1.Radiotherapy of brain metastases
Journal of International Oncology 2013;(6):437-440
Brain metastases is a common cause of advanced tumors teeatment failure,and radiotherapy is one of the main treatment modalities.With the development of radiotherapy techniques,the survival and quality of life of patients with brain metastases have been significantly improved.Whole brain radiotherapy,stereotactic radiotherapy as well as the combination are the main treatment options,but the best fraction size,the most optional time and suitable patients need to be further investigated.Novel radiotherapy techniques such as simultaneous integrated boost have been a research hotspot.
2.Mild hypothermia for ischemic stroke: translation from experiments to clinical practice
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(6):469-472
As a neuroprotective measure,the application and research of mild hypothermia in clinical practice have been very extensive.Using mild hypothermia has achieved a positive efficacy in many diseases,such as brain damage after cardiac arrest and neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy,etc.Although mild hypothermia has a large number of animal experiments and clinical studies in the treatment of ischemic stroke,and animal experiments have confirmed that it has the exact neuroprotective effect,the neuroprotective effect of mild hypothermia in the treatment of ischemic stroke has not yet come to a unified conclusion in the clinical studies.Its clinical efficacy does not seem to be as optimistic as expected.Therefore,it is necessary to analyze the transforming problems of mild hypothermia for treatment of ischemic stroke from animal experiments to clinical practice,and to provide ideas for the clinical application of mild hypothermia for treatment of ischemic stroke.

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2005;0(11):-
OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and resistance the bacteria isolated from the patients of our hospital,to provide reliable laboratory evidences for the clinical precaution and therapy. METHODS The antibiotic susceptibility of 17 923 bacteria strains isolated from the inpatients between 1 Jan 2005 and 31 Dec 2007 of our hospital was detected. RESULTS The top nine bacteria were Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Staphyloccocus aureus,Escherichia coli,Enterococcus faecalis,Klebsiella pneumoniae,Acinetobacter baumannii,Staphylococcus epidermidis,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Enterococcus faecium.S.aureus was the top one in Gram-positive bacteria(G +bacteria).The occurrence of meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) statistically decreased.The occurrence of ESBLs + E.coli statistically increased. CONCLUSIONS These bacteria are still the common detected types in the patients of our hospital.It should be noted that K.pneumoniae and ESBLs + E.coli strains are increasing gradually and they are resistant to varieties of antibiotics.
4.How does the traction force affect the intervertebral disc:a three dimensional finite element analysis
Chinese Journal of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation 2003;0(10):-
Objective To identify the effective traction conditions by comparing the effects of traction forces on the intervertebral disc under various mechanical conditions. Methods A three dimensional finite element model was used to carry out mechanical analysis of the traction under conditions with different forces and angles, then to carry out the comparative analysis of the stress distribution and the change of the volume of the intervertebral disc. Results In general, the stress distribution on the intervertebral disc was not even under different traction forces, The maximum stresses appeared at the back rim of the intervertebral disc. With the increase of the traction force and angle, the enlargement of the intervertebral disc volume increased, and the enlargement rate was more significant. Conclusion The volume of the intervertebral disc can be most effectively enlarged at the condition of 30?forward bending of the neck when a force of 90N was applied. This is the most effective traction condition.

Objective To explore the effect of continuous subglottic irrigation and aspiration in patients with artificial airway. Methods One hundred and twenty-eight patients with mechanical ventilation were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 64 cases in each group.The observation group was treated by continuous subglottic irrigation and aspiration,and the control group received traditional nursing.The two groups were observed and compared in terms of incidence of aspiration and ventilator-associated pneumonia.Result The incidences of ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP)and aspiration in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Continuous subglottic irrigation and aspiration can effectively prevent aspiration and VAP among patients with artificial airway.

Objective To establish a mathematical model for describing and predicting the effectiveness of physical therapy on lumbar disc hernation(LDH).Methods Daily comprehensive physical therapy interventions including lumbar traction,mobilization and physical agents were administered to 31 LDH patients for 10 sessions.A visual analogue scale was used to measure the pain intensity before each session.The logistic curve model was used in the regression analysis.The first 2 to 9 pain measurements were involved in different predictive models,and the predictive results were compared among different models.Results In regression analysis,the global R2 was 0.719.In predicting analysis,the more measurements involved in the predictive model,the more effective the prediction.The predictive power was low when the model included less than 4 measurements.the prediction power was high when more than 5 measurements were used in the model.Conclusion The logistic model can describe and predict the effectiveness of multiple physical therapy on LDH patients.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation of serum copper levels and mental health in psychiatric shift nurses.Methods The participants were divided into day shift nurses(control group,n=60) and night shift nurses(n=60).The concentrations of trace mineral,serum biochemical levels,inflammatory and oxidative markers in blood samples of 120 shift nurses were measured.The depressive mood was measured with second edition of Chinese version of the Beck Depression Inventory,(BDI-Ⅱ).Results The night shift nurses showed moderate-to-severe depression levels,which were significantly higher than those of the day shift nurses,23.3% (14/60) and 11.7% (7/60) vs.6.7% (4/60)and 1.7% (1/60),x2=6.536,4.82,P < 0.05.Night-shift nurses also had higher levels of serum copper,hs-CRP,IL-6,T-SOD and Cu-Zn SOD than the control group,(19.57±4.14) μmol/L vs.(18.03±3.20) μmol/L,1.32(0.78-1.89) rng/L vs.0.89(0.45-1.44) mg/L,68.54 (51.43-96.78) ng/L vs.56.39 (35.56-78.71) ng/L,(66.78±14.72) kU/L vs.(47.32±17.84) kU/L,(54.22±14.91) kU/L vs.(48.17±17.23) kU/L,t=-3.133~-2.057,P <0.01 or 0.05.BDI-Ⅱ scores correlated positively with serum copper,hs-CRP,IL-6,T-SOD and Cu-Zn SOD,r=0.248-0.457,all P < 0.01.In night shift group,multivariate regression analysis showed that serum copper,hs-CRP,IL-6 and T-SOD (β=0.097-5.340,P< 0.01 or 0.05) were independently related factors influencing BDI-Ⅱ scores (R2 =0.609,P =0.000).Conclusions Serum copper may serve as an evaluation index for depressive mood in psychiatric shift nurses,and serum copper concentrations in night shift nurses should be monitored regularly.Clinical Trial Registry Chinese Clinical Trial Registry,ChiCTR-OOC-14005540.

The expression of CD107a,NKG2D on the surface of natural killer (NK) cells and serum soluble major histocompatibility complex class Ⅰ chain-related A (sMICA) level in patients with extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma,nasal type (ENKL) were detected.We found that CD107a expression was reduced on the surface of NK cells,suggesting impaired NK cell activity in ENKL patients,which may result from decreased NKG2D expression.
