Objective To compare the efficacy of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) with that of surgical treatment for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS) in elderly patients. Methods Seventy patients with OSAHS were divided into a study group and a control group according to different treatment methods. The study group received CPAP, while the control group underwent surgical treatment. One month after treatment, apnea-hypopnea index (AHI), lowest oxygen saturation (LSaO2), ESS scale value, coagulation factors, and platelet count were measured in both groups. Results AHI and LSaO2 were lower and ESS scale value was higher in the study group than in the control group, but with no significant differences (P>0.05). After treatment, all the indexes of coagulation factors were increased in the control group, but only plasma clotting factorⅡactivity had a significant statistical difference (P<0.05); (FⅡ: C) and (FⅧ: C) were significantly lower in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05); platelet count significantly increased in the control group (P<0.05), but markedly declined in the study group (P<0.05). Conclusions Both CPAP and surgical treatment have a better effiacy for obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome. CPAP can more effectively improve coagulation function and lower the risks of complications.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the characteristics and regularity of ADR induced by gynecological Chinese patent medi-cine,and to provide reference for rational use of gynecological Chinese patent medicine. METHODS:ADR reports were collected from gynecological ADR reporting information system of our hospital during 2008-2105;all ADR cases of Chinese patent medicine were collected and analyzed. RESULTS:No severe ADR was found among 41 cases of Chinese patent medicine-induced ADR,24 cases of new and common ADR(58.54%),17 cases of common ADR(41.46%);the incidence of ADR was in high level 1-3 d after medicating,being 97.6%. Main routes of administration were oral administration(19 cases,46.3%)and vaginal administra-tion(15 cases,36.6%)in ADR cases. Clinical manifestations were gastrointestinal reaction(29.97%),systemic reaction(19.15%) and mild injury of reproductive system(17.02%),etc. CONCLUSIONS:Chinese patent medicine is relatively safety in gynecologi-cal department. However,caution should be exercised in special cases and different medication.

Nephroblastoma is the most common pediatric renal tumor.The research progress of gene mutations in Wilms tumor children is reviewed in this paper.The WT1 gene,CTNNB1 gene and WTX gene plays a role in onset of Wilms tumor,and the MYCN gene,P53 gene and SIX1 gene may be associated with the prognosis.

Objective To explore the relationship between serum hs -CRP,IL -17 levels and senium type 2 diabetic macrovascular complications and its clinical significance.Methods The serum levels of hs -CRP and IL-17 were measured with immunoturbidimetry and ELISA respectively in 80 cases of type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications,80 cases of the absence of any major vascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes and 80 healthy subjects as the control.Results The serum hs -CRP and IL -17 levels of senium type 2 diabetic Patients with macrovascular complications were significantly higher than those of patients without macrovascular complication and healthy control group(t =19.18,23.14,all P <0.01);And serum hs -CRP and IL -17 levels of seniumtype 2 diabetic patients without macrovascular complications were also significantly higher than those of the healthy control group (t =23.64,19.97,all P <0.05 );While serum hs -CRP and IL -17 levels in different subgroup of type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications were no significantly statistical significance(F =1.08,1.49,all P >0.05);In patients of type 2 diabetic Patients with macrovascular complications,hs -CRP was positively correlated with serum IL -17(r =0.712,P <0.05).Conclusion Hs -CRP and IL -17might be involved in the process of inflammatory response to diabetic macroangiopathy,and may have important role in the pathogenesis of senium type 2 diabetic patients with macrovascular complications.Detemination of hs -CRP and IL -17 levels in type 2 diabetic patients may be useful for early detecting diabetic macrovascular complications and serve as the index in monitoring the state of diabetic macrovascular complications.

Objective: To explore correlation between serum uric acid (UA) level and heart failure severity in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease (CPHD).Methods:According to New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function classification, a total of 98 CPHD patients were divided into class I~II group (n=36), class III group (n=31) and class IV group (n=31).Another 30 healthy subjects were enrolled as healthy control group simultaneously.Serum UA level was measured in all groups.Real time three-dimensional color Doppler echocardiography was used to measure left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and left ventricular end-diastolic dimension (LVEDd), and the results were compared among all groups.Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant rise in serum UA level[(342.4±101.7) μmol/L vs.(459.6±110.3) μmol/L]and incidence rate of hyperuricemia (33.33% vs.58.16%) in CPHD group, P<0.05 both;along with NYHA class increased, there were significant rise in serum UA level[(350.7±103.4) μmol/L vs.(422.3±106.7) μmol/L vs.(491.8±113.2) μmol/L], LVEDd [(59.2±10.1)mm vs.(64.3±9.8)mm vs.(68.9±10.6)mm], and significant reduction in LVEF[(37.7±9.8)% vs.(31.9±8.6)% vs.(28.4±8.1)%]in CPHD patients, P<0.05 all;linear correlation analysis indicated that serum UA level was significant positively correlated with LVEDd (r=0.67, P=0.026), and significant inversely correlated with LVEF (r=-0.86, P=0.033).Conclusion: Serum uric acid level can be used as a reliable index evaluating heart failure severity in patients with chronic pulmonary heart disease.

With conventional double-antibody sandwich technique,total IgE level in35 serum samples from malignant lymphoma patients and 35 matched normalcontrols was measured by ELISA.It was found that there was a statisticallyhigher total IgE levels in patients than in the control(p

0.05).The expressions were remarkably of endometrial ER、VEGF and KDR in the study group as extremely lower than those in the control group,and the statistical difference between the two groups were all significant(P0.05).Conclusion:ER、VEGF and KDR may be relevant to the occurrence of hypomenorrhea.

One hundred fifteen surgical specimens were studied by gram-stain, aerobic and anaerobic cultu- res, as well as gas chromatography, respectively. One hundred seventy six strains, including ninety five aerobic and eighty one anaerobic strains, were isolated. The results suggested that diagnosis of anaerobic bacteria by gas chromatography could be accomplished within 1 h. The specificity of this method was 98.11% and the sensitivity, 90.47%. In addition, the early identification of anaerobic bacteria could be made also. There is higher value for rapid diagnosis of anaerobic infection with gas chromatography.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of poractant alfa injection(curosurf)combined with nasal continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP)in the treatment of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome(NRDS). Methods Fifty patients of infants with NRDS were divided into 25 cases of observation group(curosurf combined with CPAP)and 25 cases of control group(CPAP)according to the methods of the treatment.The differences in treatment efficacy rate and arterial blood gas index were compared.Results The efficacy rate of the observation group (88%)was higher than that of the control group(56%),the difference between the two groups was statistically significant(χ2 =4.861,P <0.05 ).After the treatment,the arterial blood gas index of the observation group were improved obviously compared with that before the treatment,the differences were statistically significant(all P <0.05).After the treatment,the arterial blood gas index of the control group were improved obviously compared with that before the treatment,the differences were statistically significant(all P <0.05).After treatment,the differences in pH value,PaO2 and PaCO2 of the observation group were statistically significant compared with the control group(t =6.00,8.49,4.46,all P <0.05).Conclusion Poractant alfa injection combined with nasal CPAP in the treatment of NRDS is better than using CPAP alone.
