Chinese Journal of Primary Medicine and Pharmacy 2011;18(9):1174-1175
Objective To study the clinical effect and safety of Dinoprostone suppositories for cervical ripening and labor induction.Methods 50 primiparas with sinsle cephalic term pregnancy.cervical Bishop score≤6 points,with vaginal delivery conditions,no previous uterine scar or prostaglandin allergies or other contraindications were randomly divided into two groups:the dinoprostone suppositories group(observation group)and the sulfuric pula group(control group).The primiparas were administered sulfuric pula keto 200mg/day via intravenous injection for 3 days.Bishop score was assayed in both groups before treatment and 6h.12h after treatment to compare the effect of cervical ripening,labor rates,the total time of labor,mode of delivery,postpartum hemorrhage,neonatal outcomes and adverse reactions.Results Cervical scores were(3.85±0.72)point and(6.79±0.63)point in the observation group 6h and 12h after administration,which were significantly higher than those of control group[(2.85±0.41)point,(4.26±0.52)point](t=6.034,15.485,all P<0.05).Labor rates of 12h and 24h in the observation group were signitlcandy higher than control group.There Was no significant difference between two groups of neonatal outcomes and postpartum hemorrhage.Conclusion Dinoprostone suppositories sas safe and effective for cervical ripening and labor induction,without adverse effects on mothers and children.

Chinese Journal of General Practitioners 2017;16(2):118-121
Objective To assess the quality of life and its influencing factors in ellerly patients with advanced cancer.Methods The quality of life was evaluated with EORTC QLQ-C30 scale Chinese version in 103 elderly patients with advanced cancer in a hospital outpatient clinic of Beijing from July 2013 to July 2014.The overall health,physical function,role function,cognitive function,emotional function,social function and individual symptoms score were assessed.The general information and clinical data of patients were analyzed.Results The general score of quality of life in elderly advanced cancer patients was (35.77 ± 21.98).In the domain of function the role functional score was the lowest (36.60 ± 27.97);in the domain of symptoms the tired score was the highest(50.82 ± 30.16),the score of appetite loss was the highest in individual symptoms (39.78 ± 24.32).Educational level,marital status,living condition,medical insurance and the number of comorbidities were correlated with overall health in elderly patients with advanced cancer (P < 0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that the educational level (t =2.447,P < 0.05),marital status (t =2.118,P < 0.05),medical insurance (t =3.770,P < 0.05) and overall health status were positively correlated with the quality of life scores;and number of eomorbidities (t =-7.157,P < 0.05) was negatively associated with the overall quality of life.Conclusion The quality of life was generally poor in elderly patients with advanced cancer;and educational level,marital status,medical insurance,comorbidities are important influencing factors.

Objective To observe the analgesic effect of ultrasound-guided and nerve stimulator after artificial total knee athroplasty(TKA).Methods Forty elective cases receiving TKA under gen-eral anesthesia were randomly allocated into the ultrasound group (group C)and stimulator group (group S).The time for nerve block,onset time and complications were recorded in both groups. Results Compared to group S,the time for nerve block and onset time was significantly shortened in group C (P <0.05).There was no statistical difference in times of pressing analgesic pump and VAS score in postoperative 48 h.One patient suffered from nerve injury and two underwent vascular dam-age and hematoma in group S,while no complication was found in group C.Conclusion Compared to nerve stimulator,ultrasound-guided continuous femoral nerve block(CFNB)may reduce nerve block time and onset time and decrease complications,so that to increase safety of CFNB.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathologic changes of the lung epithelial tumor with epithelioid granuloma. Methods E-leven cases of lung malignant tumor with epithelial epithelioid granuloma reaction were studied according to the histological changes of lung epithelial tumor, immunophenotype, acid-fast staining, and tuberculosis PCR test results combined with follow-up data. Results The mean age was 62. 3 years, and male to female ratio was 10∶ 1. The main clinical manifestations displayed a cough, chest pain, fever and hemoptysis or bloody sputum. Nine cases were malignant tumors, tuberculosis or inflammatory lesions was 1 case each in pre-vious surgery. The tumor with epithelioid granuloma formation of the 11 cases displayed in the same site ( mixed) . The histopathologic changes of the lesions showed a epithelioid or typical tuberculous granulomas formation, including 4 cases of adenocarcinoma, 5 cases of squamous cell carcinoma and 2 cases of neuroendocrine tumors. The acid-fast bacilli staining was positive in 3 cases;6 cases were positive for PCR detection of mycobacterium tuberculosis. 5 patients died within 2 years due to various causes. Conclusions The lung epithelial tumors with epithelioid granuloma is more commonly found in the middle-aged, The signs and symptoms of the patients are similar to primary epithelial malignant tumors of the lung . The biological behavior was progressive with poor prognosis. The diagnosis of the lesions depends on pathological examination. It is very important to pay more attention to the pathological examination, especially in lung puncture samples, and the differential diagnosis for a definate diagnosis and treatment.

