in all the three phases,and the remaining 3 patients showed rapid wash-in and washout.Of 6 patients conventional ultrasound indicated no blood flow,CEUS showed varying enhancement in 5 patients and no enhancement during all the three phases in 1 patient considered as focal nodular necrosis and did not undergo biopsy.All the 31 patients with liver occupying lesions underwent biopsy in the enhanced area in the arterial phase of CEUS.On the average,each patient was punctured for 2.13 times (66/31) .The successful rate of biopsy was 100% (31/31) .The confirmation rate was 96.80% (30/31) .Conclusion reflecting the situation of microperfusion sensitively,distinguishing necrosis and liquefaction accurately,determining benign or malignant initially and guiding to puncture accurately,CEUS is of grest clinical importance in biopsy of liver occupying lesions.

BACKGROUND:Maxil ary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach is the most effective method of overcoming the shortage of bone mass deficiency in atrophic maxil ary posterior region. Bone transplantation is considered to be a prerequisite for the success of maxil ary sinus floor elevation. Platelet-rich plasma and platelet-rich fibrin have been used to accelerate bone formation, regeneration, and repair. However, few in-depth studies are reported on the effects of concentrated growth factors on new bone formation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of concentrated growth factors applied in maxil ary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement on repair of bone defects and new bone formation. METHODS:This was a randomized double-blind control ed trial, which was performed at the Hospital of Stomatology, Southwest Medical University, China. Forty patients presenting with loss of maxil ary molars and residual bone height of 2-5 mm in the posterior maxil ary region were included in this study. These patients were randomly assigned to either receive concentrated growth factors, hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone (experimental group, n=20) or hydroxyapatite and autogenous bone (control group, n=20) at bone defect sites. X-ray examination was performed 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery to evaluate bone regeneration and repair as per excel ent and good rate. The thickness of the cortical bone at the defect sites was measured using a dental cone beam CT scanner to reflect bone density. The study protocol had been approved by Ethics Committee of Hospital of Stomatology, Southwest Medical University, China, was performed in strict accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, and had been registered with ClinicalTrial.gov (identifier NCT03046173). Written informed consent had been obtained from each patient prior to enrol ment. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:This study was completed in 2016. Study outcomes were obtained as fol ows:X-ray images showed that 3 and 6 months after surgery, bone regeneration around the implant was better in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01) and better bone regeneration in the experimental group was observed at 6 months than at 3 months after surgery. At 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery, bone density at bone defect site was significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01). These results suggest that concentrated growth factors applied in maxil ary sinus floor elevation via a lateral window approach with simultaneous implant placement can promote new bone formation and accelerate synosteosis.
