Objective To evaluate the effect of the electronic anti-nausea instrument on the postoperative nausea and vomiting of patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.Methods One hundred and eighty patients for gynecological laparoscopic surgery were enrolled and randomized into 2 groups with 90 patients in each.Patients in group T accepted patient-control transcutaneous elec-troacupoint stimulation at P6 (Neiguan)point from the time before the induction of anesthesia to 24 h after surgery.Patients in group C accepted the same device of electronic anti-nausea instrument with-out transcutaneous acupoint stimulation.Data were recorded of the nausea and vomiting in postopera-tive 2,6,12 and 24 h respectively.Results The incidence and severity of nausea at 6,12 and 24 h and vomiting at 6,24 h after operation in group T were both lower than those in group C(P < 0.05 ). Conclusion With patient-control transcutaneous acupoint stimulation at P6 point,the incidence of both early PONV and late PONV are reduced in patients with gynecological laparoscopic surgery.

Objective To explore correlation between alexithymia and resilience in military personnel.Methods 2802 subjects were chosen by random cluster sampling to outline the military personnel resilience scale and military alexithymia scale.The data were analyzed by t-test,chi-square test,ANOVA,correlation analysis and multiple linear regressions analysis.Results The prevalence rate of alexithymia was 6.85％,while resilience was 6.60％.Compared to sea force (45.62 ± 11.25 ) and air force (45.32 ± 9.98 ) subjects,land force (47.92 ± 9.92)had significantly higher total score in alexithymia(P＜ 0.05 ).Compared to sea force (87.35 ± 12.15 ) and air force ( 88.58 ± 10.39 ) subjects,land force ( 85.73 ± 10.70) had significantly lower total score in resilience(P ＜ 0.05 ).The total score and every factor score of subjects with alexithymia were significant lower than those of control group in resilience(P ＜ 0.05 ).Every factor of Resilience Scale were mild negative correlation with every factor of Alexithymia Scale (P＜0.01).Problem solving,volition,optimism and family supports were the main factors which had affected on the alexithymia.Conclusion The prevalence rate of alexithymia in military personnel is lower than ordinary people,but there are still issues in alexithymia and resilience,particularly in land force.The research show mild correlation between alexithymia and resilience in military personnel.

Objective To reduce the screening positive rate (SPR) and improve clinical efficiency of maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome.Methods Nine thousand and thirty-three cases of second trimester maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome were included from Apr.2013 to Apr.2014 in the present study.The screening results,all basic data and equation curves were analyzed retrospectively.Based on the data from the authors' laboratory,the important adjustment parameters were simulated.Combined with postnatal follow-up results,the quality and clinical performance of second trimester serum screening for Down's syndrome were evaluated.Results The SPR of second trimester serum screening for Down's syndrome was 6.69％(604/9033),the detection rate (DR) was 75％(3/4),and FPR was 6.65％(601/9033).The median multiple of median (MOM) of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was low and SPR was high,and MOM of free human chorionic gonadotropin β subunit (free hCGβ) were high and SPR was high,while MOM of unconjugated estriol (uE3) were a little bit low,and SPR was slightly high.Considering these three factors,it is believed that the screening positive rate is high.By the simulation adjustments of MOM value equations (AFP and free hCGβ) and weight correction equation,the SPR reduced to 4.11％(371/9033) after recalculating the risk,FPR declined to 4.07％(368/9033),and no more Down's syndrome fetus were missed compared with postnatal follow-up results.Conclusion Based on a localized setting depending on the local laboratory data,we suggest that the MOM value distributions(AFP,free hCGβ and uE3) and maternal weight should be regularly adjusted since it is a useful way to reduce the false-positive rate and improve clinical efficiency of maternal serum screening for Down's syndrome.

Objective To evaluate the growth inhibition and apoptosis of human monocytic leukemia THP-1 cell line by using 5,8-dimethyl-2-β-hydroxyisovalerylshikonin (SK36) and explore its preliminary mechanism. Methods CCK colorimetric assay and cell counting was used to examine the growth inhibition of shikonin on THP-1 cells. The apoptosis of THP-1 cells was detected by Annexin V/PI double labeling. The activation of Caspase-3 apoptosis pathway was determined by FCM. The apoptosis and the necrosis of THP-1 cells were detected by the laser scanning confocal microscopy. Results When the THP-1 cells were treated with SK36 at 1.02 μg/ml for 24 h and 48 h, the growth inhibition was dose-dependent. The cell apoptotic rate of THP-1 cells treated with 1.02 μg/ml evaluated by FCM with Annexin V/PI double labeling staining were (40.61 ±2.13) % and (67.40±9.15) % at 24 h and 48 h after treatment, respectively, which were significantly higher than that of the control group [(16.97±0.61) %] ([ = 18.444, t = 9.528, P <0.01). SK36 could induce THP-1 cells apoptosis involving the activation of Caspase-3 (F= 323.61, P<0.01). Conclusion SK36 can induce human THP-1 cells to undergo apoptosis, and its primary mechanism was to activate the Caspase-3.

