Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and safety of ziprasidone mesylate injection on the acute agitation symptom in mental retardation. Methods The total of 80 patients of mental retardation with acute agitation symptoms were randomly divided into two groups:the treatment group (40 patients) were intra-muscarly given with ziprasidone mesylate injection at the initial dose of 10 mg, 20 mg 4 h later, and 30 mg once on the second day and third day. And the control group (40 patients) were treated with haloperidol injection. The volume dose of haloperidol was 20 mg everyday. Other antipsychotic drugs, antimanic drugs and benzodiazepines were not allowed to be used during the observation, neither does the prophylactic use of drugs against parkinson's disease. Before and 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24, 48, 72 h after treatment, the positive and negative scale ( PANSS) reduction rate, the end of the clinical global impression scale ( CGI) were assessed. By the end of the treatment, the adverse reactions symptom, cale ( TESS) was assessed for the safety. Results By the end of treatment PANSS reduction rate was 46. 31% in the test group and 48. 81% in the control group, the clinical improvement rate was 80. 00% in the treatment group and 82. 50% in the control group. No statistically significant difference on efficacy was found between two groups. The side reaction rate in the treatment group was 27. 5%, that in the control group was 40. 0%, there was significant difference ( P<0. 05) between two groups, but the extrapyramidal reaction in the control group was significantly more than that in the treatment group(P<0. 05). Conclusion Ziprasidone mesylate injection is effective on treating the symptoms of mental retardation, in corresponding to the effect of haloperidol injection,and with less extrapyramidal reactions.

Objective To observe the effects and traits of applying locking anatomic plates to the proximal femur for the old-aged aroundtrochanteric fractures. Methods From January 2006 to August 2010, 56 cases with old-aged aroundtrochanteric fractures were selected as samples. Clinical and radiographic data were retrospectively reviewed at the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 12th month after operations. In the meantime, analysis of comparison between them and ones with the DHS treatment was conducted. Results All of the operations were successful. Altogether 56 patients were followed up, average 9.4 months. All of their fractures were healed in a mean time of 5.3 months without delayed union, nonunion, hip equinovarus, failure of screws and plates or death. Comparison of the excellent and goodrate of two groups, the dif-ferences was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Applying locking anatomic plates to the proximal femur can provide sta-ble fixation with a good functional outcome, which is an effective method for the old-ageed aroundtrochanteric fractures and reducing death rate.

We investigated the common diseases in patients from village clinics and compared them to those of the general population in rural areas of Jiangsu Province.We found that the treatment rates of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes mellitus were quite low.Village clinics should play a more active role in health record management,healthcare education,and management of chronic diseases for the farmers.

Background: Immunochemotherapy has demonstrated a promising efficacy for a variety of B-cell lymphoma but has limited efficacy for Epstein–Barr virus-positive (EBV +) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is refractory or relapsed to conventional chemotherapy regimens. Considering higher programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expres‑ sion in the subset of patients with DLBCL with positive EBV, we speculated that PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy may be an alternative regimen in patients with refractory/relapsed EBV + DLBCL. Methods: This retrospective study included six adult patients diagnosed with refractory EBV + DLBCL resistant to first-line immunochemotherapy regimens (R-CHOP). These patients received PD-1 inhibitors plus chemotherapy as second-line treatment. Results: The final analysis included six patients (four men and two women (median age, 50 years; range, 39–83 years)). Four patients were diagnosed with Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) + DLBCL, and two had DLBCL associated with chronic inflammation. Over a median follow-up of 20 months (range, 2–31 months), the objective response rate was 83% (5/6) and the complete remission rate was 67% (4/6). No severe immune-related adverse reactions occurred, and only a mild rash was reported, which did not necessitate the discontinuation of therapy. Conclusion The combination of PD-1 inhibitors and chemotherapy offers promising results as a second-line treat‑ ment for patients with refractory EBV + DLBCL that is resistant to first-line immunochemotherapy regimens. These preliminary findings warrant further investigation in larger clinical trials to validate the efficacy and safety of this therapeutic approach.
