Objective To investigate the treatment options of clomiphene(CC) resistant polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) related infertility. Methods Figty nine PCOS patients with CC resistant anovulation were accepted and treated by the following three protcols :(1)follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) group, 49 cycles; (2)FSH +pulsatile gonadotropin releasing hormone(GnRH) group, 13 cycles; (3)conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF)_embryo transfer(ET) group, 19 cycles. Suppressive treatment on serum luteinising hormone (LH)and testosterone (T) levels was given in the first and second groups in advance. Serum estradiol level; pregnancy rate; miscarriage rate, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) and multiple pregnancy rate were compared among the three groups. Results The pregnancy rate in FSH group, FSH+GnRH group and IVF ET group werte 37%,54% and 22% respectively. The highest rate and multiple pregnancy rate was found in IVF ET group. Conclusion The rationale treatment options for CC resistant PCOS related infertility was the addition pre suppressive treatment, low dose FSH stimulated regimen subsequent pulsatile GnRH infusion. IVF were only accepted after failure with gonadotropin therapy.

Objective To investigate the variance of peripheral blood prolactin(PRL)in controlled ovarian stimulation.Methods Seventy-two patients,with totally 106 cycles receiving a long protocol of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist combined with gonadotropin(Gn)were randomly enrolled in this retrospective study.During controlled ovarian stimulation,peripheral blood hormones were measured by chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay.Results Prolactin was positively correlated with estradiol (r=0.5897.P＜0.01)while there was no significant correlation between luteinizing hormone and PRLProgesterone had a positive relation with prolactin(r=0.1412,P＜0.01).Conclusions During controlled ovarian stimulation,prolactin secretion is not affected by Gn but may be stimulated by estradiol.Progesterone has a positive relation with prolactin.

Objective To investigate the value of extravascular lung water index(EVLWI) in assessment of prognosis of elderly patients with combined septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage.Methods Totally 34 elderly patients with septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage in our hospital from Jan.2011 to Dec.2012 were selected.Cardiac index (CI),global end diastolic volume index (GEDI),systemic vascular resistance index (SVRI),pulmonary vascular permeability index (PVPI) and EVLWI were detected by pulse-indicator continuous cardiac output (PiCCO) technology for 3 days.Based on the actual body weight (ABW) and predicted body weight (PBW),the actual extravascular lung water index and predicted extravascular lung water index were calculated.Peak airway pressure (Ppeak),plateau pressure (Pplat),mean airway pressure (Pm),tidal volume (VT),positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP),oxygen concentration (FiO2) and static lung compliance (Cst) were monitored,the arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) was detected by blood gas analysis,and the PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) and oxygenation index (OI) were calculated.Chest X-ray,lung injury score (LIS) were conducted.The correlations of EVLWI to actual body weight (EVLWIa) and predicted body weight(EVLWIp) with P/F,Cst and LIS were analyzed.The predictive value of EVLWIa and EVLWIp in the prognosis in elderly patients with septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage was assessed.Results At day 1,non-survivors had higher levels of SOFA score and lactate level than survivors (both P＜0.05).However,these variables including SOFA score,LIS,PVPI,lactate level,fluid balance,norepinephrine level,EVLWIa and EVLWIp were higher and PaO2/FiO2 was lower in non-survivors than in the survivors at day 3 (all P＜0.05).EVLWIa and EVLWIp were positively correlated with LIS (r=0.461 and 0.588,both P＜0.05) and negatively correlated with PaO2/FiO2 (P/F) (r=-0.307 and-0.436,both P＜0.05).EVLWIa and EVLWIp had negatively correlations with Cst,but r=-0.141 and-0.154,both P＞0.05.Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that SOFA,EVLWa and EVLWp were independent predictive risk factors for mortality in elderly patients with septic shock and pulmonary capillary leakage.The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) of SOFA,EVLWIa and EVLWIp for predicting the prognosis were 0.769,0.832 and 0.855 respectively.With 11.96ml/kg as the cutoff point of EVLWIp,the sensitivity and specificity of EVLWIp predicting the survival of patients was 94.4％ and 61.5％ respectively.Conclusions Extravascular lung water can predict the prognosis and reflect the severity of lung injury in elderly patients with septic shock and puhnonary capillary leakage.Compared with EVLWIa,the EVLWIp has a better correlation with lung injury and a higher predictive value for survival.

