Objective To evaluate the usefulness of free angle M-mode echocardiography (FAM) in obtaining tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) for assessing the fetal right ventricular function,and to compare the results of measurements of TAPSE by conventional M-mode(CM) and FAM.Methods Two hundred and forty-three normal fetuses in second and late trimester were divided into 5 groups by gestational age(GA):20-24 weeks,24+1-28 weeks,28+1-32 weeks,32+1-36 weeks,36+1-40 weeks.The TAPSE were measured by CM and FAM echocardiography,meanwhile multiple parameters for evaluating right ventricular function were obtained by using myocardial tissue Doppler imaging (TDI),and the correlation between TAPSE and other parameters were analyzed by linear correlation.ANOVA was used to compare CM-TAPSE,FAM-TAPSE,Em,Sm and right ventricular fractional shortening(RVFS)with different GA.Regression equation estimate was used to compare the relationship of FAM-TAPSE with GA.Independent sample t test was used to compare CM TAPSE with FAM TAPSE.Results There were significant differences in CM-TAPSE,FAM-TAPSE,Em,and Sm among 5 groups (P =0.000),the measured value of FAM-TAPSE was higher than that of CM TAPSE (P =0.000).Both FAM-TPASE and CM-TAPSE showed significant positive correlations with GA,Em and Sm,but FAM TAPSE demonstrated better correlation than CM-TAPSE.Conclusions By adjusting sample line of FAM,measuring the maximum displacement of tricuspid annular plane is feasible,and FAM may evaluate fetal right ventricular function more accurately and effectively.

Objective To explore the effect of ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy in critical ill patients.Methods From January 2016 to January 2018,95 critical ill patients who were treated in the People's Hospital of Quzhou were selected.According to the random number table method,they were divided into control group (n =47) and observation group (n =48).The patients in the control group were treated with traditional tracheotomy,and the patients in the observation group were treated with percutaneous dilatation tracheotomy under ultrasonic guidance.The operation condition of the two groups was observed,including operative bleeding volume,operative time,incision length,extubation time,incision healing time,hospitalization time and so on.The postoperative complications and mortality were recorded in the two groups.Results The operative bleeding volume,operative time,incision length and incision healing time in the observation group were (12.91 ± 1.36) mL,(10.05 ± 1.14) min,(1.46 ± 0.32) cm,(5.48 ±0.39)d,respectively,which were lower than those in the control group[(38.54 ± 3.47)mL,(27.43 ±2.29) min,(3.25 ± 0.68) cm,(7.64 ± 0.72) d],there were statistically significant differences between the two groups(t =40.098,39.616,13.888,15.381,P =0.000,0.000,0.000,0.000).The extubation time,hospitalization time in the observation group were (14.19 ± 1.14)d,(20.17 ± 1.85)d,respectively,which in the control group were (14.23 ± 1.17) d,(20.26 ± 1.89) d,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (t =0.142,0.198,P =0.886,0.843).The incidence rate of postoperative complications in the observation group was 6.25％,which was lower than 21.28％ in the control group,there was statistically significant difference between the two groups (x2 =9.515,P =0.002).The ICU mortality and hospitalization mortality in the observation group were 2.08％ and 4.17％,respectively,which in the control group were 10.64％ and 12.77％,respectively,there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups (x2 =2.937,2.277,P =0.087,0.131).Conclusion Ultrasound guided percutaneous dilatation tracheostomy can improve operation condition,reduce hospitalization time,and has less complications,low mortality,which has good clinical value in critical ill care.

Objective: To investigate and analyze the awareness, utilization, and satisfaction of patients with chronic diseases (hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus), as well as the influencing factors related to health management services for chronic diseases in basic public health service projects in Zhejiang Province, in order to promote the development of effective health management services for chronic diseases. Methods: Between September and November 2017, 960 local patients with chronic diseases aged 35 years or older were randomly selected in eight counties (cities/districts) in Zhejiang province using the random number table, based on the chronic disease information from the information management system. A total of 394 (41.04%) male and 566 (58.96%) female patients, with an average age of (68.02±10.02) years, participated in this study. Face-to-face questionnaires were used to collect patients’ awareness, utilization, and satisfaction with health management services for chronic diseases. The awareness of health management services for chronic diseases and their utilization status were described and analyzed by statistical rate indicators. Possible factors affecting the awareness and utilization status were analyzed by χ² test and logistic regression. Satisfaction scores of patients with chronic diseases were analyzed by means and standard deviation. T-test was used to compare the satisfaction level with service items (service convenience, service environment, waiting time, medical skill level, and service attitude) between urban and rural patients with chronic diseases. Finally, multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine overall satisfaction. Results: The overall awareness of health management services for chronic diseases in chronic disease patients was 96.15%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who lived in developed regions, rural areas, and patients who did not live alone had more awareness of health management services (OR= 0.347, 3.563, and 0.281, all P <0.05). The overall utilization rate of health management services for chronic diseases in chronic disease patients was 94.58%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that patients who lived in developed regions and rural areas showed better utilization of health management services (OR= 0.297 and 4.145, all P<0.05). The average satisfaction score of patients for all items of health management services was above nine. The satisfaction scores of chronic disease patients in rural areas regarding service convenience, service environment, waiting time, and service attitude were better than those of chronic disease patients in urban areas (t=-2.157, -3.614, -3.164, -2.879, all P<0.05). The overall satisfaction score regarding health management services for chronic diseases was 92.95%. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that patients who purchased health insurance for urban and rural residents reported higher overall satisfaction with health management services for chronic diseases compared to those patients who purchase other medical insurance (OR=2.943, P<0.05). Conclusion The current level of awareness, utilization, and satisfaction with health management services for chronic diseases among chronic disease patients in Zhejiang province should be further improved. Moreover, attention should be paid to the balanced development of urban and rural areas to further increase the equality level of basic public health services.

The prevention and control of 2019 novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is currently the primary task of all industries in China. People can be infected through respiratory droplets, airborne and close contact. Pediatric airway foreign body is a common otorhinolaryngology emergency, especially occurred in 1 to 3-year-old children. It usually causes complications like airway obstruction, suffocation and pneumonia, which may become an acute threat to life. The common practice in otorhinolaryngology emergency room is to perform direct laryngoscope, bronchoscope and foreign body removal. Medical staff need to be closely contacted with these children during surgical operation, who may produce massive droplets and aerosols during examination. With a combination of characteristics of surgical operation, this article intends to provide advices on diagnosis and treatment of airway foreign body removal for pediatric otorhinolaryngology colleagues during the prevention and control of 2019-nCoV. Adjustments could be made subsequently due to changes of the epidemic situation and the recognition of 2019-nCoV.
