Objective To explore the value of nasal continuous positive airway pressure(nCPAP) in treating obstructive sleep apnea syndrome(OSAHS). Methods According to the efficacy of nCPAP, 76 patients with OSAHS were divided into treatment success group(n=50) and control group(n=26), and indices before and after treatment were analyzed. Results The longest and average apnea duration as well as the lowest oxygen saturation(SpO 2) increased, while apnea-hypopnea index(AHI) decreased (P

Objective To investigate the pathogenic characteristics of Vibrio cholera strains isola-ted from Hubei province in 2012 , and to identify the source of infection by analyzing their genetic correla-tions.Methods The biochemical identification , toxin gene detection and drug susceptibility test were car-ried out to analyze a total of 35 Vibrio cholera strains isolated from three epidemic areas .Comparison of ge-nomic DNA fingerprints and cluster analysis among isolates of Vibrio cholera was conducted by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis ( PFGE ) .Results All of the 35 strains were Vibrio cholera O139 , of which 71.42%were toxic strains.The drug resistance rates of Vibrio cholera strains to tetracycline, cotrimoxazole and rifampincin were 57.14%, 88.57%and 80.00%, respectively.Analysis of genomic DNA fingerprints of the isolates showed highly similar with similarity values ranging from 80%-100%.Most of the strains iso-lated from the same epidemic area fell into the same one cluster with 100% homology in genome Only a strain isolated from turtle in Jingzhou area was belong to a different cluster .Conclusion The Vibrio cholera O139 strains were the dominant strains causing the outbreaks of cholera in Hubei province in 2012 .Most of them were toxigenic strains .A large majority of the strains had developed resistance to tetracycline , cotri-moxazole and rifampincin , but all strains showed high susceptibility to ceftriaxone and imipenem .Vibrio cholera strains isolated from the same epidemic area were mainly belonged to the same one cluster , sugges-ting the same source of infection .However, the strains varied among different epidemic area .Follow-up in-vestigations of three outbreaks of cholera in this study were all associated with food infection .Therefore , more attention should be paid to food sanitation and safety measurement .Although a non-toxigenic strain iso-lated from turtle was not associated with the epidemic of cholera , surveillance for seafood and aquatic prod-ucts would still be necessary .

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypnotherapy on improving pain degree,pain catastrophizing,pain self efficacy,coping styles of female college students with primary dysmenorrhea, and to provide the theoretical support for psychological intervention. Methods: Fifty six female college students with primary dysmenorrhea were randomly divided into experimental group( n =28) and control group( n =28).Samples in the experimental group received 10 session structured hypnotherapy, while the control group received no intervention (the control group could receive the intervention when the intervention was proved to be effective) .The effects were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS),Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS),Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire（PSEQ）,was proved to be effective .The effects were evaluated with Numerical Rating Scale (NRS),Pain Catastrophizing Scale (PCS),Pain Self Efficacy Questionnaire（PSEQ）,Simplified Coping Style Questionnaire（SCSQ）in the pretest，protest and tracking test. Results: The time effect，group effect and time group interaction on the NRS,PCS,PSEQ scores of the two groups of female college students were all statistically significant ( F =12.83，21.77，13.65； 22.96，28.98，24.84；25.35，18.26，27.02， P < 0.01 ).Immediately after the intervention and 3 months after the intervention，the scores of SCSQ positive coping dimension of the experimental group（1.43±0.35，1.50±0.39）were significantly higher than those of the control group（1.22±0.19，1.20±0.21），and the scores of SCSQ negative coping dimension of the experimental group（1.59±0.38，1.52±0.49）were significantly lower than those of the control group（1.80±0.17，1.80±0.20）, the differences were all statistically significant ( P <0.05);There were statistical differences among time effect，group effect and timegroup interaction on the positive coping and negative coping scores of SCSQ ( F = 15.14 ， 4.29 ， 14.37 ；7.66，4.10，6.95， P <0.05). Conclusion Hypnotherapy intervention for female college students with primary dysmenorrhea can effectively alleviate pain degree，and improve the pain catastrophizing and coping styles,enhance their pain self efficacy. The hypnotherapy also shows long term effects.