Objective To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of the gram positive bacteria isolates from hospital in Chongqing during 2006-2011 .Methods Non-repetitive gram positive bacterias were collected retrospectively from ten hospitals in Chongqing .Antimicrobial susceptibility testing of all clinical isolates were carried out using Kirby-Bauer(KB) .Results 14 473 strains were isolated .There were 4 840 strains of Staphylococcus aureus (33 .4% ) ,2 566 strains of Staphylococcus epidermidis (17 .7% ) ,1 822 strains of Staphylococcus haemolyticus (12 .6% ) ,1 325 strains of Enterococcus (E .faecalis/E .faecium )(9 .2% ) . Staphylococcus was highly sensitive to nitrofurantoin ,rifampicin ,piperacillin/tazobactam ,linezolid ,teicoplanin and vancomycin ,but their resistance rate to ampicillin/sulbactam ,oxacillin ,penicillin and clarithromycin was high .The resistance rate of E .faecium to the majority of antimicrobial agents was obviously higher than that of E .faecalis ,excluding imipenem ,chloramphenicol and tetracy-cline .Vancomycin and linezolid still remain the strongest antibacterial activity to Enterococcus .Conclusion The distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in Chongqing present regional particularity ,and antibiotic resistance is severe .It is significant to strengthen the epidemiology study of pathogenic bacteria and to develop policies to intervene in the use of antimicrobial agents .

Objective To evaluate the relationship between intestinal metaplasia (IM) and helicobacter pylori infection in elderly patients with chronic gastritis. Methods The patients over 60 years old and diagnosed as chronic gastritis by endoscopy from January 2008 to December 2009 were divided into two groups by pathological appearance. One group was chronic gastritis with IM (IM group), the other was chronic gastritis without IM (NIM group). The infection of helicobacter pylori, activity of inflammation, atrophy of gland, and folliculus lymphaticus in gastric mucosa were observed. Results The infection of helicobacter pylori, infiltration of neutrophil and atrophy ratio of gland were significantly higher in IM group than in NIM group (52.7% vs. 37.3%, 35.5% vs.24.0 %, 36.6 % vs. 3.5%, x2 = 10. 677, 7.641, 95. 606; P = 0. 001, 0. 006, 0. 000, respectively).There was no statistical difference in presentation of folliculus lymphaticus between IM group and NIM group (x2 = 0.003, P=0. 957). The infiltration of neutrophil and presentation of folliculus lymphaticus were significantly higher in helicobacter pylori positive patients than in helicobacter pylori negative patients (45.8% vs. 14.8%, 42.6% vs. 4.2%, both P=0.000). Conclusions The appearance of IM seems to be related with helicobacter pylori infection, activity inflammation and atrophy of gland. The presentation of folliculus lymphaticus seems to be closely related with helicobacter pylori infection. The eradication treatment of helicobacter pylori infection in the elderly chronic gastritis patients should be strengthened.
