International Journal of Surgery 2013;40(12):820-824
To review the outcome of the endovascular treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease,the recent literature concerning endovascular treatment as well as aortoiliac occlusive disease was extensively reviewed,and the research and development were summarized.The results are:(1) In most cases,endovascular invention is better than surgery ; (2) Stent placement has a higher technical success rates and a better longterm outcome than percutaneous transluminal angioplasty,primary or selective stent placement,which is better,is controversial; (3)Covered stents perform better than bare stents in longer-term patency and clinical outcome ; (4)Endovascular treatment of complex AIOD provides excellent early and long-term results,similar to those obtained in the treatment of simple lesions.So,in general,endovascular treatment of aortoiliac occlusive disease provides excellent clinical results,further research is needed.
2.Will Chinese ovarian cancer patients benefit from knowing the BRCA2 mutation status?
Chinese Journal of Cancer 2012;31(1):1-4
In Western countries, the mutation status of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes is commonly determined for genetic counseling among members of families with a history of breast or ovarian cancer, especially for women of the Ashkenazi Jewish ethnicity. Recent studies in the Cancer Genome Atlas project have demonstrated that BRCA2 mutation carriers are more responsive to platinum-based chemotherapy among high-grade serous ovarian cancer patients. Thus, in Western countries, the mutation status of BRCA1 and BRCA2 is recognized to have an important value with which to assess cancer risk and therapeutic response. However, very limited studies of BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations and their implications for counseling and therapeutic prediction have been conducted in China. Therefore, a potentially important genetic test that is technically simple has not benefited Chinese women with an increased risk of breast or ovarian cancer. This article summarizes the current progress in the study of BRCA1/2 mutation in China and recommends an increased effort in applying advances in genetic testing to the clinical management of Chinese patients with ovarian cancer.

The patient-physician relationship can be understood from the two aspects of patients′ trust and patients′ satisfaction.Compared with patients′ satisfaction,dimensions and attributes of patients′ trust indicate to better match with the measuring capacity of patients.Thus,the evaluation of the quality of medical services based on patients′ trust is justified theoretically.The existing literatures assert that the research on patients′ trust could help understand patient-physician relationship and eventually improve the quality of medical services.The conceptual model in this paper entails the concept,dimensions and attributes of patients′ trust.Also,this paper points out its effect on the measurement of the quality of medical services through the comparison of patients′ trust and patients′ satisfaction.

Objective To observe the Smad5 gene knockout and induced-changes of auditory physiology and cochlea morphology in mouse, to explore whether Smad5 gene is a new gene related to hearing function. Methods Double blind control methods were used to detect the auditory threshold of auditory brainstem responses (ABR) in the mouse of Smad5 (+/+) to Smad5(+/-) and the cochlea morphology (cochlea paraffin-cut section and basal membrane spreading section). The hair cell count was also taken. Results As shown by ABR audiometry, the average hearing of Smad5 (+/-) mouse (aged 24 weeks) is 90.63?17.65 dB (SPL) and that of Smad5(+/+) mouse is 63?19.94 dB(SPL), which are of significant difference (P0.05). Conclusion Smad5(+/-) gene knockout can cause the mouse a auditory threshold decline in moderate or severe extent. Cochlea morphology indicated that hair cells (mainly outer hair cells) in mouse cochlea basal membrane became deficient. A mechanism of Smad5 gene knockout to caused the deafness and the deficiency of hair cells remained to be further studied.

BACKGROUND: The effect of cognitive therapy on psychological stress is not remarkable and optimal. Some psychocatharsis through physical activities cannot be accepted by many clients.OBJECTIVE: To explore an effective method to treat and relieve psychological stress.DESIGN: A controlled (the blank control and the self-control) observation study and single blind trial.SETTING: Department of Preventive Medicine, Medical College of Jinagsu University.PARTICIPANTS: Clients who suffered from emotional suppression or nervous stress would be tested with "psychological stress test". Forty clients, with scores over 5, were selected as the subjects. They were randomly divided into two groups matching of ages and scores: control group (n=20) and experimental group (n=20).METHODS: Clients in the control group were treated with common cognitive therapy by means of talking, and those in the experimental group accepted a sing a song loudly therapy. The song named as Qinghai-Tibet Plateau was selected for the treatment. The clients were requested to sing the song loudly in order to release their stress and vent their repression.The psychologist used the language introduction by background music to make a client under a special kind of psychological situation and emotional state when the music was played for one to two times. Then the psychologist would turn up gradually the volume of sound to the maximum when the music was played for the third time. The volume from the VCD would overwhelm that from the client's voice in order to cover up the singer's shyness. The client sung the song of Qinghai-Tibet Plateau loudly for four to five times. The therapeutic room was required to have a blanch curtain.The sound insulation also was required. The soundscape of the loudspeakers should be wide. The power magnifier should be strong. The loudspeaker should be high fidelity. The questionnaire of psychological stress test was adopted in both groups before and after therapy respectively. It had 30 items for the self-diagnosis of symptoms. The client was diagnosed as a low stress if his or her score reached 5, 11-20 as sever stress, and above 21 as adaptability disorder.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Scores of stress level were observed before and after therapy in both groups.RESULTS: The scores in the control group before and after therapy were approximately the same (15.6±5.3 vs 14.7±4.8, t=1.739, P > 0.05). The scores in the experimental group after therapy was significantly lower than those before therapy (11.6±5.8 vs 15.5±6.1, t=9.863, P < 0.05). After therapy, the scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group (11.6±5.8 vs 14.7±4.8, t=4.811, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: Sing a song loudly is an effective method that is easy to operate in treating psychological stress.
