Objective To avoid the adverse reactions resulted from scalp scar, alopecia, operation trauma and the length of recovery and other syndromes in the traditional frontotemporal-face lifting. Methods The small incision to dissect the tissue at the frontoparietal and temporal part was used. And the muscle that caused the wrinkle was cut before lifting the dissected tissue and skin while smoothing the wrinkles on the face. Results Of 68 cases in the clinic, 11 cases were with temporal lifting by embedding suturing; 25 with temporal lifting with mini incision by embedding suturing; 32 with frontotemporal lifting with mini incision by embedding suturing. The follow up showed that the result of such operation method was satisfactory. No scalp scar, alopecia and other syndromes occurred. Conclusions This method of frontotemporal lifting with mini incision by embedding suturing has such advantages as: operating process is simple and can be done in the operating room of the Out patient Department, the trauma is not so serious that it takes little time to recover, the cut is so small that the scar is invisible, frontotemporal face lifting is very positive and satisfactory.

砄bjective: To assess interexaminer errors in traditional cephalometric analysis so as to improve the accuracy . Methods : Ten cephalometric radiographs were selected randomly and 12 angular and 5 liner parameters were measured by 5 orthodontists in one week according to the original landmarks. The results were quantified with that of computer based. Results: The mean errors of some measurements were larger than 0.5, such as SL,GoGn SN, SE,FMA,FMIA,OP SN, 1 1 ,IMPA and SNA,while only those of SL and GoGn SN were larger than 1.0. Conclusion: Statistical significant differences are found in the The errors of measurements which need assisted line among the examiners but not found in the errors between angle measurements and liner measurements?

Objective To find a satisfied repairing method which can complete the functional cheiloplasty while avoiding the visible scar after the cheiloschisis II operation for bilateral cleft lip. Methods The functional operation was carried out in subcutaneous layer by incising along the outline of the nose and the mouth. Results A satisfied effect was achieved after 6 months to 2 years' follow up in 15 cases of the patients (4 cases of bilateral cleft, 11 cases of cheiloschisis). Conclusions The new operation method has improved the traditional method of cheiloplasty. It can effectively repair the secondary defection in nose and mouth resulted from the cheilochisis operation. It can rebuild the orbicularis oris muscle and repair the diseased alar catilage as well. Furthermore, it not only brings a natural looking appearance, but also a natural function and an invisible incision scar. [

Objective:To determine the differences of age, eruption sequence and gender of permanent teeth in children and adolescents in Xi'an, China. Methods:Cross-sectional data on permanent teeth eruption were collected from children aged 3~15 in pre-school, primary and secondary school. The subjects were drawn by multistage random sampling from the school registers. There were 6 712 subjects involved in present survey, including 3 604 boys and 3 108 girls. The data were subjected to probit regression analysis. Results:The median age of tooth eruption in girls was earlier than that in boys. Although the range of years during which the permanent teeth erupted was similar in both sexes, i.e. 6~12 years, the sequence of the tooth eruption was differed. All mandibular teeth, with the exception of first and second premolars in both males and females, tended to erupt earlier than their maxillary counterparts. Conclusion:The findings seem to be different from earlier studies done in the other parts of China.

