OBJECTIVE:To observe therapeutic efficacy of adjunctive treatment of Shenghua decoction for abortion in the ear-ly pregnancy. METHODS:228 patients with abortion in the early pregnancy collected from our hospital were randomly divided into control group and observation group with 114 cases in each group. Control group was given mifepristone 25 mg,bid,and addition-al misoprostol 600 μg on the forth day,qd,for 4 days. Observation group was additionally given misoprostol orally on the forth day,2 h later,Shenghua decoction,bid,for consecutive 7 days. The rate of abortion,bleeding time,amount of bleeding,normal activity time after abortion,and the incidence of ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:The rate of abortion in observation group was 96.5%,which was higher than that of control group (85.1%),with statistical significance (P<0.05). The bleeding time,amount of bleeding and normal activity time of observation group were significantly lower or shorter then those of control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). The incidence of ADR in observation group was significantly lower than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The adjunctive treatment of Shenghua decoction have good effect on abortion in the early pregnancy with less ADR.

Objective To investigate the effects of balance training on balance function and walking ability of hemiplegic patients.Methods 42 hemiplegic patients were randomly divided into the balance training group and control group with 21 cases in each group. All patients of two groups were given conventional rehabilitation therapy. Patients in the balance training group were mainly trained for balance function. The balance function and walking ability were assessed with Fugl-Meyer Balance Test and Holden Walking Classification before and after training.Results There was no significant difference between two groups before training ( P>0.05). After training, the balance scores were significantly improved in the balance training group compared with control group ( P<0.05). All patients could not walk independently before training. After training, 71% patients in the balance training group (control group was 51%) could walk independently, and there was significant difference between two groups ( P<0.05).Conclusion Balance training has important effect to improve balance function and walking ability of patients with hemiplegia.

Tumor stage and lymph node involvement are the most important prognostic factors for patients with locally advanced cervical cancer. For cervical cancer, gynecologic oncologists generally apply the criteria of the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics(FIGO). However, in the current FIGO 2018 staging system, stage ⅢC is based only on the anatomical location of metastatic lymph nodes, without considering local tumor factors and other lymphatic status parameters, which limits its prognostic significance to a certain extent. The aim of this article is to summarize the influence of local tumor factors and different lymphatic status parameters on prognosis and treatment options for stage ⅢC cervical cancer.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of acupuncture in the treatment of depression after stroke. Methods 90 patients with cerebral apoplexy were randomly divided into 2 groups according to the random number table, with 45 cases in each group. Patients in both groups were given routine western medicine treatment, and guided to carry out suitable limb function rehabilitation training. In addition, the control group was given traditional acupuncture treatment, while the treatment group was given the brain acupuncture treatment with tiaodu in addition to the traditional acupuncture treatment. Hamilton depression scale (HAMD) was used to assess the degree of depression, Chinese stroke scale (CSS) was used to evaluate the degree of neurological deficit, and barthel index (BI) was used to evaluate the activity of daily living (ADL). Results After treatment, the treatment group has a lower CSS score than that of the control group (11.38 ± 3.94 vs. 15.16 ± 4.52, t=4.229), and a lower HAMD score than that of the control group (6.25 ± 3.76 vs. 9.32 ± 5.06, t=3.267). Meanwhile, the treatment group has a higher BI score than that of the control group (69.22 ± 7.05 vs. 55.67 ± 6.21; t=9.675, P<0.01). Furthermore, the treatment group has statistically significant higher cure rate than that of the control group (62.2% vs. 33.3%;χ2=6.413, P=0.011). Conclusions Tiaodu brain acupuncture treatment of depression after stroke has obvious clinical curative effect, and is superior to other traditional acupuncture method.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of Ebastine joint Compound Glycyrrhizin in treatment of acute and chronic urticarial, and its effect on serum IgE levels.Methods Eighty cases of a-cute and chronic urticaria patients were collected from January 2010 to June 2014 in our hospital for treat-ment.They were randomly divided into control group and observation group, 40 cases in each group, the patients in the control group oral ebastine 10mg 1 times /day, patients in the observation group were given Compound Glycyrrhizin on 75mg and oral ebastine 10mg, 1 times /d, acute urticaria patients were treated for one week of continuous treatment, patients with chronic urticaria were treated for 4 weeks in a row;IgE level was measured by ELISA.Results After treatment, effective rate of patients with acute urticaria was 94.44%in the observation group, the control group was 68.42%; patients with chronic urticaria observa-tion group was 95.45%, the control group was 71.43%, a significant difference ( P <0.05 ) between the observation group and control group.IgE levels in both groups after treatment were reduced compared with before treatment ( P <0.01), after treatment IgE levels of patients had higher degree of improvement in the observation group, differences were statistically significant ( P <0.05).Conclusions The clinical effica-cy of ebastine joint Compound Glycyrrhizin on treatment of acute and chronic urticaria are better than single ebastine, two drugs used in conjunction with synergistic effect by regulating the body's immune function, re-duce allergy strength, improve efficacy.

