Objective To investigate the early diagnosis and management of eclampsia complicated with encephalopathy and to reduce the maternal mortality rate. Methods A retrospective study was carried out on 8 cases with encephalopathy caused by eclampsia between Jan. 1988～Dec. 2002. Results There were 8 cases (22.2%) complicated with encephalopathy in 36 eclampsia patients. Four cases presented with cerebral hemorrhage,2 with cerebral infarct,1 with cerebral edema and 1 with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Two women died(25%). Conclusions The prognosis of eclampsia patient complicated with encephalopathy can be greatly improved by early diagnosis and proper treatment based on the clinical manifestations and computed tomographic scan.

Objective To research the early effects and side-effects of the local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma patients using intensity-modulated radiotherapy(IMRT)combined with concurrent chemotherapy.Methods From January 2005 to January 2007,60 patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma of stage m-IV b were received IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy in our center.Sixty patients were divided into paclitaxel concurrent group(32 patients)and cisplatin concurrent group(28 patients).The prescribing doses of the primary tumor were 68-72 Gy for each group.The patients of paclitaxel concurrent group patients of the cisplatin concurrent group got earlier radiodennatitis and radiation-induced mucositis but also got significantly higher rate of radiodermatitis,radiation-induced mucositis,radiation-induced leucopenia and gastrointestinal toxicity,as well as the loss of weight.No significant difference was found on liver and renal funcfons between two groups.Four patients(12.5%)of the paclitaxel concurrent group were broken-off,which was much better than the cisplatin concurrent group.There was no significant difference on the specific length of break-off time,the 2-year overall survival rate and the 2-year diseaee-free survival rate between two groups.Conclusions IMRT combined with concurrent chemotherapy of paclitaxel liposome for local advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma results in less side-effects and better tolerance than IMRT combined with concurrent cisplatin chemotherapy.

Objective To observe the effects of happy family cognitive training on patients with vascular cognitive impairment. Meth-ods From April, 2015 to April, 2016, 80 patients with vascular cognitive impairment were divided randomly into happy family cognitive training group (n=40) and control group (n=40). Both groups accepted routine medicine and rehabilitation exercise, while the happy family cognitive training group received happy family cognitive training additionally. They were assessed with Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and Activities of Daily Living (ADL) before and after 12 weeks of treatment. Results The scores of MoCA and ADL improved more in the family cognitive training group than in the control group after treatment (t>5.454, P<0.001). Conclusion Happy family cogni-tive training is effective on vascular cognitive impairment, for cognitive function and activities of daily living.

The low dose hyper-radiosensitivity (HRS) in human lung cancer cell line A549 was investigated, the changes of ATM kinase, cell cycle and apoptosis of cells at different doses of radiation were observed, and the possible mechanisms were discussed. A549 cells in logarithmic growth phase were irradiated with (60)Co gamma-rays at doses of 0-2 Gy. Together with flow cytometry for precise cell sorting, cell survival fraction was measured by means of conventional colony-formation assay. The expression of ATM1981Ser-P protein was examined by Western blot 1 h after radiation. Apoptosis was detected by Hoechst 33258 fluorescent staining, and Annexin V-FITC/PI staining flow cytometry 24 h after radiation. Cell cycle distribution was observed by flow cytometry 6, 12 and 24 h after radiation. The results showed that the expression of ATM1981Ser-P protein was observed at 0.2 Gy, followed by an increase at >0.2 Gy, and reached the peak at 0.5 Gy, with little further increase as the dose exceeded 0.5 Gy. Twenty-four h after radiation, partial cells presented the characteristic morphological changes of apoptosis, and the cell apoptosis curve was coincident with the survival curve. As compared with control group, the cell cycle almost had no changes after exposure to 0.1 and 0.2 Gy radiation (P>0.05). After exposure to 0.3, 0.4 and 0.5 Gy radiation, G(2)/M phase arrest occurred 6 and 12 h after radiation (P<0.05), and the ratio of G(2)/M phase cells was decreased 24 h after radiation (P<0.05). It was concluded that A549 cells displayed the phenomenon of HRS/IRR. The mode of cell death was mainly apoptosis. The activity of ATM and cell cycle change may take an important role in HRS/IRR.

