OBJECTIVETo explore the curative effect of surgery and selerotherapy for massive venous malformations of the tongue.
METHODSFrom January 2005 to December 2014, subtotal resection or debulking for 15 cases of massive venous malformation in the tongue was undertaken with multiple sessions of pre- and post-operative injection therapy of pingyangmycin, lauromacrogol and absolute ethanol.
RESULTSAll signs associated with the lesions including eating, sleep and speech disorders disappeared after treatment. Complete or near complete resolution was achieved in 9 cases, and a significant reduction in size in a further 6 cases after surgical excision and peri-operative sclerotherapy.
CONCLUSIONSFor massive venous malformations of the tongue, surgical excision combined with multiple sessions of sclerotherapy is a good treatment option.

Objective To explore the effects of wearing ankle-foot orthoses (AFOs) on motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). Methods Fifty-two children with SCP were randomly divided into a wearing-for-training group (n = 16, group 1 ), a day-wearing group (n = 19, group 2) and a day-night-wearing group (n = 17, group 3). In addition to the conventional rehabilitative treatment given to all participants, the children in group 1 wore AFOs during movement training, and children in group 2 wore AFOs in the daytime for 6-8 h per day, while AFOs were applied to the children in group 3 for 24 hours a day except for cleaning and during certain training routines. All the treatments were continued for 2 months. Clinical assessments included the range of passive ankle dorsi-and plantarflexion (APROM) , modified Ashworth scale (MAS) ratings, and the D and E dimensions of the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM). All were performed before and after treatment. Results Before treat-ment, no statistically significant differences were found among the three groups in terms of APROM, MAS, or GM-FM. There were significant subsequent improvements in groups 2 and 3 when compared with group 1 in terms of APROM, MAS and GMFM results. Group 2's improvements in APROM and MAS results were not significantly better than those of group 3, but their average GMFM score improvements were significantly better. Conclusion Wearing AFOs in the daytime 6-8 hours per day is more effective in reducing spasticity and improving functional performance in children with SCP.

Objective To explore the prevalence of anxiety and depression among the medical staff of a children's hospital, and to understand their relationship with age, gender, educational background, family income, family harmony, position, marital status, experience, title, work pressure, weekly working hours, chronic diseases and stressful events.Methods The medical staff of a children's hospital were evaluated using Zung's self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS).The scores were correlated with age, gender, educational background, family income, family harmony, position, marriage, working years, title, work pressure, weekly working hours, chronic diseases, and stressful events data collected about the same respondents.Results There were 320 respondents suffering from anxiety disorders and 392 experiencing depression among the 677 medical staff surveyed.There were 288 who suffered from anxiety associated with depression.There was a significant difference between the males and the females.Marital status, family harmony, chronic disease and stress events were all significant predictors of anxiety or depression.A univariate analysis showed that neither education nor family income had significant predictive power, but age, professional title,working years, working pressure and working in different departments were all significant predictors.Medical staff with different weekly working hours showed significantly different average levels of anxiety, but position had no such effect.Position was, though, significantly correlated with depression score, while weekly working hours were not.Multivariable logistic regression models showed that educational background, working pressure, family harmony, chronic disease and stressful events were all significant predictors of anxiety.Working pressure, family harmony and chronic disease were related to depression.Conclusion Significant anxiety and depression were observed among the medical staff of this children's hospital.Working pressure, family harmony and chronic disease are strong predictors of anxiety and depression.

This study was aimed to establish an analysis method of amentotaxus biflavone distribution in rats' tissues, including the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidney, brain, stomach, large intestine and small intestine, in order to investigate its distribution characteristics in tissues after rats gavaged with amentotaxus biflavone. HPLC-UV was employed to determine contents of amentotaxus biflavone in rats' tissues. The intragastric administration dose of amentotaxus biflavone was 500 mg·kg-1. Rats were sacrificed by cervical dislocation 10 min, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 12 h after intragastric administration. Tissues of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidney, stomach, large intestine, small intestine and brain were removed and dissected immediately. Distribution of amentotaxus biflavone in each tissue was determined after processing. The results showed that tissue in different range had a good linear range. The lowest detection limit was 0.125 ng. The RSD of intra and inter-day was less than 10%. The absolute recovery rate of amentotaxus biflavone in each tissue was between 75.07% and 89.80%. The relative recovery rate was between 92.00% and 107.00%. Amentotaxus biflavone in each tissue was stable in different tissues in refrigerator of -20° C for 15 days. It was concluded that there were relatively large concentration differences of amentotaxus biflavone in different tissues. After intragastric administration, amentotaxus biflavone was mainly distributed in the stomach, large intestine, small intestine, liver and kidney, and then the heart, lungs and spleen. It also distributed in brain tissues through the blood-brain barrier.

Objective The studies on tissue culture and cytological observations of leaf explants of Curculigo orchioides were conducted in order to provide the basis for the rapid propagation of C. orchioides. Methods Young leaf explants of C. orchioides were cultured on MS basal media. Differences in the callus induction and plantlet regeneration rate were observed by different light treatment as well as chemical factors like different phytohormones, casein hydrolysate (CH), and activated charcoal (AC) concentrations. Paraffin method was used to cytological observation. Results For callus induction of leaf explants of C. orchioides, dark treatment gave better results compared to light treatment; among the media tested, the suitable phytohormone combinations were 2.0 mg/L 2, 4-D or 6-BA 1.5 mg/L+2, 4-D 2.5 mg/L, and 300 mg/L CH+0.2% AC was good for plantlet regeneration from leaf explants. The callus from leaf explants mainly originated from midrib. The parenchyma cells near epicuticle of midrib firstly were initiated to division. Then the parenchyma cells of vascular bundle sheath and mesophyll cells on each side of vascular bundle were also divided to form callus. The buds developed on the peripheral parts of the calli, but the roots developed in the regions deep within the calli. Conclusion Tissue culture of young leaf explants of C. orchioides can make the propagation of C. orchioides rapid.

Objective:To investigate the clinical effect of enteral nutrition (EN) on patients with acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).Methods:96 cases of acute exacerbation of COPD patients admitted to our hospital from January 2015 to December 2016 were randomly divided into observation group (48 cases) and control group (normal diet,48 cases).The patients in two groups were given anti-infection and other symptomatic treatments equally.The serum protein levels and pulmonary function in the two groups were compared after 2 weeks.Furthermore,antibiotic use durations,hospitalization days and the re-admission rates within 3 months were observed and compared between two groups.Results:The serum albumin and pre-albumin levels,FEV1 and FEV1/FVC in the observation group were significantly elevated in comparison with those in the control group.And the antibiotic use durations,hospitalization days and the re-admission rates within 3 months remarkably decreased in the observation group (P < 0.05).Conclusion:Enteral nutrition could improve the nutritional status and pulmonary function in patients with acute exacerbation of COPD,shortening the length of hospital stay and the durations of antibiotic use and reducing the rates of re-admission.Enteral nutrition may be worth applying widely in clinical COPD patients in future.
