Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of laparoscopic splenectomy (LS) for immune thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP).Methods The clinical data of 84 patients with ITP who underwent LS at the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from January 2007 to January 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.The potential prognosing indexes (gender,age,course of diseas,preoperative response to steroid,preoperative PLT,operation time,volume of intraoperative blood loss and postoperative PLT peak within 7 days) were collected and analyzed.The evaluation of surgical efficacy was done according to the American Society of Hematology 2011 evidence-based practice guideline for ITP.The complete response and partial response were defined as effective and no response as void.All of the patients were followed up by outpatient examination and telephone interview till December 2014,the follow-up information included platelet count,bleeding performance,presence of long-term complications and postoperative recurrence,etc.Measurement data with normal distribution were presented as x ± s,and skew distribution data were described as M (range).The postoperative long-term effective rate was analyzed by Kaplan-Meier method.The univariate analysis and multivariate analysis were done using the chi-square test and Logistic regression model,respectively.Results The operation time of 84 patients was (154 ±40)minutes with a median volume of intraoperative blood loss as 200 mL (10-1 000 mL).Lienculus was detected in 11 patients and resected.Seven patients had complications and recovered after symptomatic and supportive treatment.There was no perioperative death.Among the 84 patients who were followed up for an average follow-up time of 51 months (12-96 months),45 patients had complete response,18 patients had partial response and 21 had no response,without serious spontaneous visceral and intracranial hemorrhage.Eighteen partial-response patients underwent symptomatic medical therapy and 21 no-response patients took orally prednisolone,among which 13 had PLT ＞ 30 × 109/L stably.During the follow-up,only one complete-response patient died of lung cancer with systemic metastasis at 2 years after surgery.Four patients had pneumonia,1 noresponse female patient had pyothorax repeatedly for a long time,and they all recovered after symptomatic and supportive treatments.There were no serious complications and overwhelming postsplenectomy infection in other patients.The 1-,3-,5-,7-year effective rates were 82.1％,77.6％,72.5％ and 67.9％,respectively.Univariate analysis showed that preoperative response to steroid,preoperative PLT and postoperative PLT peak within 7 days were related factors affecting long-term effecacy of patients with ITP (x2=5.600,6.006,21.733,P ＜ 0.05),but gender,age,course of disease,operation time and volume of intraoperative blood loss were not related factors affecting long-term effecacy of patients with ITP (x2=0.018,2.684,0.000,0.064,0.397,P ＞ 0.05).Multivariate analysis showed that preoperative response to steroid and postoperative PLT peak within 7 days ≥300 × 109/L were independent protective factors affecting long-term efficacy (OR =5.426,19.454,95％ confidence interval:1.220-24.129,4.704-80.449,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions LS is safe and feasible for the treatment of ITP with a high long-term effective rate.Preoperative response to steroid and postoperative PLT peak within 7 days may be the predictors of LS for ITP.

Building a systematic public welfare evaluation index system for public hospitals is key to scientific evaluation of the public welfare positioning of public hospitals and enhancing their public benefit orientation,along with references for government decision making on macro health policies.The indexes were screened and pinpointed in two rounds of Delphi expert consultations,and index weights were determined with the variation coefficient method,initially building a public welfare performance evaluation index system for such hospitals,including eight class-1 indexes and 20 class-2 indexes.Outcomes of the system prove that the public welfare performance indexes of the two hospitals evaluated rise year by year from 2008 to 2010.

Current curriculum provision and teaching patterns of computer science in medical school has been far behind the requirements of clinical and research works, which restricted the develop-ment of medical talents to a large extent. According to the experiences of teaching practice,Department of Computer Science in Chongqing Medical University launched reform on medical computer science from aspects of teaching practice,curriculum provision,teaching methods and evaluation methods. Computer courses were opened according to students' computer knowledge and the profession. Task-based teaching and comprehensive evaluation methods were employed in order to improve the teaching quality.

