Advanced schistosomiasis,encompassing a wide range of pathologic entities and multi-complications,poses a se-rious threat on the patients'health. Through comprehensive analysis and evaluation on related aspects regarding clinical classifi-cation,main methods of auxiliary examination and treatment(including types of surgical procedure)of advanced schistosomia-sis,we think that the individual based multidisciplinary comprehensive treatment according to varying conditions of patients is the most optimal treatment mode of advanced schistosomiasis. It is further proposed that multidisciplinary collaborative diagnosis and treatment system should be undoubtedly established,multidisciplinary case discussions be regularly organized,and treat-ment expert teams be stably formed,in order to significantly improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of advanced schistoso-miasis,so as to reduce the misdiagnosis and improve the therapeutic effect in advanced schistosomiasis control.

Objective To investigate the association of the gene polymorphism of endothelial nitric-oxide synthase(eNOS) with pregnancy induced hypertension(PIH). Methods Sixty-six gravidas with PIH and 91 normal pregnant women(control) in the third trimester were investigated. The G894T mutation at exon 7 of the endothelial nitric-oxide synthase gene was studied by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP). Results The frequencies of eNOS GG, GT and TT genotypes were 62.1%, 34.8% and 3.1% in PIH group and (79.1%,) 20.9% and 0.0% in control group, respectively (P0.05). Conclusions The variant (G-T) of 894 polymorphism site of eNOS is associated with the genesis of PIH, but not related to the severity of PIH. T allele may be a susceptible gene to PIH.

Objective To investigate the imaging diagnostic value of the early avascular necrosis of the femoral head(ANFH) in adult.Methods There were 25 cases (34 hips) with early ANFH diagnosed by imaging and clinical data.Radiography,CT and MRI findings of ANFH were analysed comparatively.Results In the 34 ANFH included stage Ⅰ 13 hips,stage Ⅱ 21 hips.The diagnostic accurary was 32.4% for X-ray,61.8% for CT and 100% for MRI.Conclusion MRI is better than the other technique in early finding the lesions of ANFH,and the diagnostic sensitivity and accuracy of MRI are higher than that of CT and X-ray.

Objective To explore the application effect of sufentanil or dexmedetomidine on blind intubation in 88 patients with difficult airway .Methods Eighty eight cases of patients with difficult airways in our hospital were divided into treatment group and control group depending on different preoperative sedation .There were 44 cases in each group .Patients in the treatment group were treated with dexmedetomidine anesthesia treatment ,and patients in the control group were treated in clinical routine application of sufentanil anesthesia ,both groups were taken blind intubation after anesthesia treatment .The heart rate ,systolic arterial pressure , diastolic arterial pressure and respiratory rate of patients before anesthesia ,after anesthesia ,when the intubation tube reached uvu‐la ,epiglottis ,when the intubation finished and 5 minutes after the intubation were recorded .Cases of nausea ,dysphoria ,bucking and respiratory depression during the intubation were also recorded .Results From the induction of anesthesia to 5 min after intubation , the respiratory rate of the treatment group was higher than the control group (P<0 .05);the systolic blood pressure ,diastolic blood pressure and heart rate of treatment group were significantly lower than the control group since intubation tube arrive uvula until the completion of systolic (P<0 .05);The arterial oxygen pressure was (98 .52 ± 9 .18) mm Hg in the treatment group 5 min after intubation ,which was significantly higher than the control group which was (93 .46 ± 10 .81) mm Hg (P<0 .05);cases of nausea , dysphoria ,bucking and respiratory depression in the treatment group were significantly lower than that of control group(P<0 .05) , and the average intubation time of the treatment group were significantly shorter than that of control group (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Dexmedetomidine could effectively improve the condition of the patients with difficult airways ,achieve effective anesthesia ,reduce cardiovascular reactivity in patients ,and ensure the smooth progress of intubation for the difficult airway patients .