To retrospectively analyze the clinical data of 176 patients of recurrent cerebral infarction at our hospital.Based upon the treatment of acute stroke trial (TOAST) classification,the types of recurrent ischemic stroke with initial brainstem infarction were classified.And univariate and multivariate logistic analyses of risk factors were performed.The major types in a decreasing order were atherosclerotic cerebral infarction (AT,n =24,70.6％),small arterial occlusive stroke (SA,n =8,23.5％) and cardiogenic cerebral embolism (CE,n =2,5.9％).Brainstem infarction was more likely to be affected by poor life habits and a history of diabetes mellitus (DM).And atrial fibrillation was a major independent risk factor for non-brainstem infarction.Multivariate logistic analysis showed that poor living habits (P =0.03),a history of DM (P =0.004),vulnerable plaque (P =0.01) and poor compliance of secondary prevention medication (P =0.02) were independent risk factors for recurrent ischemic stroke with initial brainstem infarction.Health education should be strengthened for preventing recurrent ischemic stroke with brainstem infarction.

Objective To investigate the etiology spectrum of hand , foot and mouth disease ( HFMD) and to analysis the molecular characteristics of three predominant human enterovirus stains in Qingdao in 2013.Methods The total enterovirus (EV) strains and strains of EV71, CVA16 and CVA6 in throat swabs of HFMD cases were detected by using multiplex real time RT-PCR.The full-length of the viral VP1 genes of the EV strains were amplified and sequenced .The sequences were phylogenetically analyzed by using the MEGA5.0 software package .Results A total of 841 patients with mild HFMD and 107 patients with serious HFMD were recruited in this study and 64 .3%of them were positive for EV .The predominant pathogens were EV71 (44.8%), CVA6 (28.2%) and CVA16 (9.5%) in 2013.CVA6 replaced CVA16 as the second most common pathogen for HFMD , accounting for 42.7% of all pathogens in children aged less than 3 years and 22.2%of all pathogens in the serious patients .The proportions of CVA6 in the etiology spectrum showed a downtrend along with the increasing age of the patients (P<0.001).Phylogenetic analy-sis of the complete VP1 gene sequences showed that all of the EV 71 strains identified in this study belonged to the subgenotype C4 (evolutionary branch C4a) and all of the CVA16 strains belonged to the subgenotype B1 (evolutionary branches B1a and B1b).There were 6 genogroups (A to F) regarding to the VP1 gene of CVA6 and all of the CVA6 strains identified in this study belonged to genogroups A and D .Among the CVA6 strains isolated in Qingdao in 2013, 83.9% belonged to genogroup A, while the rest 16.1% belonged to genogroup D.66.7%of the CVA6 strains isolated in 2012 belonged to genogroup A, while the rest 33.3%belonged to genogroup D .All of the CVA6 strains isolated from year 2008 to 2011 in Qingdao belonged to genogroup D.Conclusion EV71, CVA6 and CVA16 were the prevalent pathogens responsible for the de-velopment of HFMD in Qingdao in 2013.The proportions of CVA6 strains in the etiology spectrum showed a downtrend with the increasing age in children .C4a was the major subtype of EV71 strains circulating in Qingdao in 2013, while B1a and B1b were the major subtypes of CVA16 strains.The pattern of endemic cir-culation of CVA6 strains showed a trend of changing from genogroup D to A from year 2008 to 2013 .

Background and purpose:Hepatic epithelioid hemangioendothelioma (HEHE) is an extremely rare, vascularly original tumor, and would be misdiagnosed easily in the clinical and imaging characteristics. This study aimed to investigate the imaging features of HEHE and our experience in clinical diagnosis and treatment, and to provide important reference for the diagnosis and treatment of HEHE in the future.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed clinical manifestations, imaging features, pathological characteristics and treatment effects of 5 HEHE cases confirmed by pathology at Department of Integrative Cancer, Fudan University Shanghai Cancer Center.Results:The ratio of male to female patients was 2 to 3. HEHE predominantly occurred in middle-aged female patients whose ages range from 26 to 65 (mean=45.6). Imaging features of HEHE included multifocal hepatic disease (n=2), systemic multi-center multi-tissue occurrence (n=3). The ultrasound images showed isoechoic or hypoechoic lesions with no obvious blood lfow signal in the lesions. CT plain scan showed isointensity or hypointensity, while MR unenhanced with hypointense T1 signal and hyperintense T2 signal. The density or signal was uneven. Contrast-enhanced CT and MR images showed “slow in slow out”, obvious and variable degrees of peripheral rim enhancement. High FDG uptake showed delayed imaging characteristics (PET/CT). DSA angiography showed the tumor blood vessels were slim. After transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) surgery, lipiodol deposition within the lesion was not ideal. Under the microscope, tumor cells showed epithelial differentiation; angiogenesis was also visible. Immunohistochemistry staining showed CD31 and CD34 positive in all the 5 cases. Two cases treated with TACE combined with high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) and/or radiofrequency ablation (RFA) had good result.Conclusion:The clinical and radio-logical characteristics of HEHE are distinctive. Currently, for patients with systemic multi-organizational multi-center lesions, TACE combined with HIFU and/or RFA might be the most effective treatment method.

