With six injects with two brands were selected as the subjects and an electronic pump for measuring, flow test was carried out with the brands marked on the pump or not. There was significant difference between the flows from the syringe pumps marked with the injector brands and those without the mark of the brands. The sterile injector has to be set before using the syringe pump.

Objective　This study was to investigate the Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) infection rate in cervical secretion of early pregnant and secondary sterility women. Method　CT-DNA in the cervical secretion of the early pregnant, the secondary sterility, and the control women was detected with polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Results　The infection rates of CT in the early pregnant and secondary sterility women （14.28% and 13.33%）were higher than in the control women (3.33%, P<0.05),and there was no significant difference between the former two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion　There are higher infection rates in the early pregnant and secondary sterility women.Detecting CT and treating in the perinatal period are needed in the early pregnant women who want to be pregnant again.

Metformin has been applied for 50 year.In recent years,new studies found that metformin could reduce glucose through activating inhibition of dipeptidyl peptidase Ⅳ(DPP Ⅳ) and enhancing the biological effect of glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1).In addition,metformin can reduce vascular disease risk of patients with type 2 diabetes by improving insulin resistance and the effect of reducing total cholesterol(TC),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),blood coagulation factor Ⅶ,plasminogen activator inhibitor-1(PAI-1) and proteinuria.Merformin can't change blood pressure of patients with type 2 diabetes,however,it can significantly reduce the salt-sensitive blood pressure of patients with obesity.Metformin has also been applied to patients with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).It can induce ovulation,decrease the rate of abortion and have effect on hypertrichosis and hyperandrogenism.Besides,metformin has been the focus of the treatment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic factors of predicting the outcome of Graves disease (GD) after treatment with antithyroid drugs.MethodsA retrospective audit was performed for 306 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed GD.They were divided into successful and failure groups (including recurrent and non-stop subgroups )according to the treatment outcomes.Different prognostic factors after treatment with antithyroid drugs were compared and the state of thyrotropin suppression was observed as the euthyroid state at Months 3,6 and 12 respectively.ResultsAmong them,141patients (46.1％ ) were cured and 165 patients (53.9％) had treatment failures.Age at the time of diagnosis was (46 ±10) years in the successful group and (36 ±9) years in the failure group(t =3.152,P =0.002).Free T3 ( FT3 ) was (25.2 ±8.9) and ( 18.7 ±9.4) pmol/L in the failure and successful groups respectively (t =3.326,P =0.001).The FT3 to FT4 ratio and thyrotrophin receptor antibody (TRAb) levels were higher in the failure group ( t =3.331,3.389,P =0.001).Logistic regression analysis showed that thyroid size,FT3 to FT4 ratio and TRAb at the time of diagnosis were associated with failure outcomes.The ratio of continuing thyrotropin suppression in the recurrent subgroup was more than that in the successful group ( X2 =77.515,114.441,136.232,all P ＜ 0.01).ConclusionsThe GD patients with a large thyroid size and high pre-mediation levels of TRAb and FT3 to FT4 ratio are more prone to respond unfavorably to antithyroid drug treatment.And those with a large thyroid size and post-medication ophthalmopathy and continuing thyrotropin suppression have a high rate of recurrence.

Objective To explore the effect of manipulation on muscle tension and motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods 80 children with spastic cerebral palsy were divided into observation group and control group with 40 cases in each group.Both groups were treated with exercise, acupuncture, electrotherapy, Chinese medicine steam bath. The observation group received massage treatment before and during exercise treatment. Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) and Gross Motor Function Measure-88 (GMFM-88) were used to evaluate the muscle tension and motor function. Results 3 months after treatment, the MAS score decreased and the score of GMFM-88 increased significantly in both groups (P<0.001), and the MAS score was lower, and the score of GMFM-88 was higher in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.001). Conclusion Manipulation can further improve the muscle tension and the motor function of children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of monochromatic energy image spectral CT in active small bowel bleeding and to screen the optimal energy level that indicates active bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract.Methods The bleeding model was established using the small intestines of pigs in vitro.Seven blood flow rates were simulated:0.500,0.400,0.300,0.200,0.100,0.050,0.025 ml/min,respectively.For each rate,a GE Discovery HD750 CT scanner was used in GSI scan mode and 64 slice CT was performed,with a delay of 15 s and 40 s simulated the arterial phase and portal venous phase,respectively.Each out of the blood flow rate in the 2 modes was respectively scanned 5 times.The GSI reconstruction platform was employed to obtain 7 monochromatic energy images(40,50,60,70,80,90,100 keV).A set of polychromatic energy images was obtained from an ordinary scan.The detection rates of the contrast agent exudation regions using the two scanning methods were compared.The contrast to noise ratios(CNR) for the contrast agent exudation regions were measured.Randomized block analysis of Variance was performed to compare the differences in CNR between energy levels.The x2 test was used to compare the detection rates obtained from the 2 scanning methods.Results The detection rates for energy spectral CT and 64 slice CT in the arterial phase were 31/35 and 23/35,respectively; there was significant difference(x2=5.185,P=0.023).The total detection rates of portal venous phase were 35/35 and 32/35,respectively,there was no significant difference(x2=l.393,P=0.238).On the ordinary scan mode,the detection rates of arterial and portal venous phase difference was statistically significant(x2 =6.873,P =0.009);but on the GSI scan mode,there was no significant difference(x2=2.386,P=0.122). The CNR values at 8 group energy levels for arterial phase and portal venous phase were statistically different(respectively P＜ 0.05),the CNR value of the contrast agent exudation regions at 50 keV and 60 keV monochromatic energy images on the GSI scan mode higher than that of polychromatic energy images,the difference was statistically significant(respectively P＜0.05),the CNR in portal venous phase images were higher than that of arterial at all energy groups,differences were statistically significant(t=-3.996 to-2.380,respectively P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Monochromatic energy image spectral CT demonstrates superiority over polychromatic energy images in detecting active bleeding of the gastrointestinal tract.The optimal monochromatic energy value for detection was between 50 keV and 60 keV,and the detection was easier in the portal venous phase than in the arterial phase.
