Objective To explore the characteristics of community empty-nesters sleep quality and psychological defense mechanism,and the correlation between them.Methods 230 empty-nest elderly and 181 nonempty nesters were assessed with Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and Defense style questionnaire (DSQ).Results PSQI score of empty-nest ehlerly was (14.33±2.48),higher than that of non-empty nesters(t=17.857,P＜0.01).Factor score of immature psychological defense style in DSQ was (3.92± 1.20),for the mediate defense style was (4.49± 1.11),for the wrapping factor was (3.38± 1.92).All of them were higher than the scores for nonempty nesters,and the differences were statistically significant (t=4.463,6.937,5.404,P＜0.01).Factor score for mature psychological defense style in DSQ was (3.96±1.45),and lower than the score for non-empty nesters(t=7.472,P＜0.01).hnmature defense mechanism of empty-nest elderly was positively related with subjective sleep quality,sleep continuity,sleep disorders,using sleep medicine,dysfunction in the daytime,and the total score in PSQ1 (r=0.533,0.145,0.605,0.521,0.497,0.734).Mature defense mechanism was negative related with sleep latency,sleep continuity,and the total score in PSQI (r=-0.129,-0.542,-0.104).The mediate defense meehanism was positively related with subjective sleep quality,sleep latency and the total score in PSQI (r=0.186,0.294,0.131),while negative related with sleep efficiency(r=-0.188).The wrapping factor had a positive correlation with subjective sleep quality,using sleep medicine and the total score in PSQI (r=0.440,0.431,0.564).Conclusion Empty-nesters tend to adopt immature defense styles,and most of them have a poor sleeping,which are closely related with each other.

ObjectiveTo evaluate portal vein chemotherapy for the treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma with portal vein tumor thrombi(PVTT).MethodsFourty five HCC patients with tumor thrombi in the main portal vein or the first branches undergoing surgical resection were divided into two groups receiving postoperative intraarterial and intraportal chemotherapy (21 cases), and intraarterial chemotherapy only (24 cases).ResultsThe survival rates of 6,12,18 months was 86%, 76% and 48% in the treatment group compared with 75%, 58% and 33% in the control group respectively. There were significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion Hepatectomy for HCC with removal of tumor thrombi and transcatheter hepatic arterial and portal vein chemotherapy is an effective treatment for HCC with PVTT.

In order to investigate the effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on the proliferation of rabbit corneal endothelial cells and epithelial cells, the in vitro cultured rabbit corneal endothelial cells and epithelial cells were treated with different concentrations of NGF. MTT assay was used to examine the clonal growth and proliferation of the cells by determining the absorbency values at 570 nm. The results showed that NGF with three concentrations ranging from 5 U/mL to 500 U/mL enhanced the proliferation of rabbit corneal endothelial cells in a concentration-dependent manner. 50 U/mL and 500 U/mL NGF got more increase of proliferation than that of 5 U/mL NGF did. Meanwhile, 50 U/mL and 500 U/mL NGF could promote the proliferation of the rabbit corneal epithelial cells significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. However, 5 U/mL NGF did not enhance the proliferation of epithelial cells. It was suggested that exogenous NGF can stimulate the proliferation of both rabbit corneal endothelial and epithelial cells, but the extent of modulation is different.