ObjectiveTo introduce the progressing history of DO technique,and report the characteristics of the home-made type MS-1 internal mandibular distracter, and the effects of application of it in animal experiment. Methods15 Mongrel dogs were subjected to be lengthened of the unilateral or bilateral mandibles using the home-made type MS-1 mandibular distracter, and the regular X-ray ex aminations were made. ResultsAbout (20±5)mm in length of the andible had been achieved by the DO (distraction of osteogenesis)technique using the device. The accuracy of the distracter on lengthening would be attained to 98 % of the expectancy. The mineralization of the new bone fulfilled the gap zone about 5 weeks after the distraction had been finished during the consolidation period. ConclusionThe MS-1 type internal mandibular lengthening device has its special advantages on ap plication of cranio-maxillofacial surgery with a great expectancy.

Objective To investigate the incidence and the risk factors of nosocomial infection in a surgical ICU (SICU) where infections occurred frequently. Methods A bacteriological investigation was prospectively done in all the inpatients of the SICU admitted in one month. Nosocomial infection was diagnosed according to Diagnostic Criteria of Nosocomial Infection published by Ministry of Health. The nurse who was responsible for the study should observe each patient carefully and fill in the progress note and monthly report of each ICU patient every day. When a case of infection was found, it should be recorded in the Record of Nosocomial Infection Case. The data were analyzed after the completion of the study. Results All the inpatients had undertaken prolonged use of interventional equipments such as urethral catheter, arterial or venous cannula, artificial ventilation, etc. The nosocomial infection rate was 22.7% in 22 inpatients. The daily infection incidence of urinary tract, blood, and lung was 26.8‰, 9.5‰, and 65.8‰, respectively. One patient was found to have pulmonary infection, urinary tract infection and bacteremia simultaneously. From the specimens from patients with nosocomial infection pathogenic bacteria were identified, including Stenotrophomonas maltophilia, Streptococcus viridans, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Achromobacter xylosoxidans, and Candida tropicalis were isolated. At the same time the drug sensitivity tests were carried out. During the monitoring period an outbreak of infection was controlled. Conclusions The aim of an objective monitoring is to solve the clinical problem and cut down the infection rate. In this group there are many risk factors, including old age, malignant tumor, major operation, severe pathological condition, long duration of stay, and so on. SICU is the department where rate of nosocomial infection is high. Comprehensive control measures must be carried out to lower the incidence of nosocomial infection.

Aphasia is one of the major complications after stroke, which needs an effective assessment. Event-related potential (ERP) has been widely researched in neurology, the endogenous components, such as P300, N400, mismatch negativity (MMN), contingent nega-tive variation (CNV) have been widely used in diagnosis and evaluation of the impairment of brain function, including the language func-tion. This paper discussed the application of different endogenous components of ERP in aphasia after stroke, especially the comparative analysis of N400 and P300.
