Objective To investigate the differences of efficacy and economic efficiency between neuroendoscope and microscope for intracerebral hematomas cleaning operation. Methods From August 2014 to August 2015, clinical data of 68 cases with intracerebral hemorrhage were analyzed retrospectively. Hematoma evacuation was carried out by microscope in 37 cases (microscope group) received and 31 cases (endoscope group) underwent neuroendoscope. Following parameters were compared: the operation related index (hematoma clearance rate , intraoperative blood loss , the operation time , skin incision , bone window size ) , Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months after the operation, complications (intracranial infection, lung infections, gastrointestinal bleeding), medical economic parameters (the postoperative hospital stay, drug cost, cost other than drug, and total hospital cost). Results The hematoma clearance rate, Glasgow Outcome Scale at 6 months after the operation in the endoscope group were significantly better than those in the microscope group (P <0.05). The intraoperative blood loss, the operation time, skin incision, bone window size the postoperative hospital stay , drug costs , no drug costs , and total hospital cost in the neuroendoscope group were significantly lower than those in the microscope group (P < 0.01). The intracranial infection, lung infections in the neuroendoscope group were lower those in the microscope group (P < 0.05). There was no statistical difference in the incidence of gastrointestinal bleeding between the two groups (P > 0.05). The postoperative hospital stay, drug costs , no drug costs , and total hospital cost were significantly less in neuroendoscope group than that in microscope group (P< 0.01). Conclusion Neuroendoscopy has less trauma,there are some advantages of neuroendoscopy for intracerebral hematomas cleaning operation , such as minimal trauma , prominent effect , good prognosis and low cost. It should be widely applied in clinical practice.

Objective To predict the disease progression risks of healthy rhesus ( normal) and rhesus infected with simian immunodeficiency virus ( SIV) in the stages of long-term nonprogressor ( LTNP) , normal progressor ( NP) , rapid progressor ( RP) by discriminant analysis. Methods Five-year observation was carried out in SIV infected rhesus model without any intervention. The SIV infected rhesus model at the stages of LTNP, NP, RP were selected, 10 in each group, and T lymphocyte subsets and serum parameters for spleen-deficiency syndrome and kidney-deficiency syndrome in SIV infected rhesus were compared with 5 healthy monkey having the same survival time. The influence factors of different types of disease progression were screened from T cell subsets and Chinese medical syndrome indexes, and then the discriminant equation was established to predict the risks. Results White blood cell ( WBC) count and lymphocyte ( LYM) ratio were enrolled into the discriminant equation before infection, and T4 level and Log10RNA of set point were enrolled into the discriminant equation in the platform period. The test results for the uniform rate of the established discriminant function showed that the total coincidence rate of theoretic distinguish to the actual data was 57.1% , 91.2%respectively before infection and in the platform period. Conclusion The pre-infection WBC count and LYM ratio can be used as a reference for the evaluation of different types of disease progresson, and Log10RNA and T4 level at platform phase can be used as the predicting factors of different types of disease progression risk prediction.

This is a review of the progress in the study on auditory event-related potentials (ERP) of novel events. Several cognitive problems about the novelty ERP response on brain and the experiment methods are introduced. The mismatch negative potential (MMN) reflects the detection of deviant events, and MMN is related with the novelty P3. Familiarity and attention influence the novelty ERP response. Experiments results showed that the amplitude of ERPs in the frontal area was reduced with the enhancement of familiarity, while that in the parietal area had little change. Attention was helpful in increasing the amplitude of ERPs, and could make the corresponding brain area active. The functional significance of the response of ERP was discussed also.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the efficacy and safety of oseltamivir phosphate as treatment for naturally acquired influenza infection.

METHODSThis study was conducted as a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial during the influenza epidemic season from January to April 2001 at 7 centers in China. A total of 478 adults without other medical history, aged 18 to 65 years, were enrolled into the study. All subjects demonstrated febrile respiratory illness of no more than 36 hours' duration with a temperature of 37.8 degrees C or more plus at least two of the following symptoms: coryza/nasal congestion, sore throat, cough, myalgia/muscles aches and pain, fatigue, headache or chills/sweats. Individuals were randomized into either the oseltamivir phosphate or placebo group with identical-looking capsules. Either oral oseltamivir phosphate, 75 mg twice daily, or placebo was administered to the subjects for 5 days.

RESULTSA total of 451 individuals were analyzed for efficacy as the intent-to-treat population (ITT) (216 oseltamivir and 235 placebo) and 273 individuals were identified as influenza-infected through laboratory test, who were then defined as the intent-to-treat infected population (ITTI) (134 oseltamivir and 139 placebo). Four hundred and fifty nine individuals were included in the safety analysis. In the ITTI population, the cumulative alleviation proportion of oseltamivir group was significantly higher than that of the placebo group (P = 0.0466)). The median duration of illness was 91.6 h [95% confidence interval (CI) = 80.2 - 101.3 h] in the oseltamivir group and 95 h (95% CI = 84.5 - 105.3 h) in the placebo group. The median area under the curve of decreased total score was significantly higher in the oseltamivir group than in the placebo group, 1382.9 and 1236.7 score-hours, respectively (P = 0.0196). For the ITT population, similar results were observed. Adverse events (AE) were similarly reported in both the oseltamivir group and the placebo group. The main adverse events following test drug were gastrointestinal symptoms, neurological symptoms and rashes.

CONCLUSIONOseltamivir was effective and well tolerated as treatment of early naturally acquired influenza.

Ionizing radiation has been widely used for diagnosis and treatment of diseases. Nevertheless, radiation exposure may increase the risk of skin, cardiovascular system, hematological system, and metabolic disorders, and even the risk of cancers. Rational use of ionizing radiation improves prognosis and facilitates biomedical research, while misuse or overuse may result in serious consequences. Scientific and objective assessment of health hazards of medical radiation and establishment of effective protective interventions are of great importance to control the risk of radiation exposure. This article reviews the health hazards and protective measures of medical radiation.
