The emergent and severe diseases always shows the characteristics of acute course, severe condition, rapid changes, and many complications. The common treatments based on syndrome differentiation usually lacked dynamics and promptness. The treatment of emergent and severe diseases emphasized the importance of early interventions, which can reverse the acute trend of the diseases and improve the outcomes. This article discuessed in five parts, including the meaning and significance of trend identification, the physiological and pathological trend of the human body, the influence factors of diseases' trend, how to carry out a trend identification and intervention strategies of trend identification. It elaborated the theory about the trend identification in the emergent and severe diseases.
2.Healthcare Reform should Prioritize Equality while Maintain Efficiency
Chinese Medical Ethics 1994;0(06):-
By equality in the healthcare retorm we mean equal access to healthcare protection.Future reiorm should establish a fair value concept and make great efforts to solve the serious lack of fairness in the current healthcare system.Efficiency in the healthcare refers to not only higher revenue income of medical institutes but also to utmostly meet the citizens" needs for medical service.For the sake of the most cost - effective distribution of the insufficient budgets and medical resources,medical services have to be diversified for an improved efficiency. In the framework of the healthcare reform,relations between equality and efficiency is the unity of opposites,and top priority shall be given to equality while maintain efficiency.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of Chuankezhi acupoint injection combined with nursing health care education for treatment of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) at stable stage complicated with spleen kidney deficiency syndrome.Methods A prospective study was conducted. 118 patients with stable COPD and spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome admitted to Hangzhou Third People's Hospital and Zhejiang Xinhua Hospital from February to April 2014 were enrolled, and they were divided into an experimental group (60 cases) and a control group (58 cases) according to the random number table. Both groups were given conventional treatment [including oxygen therapy, bronchodilators, corticosteroids, rehabilitation therapy in accord with the Global Initiative COPD (GOLD)]. Simultaneously, in the experimental group, Chuankezhi acupoint injection was additionally given, once daily for 12 weeks, and appropriate corresponding health education was mentioned. The lung function, quality of life and prognoses of the patients were regularly followed up for 9 months and compared between the two groups.Results After 12 weeks, one second forced expiratory volume (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity (FVC) and maximum voluntary ventilation (MVV) per minute in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group [FEV1 (L): 1.57±0.42 vs. 1.35±0.35, FEV1/FVC: (58.62±4.56)% vs. (50.36±4.35)%, MVV (L/min): 60.62±7.56 vs. 56.95±6.33, allP < 0.05]. The quality of life evaluation form for COPD (QLICD-COPD) was used to evaluate the physical function, psychological function, social function and specific modules scores, showing that the above items in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in control group (total score: 74.69±8.92 vs. 68.62±8.95, physical function score: 74.16±8.55 vs. 66.31±7.15, mental function score: 78.69±9.79 vs. 72.64±8.45, social function score: 75.45±6.75 vs. 70.36±6.12, specific modules score: 67.52±6.33 vs. 61.36±6.17, allP < 0.05); Barthel index score was also significantly higher than that in the control group (75.41±9.24 vs. 68.43±7.95,P < 0.05). Within 9 months of follow-up, the incidence of acute exacerbation of COPD in the experimental group was significantly lower than that in the control group [5.00% (3/60) vs. 17.24% (10/58),P < 0.05]. The re-admission rate was also significantly less in patients in experimental group compared with that of control group [1.67% (1/60) vs. 12.07% (7/58),P < 0.05]. Conclusion Chuankezhi acupoint injection with health education for treatment of patients with COPD at stable stage and spleen kidney yang deficiency syndrome has good clinical efficacy, worthy to be applied more widely.

Objective To explore the characteristics of uhrasonography of hepatobiliary cystadenoma. Methods The ultrasonographic characteristics of 5 cases with hepatobiliary cystadenoma were retrospectively analysed, and compared with the operation and pathology. Results The ultrasonography of 5 cases was multilocular cystic mass,which seems to be,but not indeed communicating with the biliary tree,in which irregular septation was demonstrated in two-dimensional structure and also with perforator vessels along in color Doppler flow imagineg. And in some cases small papillary tuft and small loci of calcification was noted on the septation. Conclusions Muhilocular cystic mass,locating along the biliary tree, however not communicating with the the biliary tree, is an important diagnostic basis of biliary cystadenoma. And it should be distinguished with other cystic tumor in the liver.

