Recently,alveolar recruitment maneuver is one of effective management of mechanically ventilated patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.Recruitment maneuvers are widely used in clinical practice to open the lung and prevent lung injury by derecruitment,improving the compliance,increasing PaO2,increasing the PaO2/FiO2 ratio,and reducing the pulmonary shunt fraction,although the evidence is still discussed.This review discussed recruitment maneuvers in pediatric patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome.

The problems in making PowerPoint slides include too many characters in a single slide,too many presentations in a class hour,lacking or impertinently employing of multimedia materials,deficiency in aesthetic feeling,etc.The problems in clinical theoretical teaching aided with PowerPoint include the teacher becoming a commentator for slides,teaching too many contents in a single hour,neglecting traditional teaching aid,etc.The combination of rich medical knowledge,super teaching skills and ability of good taste for slides is the key to make perfectly and use rightly PowerPoint.

Ubiquitin specific peptidases play important roles in controlling proteasome activity,organogenesis,tumorigenesis and transcriptional regulation.Ubiquitin specific peptidase 9X is able to remove ubiquitin from substrate proteins,so it may effectively regulate the proliferation,adhesion and signal transduction of tumor cells.It is a one of the most important factors in tumor progression.

Objective:To discuss the clinical value of CT-guided interstitial implantation of125I radioactive particle through the percutaneous puncture in the treatment of central-type lung cancer.Methods: 63 patients with the central-type lung cancer treated in Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from November 2013 to July 2016 were randomly grouped (31 cases in the control group and 32 cases in the observation group). Patients in the control group were given the treatment of bronchial arterial perfusion with the chemotherapeutic drugs; while patients in the observation group were given the CT-guided interstitial implantation of125I radioactive particle through the percutaneous puncture. The clinical therapeutic effect and complications were observed of the two groups and the quality of life scores before and after the treatment were summarized between two groups as well.Results: The overall effective rate of observation group was 84.38% (27/32) that was higher than 61.29%(19/31) of control group, with statistical difference (x2=4.259,P<0.05); the complication rate of observation group was 9.38% (3/32) that was lower than 12.90% (4/31) of control group, with no statistical difference (x2=0.002,P>0.05); the quality of life score of observation group after the treatment was 84.57±3.27 that was higher than 70.38±3.20 of control group, with statistical difference (t=17.402,P<0.05).Conclusion: CT-guided interstitial implantation of125I radioactive particle through the percutaneous puncture in the treatment of patients with central-type lung cancer has the significant effect, and it can effectively improve the quality of life for patients and have the high degree of safety.

Objective To explore the value of detecting serum cytokeratin 19 fragmen 21-1 (CYFRA21-1) and squamous cell carcinoma antigen (SCCAg) in the diagnosis of patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma.Methods 79 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma from October 2013 to October 2015 as case group and 145 patients with nasopharyngeal chronic inflammation as control group were collected.The CYFRA21-1 level was detected by the electrochemical luminescence immunoassay and the SCCAg level was detected by the enzymoimmunoassay.Comparisons of diagnostic value of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg to nasopharyngeal carcinoma were conducted according to pathological diagnosis.Results The serum CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg levels in case group were (12.37±1.65) g/L and (1.65±0.37) ng/ml,and the control group were (4.26±1.99) g/L and (1.22±0.45) ng/ml,with statistically significant differences (t =8.093,P =0.002;t =4.287,P =0.043).The sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,negative predictive value and accuracy of CYFRA21-1 combined with SCCAg in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma were higher than those of CYFRA21-1 and SCCAg respectively,and the difference all were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Detecting serum CYFRA21-1 combined with SCCAg in the diagnosis of nasopharyngeal carcinoma has high sensitivity and good specificity,which can significantly improve the diagnostic accuracy.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the therapeutic effects of manipulative reduction for calcaneal fractures.

METHODSFrom January 2009 to June 2012, 53 cases (60 affected feet) of Sanders type I-IV calcaneal fractures were treated by manipulative reduction and external fixation with cardboard splint,including 45 males and 8 females with an average age of (33.5 +/- 1.54) years old ranging from 18 to 65. The course of disease ranged 0.5 h to 7 d. Before treatment the feet were swelling, ache and activity limitation in evidence, some feet were wide flat deformity, the cortical bone was broken in the imaging examination. All selected cases were evaluated using Creighton-Nebraska health foundation assessment scale for fractures of calcaneus.

RESULTSAll cases were followed up at 12 months after treatment, 13 feet got excellent curative effect, 34 good, 11 moderate and 2 poor.

CONCLUSIONManipulative reduction for Sanders type I-IV calcaneal fractures could get excellent curative effect. Manipulative reduction for calcaneal fractures could avoid surgical trauma while assure high curative effects. Manipulative reduction is not only economical and easy therapy, but also can restore maximum function of the calcaneus with few complications and facilitate early rehabilitation of ankle and joint function.

OBJECTIVETo observe the clinical effects of essential hypertension treated with acupuncture at Siguan [Hegu (LI 4) and Taichong (LR 3)], Quchi (LI 11) and Xingjian (LR 2).

