Journal of China Medical University 2015;44(8):717-720,724
Objective To investigate the curative effect of different biofeedback and electrical stimulation solutions on female stress urinary inconti-nence(SUI). Methods A total of 40 female patients with mild-to-moderate SUI were randomly divided into two groups(n=20 each group)and treated by the biofeedback and electrical stimulation. In the treatment group,the current increased in the middle of the treatment on the basis of the initial threshold of stimulus intensity to make a new tolerable threshold of stimulus intensity. In the control group,the patients were treated with the initial threshold of stimulus intensity during the whole treatment. The curative effects in these two groups were determined by the comprehensive strength of pelvic floor,the 1 h urine pad test results,and the life quality scores of urinary incontinence. Results After treatment,there were signifi-cant improvements in all the above indicators in two groups(P<0.05),and the results is better in the treatment group than in the control group. The effective rate in treatment group(95%,19/20)was higher than that in the control group(65%,13/20)(P<0.05). Conclusion The biofeedback and electrical stimulation were effective and safe in the treatment of women with SUI. The curative effect of patients treated with increasing current in the middle of the treatment is better,suggesting that it can be widely applied in clinic.

Objective To investigate the risk factors of worsening renal function (WRF) in patients with chronic heart failure ( CHF) and WRF influence on prognosis. Methods A case-control study were undertaken to analyze independent risk factor statistically related to incidence of WRF, and to assess the influence of WRF on prognosis. Results The independent predictors of WRF were creatinine level at admission (OR 2.248,95% CI 1.088-4.647, P = 0.029) and NYHA class on admission ( OR 2.485, 95% CI 1.3854. 459, P = 0.002). The mortality of patient with WRF was obviously higher than that of control group during hospitalization( OR 3. 824,95% CI 2. 452-5. 637 ,P <0.015). Conclusions WRF is a common complication among patients hospitalized for CHF, and is obviously associated with mortality during hospitalization. Higher creatinine level and weak heart function are independent risk factors for incidence of WRF of patients with CHF.

Background:Detection and removal of colorectal polyp by colonoscopy is of great importance for prevention of colorectal carcinoma. Aims:To investigate whether the clinical symptoms of patients undergoing colonoscopy may hint colorectal polyp and carcinoma,and provide reference for candidate selection in colonoscopic screening. Methods:A total of 2 366 patients undergoing colonoscopy were recruited and the history information such as symptoms at outpatient visits, site and nature of the lesions was collected for analyzing the detection rates of colorectal polyp and carcinoma and the correlations of clinical symptoms with the risk and site of the disease. Results:The overall detection rates of colorectal polyp and carcinoma were 20. 5% and 5. 4% ,respectively,in 2 366 patients. The detection rates were significantly higher in symptomatic patients than those in asymptomatic patients(24. 2% vs. 4. 5% for polyp and 6. 4% vs. 0. 9% for carcinoma,P all = 0. 000). Moreover,when patients were classified by major symptoms,the detection rate of colorectal polyp was significantly increased in patients with diarrhea(OR = 1. 213),hematochezia(OR = 2. 076),and changing of stool consistency(OR = 1. 503)(P all < 0. 05),and the detection rate of colorectal carcinoma was significantly increased in patients with abdominal pain( OR = 1. 568),hematochezia( OR = 2. 837),changing of stool consistency( OR =2. 206),and tenesmus( OR = 1. 735)( P all < 0. 05). The major symptoms being hematochezia,changing of stool consistency and tenesmus were associated with lesions locating at rectum or left hemicolon(P all < 0. 05). Conclusions:Diarrhea, hematochezia and changing of stool consistency hints risk for colorectal polyp, while abdominal pain, hematochezia,changing of stool consistency and tenesmus hints risk for colorectal carcinoma. Colonoscopy is strongly recommended for patients with these symptoms.

Objective To investigate drug resistance and genotypes of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) isolated from intensive care unit (ICU). Methods MRSA strains were isolated from patients, medical staff and environment of hospital ICUs. Disk diffusion (K-B method) was used for drug resistance testing; Staphylococcal cassette chromosome mec (SCCmec) and Staphylococcal protein A (spa) typing methods were used for genotyping and identifying the homology. Results There were 78 strains of Staphylococcus aureus isolated including 62 isolates of MRSA, which were mainly from the burn ICU (22, 35.48%). Among 62 MRSA strains, 50 were hospital acquired strains, in which 43 isolates were of SCCmec Ⅲ, 4 of SCCmec Ⅰ and 3 of SCCmec Ⅱ. Twelve isolates could not be typed. Twenty-eight out of 37 hospital acquired isolates were typed by spa typing as SCCmec Ⅲ-t030, which belonged to the same clone. Conclusion MRSA in ICU is multi-drug resistant and SCCmec Ⅲ-t030 is the most prevalent genotype, which indicates that clinical MRSA strains and environmental MRSA strains may be homologous.

OBJECTIVETo explore the mechanism of the aging deformity of tear trough through the anatomic study of the tear trough region.
METHODS13 adult cadaveric heads (26 sides), including 9 male heads (18 sides) and 4 female heads (8 sides), aged 22-78 years old, were used. Anatomic study was performed around the orbital, especially tear trough region, with microsurgery instrument under microscope( x 10 times). The lower orbicularis retaining ligament was dissected and exposed. The anatomic location was recorded and photographed.
RESULTS(1) The anatomic layers of the tear trough region contains skin, subcutaneous tissue, orbicularis oculi muscle, periosteal membrane. There is no subcutaneous fat above the tear trough, while it exists below the tear trough, called malar fat pad. (2) There is a natural boundary between the septal and the orbital portions of the orbicularis oculi muscle of lower eyelid at surface of the orbital bone. The natural boundary, projected on the body surface corresponds to tear trough. The width of boundary is (2.06 +/- 0.15) mm on the vertical line through inner canthus and (3.25 +/- 0.12) mm on the vertical line through the lateral margin of the ala. The septal portion and the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle began to merge in (16.56 +/- 0.51) mm to inner canthus. (3) There is ligament attachment in the medial, upper and lower orbital and no ligament attachment in the lateral orbital. Orbicularis retaining ligament of lower eyelid is divided into two layers. (4) The medial of the upper layer of the orbicularis retaining ligament in lower eyelid originates from orbital margin and from preorbital walls laterally in (16.10 +/- 0.43) mm to the medial of lateral orbital margin, through orbicularis oculi muscle and ends at the skin. The lower layer of the orbicularis retaining ligament of lower eyelid originates from preorbital walls through orbicularis oculi muscle and its superficial fat, then ends at the skin.
CONCLUSIONSThe length of tear trough is (16.56 +/- 0.51) mm, the width of tear trough is (2.06 +/- 0.15) mm and (3.25 +/- 0.12) mm on the vertical line through inner canthus and the lateral margin of the ala nasi respectively. The main reason of the aging deformity of tear trough attributes to the increased distance between the upper and lower layers of the orbicularis retaining ligament in lower eyelid, which is caused by loose of the orbicularis retaining ligament and its underlying fat atrophy or decline.
