Objective To explore the damage of intestinal mucosal barrier caused by vinegar retention enema, and compare the degree of injury in intestinal mucosal barrier between isotonic vinegar and traditional hypertonic vinegar treat-ment. Methods Sixteen adult rabbits were randomly divided into two groups. The solution of vinegar mixed with normal so-dium was given to hypertonic group. Isotonic group was administered with isosmotic solution made of vinegar and double dis-tilled water, with the same volume fraction and pH as hypertonic group. Then two different osmosis solutions were given as enema solution to rabbits under the same condition. Finally, damages of intestinal mucosa were observed by light microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM) in two groups. Results It was observed that injuries of rectum and distal part of colon were more severe in hypertonic group than those of isotonic group through light microscope. Besides, cell structures were morphologically normal, with in-line microvilli and intact tight junction in isotonic group. In hypertonic group, microvil-li of intestinal cells decreased or disappeared, the cell junction is widened, and cell apoptosis and necrosis were found through TEM. Conclusion Results showed that isotonic vinegar had less damage to mucosa. Consequently, isotonic vinegar can be considered as enema solution for hepatic encephalopathy to avoid damage by osmosis in clinic.

Objective To explore the effect of general intervention in improving the psychological condition of healthy pregnant women. Methods Totally 96 pregnant women who made prenatal visits in our obstetrics and outpatient department were divided into the control and the intervention group stochasti-cally. The intervention group started from first prenatal visit. The general intervention measures included cognitive intervention, the behavioral intervention, family coping intervention and psychological intervention with self-designed relaxation exercises. While conventional prenatal visit, propaganda and nursing were im-plemented to the control group.Self-made general questionnaire and symptom checklist 90 (SCL-90)were used to survey and analyze the results. Results Post-natal depression and anxiety of the control group was obviously higher than that of the prenatal. The Post-natal obsessive-compulsive symptom, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility, terror and bigotry in the intervention group were greatly alleviated. Com-pared with the control group, obsessive-compulsive symptom, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, hostility and terror of the intervention group were significantly different (P<0.05). The depression improved while the difference was not evidently differenL Conclusions Delivery had great influence on the psychological status of women,especially anxiety and depression. General intervention measures like psychological relax-ation exercises can improve the psychological condition of healthy pregnant women obviously,especially de-pression.

Objective To evaluate the effect of pelvic muscle exercise on quality of sexual life after panhysterectomy surgery.Methods A retrospective review was made on 166 patients with integrated follow-up documents,after their panhysterectomy surgery caused by benign diseases.A normal nursing care was provided to the control group (n=81); while an additional pelvic muscle exercise was performed on the normal care basis,to those in the experimental group (n=85).Finally,a questionnaire on sexual life quality was made at the sixth month,ninth month,and twelfth month respectively,using a repeated measure ANOVA to analyze the data of each dimension and the whole score.Results Significant differences revealed both on the whole score and dimensions of the sexual satisfaction,sexual communication,sexual anxiety and sexual reaction,in different time sites.However,no difference was found in sexual attitude and body image.Besides,a cross interaction was found between time and intervention,where intervention presented different effects.Conclusions Pelvic muscle exercise is recommended in gynecological continuing nursing care to facilitate the recovery of sexual life after panhysterectomy surgery.

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic value of non-contrast-enhanced MR venography (NCE-MRV) for Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS). Materials and Methods NCE-MRV and digital subtraction angiography (DSA) examination were performed in thirty-five patients with suspected BCS. The diagnostic agreement between them were compared. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value and positive predictive value were also calculated. Results In all 35 patients, 32 were diagnosed as BCS on DSA, and 33 on NCE-MRV. DSA showed inferior vena cava membrane stenosis in 8 patients compared to 10 on NCE-MRV;membrane obstruction in 7 compared to 6 on NCE-MRV, segmental stenosis in 3 compared to 4 on NCE-MRV;segmental obstruction in 10 compared to 10 on NCE-MRV, IVC thrombosis in 5 compared to 5 on NCE-MRV. The sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of NCE-MRV in diagnosing BCS were 100.0%, 67.8%, 97.1%, 100.0%and 96.9%, respectively. There was good intra-modality agreement (Kappa=0.89). NCE-MRV also demonstrated intra-hepatic collaterals in 30 patients, extra-hepatic collaterals in 27 cases, and accessory hepatic veins in 25 cases. Conclusion NCE-MRV has excellent diagnostic agreement with DSA in diagnosing inferior vena cava lesion in patients with BCS. It may be used in noninvasive diagnosis.

[The differential diagnoses of reactive arthritis presenting as arthralgia should be considered as diverse disorders , especially when the symptoms cannot be fully explained by some definite diseases.Do not ignore the indication of bone marrow aspiration .We reported a 50-year-old woman who complained of arthralgia , recurrent fever and rash 9 months ago.Laboratory exams showed mild leukopenia , anemia, thrombocytopenia and increased lymphocyte proportion .She was treated with glucocorticoid after the diagnosis of connective tissue disease was suspected .Until platelet count abruptly decreased to very low level, the final diagnosis of acute lymphoblastic leukemia was made through bone marrow morphology , flow cytometry, and chromosome examination .Therefore, a small number of leukemia is not easily diagnosed by routine operations .Thus when diagnoses are not determined with recurrent symptoms , cautious observation and further examination are required to avoid misdiagnoses or missed diagnoses of acute leukemia .

Objective:To explore the detection and segmentation of ischemic core infarct volume of the acute stroke in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) images using cascaded VB-Net.Methods:MRI data of 1 500 patients (2 456 lesions) with acute ischemic stroke in Henan Provincial People′s Hospital from December 2016 to December 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Firstly, manual segmentation of ischemic core was performed on DWI images (b=1 000 s/mm 2), and then all data were divided into training set, validation set and independent test set by 8∶1∶1. Then, the cascaded VB-Net was constructed, and the core infarct was automatically detected and segmented in the test set. Interclass correlation coefficient (ICC) was used to evaluate the consistency of volume size measured by manual segmentation and cascaded VB-Net. The patients were divided into large ischemic core lesion group (ischemic core volume ≥10 ml) and small ischemic core lesion group (ischemic core volume<10 ml), and the Dice coefficient difference between the two groups was compared using Mann-Whitney U test. Results:In independent test set, cascaded model had the detection rate of 94.6% (243/257) with Dice coefficient of 0.76 (0.68, 0.84). The agreement of cacade VB-Net segmented [4.19(1.21,14.13)ml] and manual segmented ischemic core infarct volume [4.08(1.19,17.92)ml] was high (ICC=0.97, P<0.001). There was no significant difference in Dice coefficient between large and small lesion groups [0.76 (0.69, 0.85), 0.76 (0.67, 0.84), Z=-0.44, P=0.657]. Conclusions:The cascaded VB-Net model provided a tool to realize automatic detection, segmentation, and calculation of ischemic core infarct volume. It has good segmentation accuracy and high consistency with manual segmentation, which can provide an auxiliary decision-making tool for the selection of treatment plans.
