To investigate into the effect of ultrasonic - spraying of Chinese Materia medica on respiratory failure, the remedy produced by our hospital was studies for the treatment of 27 cases of such disorder (type II). with another 30 cases treated by coramine as control. Results revealed, for the treatment group, total markedly effective rate was 70. 3%, SaO2 increased to 38. 4%. The rate of amelioration of coughing, dyspnea, sputum and average treating time for the treatment group were all significantly different from the control group (P

Objective To investigate the vision-related quality of life (VRQoL) of patients with monocular rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) before and after relative surgery, and analyze its influencing factors. Methods A total of 92 patients with monocular RRD were asked to complete the Chinese-version low vision quality of life questionnaire (CLVQOL) preoperatively and at the end of the follow-up time. Results The Cronbach ? coefficient of the questionnaire was more than 0.7. The lowest scores were at the item of "adjustive ability" before the surgery, and the scores of the questionnaires were significantly higher at the end of the follow-up time. The item whose score changed most caused by the surgery was "adjustive ability". The visual acuity in RRD eyes before the operation and the changes of the visual acuity was the chief independent risk factor of the questionnaire score before surgery and the changes of scores due to surgery, respectively. Conclusions CLVQOL can be used to assess the VRQoL of patients with monocular RRD after surgery. The qualities of life of patients with monocular RRD decrease sharply. VRQoL, especially the adjustive ability, improves obviously after operation, but the patient would be inconvenient for doing some precision work or daily house work. Improving the visual acuity of the RRD eye, giving early surgery and avoiding complications help to improve the VRQoL of the patients with monocular RRD.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the intraoperative neuromonitoring of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) during Micooli's endoscopic thyroidectomy in order to avoid nerve injury.MethodsIn this study,36 patients with 56 nerves at risk were enrolled from February 2011 to September 2011.A positive signal is determined by observing contractions of the cricothyroid muscle to locate the EBSLN.The relationship between EBSLN and the upper pole of the thyroid or the inferior constrictor muscle was studied.The VHI-10 table was used for evaluation pre- and postoperatively. ResultsAll 56 nerves were located successfully,26 nerves(46.4％ ) crossed the superior thyroid artery more than 1 cm apart from the upper pole of the thyroid gland,while the other 30 nerves(53.6％ ) did less than 1 cm.In cases where the diameter was longer than 5 cm,the nerves crossed the artery at less than 1.0 cm from the upper pole in 73％ cases(P =0.006).There was no significant difference between VHI-10 results before and after surgery (P ＞ 0.05). ConclusionsIntraoperative neuromonitoring is useful and helpful in avoiding nerve injury by locating EBSLN.
