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 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.

Objective: To anal yze the reasons for the increasing Chinese residents’ self-medication, and provide references for reasonable positioning and development of self-medication. Methods:Using the National Health Service Survey data (1993, 1998, 2003, and 2008), and use multivariate logistic regression analysis to study the influencing factors of self-medication. Results: Chinese residents’ self-medication have differences in the both time and space dimensions. The influencing factors of medical decision include the demographic characteristics of the diseased residents, medical insurance system, the available of specialized medical services space, family economic conditions, healthy living behaviors, daily health situation, two-week morbidity cognition and two-week morbidity outcomes etc. Conclusion: The alternative function of self-medication determines its reasonable development space. The increasing rate of Chinese residents’ self-medication has many influencing factors.

In recent years, Chinese residents’self-medication has a rapid upward trend. From the perspective of behavioral economics, it analyzes the reasons for the increasing proportion of Chinese residents’self-medication which has been tested by four data of National Health Service Survey, and provides objective understanding reference for the self-medication.

In recent years, there is a rapid upward trend of Chinese residents’self-medication. It analyzes the formation mechanism of self-medication from three directions: inheritance mechanism, power mechanism and strengthening mechanism. It explains the cause of rapid rise of self-medication, and provides useful lessons for objective understanding of self-medication.

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.

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.