Objective To study the relationship between plasma TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-10 levels and radiation pneumonitis (RP) in patients received thoracic irradiation with 3DCRT. Methods Sixty-nine patients of lung cancer stage Ⅲ or esophageal carcinoma were evaluated prospectively by EUSA for plasma TNF-α, TGF- β, IL-10 levels and IL-10/TNF-α before 3DCRT, after 40 - 50 Gy and after 3DCRT. Results Twenty-eight patients had RP. In RP patients, the plasma TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-10 levels and IL-10/TNF-α was (15.2 ± 13.4) μg/L, (28.4 ± 13.4), (24. 1 ± 17. 1) ng/L and 1.01 ± 0.86 before 3DCRT, respectively;TNF-α increased to (36.1 ± 15.5) ng/L(t = 2.01, P = 0.040), IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-α decreased to (18.8 ± 10.8) ng/L (t =1.40, P = 0.166) and 0.62 0.55 (t = 1.90, P = 0.063)after 40-50 Gy. After 3DCRT TNF-α was higher (36.9 ± 15.5) ng/L than that before 3DCRT(t = - 2.20, P = 0.032) ,but IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-α were lower than that before 3DCRT [(13.7 ± 6.2) ng/L, t = 3.03, P = 0.005 ;0.41 ± 0.21, t = 3.60, P = 0.001]. TGF-β was not change in three times(P > 0.05) .In non-RP patients, TGF-β,TNF-α, IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-α was not yet change in three times(P > 0.05) respectively. TGF-β was not yet change between RP and non-RP patients before 3DCRT (t = 0.54, P = 0.594), and TNF-α was higher in RP group than that in non-RP group after 40-50 Gy(t = 2.02, P = 0.048), but IL-10 and IL-10/TNF-α was less in RP group than that in non-RP group after 3DCRT(t=2.50,P=0.015;t=4.63,P=0.000). Conclusions The levels of TNF-α and IL-10 are closely related to the occurrence of RP. Monitoring the changes in dynamic state could predict the generation of RP, which could be employed as a sensitive index for indicating risks for acute RP.

This article was aimed to study the acute toxicities on intragastric administration of differentRadix Aconiti Lateralis Praeparataprocessed products to Beagle dogs. A total of 16 healthy and qualified Beagle dogs were randomly divided into the blank group,Pao-Fu-Pian(PFP) group,Pao-Tian-Xiong(PTX) group andHei-Shun-Pian(HSP) group according to the body weight. The intragastric administration of 4 g crude herb per kg was given. Before medication, 1 h, 24 h, and 3, 7, 14 days after medication, the body weight, food consumption, rectal temperature, electrocardiogram, blood routine and blood biochemistry were measured. The results showed that after medication, all dogs in three experimental groups were depressed. And there were significant differences in the electrolytes of blood. Among them, the HSP group was the most obvious one. The red blood cells, blood sugar and triglycerides of dogs in the PFP group had significant difference. The lymphocytes and blood sugar had significant difference of dogs in the PTX group. However, after the medication of HSP, the lymphocytes of the dogs were decreased significantly. It was concluded that the toxicity of three processed products followed the order of HSP > PFP > PTX.

Objective:To evaluate the outcome and prognostic factors of conventional radiotherapy followed by intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) as a boost combined with chemotherapy in the treatment of high-grade gliomas (HGG). Methods:From Nov. 2004 to Nov. 2006, 112 HGG patients were treated with conventional radiotherapy followed by IMRT as a boost combined with chemotherapy. The radiotherapy regimen included first-course conventional radiotherapy and latE-course IMRT as a boost with the total radiation dosage of 57.5- 62.5Gy (27-29 fractions in 37-45 days). All the patients received chemotherapy. Sixty-three patients received temozolomidE-based chemotherapy and 49 patients received semustine plus teniposide chemotherapy. The treatment reaction was recorded. The overall survival rate and local progression-free survival rate were calculated. The prognostic factors were analyzed by using multivariate COX regression model. Results:The acute treatment toxicity was the most at grade 1 to grade 2 and no grade 4 adverse reaction was observed. Three cases had late radiation-induced brain necrosis. The overall 1-, 2-, and 3-year survival rates were 78.9%, 54.7%, and 30.8%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor location (P=0.001) and KPS score (P=0.011) were independent prognostic factors. The 1-, 2-, 3-year local progression-free survival rates were 63.8%, 38.9%, and 10.5%, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed that tumor location (P=0.001), KPS score (P=0.001), and histologic type (P=0.005) were independent prognostic factors. Multivariate analysis did not reveal the significant correlation of temozolomide chemotherapy with the prognosis of the patients. Conclusion:Postoperative conventional radiotherapy followed by IMRT as a boost combined with chemotherapy has better short-term efficacy in the treatment of HGG and the adverse reaction is tolerable. KPS score, tumor location, and histologic type are important prognostic factors. Temozolomide chemotherapy is not associated with the prognosis of patients.

