Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of small dose Urapidil in the treatment of patients with congestive heart failure. Methods 60 patients with congestive heart failure (NYHA class Ⅲ～Ⅳ) were randomly assigned to treatment with Urapidil (n=30) and Nitroglycerin (n=30). Intravenous Urapidil (100?g/min) or Nitroglycerin (10～20?g/min) was administered for 5～7 days in addition to ordinary treatment. Heart rate, blood pressure were measured and echocardiography was performed before and after the treatment. And side effects were recorded. Results The total effective rate was 86 7% in the Urapidil group, and 90% in Nitroglycerin group. No significant differences of heart rate and blood pressure were found after treatment between two groups. The ejection fraction measured by echocardiography increased significantly in two groups after the treatment, but more significantly in the Urapidil group. Conclusions It is efficacious, safe and well tolerated for intravaneus small dose Urapidil to treat congestive heart failure.

Objective To analyze the features of drowning victim s with psychiatric disorders to support further investigation on such cases. Methods O ne hundred and five archives of drowning victim s with psychiatric disorders from January 2010 to June 2014 in H arbor Public Security Subbureau, Shanghai Public Security B ureau were reviewed. The decedents’ general inform ation, autopsy findings, case inves-tigation data and disease histories were statistically analyzed. Results O f the 105 cases, 104 were sui-cides. Most decedents were poorly educated. Most suicides occurred in warm clim ate, and the corpses were usually found within 2 days. Most decedents had no suicide history and notes, but had abnorm al m ental or behavior changes before suicide. D epression, depression status and schizophrenia were the m ain types of psychiatric disorders, and only 9 decedents had received regular therapies before their deaths. Conclusion Mental disorder is a high risk factor in the drowning victim s. G uardians should be aware of psychotic abnorm al behaviors, especially during warm clim ate seasons.

Objective To investigate palmar hyperhidrosis (PH) and the effects on mental health in a military command.Methods 26 392 soldiers were enrolled in this study by stratified-cluster random sampling.Each was required to complete a self-administered questionnaire regarding PH.The soldiers were assessed with symptom checklist-90 (SCL-90) and the factor scores were compared with army norm and civilian norm.Results A total of 25680 subjects fulfilled the questionnaires,and the response rate was 97.3％.The prevalence of PH in the survey sample was 2.66％ and the mild,moderate,and severe PH were 1.49％,0.83％,and 0.34％,respectively.The total mean score of SCL-90 in soldiers with PH (1.72±0.54) was higher than those none PH soldiers (1.65±0.58),civilian norm (1.49±0.41) and military norm (1.63±0.30).Multiple regression analysis showed that age,level of education and severity of PH were important factors for mental health of soldiers with PH (P＜0.05).Conclusion PH is more common in the military,which affect the mental health.The health service departments should pay attention to the treatment and psychological intervention of PH.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of endovascular embolization combined with two-stage stereotacticradiosurgery (SRS)for the treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformation (AVM). Methods From January 2010 to December 2012,the clinical data of 66 patients treated with endovascular embolization combined with two-stage SRS AVM comprehensive therapy at the Department of Neurosurgery,Changhai Hospital,the Second Military Medical University were analyzed retro-spectively. They were followed up by imaging. The followed-up time was 7 to 96 months. DSA revealed that the complete disappearance of vascular flow void shadow was regarded as a cure. The patients were divided into either a cured group (n = 29)or a not cured group (n = 37)according whether they were cured or not. The effects of different factors,such as AVM rupture or not,the volume size before embolization,and the degree of embolization on the cure rate of AVM with the comprehensive therapy were observed in both groups,and logistic regression was used to analyze the factors affecting the cure rate of comprehensive therapy. Results (1)There were 22 patients (75. 9%)had ruptured AVMs and 7 (24. 1%)had unruptured AVMs in the cured group. The diameters of the aneurysms < 3 cm and ≥3 cm were in 26 (89. 7%)and 3 (10. 3%)cases respectively. Spetzler-Martin (SM)grades of patients were Ⅰ to Ⅲ. In the not cured group,20 patients (54. 1%)had ruptured AVMs and 17 (45. 9%)had unruptured AVMs. The diameters< 3 cm and ≥3 cm were 18 (48. 6%)and 19 patients (51. 4%)respectively. The SM grade in 34 cases were Ⅰ to Ⅲ. (2)During the follow-up period,29 patients (43. 9%)achieved cure on imaging. The modified Rankin scale (mRS)scores in 64 cases (97%)were 0 to 1. Six patients had complications. (3)Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the size of AVM (OR,0. 141,95% CI 0. 035 -0. 570,P < 0. 01)and the degree of interventional embolization (OR,2. 414,95% CI 1. 038 -5. 613,P <0. 05)were the influencing factor of the cure rate. Conclusions Vascular interventional embolization in combination with SRS for the treatment of intracranial AVMs was both effective and safe. The diameter of AVM < 3 cm was the beneficial factor of cure rate of comprehensive therapy. The degree of interventional embolization not reaching cure on imaging was a risk factor for the cure rate of comprehensive therapy.
