Objective To study the main causes of hearing disability in Beijing residents. Methods The second national sample survey on disability of China was carried out in Beijing on April 1,2006. Muhiphase, stratified, proportional and cluster samplings were adopted to investigate 74 795 residents in Beijing, including 36 753 males and 38 042 females. 55 773 were urban residents while 19 022 from rural areas. The method of descriptive study was used to analyze the data of hearing disabitity in Beijing. Results Top five causes of hearing disability (including multiple disabilities) in Beijing were presbycusis, unknown, systematic diseases, noise induced, and odds media. The prevalence was 1.10%, 0.30%, 0.30%, 0.20% and 0.17%, respectively. Heredity, unknown and others were the main causes of children under 0～14 years. Unknown, ototoxicity, and otitis media were the main causes of people aged 15 ～59 years. Presbycusis, systematic diseases, noise induced and unknown were main causes of people aged 60 years and older. Presbycusis was the top cause of hearing disability for male and female residents as well as people live in urban and rural areas in Beijing. Conclusion Presbyeusis, unknown, systematic diseases, noise induced, and otitis media were main causes of hearing disability (including multiple disabilities) in Beijing.

Objective To investigate the effect of vibroacoustic therapy on the behavioral problem for children with cerebral injury. ethods 20 cerebral injury children (aged 6~8 years) with behavioral problem judged with Conners Parent Symptom Questionnaire (PSQ) ccepted vibroaacoustic therapy. Their PSQ scores were reviewed before and after treatment. Results Comparing with the norm, the scores f conduct problems, learning problems, anxiety and impulsivity-hyperactivity were higher in cerebral injured boys, while the scores of hysical symptoms and anxiety were higher in girls. The scores of learning problem, anxiety, impulsivity-hyperactivity and hyperactivity index educed after the vibroacoustic therapy (P<0.05). Conclusion Vibroacoustic therapy can alleviate the behavioral problems of children ith cerebral injury.

Objective To evaluate the precision of GFR using Gates method and compared with the results from renal pathological changes. Methods Twenty-seven patients whose 99Tcm-DTPA renograms had no obvious uptake phase were enrolled in Group A, and 27 patients whose 99Tcm-DTPA renograms had obvious uptake phase were enrolled in Group B. The measurement of GFR by Gates method was compared to the creatinine clearance measured and predicted by Cockroft-Gault (C-G), modification of diet in renal disease (MDRD) and SCr level. Renal pathological changes in two groups were compared using Pearson correlation and t test analysis. Results In Group A, GFR determined by Gates method did not show correlation with that estimated by C-G or 1/SCr (r = 0. 357,0. 376, both P ＞0.05), but was significantly correlated with GFR estimated by MDRD(r = 0. 440, P ＜ 0.05). In Group B, GFR determined by Gates method showed significantly correlation among GFR estimated by MDRD, C-G, and 1/SCr (r =0. 471, 0. 527,0. 452, all P ＜ 0.05). Renal tubulointerstitial damage score in Group A was higher than that in Group B (7.15±2.32, 3.70±3.06, t=4.66, P ＜0.001). Conclusions GFR determined by Gates method is less precise when 99Tcm-DTPA renogram has no obvious uptake phase than that when 99Tcm-DTPA renogram has obvious uptake phase. Renal tubulointerstitial damage is a strong indicator of no obvious uptake phase in 99Tcm-DTPA renogram.

Objective To investigate the radiation dose and image quality of spectral and conventional CT scan in neck.Methods Sixty patients with enhanced neck CT scan were analyzed retrospectively.The 30 patients with spectral CT scan were included in spectral CT group,and the 30 patients with conventional CT scan were included in conventional CT group.The tube voltage,tube current and rotation speed of the spectral CT group were fast switching with 80 and 140 kVp,630 mA and 0.5 s,respectively.The scanning parameters of conventional CT group were 120 kVp,auto tube current (100 to 600 mA),and 0.6 s,respectively.The objective evaluation [noise and (contrast to noise ratio) CNR] and subjective scores in the upper,middle and lower neck were evaluated.The radiation dose was also evaluated in the two groups.The independent-samples t test was used in comparison of the radiation dose.The independent-samples t test and the rank sum test were used to compare the objective and subjective image quality.Results The CT dose index of spectral and conventional scan in the neck were 17.77 mGy and (17.26±2.18) mGy,respectively without significant difference (t=-1.26,P=0.218).The noises of 65 keV images in upper,middle and lower neck were (4.5 ± 0.8),(4.5 ± 0.9),(5.2 ± 1.0) HU,and the noises of conventional CT images in above-mentioned regions were (4.5± 1.1),(4.1± 1.0),(5.0± 1.7) HU.There was no significant differences (t=0.102,-1.362,-0.621;P＞0.05).The subjective scores of 65 keV images in upper,middle and lower neck were (4.1 ± 0.3),(4.7 ± 0.5),(3.8 ± 0.7),while the subjective scores of conventional CT images in associated region were (4.1±0.4),(4.6 ±0.5),(3.5 ±0.6),wihtout significant differences (Z=-0.286,-0.531,-1.568;P＞0.05).The noises of 55 keV images in upper,middle and lower neck were (5.4±0.9),(5.6± 1.1),(6.6± 1.6) HU,which were significantly higher than noise of conventional images (t=-3.614,-5.560,-3.784;P＜0.05).The subjective scores of 55 keV images in upper and middle neck were (3.7±0.5),(4.2±0.4),which were significantly lower than those of conventional images (Z=-2.541,-3.136;P＜0.05).The subjective score of 55 keV images in lower neck was (3.3±0.8),which was no significant difference in comparison with conventional image (Z=-1.318,P＞0.05).There was no significant difference between the CNR of conventional images and CNR of spectral images with 65 keV and 55 keV in upper,middle and lower neck (P＞0.05).Conclusion The radiation dose and the image quality of spectral CT scan are same to the conventional CT scan in the neck,the 65 keV monochromatic images can be used routinely.