Objective To investigate pre-and intra-operative preventive measures against immediate conversions to open surgery during laparoscopic cholecystectomy(LC).Methods We retrospectively reviewed 568 cases of LC,27 of which underwent an immediate conversion to open surgery.Causes of conversions,surgical techniques,and curative outcomes were analyzed.Results Causes of immediate conversions included: severe adhesion between the gallbladder and neighboring tissues(1.4%),severe acute cholecystitis(1.1%),freezing adhesion in the Calot triangle(0.9%),large stone obstruction proximal to the gallbladder(0.5%),abnormal anatomy of the cystic duct(0.4%),extensive adhesion around the umbilical port(0.4%),and uncontrollable hemorrhage of the gallbladder bed(0.2%).No fatal cases or intra-and post-operative complications were observed.Conclusions Preventive measures should be taken before and during laparoscopic cholecystectomy to minimize the possibility of immediate conversions to open surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the dispensing of prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine.METHODS:According to the dispensing procedure of Chinese traditional medicine and the principle of drug use,the problems occurred during Chinese traditional medicine dispensing were pointed out and analyzed.RESULTS:The problems occurred in the dispensing of prescriptions of traditional Chinese medicine were mainly resulted from doctors,pharmacists and nurses' lack of basic rationale or they had no intimate knowledge of operation regulations.These problems can be avoided if with efforts.CONCLUSION:Only through strictly following the prescription of Chinese traditional medicine can the quality and efficacy of Chinese drugs dispensing be guaranteed.

Objective To observe the health-related quality of life of children with recurrent respiratory tract infection (RRTI) simultaneously inoculated by pneumococcal vaccine combined with influenza vaccine.Methods A total of 454 cases with RRTI were randomly divided into four groups,the control group (n =135) was used with placebo only,and the combined inoculation group (n =143) was simultaneously inoculated with pneumococcal vaccine combined with influenza vaccine,the pneumococcus vaccine group (n =95),influenza vaccine group (n =81).The PedsQLTM 4.0 score and clinical indicators were observed in each group before the inoculation and 14 months after the inoculation.Results There were no significant differences in the number of cases,gender,age,duration and socioeconomic status score in the four groups (P ＞ 0.05).The incidence of upper and lower respiratory tract infection,respiratory diseases caused by the frequency of fever,the number of days of antibiotic use and total cost of treatment in the vaccine group were significantly less than those of the control group (P ＜ 0.05).And the combined inoculation group was significantly better than the pneumococcus vaccine group and influenza vaccine group(P ＜ 0.0l).The PedsQLTM 4.0 score showed no significant differences among four groups (P ＞ 0.05) before the inoculation.Each dimension of the quality of life of the vaccine group significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05) while those of control group showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Combination of inoculation of pneumococcal vaccine and influenza vaccine can effectively improve the health-related quality of life of RRTI children as well as the PedsQLTM 4.0 score,and it should be highly recommended clinically.

Objective · To investigate antiemetic effect of aprepitant for moderately chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Methods · From 2014 July to 2015 August, 130 cases of gastrointestinal cancer patients were collected in Ruijin Hospital affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, who received moderate emetogenic risk of chemotherapy for at least four courses. One hundred and nine patients were treated with aprepitant, palonosetron and dexamethasone on day 1, and aprepitant and dexamethasone on day 2 and 3. Twenty-one patients only received aprepitant and dexamethasone on day 1 and dexamethasone on day 2 and 3 in the first course of chemotherapy. During subsequent courses of chemotherapy they received aprepitant and treated in the same way as 109 patients. MASCC antiemetic tool (MAT) was used to evaluate the intensity of nausea. The primary endpoint was complete response (CR, no emesis and use of no rescue antiemetics) during the overall study phase (0-120 h after chemotherapy) at the second course. The secondary endpoint was complete protection (CP, CR plus no significant nausea) during the overall, acute (0-24 h), and delayed (24-120 h) phases at the second course. Results · The CR rates were 90.0%, 94.6% and 90.8% of patients in the overall, acute and delayed phases, respectively. The corresponding CP rates were 83.8%, 87.8% and 84.6 %, respectively. The CR rate increased from 42.9% to 57.1% during acute phase and increased from 9.5% to 90.5% during delayed phase for 21 patients after treatment with aprepitant. The main adverse reactions include constipation, anorexia and hiccups. Conclusion · Aprepitant combined with palonosetron and dexamethasone can effectively prevent moderately chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting in patients with gastrointestinal cancer. Aprepitant therapy can effectively maintain antiemetic effect in patients with many chemotherapy courses.