Objective To investigate the prognostic outcome of open reduction and internal fixation(ORIF)with radial head resection in treatment of comminuted radial head fractures so as to discuss the corresponding operation options.Methods A series of 23 patients with Mason type Ⅲ or Ⅳ radial head fractures were enrolled in the study including 11 males and 12 females.Eight patients(three with Mason type Ⅲ and five with Mason type Ⅳ)underwent radial head resection and 15(seven with Mason type Ⅲ and eight with Mason type Ⅳ)received open reduction and internal fixation including nail and plate fixation in eight and screw and K-wire fixation in seven.The outcomes were assessed in regard of range of motion,radiographic findings,visual analogous scale(VAS)of pain,patient satisfaction degree,disabilities of the arm,shoulder and hand score system(DASH)and the Broberg & Morrey elbow performance score system.Results The follow-up period ranged from 12 to 65 months(mean 35 months),which showed fracture healing in all patients,with no traumatic arthritis happened.The mean range of flexion and extension arc at the elbow of ORIF group and resection group was 132°and 79.4°(P＜0.01)and the patient satisfaction was 9.1 and 8.0(P ＜0.05)respectively.According to the Broberg & Money elbow performance score system,the score was average 93.9 in the ORIF group,with excellent result in nine patients,good in five and fair in one,while the score was average 80.6 in the resection group,with excellent result in two patients,good in two and fair in four.There was statistical difference between two groups(P ＜0.01).The DASH score of the ORIF and resection group was 2.9 and 18.1 respectively(P＜0.05).Conclusions ORIF has better elbow motion,elbow function,daily living and satisfactory outcomes than radial head resection and is recommended for treatment of Mason type Ⅲ or Ⅳ radial head fractures for repair of the radial head as far as possible.

Objective　To investigate the effect of turning scleral flap of self-body over drainage in trabeculectomy.Methods　The surgery was performed on one eye of a rabbit while　the other eye of the same rabbit was conducted with the routine trabeculectomy as the control group. The filtering bleb, intraocular pressure and pathology were observed. Results　The intraocular pressure in the experimental eye was much lower than that in the control group 3～12 weeks after the operations (P＜0.05).As it was within 2 weeks after the surgeries, but there was no significant filtering difference (P＞0.05).The rate of eyes with functional bleb in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group at the postoperative 2～7 weeks .Conclusion　This study suggests the turning of self-body over drainage surgery can help to maintain filtering function for a long time and to prevent complication after filtering surgery.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the dosage and consumption sum of opioid analgesic drug in Qingdao district. METH-ODS:The consumption data of drugs in 29 public hospitals at secondary or above level in Qingdao district were analyzed statistical-ly by ABC analytic methods and defined daily dose methods. RESULTS:In ABC analysis,5 kinds of class A drugs accounted for 20% of the total number of species,and the percentage of consumption sum was 77.38%;4 kinds of class B drugs accounted for 16.00% of all species numbers,and the percentage of consumption sum was 11.98%;other 16 kinds of drugs accounted for 64.00% of the total number of species,and the percentage of consumption sum was 10.64%. Oxycodone sustained-release tablets and Morphine sustained-release tablets with the highest DDDs consumed more health care costs,serial number ratio was 1.00,syn-chronization was good and conform to the actual needs of clinical work. CONCLUSIONS:The composition ratio of opioid analge-sic drug costs is consistent with the theoretical value,significant discrepancy between cost and DDDs does not appear.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the perioperative prophylactic utilization of antibiotics in cataract patients in ophthalmology department of our hospital.METHODS:100 cases of cataract surgery in 2009 were randomly collected from our hospital.Category of antibiotics,administration time point,medication time,wound healing and drug costs in hospitalization period were analyzed statistically and the rationality of above indexes was evaluated.RESULTS:100 cases all received prophylactic antimicrobials by local and systematic administration in the perioperative period(100%).Drugs for systematic administration contained Levofloxacin(n=67,67%),Cefuroxime sodium for injection(n=25,25%),Clindamycin phosphate injection(n=2,2%) and Ceftazidime for injection(n=6,6%).63 cases were only given drugs 30 min before operation(63%);12 cases were given medicine 30 min before operation and within 24 h after operation(12%);above situation accounted for 75%.25 cases were given medicine before operation and within 24 h after operation(25%),in which the average medication duration was 2.5 days and the longest was 4 days.CONCLUSION:The irrational use of drugs in our hospital manifests inappropriate selection and too long use of antibiotics after operation.The interference of perioperative prophylactic utilization of antibiotics should be reinforced and it is urgent to intensify consciousness of physicians about rational use of antibiotics in perioperative period.

