Objective To explore the clinical effects of biofeedback (BF) therapy on functional constipation (FC) caused by pelvic floor dys-synergia (PFD).Methods Forty patients with FC caused by PFD were enrolled and given BF therapy twice a week for 5 weeks.Constipation symptom scores and anal motility were recorded before and after the therapy.Results All the patients enrolled finished the BF therapy,with a total effectiveness rate of 80％.Both the constipation symptom scores and anal residual pressure during defecation had decreased significantly after therapy.Rectal gradient pressure,however,had increased significantly.Conclusion Biofeedback can relieve the clinical symptoms of FC and improve pelvic floor coordination during defecation.It is worth applying in clinical practice.

87%. CONCLUSIONS The surveillance of overexpressing AmpC ?-lactamases in cefoxitin-resistant Gram-negative bacillus must be enhanced.The therapy of infections caused by related bacillus should make imipenem and meropenem a chief choice.DHA-1,CMY-2 and CMY-22 AmpC enzymes are found in Fuzhou.

Objective To evaluate the effect of clinical nursing pathway in emergency treatment of for-eign body in respiratory tract of children. Methods Retrospective analysis was carried out in 555 children with foreign body in respiratory tract from February 2005 to December 2007, who were divided into the control group (271 cases) and the experimental group (284 cases). The experimental group was given managed with standardized clinical pathway,the control group received routine management. The preoperative preparation time, average hospital stay, cost of hospitalization, the extent of mastering of health knowledge by patients'par-ents were observed and the data underwent χ2 and t test. Results All patients of the two groups were cured and no nursing complications happened.The mean preoperative preparation time of the experimental group was 10 hours, which was shorter than that of the control group(27 hours). The average length of hospital stay of the experimental group was (4.13 + 0.81)days, which was shorter than that of the control group ,(6.03 + 1.30) days.The average hospitalization cost of the experimental group was (3498.55 + 269.13) yuan, while the control group was(4246.40 + 977.10) yuan. The extent of mastering of health knowledge by patients' parents, including basic knowledge of the disease, preoperative cooperation knowledge,prevention knowledge and diet knowledge, was superior to that of the control group. Conchusions The establishment of clinical pathway of children with foreign body is conducive to the standardized treatment of the disease, it can shorten the preoperative prepara-tion time, improve the capability of emergency treatment, shorten the length of hospital stay, reducing hospital-ization costs, increase the extent of mastering of health knowledge by patients and their families.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the behavior difference of allergic rhinitis with adenoid hypertrophy between study group and control group. METHOD: One hundred and seventeen children diagnosed as allergic rhinitis with adenoid hypertrophy were enrolled in our study were divided into study group and control group. Forty-two children treated with local steroid nasal spray for two to three months and antihistamine were control group. Seventy-five children treated with endoscopic adenoidectomy and drug treatment were study group; All children' parents were inquired for their clinical presentation. RESULT: No distinctive differences were found between the two groups (P > 0.05) in adenoid hypertrophy, accompanying nasal problems and clinical questionnaire scoring. Significant statistical distinction were found (P < 0.05) in snoring, sleep disturbance and frequent arousal, nasal obstructive moth-breathing, and recurrent respiratory tract infection between the two groups after three-month follow up. CONCLUSION Endoscopic adenoidectomy should be taken into account for allergic rhinitis with adenoid hypertrophy in children. Adenoidectomy would be useful for the improvement of behavior symptoms.

Pulmonary fluid refers to a thin and continuous liquid layer mainly consisting of airway mucus and lining liquid on the inner surface of alveoli, which is essential for maintaining a healthy lung. The clinical significance of rheological properties of pulmonary fluid in airway stability, pulmonary barrier and clearance functions, ventilator induced lung injury and surfactant replacement therapy in infant respiratory distress syndrome was introduced in this paper. Furthermore, a variety of classical methods for measuring surface tension and liquid viscosity, such as Langmuir-Wilhelmy balance, captive bubble method, glass capillary viscometer and rotational viscometer, and emerging techniques (e.g. particle tracking microrheometer and axisymmetric drop shape analysis) were reviewed, and their advantages and drawbacks were also compared, in order to provide an important reference for the assisted diagnosis and treatment of lung diseases in clinical practice.
