Objective To study the characteristics and differences of phonetic pronunciation between hearing-impaired and normal children in 4.5~5.5 years old groups. Methods Phonetic articulation of consonants and vowels were tested by three-grade assessors for 20 hearing- impaired children and 20 normal children in 4.5~5.5 years old group using Question Bank for Hearing-impaired Children's Rehabilitation Evaluation of Hearing and Speech. Results and Conclusion For hearing-impaired children, the consonants of /b. m. d. l. j/ were the most articulative, followed with /h. f. r. p. t. n. g. x/, and then /zh. z. k. c. sh. q. s. ch/; for normal children, the consonants of /b. p. f. g. m. d. h/ were the most articulative, followed with /k. j. x. t. r. l/, and then /q. zh. ch. sh. n. z. s. c/. For both groups, the single final was the most articulative, followed with the compound final, and then the nasal. The articulation of these 3 types of vowels were poorer in hearing-impaired children than in normal children (P<0.01)

Objective To assess the role of promyelocytic leukemia protein (PML)and P53 in the progression of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma(ESCC)and its precursor lesions. Methods Different expression patterns of PML and P53 of 241 cases of ESCC combined with adjacent precursors were analyzed by tissue array and immunohistochemistry and correlated with clinicopathological parameters. Results In ESCC and its precursor lesions, PML and P53 displayed positive or strong positive, while in normal esophageal epithelia, these proteins showednegative or stained positive only in parabasal cell layer. The expression level of PML was correlated with the depth of invasion of esophageal carcinomas (X2=29.461,P<0.001),lymph metastasis status(X2=15.226,P<0.001)and pTNMs(x2=26.956,P

Objective To study the microcirculation and structural changes, surviving area of expanded prefabricated flaps. Methods A total of 40 New Zealand rabbits were divided randomly into expanded prefabricated, expender lined, simple prefabricated and free flap groups, each consisting of 10 rabbits. For the expanded prefabricated, expender lined and simple prefabricated groups, after the femoral artery and vein were transplanted into subcutaneous tissues of abdomen, and expanders were implanted into the deeper dartos. The free flap group was a blank control group. For the expanded prefabricated group, the expansion was carried out on 7th day postoperatively. On postoperative day 52, when the expander was fully expanded, island flaps with the prefabricated vessels as the pedicles were formed. The flaps were measured by laser Doppler flowmetry, light microscopy and digital re-cording of survival arca. Results When compared with the other groups, the perfusion volume of mi-crocirculation enhanced, flaps survival improved (97.54±2.73) %, blood capillary were stronger, to-gether with microscopic changes were significant in the expanded prefabricated groups (P<0.05). Conclusion Expandedprefabricated flaps can increase the survival size of the flaps and the safety of flap transplantation.

Objective To investigate the effects of ketamine combined with moderate hypothermia on brain ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in a rat model of asphyxial cardiac arrest. Methods Fifty healthy Wistar rats of both sexes aged 4.0-4.5 months, weighing 410-510 g were randomly allocated into 5 groups (n = 10each): group Ⅰ sham operation (group S), group Ⅱ asphyxial cardiac arrest (group ACA), group Ⅲ ketamine (group K), group Ⅳ moderate hypothermia (group MH) and group Ⅴ K + MH. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal (IP) phenobarbital 20 mg/100 g, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated (RR 60 bpm,FiO2 50%), PaCO2 was maintained at 35-45 mm Hg. Cardiac arrest was induced by clamping tracheal tube until ECG activity disappeared and MAP ＜ 15 mm Hg. Resuscitated was started 5 min later. MAP ＞ 60 mm Hg and HR ＞ 250 bpm were considered to be signs of successful resuscitation. Dead animals and animals in which resuscitation time was longer than 5 min were excluded from the study. In group K ketamine 100 mg/kg was administered IP at 5 min before asphyxia. In group MH hypothermia was started as soon as asphyxia was started and body temperature was maintained at 30-35 ℃. After successful resuscitation, the animals were sacrificed. Their brains were removed for determination of brain water content and p-caspase-3 expression in hippocampus. Results Brain I/Rsignificantly increased brain water content and p-caspase-3 expression in group ACA. MH alone significantly attenuated 1/R-induced brain edema and decreased p-caspase-3 expression, while ketamine alone only significantly decreased p-caspase-3 expression but did not decrease I/R-induced brain edema. MH + K decreased p-caspase-3expression further but did not reduce brain edema further as compared with MH alone. Conclusion Ketamine combined with moderate hypothermia provides better protection against brain I/R injury.

Conclusions Surgical treatment could be the preferred approach for the patients of renal or adrenal tumor with cancer thrombus in the inferior vena cava without distant metastases and lymph node involvement.It could improve the quality of life and may prolong survival.

Objective To evaluate the effect of labor analgesia on maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods The medical records of mature puerperas with singleton pregnancy from October 2018 to April 2019 at the General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were retrospectively reviewed. Puerperas were divided into non-labor analgesia group ( NLA) and labor analgesia group ( LA) according to whether or not puerperas received labor analgesia. Maternal and neonatal outcomes were analyzed. Maternal outcomes in-cluded delivery mode, complications, intrapartum hemorrhage and blood loss at 24 h after birth, duration of the second stage of labor and prolongation, episiotomy and length of hospital stay after birth. Neonatal outcomes included Apgar score at 1, 5 and 10 min after birth, cases of Apgar score＜7 at 5 min after birth, and the proportion and reason of transfer to pediatrics unit. Results A total of 839 puerperas were includ-ed, with 551 cases in NLA group and 288 cases in LA group. Compared with NLA group, the second stage of labor was significantly prolonged ( P＜0. 01) , and no significant change was found in the other maternal or neonatal outcomes in LA group ( P＞0. 05) . Conclusion Labor analgesia can prolong the second stage of labor and exerts no effect on the neonatal outcomes.
