Objective: To evaluate the effect of flotation therapy on the attention of undergraduates. Method: Subjects were 53 undergraduates (26 male, 27 female). They were randomly divided into 5 groups. Group 1,2,3 and group 4 were flotation groups and group 5 was control group. Each subject finished four therapies. Visual attention attribution and diversion (T5) and bilateral two- choice reaction time (T8) were used as the indexes. Result: As a whole, the T5 and T8 times of the subjects in the flotation groups were shortened in the course of the therapy. The promotion of attention in the male subjects was better than that in the female subjects. There was no significant difference between the changes of bilateral two-choice reaction time. The promotion in the flotation subjects was significantly better than that in the control subjects and it could not be explained totally by practice effect. Conclusion: The attention of the subjects can be promoted by flotation therapy. This study could not support the assumption that flotation therapy could promote the function of right brain as some prior studies declared.

Objective To retrospective analysis of the clinical effect and complications of the semi-laminectomy approach on the treatment of intra-spinal tumor.To summarize the endoscopic treatment experience of intra-spinal tumor.Methods To retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 24 cases with intra-spinal tumor in Shanxi Provincial People's Hospital from January 2008 to September 2015.The diagnosis of the intra-spinal tumor was confirmed by preoperative MRI examination.Intraoperative application of endoscopic surgery in the resection of tumor.Longterm followed up of patient was implemented and observe the efficacy and complications after surgery.Results Postoperative symptoms of all patients have different degrees of improvement,the degrees of sensory disorder was reduce,the limb muscle strength was increased and alleviate the damages of nerve electrophysiology.No serious complications were found after operation.Of the 24 patients,17 cases were total resection of the tumor and 7 cases were subtoal resection of the tumor.Tethered cord release was operated in patients with tethered spinal cord.Conclusions Endoscopic resection assisted semi-laminectomy approach of intra-spinal tumor has slight damage to the surround structures and the impact to the anatomy of the spine was small.Endoscopic assisted semi-laminectomy approach may have siginficant clinical effect on intra-spinal tumor,and have good security.

Objective To evaluate the excursion of the diaphragm and analyze the value in predicting weaning from mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit patients.Methods The patients with mechanical ventilation (＞48 hours) in ICU at Hebei Forth Medical University Hospital from June 2014 to December were classified into a success group or a failure group according to the weaning outcome.T-piece spontaneous breathing (SBT),airway occlusion pressure at 0.1 sec (P0.1) and maximal inspiratory pressure (MIP),rapid shallow breathing index (RSBI) and P0.1/MIP were measured or calculated.During the period of the 1 st hour SBT,the excursion of diaphragm was measured with ultrasonography.The predictive value of each parameter to weaning was evaluated with ROC curve.Results A total of 98 patients were enrolled in this study,including 74 successfully weaning and 24 failed.There were significant differences between two groups (success group and failure group) in P0.1 [(2.00 ± 2.00) cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) vs (3.00 ±2.75)cmH2O,P ＜0.05],RSBI (39.14 ± 16.81 vs 52.00 ± 19.18,P ＜0.05),left diaphragmatic excursion [(1.12 ± 0.97) cm vs (0.69 ± 1.00) cm,P ＜ 0.001],right diaphragmatic excursion(1.87 ± 0.75) cm vs (1.17 ± 0.76) cm,P ＜ 0.001] and mean value of left and right diaphragmatic excursion [(1.57 ± 0.52) cm vs (0.83 ± 0.53) cm,and P ＜ 0.001].The ventilation time [2.00 (2.00-4.00) d vs 4.00 (2.00-5.00) d],ICU hospital lengths of stay [4.50 (3.00-7.25) d vs 8.50 (6.25-15.25) d] and total hospital lengths of stay [20.00 (15.00-25.25) d vs 25.00 (20.25-37.25)d] were also statistically significant in success group and failure group respectively (all P ＜ 0.05).The cutoff value of diaphragmatic excursion for predicting successful extubation was determined to be 1.14 cm by ROC curve analysis.The sensitivity of diaphragmatic excursion to predict successful weaning was 89.2％ and the specificity was 75.0％,the AUCROC was 0.849.Conclusion As an early predictor of diaphragmatic dysfunction,diaphragmatic excursion is probably superior to the traditional parameters in predicting weaning from ventilator in ICU patients.

Objective · To evaluate the clinical characteristics of endometrial pathology in postmenopausal women with asymptomatic thickened endometrium. Methods · A retrospective review was conducted of the patients between October 2013 and October 2015 in the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital. The postmenopausal women with asymptomatic thickened endometrium of 5 mm or more found by transvaginal ultrasonography were recruited. They underwent hysteroscopy and endometrial sampling to analyze the relationship between endometrial pathology and endometrial thickness. Results · A total of 257 patients were recruited. The average age was 61.3 years old, the average menopause period was 122 months, and the average endometrium thickness was 8.6 mm. The endometrial pathology included normal atrophic endometrium, endometrial polyp, submucous myoma, intrauterine adhesion, uterine septum, endometrial hyperplasia and endometrial cancer. The most common pathological type was endometrial polyp, accounting for 66.9% of the all patients and 83.9% (172/205) of all pathological types. Three cases of adenocarcinoma (1.2%) were diagnosed. There was significant difference in endometrial thickness among normal endometrium, endometrial polyp and endometrial cancer (P<0.05). The endometrium in endometrial cancer was the thickest, which was (13.20±5.38) mm averagely. There was significant difference in ages among the pathological types (P=0.004). Conclusion · There are few patients of malignancy among asymptomatic postmenopausal women with thickened endometrium. Follow-up visits were recommended to these women.
