Objective To explore the application of Duff in treatment for patients with early stage threat ened abortion.Method 1000 patients with early stage threatened abortion admitted from Jan.2015 to Jun.2016 were selected,and were divided into two groups.All patients were treated by conventional therapy and Duff therapy.Treatment effects of the two groups were observed and compared.Results The differences of clinical characteristics between the two groups had no statistical significance (all P＞0.05).No serious adverse reactions oc curred to either group.There was no significant difference in remission and disappearance time of clinical symptoms between the two groups (t=0.334,0.367,all P＞0.05).The total treatment efficiency was higher in the observation group than in the control group,but the differences had no statistical significance (x2=0.058,/P＞0.05).Conclusion There is a certain application value of Duff treatment for early stage threatened abortion,which is safe,efficient,and convenient,worthy of promotion.

Objective To assess sleep quality and daytime sleepiness in patients on maintenance high flux hemodialysis, and discussed the associated factors. Methods A total of 112 high flux hemodialysis patients and 53 normal subjects were estimated by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleep Scale (ESS) to assess the sleep quality and day time sleepiness. Global score of these questionnaires were analyzed. Seven components' scores and 9 reasons for sleep disturbances were compared between "good" (global PSQI ≤5) and "bad" (global PSQI＞5) sleepers. Sleep quality was compared among different shifts of hemodialysis. The impact of clinical factors on sleep quality were analyzed by multivariate linear regression and logistic regression. Results Compared with control group, hemodialysis group had a higher PSQI (7.02±4.94 vs 3.28±2.79, P＜0.05) and a lower ESS score [3(0-6) vs 8(4.25-11.75), P＜0.05] . 58% patients were "bad" sleepers and sleep latency was longer (30 min vs 15 min, P＜0.05). Insomnia was the main problem. Patients on morning shift, afternoon shift and night shift had similar subjective sleep quality. Age (OR=1.75, P=0.003), dialysis vintage (OR=1.26, P=0.008),hemoglobin (OR=0.64, P=0.008), calcium phosphate product (OR=1.60, P=0.02) were significantly related to sleep quality score. Conclusions Sleep disturbance is common in hemodialysis patients. Older age, longer dialysis vintage, anemia and higher calcium phosphate product are risk factors for poor sleep quality.
