Objective To study the effect of Shaoyao Gancao Grain on serum prolactin level in female schizophrenia patients with high prolactin induced by risperidone.Methods 100 patients were randomly divided into the control group 50 cases,which were given risperidone. The study group 50 cases,which were given Shaoyao Gancao Grain on the basis of the control group. The two groups were treated for 12 weeks. Positive And Negative Syndrome Scale,serum prolactin and Estrogen level were measured by immunohistochemistry before and after 12 weeks of treatenmt.Results After 12 weeks of treatenmt,serum prolactin levels were decreased in the study group than control group (46.28 ± 14.06 ng/mlvs. 117.89 ± 22.11 ng/ml;t=10.242,P<0.01). PANSS score were decreased in the study group copare with before treatenmt (67.45 ± 7.00vs. 96.53 ± 11.88;t=7.125,P<0.01). PANSS score were decreased in the control group copare with before treatenmt (68.73 ± 7.71vs. 9 7.93 ± 12.65;t=6.541,P<0.01). But there were no difference in PANSS score between the two groups after treatenmt (t=0.682,P>0.05). ConclusionsShaoyao-Gancao grain can decrease serum prolactin level in female schizophrenia patients with high prolactin induced by risperidone,does not affect estrogen levels.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the causes and features of medical disputes in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the cardiology and to provide references for forensic expert testimony and medical disputes prevention.
METHODS:
Fifty one disputed fatal cases in PCI were analyzed in terms of the cause of death, informed consent and medical operations retrospectively.
RESULTS:
Thirty five cases were due to medical negligence, 28 due to defect technical operation, 2 due to mistake medical management and 5 due to both defect technical operation and mistake medical management.
CONCLUSION
The causes of PCI medical negligence are defect medical operation, violate medical disciplines and insufficiency of informed consent.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic peripheral artery disease (PAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) managed in primary health care in China.Methods:A total of 2 528 T2DM patients were selected using a two-stage cluster random sampling method based on the baseline survey of the "China Diabetic Foot Prevention Model Project." The study was conducted in 2015 among T2DM patients in 8 primary healthcare centers in Changshu county and Jiang'an district of Wuhan, China. Data collection methods included a questionnaire, body measurement, and blood glucose detection. The Ankle-Brachial Index (ABI) is the most widely used noninvasive vascular test. A binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influence factors.Results:The prevalence of PAD was 11.2% among the diabetic patients managed in primary health care in the two cities. The prevalence of PAD under 55 years old, 55- years old, 65- years old, and ≥75 years old were 7.8%, 6.0%, 12.9% and 22.5%, respectively. Multivariate stepwise logistic regression identified influence factors included older age, higher education level, smoking, drinking, postprandial glucose uncontrol, and prior myocardial infarction or angina. Compared to age <55 years, the odds ratio for PAD were 0.74 for 55- years (95% CI: 0.43-1.28), 1.72 for 65- years (95% CI: 1.05-2.81), 3.56 for 75 years and above (95% CI: 2.07-6.11), respectively. Compared to patients with education in primary school and below, the odds ratio was 1.37 (95% CI: 0.97-1.94), 2.48 (95% CI: 1.73-3.55), 1.99 (95% CI: 1.26-3.13) for those with education levels of junior high school, senior high school, and college, respectively. Current smoking ( OR=1.49, 95% CI: 1.02-2.17), current drinking ( OR=0.45, 95% CI: 0.28-0.71), postprandial glucose uncontrol (2 h postprandial plasma glucose >10.0 mmol/L: OR=1.72, 95% CI: 1.22-2.43), and prior myocardial infarction or angina ( OR=2.32, 95% CI: 1.50-3.61) were influencing factors of PAD. Conclusions:Despite the high prevalence of PAD in diabetes managed in primary health care; multiple risk factors are not effectively aware of and under control. It is urgent to promote ABI screening and standardized management for diabetes, especially in primary health care.

Objective:
To investigate the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetic patients under community management programs.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted on T2DM patients in eight communities in Wuhan and Changshu cities. Data would included questionnaire, body measurement, blood testing and clinical examination. The criterion of diabetic peripheral neuropathy was under the combination of symptoms with five physical examinations. Binary logistic regression model was used to analyze the influential factors.
Results:
The overall prevalence of peripheral neuropathy was 71.2
