Objective To analyze the clinical features and diagnostic experiences of retroperitoneal neuroendocrine carcinoma (NEC).Methods Clinical data of primary retroperitoneal NEC from January 2000 to January 2012 were retrospectively collected and analyzed.Results Five candidates were included 4 male and 1 female.The median age was 53 years old.3 cases initially suffered from abdominal pain and radiative back pain,2 cases were confirmed by normal physical check.The CT scan and B type ultrasound were performed among all patients,1 case was diagnosed as pancreas head neoplasm,1 case pancreas insulinoma,which was closely associated with other tissues and the intervational therapy was performed twice preoperatively.All 5 cases were selected surgery as the main treatment,2 cases performed radical tumor resection,3 cases received bypass operation.2 cases were 3 years survival.Conclusion Retroperitoneal NEC is a rare carcinoma,characterized by seriously invasion and high malignant degree.Surgery still remains the mainstay of selections,early diagnosis can significantly improve NEC patients’ overall survival rate.But the early diagnosis rate of this rare kind of patients still need to be improved.

Objective To investigate the perinatal outcomes of twin-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS)and the management.Methods During Nov 1, 2002 to Sep 30, 2005, 24 cases of TTTS in Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital were analyzed.The outcomes of them were compared with the pregnancy without TTTS in all twins and in monozygotic twins.The outcomes of the blood-supplying fetus and the blood-recepter were compared.Results 6.8%cases had TTTS in all twins.The group of TTTS had more maternal,fetal and neonatal complications than twins pregnancy without TTTS :polyhydramnios [37.5%(9/24)vs 2.1%(7/328),P＜0.01],gestational hypertension[20.8%(5/24)vs 7.0%(23/328),P=0.043],premature labor[66.7%(16/24)vs 36.3%(119/328),P=0.003],perinatal dead fetus in uterus[18.8%(6/32)vs 1.1%(7/540),P＜0.01],neonatal asphyxia[73.1%(19/26)vs 3.0%(19/632),P＜0.01],the proportion of NICU[88.5%(23/26)vs 23.4%(148/632),P＜0.01],neonatal death [15.4%(4/26)vs 1.7%(11/632),P=0.002 ]and the rate of perinatal mortality [31.2%(0/32)vs 2.8%(18/632)].Compared with the monozygotic twins without TTTS,in TTTS group there were more complications of the mother,the fetus and the neonates:gestational hypertension[20.8%(5/24)vs 9.9%(14/142),P=0.224],premature labor[66.7%(16/24)vs 49.3%(70/142),P=0.115 ],perinatal dead fetus in uterus [ 18.8%(6/32)vs 0.7%(2/282),P＜0.01 ],neonatal asphyxia [73.1%(19/26)vs3.9%(11/280),P＜0.01 ],the proportion of NICU[88.5%(23/26)vs 29.3%(82/280),P＜0.01],neonatal death[15.4%(4/26) vs 2.1%(6/280),P:0.006]and the rate of perinatal mortality[31.3%(10/32) vs 3.2%(8/282)].The perinatal outcomes were better in those cases that the grades of TTTS were below 3 in the first diagnosis.Conclusions We should try to diagnose and treat TTTS as early as possible because the outcome is poor.

0.05). The fungus-carrier rate of newborn skin was 16.67% (8/48) in VVC group and 37.71% (23/61) in fungus-carrier group (P0.05; in the 48 cases who had received treatment during pregnancy, there was no neonatal diseases; in the 61 cases who did not receive any treatment, the morbidity of neonatal umbilical inflammation, diaper dermatitis and thrush were 4.92% , 19.67% and 3.28%, respectively. Conclusions Vertical transmission of VVC is possible during pregnancy. Those pregnant women with VVC have a higher neonatal morbidity.

Objective To investigate the effect of perinatal care on the reduction of the maternal and perinatal mortality. Methods The perinatal care and the relationship between the maternal and perinatal mortality during 1980 to 1997 were analysed. The factors that related to the morality were studied. Results The maternal mortality rate was significantly decreased from 31.7/10~5 live births in 1960 to 16.1/10~5 live births in 1992～1997. The main cause of maternal deaths in 1960' was obstetrical factors, but in 1997 it was pregnancy complications. The perinatal mortality rate was 21.2‰ in 1980～1981 ,and was 10.9‰ in 1992～1997. The factors related to the maternal and perinatal mortality including the perinatal care, high risk pregnancy,and birth weight were analysed, the specific mortality rate of each factor was calculated. Conclutions The two mortalities can be used to evaluate the result of perinatal care,and are important feedback information for making health care policy. Pernatal care play an important role in the reduction of maternal and perinatal mortality.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture analgesia on delivery and observe the result of analgesia in mother and infant.Methods Totally 324 primiparae were randomized into four groups:Electro-acupuncture group,82 cases,transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(TENS)group,82 cases,control group,81 cases,and spinal-epidural analgesia group,79 cases.The VAS scores of pain,degree of satisfaction of analgesia,outcome of delivery and changes of endorphin concentration were observed during the delivery and after.Results Compared with the TENS group and control group,viewing from the VAS scores of 30~120 minutes after analgesia,the effect in the electro-acupuncture group was better,but not as good as that in the spinal-epidural analgesia group,the difference was significant(P

