Objective:To discuss the relevant factors between occurrence rate of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) and sedative therapy of patients adopted mechanical ventilation in intensive care unit (ICU) so as to improve strategy of sedation and reduce occurrence rate of VAP.Methods: The clinical data of 218 patients of ICU who were implemented mechanical ventilation combined with sedative were retrospectively analyzed. All of patients were divided into observation group (61cases) and control group(157cases) according to whether happened VAP. And the differences of sedative time, score of sedation, time of mechanical ventilation and stayed time in ICU between the two groups were analyzed and compared.Results: In observation group, the total sedative time was (7.51±7.86)d, score of sedation was (-2.69±1.09), time of mechanical ventilation was (8.52±17.11)d and stayed time in ICU was (24.44±21.93)d. In control group, all of these indicators were (3.83±2.91)d, (-1.22±1.52), (6.47±5.70)d, and (11.63±7.49)d, respectively. And the differences of them between the two groups were statistically significant (t=6.8850,t=5.0334,t=7.8012,t=6.4368,P<0.05).Conclusion: The sedative time, sedative depth of patient adopted mechanical ventilation are positively relevant with the occurrence rate of VAP, and the occurrence rate can be reduced through improving the strategy of sedation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of locking plate in the treatment of proximal humerus fractures and to compare the results of two approaches used for fixation.Methods Surgical treatment of 47 cases of proximal humerus fractures in the elderly in Affiliated Hospital of Yan′an University from September 2014 to September 2015.All fractures were randomly divided into two groups and treated with Phlios plate.Deltoid splitting and deltopectoral approaches were used for fixation respectively 23 cases and 24 cases.Postoperative shoulder function was evaluated according to Neer Score.Results The operation time,length of incision,intraoperative bleeding,fracture healing time,length of hospitalization in thoracic deltoid muscle group were more than deltoid splitting pathway group((90.1±6.3) min vs.(73.0±9.5) min,(10.0±3.5) cm vs.(6.3±2.6) cm,(100.0±30.1) ml vs.(90.6±36.4) ml,(3.2±0.8) months vs.(3.0±0.7) months,(10.3±1.9) d vs.(10.1±1.9) d),the difference of operation time(t=2.133,P=0.042) and length of incision(t=2.236,P=0.036) was statistically significant between the two groups,while the difference of the intraoperative bleeding(t=1.867,P=0.063),fracture healing time(t=1.064,P=0.242) and length of hospitalization(t=0.667,P=0.256) were not statistically significant.Followed up for 6.0-12.0 months,the average was (9.0±2.0) months,all patients achieved the bony healing.During the followed up,5 complication(10.6%) were encountered,including 2 cases of varus malunion,1 case of acromial impingement(115°-124°),1 case of screw cut-out and 1 case of humerus head osteonecrosis.The patients with tow-or three parts fractrues in tow groups,Neer-Score scores were statistically significant ((76.8±2.8) points vs.(76.1±2.6) points,(78.9±2.3) points vs.(77.8±2.4) points,t=2.76,2.58,P<0.05).There was no statistically significant difference between the four parts ((71.9±2.3) points vs.(72.6±2.1) points,t=1.06,P>0.05).The excellent-good rate in triangle muscle splitting approach group was 91.3%(21/23),of thoracic deltoid muscle group was 58.3%(14/24),there were significant different existed in two groups(P=0.023).Conclusion Locking plate for the treatment of proximal humerus fractures has a good effect.Deltoid splitting approach in the prognosis of function recovery has more advantages.

Objective:To observe the clinical efficacy of back-Shu and front-Mu points combination needling on balance and walking function in patients after stroke and its mechanism. Methods:A total of 79 patients with post-stroke balance and walking dysfunction were randomly divided into a control group and an observation group.Both groups received conventional treatments such as dietary guidance and oral medications as well as rehabilitation training.On this basis,the control group was treated with additional conventional acupuncture,and the observation group was treated with additional back-Shu and front-Mu points combination needling.Both groups were treated for 4 consecutive weeks.The thickness of abdominal muscle group(transverse abdominal muscle,rectus abdominis,obliquus internus abdominis,and obliquus externus abdominis),the scores of Berg balance scale(BBS),Fugl-Meyer assessment(FMA),and functional ambulation categories(FAC),and walking velocity and stride were compared between the two groups. Results:During the trial,there was 1 dropout case in the control group and 4 dropout cases in the observation group.Before treatment,there were no statistical differences in the abdominal muscle group thickness,scores of BBS,FMA,and FAC,and walking velocity and stride between the two groups(P>0.05).After 4 weeks of treatment,the thickness of abdominal muscle groups,scores of BBS,FMA,and FAC,and walking velocity and stride in both groups were improved(P<0.01),and the observation group was superior to the control group(P<0.05). Conclusion:Both conventional acupuncture and back-Shu and front-Mu points combination needling are conducive to the improvement of balance and walking function in patients after stroke.The back-Shu and front-Mu points combination needling method has better curative efficacy.Strengthening the core muscle group strength may be one of the mechanisms of back-Shu and front-Mu points combination needling treatment.

Objective To explore the value of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) in predicting and mornitoring ovarian hyper-stimulation syndrome(OHSS). Methods 11 cases of OHSS patients and 16 cases of high-responder patients were enrolled in this study, respectively from IVF-ET or ICSI programme. Serum VEGF level before giving gonadotrophin, on the days of hCG administration, OPU and ET, and at the 7th and 14th days after ET as well as the VEGF level of follicular fluid (FF) on the day of OPU were measured. The serum VEGF of hospitalized women with severe OHSS were also measured during the whole therapy. Results Compared with high-responder patients, serum VEGF level on mid luteal and late luteal phases significantly increased in OHSS patients, and FF VEGF level obviously increased as well. Serum VEGF level gradually decreased along with clinical and biological improvement of OHSS. Conclusion FF VEGF level could predict the occurrence of OHSS, and serum VEGF level could monitor the progress of OHSS.
