OBJECTIVETo study the clinicopathological characteristics diagnosis, differential diagnosis and etiology of demyelination pseudotumors of the brain.

METHODSThe clinical features, CT, MRI scan findings, corticosteroid therapeutic effects and follow-up data of 3 cases of demyelination pseudotumors of the brain were analysed, and pathological changes were observed by histologic (HE, Luxol fast blue and Bodian) and immunohistochemical (S-P method) techniques.

RESULTSThe acute onset of demyelination pseudotumors appeared to be more predominant in our data. Clinical manifestations included headache, vomiting, a depressed conscious level, dysphasia, and paresis. CT, MRI scans showed solitary or multiple lesions in cerebral hemisphere. All the patients presented excellent response to steroid treatment. Follow-up for a period of 6 to 31 months, revealed the absence of progression or recurrence. The pathological changes were mainly located in both cerebral hemispheres, in which there were relative axonal preservation in foci loss of myelin, reactive gliosis, profuse perivascular lymphocytic infiltration and mixtures of foamy macrophages.

CONCLUSIONDemyelination pseudotumor is a distinct clinicopathologic encephalitic entity. The findings of this study suggest that the cause of tumefactive demyelination may be related to an allergic reaction triggered by viral infection.

Objective To explore the efficacy and safety of uterine lower posterior wall breakwater-like suture technique in controlling the intraoperative bleeding of placenta previa. Methods From June 2016 to June 2017,47 patients were diagnosed placenta previa in Union Hospital,Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.Posterior wall breakwater-like suture technique was used preferentially,as for cases with poor myometrium layer,lower anterior wall stitch suture was used at the same time.Bilateral descending branches of uterine artery ligation and Cook balloon compression of uterine lower segment was conducted when necessary. The clinic data of the 47 cases were analyzed. Results Thirty cases(63.8, 30/47)were diagnosed placenta inccreta or percreta by ultrasound or MRI preoperatively.Senventeen cases were diagnosed as placenta accreta(36.2%,17/47).Thirty-four cases had the previous history of cesarean section.The average cervical canal length of 47 patients was(2.8±0.9)cm. There were 19 cases(40.4%,19/47)with 1 time posterior wall breakwater-like sutured and 16 cases (34.0%,16/47)with 2 or 3 times posterior wall breakwater-like sutured; 12 cases(25.5%,12/47)were treated with anterior wall stitch suture simultaneously.Ten cases(21.3%, 10/47)underwent uterine artery ligation, 17 cases(36.2%, 17/47)underwent COOK balloon compression on the staxis surface of lower segment. None of them had postpartum hemorrhage or performed internal iliac artery embolization. The median blood loss in the operation was 700 ml,the percentiles 25 was 500 ml,and the percentiles 75 was 1 200 ml.The blood loss≥1 000 ml in 18(38.3%,18/47)patients,and the most serious one was 2 500 ml. The median blood transfusion volume(including allogenetic transfusion and autotransfusion)was 450 ml, the percentiles 25 was 228 ml,and the percentiles 75 was 675 ml.The average vaginal bleeding volume was (150 ± 63)ml first day after operation. The mean hospitalization time was(4.7 ± 1.0)days. The mean gestational weeks of pregnancy termination was(36.1±1.5)weeks,and the mean birth weight of newborns was(2 817±492)g.Apgar score:1-minute 7.8±1.1,5-minute 8.9±0.8.No neonatal death, 16 cases were transferred to neonatal ICU(34.0%, 16/47)mainly for premature delivery and low birth weight. No complication was found in 6 months post-operation. Conclusions Uterine posterior wall breakwater-like suture technique is a simple,safe and effective way in controlling intraoperative bleeding of placental previa. Lower anterior wall stitch suture could effectively stop bleeding and restore the normal uterine shape. Combined application of various methods could significantly reduce the incidence of postpartum hemorrhage and hysterectomy,and improve maternal and fetal prognosis.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of sleep disorders and the relevant determinants in a cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients.Methods One hundred patients with SLE were included in the study.Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).Depression,anxiety,quality of life,and fatigue were evaluated by patient health questionnaire (PHQ)-9,generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)-7,short form 36 health survey (SF-36),and visual analogue scale (VAS) respectively.The demographic and clinical data were also recorded.SLE disease activity and damage severity were assessed by systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index (SLEDAI) and systemic lupus erythematosus damage index (SDI) respectively.Mann-Whitnry U test,t test,Logistic regression were used for statistically analysis.Results The prevalence of sleep disorders in SLE patients was 42％.Compared with patients without sleep disorders,the ratio of males and married patients,age,the score of SDI,PHQ-9,GAD-7,and fatigue were higher in SLE patients with sleep disorders,while the score of SF-36 was lower (r＜0.05).Age,SLEDAI,SDI,PHQ-9,GAD-7,and fatigue correlated positively with sleep disorders (The values of r were 0.215,0.230,0.311,0.529,0.455,0.541,P＜0.05).C3 and the score of SF-36 correlated negatively with sleep disorders (The values of r were-0.204,-0.342,-0.490,-0.464,-0.497,-0.590,-0.428,-0.478,-0.398,-0.412,-0.659respectively,P＜0.05).In multi-ple logistic regression analyses,gender (OR=22.22),anxiety (OR =2.895),body pain (OR =0.964),and energy (OR =0.947) were the independent determinants of sleep disorders (R2=0.494,P＜0.01).Conclusion Poor sleep quality is common in SLE patients.Gender,age,disease activity and severity,anxiety,depressed mood,and quality of life contribute significantly to sleep disorders in SLE.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the association between the mitochondrial DNA(mtDNA)3537A/G,5351A/G variant and type 2diabetes mellitus(T2DM)in northem Chinese population.METHODS:The subjects including 614 patients with T2DM in Dalian City,61 of them were collected from family survey,497 of them were collected from Department of Endocrine,Dalian Municipal Central Hospital,and the remained 56 were selected from diverging T2DM patients in Dalian City.Additional 344 cases with normal carbohydrate toierance were served as controls.The mtDNA 3537A/G.5351A/G variants in 614 patients with T2DM and 334 healthy control subjects were examined.By sequencing the mtDNA in 24 cases and 26 controls,2 candidate SNPs in mtDNA were determined,and then genotyping was carried out by using PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP)analysis.RESULTS:The frequency of mtDNA A3537G and A5351G mutation was 2.0%and 2.6% in T2DM patients,respectively,which was 2.1%and 4.2% in the control group.No significant difference had been observed between case and control(P＞0.05).After stratifying by body mass index and blood pressure,we found that the frequency of A5351 G in obesity patients with T2DM was 1.61%,and in obesity control was 15.38%,which had significant difference(P_(Fisher)=0.02,OR=2.76),however,A3537G stili showed no significant difference in all groups(P＞0.05).CONCLUSION:5351A/G in mtDNA ND2 gene may be a variance associated with T2DM in northem Chinese.

To investigate the social support level and its influencial factors in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and to develop the management strategies for chronic disease.
 Methods: Patients with SLE were investigated by Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7), 36-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-36) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) of fatigue. The demographic and clinical data of SLE patients were recorded. SLE disease activity and damage severity were assessed by SLE Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) and SLE Damage Index (SDI), respectively. Influencial factors for social support were analyzed.
 Results: A total of 246 patients were included. Social support scores for these patients were 40.76±7.93 and the scores showed no significant difference with the national norm (P>0.05). Patients who were younger than 18, single, unemployed or damaged by disease showed lower level of social support (P<0.05). Compared with the high social support group, patients in the low social support group experienced more severe depression or anxiety, and scored lower on mental component summary scale (vitality, social functioning, emotional role and mental health perception) and physical role of SF-36 (P<0.05).
 Conclusion: Social support levels for patients with SLE are closely related to the quality of life, and influenced by age, marital status, professional condition, and disease damage. Health education for patients and their families should be strengthened in chronic disease management to enhance social support and finally, improve their quality of life.