Objective To investigate the relationship of serum adiponectin (APN) gene promoter region single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) frequency and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods 120 cases of T2DM were divided into Yin Deficiency Syndromes(n=42), Yin hot (n=38), yin and yang (n=40) and 50 cases of normal volunteers were select as the control group. The diponectin gene (aPM1) promoter polymorphisms of each group were detected with polymerase chain reaction amplification (PCR).Results Serum APN Yin hot levels in patients with T2DM (6.98 ± 1.23 μg/ml) were lower than Qi and yin (2.55 ± 0.78 μg/ml) and yang group (3.48 ± 0.22 μg/ml) (P<0.05), and TG, LDL-C, TC (4.48 ± 0.87 mmol/L, 4.98 ± 0.42 mmol/L, 5.36 ± 0.79 mmol/L) were higher than Qi and yin (3.25 ± 0.75 mmol/L, 4.02 ± 0.69 mmol/L, 3.12 ± 0.52 mmol/L) and yang group (3.18 ± 0.69 mmol/L, 4.09 ± 0.71 mmol/L, 3.22 ± 0.78 mmol/L)(P<0.05). Yin hot type aPM1-11377G/C genotype of the GG genotype was significantly higher than the proportion of Qi and yin and yang group (P<0.05), while the yin and yang and yin and yang group aPM1-11377G/C genotype the proportion was higher in GG genotype (P<0.05). GG genotype was significantly lower than serum APN type CG and CC genotype (P<0.05), whereas no significantdifference in other indexes (P>0.05).Conclusion T2DM patients Yin hot type inherent relationship with aPM1-11377G/C polymorphism, aPM1-11377G/C polymorphism may reflect R2DM Disease Syndromes typing a certain extent, and by influence insulin resistance in patients with arterial plaque and serum APN levels, thereby affecting T2DM disease occurrence and progression.

Objective To investigate the effects of oral care using hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate to prevent neonatal ventilator associated pneumonia(VAP). Methods Totally 209 neonates were recruited and divided into the experimental group with 104 cases and the control group with 105 cases by using random number table method. Based on conventional mechanical ventilation nursing,the experimental group received oral care using 1.5%hydrogen peroxide combined with 2.5% sodium bicarbonate,Q8H,while the control group received oral care using only 2.5% sodium bicarbonate,Q8H. Positive results of bacteria detection in tracheal sputum culture,the incidence rate of VAP,mechanical ventilation time,hospitalization time and hospitalization costs were compared between two groups. Results After 48 hours of mechanical ventilation,the difference in positive results of bacteria detection in tracheal sputum culture between two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). The difference of incidence rate of VAP between two groups showed no statistical significance(P>0.05) when the duration of the mechanical ventilation was 48 hours. While after 48 hours of the mechanical ventilation,the difference of the incidence rate of VAP between two groups was statistically significant(P<0.05). The differences in mechanical ventilation time and hospitalization time between two groups were statistically significant(P<0.05). The hospitalization costs of the experimental group was higher than that of the control group,while the difference showed no statistical significance(P>0.05). Conclusion The combined usage of hydrogen peroxide and sodium bicarbonate for oral care can effectively eliminate neonatal oral bacteria colonization and prevent neonatal VAP,so as to reduce the time of mechanical ventilation and hospitaliza-tion, and decrease hospitalization costs.