Background: Acute mastitis is an acute infectious disease of breast. Antibiotic treatment is often unable to obtain a good effect, and we should actively look for a safe and effective non-drug therapy. Objective: To validate the clinical efficacy of kneading and dispersing manipulation in treatment of early-stage acute mastitis. Design, setting, participants and interventions: According to the multicenter randomized controlled trial design, 198 cases of acute mastitis from Yueyang Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese Medicine, Longhua Hospital, and Shanghai Yangpu Maternity and Child Health Hospital were randomly divided into treatment group and control group. There were 99 cases in each group. Patients in the treatment group were only treated with manipulation, and cefradine was orally administered to patients in the control group. Main outcome measures: The local breast lump size, clinical symptoms and the adverse reactions in the two groups were observed before and after the treatment. Results: The total response rates in the treatment and control group were 95.92% (94/98) and 80% (76/95) respectively. There was a significant difference in the total response rate between the two groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in the score of breast lump size, and the score of signs and symptoms between the two groups (P<0.05). Conclusion: Kneading and dispersing manipulation has certain effects on early-stage acute mastitis, and the therapy is safe and repeatable.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of high-dose amiodarone administered by continuously intravenous infusion for cardioversion of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.Methods From 2008 to 2010,109 patients suffered from paroxysmal atrial fibrillation were treated with high-dose arniodarone (125 mg/h) administered by continuously intravenous infusion.Before cardioversion,patients were treated with low molecular weight heparin anticoagulant therapy,Laboratory tests on FT3,FT4,TSH,serum ions,etc,and coloured Doppler ultrasound imaging of heart,and ECG and blood pressure monitoring were carried out.Amiodarone hydrochloride injectio of 150 mg was mixed with sodium chloride 50 mL homogeneously,and then infused continuously by micro-pump in a rate of 41 mL/h until resume of sinus rhythm or infusion was kept up to 24 h.After successful cardioversion,as appropriate,the intravenous amiodarone was maintained in a rate of 0.5-1.0 mg/min for 6-12 h joined with oral amiodarone dosing,and the total dose was limited up to 3000 mg.Results A cohort of 104 (95.4％) patients had the restoration of sinus rhythm after cardioversion.The mean dose of amiodarone for cardioversion was (774.52 t 700.53) mg,and time required for cardioversion was (6.3 ± 5.55) hours.Conclusions The patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation are given high-dose amiodarone (125 mg/h) continuously intravenous infusion therapy and have high cardioversion success rate,less complications and side effects,as well as other advantages at the basic hospital.The method above has broad application prospects.

Objective: To understand the current situation of blood-borne occupational exposure among health care workers and evaluate the intervention effect of PDCA. Methods: Retrospective survey was adopted to investigate and analyze the blood-borne occupational exposure incidents in a hospital from January 2015 to December 2018, and to compare the intervention effects after PDCA management. Results: A total of 82 cases of occupational exposure occurred from 2015 to 2017, and only 9 cases happened after the implementation of PDCA intervention. The exposed population was mainly consisted of nurses (59 cases, 64.83%) , and mainly with low-working age (1-5 years) (56 cases, 61.54%) , and the main source of exposure was hepatitis B (34 cases, 37.36%) . In addition, after the implementation of PDCA, the vaccination rate of personnel was 77.78%, the standardized field treatment rate was 100%, the preventive drug use rate was 88.89%; The qualified rate of occupational protection assessment was higher than that before intervention, which all shows the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05) . Conclusion With the guide of PDCA management, Strengthen the training of new employees or ones with low working years as well as their awareness of protection, and standardize the relevant operational procedures, which can significantly improve the prevention of blood-borne occupational exposure and stress management of medical staff.

Objective To observe the characteristics of bone development and body development in 3-7 years old children with cerebral palsy. Methods 50 girls and 50 boys aged 3-7 years with cerebral palsy were included. Their height, weight, length of right and left upper extremities, and both hands bone age were measured by trained professionals. Results Their bone ages of both hands were 1 year younger than actual age (P<0.05), and there was no significant difference between right and left hand bone age (P>0.05). Their height growth was in line with the normal children, while the weight growth was a little different. Both sides of upper limbs growed synchronously, and slowed down with the time. There was no significant difference in both sides (P>0.05). Conclusion The bone development of children with cerebral palsy lags behind the life age. Their height growth is close to normal children. The development shows no no significant lateral dominance.
