OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application of acid inhibitors in our hospital and to provide reference for rational use of drugs in the clinic. METHODS:The consumption sum and DDDs of acid inhibitors in our hospital from 2005 to 2009 were statistically analyzed with the method of DDD analysis. RESULTS:Consumption sum of acid inhibitors in our hospital increased year by year,especially for proton pump inhibitor. Consumption sum of H2 receptor antagonist decreased year by year. Omeprazole and pantoprazole took up the top place of DDDs order. Rank ratio of pantoprazole had been kept at 1 for five years with sound synchrony. DUI of these drug were no more than 1,which meant rational drug use. CONCLUSION:The acid inhibitors in our hospital are applied rationally and safe and highly effective proton pump inhibitor is the best choice in the clinic.

OBJECTIVE To control the nosocomial infection in the whole process of blood collecting on a blood collecting vehicle.METHODS To supervise the technological sanitation of blood collecting environment,increase primary assay of ALT,using laser beam apparatus instead of needle puncture,select the dynamic disinfection cleaning machine instead of classical tri-oxygen or ultraviolet lamp disinfection,and standardize blood collecting procedure and environmental disinfection.RESULTS After 110 thousand times a year of blood collecting on the blood collecting vehicle in Wuhan there were no one nosocomial infection happened.CONCLUSIONS The nosocomial infection in the whole process of blood collecting on a blood collecting vehicle can be prevented by the quality control of environmental condition and improvement of assay installation.

[Objective]To determine whether discectomy resulted in improvement in low back pain(LBP)associated with lumbar disc herniation. [Method]Two hundred and one consecutive single-level lumbar discectomy were followed up,one hundred patients underwent microendoscopic discectomy(MED group) and 101 patients were treated with conventional open discectomy(COP group).Outcomes were assessed using Visual Analog Scale(VAS) and patient satisfaction.The changes in LBP were compared between the MED group and COP group.The effects of severity of low back pain before surgery on the improvement of back and leg pain were also determined.The mean duration of follow-up was 45 months.[Result]The mean VAS leg pain significantly decreased from 70.02?15.80 before operation to 7.73?12.13 at final follow-up.A significant improvement was also noted in LBP,the mean VAS LBP score was 43.61?26.18 before surgery and 16.89?14.73 at the time of final follow-up.The important improvement in LBP and leg pain was seen in 70.1%～78.1% and 97.0% patients respectively.Improvements in back pain and leg pain were correlated(r= 0.1656,P=0.0304).The rate of important improvement of low back pain was greater in MED group than in COP group.The rate of important improvement in LBP was similar in the patients of a preponderance of LBP,a preponderance leg pain and an equivalence of LBP and leg pain,the patients with a preponderance of LBP showed a lower rate of important improvement in leg pain than the others.[Conclusion]Discectomy for relief of sciatica of lumbar disc herniation provides effective relief of LBP.The MED is more likely effective as a surgery way to relief LBP.Furthermore,it certified that the severe LBP maybe a negatively predictive factor for the follow-up outcome of leg pain.

Objective To assess global and regional cardiac twist function in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy(HCM) patients by velocity vector imaging(VVl).Methods Thirty HCM patients and 33 normal subjects were enrolled into this study.Two dimensional echocardiographic images of parasternal left ventricular basal level,middle and apical level short axis plane,apical four-and two-chamber plane were obtained.Maximal rotation degree,peak rotation rate,circumferential strain (CS) and strain rate (CSR),radial strain(RS) and strain rate(RSR) in systole were measured using VVI offline software.In addition,diastolic peak un-rotation rate,untwisting rate(unTwR) were measured.Each parameters was analyzed both in subendocardial and subepicardial layer.Results There was no significant difference in left ventricular ejection fraction between two groups.EDV,ESV,SV were significantly decreased (P＜0.01) in HCM group.Left ventricular twist(LVtw),CS of subendocardial layer were higher in HCM group than control group(P＜0.05),while the peak rotation rate,un-rotation rate,CS,CSR were lower of subepicardial layer (P＜0.05).The RSR of each short axis level were significantly decreased in HCM group (P＜0.01).The diastolic unTwR was decreased in HCM group (P＜0.05).For further analysis of the two subgroups in HCM,more regional torsion deterioration occurred in patients with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction than those without obstruction.Conclusions The global cardiac twist angle of HCM was higher than normal person,but the circumferential deformation ability of regional myocardium was impaired,left ventricular outflow tract obstruction may aggravate the regional myocardial dysfunction.

The shape of regurgitant jets in 30 patients with eccentric mitral regurgitaltoll Showing flow convergence region(FCR)was observed.It was found that the shapes of the jets were allslender and close to left atrial wall.In comparison of the regurgitant volume calculated by pulsed Doppler and regurgitant flow rate by flow convergence with the regurgitant jet area and the ratio 0f the regurgitant area to left atrial area respectively,the results showed that there were poor correlations between them (r=0.59,0.56 and r=0.55,0.57)and good correlation between regurgitant volume determined by Pulsed Doppler and regurgitant flow rate by flow convergence(r=0. 96,P<0.01).When the regurgitant flow rates calculated by flow convergence were same,the regurgitartt jet area and the ratio of the regurgitant jet area to left atrial area of non-eccentric mitral regurgitation were obviously larger than those of eccentric mitral regurgitation.The results indicated that the regurgitant jet area and the ratio of the regurgitant jet area to left atrial area underestimated the severity of eccentric mitral regurgitation apparently and that flow convergence region could be used to assess the seVerItY 0f eccentric mitral regurgitation accurately.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the rationality of preventive use of antibiotics for patient undergoing thyroidectomy.METHODS:120 patients undergoing thyroidectomy from Jan 2005 to Mar 2007 in our hospital were enrolled.The exclusion criteria were the following:patients with infection,coronary heart diseases,diabetes,and other severe diseases or with body temperature above 38 ℃ and aged above 60.The 120 patients were assigned to antibiotic group and non-antibiotic group.Then the healing condition of incisions in two groups was evaluated.RESULTS:There was no significant difference between the two groups in incision healing.CONCLUSION:Antibiotics don't have to be used in patients undergoing thyroidectomy.

