The aim of nutritional support is to maintain the metabolic function of cells, organs and the whole body, and also to reduce the total energy consumption, finally promotes the patients to recover. Infectious patients are often in the status of high catabolism and negative nitrogen balance. It is necessary for such patients to receive nutritional support, however, the performance is difficult because of the high catabolism status and disorder of physiological function. What is more, inappropriate performance may lead to even worse outcome. Accordingly, the current clinical researches focus on how to improve the effects of nutritional support in infectious patients. Several aspects on this issue including the time, route, dose, metabolic intervention and immune modulation are discussed.

Objective:In order to provide policy-makers with basis and reference for improving the operational efficiency of county general public hospitals, this paper studies the changes in overall efficiency, technical efficiency and scale efficiency of 40 county general public hospitals in Fujian province from 2009 to 2014 , as well as how the to-tal factor productivity changes over the time. Methods: After collecting the relevant data of hospital operations from 2009 to 2014, this paper uses CCR, BBC, Malmquist model and other data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods to analyze the data. Results:The vast majority of those 40 county general public hospitals are in decreasing state. The total factor productivity of 40 hospitals from 2009 to 2014 is 1. 019. There are 21 hospitals (52. 5%) that slightly im-proved their productivity, of which 3 hospitals increased their productivity mainly due to technological progress, 3 hospitals due to efficiency increase, and the rest 15 hospitals due to the effect of both technological progress and effi-ciency increase. Conclusions:The operational efficiency of county general public hospitals in Fujian province is gen-erally insufficient, and there are significant differences between operating efficiency of different regions. The efficien-cy of hospitals in mountainous areas had increased, but the efficiency of hospitals in coastal areas had decreased. Therefore, in order to increase investment in county general public hospitals, the government should take differential policy and pay attention to the reasonable control of hospital size, as well as to strengthen the connotation building and attach importance to improving medical service technologies.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in the diagnosis of postoperative complications after pancreas transplantation.Methods Eighty-six post pancreastransplantation patients were examined by CEUS to observe the perfusion of contrast agent,plot timeintensity curve (TIC),and compare to the results of enhanced CT,MRI and pathology.Results Eleven cases of thrombosis,13 cases of rejection and 13 cases of pancreatitis were observed among 86 patients.Result from CEUS showed that:① Distribution of normal pancreatic grafts vascular and parenchyma was even,TIC follows positive skewed distribution.②Thrombosis:there was no perfusion in the embolic vessels and no enhancement or low uneven enhancement in the parenchyma.③ Rejection:perfusion of the parenchyma was slow,peak value was decreased,rising and falling slope of the TIC was reduced with blunt peak.④Pancreatitis:perfusion of the parenchyma was uneven,the regional low enhanced area was visible,clear of the contrast agent was relatively slow,rising slope of TIC was reduced and the peak value was decreased.Conclusions CEUS can monitor the perfusion of the pancreatic grafts vascular and parenchyma,and get useful perfusion parameters.It has been proven as an effective method to definitely diagnose postoperative complications after pancreas transplantation.

Objective To investigate the quantitative analysis of tissue diffusion of real-time elastography(RTE) in chronic renal allograft injury(CRAI) and the relationship between RTE and the level of serum creatinine(Cr).Methods Sixty-nine cases of allograft renal transplantation patients were detected by conventional ultrasound and RTE.According to the time after operation and Cr,they were divided into three groups:group A (in three months after operation and normal Cr,25 cases),group B (more than three months after operation and normal Cr,23 cases),and group C (more than three months after operation and high Cr,21 cases).The results were compared and analyzed.Results ①Contrast between group A and group B,there were differences on Cr and average ralative strain value(MEAN),area ratio of low-strain region (％ AREA),complexity (COMP),skewness (SKEW),(P ＜ 0.05).② In group B,there was correlation between Cr and ％AREA,MEAN,SKEW (r =0.682,P ＜0.05; r =0.628,P ＜0.05; r =-0.481,P ＜0.05).③To make ROC curve,MEAN has higher sensitivity (90.9％),COMP has higher specificity and accuracy (68.0％,81.8％).④ To apply the third result in group C,4 or 5 cases in 21 were abnormal.Conclusions There is a good correlation between the quantitative analysis of tissue diffusion and the level of serum creatinine.RTE can indirectly reflect CRAI,and it is a new method of ultrasonic to evaluate renal allograft function.

BACKGROUND:Volar locking plate is the domin Pedicle screw placement for spinal fractures with X-ray and CT assistant can optimize the accuracy of screw placement.Additionally,X-ray is cheap,repetitive and can reduce radiation injury,but has not been confirmed.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effect and imaging evaluation of X-ray in pedicle screw placement for spinal fractures.METHODS:Twenty patients with spinal fractures at T1-8 levels in our hospital from November 2014 to December 2016 were enrolled.The needles were placed along the pedicle axis at the middle of the pedicle,vertebral posterior and vertebral anterior,and its position was recorded by C-arm X-ray,100 pedicle screws were placed under C-arm X-ray,and then evaluated by CT to analyze the application effect of X-ray.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The screw length between the actual placement at T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7,T8 screw length under C-arm X-ray and virtual ones had no significant differences (P ＞ 0.05),suggesting that X-ray can optimize the accuracy of screw placement.A total of 100 screws were placed,94 screws were excellent,which were placed into the vertebral body completely,and the direction and depth were in accordance with the requirements.Six screws were good,some screws slightly worn out,but the cortical bone was less,and none was poor.No accident of pedicle violations was found.To conclude,C-arm X-ray-assisted screw placement for spinal fractures exhibits ideal outcomes.