BACKGROUND:There are few clinical control ed trials about the clinical effects in patients with pertrochanteric femur fractures after treatment with short or long proximal femoral nail antirotation.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the clinical outcomes in patients with AO/ASIF-A1/2 pertrochanteric femur fractures after treatment with short or long proximal femoral nail antirotation.
METHODS:A total of 98 patients with AO/ASIF-A1/2 pertrochanteric femur fractures were treated by proximal femoral nail antirotation. They were divided into two groups according to the type of proximal femoral nail antirotation:short nail group (n=50) and long nail group (n=48). The operative time, blood loss, and hospital stay were recorded in both groups. In fol ow-up, fracture healing time, imaging and clinical complications were evaluated. In the final fol ow-up, Harris hip score was used to evaluate functional recovery.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the short nail group, operative time was shorter and blood loss was less in the long nail group (P<0.05). No significant difference in hospital stay was detected between the short nail and long nail groups (P>0.05). Average fol ow-up periods were respectively (15.8±6.4) months and (16.2±5.7) months in the long nail and short nail groups.“Cutting-out”or infection occurred in five patients in the long nail group and three in the short nail group. Besides above-mentioned patients, the remaining patients in the two groups achieved fracture healing. No significant difference in average fracture healing time was detected between groups (P=0.588). In the final fol ow-up, no significant difference in Harris hip score was detectable in the two groups (P=0.204). The incidence rates of total postoperative complications in the long and short nail groups were 31.2%and 16.0%, respectively (P=0.075). Results suggested that no differences in the union and complication rates between the two groups were identified, suggesting that long nails offer no advantage compared with short nails for stabilizing AO/ASIF-A1/A2 pertrochanteric femur fractures.

Objective To analyze the perinatal outcomes of those women experienced hypoglycemia during 75 g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT).Methods A retrospective study was conducted in 774.pregnant women who underwent OGTT and delivered in our institution from January 2005 to January 2006.The distribution of glucose levels of the fasting,1 h,2 h and 3 h of the OGTT was analyzed.Plasma glucose level below the 5th percentile and above the 1h percentile was defined as hypoglycemia and those below the 1th percentile as exceeding hypoglycemia.Perinatal outcomes including birth weight,birth height,obstetric complications,the incidence of small for gestational age (SGA)were compared between women with hypoglycemia or exceeding hypoglycemia. Results The birth weight in exceeding hypoglycemia group of fasting glucose was significantly lower than that of the others [(2817±764)g vs(3439±487)g,t=3.344,P＜0.01]and the incidence of SGA in this group was also higher(3/7 vs 3.4%,x2=22.78,P＜0.01);the proportion of babies with birth weight＜3000 g in the same group was higher than the others(5/7 vs 14.73%,P＜0.01).The newhorns height was significantly shorter in the hypoglycemia group at 2 h than the normal glycemic group [(49.03±1.68)cm vs(49.48±1.65)cm,P＜0.05].Conclusions The plasma glucose 1evel is associated with the newborns'birth weight and height.Women with hypoglycemia during OGTT are more likely to have babies with lower birth weight and height.

Objective To observe the effects of phlorohlucinol on cervical dilatation. Methods Totaling 250 normal parturients were randomized into four study groups (50 in each group) and control group (n=50). Phloroglucinol was given in the study groups(group1,2,3 and 4)at the dose of 40 mg to the cervix and/or 160 mg and 200 mg intravenously during the latent phase. The control group (group1) received only atropine (0.5 mg) intravenously. Results The overall speed of cervical dilatation in the study group was (2.82?1.82) cm/h and (1.78?1.01) cm/h in the control group. The mean time of the first stage of labor was (14.23?1.11) h and (17.71?2.23) h in the study and control group, respectively (P

Objective To evaluate the different effect of 50 g glucose challenge test (GCT) on screening the glucose intolerance at different gestational age. Methods Two thousand pregnant women were divided into 2 groups(1000 in each). Women in group A received 50 g GCT at 14 and 28 gestational weeks respectively and 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in those cases with abnormal 50 g GCT. 50 g GCT was performed after fasting at 14 gestational weeks and repeated one hour after a meal at 28 gestational weeks. Women in group B were screened by 50 g GCT at 28 gestational weeks and followed by 75 g OGTT for those with abnormal 50 g GCT. The diagnostic effect of 50 g GCT for screening at different weeks of gestation with different ways was evaluated. Results (1)The rate of abnormal result of 50 g GCT was higher in fasting cases than that of cases testing after meal (15.6% vs 12.2%, P

Objective To investigate the psychological characteristics and personality of perinatal women, and to provide evidence for effective psychological intervention. Methods Five hundred and seventy pregnant women were randomly selected from the out-patient department from October, 2002 to March, 2003. Eysenck Personality Questionnaire(EPQ) , Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Self-rating Depression Scale(SDS) were applied for their personality, psychological characteristics and the influencing factors. Psychological surveys were performed in 216 cases in labor, and 300 cases were followed up during 1-5 days and 42-60 days postpartum. Results During pregnant period, the incidence of anxiety and depression was 10. 5% and 10. 2%, respectively, while 4. 0% and 5. 3% during early stage of puerperium. The rate of depression was 40. 7% and 10. 0% during late stage of puerperium and after puerperium. Pregnant women with personality of stability were less likely to have psychological disorder. Conclusions The rate of psychological disorder varies in different per sonallity. Proper intervention among high risk pregnant women is important in perinatal psychological
