1.Screening for thyroid disease in pregnancy
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2013;(1):36-39
Abnormal thyroid function is high risk for pregnancy.Studies from clinical observation and animal experiments have indicated that maternal sub clinical hypothyroidism during the first gestational term may lead to impairment of brain development of offspring,and early diagnosis and effective treatment may prevent the damage.Therefore,it is suggested that screening thyroid function before gestational 8 weeks in pregnant women is initiated.The changes in thyroid function during pregnancy are related to these changes in maternal thyroid physiology can lead to confusion in the diagnosis or evaluation of thyroid abnormalities.Establishment of trimester-specific reference ranges is urgently needed.Local iodine nutritional statue and testing reagent effect the measured value of thyroid function in general population,so it is recommend that all regions and hospitals should establish their own pregnancy reference ranges.

Objective To explore the effect of hyperglycemia on the survival time, duration of disease remission and complications during induction chemotherapy for acute lymphocytic leukemia(ALL). Methods The treatment-related complications in 98 adult ALL patients with or without hyperglycemia were retrospectively analyzed. Survival time and complete remission duration(CRD) were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier method. Cox regression analysis was used to examine whether hyperglycemia was an independent predictor of disease recurrence and death. Results ALL patients with hyperglycemia were found to be older, and more likely to occur thrombocytopenia. ALL patients with hyperglycemia had a shorter CRD and survival time, and were more likely to develop infection and neuropathy. Conclusion Hyperglycemia during induction chemotherapy for ALL increased the frequency of infection and the risk of disease recurrence and death.

Objective To compare the efficacy and side effect between Paracetamol and Tramadol Hydrochloride Tablet and Paracetamol and Dihydrocodeine Tartrate Tablet on chronic pain. Methods From October, 2013 to October, 2015, 84 patients with chronic pain were divided into group A (n=42) and group B (n=42), who took two Tramadol tablets or Dihydrocodeine Tartrate tablets, three times a day orally for five days. They were assessed with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), and the incidence of satisfaction and side effect were in-vestigated. Results The score of NRS decreased in both groups after treatment (t>9.402, P<0.001), and there was no significantly difference between them (t=0.461, P=0.941). No significant difference was observed in incidence of pain relief and satisfaction between two groups (χ2=0.979, P=0.323). The incidence of constipation (χ2=5.864, P=0.006) and abdominal distention (χ2=9.946, P=0.002) were less in group A than in group B, but the incidence of nausea was more (χ2=4.934, P=0.026), while the incidence of dizziness, vomiting and tiredness was no significantly different between two groups (χ2<1.451, P>0.061). Conclusion The analgesic efficacy is similar of both drugs, but different in side effects of gastrointestine.

To study the spontaneous rehabilitation and phonation quality of vocal cords after different types of CO2 laser microsurgery.
METHOD:
Surgical procedures based on Remacle system Type I, Type II, Type III, Type IV and Type V a respectively. Three hundred and fifteen cases with hoarseness based on strobe laryngoscopy results were prospectively assigned to different group according to vocal lesions apperence,vocal vibration and imaging of larynx CT/MRI. Each group holded 63 cases. The investigation included the vocal cords morphological features,the patients' subjective feelings and objective results of vocal cords.
RESULT:
There are no severe complications for all patients in perioperative period. Vocal scar found in Type I ,1 case; Type II, 9 cases ;Type III, 47 cases; Type IV, 61 cases and Type Va 63 cases respectively after surgery. The difference of Vocal scar formation after surgery between surgical procedures are statistical significance (χ2 = 222.24, P < 0.05). Hoarseness improved after the surgery in 59 cases of Type I , 51 cases of Type II, 43 cases of Type III, 21 cases of Type IV and 17 cases of Type Va. There are statistically significance (χ2 = 89.46, P < 0.05) between different surgical procedures. The parameters of strobe laryngoscope: there are statistical significance on jitter between procedures (F 44.51, P < 0.05), but without difference within Type I and Type II (P > 0.05). This happened in shimmer parameter and the maximum phonation time (MPT) as jitter. There are no statistical significance between Type IV and Type Va on MPT (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
Morphological and functional rehabilitation of vocal cord will be affected obviously when the body layer is injured. The depth and range of the CO2 laser microsurgery are the key factors affecting the vocal rehabilitation.
