ObjectiveTo study the effect of hyperbaric oxygenation (HBO) treatment on post-stoke depression (PSD) and neurological functional rehabilitation.Methods60 patients with PSD were randomly divided into two groups, treatment group and control group. Patients in the treatment group were given HBO treatment in addition to the regular treatment. Changes of scores of Hamilton depression (HAMD), Chinese stroke scale (CSS), and activity of daily living (ADL) before and after treatment in two groups were observed and evaluated.ResultsAfter 1 month treatment scores of HAMD, CSS, and ADL in the treatment group got obviously better results than before treatment (P<0.01). While scores in the control group had no significant difference(P>0.05).Conclusions It is suggested that HBO may improve the depressive symptom and neurological functional rehabilitation in PSD patients.

Objective To Optimize the mandibular CT scanning methods with changing the scanning position,to reduce the radiation dosage.Methods Totally 50 consecutive patients with mandibular CT examination were enrolled in the study and divided into position-optimized group and routine group (n =25,respectively) randomly.The image quality,volume CT-dose index (CTDIvol),scanning length,and dose length product (DLP) were compared.Results There was no significant difference in subjective image quality and CTDIvol between two groups.But the scanning length and DLP in positionoptimized group were significantly reduced by about 20 ％ (t =4.986,P ＜ 0.05) and 16％ (t =3.682,P ＜0.05) compared with routine group.The lens were out of scanning field with the position-optimized protocol.Conclusions The scanning length would be efficiently reduced and the lens avoided with the position-optimized protocol,which would subsequently reduce the effective radiation dose.

Objective To investigate the relationship between axon degeneration of Goll’s column system and Amyloid ? protein (A?) deposit sludge. Methods A? protein deposition in area of axon degeneration of Goll’s columns was measured by using immunohistochemical method.Results There was found strong positive round like A? deposit in the area of axon degeneration of Goll’s column system of GAD mouse. Spheroid appeared in the area of medullar nucleus of the Goll's column system at an age of 4 weeks. However the A? was negative and 9 weeks later, it became positive in partial spheroid and formed a strong round like material and became more and more standing up with age increase. The material mentioned above appeared consistently progressive in degeneration of axon in sequence.Conclusion It was suggested that the deposition of A? should be the result secondary to degeneration of nervous axon and be closely correlated with axon degeneration.

Objective In order to enhance the understanding of Churg- Strauss syndrome, the clinical manifestations and the pathological features of 15 patients were reviewed. Methods The clinical and patho- logical findings of 15 patients with Churg- Strauss syndrome admitted to Peking Union Medical College Hospi- tal were retrospectively analysed. Results In 15 cases, the initial clinical manifestations were poly- mononeu- ropathy, gastrointestinal disorders and skin lesions. Peripheral eosinophilia was significant in all cases. Biopsies were taken in all cases. The typical pathological features usually demonstrated in diffiferent stage of the dis- ease. Conclusions If a patient shows a clinical manifestation of fever, skin lesions, neuropathy, abdominal pain and diarrhea, as well as eosinophilia in peripheral blood, the diagnosis of Churg- Strauss syndrome should be considered. It is necessary to take biopsies from several sites at different time.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of compound kushen injection (CKI)in the treatment for patients with advanced liver cancers.Methods Relevantly randomized controlled trials from China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI),Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database (VIP),Wanfang Data,and Pubmed were searched until November,2014.Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of supportive care compared with combined therapy of CKI in the treatment for patients with advanced liver cancers were included.The methodological quality of RCTs was assessed independently with bias risk according to the Cochrane collaboration.All data were analyzed with the Review Manager 5.3.Results Eight RCTs involving 472 patients were included.The meta-analysis results suggested that the shortterm efficacy of the treatment group be higher (P =0.008) and that the pain relief be a significant benefit in the treatment group (P ＜0.01).Adverse reactions were not observed.Conclusions CKI is an effective and safe adjuvant drug for advanced liver cancers.

Objective To study the value of CT diagnosis of atraumatic acute abdominal disease and how to select CT scan rationally.Methods The CT findings of 319 cases of atraumatic acute abdominal disease were reviewed restrospectively.Results Of 319 cases,226 cases of non-traumatic acute abdomen had positive findings on CT,the positive rate was 70.84%.Of them,the diseases included:urinary tract system in 63 cases,bile system in 62 cases,pancreas in 41 cases,gastro-intestinal system in 37 cases and others in 23 cases.The positive rate of CT findings was higher with aging in non-traumatic acute abdomen.Conclusion CT is of diagnostic value in atraumatic acute abdominal disease.

Objective To evaluate surgical complications and outcomes based on prostate size in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) treated with plasmakinetic enucleation of prostate (PKEP).Methods A retrospective review was conducted of PKEP performed in 326 patients with BPH.According to the prostate size on preoperative transrectal ultrasonography measurement,patients were divided into three groups:groupl:＜40ml (n =92),group2:40～80ml (n =155),and group3:＞80ml (n =79).Intraoperative and perioperative parameters were evaluated.Patient perioperative data and postoperative outcomes were compared.Patients were followed up at 1,3,6 and 12 months after surgery.Early and late complications were recorded.Results There were significant differences among three groups regarding the mean operative time (P ＜ 0.01) and the mean resected tissue weight (P ＜ 0.01).However,enucleation efficiency (P ＜ 0.01) in gm tissue per minute increased significantly as prostate size increased.Mean hemoglobin decrease (P ＞0.05),mean serum sodium decrease (P ＞0.05),mean postoperative irrigation time (P ＞ 0.05),mean catheter time (P ＞ 0.05) and mean hospital stay (P ＞0.05) did not differ significantly among three groups.Three groups had a similar and significant postoperative improvement in international prostate symptom score (IPSS),quality of life (QOL),maximum urine rate (Qmax),and post-void residual urine volume(PVR) independent of prostate size (P ＜ 0.01),but no significant difference was found among three groups during 1,3,6 and 12-month follow-up (P ＞ 0.05).Perioperative and postoperative complications did not depend on prostate size (P ＞ 0.05).Conchsions Although patients with a larger BPH required significantly longer operation time in PKEP,prostate size did not affect perioperative and postoperative complications or micturition improvement.