Objective To investigate the effect of nursing rescue process on traffic accident aid to orthopedic patients . Methods Sixty patients with bone injuries from traffic accidents during April to December 2013 were set as control group , in which the traditional aid process was used for rescue, and another 60 patients during January to June 2014 as experiment group, in which the nursing aid process was applied. The two groups were compared in terms of rescue time and effectiveness. Result The rescue time in the experiment group was significantly shorter and the first aid effectiveness was also better than those in control group (P<0.01). Conclusion By nursing aid process, the personnel can be optimized to avoid chaos during the rescue and meanwhile the time for rescue is shortened, which can contribute the increased success rate.

BACKGROUND: Alzheimer disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD),the two major types of dementia in old age, differ from each other in pathological mechanism, treatment and prognosis. Up to now, no effective therapeutic method for AD is available, but VD can be treated effectively so that patients' quality of life can be improved.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical features of brain electrical activity mapping (BEAM) and brain evoked potentials (BEP) between AD and VD patients.DESIGN: Retrospective analysis based on AD and VD patients.SETTING: Neurological Department, the First Clinical Medical College of Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: All inpatients and discharged patients were selected filiated to Harbin Medical University from December 1996 to December 2000. The history was provided by the patients themselves or their relatives who lived together with them. Nine cases of AD and fourteen cases of VD were diagnosed according to the diagnostic standard for AD and VD set by the National Institute of Neurological and Communicative Disorder and Stroke-the Alzheimer disease and Related Disorder Association, and Chinese Classification and Diagnostic Criteria of Mental Disease (4th edition). According to the clinical rating standard, the patients had mild or moderate degree of dementia.METHODS: AD and VD patients were analyzed with retrospective analynitive functions, including long-term and short-term memory, calculation,comprehension, abstract thinking, dyschronism and disorientation; c. emotional reaction, including depression, anxiety, fear, euphoria, compulsive laughing and crying; d personality alteration, including indifference,optimally were collected from the abnormal segment signals. After calculation, 4 frequency band powers of θ,δ, α and β of the total power of 1-30 N1, P2, N2 and P3 and the waves of P2 and P3 were measured. Comparison between the two groups and rate comparison were made with t-test and χ2 test, respectively.ease, cognitive functions and noncognitive functions between AD patients RESULTS: Data of 9 AD and 14 VD patients as well as 15 normal old cognitive functions and noncognitive functions between AD patients and VD patients: The onset of AD was slow, but that of VD was abrupt. Cognitive functions of AD patients were decreased, including memory decline,calculation decrement, abstract thinking disorder, dyschronism and disorientation. The cognitive functions of VD group were characterized by partial decrement and intermittent ladderlike aggravation. Memory decline and calculation ability decrease were the main characteristics, but other cognitive dysfunctions could not be observed as much as in AD. The patients of AD group often had depression as the most common emotional disorder.Personality alteration took initiative decrement as the most common one,whereas emotional disorder in the patients of VD group was presented by compulsive crying and laughing. One patient seldom had more than two and VD patients: BEAM of 7 AD patients was characterized by the power of θ frequency band of the whole head increased. The level of increase was consistent with the level of dementia (score of MMSE). At the same time,the power of α and β frequency bands declined, and the power of δ increased later, the left side (F3) was significantly higher than the right side AD and VD patients: The changes of BEP in the two group patients had poorly differentiated waves, with lower P300 wave and obviously delayed latent period. The abnormality degree of patients in AD group was more obvious than that in VD group.with memory decline and calculation ability decrease as the main characteristics in VD patients. The noncognitive functions of AD patients were more aftients were presented as the increased power of the whole head in the former ones and the increased power of θ frequency band in the latter ones. The changes were coincident with the severity of dementia in AD, but not in VD.effect of the former one was greater than that of the latter one.

