Objective To explore the effect of the prenatal dexamethasone treatment on the preventionof wet lung syndrome in the newborn of elective caesarean section at term. Methods Two hundred cases of elective caesarean section at term (the gestation age was less than 39 weeks) were divided into observation group and control group,with 100 cases in each by random digits table. Observation group was treated with four intramuscular injections of 6 mg dexamethasone in the 24 hours to 7 days before delivery, and control group was treated with 0.9% sodium chloride injection with the same method. The clinical data and the incidence of the wet lung syndrome of the newborn were collected. Results The incidence of the wet lung syndrome of the newborn was 1%(1/100) in observation group and 9%(9/100) in control group,and the incidence of the severity of the wet lung syndrome of the newborn was 1% ( 1/100) in observation group and 2%(2/100) in control group. There were no complication in observation group and 1 case in control group.The incidence and the severity of the wet lung syndrome of the newborn in observation group were less than that in control group significantly (P = 0.009,0.049). Conclusion Prenatal dexamethasone treatment can reduce the incidence of the wet lung syndrome of the newborn and decrease the incidence of the severity and complication of elective caesarean section at term.

Objective:Use ligustrazin and salvia miltiorrhiza to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis,for the experimental result was perfect in animal modal.Method:These two drugs combined with prednisone in 15 patients as treated group,prednisone in 10 patients as control group.Result:At 1,6 months followed up,the dyspnea and cough improved markedly.Chest radiograph and pulmonary function improved slightly.There were no differences between two groups.After 24 month the combined group 13(73%) stabilized,4(27%) relapse or deterioration,no death.Control group 6(60%) stabilized,3(30%) relapse or deterioration,1(10%) death,Conclusion:Combined group was better then control group.Ligustrazin and salvia miltorrhiza could decrease alveolitis and inhibit the formation of procollagen.It also improve the patient's immunity.

Objective To design leaf patterns for Multileaf Collimator(MLC)routine quality assurance(OA)with a 2D diode array.Methods According to the detector distribution characteristic of the 2D diode array and basillg on the"picket fence"pattern,design the"stepwise"pattern.For each diode involving MLC QA,a calibration curve of relative output versus leaf positioning error was measured through delivering a set of patterns with different intentionally introduced positioning errors.When this proposed technique was delivered,the referenced patterns were exposed,and the calibration curves were used as a mean to quantitative determination of the leaf possible positioning errors through the detector readings.Results Compared with the"picket fence"pattern,the"stepwise"pattern not only had a high detecting efficiency,but also increased the dosimetric sensidvity to leaf positioning error.A 1 mm Ieaf positioni.error corresponds to a dose variation of 25% for the"stepwise"pattern,while for the"picket fence"pattern the same positioning error just causes a 17% dose vailation.Conclusions The new"stepwise"pattern is more efficient to be carried out,and more sensitive to sub-millimeter changes of leaf positioning.

Objective:To design a new elastic implant-distraction apparatus. Methods:The implant-distraction apparatus consists of tow units, a TiNi shape memory alloy spring and an implant, made of pure titanium TA2.Spring was put into the hollow implant.After horizontal osteotomy, the implant-distraction device was placed into the partial edentulous area of mandible of 6 dogs to distract the alveolar bone.Results: The apparatus was manufactured.It could implement continual autodistraction and kept stable in the in vivo experiment. 10 weeks after application of the apparatus the transport bone segment was vertically augmented by 4.7 mm on average.Conclusion: The implant-distraction device is functional in distraction osteogenesis.

Purpose The incidence of cesarean scar pregnancy (CSP) shows a rising trend in recent years, and misdiagnosis or improper treatment of it can cause serious consequences. In this paper, we analyzed the characteristics of MRI and ultrasonography of CSP to provide a basis for choice of clinical imaging techniques. Materials and Methods Fifty-eight patients with cesarean scar pregnancy were studied retrospectively, all the cases underwent preoperative color Doppler ultrasound (trans-vaginal or together with trans-abdominal), and 31 cases were examined with MRI, the accurate imaging features and diagnosis rate of each was analyzed.Results 48 patients (82.8%) were diagnosed accurately by color Doppler ultrasound, including 20 cases of out-growth type (95.2%, 20/21), 18 cases of inner-growth type (90.0%, 18/20) and 10 cases of mass type (58.8%, 10/17); 27 cases (87.1%) were diagnosed accurately by MRI, including 8 cases of out-growth type (100.0%, 8/8), 4 cases of inner-growth type (66.7%, 4/6), and 15 cases of mass type (88.5%, 15/17).Conclusion The diagnostic accuracy of sonography for CSP is close to that of MRI, thus can act as the first choice; MRI can be chosen for combine examination to improve the accurate diagnostic rate when the CSP case is mass type detected by ultrasonic findings which is difficult to be diagnosed.

Stroke patients often suffer from fatigue after exercise, which influences the limb function and the quality of life. Also, it may be related to the increase of mortality. Fatigue Severity Scale, Fatigue Assessment Scale and other scales are suitable for the subjective assessment. The critical flicker frequency and the reaction time are important physiological indexes. And blood lactic acid, creatine kinase, serum tryptophan and glucose are significant biochemical indexes. The effective treatment for the exercise-induced fatigue is still in the ex-ploratory stage, it mainly includes drug therapy, physical therapy, nutrition diet, and so on. Traditional Chinese medicine may have broad prospects. The lower limb negative pressure-atmospheric pressure recovery tank and the transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation play a role in helping the patients to recovery. Also the cognitive and graded activity training needs more attention.
