OBJECTIVE To explore the causes, predilection sites and treatment of nasal sinus mucoceles after hypophysectomy.METHODS The clinical data of 7 cases with nasal sinus mucoceles after hypophysectomy diagnosed and treated in our Department from Jan.1998 to Aug.2007 were retrospectively studied.RESULTS The mucoceles were located at ethmoid sinus in 2 cases,frontal sinus in 2 cases,frontal and ethmoid sinuses in 3 cases.All of the 7 cases underwent mucocelectomy under nasal endoscope or a combined endoscopic intranasal and extra-nasal approach.No recurrence was found after follow up for 1 to 3 years.CONCLUSION The causes of nasal sinus mucoceles after hypophysectomy are the change of the anatomic structure of nasal cavity after surgery.The stenosis,adhesion of middle nasal meatus or obstruction of the sinus ostium are found in all the patients.Intranasal endoscopic surgery or combined with extra-nasal approach is the first choice for nasal sinus mucoceles.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the application of Prescription Automatic Screening System (PASS) in the examination of clinical medical orders. METHODS: The level and type of caution and the modification rate of medical orders in our hospital between April 2005 and April 2006 were analysed statistically, and the conformity between PASS cautions of medical orders and clinical medications was evaluated. RESULTS: A total of 10 982 160 medical orders were monitored by PASS, of which, 11 146 were with black cautions and in which 2 861(25.67%) were modified, 51 504 were with red cautions and in which 10 357 (20.0%) were modified, 339 449 were with yellow ones and in which 66 022 (19.45%) were modified. In PASS monitor process, inconformity between feasible clinical medical orders and cautions of PASS was noted in a few cases. CONCLUSION: The examination of medical orders using PASS is convenient and rapid and the PASS can help improve clinical rational drug use level, however, its function of remains to be updated and optimized.

Objective To explore the key points of nursing for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography.Methods The features of nursing for 58 cases neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography were analyzed and summarized.Results 55 cases with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography smoothly with pertinent nursing,only 3 cases had not completed the procedures because of change of their conditions.Conclusions Pertinent nursing was important for neonates with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy detected by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography because it could help them complete the procedures smoothly and make the results more accurate and satisfying so it is worthy of wide use clinically.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the approach and methods for the selection of national essential drugs and to improve national essential drug system.METHODS:The concept of national essential drugs and the principle of selecting national essential drugs and the problems within were expounded,and the rationale and methods of pharmacoeconomics were adopted to analyze its significance and role in selecting national essential drugs.RESULTS & CONCLUSION:Simplifying National Essential Drug List can facilitate peoples’ access to essential drugs.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of Pingxiao capsules in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules. Methods:Totally 240 patients with benign thyroid nodules were randomly divided into the treatment group and the control group with 120 ones in each. The control group received levothyroxine at low dose, the treatment group received Pingxiao capsules, and the treatment course was 3 months. The type B ultrasonic inspection and lab inspection ( for thyroid hormones and blood lipid) were carried out, the cura-tive effect was compared and the adverse reactions were recorded as well. Results:Three patients in the treatment group and five ones in the control group were lost during the follow-up. After the treatment, the max diameter of thyroid nodule and the thyroid volume de-creased in both groups (P<0. 05), and those in the treatment group were smaller than those in the control group (P<0. 05). The levels of TSH and TC in the control group decreased after the treatment, which were significantly lower than those in the treatment group (P<0. 05). The total effective rate in the treatment group was higher than that in the control group, and the incidence of ad-verse reactions was lower than that in the control group, and both had significant differences between the groups (P<0. 05). Conclu-sion:Pingxiao capsules are effective and safe in the treatment of benign thyroid nodules.

The rate of malnutrition occurrence in patients of hepatocirrhosis is high,and the most of them is the protein-energy malnutrition.Nutrition support is important in the therapy.The following aspects are introduced in the article,including the causation of malnutrition of hepatocirrhosis,appropriate rate of nitrogen and energy,nutritional route and the doctor′s recognition of malnutrition in patients of cirrhosis.

Objective To discuss the causes and management of the complications of the transurethral electrovaporization of prostate(TVP) to improve the effect.Methods All 820 cases took TVP.3～6 months follow-up was taken to investigate the complications and their disposal.Results No patient died,6 cases had massive haemorrhage during operation,6 cases had presymptom of TUR syndrome,5 cases had perforation of juncture of bladder and prostate,6 cases had acute pulmonary thromboembolism(PTE) after TVP,32 cases had spasm of bladder,18 cases had urethral stricture,3 caess had postoperative bleed,11 cases had retrograde ejaculation,13 cases had temporary incontinence,24 cases had infection of urinary tract.Conclusion Pre-operational precautions are essential,the complications of TVP may be decreased by accurate operation and reliable management of infection.

Objective To study the mechanism of rat blood pressure lowered by SO2 and SO2 derivatives.Methods 6-Keto-PGF1? and TXB2 were determined by radioimmunoassay in the plasma and aorta tissue of rats.Results The 6-Keto increased significantly in the isolated aortic rings in all exposure groups except 8 mmol/L group.No change of TXB2 was observed in the rings in all exposure groups.Meanwhile,6-Keto/TXB2 ratios increased significantly at 2 mmol/L and 4 mmol/L.Compared with the control group,6-Keto level decreased significantly in the plasma of the rats exposed to SO2 at 14 mg/m3,28mg/m3 and 56 mg/m3,but the level of TXB2 increased significantly.6-Keto/TXB2 ratios decreased gradually with the increase of SO2 concentration.Conclusion PGI2 and TXA2 are possibly changed by SO2 and SO2 derivatives,which regulates partly rat blood pressure.

The status of bioelectrical impedance measurement especially the multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance measurement of liver diseases is introduced.The multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance can well rule out the impact from the change of body weight caused by edema and ascites,and can evaluate the volume of ascites.Compared with single frequency bioelectrical impedance,the multi frequency bioelectrical impedance measurements probably display good prospect.It helps to produce objective judgement on nutrition status and energy metabolism for patients with liver diseases.The effect,however,needs further clinical research.
