Objective To evaluate the MDCT and MRI findings of the ovarian thecofibroma.Methods 15 patients with 16 lesions of ovarian thecofibroma confirmed by pathology after surgery were analyzed retrospectively.MDCT was performed in 1 2 patients and MRI in 8.Results 16 lesions were all unilateral,of which 1 patient had 2 lesions on the same side.10 lesions were located in the right side of ovary,while 6 ones were in the left side.The shape of more lesions was round or oval,and that of huge lesions was lobulated. 14 lesions were well-defined.These tumors were solid in 4 lesions,mixed in 9,and cystic in 3.The largest diameter of tumors ranged from 20 to 220 mm with a mean value of (89±58.29)mm.Plain MDCT showed the substantial part of tumors with iso-den-sity or slight lower density with the mean CT value of (40±8)HU.There was no or slight enhancement in comparison with the mean CT values of (49±9)HU on enhanced MDCT.5 lesions with isointensity and 3 with slight hypointensity on T1-weighted ima-ges,and all the tumors with heterogeneous signal on T2-weighted images were found.6 lesions appeared isointensity with obscure nebulous high signal on T2-weighted.The capsules of 5 lesions showed incomplete ring with lower signal.There was high signal ring outside of tumor capsule on T2-weighted in 5 lesions.All of 8 lesions were enhanced slightly,and the cystic portion was lower signal on T1-weighted images and high signal on T2-weighted images.Among all patients,ascites was found in 10 cases (66.7%)and other kinds of tumors of ovarian or uterus in 13 cases (86.7%).Conclusion MDCT and MRI findings of the ovarian thecofibroma have cer-tain characteristics,which is helpful for the diagnosis and differential diagnosis.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the situation of essential medicines and promote their rational use in our hospital. METHODS:The prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in outpatient department in the two halves years of 2013 in our hospital(eye and ENT specialized hospitals)were compared;the medicines with forefront prescription kind percent-ages in eye and ENT departments were sorted and rankings in 4 quarters were compared. RESULTS:After the approval of the Na-tional Essential Medicine List(2012 edition),compared with the first half year of 2013,prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in outpatient department in the second half year were significantly increased (P<0.01). Prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in eye department in the second half year were significantly increased(P<0.01),in the top 20 prescription variety,totally 2 kinds were contained by the list 2012 edition and 3 were contained by the supplementary list of Shanghai(2012 edition). Compared with the first half year of 2013,prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medi-cines in ENT department in the second half year were significantly decreased(P<0.01),the cost percentage was significantly in-creased(P<0.01),in the top 20 prescription variety,totally 2 kinds were contained by the list 2012 edition and 3 were contained by the supplementary list of Shanghai (2012 edition). CONCLUSIONS:The prescription variety and cost percentages of essential medicines in our hospital show increase trend. Nevertheless,the non-essential medicines are still dominant and further improvement of essential medicines is still needed. Medicine variety and dosage forms of eye in ENT department are insufficient concluded in Es-sential Medicine List. Further adjustment of Essential Medicine List still needs more consideration for the medication characteristics in specialized hospital.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of thrombolysis and anticoagulant therapy for post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism (PE) in middle-aged and elderly patients.Methods Totally 45 patients with post-traumatic acute submassive pulmonary embolism in our hospital were selected.Patients were divided into thrombolysis group (n =22) and anticoagulation group (n=23) according to their conditions.Symptoms and signs,blood gas analysis,D-dimer,echocardiography,CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) were performed before and after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy.Results There were no significant differences in clinical curative rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [95.5％ (21/22) vs.91.3％ (21/23),x2 =0.32,P＞0.05],and no case was found dead in both two groups.There was a significant difference in hemorrhage rate between thrombolysis group and anticoagulation group [27.3％ vs.4.3％,x2 =4.53,P ＜ 0.05].At 24 hours after thrombolysis or anticoagulant therapy,the improvement rate of dyspnea,PaO2 level was significantly higher and the pulmonary arterial pressure was significantly lower in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group [45.5％ (10/22) vs.17.4％ (4/23),(80.4±8.1) mm Hg vs.(73.6±9.3) mm Hg,(51.2±6.2) mm Hgvs.(60.3±5.7) mm Hg,respectively,all P＜0.05],and there were no statistical significances at other time points between the two groups.Conclusions The clinical curative rate and fatality rate are similar in thrombolysis group versus anticoagulation group.Hemorrhage rate is higher in thrombolysis group than in anticoagulation group.Thrombolysis can relieve dyspnea rapidly,reduce pulmonary artery pressure and make the embolized blood vessels recanalized.Patients with low bleeding risk in a critical condition are suggested to take thrombolysis therapy,while patients with high bleeding risk in a light condition are suggested to take anticoagulant therapy.

Objective: To compile and evaluate the Chinese version of perioperative nursing quality assessment scale, detect and verify the reliability and validity of evaluation scale, and establish a scientiifc evaluation system. Methods: We applied Tuija Leinonene and Helena Leino-kilpi scales as the theoretical framework, and established perioperative nursing quality assessment scale by translation, language study, and expert consultation. hTe questionnaire survey population was 276 patients who had surgery and 200 nurses working in the operating rooms at the 3 Affliated Hospitals of Central South University. hTe scale was tested validity and reliability. Results: Perioperative nurse quality evaluation scale consisted of 32 items and 7 dimensions, including body care, receive information, support, respect, medical staff characteristics, environment and nursing process. The test-retest reliability of scale was 0.977 for patients and 0.997 for nurses. hTe split half reliability of scale was 0.761 for patients and 0.887 for nurses. hTe Cronbach's α of total scale for the patients was 0.918, and the Cronbach's α of factors was 0.658-0.838. hTe Cronbach's α of total scale for the nurses was 0.932, and the Cronbach's α of factors was 0.650-0.836. hTe correlation coeffcient of scale for the patients was 0.363-0.603; the factors and the total correlation coeffcient was 0.535-0.788. hTe correlation coeffcient of scale for the nurses was 0.410-0.700; the factors and the total correlation coeffcient was 0.743-0.902. Conclusion: The Chinese version of the perioperative nursing quality assessment scale is a measurement instrument with a high level of validity and reliability for Chinese society and can be used to determine the quality of perioperative nursing care in our country.

To examine the changes in number and function of endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from peripheral blood (PB) in hypertension disorder complicating pregnancy (HDCP), 20 women with HDCP and 20 normal pregnant women at the third trimester were studied. Mononuclear cells (MNCs) from PB were isolated by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation. EPCs were identified by positive expression of both CD34 and CD133 under fluorescence microscope and positive expression of factor VIII as shown by immunocytochemistry. The number of EPCs was flow-cytometrically determined. Proliferation and migration of EPCs were measured by MTT assay and modified Boyden chamber assay, respectively. The adhesion activity of EPCs was detected by counting the number of the adherent cells. The results showed that, compared with normal pregnant women, the number of EPCs was significantly reduced in HDCP (4.29%+/-1.21% vs 15.32%+/-2.00%, P<0.01), the functional activity of EPCs in HDCP, such as proliferation (13.45%+/-1.68% vs 18.45%+/-1.67%), migration (37.25+/-7.28 cells/field vs 67.10+/-9.55 cells/field) and adhesion activity (20.65+/-5.19 cells/field vs 34.40+/-6.72 cells/filed) was impaired (P<0.01). It is concluded that the number and function of EPCs are significantly decreased in HDCP.