Objective To evaluate the value of transpulmonary pressure (Ptp) guided optimal positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) selection in patients with early acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).Methods A prospective randomized self-control study was conducted.ARDS patients in the early stage (onset ≤3 days) undergoing intubation and mechanical ventilation admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Jiangsu Provincial Subei People's Hospital from December 2013 to December 2015 were enrolled.The PEEP level was regulated to 30 cmH2O (1 cmH2O =0.098 kPa) after recruitment maneuver,and then it was gradually decreased to 0 with lowering by 3 cmH2O every 5 minutes.The optimal PEEP was titrated by Ptp,lowest dead space fraction (VD/VT),highest static lung compliance (Cst),and optimal oxygenation,respectively.Parameters of respiratory mechanics and gas exchange were observed.Results Totally 28 patients with ARDS (including 17 male and 11 female) were included with the average age of (45 ± 12) years old,acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) score was 21 ± 9,oxygenation index (PaO2/FiO2) was (165 ± 76) mmHg (1 mmHg =0.133 kPa).① During decremental PEEP titration,Ptp was gradually decreased,and expiratory Ptp (Ptp-e) was more than zero [(1.3±0.3) cmH2O] when PEEP was (9.6 ± 2.3) cmH2O.Cst was initially improved until reaching a peak,and then deteriorated.Cst was highest [(50 ± 8) mL/cmH2O] when PEEP was (11.5 ± 2.4) cmH2O.PaO2/FiO2 reached the maximum [(312 ± 99) mmHg] at PEEP level of (18.0 ± 2.5) cmH2O.Compared with Ptp-e 3.00-5.99 cmH2O,PaO2/FiO2 was significantly decreased when Ptp-e became negative (all P ＜ 0.05).VD/VT was lowest (0.52 ±0.05) when PEEP was (10.1 ± 2.2) cmH2O.When compared with ventilation [inspiratory Ptp (Ptp-i) 0-2.99 cmH2O],it was significantly higher during high (Ptp-i ≥ 15 cmH2O,all P ＜ 0.05).② There were no statistically significant differences in the levels of optimal PEEP,Ptp-i and Ptp-e among Ptp,lowest VD/VT and highest Cst methods (all P ＞ 0.05),but they were significantly less than optimal oxygenation method (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with baseline and the method of optimal oxygenation,Cst in other three PEEP titration methods including Ptp,lowest VD/VT and highest Cst was improved obviously (mL/cmH2O:46± 7,47±9,50± 8 vs.30± 8,35 ± 10,all P ＜ 0.05).PaO2/FiO2 (mmHg) in the method of Ptp and lowest VD/VT were higher than the baseline (252 ± 86,258 ± 72 vs.165 ± 76,both P ＜ 0.05),but significantly lower than that of optimal oxygenation method (312 ± 99,both P ＜ 0.05),and did not significantly differ from that of highest Cst (268± 85,both P ＞ 0.05).Compared with baseline and the method of optimal oxygenation,VD/Vr improved significantly in ventilated patients on PEEP targeting with Ptp and lowest VD/VT (0.53±0.05,0.52±0.05 vs.0.59±0.05,0.58±0.04,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Titration the optimal PEEP level with the method of Ptp could promote collapse alveolar recruitment,improve oxygenation and lung compliance,decrease dead space ventilation,and will not cause alveolar excessive inflation in patients who undergoing mechanical ventilation with early ARDS.
