OBJECTIVE: To investigate the postoperative application of nasopharyngeal airway (NPA) in rhinogenous obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) patients, so that to observe the parameters including vital signs of the patients and evaluatethe value of clinical application and reliability of NPA. METHOD: A total of 216 patients diagnosed as rhinogenous OSAHS were randomly assigned to experimental group (setting NPA, 112 cases) and control group (not setting NPA, 104 cases) according to whether NPA was placed in the nasal cavity postoperatively. ECG, oxygen saturation and hemodynamics were monitored for 24 h postoperatively. The pharyngeal pain and discomfort, low oxygen saturation and hemodynamics were compared between these two groups. The subjective assessment and clinical symptoms were compared between the two groups using visual analogue scale (VAS). RESULT: The experimental group showed better relief of nasal obstruction, nasal pain, headache, dry pharynx, insomnia and pain while taking out nasal packing compared with control group, where the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01). In the experimental group, the level of LSa2O2 (P < 0.05), HR (P < 0.01), SBP (P < 0.05), DBP (P < 0.01), MAP (P < 0.01) and RPP (P < 0.01) was significantly lower than in the control group. CONCLUSION The postoperative application of nasopharyngeal airway in rhinogenous OSAHS patients could help to keep nasal patency and avoid the upper airway obstruction, which exhibited good safety and compliance. The nasopharyngeal airway can reduce patients' discomfort and improve hyoxemia, ensuring hemodynamic stability.

Purpose Median arcuate ligament (MAL) compression is the most common reason for celiac artery stenosis or occlusion, celiac artery compression of asymptomatic MAL is often misdiagnosed. This study aims to evaluate the multi-slice spiral CT manifestations of the celiac artery compression of median arcuate ligament. Materials and Methods CT features of 26 patients with celiac artery compression of median arcuate ligament were retrospectively studied. Eleven cases were symptomatic and fifteen cases were asymptomatic. Results In 14 cases (53.8%), the location of compression was at the level of superior 1/3 of the L1 vertebral body. There was statistic difference in location of the origin of compression between the celiac artery narrowing group and the non-narrowing group (P<0.05). CT manifestations included: narrowing of the celiac artery were observed in 26 patients on sagittal reformatted images with hollow on the anterior wall; a characteristic hooked appearance was observed. Narrowed celiac artery on the transverse images was seen in 21 patients, and a soft-tissue band extending across the anterior aspect of artery in 12 of them. Poststenotic dilatation was revealed in 20 patients. Collateral circulation was seen in 8 patients. Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT can be helpful in demonstrating the location of celiac artery compression of median arcuate ligament and tell the characteristic imaging features.

OBJECTIVETo determine the economic effects on the prevention of dental fear (DF) by pre-operation-education or local anesthesia method during the process of tooth filling.

METHODSOne hundred and fifty school children of age 7 to 12, participating in this study, suffered from occlusal caries on their mandibular first molars. They were divided into 3 groups, with 25 boys and 25 girls each. Group A (pre-operation-education) was showed video tape on caries to, familiarized with clinic environment, including dental chairs and instruments; Group B (local anesthesia) received injection of 1.8 ml of 2% lidocaine for local anesthesia about 15 minutes before treatment; Group C (blank) received no intervention for DF. Thereafter, all subjects received same filling treatment. During that process, each DF case was evaluated blindly based on Venham's clinical ratings of anxiety and cooperation. Cost-minimization analysis was then studied.

RESULTSSignificant difference was found between groups, but not between group A and B in DF rate (5/50, 9/50 and 21/50, chi(2) = 15.503 1, P = 0.000 4). The costs of each case in 3 groups were 83.99 Yuan, 87.09 Yuan and 87.76 Yuan respectively.

CONCLUSIONBetween pre-operation-education and local anesthesia methods, the former was worth promoted for it's better clinical effect in DF prevention with lower cost.

OBJECTIVETo develop a non-pharmacotherapy program for patients with hyperlipidemia and assess its effectiveness.

METHODSA cluster control trial was used. The experimental group was given non-pharmacotherapy for hyperlipidemia once a week for 6 weeks; the content of non-pharmacotherapy included the basic knowledge about hyperlipidemia, a guide of changing unhealthy diet and life-style. Patients were followed for once every two weeks in the department of out-patient. The control group received general care conducted by university clinicians, without the non-pharmacotherapy program. A self-completion questionnaire on hyperlipidemia-related knowledge level, questionnaires on diet and exercise, body weight, body height and the serum TG, TC were measured at entry point and at the end of 6 month.

RESULTSOne hundred and fifty-four patients in experimental group and 150 patients in control group completed the study. The non-pharmacotherapy group showed a significant increase of knowledge on hyperlipidemia in the experimental group comparing with the control group: the mean (sd) score of hyperlipidemia-related knowledge were 22.5 (4.8), 17.4 (4.2) (95% CI: 4.1, 6.1). The diet score and the proportion of regular physical activity had increased 27.20%, 21.78% respectively in experimental group. The mean (sd) of serum TG, TC and body mass index (BMI) for experimental group [2.0 (0.9) mmol/L, 5.4 (0.9) mmol/L, 23.4 (1.9)] lowered significantly comparing to those for control group [2.4 (0.9) mmol/L, 5.9 (1.0) mmol/L, 24.2 (3.0)].

CONCLUSIONNon-pharmacotherapy seemed to be an important intervention for the patients with hyperlipidemia. If same patients with hyperlipidemia failed to respond to non-pharmacotherapy, it is necessary to use pharmacotherapy. However, non-pharmacotherapy should be viewed as basic therapy.

Rare bleeding disorders (RBD) are autosomal recessive inherited diseases caused by one or more coagulation factor defects, including the deficiency of fibrinogen (FG), prothrombin, factor (F)V, Ⅶ, Ⅹ，Ⅺ, Ⅷ and so on. Due to the low prevalence of RBD, and lack of large-scale randomized controlled studies in the world, where are great challenges to clinicians in diagnosis and treatment of this series of diseases. Facing in the heterogeneity of clinical phenotype and laboratory characteristics, it is more necessary to strengthen the communication and cooperation between the clinical and laboratory, realizing comprehensive management.

Objective To investigate the value of high frequency magnetoencephalography signals in the localization of refractory temporal lobe epilepsy. Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in 10 patients with refractory temporal lobe epilepsy admitted to and accepted surgery in our hospital from January 2015 to December 2015. Surgical approaches of these patients were determined according to the results of long-term video EEG monitoring (VEEG), MR imaging, and conventional and high-frequency magnetoencephalography (MEG). MEG positioning analysis was performed after the surgery; followed up for 12 months was performed to evaluate the surgical efficacies. Results The surgery was effective in all the 10 patients; 5 patients achieved Engel grading Ⅰ, 2 patients achieved Engel grading Ⅱ, and 3 patients achieved Engel grading Ⅲ. The results of high-frequency MEG analysis indicated that 8 lesions were consistent with the surgical sites, enjoying good results; while the positioning error of the 2 patients was large. Conclusions The localization analysis of high-frequency neuromagnetic signals has the potential to determine epileptogenic zones preoperatively for epilepsy surgery. High-frequency oscillation is a new biomarker for the diagnosis of epilepsy.
