Objective To investigate the bilateral frontal cerebral contusion complicated by severe central herniation early treatment .Methods 54 cases of severe bilateral frontal cerebral contusion complicated by central herniation patients were randomly divided into the observation group and control group using number table .The obser-vation group were taken the early surgical treatment and the control group were not underwent surgery .The clinical symptoms and prognosis of treatment were compared .Results After treatment ,the GCS score of the observation group was (12.98 ±3.85),which was higher than (11.35 ±4.12) of the control group(t=2.354,P<0.05),and the total time of the observation group ICU hospitalization time was significantly lower than the control group (t=10.007,P<0.01;t=19.278,P<0.01);The good recovery rate of the observation group (40.74%) was higher than the control group(14.81%)(χ2 =4.523,P<0.05),the residual rate of the observation group ,severe disability rate,plant sur-vival and mortality (33.33%,14.81%,7.41%,3.70%) were lower than that of the control group (44.44%, 22.22%,11.11%,7.41%),but the difference was not significant between the two groups (χ2 =2.587,2.135, 2.268,2.189,all P>0.05).Conclusion Dual frontal severe brain injury complicated by central herniation patients with early diagnosis and surgical treatment method using craniotomy decompression can significantly improve the cure rate and effectively improve the prognosis of patients with treatment .

Objective To observe the effect of herbal medicines with the function of replenish qi and essence for the immune func- tion of patients after mammary cancer operation.Methods The 115 patients of mammary cancer after modified radical operation were randomized into treatment group and control group.The treatment group began to take the decoction of herbal medicines from 7 days before and from the 3rd day after operation.The control group had the same treatment but without taking herbal medicines.The im- mune indices of both groups were tested on the day 7 days before,one day and 14 days after operation respectively.Results In the treatment group,IgA,IgG,IgM were remarkably increased in comparison with the control group 14 days after operation;with the herbal treatment for 2 weeks,CD_4,CD_4/CD_8,IL-2 rised remarkably(P

Objective To evaluate the value of phased array probe of transesophageal echocardiography miniature (micro-TEE) in the neonatal and infant cardiac surgery intraoperation.Methods Micro-TEE probe was used in children with weight ≤5 kg undergoing cardiac surgery to detect the atrial and ventricular cavity size,the left and right ventricular outflow tract diameter were detected by transthoracic echocardiography(TTE) 3-7 d after operation,and compared with the measured value immediately after the TEE.Results Before and after intubation,airway index not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Preoperative TEE and TTE inspection results were consistent with intraoperative diagnosis.Postoperative TEE measuring intracardiac structural data (each room,chamber size and left and right ventricular outflow tract diameter) and postoperative TTE measurement value representing the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions Micro TEE intraoperative guardianship of low birth weight infants is safe and feasible,and can supplement and improve the preoperative diagnosis,and can accurately and timely evaluate postoperative curative effect.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of chemotherapy weekly in the chemoradiotherapy of cervical cancer.Methods Between Jan 2003 and Oct 2007,168 patients with stage Ⅲ B squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix in Chongqing Cancer Hospital were divided into two groups randomly.The observation group,total 86 patients receiving radiotherapy concomitant with weekly cisplatin and taxol;the matched group,total 82 patients,receiving radiotherapy concomitant with cisplatin plus taxol every 3 weeks.There were no statistical difference in the clinical and pathological characteristics between the two groups. We compare the 5 years survival rate and side reaction of the two groups.Results The 5 years survival rate of the observation group and the matched group were respectively 52.3%(45/86)and 42.7%(35/82),in which there was no significant difference (P >0.05).The response rate(CR+PR)were respectively 94.2%(81/86)and 92.7%(76/82)in the observation group and the matched group,in which there was no significant difference (P >0.05).Grade Ⅲ acute gastrointestinal toxicities (nausea and vomi-ting)in the matched group were exactly higher than that in the observation group [19.5%(16/82)vs.8.1% (7/86),P <0.05]. Moreover,Grade Ⅲ myelosuppression in the matched group were exactly higher than that in the observation group [20.7%(17/82) vs.9.3% (8/86),P <0.05].there were no significant difference of the incidence of the radiocystitis,radiation proctitis and radio-dermatitis between the two groups.But the Radiotherapy completion time in the matched group were exactly longer than that in the observation group [(61.12±6.71)days vs.(54.72±4.76)days,P <0.05].Conclusion The toxicity of the observation group was lower than the matched group.Moreover the efficacy of observation group is similar to the matched group.

ObjectiveTo explore the effect of personality and psychosocial factors on irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).MethodsPersonality and psychological status of 46 IBS patients and 32 healthy individuals were evaluated with Eysenck Personality Questionaire (EPQ), Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) and Life Events Scale (LES).ResultsIn EPQ, E (extroversion-introversion) scores of IBS group were lower than those of control group; N (neuroticism) scores of IBS group were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.01). In SCL-90, the scores of somatization, compulsion, anxiety, depression and etc. were higher than those of control group (P<0.05). The frequency of meeting negative life events, the quantity of stimulus of meeting negative life events and the total quantity of stimulus of meeting life events of IBS patients within one year until episode were significantly higher than those of control group (P<0.01).ConclusionPersonality psychological characteristics and life events before illness are associated with the morbidity of IBS.

Our country has been using maturity grading method, which was proposed by Grammum in 1979, to evaluate the placental function. However, this method is subjective to consequence because it totally depends on the observation and experiences of clinicians. With the development of ultrasound technology, therefore, we reviewed more novel applications in other aspects of placenta (such as blood flow, vascularization, etc). Over the past years, scholars in the world have done a lot of research around these topics. In this review we introduce placental maturity grading with B-mode ultrasound, placental vascularization qualitative and quantitative analysis with three-dimensional Doppler ultrasound and placental volume measurement, respectively.