Objective To investigate mental symptoms of SARS patients and its related factors for three period-admission, discharge and three months after SARS crisis and to carry out mental intervention and effect evaluation.Methods The mental problems of SARS patients in three periods of admission, discharger and three months after discharger were continuously investigated.114 SARS patients came from seven designated hospitals in Taiyuan of Shanxi. The participants were assessed by self- compiled stressor Questionnaire, PSSS, SCSQ, SES, SCL-90 and EPQ.Results 1.Change tendency of factor score: The SCL-90 total and factors scores including obsessive-compulsion, phobic anxiety went up during discharge compared with admission. After that,these factors scores went down. The factors scores of somatization and depression descended continuously for three period. 2.Change tendency of the incidence:The incidence on factors of obsessive-compulsive, interpersonal sensitivity, phobic anxiety ascended during discharge compared with admission. Then,these factors scores descended. The other factors went down continually for three periods.3. The self-esteem was influencing factor on mental symptoms of SARS patients for three periods.Conscientious condition severity was influencing factor in admission and discharge.Negative coping was influencing factor in discharge and three months after SARS crisis. Education was influencing factor in three months after SARS crisis.4.After intervention ,the most mental symptoms of 35 SARS patients had mental problems were improved. Dissimilarly, a part of mental symptoms got severity.Conclusions 1.SARS patients exist severe mood disorders and have different influencing factors for three periods. They should be evaluated continuously and be intervened in time.2.The effect of mental intervention by telephone is not uncertainty.

Objective To discuss feasibility and clinical effect of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis (MIPPO) in treatment of unstable anterior pelvic ring fractures.Methods A retrospective study was carried out on data of eight patients with pelvic fractures,including five males and three females at age of 21-57 years (average 38 years).All fractures were identified as unstable type according to Tile classification.MIPPO was performed for all patients after closed reduction.Reduction effect was analyzed according to Matta radiological evaluation criterion.Results All patients were followed up for 3-5 months (average 4.1 months),which showed reduction of anterior pelvic ring in eight patients including satisfactory reduction in five patients and good reduction in three.Fractures in all patients obtained bony union without complications like vascular nerve injury,wound infection,intraoperative massive hemorrhage,deep venous thrombosis or postoperative long-term pain.Conclusion MIPPO has advantages of reduced bleeding,few soft tissue complications,low infection rate and easy removal in treatment of anterior pelvic ring fractures and thereby is a promising surgical method.

Objective To retrospectively compare the efficacy and toxicity between intensity?modulated radiotherapy ( IMRT ) combined with chemotherapy plus targeted therapy and IMRT combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma ( NPC) , and to preliminarily evaluate the necessity of adding targeted drugs to standard chemoradiotherapy . Methods Forty?two patients with stage Ⅲ?Ⅳb NPC who received IMRT combined with concurrent ± adjuvant chemotherapy plus targeted molecular therapy from January 2007 to December 2012 were assigned to experiment group,while 168 patients who received IMRT combined with concurrent ±adjuvant chemotherapy within the same period were assigned to control group. The experiment group was paired with the control group at a ratio of 1vs.4.The survival rates were caculated using Kaplan?Meier method and analyzed using log?rank method,other comparison was perfomed by χ2?test. Results The follow?up rate was 100%.The sample size of experiment group and control group were 42 patients and 168 patients. There were no significant differences in the 3?year OS, LRFS, or DMFS rates between the experiment group and the control group (94?3% vs. 87?3%, P=0?647;100?0% vs. 94?6%,P=0?193;92?2% vs. 89?1%, P=0?744).There were also no significant differences in the incidence rates of grade Ⅲ?Ⅳ gastrointestinal reaction or marrow suppression between the two groups ( 7?1%( 3/42 ) vs. 3?6%( 6/168 ) , P=0?388;26?2%( 11/42 ) vs. 17?3%(29/168),P=0?272).However,the experiment group had significantly higher incidence of grade Ⅲ?Ⅳoral mucositis than the control group ( 40?5%( 17/42 ) vs . 14?9%( 25/168 ) , P=0?000 ) . Conclusions The preliminary results indicate that IMRT combined with chemotherapy plus targeted molecular therapy is not able to substantially improve the OS, LRFS, or DMFS rates in patients with locally advanced NPC. Moreover, it may aggravate radiochemotherapy?induced oral mucositis.