METHODSSixty cases of essential hypertension were randomly divided into an acupuncture group and a medication group, 30 cases in each group. Two groups of acupoint, which were (1) Siguan [Hegu (LI 4) and Taichong (LR 3)] and (2) Quchi (LI 11), Xingjian (LR 2), were selected alternatively in the acupuncture group, once everyday. In the medication group, captopril was prescribed for oral administration 25 mg per time, three times per day. Seven days made one session in both groups and totally three sessions were required.

RESULTS(1) After treatment, the blood pressure were decreased significantly in the two groups (all P < 0.01). Compared with the medication group, the diastolic pressure after 14 days, 21 days of treatment in the acupuncture group was decreased significantly (both P < 0.01). (2) In the terms of TCM syndrome score, the improvement of dizziness, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, palpitations was significant in the acupuncture group compared with that in the medication group(all P < 0.05). (3) The acupuncture group had less adverse reactions compared with the control group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONAcupuncture at Hegu (LI4) and Taichong (LR 3), Quchi (LI 11) and Xingjian (LR 2) can effectively decrease blood pressure; the effect of controlling diastolic pressure is better than captopril. It can also improve the symptoms of dizziness, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, and palpitations.

ObjectiveTo find out the prevalence of brucellosis in Baotou,and to provide a scientific basis for integrated control of brucellosis.MethodIn 2010,high-risk people 7 to 70 years of age engaged in livestock farming,grazing,slaughtering,processing and selling were investigated in 9 districts (banners,counties)of Baotou city.In accordance with the principle of informed consent,blood samples were collected,serum titer was tested using the rose bengal agglutination test and tube agglutination test(SAT),and serum titer of 1:100(+ +) was considered as positive brucellosis,and results were evaluated based on brucellosis monitoring standards(GB 16885-1997).ResultsA total of 5832 copy blood samples were collected,and 250 cases were tested positive,the positive rate was 4.25％.The number of new cases was 164,accounting for 2.81％ (164/5832).Age was mainly concentrated in the 40 to 60 years,accounting for 66.0％(165/250).Brucellosis infection in the livestock industry accounted for 80.87％ (4757/5882).From the regional distribution,DAMAOQI had the most detected cases,and the detection rate was 12.10％ (73/603).ConclusionsContinue to increase the brucellosis prevention knowledge propaganda,carry out brucellosis surveillance of high-risk people,quarantine,and strengthen immunity is the only measure of effective control of brucellosis epidemic.

Objective To understand the arsenic level in drinking water and the current situation in prevention and control of endemic arsenic poisoning in Tuyouqi,Baotou of Inner Mongolia.Methods Through door-to-door survey,we selected patients with arsenic poisoning in order to monitor the arsenic poisoning condition of seven villages(Gangfangying,Laohuyao,Shilaozhang,Youfangying,Wanglaosi,Dajing and Xiaojing) in Tuyouqi,Baotou in 2010,and the disease was diagnosed based on Standard of Diagnosis for Endemic Arsenism(WS/T 211-2001).We also investigated the operation of Salaqi Water Company,Maodai Water Company and the Laohuyao water improvement project.We collected two samples per place in both low water period and high water period to measure water arsenic with silver diethyldithiocarbamate spectrophotometry(WS/T 28-1996).Results Three water improving projects were operating in normal conditions.Water arsenic in Salaqi Water Company and Maodai Water Company was level less than 0.01 mg/L,which met the National Safety Standards of drinking water with arsenic.Water arsenic in Laohuyao improvement project was 0.053 mg/L,which was higher than the drinking water safety standards.The seven villages in Tuyouqi had improved their water conditions.Among them,the arsenic level in Laohuyao was 0.052 mg/L,and the remaining six villages were ＜ 0.05 mg/L.There were 6 suspected cases,14 mild cases,4 moderate cases and 10 severe cases of the 2095 people monitored and no new cases found.The age of patients with arsenic poisoning was in the range of 40 to 70.Conclusions The monitoring results show that drinking water arsenic level in some villages in Tuyouqi is still excessive,but no new arsenic poisoning patients in arsenic poisoning areas are found.

BACKGROUND:Few cases of acute cerebral embolism were treated by mechanical thrombectomy al over the world. However, there were few cases currently treated by mechanical thrombectomy using Penumbra system. It is an unclear understanding of effects on regional cerebral blood vessels using this kind of surgery.
OBJECTIVE:To describe effects of numerical simulation on regional cerebral blood vessels of an acute cerebral embolism patient by mechanical embolectomy using Penumbra system.
METHODS:A 77-year-old woman suffering from acute cerebral embolism of left middle cerebral artery was selected. Various raw data were col ected in emergency of digital subtraction angiography, then mechanical thrombectomy using Penumbra system was carried out successful y. After these raw data were processed into dimensional numerical models of two kinds of embolectomy methods (“suction bolt method from near to far”and“suction bolt method from far to near”), and then finite element analysis was carried out.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Model establishment and finite element analysis were successful y conducted. Compared with“suction bolt method from near to far”,“suction bolt method from far to near”models had smal er velocity of flow in catheter and smal er wal shear stress of thrombus (P<0.01), and had larger wal shear stress of blood vessel wal , deformation of blood vessel wal (P<0.01) and deformation of thrombus (P<0.05). Results suggested that finite element analysis of mechanical embolectomy using Penumbra system can help physicians to involve in a clear understanding of their impacts on cerebral blood vessels of patients. As a research method, it is worth to continue to explore in the future.