Objective To investigate the clinical outcome of arthroscopic percutaneous cannulated screw fixation with subtalar fusion in the treatment of post-traumatic subtalar arthritis. Methods The study involved 12 patients (five males and seven females) with severe post-traumatic subtalar arthritis admitted to our hospital from April 2006 to December 2009. The patients were at age range of 28-68 years ( mean 45.6 years). All patients had the history of conservative treatment but failed in pain alleviation.Then, the percutaneous cannulated screw fixation plus subtalar fusion was selected. The ande and hind foot of all patients were evaluated preoperatively and postoperatively by the American Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scoring system. Imaging assessment was carried out by X-ray examination.Results The patients were followed up for mean 21.2 months (range 6-48 months), which showed thatthe mean AOFAS ankle-hindfoot scale was increased from (54.67 ± 5.28 ) points (range 43-61 points)preoperatively to (89.17 ±3.56) points (range 78-95 points) at final follow-up, with excellence rate of 93%. Eleven patients got good fusion with the mean time of 12.4 weeks (range 9-15 weeks). Only one patient had nonunion, with the pain in the lateral malleolus. The subtalar joint of the patient got union after plaster immobilization for three months, which was proved by X-ray examination. Conclusions The arthroscopic percutaneous cannulated screw fixation and subtalar fusion can acquire good clinical outcomes and hence is a recommended procedure for post-traumatic subtalar arthritis.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the early clinical effects of transforaminal endoscopic spine system (TESSYS) for the treatment of bilateral lumbar disc herniation in single segment. METHODS: The clinical data of 38 patients with single-segment bilateral lumbar disc herniation treated by TESSYS technique from February 2016 to February 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 26 males and 12 females, aged from 30 to 55 years old with an average of(35.2±6.4) years, 6 cases of L₃,₄, 22 cases of L₄,₅, and 10 cases of L₅S₁1. Using the intervertebral foramen endoscope produced by Joimax GmbH, Germany, under local anesthesia, bilateral puncture to the outside of the intervertebral foramen of the diseased segment, four-stage dilatation catheter to complete the progressive enlargement of the intervertebral foramen, and the ring saw progressively enlarge the intervertebral foramen. The bilateral foramen was placed and the herniated nucleus was removed until the nerve root was completely released. Postoperatively, the patients were reviewed on regular outpatient visits and telephone follow-ups. Visual analogue scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) were compared before operation and after operation at 1, 3, 6, 12 months respectively. At the final follow-up, according to modified MacNab criteria to evaluate the clinical effect. RESULTS: Thirty-six patients underwent successful surgery and were followed up for more than 12 months. The ODI score and VAS score of the lower extremities pain at 1, 3, 6, 12 months after operation were obviously improved (<0.05), there was significant difference between 1, 3 months and 6, 12 months after operation(<0.05), there was no significant difference between 1 and 3 months, between 6 and 12 months after operation (>0.05). At the final follow-up, according to MacNab criteria, 14 cases got excellent results, 16 good, 4 fair, 2 poor. CONCLUSIONS Using TESSYS technique to remove the bilateral herniated nucleus from single segment can fully decompress for the nerve root, and can be effectively applied to patients with single-segment bilateral lumbar disc herniation.

Objective To investigate pathogenic genes related to the phenotype of fetus with severely short limbs in the first and second trimester by whole exome sequencing (WES). Methods Thirteen fetuses with severely short limbs detected by ultrasonography in the first and second trimester admitted in Chinese PLA General Hospital from September 2016 to June 2018 were collected. All cases were performed induced abortion, 6 of which were carried out karyotype analysis of amniotic fluid at the same time. WES and copy number variations (CNV) were performed on specimens from fetal tissues after labor induction. The suspected pathogenic mutations were validated by Sanger sequencing reactions. Results No abnormal karyotypes or pathological CNV were found. In 10 fetuses, pathogenic or possibly pathogenic mutations were detected in the following genes: COL2A1, FGFR3, COL1A1, COL1A2, DYNC2LI1 and TRIP11, all of which were essential to skeletal development. The diagnostic yield of WES in the fetuses with severe short limbs was 10/13. Conclusions In the first and second trimester, most of the fetuses with extremely short limbs suffer from monogenic diseases. WES is likely to be a valuable diagnostic testing option for the fetuses with severe short limbs.