Objective:To investigate the prognostic value of absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), macrophage-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) before treatment in patients with locally advanced cervical cancer (LACC).Methods:A total of 175 patients newly-diagnosed with LACC admitted to Cancer Hospital affiliated to Xinjiang Medical University from August 2016 to October 2019 were enrolled in this study. Complete clinical data and ALC before treatment were recorded and NLR, MLR and PLR were calculated. Multivariate Cox′s proportional hazard regression model was used to analyze the prognostic factors of patients with LACC.Results:The progress-free survival (PFS) of LACC patients in the NLR reduction group (<3.34) and MLR reduction group (<0.315) were significantly higher than those in the NLR and MLR elevation groups (both P<0.05). The overall survival (OS) of LACC patients in the ALC elevation group (≥1.375 × 10 9/L) and the PLR reduction group (<160.575) were significantly higher compared with those in the ALC reduction group and PLR elevation group (both P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that EQD 2Gy, the equivalent dose of HR-CTV, was an important prognostic factor of PFS in patients with LACC ( P=0.030). Multivariate Cox′s regression analysis demonstrated that FIGO staging ( HR=2.339, 95% CI 1.22-4.48, P=0.010) and concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( HR=0.213, 95% CI 0.11-0.43, P<0.001) were the independent predicators of PFS in patients with LACC. However, concurrent chemoradiotherapy ( HR=0.229, 95% CI 0.07-0.81, P=0.023) and MLR ( HR=4.933, 95% CI 1.39-17.54, P=0.014) before treatment were the independent predictors of OS in patients with LACC. Conclusions:Patients with locally advanced cervical cancer can benefit from concurrent chemoradiotherapy. HR-CTV EQD 2Gy is a critical prognostic factor of PFS in patients with LACC. The increase of MLR before treatment is an independent prognostic factor of OS in LACC patients.

Objective:To analyze the association of clinical characteristics and laboratory indicators at initial maintenance hemodialysis(MHD)with long-term prognosis in advance-aged patients, and to find influencing factors for the prognosis in advance-aged MHD patients.Methods:This retrospective study was conducted at the Nephrology Department of Beijing Hospital between April 2007 and January 2018.A total of 61 patients receiving first-time hemodialysis at ≥ 80 years of age and undergone regular dialysis for 3 months or longer were enrolled.All patients were followed-up until death or the end of July 1, 2018.Patients were divided into the survivor and non-survivor groups, and differences in clinical characteristics and laboratory indicator values were compared between the two groups.Influencing factors for prognosis in advance-aged MHD patients were analyzed by using multivariate Cox regression.Results:For the 61 subjects, the median follow-up time was 25.8 months.During the follow-up, 32 patients died(52.5%). The main death causes were infectious diseases(40.6%, n=13)and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases(37.5%, n=12). The 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, and 5-year cumulative survival rates were 75.4%(46/61), 54.1%(33/61), 37.7%(23/61), 22.9%(14/61)and 16.4%(10/61), respectively.The median survival time was 25.8 months for all patients, 27.5 months for patients aged 80-84 years, and 14.9 months for patients aged 85 years and over.The non-survivor group had a higher male ratio(65.6% or 21/32 vs.37.9% or 11/29, χ2=4.678, P=0.031)and lower levels of hemoglobin(85.4±13.0 vs.95.0±17.6 g/L, t=2.867, P=0.019)and albumin(30.3±5.0 vs.34.6±4.8 g/L, t=3.039, P=0.001)than the survivor group.Kaplan-Meier curves indicated that the survival rate decreased with age, and subjects aged less than 85 years had a higher survival rate than subjects aged 85 years and older(the median survival time: 14.9 months vs.27.5 months, Log Rank P=0.006); patients who received continuous renal replacement therapy(CRRT)before dialysis had lower survival rates than patients who did not receive CRRT(the median survival time: 7.8 months vs.29.2 months, Log Rank P=0.002); patients with high serum levels of albumin(≥33 g/L)had higher survival rates than patients with low serum levels of albumin(<33 g/L)(the median survival time: 29.2 months vs.18.9 months, Log Rank P=0.003). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age at initial dialysis( HR=1.136, 95% CI: 1.005-1.285, P=0.041), female( HR=0.409; 95% CI: 0.169-0.994, P=0.048), serum albumin level( HR=0.836, 95% CI: 0.772-0.906, P<0.001)and CRRT before dialysis( HR=6.161, 95% CI: 1.848-20.538, P=0.003)were independent predictors of all-cause mortality in advance-aged patients. Conclusions:Advance-aged patients undergoing hemodialysis have complicated clinical conditions and poor prognosis.Age, gender and serum albumin level at initial dialysis and CRRT before dialysis are independent predictors of prognosis in these patients.