Objective To investigate the application effect of the ankle foot orthoses (AFO)in the rehabilitation of patients with hemiplegia and abnormal gait after stroke Methods Sixty consecutive stroked patients with hemiplegia admitted to Meizhou People′s Hospital,Guagdong Province from January in 2013 to June in 2015 were enrolled retrospectively,and they were divided into either an AFO group or a non-AFO group (n = 30 in each group)according to the odd or even admission numbers. The patients in the non-AFO group were treated with conventional rehabilitation training and those in the AFO group were treated with AFO. Before and after treatment,the Berg balance scale (BBS)was used to assess the balance ability of the patients,10 m maximum walking speed (MWS)was used to assess the walking speed of the patients,and the physiological cost index (PCI)was used to assess the walking efficiency of the patients. Results After treatment,there was significant difference in Brunnstrom grade between the AFO group and the non-AFO group (P < 0. 05). The BBS score and MWS of the patients in the AFO group were 39 ± 5 and 0. 97 ± 0. 38 m/ s respectively after treatment,and they were higher than those before treatment (33 ± 4 and 0. 28 ± 0. 07 m/ s)and those of non-AFO group (36 ± 4 and 0. 54 ± 0. 31 m/ s)after treatment. There were significant differences (all P <0. 05). The PCI was 0. 84 ± 0. 30 in the AFO group after treatment was 0. 84 ± 0. 30. It was lower than that before treatment (1. 32 ± 0. 31)and that of non-AFO after treatment (0. 96 ±0. 33). There was significant difference (all P < 0. 05). Conclusion The application of APO in stroked patients with hemiplegia and abnormal gait has better clinical efficacy. It can significantly im-prove the balance state of patients and improve the walking speed and efficiency.

Objective To study the relationship of the antepartum foramen ovale (FO),the ratios of foramen ovale and aorta (FO/AO) and postpartum ostium secundum atrial septal defect (ASD).Methods Nine hundred fifty-eight fetuses were divided into 5 groups by gestational age,18-22 weeks,23-26 weeks,27-30 weeks,31-34 weeks,35-40 weeks.The diameter of FO and aortic (AO) and FO/AO were measured by fetal echocardiography,the postpartum echocardiography were followed up more than 12 months after birth.ANOVA was used to compare FO,AO,FO/AO with different gestational age.Regression equation estimate was used to compare the relationship of FO and AO with gestational age.Independent sample T test was used to compare FO and FO/AO with postpartum ostium secundum ASD and postpartum normal heart.Results There was significant difference in FO and AO among 5 groups(P =0.000),FO and AO increased with increasing gestational age.There was significant difference in antepartum FO,FO/AO between postpartum ostium secundum ASD and postpartum normal heart (P =0.000).Conclusions Antepartum FO and FO/AO provide clinical value in observing postpartum ostium secundum ASD.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of two dimensional echocardiography combining with enhanced flow (e-flow) imaging for fetal heart malformation.Methods 1580 cases were screened for fetal heart malformation.The diagnostic accuracy was evaluated by comparing the results fetal echocardiography with those of postpartum echocardiography,surgery or autopsy.Results Antepartum and postpartum data were obtained in 1286 of the 1580 fetuses (81.39％).Among the 1286 cases,the sensitivity,specificity,mistake diagnostic rate,omission diagnostic rate was 98.0 ％,99.3 ％,2.0 ％,0.7％,respectively.The consistency evaluation of fetal heart malformation by two dimensional echocardiography combining with e-flow concluded that the valve of Kappa was 0.970 (P =0.000).Conclusions Two dimensional echocardiography combining with e-flow is an accurate and reliable method for diagnosing fetal heart malformation,it has a high sensitivity and specificity.

Objective To assess the effect of aortic valve replacement (AVR) on left ventricular (LV) twist function in severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients with preserved LV ejection fraction (LVEF) by speckle tracking imaging (STI).Methods Twenty-eight severe aortic stenosis (AS) patients (17 male,age 64.1 ± 10.4 years) with normal LVEF (≥50％) were examined by STI before and six months after AVR.The standard mitral valve and apical short-axis views were obtained to analyze LV basal and apical peak systolic rotation.LV peak systolic twist was calculated as the different between apical rotation and basal rotation.LV fractional shortening (LVFS) was calculated as the percentage fall of LV systolic dimension with respect to diastolic dimension.The data were compared with 28 age and sex-matched normal controls.Results In patients,LVEF remained unchanged after AVR.LV twist increased before (19.7° ± 5.7° vs 12.9° ± 3.2°,P ＜0.001) because of increased apical rotation (13.0° ± 5.8° vs 7.6° ± 2.6°,P ＜0.001),and normalized after AVR (14.4°± 5.2°,P ＜0.001).In controls,LV twist correlated with LVFS (r =0.81,P ＜ 0.001),this relationship was reversed in patients before (r =0.52,P ＜0.01) and after AVR (r =0.34,P ＞0.05).Conclusions In patients with severe AS and normal LVEF,LV twist is exaggerated suggesting potential compensation for reduced long axis function.These disturbances normalize within six months of AVR but lose their relationship with basal LV function.