A gas chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry coupled with solid phase microextraction method ( SPME-GC/QQQ) was developed for the determination of chlorinated anilines ( CAs) residues in soil. The multi-reaction monitoring ( MRM ) parameters were optimized. The SPME conditions such as amount of soil sample, volume of added water, extraction temperature and absorption time were investigated. Optimum SPME conditions including 8 g of soil sample, 4 mL of water, 80℃ of extraction temperature and 40 min of absorption time were employed in the experiment. Method detection limits were within the range of 1-10 pg/g, while linearities were within the range of 5-1000 pg/g. Under the optimized conditions, the soil samples spiked with 200 pg/g targets were determined with recoveries of 96. 8%-144. 2%and relative standard deviations of 13 . 4%-27 . 8% ( n=5 ) . The proposed method combines simplicity and rapidity of SPME and high selectivity of MRM. It is especially suitable for the quick screening and determination of trace amounts of chlorinated anilines residues in soil.

Objective To analyze the timing and frequency of spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in a rat model,and evaluate its value bearing some relation to duration of cardiac arrest (CA ) in predicting the severity of post-resuscitation myocardial dysfunction.Methods Twenty-seven healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly (random number)divided into 3 groups according to different durations of CA:CA 4 min (n=9),CA 6 min (n=9)and CA 8 min (n=9).CA of rats was electrically induced and untreated for 4,6 or 8 min respectively in the corresponding groups,and then cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)was initiated and continued for 8 min in all animals.The emergence timing and frequency of spontaneous gasping during cardiopulmonary resuscitation and resuscitation outcomes were documented.Myocardial function such as cardiac output,ejection fraction and Tei index was measured by echocardiography prior to CA and at 1 h,2 h and 4 h post-resuscitation.Results The earliest appearance of gasping with highest frequency was observed in the CA 4 min group during CPR.Gasping appeared later with decreased frequency observed following longer duration of CA.There were statistically significant differences in the timing and frequency of gasping among the 3 groups.In the CA 4 min group with frequent gasping,all animals were successfully resuscitated with 8-min CPR with the least number of defibrillation,which was significantly better than that in the CA 8 min group.During the evaluation of post-resuscitation myocardial function,cardiac output,ejection fraction and myocardial work index (Tei index) were better in the CA 4 min group with frequent gasping,worse in the CA 6 min group and worst in the CA 8 min group, showing statistically significant differences in cardiac function among the 3 groups. Conclusions The spontaneous gasping appeared sooner with higher frequency during cardiopulmonary resuscitation indicated shorter duration of CA,and predicted better success of resuscitation and post-resuscitation myocardial function.

BACKGROUND:Anterior cervical plate can maximize the intervertebral space height,expand intervertebral foramen,restore cervical physiological antecurvature,prevent instability due to implant micromovement,and increase graft fusion.However,the selection of entire autologous bone or Ti-mesh bone graft remains uncertain in application of anterior cervical plate.OBJECTIVE:To compare the complications of three different intervertebral fusion methods in anterior cervical decompression surgery.METHODS:A total of 92 cases of cervical spondylotic myelopathy were treated by anterior cervical decompression and three different intervertebral fusion methods.They were followed up for at least 3 months.Of them,6 underwent bone grafting alone,21 underwent autogenous bone graft with cervical plate-screw fixation,and 65 underwent pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation.Complications were observed in all cases.RESULTS AND CONCLUSLON:A total of 2 of 6 autogenous bone grafting cases suffered from graft bone dislocation,1 suffered from pseudoarthrosis formation,and 1 suffered from donated ilium.Six of 21 autogenous bone graft with cervical plate-screw fixation suffered from loss of intervertebral height,and 3 suffered from pain of donated ilium.Eleven of 65 pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation suffered from titanium mesh subsidence,1 case suffered from breakage of fixation screw.Simple autogenous bone grafting surgery was rarely used due to long duration of external fixation and too much complications.Autogenous bone grafting with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation surgery has shortage of grafted bone absorption and pain of donated ilium.Pyramesh with anterior cervical plate-screw fixation surgery overcomes the shortage of donated iliac pain,but remains the shortage of titanium mesh subsidence and lose of intervertebral height.