AIM: To establish the method for determination of luteolin and isorhamnetin in Duyiwei Capsules (Lamiophl mis rotata(Benth.)Kudo). METHODS:Yilite-C_(18) column was used.The mobile phase was composed of methanol-water(50∶50),pH was adjusted to 3.0 with H_3PO_4.The flow rate was 0.8 mL?min~(-1) and detection wave-length was set at 360 nm. RESULTS:The linear range of Luteolin was 7.072-35.360 ?g?mL~(-1),(r=(0.999 7)) and the linear range of isorhamnetin was 1.658-8.290 ?g?mL~(-1)(r=0.999 2). The average recovery and RSD of luteolin were 96.3% and 2.7%,respectively. The average recovery and RSD of isorhamnetin were 97.3% and 2.1%,respectively. CONCLUSION:This method is sensitive,accurate and can be used for the quality study of Duyiwei Capsules.

OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effects of total flavone from Prunus cerasifera fruits(PCE)on alcoholic liver disease(ALD)in rats,and provide experimental basis for developing new medicines for anti-ALD. METHODS:40 rats were ran-domly divided into normal group(distilled water),model group(distilled water),silibinin group [positive control,30 mg/(kg·d)] and PCE high-dose,low-dose groups [80,40 mg/(kg·d)],8 in each group. All rats were intragastrically administrated(10 mL/kg) every morning,once,for 6 weeks;meanwhile,except for normal group,rats in other groups received 50% alcohol(10 mL/kg) once intragastrically every afternoon to induce ALD model. After administration,heart,liver,spleen and other organ indexes,sub-cutaneous fat,brown fat,abdominal fat indexes were determined,as well as serum biochemical indexes [glutamate transaminase (ALT),aspartate aminotransferase(AST),total bilirubin(TBIL),direct bilirubin(DBIL),indirect bilirubin(IBIL),gamma-glu-tamyl transpeptidase(GGT),and total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high-density lipoprotein(HDL),low-density lipopro-tein (LDL)] level and liver biochemical indexes [superoxide dismutase (SOD),malondialdehyde (MDA),glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px),TC,TG] and TC,TG levels in feces;pathological changes of liver and kidney tissues were observed. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,heart,liver,spleen indexes,subcutaneous fat,abdominal fat indexes in model group were in-creased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),brain index and brown fat index were decreased(P<0.05);HDL level and HDL/TC ratio in serum were decreased,other serum indexes were increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01);SOD,GSH-Px levels in liver tissue were decreased, other above-mentioned liver biochemical indexes were increased(P<0.01);TC,TG levels in feces were increased(P<0.01);liv-er and kidney showed obvious lesions. Compared with model group,the above-mentioned indexes in silibinin group and PCE high-dose group were significantly improved (P<0.05 or P<0.01);ALT,AST in serum and MDA level in liver tissue in PCE low-dose group were significantly decreased(P<0.01),and SOD,GSH-Px levels in liver tissue were significantly increased(P<0.05);lesion degree of liver and kidney and lipid accumulation in liver were reduced in administration groups. CONCLUSIONS:PCE may play a role in anti-ALD by anti-oxidation,promoting liver cell regeneration and regulating lipid metabolism.