Objective To examine the distribution of Malassezia species in follicular contents and perifollicular superficial skin in patients with Malassezia folliculitis and search for its causative agent. Methods A total of 120 patients with Malassezia folliculitis were investigated. Follicular lesions at three different anatomic sites were selected in each patient. Perifolliclar superficial skin specimens were taken by sterile adhesive tape, and the follicular contents of the same follicle were taken by sterile haemostatic forceps. The above specimens were cultured respectively on media containing rapeseed oil. The isolated colonies were identified by their physiological and morphological characteristics. Results Out of 319 isolates obtained from the perifollicular superficial skin, 247 isolates (77.43%) were identified as M. sympodialis, 40 isolates (12.54%) as M. furfur, 27 isolates(8.46%) as M. globosa and 5 isolates(1.57%) as M. obtusa. Out of 314 isolates obtained from follicular contents, 252 isdates(80.25%) were identified as M. globosa, 57 isolates(18.15%) as M. sympodialis, 4 isolates(1.27%) as M. furfur, and 1 isolate(0.32%) as M. obtusa. There was statistical difference in species distribution between the follicular contents and the perifolliclar superficial skin (P

Objective To investigate changes of CD~+_4CD~+_ 25 regulatory T cells (CD~+_4CD~+_ 25 Treg) and forkhead/winged helix transcription factor(Foxp3) mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with asthma, so as to elucidate the possible roles of CD~+_4CD~+_ 25 Treg in the development of asthma. Methods The peripheral blood samples were collected from 29 healthy controls (normal control group) and 78 patients with asthma which included 30 patients in exacerbation group, 25 patients in persistent group, and 23 patients in remission group. By using flow cytometry and RT-PCR, the CD~+_4CD~+_ 25 Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA in PBMCs were detected. Results The CD~+_4CD~+_ 25 Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA in PBMCs of exacerbation and persistent group were lower than that of remission group and normal control group (P0.05). Compared with persistent group, exacerbation group had lower CD~+_4CD~+_ 25 Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA (P

The changes of CD4(+)CD25(+) regulatory T cells (CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg) and Foxp3 mRNA in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from patients with asthma were investigated in order to elucidate the possible roles of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg in the development of asthma. The peripheral blood samples were collected from 29 healthy controls (normal control group) and 78 patients with asthma which included 30 patients in exacerbation group, 25 patients in persistent group, and 23 patients in remission group. By using flow cytometry and RT-PCR, the CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA in PBMCs were detected. The CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA in PBMCs of exacerbation and persistent groups were lower than that of remission and normal control group (P<0.05). Although the CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA of remission group also lower than that of normal control group, there was no significant difference between them (P>0.05). As compared with persistent group, exacerbation group had lower CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg ratio and Foxp3 mRNA (P<0.05). It was indicated that the decrease of CD4(+)CD25(+) Treg ratio and its function in PBMCs may be responsible for pathogenesis of asthma.

BACKGROUND:At present, there is no relevant systematic research about the effects of ankle-foot orthoses on lower limb muscles. OBJECTIVE:To extract the main features of the surface electromyography signals of the lower limbs from normal people with ankle-foot orthoses and to analyze the effects of the fixed ankle-foot orthoses on lower limb muscle fatigue. METHODS:Each of five male healthy young adults was respectively required to walk with and without special ankle-foot orthoses for three times. (1) Group 1, walking in a nature gait without orthoses. (2) Group 2, walking in a natural gait with ankle-foot orthoses (the ankle center was packaged over 1.0 cm by the orthoses that was recorded 1.0 cm); wearing the same orthoses but 1.0 cm in the ankle was removed and the ankle plastic edge was just through the ankle center to colect the data (recorded as 0 cm); after 1.0 cm was removed again in the ankle, walking in a natural gait (recorded as-1.0 cm). (3) Group 3, wearing 1.5 cm heel-height ankle-foot orthoses and walking in a natural gait; wearing the same orthoses but with 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm heel-height and walking in a natural gait. During walking, surface electromyography signals were colected from the biceps femoris muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, and gastrocnemius of the lower limbs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Without orthoses, the surface electromyography signals were the weakest. (2) For any muscle, the electrical activity of subjects without orthoses was weaker than that of subjects wearing orthoses at different hardness. (3) For the biceps femoris muscle, the integral electrical value without orthoses was very close to that wearing orthoses with normal heel height. Meanwhile, these two values were lower than that wearing orthoses with abnormal heel height. These findings indicate that the fixed plastic ankle-foot orthoses could cause the fatigue of the biceps femoris muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, and gastrocnemius; and the orthoses with abnormal heel height can further increase the fatigue of the biceps femoris muscle.

Academic powers and administrative power are two primary kinds of power coexisting in the hospital. The two kinds of power,which are essentially different,both overlap and conflict,leading inevitably to the complexity and variety of the power structure in the hospital. By analyzing the current situation of the power structure in the operation and management of hospitals in China,the paper aims to help bring about checks and balances of academic and administrative powers in domestic hospitals and offer some insight into possible models of power operation in Chinese hospitals that fit in with the times and regional features.
